The Male Wife

Pei Cheng is not used to being alone in a room with Jiang Linzhi, so he can't help avoiding Jiang Linzhi's eyes, "Second Master, if you have anything to tell me alone."

Jiang Linzhi seemed to have noticed Pei Cheng's avoidance, pursed his lips, and sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word, until Pei Cheng's posture on the bed was almost stiff, and he said: "Yan Zhi's body needs to rest. For a while, before that, don't leave him alone again."

Pei Cheng's eyes were slightly confused, but he quickly turned to Qingming, "Second Lord, is this the solution you said?"

Pei Cheng expressed his dissatisfaction very straightforwardly, so Jiang Linzhi heard it easily, but Jiang Linzhi still didn't mean to explain to Pei Cheng, he just said casually: "I said, I know I'll sort things out."

"Second Lord, I don't need to care about some things, but I have to care about this matter." Pei Cheng propped up his upper body, straightened up reluctantly, and looked at Jiang Linzhi solemnly.

Jiang Linzhi never thought that Pei Cheng was such a stubborn person, but now Pei Cheng completely overturned his previous understanding of him.

Pei Cheng licked his dry lips, and continued: "What's more, Yan Zhi would have avoided this crime. If it wasn't for us, he..."

Jiang Linzhi looked at Pei Cheng without changing his face.

Pei Cheng couldn't continue, took a deep breath, "I can't just let it go."

After Pei Cheng was completely speechless, Jiang Linzhi said: "Last night, the Liu family sent a box of things to the East Courtyard, and I will let the servants carry them to you later."

Pei Cheng was a little annoyed, "What Liu Songwu did, can it be offset by a box of messy things from Liu's family?"

"Whether it offsets or not is up to me." Jiang Linzhi said indifferently.

Pei Cheng was suddenly speechless, he couldn't guess what Jiang Linzhi was going to do, so he could only test it again and again, in order to let Jiang Linzhi admit that he would not just give up pursuing Liu Matsutake did something wrong.

But now, Jiang Linzhi himself admits that he won't just let it go.

Pei Cheng felt relieved.

Jiang Linzhi stared at Pei Cheng's lips for a while, then stood up, walked to the round table, poured a glass of water, handed it to Pei Cheng, and said, "Just wait."

Pei Cheng took the water glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"Yeah." Pei Cheng said in a low voice, believing Jiang Linzhi.

Jiang Linzhi gestured to Pei Cheng with his eyes, and the latter understood, Pei Cheng said, "I'm still a little thirsty."

So Jiang Linzhi poured Pei Cheng another glass of water.

Pei Cheng felt sleepy, "Second Lord, it's getting late." The implication is that Jiang Linzhi can leave.

I don't know if there is really nothing to do, or if I didn't understand the meaning of Pei Cheng's words, Jiang Linzhi didn't mean to leave at all, but walked to the bookshelf on his own, picked up a book book, and then sat directly at the round table.

Pei Cheng was confused, laughed dryly twice, and said, "Second Lord, your yard..."

Before he finished speaking, he only heard Jiang Linzhi say: "Sleep, don't think too much."

Just this one sentence blocked all what Pei Cheng wanted to say. After hesitating for a while, Pei Cheng lay down helplessly, lifted the quilt up, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a while caught.

Jiang Linzhi looked in the direction of the bed quietly, then lowered his head and continued to read.

After Pei Cheng woke up again, the sky outside the window completely darkened, and candles were lit inside the house, and Jiang Linzhi was still sitting at the round table reading a book, but the book he was reading had been changed.

Jiang Linzhi said lightly: "Wake up."

Pei Cheng nodded in a daze, wondering why Jiang Linzhi is still there?

Jiang Linzhi walked to the side of the bed, possessed himself, and stroked Pei Cheng's forehead with his hand.

It may be due to long-term poor health, so Jiang Linzhi's body temperature is lower than ordinary people, and Pei Cheng, who is still in high fever, shivered involuntarily when Jiang Linzhi touched him.

Jiang Linzhi withdrew his hand quickly, and an imperceptible remorse flashed in his eyes, but his face was still indifferent, "It's not hot anymore, but I still need to drink medicine."

Pei Cheng huddled under the blanket and nodded weakly.

"There will be a Lantern Festival in a few days. When Madam is healthy, let's go out to watch the Lantern Festival together." Jiang Linzhi watched Pei Cheng's expression change secretly, and said, "Staying in the house for a long time is not good for your health. Go out and walk more."

Pei Cheng didn't speak, hesitant in his heart.

He has no longing for the Lantern Festival, but according to his understanding of Jiang Linzhi during this time, the other party does not seem to be someone who would propose to go out to watch the Lantern Festival for no reason.

In the end, the curiosity in my heart defeated Pei Cheng's worries, and Pei Cheng nodded in agreement, "Okay."

After getting the answer, Jiang Linzhi left directly.

Pei Cheng was a little confused, why did he leave suddenly.

After a while, after Jiang Linzhi left, Erxi came in with still hot food, and not long after, Sanxi also came in with freshly fried medicine.

Pei Cheng frowned, he didn't like the bitter smell of soup and medicine in the room, so he said, "Open the window to let the smell out." Er Xi agreed, and trotted all the way to open the window to let the smell out.

Xiyuan.

The old lady covered her lips and chuckled, "This person, he should not be too tight in his work. I thought that Pei Cheng was some kind of powerful character, but before Jiang Yanzhi had time to 'seek justice', he just fall sick."

Hu Xiayun echoed with a smile: "Second Uncle's health is not good, and Pei Cheng's body is also sick every day, let alone after the words know the water... This East Courtyard, the future life is really hard to say."

The old lady sneered, sneered mercilessly, and said, "God can't see it if you don't do things honestly. It's not that we can't spare the East Court now, it's that God won't spare the East Court."

Hu Xiayun's brows were full of joy, "Yes. But, mother, the Liu family will settle it like this? If Jiang Linzhi is messing around, your natal family..."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "I sent someone home last night, brother will understand what I mean."

Hu Xiayun's heart that had been hanging around finally relaxed.In fact, after leaving the front hall yesterday, she has been worried that if the Liu family is alienated from the Jiang family because of what Jiang Yan knew, it will have an impact on the Jiang family and Qi'er's future.

So when Hu Xiayun heard the old lady's determined tone, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with a face full of joy.

The old lady smiled and said: "That's right. After the Lantern Festival in a few days, you remember to take Qi'er to the Liu's house to lie down, and ask Song Wuniang to go out to see the lanterns. Don't let the relationship between the two families be ruined because of the things you said." gone."

"Hey." Hu Xiayun agreed. In fact, she also thought so in her heart. If it is really because of Jiang Yanzhi that she has alienated Song Wuniang, the loss outweighs the gain.

The old lady lowered her eyes and didn't continue to speak, and Hu Xiayun didn't dare to speak casually, and the room was quiet for a while.

study.

Uncle Jiang frowned and said, "Third brother, what do you mean?"

Third Master Jiang kept a cold face and didn't speak. After finishing his official duties last night, he just stayed in the yamen for the night because it was getting late, so he didn't know about the major events that happened at home yesterday.

But Jiang Sanye had just entered the mansion this morning, before he had time to go back to the house, he heard from the housekeeper that Jiang Yanzhi was pushed into the lake by Song Wu, and came to Uncle Jiang's study in Beiyuan without stopping.

Jiang Sanye said with a sullen face: "Could it be that big brother wants to cover up Songwu! No matter what you say, he is also a child of our Jiang family, and he can't be bullied by outsiders like this!"

Uncle Jiang was impatient: "Jiang Linzhi and Pei Cheng are both fathers, but you are the third uncle and you are yelling in front of me."

"Brother." Third Master Jiang frowned, displeased.

Uncle Jiang rubbed his forehead, suppressed his anger, and said, "Third son, Songwu is from the Liu family after all. We can't deal with it according to our Jiang family's rules. Do you understand what I mean? What's more, mother doesn't approve of us. Go directly to Liu's house to find trouble."

Jiang Sanye suppressed his anger, "But let's leave it like this? How can you make outsiders think of our Jiang family like this! You let Yan Zhi how to raise your head in the Jiang family in the future, big brother!"

Uncle Jiang was unmoved at all, he curled his mouth and said, "Third brother, you seem to pay too much attention to Jiang Yan now."

Jiang Sanye was startled, he frowned, and said displeasedly: "Brother, I don't understand what you mean."

"I still remember the first time you saw Pei Cheng who hadn't married into Jiang's family a few years ago." Uncle Jiang narrowed his eyes and looked up and down Third Master Jiang, as if he was confirming something, but he was not sure What.

Third Master Jiang stood up immediately, "Pei Cheng belongs to the second brother, how could I have that kind of thought about him, brother, your speculation is too childish!"

Uncle Jiang withdrew his scrutinizing eyes, and Third Master Jiang was angry. He couldn't be too unscrupulous in staring at the other party. Uncle Jiang said softly, "It's the elder brother who is being abrupt. But third, I can understand that you are not treating Pei. Cheng is interesting, but it doesn't mean others understand you."

Third Master Jiang laughed back angrily, "Brother, doesn't he just want me to distance myself from the East Courtyard in the future? Why do you have to speak so harshly?"

Uncle Jiang sneered: "If you hadn't come to me in a hurry after hearing the news of the accident in the East Hospital, I wouldn't have thought about it at all."

Jiang Sanye was expressionless: "Yanzhi just came back from the side courtyard. As his third uncle, I should take care of him more."

Uncle Jiang waved his hand, unwilling to continue talking to Third Master Jiang, and his face was a little embarrassed, "You don't have to tell me this kind of thing again. Third, I just remind you that there are some people you can't touch. Do you understand?"

Jiang Sanye said with a straight face, "Brother, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go back to the house first."

Uncle Jiang didn't expect Third Master Jiang to have a good face after hearing these words, and said, "Let's go. Go back and think about it."

Third Master Jiang flicked his sleeves and left without looking back.

Uncle Jiang sat behind the desk, staring at the back of Third Master Jiang, his brows were full of coldness.
