Chapter 281 Intoxication and Disillusionment
The lights are on and the night is dark.
As the wheels rolled, the carriage made of top-quality elm wood swayed slightly in the night. The amplitude was not large, but fine and even, a bit like the process of 'decanting' red wine.
As a result, Jia Yingchun, who was leaning against the innermost part of the carriage, was really a little drunk.
But with her cheeks flushed and her eyes half-opened and half-closed, she had no idea whether it was the glasses of wine at the dinner or the satisfaction brought by the praises from everyone throughout the day that made her so intoxicated.
Or perhaps the latter is a bigger component.
After all, she had drunk that wine several times before, but it had never become the focus of everyone's attention like today.
This intoxicating feeling...
How great would it be if it could continue forever?
Thinking of this, she quietly stroked her belly. Whether she could achieve her wish or not depended entirely on whether her belly could hold up well.
That should be possible, right?
After all, the 'immortal' said that she was destined to have both a son and a daughter, otherwise the master would not have gone to such great lengths to marry her.
Thinking of this, the blush on her face deepened.
“A-choo~!”
At this moment, a loud sneeze was heard outside the carriage, which startled the three people in the carriage. Siqi lifted the curtain and saw Sun Shaozong rubbing his nose angrily on the tall horse in front of him.
"It's Second Master."
Siqi turned around and whispered, "It looks like he has caught a cold."
The Second Master has caught a cold?
After hearing this, Jia Yingchun immediately remembered that everything she had experienced today was actually due to Sun Shaozong's thoughtfulness and carefulness.
If he hadn't seen his dilemma and quietly prepared so many things, what would have been waiting for him in Rongguo Mansion today would have been nothing but blame and embarrassment!
Thinking of this, she felt an urge to open the curtain and say "thank you" to Sun Shaozong.
only……
This thought turned over Jia Yingchun's mind thousands of times, but she never had the courage to put it into practice.
Not to mention how Jia Yingchun was feeling.
However, Sun Shaozong sneezed several times along the way, and he knew that he had accidentally caught a cold while "responding to the call and working hard" in the villa.
There was no way. The dragon bed in the Grand View Garden was extremely exquisitely carved, but there was not even a bedding on it. It was spacious and airy all around. Although it was called a battle in the house, it was actually not much different from fighting in the wild.
It just so happens that the temperature has been low these two days...
But this is not completely without benefits. At least after catching a cold, I can sleep in the study room with a clear conscience without worrying about the marks on my body revealing anything.
“A-choo!”
Just as he was comforting himself with the spirit of Ah Q, he saw that they had arrived at his doorstep. Sun Shaozong sneezed loudly again, and he hurried a few steps, shouted to open the side door, and led four carriages in one after another.
After the four carriages stopped one by one, Sun Shaozong helped Ruan Rong get off the carriage first, and then called out from a distance: "Sister-in-law, if there is nothing else, we will go back first."
When Jia Yingchun heard him talking to her, she immediately became flustered again. She stammered a few words, but could only watch Sun Shaozong walk further and further away until he disappeared around the corner.
"Madam, let's go back to the backyard!"
Just as she was feeling a little disappointed and regretful, she heard Siqi anxiously say, "I heard that the master is alone in the backyard and has been waiting for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Jia Yingchun naturally no longer cared about anything else and hurriedly took Siqi and Xiu Ju back to the backyard.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the main room was brightly lit. Opposite the door was placed Zhang Taishi's chair, and Sun Shaozu was sitting on it with a gloomy face. His eyes were like copper bells and his beard was like steel needles!
It was obvious that the intention was not good. Jia Yingchun felt her heart tremble, and the intoxicated feeling she had just had disappeared instantly. If Siqi and Xiu Ju had not supported her in time, she might not have been able to reach the door of the main hall.
“Kneel down!”
Just after they stepped over the threshold, before the master and his two servants could come forward to greet each other, they heard Sun Shaozu roar. The tone was not loud, but it revealed a murderous aura that made the three people's hearts tremble.
Xiu Ju was still hesitating , but saw Si Qi was the first to kneel down - she was not afraid, but she was determined to serve Sun Shaozu as her master, so naturally she would not disobey his orders.
Jia Yingchun was indecisive and timid. When she saw Siqi kneeling obediently, she also prostrated herself at Sun Shaozu's feet.
Xiu Ju was helpless when she saw this. She knelt down as well, but couldn't help asking, "Master, what mistake did the Madam make? You want to..."
Before she could finish, Sun Shaozu stood up and kicked Xiuju backwards. Then he looked down at Jia Yingchun and asked her word by word, "Let me ask you, did you follow the recipe when you were at your mother's house this afternoon?"
Jia Yingchun was already frightened to death, and when she heard this, all the color disappeared from her cheeks.
Xiu Ju who was standing by was even more dumbfounded. She had originally thought that if the master was unhappy with his mistress returning home early, he would use the Second Master as a shield. After all, everyone in the mansion knew that the Second Master had the most face.
Who would have thought that what Sun Shaozu asked about was not returning home early, but the 'secret recipe for having a child'!
That set of weird postures made Jia Yingchun shy even in private, so how could she have the nerve to do it in front of the sisters and maids in Rongguo Mansion? !
"explain!"
Seeing that Jia Yingchun was only trembling and didn't say a word, Sun Shaozu bared his two rows of "fangs" and asked again: "Did you follow the recipe when you were at your mother's house this afternoon?"
“I…I…”
Jia Yingchun stammered twice in panic, but before she could say anything, tears welled up in her eyes.
"master!"
At this time, Siqi knocked her head to the ground and said loudly: "This is not the Madam's fault, it is because I did not supervise strictly enough, this is..."
Boom~!
Without waiting for Siqi to finish her words, Sun Shaozu kicked the armchair, which flew back like a cannonball and crashed into the coffee table in the corner, smashing into pieces.
This scene really scared Xiu Ju half to death. If he had used such great strength when he kicked her down just now...
No!
If I had used half of my strength, I would have died!
"Not strict supervision?!"
Sun Shaozu frowned and gnashed his teeth as he said, "You think it's okay if I don't supervise you strictly?!"
Jia Yingchun and Xiu Ju had already collapsed to the ground, but Si Qi still said respectfully: "I promise this will only happen this time, and it will never happen again..."
“Pah~!”
Before she could finish, Sun Shaozu spat all over her face, clenched his two vinegar-jar-sized fists, and said angrily, "This recipe requires you to use it all at once. If you stop in the middle, it will no longer work!"
"Didn't I tell you over and over again to keep an eye on your wife and make sure she follows this prescription every day? Is this how keep an eye on her?!"
As he said this, he raised his leg towards Siqi and was about to do the same thing. However, seeing that Siqi did not dodge but instead stood up to meet him, Sun Shaozu felt reluctant and finally stamped his foot heavily, cursing, "If this money goes down the drain, I will definitely not forgive you!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already thrown up his sleeves and walked out of the hall, cursing, "I don't know if the immortal has any way to remedy this!"
It was a long time after he left that Siqi silently helped Jia Yingchun up, and then reached out to unbutton her collar.
Yingchun sobbed and asked, "What...what is this for?"
"Of course, it's to practice the secret recipe for having a child."
Siqi said with a straight face: "If the immortal had thought of a way to remedy the situation once, but we missed it twice..."
Yingchun shuddered and hurriedly reached out to unbutton her clothes.
Soon after, a familiar scolding voice was heard from the hall again: "Spread your legs further. If you can't do this position well today, how are you going to explain to the master?"
"Imitate the way Second Master rode a horse today..."
"Yes, that's it..."
"chest……"
