The Male Wife

Jiang Linzhi's expression was indifferent, Pei Cheng saw that the man was unwilling to go out with Uncle Jiang, but for some reason he didn't immediately refuse, saying: "Yes."

Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Linzhi reflexively, but could only see the latter's indifferent side face.

Jiang Yanzhi walked with his head down, but after a few steps, Jiang Linzhi forcibly lifted his head up with his hands.

"You must always remember that your surname is Jiang."

Jiang Linzhi didn't say much to Jiang Yanzhi, who was only four years old, and only left a sentence of unclear meaning.

Pei Cheng didn't know why and followed Jiang Linzhi. He knew that the original plan that only the three of them would go out to the Lantern Festival had become a group of people going out.Pei Cheng didn't understand Jiang Linzhi's decision, but out of need for trust, he still chose to trust Jiang Linzhi unconditionally.

Jiang Yanzhi walked stiffly with his head up. He had been used to walking with his head down all these years, trying his best to minimize his sense of existence, but now he was forced to change his habit for several years.

But even so, the little guy didn't rise to resist. He knew very well that he had no right to speak in front of Jiang Linzhi.

After walking a few steps, Jiang Yanzhi cautiously raised his head and took a peek at Pei Cheng.He wanted to hold Daddy again.

But Sanxi told him that if he always clings to Pei Cheng's words, he will be thrown back to the side house alone, so Jiang Yanzhi can only control himself.

There were two carriages parked at the gate of the Jiang family mansion. Uncle Jiang was standing outside the carriage talking to the store manager in a low voice. When Pei Cheng walked over, he happened to see Hu Xiayun poking his head out of the carriage.

Hu Xiayun glanced at Pei Cheng maliciously, and put down the curtains with a look of disgust.

The corner of Pei Cheng's mouth curled into an inconspicuous curve. If Hu Xiayun doesn't like him, it's possible that he would like Hu Xiayun too. It's a joke, and I don't know what the hell this woman is pretending.

After Uncle Jiang finished giving his orders, the manager of the shop immediately turned around and left without seeing the three of Jiang Linzhi who were not far behind him.

It's just that I don't know if the store manager really didn't see it or faked it.

Uncle Jiang walked in front of Jiang Linzhi, "The third child is still busy in the yamen, don't wait for him, let's go to Lianting first, don't miss a good time."

The weather was cold, and the streets during the Lantern Festival were usually very lively, so Uncle Jiang didn't ride a horse, but chose to sit in a carriage.

In two carriages, Uncle Jiang took his wife and children, and Second Master Jiang took his husband, wife and son.

Jiang Linzhi nodded lightly, as if he didn't care about Jiang Sanye's whereabouts.

Uncle Jiang smiled slightly, greeted Pei Cheng, and then stretched out his hand, trying to touch Jiang Yanzhi's head, but before his hand touched Jiang Yanzhi's head, the little guy avoided him.

Uncle Jiang's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and he didn't feel embarrassed. He withdrew his hand as usual and said, "Let's go, it's getting late."

Not angry?Pei Cheng secretly observed Uncle Jiang.

Jiang Linzhi ignored the episode, and walked towards another empty carriage first, stepping on a stool.

Pei Cheng took Jiang Yanzhi's hand and walked over, thinking about something, his eyes always involuntarily glanced at Jiang Linzhi, he always felt that Jiang Linzhi was planning something.

As soon as night fell, the Liantang River in Hwaseong was immediately filled with small and large street vendors. There were small vendors selling lanterns made two days ago, and a family of three with their wives and children out to watch the lanterns. , There are rich young masters and ladies who go out with their servants... The Liantang River is very lively tonight.

The Jiang family's carriage stopped almost when it reached the Liantang River. The annual Lantern Festival is a big day for Hwaseong people, so tonight's Liantang streets will be full of people—crowded everywhere, not at all. Suitable for traveling with a horse-drawn carriage.

Uncle Jiang walked slowly at the front, and Hu Xiayun pulled the six-year-old Qier to the back, muttering something in a low voice, and Qiuyi followed behind Hu Xiayun cautiously.

Jiang Linzhi got out of the carriage first, pursing his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.

Men don't talk much in the first place, so Pei Cheng didn't think it was strange, he just got out of the car, but when he got off, his legs softened, he didn't step on the small stool, and he fell to the side as if hanging in the air.

Jiang Linzhi stretched out his hand quickly.

Sanxi covered her mouth and yelled, he was standing far away, so he didn't help Pei Cheng immediately.

Sanxi's cry attracted Uncle Jiang who was walking in front. Uncle Jiang turned his head and took a look, just in time to see the scene of Jiang Linzhi hugging Pei Cheng, his eyes darkened, and he continued walking without saying anything.

Hu Xiayun clicked his tongue.

Pei Cheng's mind wandered for a while, and he came back to his senses after a long while. He hurriedly escaped from Jiang Linzhi's not-so-warm embrace, and thanked him in a low voice: "Thank you, Second Lord."

Jiang Linzhi stopped, and there was no superfluous expression on Sen Leng's face, but he didn't know if Pei Cheng had read it wrong, he always felt that Jiang Linzhi's face had just flashed... regret.

Jiang Yanzhi trotted over nervously, wondering if it was because he was frightened, he was not as indifferent as before, and he even took the initiative to hold Pei Cheng's hand.

Pei Cheng's attention was instantly attracted by Jiang Yanzhi, and he didn't try to see anything from Jiang Linzhi's face.

But Jiang Linzhi was able to pull him at the first moment when he was about to fall, which made Pei Cheng feel a little turmoil in his heart.

One by one, didn't it mean that Jiang Linzhi was ill in bed all year round and his bones were not good?How did that man realize that he was about to fall for the first time just now, and supported himself with one hand?

Pei Cheng vaguely understood something.

Passing through the lively crowd, all the members of the Jiang family walked towards the center of the Lotus Pavilion, where the upper-class families of Hwaseong gathered.

Before Pei Cheng reached the center of the lotus pavilion, he heard the conversation between Hu Xiayun and Song Wuniang. The two women seemed to have forgotten the blushing because of the incident a few days ago, and now they were leaning on each other affectionately. Let's discuss the most fashionable dress styles at the moment.

The corners of Pei Cheng's mouth twitched. He didn't know if the two women really forgot what happened a few days ago, or because of the unspoken rules that the two families had to make friends with each other, so they showed this in front of everyone now. The scene of the best sisters.

Jiang Linzhi was not familiar with the people in front of him who had big and small identities in Huacheng, so as soon as he entered the lotus pavilion, he walked directly towards the corner, without any intention of getting close to the center of the crowd.

Pei Cheng led Jiang Yanzhi and walked over, halfway there, his footsteps stopped.

Not far away, a little boy about six years old was staring at them. His eyes were full of indifference, and he could vaguely see a little disgust.

Pei Cheng looked at the little boy with a half-smile, not seeing him for a few days, this Liu Songwu seemed to be even more annoying.

Liu Songwu's face darkened, this shameless Jiang family man and wife dared to stare at him all the time, she was really impatient.

It's just that no matter how unhappy he was, Liu Songwu didn't "speak disrespectfully" to Pei Cheng in front of everyone, probably because of the Liu family's face.

Pei Cheng walked to Jiang Linzhi's side in a not-so-happy mood, and sat down.

Jiang Yanzhi sat on the side obediently. When the two adults couldn't see him, he suddenly turned his head and glanced coldly in the direction of Liu Songwu.

Liu Songwu's arrogant eyes closed for a moment, and he was stunned in place. When he recovered, he found that his hands and feet had become extremely cold. This was because he was frightened by Jiang Yanzhi just now.

But when Liu Songwu looked in Jiang Yanzhi's direction again, in order to make sure of something, but after he looked at it for a long time, he found that Jiang Yanzhi was still as harmless as before, and there was nothing unusual.

Liu Songwu touched his palm, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that I misread it?"

Coincidentally, Qi'er came over, and according to Hu Xiayun's instructions when he was at home, he took Liu Songwu's hand affectionately and said, "Cousin, let's go over there and play."

Liu Songwu smiled happily, happily following Qi'er to the side to play.

Jiang Linzhi, who had been watching the night scene outside the pavilion, raised his head and glanced at a dark place outside the pavilion.

A person walked out of a dark place outside the lotus pavilion. The person was wearing light brown servant clothes and looked inconspicuous. He met Jiang Linzhi's eyes, and the two seemed to be silently talking about something with their eyes.Finally, the man lowered his head and quickly walked towards the lotus pavilion.

Pei Cheng poked his head over, he thought Jiang Linzhi was looking at something.

Jiang Linzhi leaned back unobtrusively, blocking Pei Cheng's sight, and said, "What's the matter?"

Pei Cheng knew that the man did it on purpose, and he said, "Second Master, there seems to be no change in the Lantern Festival tonight." He was reminding Jiang Linzhi.

Jiang Linzhi couldn't hear the hint in Pei Cheng's words, and said: "Stay a little longer, until the things here are over."

Is it over here?

What do you mean?

However, before Pei Cheng could figure out why, something happened to the two six-year-old boys who had just ran aside to play.

In the center of the lively lotus pavilion, suddenly there was the sound of a "plop" heavy object falling into the water, followed by Qi'er's cry for help.

"Song Wu fell into the water, mother, mother, Song Wu fell into the water, mother!"

Song Wuniang was still chatting and laughing with Hu Xiayun one moment, and the next second when she heard Qi'er crying for help, she immediately left Hu Xiayun and ran towards the direction of the call for help with a panicked expression.

Hu Xiayun's heart sank, knowing that something had happened, she ran over quickly.

By the time the two women arrived, Liu Songwu had already been fished out of the icy Liantang River. Although he still had a life hanging on his face, his face was purple and his life was hanging by a thread.

Song Wuniang let out an "ow", she fainted from fright without even calling out her son's name.

The person in charge hurried over with the doctors, in order to avoid accidents, every time Lianting gathered rich and noble families in Hwaseong, he would call one or two doctors to guard them.

But in the past years, the doctors who were called here to guard almost never had anything to do, and Lianting had never fallen into the water.It seems that this year is going to change.

Qi'er, who was only six years old, ran over crying, "Mother, I didn't push Songwu, it wasn't me, it was Songwu who fell into the lake by himself, mother, it really wasn't me!"

The expressions of the crowd watching on the side became unpredictable, Jiang Qi'er's words, to them, that is... the one who pushed Liu Songwu into the lake, and nine times out of ten, it was Jiang Qi'er.

Hu Xiayun's legs went limp.

At this time, Song Wuniang, who had already woken up, just heard Qi'er's words of "trying to cover up", she was furious, rushed over regardless of her image, stretched out her hands, and grabbed Qi'er's neck fiercely, angrily Said: "You pay my son's life!"

Hu Xiayun was still thinking about it, and immediately rushed over, with a ferocious expression, trying to snatch her son back from Song Wuniang's hands.

The scene was in chaos.
