Chapter 388: The Playboy from a Noble Family and the Daughter of a Married Woman (11)
Wei Jingzhou went out to hang out with his group of friends for several days and came back late every day.
Seeing that her youngest son was showing signs of improvement, the Marquis' wife tried to comfort him when Ruan Guannan came to pay his respects.
Zhou Ge'er has always had this character since he became the governor.
She thought he would be more restrained after getting married, but he remained the same.
Sister-in-law Liu was also worried about her.
"Sister-in-law, you and Brother Zhou are newlyweds, you should take the initiative to keep in touch with each other, otherwise you will have to wait for me in the future..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Marquis’ wife at the top, who frowned and scolded him:
"Zhou'er just got married, what are you talking about here?"
Liu knew that she had said something wrong, so she quickly smiled and patted her lips, apologetically saying:
"It's my daughter-in-law who got it wrong."
Ruan Guannan smiled indifferently, then took the comforting jewelry given by his mother-in-law and leisurely returned to his yard.
Bai Lu was really worried about the situation of his master.
"Madam, please don't take the words of the Crown Prince's wife to heart. The Second Young Master..."
Bai Lu couldn't say that the Second Young Master would not take a concubine. After all, he was so famous that it was absolutely impossible for him not to take a concubine.
Ruan Guannan leaned comfortably on the couch, flipping through the profits of the shop she managed in recent days, and her mood was very bright.
Seeing Bai Lu's wrinkled face, Ruan Guannan jokingly stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth.
"Okay, I know what I'm doing."
"My eldest brother doesn't have any concubines at the moment, so it's only natural that my eldest sister-in-law should be more content."
Then he thought of something and said, "Today is the fifteenth day. Go and tell Cai'er to invite the second young master over after dinner today."
Bai Lu felt happy and quickly went to instruct Cai'er.
Ruan Guannan supported his chin, looked at the pleasant scenery outside the courtyard through the window lattice, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
As the sky gradually darkened, Wei Jingzhou listened to the singing of opera below, and the more he listened, the more irritated he became.
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer, so he stood up abruptly and walked out with big strides.
Noticing his movements, Zhou Cheng shouted to him, "Jingzhou, where are you going?"
Wei Jingzhou said "Go home" and left without looking back.
Zhou Cheng had a puzzled look on his face. "This guy comes back earlier and earlier each time. Is there any treasure hidden in his house?"
But soon, his attention was attracted by the beautiful actress downstairs, so how could he care about Wei Jingzhou's strangeness?
Wei Jingzhou hurried back home.
He didn't know what he was worried about. He returned home and didn't go anywhere. He just sat in the study.
Looking at the night scene outside the window, Wei Jingzhou couldn't help but call Lingshu in.
When Lingshu came in, he saw that his master didn't look well, and his heart skipped a beat.
I don’t know who has offended him again, but he is getting angrier day by day.
Over the past ten days, Ling Shu inexplicably felt that the Young Master was on the verge of exploding.
After waiting for a while, Wei Jingzhou's voice came from the top, "Is there any movement in the backyard today?"
Hearing his words, Lingshu couldn't help but sigh for the beautiful second wife.
Ever since the marriage exchange incident happened, the master has become increasingly displeased with his wife.
The two of them haven't seen each other for more than ten days. Could this offend the master from a distance?
It was really one wrong step, one wrong step after another.
Ling Shu sighed inwardly, but did not show it on his face. He whispered:
"I heard that when Madam went to pay respects today, Madam Hou gave her many precious jewels as a reward. I think she was praised by Madam Hou."
"and then?"
"Then?"
Ling Shu was a little confused, then scratched his head innocently, "I also returned to the mansion with you, and I haven't had time to inquire about the rest of the matter."
Seeing that he hadn't gotten the answer he wanted for a long time, Wei Jingzhou raised his voice a few notches and asked him directly,
"Has anyone from the backyard come to invite you?"
Ling Shu shook his head, "Sir, no."
Just as he finished speaking, before Wei Jingzhou could change his expression, the door of the study was knocked, "Second Young Master, Madam invites you..."
Before the servant could finish his words, the door in front of him suddenly opened from the inside, and the servant who was delivering the message was so frightened that he stepped back one after another.
Wei Jingzhou looked at the maid standing not far away, straightened his robe, held up a fan and said loudly:
"Since you have sent someone to invite me, I will go there."
After saying that, he strode towards the backyard.
Although he seemed to be walking slowly, in fact, Ling Shu behind him almost couldn't keep up with him.
When Wei Jingzhou arrived, Ruan Guannan had just finished dinner.
His eyes fell on the person he hadn't seen for nearly half a month, and his restless heart seemed to suddenly calm down after so many days.
The woman looked even more beautiful under the lantern. Wei Jingzhou stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched her quietly, unable to bear to disturb her peaceful and comfortable life.
Ruan Guannan followed Bai Lu's gaze towards the door, only to find that Wei Jingzhou had arrived.
In the past, he always came at bedtime, but tonight he came so early, which really surprised Ruan Guannan. He called him,
"Husband, why don't you come in?"
Wei Jingzhou had been staring at her, and when his eyes suddenly met hers not far away, he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
Trying his best to suppress the inexplicable emotions, he just raised his leg to enter the room when he heard a soft and gentle "husband" and almost tripped over the threshold.
This was obviously not the first time I heard her call him like that, why did it feel a little different this time?
He felt as if half of his body was numb and his heart was about to rise into his throat.
He quickly opened his folding fan and waved it a few times, "It's cooler in that place just now, I'll stay a little longer."
Ruan Guannan was somewhat confused by his series of strange behaviors, but he did not ask any further questions and just nodded in agreement.
"You can stand a little longer if you like."
Wei Jingzhou choked and finally shut his mouth.
This time Wei Jingzhou packed up very neatly and returned to his room early.
When Ruan Guannan came in after taking a shower, he saw him standing in front of the dressing table, looking at something.
When Wei Jingzhou saw her come in, his body, which had just relaxed, suddenly became tense.
Seeing someone coming, he subconsciously wanted to take a step back.
After realizing what was happening, Wei Jingzhou cursed him inwardly for being useless.
When both of them sat on the bed, Ruan Guannan let his half-dry long hair fall over his shoulders.
She raised her body slightly, and Wei Jingzhou instantly clenched his hands into fists, his nervous breathing slowing down.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Guannan just took off her embroidered shoes and then lay down on the bed alone.
Looking at Wei Jingzhou's motionless figure, she looked a little puzzled, "Husband, what's wrong? Why don't you go to bed and rest?"
The veins on the back of Wei Jingzhou's hands bulged, and his face, facing away from her, showed a look of gnashing teeth.
"Just come!"
The bed curtains fell, and the two of them lay quietly on the same bed, even audible to each other's breathing.
Smelling this familiar and tempting aroma again, Wei Jingzhou found it difficult to relax physically and his mind was in a mess, not knowing what to do.
When he was ready to move, he turned his head and saw that the person next to him was breathing shallowly and was obviously about to fall asleep.
Wei Jingzhou suddenly had an idea and reached out to pull the person over without any hesitation and pressed him under him.
Ruan Guannan was startled by his sudden action, "What are you doing?"
Wei Jingzhou tried his best to ignore the surprised gaze above his head and untied the tie around her waist.
"Fulfill your responsibilities as a husband."
