Liu Dongzhi was standing there thinking about something when the guard Zhao Cheng suddenly passed by her.

Liu Dongzhi hurriedly called him over, frowning and complaining: "Guard Zhao, my cousin's foot injury has not healed yet, and it is very difficult for him to walk alone. Why don't you go forward and help him!"

Zhao Cheng said, "My cousin, the young master doesn't like to be disturbed, so we dare not go over there."

Liu Dongzhi frowned and asked, "Then why did you come to the other courtyard?"

The guards usually follow Jiang Yaonian everywhere, but most of the time they don't come to the villa and only take orders in the study. Today Zhao Cheng came here because there were guests visiting.

But looking at the young master and young lady in the pavilion from afar, he was troubled again, not knowing how to report the news.

After Liu Dongzhi found out the reason, she couldn't help but say in a very considerate voice: "Guard Zhao, since there are guests coming to see my cousin, we can't just let them wait! What if it's something important? How about this, I'll go over and let them know for you!"

Liu Dongzhi said that without waiting for his consent, she walked towards the pavilion openly...

When she was about to get closer, she found that her cousin was chatting and laughing very intimately with Qinghe. They looked just like a tyrant king and his seductive concubine having debauchery together. It was disgusting to watch!

The cousin looked at the little village girl with extremely gentle and compassionate eyes, and took the opportunity to kiss her cheek from time to time, which really made Liu Dongzhi unable to bear to watch!

She coughed deliberately, stepped heavily up the stairs, and called out as she walked, "Cousin! Cousin!"

After Qing He heard the noise, she quickly got off Jiang Yaonian's lap and sat down on the railing next to her seriously, looking a little embarrassed... Every time she and Jiang Yaonian were intimate, she would be bumped into by this cousin, which was really embarrassing...

Liu Dongzhi walked into the pavilion gracefully and said with a smile, "Oh, what a coincidence! I came to ask my cousin's wife for advice on embroidery, but I didn't expect that my cousin and his wife were here at the same time!"

Qing He called out shyly, "Cousin."

Liu Dongzhi smiled and said, "Hello, cousin!" Then she said to Jiang Yaonian, "Cousin, when I came here just now, I saw Guard Zhao outside and he said that there were guests coming to visit."

Qing He knew that Zhao Cheng had seen what happened just now, and she couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed...

Jiang Yaonian waved to Zhao Cheng in the distance, and Zhao Cheng came over, bowed to Jiang Yaonian and said, "My lord, Lord Meng is here to see you! He is waiting for you in Qingxinzhai now!"

When Jiang Yaonian heard that Meng Jifei had something important to tell him, he said to Qinghe, "A friend is looking for me. I'll be back soon. You go back and wait for me to have lunch together."

After saying that, he walked out of the pavilion. From his elegant and neat back, it was impossible to tell that his foot was injured! He was completely different from when he was walking with Qinghe just now...

Qinghe stared blankly for a while, and suddenly realized that she had been fooled again!

She had just been deceived for a long time and was so tired that she could hardly breathe. She gritted her teeth and helped him walk around the yard! It turned out that this guy was pretending. In fact, his foot injury had healed long ago. He just wanted to bully her and take advantage of her!

Liu Dongzhi looked at Qinghe's indignant expression and felt a little strange. She called out softly, "Cousin-in-law!"

Qing He then turned around. Liu Dongzhi looked at her and asked curiously, "What happened to my cousin's wife?"

Qing He hurriedly covered up the embarrassment and said, "It's okay, let's go back to the room. Didn't you say you had some questions about embroidery?"

Liu Dongzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a small question. I just want to ask how to prevent the embroidery from being uneven after it's finished?"

Qing He said, "After you finish embroidering, just brush a layer of starch on the back. It won't be uneven after it dries. Or you can starch the silk thread before embroidering."

"I understand, thank you, cousin!"

Liu Dongzhi left with a smile.

But she did not go back to the upper room. Instead, she came to the outside of Qingxinzhai and said to Zhao Cheng who was guarding the door: "Guard Zhao, the old lady asked me to ask my cousin a question. In addition, my cousin's wife wanted to ask if my cousin had any dishes he wanted to eat for lunch."

Zhao Cheng said with some embarrassment: "My cousin, the young master is talking to Lord Meng inside, outsiders are not allowed to go in and disturb them."

Liu Dongzhi hummed and nodded, saying, "Then I'll wait here." Then he walked to a stone bench not far away and sat down.

After about a meal's time, Jiang Yaonian finally came out with a handsome and cold-looking man.

After the two said goodbye, Jiang Yaonian turned around and saw Liu Dongzhi sitting there. He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What are you doing here?"

Liu Dongzhi stood up and said, "Cousin, my aunt asked me to come and see how your injury is."

"It's nothing serious."

"Oh, I'm relieved then."

The two walked out of the Moon Cave Gate side by side. Liu Dongzhi suddenly said casually, "When I went to the other courtyard just now, I saw Guard Zhao standing in the distance looking at my cousin and his wife with such a strange look in his eyes!"

Jiang Yaonian stopped, looked at her and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it!"

Jiang Yaonian ignored her and went straight back to the villa.

This distant cousin usually looks well-mannered, but I didn’t expect she loves gossiping so much!

Liu Dongzhi suddenly smiled as she watched Jiang Yaonian's receding back. She didn't expect that she had accidentally discovered a secret.

……

After the maids reported to Madam Jiang about the young master and the young mistress taking a loving walk in the yard, the old lady was very happy. This is right! It seems that I misunderstood before. Qinghe is still quite sensible!

The old maid came in and replied, "Madam, Concubine Rong sent someone from the palace to bring you something."

Madam Jiang asked calmly, "What is the gift?"

The maid came in holding the box and said, "The Concubine said she knew you liked to drink tea, so she specially sent some purple sparrow tongue tribute from other places and a thousand-year-old snow ginseng to nourish your body."

Old Madam Jiang thought to herself, she didn't know what was going on recently, but this concubine had sent people to deliver things twice. Last time, she sent the imperial physician to take her pulse and prescribe some tonics, and this time she directly sent tea and snow ginseng.

But the Jiang family is rich enough to rival a country, what does it have? Why is she so enthusiastic?

This left Mrs. Jiang completely puzzled.

……

After returning to Chuping Villa, Jiang Yaonian asked, "Are you interested in a banquet recently?"

Qing He was stunned. "Is it necessary to participate?"

Jiang Yaonian said with a warm smile on his face, "It's a banquet hosted by the Duke of Zhenguo. The invitation clearly states that Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang are invited to attend."

Qing He thought for a moment and said, "Then go, otherwise I won't have a chance to wear the jewelry you bought for me!"

Jiang Yaonian laughed after hearing this and said nonchalantly: "You can wear it at home too."

Qing He shook her head. "Such valuable jewelry must be shown off. How can I just wear it at home?" She smiled and said, "I want to give you a gift too."

Jiang Yaonian was a little surprised and asked, "What is it?"

Qing He smiled and said, "Guess?"
