Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

The night breeze is gentle, mixed with the refreshing fragrance of flowers.

Jiang Yuzhu held a lantern and walked along the quiet gravel path.

In the courtyard ahead, through the Korean paper, the figure shaking in front of the window can be vaguely seen.

In the room, Xie Zhao was leaning on the desk, staring at the drawings with eyebrows raised, making changes from time to time. Even when he heard footsteps at the door, he did not raise his head.

The door was opened a small gap, and Jiang Yuzhu stood hesitantly by the door. From her perspective, she could not see Xie Zhao's face, but from the side, Xie Zhao frowned from time to time, as if he had encountered a problem, and his expression was extremely focused.

Liang An just came out of the tea room and saw Jiang Yuzhu coming with the maid. He quickly winked and said, "Madam, I have something important to report."

After finishing speaking, Liangan stared at the food box and almost saw a hole in it.

Some time ago, Liang'an had surrendered. He was loyal to Hong Jinbiao and was willing to be his wife's spy in the future.

For this reason, Liang'an received two wages and was proud of being a seller.

It's not that Liang'an is not loyal enough, he will naturally not disclose the major events in the DPRK and China that the master is involved in, but Liang'an knows everything about Jiang Yuzhu about the trivial matters in private.

Jiang Yuzhu's attitude was gentle: "Liang'an, it's time to eat lighter at night. I'll send you some side dishes. The kitchen cooks a lot, so Hongjin packed a portion for you."

When Liang An heard this, he immediately looked grateful and said: "Madam, I really benefited from this!"

Thinking of business, Liang An said seriously: "There used to be an aunt in the back office who was responsible for boiling water and cooking. The aunt's daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby. She went home to take care of the confinement child and was replaced by a maid."

"The maid has a pretty face and her eyes are moving around. You can tell she has an agenda."

Liang'an didn't seem to care, but in fact he kept a close eye on the maid. He noticed that she had washed herself, put on ointment, and ran to the study door to take off her clothes and recommend herself to the pillow mat.

"When I saw that scene, I had only one thought!"

The maid wants to seduce his master, but it's impossible when Liang'an is around!

As long as the master takes one look at the naked maid, his eyes will become dirty, and Liang An feels sorry for the two wages he received.

Jiang Yuzhu heard this with interest, and the curve of her lips gradually deepened: "What are your thoughts?"

Liang An pretended to be serious, pursed his lips and said, "Young man has reported to the official."

They were in the back house of the prefect, and there were officials on duty in the front yard.

The official acted quickly and took the maid away immediately. It took less than a quarter of an hour.

The more Liang An talked, the more excited he became. Now that his wife was here and the back house was handed over to her, he happened to take the side dishes to the official who was helping him to have a drink and return the favor.

Hong Jin burst into laughter and gave a thumbs up: "Liang'an, good job!"

The master belongs to the lady, so no one else can covet him, but he must be careful in the future!

If the master got dirty and ruined his reputation, his wife would definitely kick him without any hesitation.

In the study, Xie Zhao had raised his head countless times.

Just when he heard Jiang Yuzhu's footsteps, Xie Zhao suppressed the idea of ​​getting up to greet her and focused on the drawing.

He waited for Jiang Yuzhu to enter the study, but suddenly he turned a corner and was intercepted by Liang An.

Xie Zhao was confused. Is his wife going back home?

There was no sound of footsteps for a long time. Xie Zhao didn't care about pretending to be cold and walked out of the study with big steps.

Liang'an saw this and asked, "Sir, you drank two pots of tea this afternoon. Are you going to the toilet?"

Xie Zhao: "..."

Ignoring the troubled boy, Xie Zhao twitched the corners of his lips slightly and said slowly: "Madam, you are here."

Jiang Yuzhu lifted up her skirt and went up the steps, and said nonchalantly: "Master, you go to the toilet first. I won't leave, so I will wait in the study."

Xie Zhao was silent, he didn't want to go to the toilet.

After sending the maid away, Xie Zhao followed Jiang Yuzhu into the study and poured her a cup of tea.

Xie Zhao was careful and took the teacup he had used.

Jiang Yuzhu was completely unaware of this and was thinking about how to handle Shen Zhilan's marriage more securely.

Although I don’t know what this cousin has experienced in his previous life, he seems to be a miserable person.

Besides, Shen Zhilan is now thinking about her wholeheartedly, and Jiang Yuzhu, the cousin-in-law, has to reciprocate.

Holding the teacup in her hand, Jiang Yuzhu raised his eyes and said, "Master, are you back so soon?"

"Did not go."

Xie Zhao pulled up a chair and sat opposite Jiang Yuzhu.

In fact, in the evening, Xie Zhao quietly went back to his house to see his wife. Unfortunately, he was busy with official duties and had to go back to the Yamen to continue his errands.

"Oh."

Jiang Yuzhu prolonged his voice with a smile in his eyes.

I heard that some men would use the length of time they hold their urine to test whether they have kidney deficiency. Xie Zhao deliberately refused to go to the toilet in front of her. Could it be that Liang An exposed his hidden problem?

Faced with Xie Zhao's weak self-esteem, Jiang Yuzhu kindly did not expose it.

"Madam, can you come for your cousin's marriage?"

His wife showed a look that saw everything, and Xie Zhao moved uncomfortably. Could it be that he discovered that he secretly changed the tea cup?

Thinking of the small intimacy between husband and wife, Xie Zhao's eyes darkened.

Mentioning the purpose of the trip, Jiang Yuzhu expressed her worries without any distractions: "General Mo, by marrying cousin Shen, can indeed be the first to break the Queen Mother's marriage, but it will inevitably offend the Queen Mother."

In fact, the Jiang family has already done this once.

The Queen Mother insisted on marrying Wei Jing to her second brother Jiang Huaiqing, and it was Princess Yutan who stepped forward to rescue her.

When the original owner was not married, she was often brought into the palace, and Jiang Yuzhu still had some impressions.

The Queen Mother looks kind, but in fact her mind is unfathomable, and she has all the qualities of a harem woman, being calculating and ruthless.

"If my cousin marries me, the Queen Mother will definitely settle the score."

Jiang Yuzhu was not so optimistic, and it was not easy to tell her mother-in-law Shen directly. It would be useless and would make Shen angry.

After expressing her worries, Jiang Yuzhu's mouth was dry and she took a slight sip of tea.

The tea leaves float in the white porcelain, and the fragrance of tea overflows.

Xie Zhao stared intently, with an inexplicable splash of water blooming in his heart and flowing into his blood.

Jiang Yuzhu drank a cup of tea, and Xie Zhao was secretly happy.

"What Madam said is absolutely true, so we have to make two preparations. We must first remove Wei Jing from the position of Baihua Empress."

Wei Jing was not the Baihua Empress, so the Queen Mother could not find a reason to marry her for a while.

On the other hand, he expedited the process and urged Mo Qianyu and Shen Zhilan to get married as soon as possible.

"The Wei family messed up the marriage again, and the Queen Mother will only resent the Wei family first."

As for Empress Baihua, Xie Zhao has already thought of a replacement.

Jiang Yuzhu rubbed the tea cup and asked casually: "Who has the master chosen?"

Is there a woman who is familiar with Xie Zhao in this capital?

Jiang Yuzhu's face darkened, she was not happy at all. Even if her man only had a status, he had to abide by male ethics.

Xie Zhao hurriedly explained: "Madam, please listen to my husband."

After deliberately testing, Xie Zhao was a little happier, Jiang Yuzhu still cared about him.
