Chapter 25: Grounding
I stood nervously by the door, my fists clenched, my palms sweating, afraid that "I won't kill Beren, but Beren will die because of me" will happen to me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info This irascible man seems to especially hate being cheated on by others.
After a long time, Jiang Kuo waved away the guards behind him.
"How's it going?" Jiang Kuo gestured in my direction.
"Madame slept. Song Kai replied respectfully.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Kuo took two steps forward and looked condescendingly at this person who was standing with his head bowed.
Silence, for a long time. My heart rose to my throat again.
"Why?" was an uncontrollable chill in his voice.
"I don't want the young master to do something that will make me regret it. ā
"Smack!" Jiang Kuo gave him a slap with his backhand, "You don't tell the truth." ā
I was shocked.
Before I could react, he suddenly turned around and walked this way, not giving Song Kai a chance to explain at all, and obviously Song Kai didn't seem to want to explain either.
I watched him get closer and closer to me, and I couldn't help but get scared, and I flashed to the door, waiting for him to approach.
He pushed the door, but it didn't open, and I tied it shut.
He didn't look surprised, didn't want to come in, turned and walked away, as if only to make sure the door was closed.
I patted my chest and went back to the door to see what was going on outside.
Jiang Kuo walked straight towards the gate of the courtyard, and stopped when he passed Song Kai.
"We've known each other for so many years, and I know your mind. ā
Song Kai didn't speak.
Jiang Kuo stood with his hands in his hands, his back on his back, and took a deep breath, "I want to expand the Jiang family's industry in the north, and Uncle Li will go to Beijing tomorrow." You and him, go together. ā
Jiang Kuo's eyes didn't look at people when he spoke, and he didn't listen to the answer after speaking, so he walked forward.
"Yes, young master. Song Kai said, bowing to the distant back, his voice was slightly moved, "Young master...... Take care!"
I was full of guilt and wanted to go out to comfort him, but I didn't want him to raise my hand and wipe my eyes, this man ...... He pretended to look in my direction, smiled, then turned and strode away, his back lonely and resolute.
The years do not stop flowing because of anyone's mood or opportunity. At this moment, I was awakened by the sound of chirping birds after a few hours of sleep.
The dawn light slanted in through the window, reminding me of the arrival of a new day.
I stared, hugged the quilt and sat up spontaneously for a while.
There seemed to be someone talking in the courtyard.
I got up, grabbed a white robe from the clothes I was wearing and draped it over my shoulders, and walked to the window.
The sun was shining down from the sky, shining on every grass and tree in the yard, and Yue'er and the two little maids who had just been assigned to me by the old lady were picking dew in the yard. By the way, chatting about something.
"Yue'er, Madame is grounded, right?"
"Yes, the young master said that he wanted his wife not to go out for a few days, and to find the guard at the door if he needed anything. Yue'er replied.
"But the young master is obviously very good to Madame, and Madame didn't come back yesterday, and he was so anxious that he lost his temper, which frightened me. ā
"Yes, yes, I've never seen the young master get angry in such a hurry, the young master must be very nervous about our master. ā
"But, Sister Yue'er, the young master likes our master so much, why did he let her ground?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm worried about the master, you didn't see the young master's eyes just now when he looked at his wife, he was so gentle. ā
"Yes, yes, I also explained a lot to me and Xiaoqiu, saying that our master is weak and ......"
"Yes, yes," Xiao Qiu on the side hurriedly said, "This can't be eaten and that can't be eaten, a lot of it, why didn't I find out that the young master was a doctor before?"
A few little girls laughed happily.
"However, you can't tell the old lady what happened yesterday, or our master will be punished, and we will be indispensable. Yue'er said seriously.
"Got it, Sister Hua'er, oh no, Sister Yue'er, the young master told us. ā
ā¦ā¦
I looked at the bright sunlight outside, and I felt that I lost color for a moment.
A wave of resentment in his chest. Why did he pretend to be so much like and deceive everyone closest to me?
What is the ban?
I quickly got dressed, opened the door and walked towards the door, I wanted to see if he had actually sent someone to the door.
The little maid behind me was shocked when she saw me coming out, and hurriedly caught up.
"Madame, why are you awake? I thought you would sleep a little longer. ā
"Madame, ma'am!"
Seeing that I didn't speak, Yue'er hurriedly ran up and spread her hands in front of me: "Madam, the young master has been here, he said, he said that you should not go out in the next two days." ā
I smiled softly and walked around her.
"Madam, there are guards at the door!" Yue'er reminded loudly.
I kept walking. Until the door, two fierce men suddenly appeared in front of me, blocking my way.
"Madam, the young master asked Madame to have a good rest, and leave anything to his subordinates to do. ā
The two of them spoke respectfully, but their faces were expressionless.
I looked at their sturdy figures, staring at the matching swords that crossed in front of me, and I was a little stunned for a moment.
"Two big brothers, take the knife, take the knife! Don't frighten our lady," a few little maids hurriedly caught up with me and blocked in front of me. "You frightened Madame, who can bear it, don't you know what your young master's attitude towards Madame is?"
The two guards took their knives with some hesitation: "I'm sorry, madam." The young master ordered us to stay here, and asked the lady to go back and recuperate. ā
I came back to my senses and smiled at the two of them, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass the two of you, I just didn't remember it for a while, please don't be surprised." I can't thank you enough for the two of you to be here to guard us. Xiao Xia, do you have ready-made snacks in the kitchen?"
"Yes, I just made it, ma'am. ā
"Well, okay, let's go and bring some to the two brothers. ā
The two guards looked at each other with some surprise, and said in unison, "The subordinates don't dare." ā
"Why don't you dare, the two of you work day and night, and the safety of the Jiang family is pinned on you, and now you are here to guard," I smiled and said kindly, "I should treat you well for the young master, please don't shirk again." I turned around and took the snack from Xiao Xia's hand and handed it forward.
The two hesitated, and a few little girls happily encouraged them in the back: "It's nothing, our lady is fine, you can eat!"
The two looked at each other, no longer hesitated, said thank you, and took it.
"Rain!"
I heard someone call me, and I looked up, "Dad, mother." ā
"What is this doing?" my mother watched as a group of us gathered around and strode up.
"Mother, Jiang Kuo arranged two guards at the gate of the small courtyard, and I let them have some snacks when I saw that they hadn't eaten breakfast. ā
"Well, that's right," the mother said happily, "you are a family now, you are a scholar, you don't need me to say more, treat your aunt gently, be filial to your in-laws, and be generous to your subordinates." ā
"Well, all right, Daddy, let's go in and talk," I said busily when I saw that the two guards had no intention of stopping me.
