Chapter 138 You can cheat me. I like the way you cheat others.
When Ji Nanzheng returned, he instructed Jiangnan and Jiangbei to arrange people to tidy up the house.
He went to the palace and asked for leave from the emperor, and at the same time asked the emperor to grant him a door plaque written by the emperor himself.
After returning, he supervised the work personally.
The first thing to do was to have the workers knock open the previously filled-in parts, as well as the moon-shaped door on Wanzhou's side.
Because the shape was fixed before, after knocking out the bricks filled in later, it will be a complete door, and only needs some minor repairs.
Wan Zhou woke up from a nap and was walking in the garden when he suddenly heard a sound of someone hitting the wall. Qiu Ge was with him at the time, and both the master and servant were startled.
"Miss, someone is hitting the wall. Could it be a thief?" Brother Qiu shrank back in fear.
"It's a thief." After the initial moment passed, Wan Zhou had roughly guessed it.
"Let's go and take a look." Wan Zhou turned and walked towards the noise.
"Miss?" Qiu Ge realized it belatedly. After Wan Zhou left, she realized that the house next door was General Ji's.
I immediately trotted after him.
When Wan Zhou passed by, the doorway had been completely cleared and Ji Nanzheng happened to be at the entrance.
He was waiting there on purpose.
He knew that the noise in the garden would alarm the people in Wanzhou's mansion, and someone would naturally report to Wanzhou. He was betting that Wanzhou might come over in person to check it out.
Sure enough, Wan Zhou came.
He felt happy.
He really didn't dare to go to the front door and knock, for he was afraid of being driven away.
"Wan Zhou." Ji Nanzheng stepped across the moon-shaped door and stood in front of Wan Zhou.
Without waiting for Wan Zhou to speak, he said with a somewhat aggrieved look: "I ran away from home and have nowhere to go."
"I like the food cooked by Sanniang. I opened this door just to make it convenient for me to have a free meal." He immediately made up an excuse for himself.
Wan Zhou frowned.
Can Mrs. Wang let him move out?
Never mind, this isn't something she should be concerned about.
A man in his teens runs away from home?
childish.
"If the general has nothing to eat, he can go to the shelter. They may even prepare special meals for you."
"No, no, I'm not trying to eat for free. I can pay for the meal. I just really miss Sanniang's cooking skills." Ji Nanzheng said cautiously.
Wan Zhou sometimes really admired her ability to control her emotions. Ji Nanzheng broke the door without her permission, so she should be angry.
But what she was thinking was, what happens after she gets angry? What happens even if she lets him block the door?
She had already seen that it was difficult to get rid of Ji Nanzheng. Even if she let him block this door now, he would open other "doors".
I feel helpless and don't want to bother myself anymore.
“The food allowance is three hundred taels per month. Just send Jiangnan to pick it up.
When Ji Nanzheng heard this, he was happy, at least Wan Zhou didn't ask him to seal the door again.
But, asking Jiangnan to come and get it doesn’t mean not letting him come?
Forget it, leave it when it’s good.
"It's a word."
"Um, the letter I gave you..., you..." Ji Nanzheng asked hesitantly.
"Burned." Wan Zhou said these two words bluntly.
"You haven't read any of them?" Ji Nanzheng still didn't give up.
He wrote over ten days, a total of thirty-six letters.
"What do you say?"
Ji Nanzheng: "..."
I didn't read any of them.
Heartache.
"If you want to eat, remember to pay first." Wan Zhou reminded and turned back.
"Gu Wanzhou." Ji Nanzheng called her.
Since she didn't read the letter, he didn't need to tell her.
"Wanzhou, don't push me away. At least give me a chance, give you a chance, and give the children a chance. Let's give it a try..."
Ji Nanzheng took two steps to Wan Zhou and stared at her with burning eyes: "If, after we have tried, you still don't want to, I will respect you and not bother you again, okay?"
Unconsciously, the originally anxious voice became gentle and pleading at the end.
Wan Zhou didn't like this feeling. He raised his eyes, but before he could say no, Ji Nanzheng had understood through his eyes.
He immediately said, "I know you don't like the Duke's Mansion. We won't go back. We will go wherever you like. It's just you and me, and the child."
Wan Zhou was stunned.
She had considered it after she found out she was pregnant. If it was only Ji Nanzheng, she would be willing to consider it for the sake of the child.
But how could Ji Nanzheng be just Ji Nanzheng?
What Ji Nanzheng said was no different from dividing the family, so how could the Duke's wife agree to it?
Facing Ji Nanzheng's eyes full of persistence and affection, Wan Zhou frowned and said, "Ji Nanzheng, there is nothing to try."
Love is just spiritual food for an unmarried woman. Someone like her who has been born in two lives does not need spiritual food. She just wants to live a down-to-earth life.
"As for the children, let's talk about it later." She hasn't thought about it yet.
Seeing Wan Zhou frowning and looking troubled, Ji Nanzheng couldn't bear it and said, "I'll listen to you."
He couldn't bear to force her.
The ice was three feet thick, so he would slowly warm her up and slowly thaw her. She had already made concessions, so how could he force her?
"Gu Wanzhou, you looked so beautiful when you cheated people in Juxian Building today. Stop frowning. Go ahead and cheat me. I like the way you cheat people."
He really missed the time when Wan Zhou would make others unhappy when he was unhappy.
But now, the energy in her seemed to be gone.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever cheated anyone? Don't teach the child bad things." Wan Zhou said coldly.
My mother wrote in her diary that babies in the womb are spiritual and adults should not talk carelessly. She is paying attention to this all the time now.
Ji Nanzheng smiled unconsciously: "Well, even now, I like the way you cheat others and refuse to admit it."
"You still dare to say that!" Wan Zhou gave a warning look.
"Don't say it, don't say it." Somehow, as if something suddenly cleared the fog in his heart, he smiled indulgently: "Then I'll say something nice."
He bent down slightly, facing Wan Zhou's slightly bulging belly, and said in a teasing voice: "Little brat, I'm your father, can you hear me? Be good and obedient, don't be naughty, don't fight, and don't bother your mother."
"Ah!" Wan Zhou suddenly held her stomach and cried softly.
"What's wrong with you? Do you have a stomachache?" Seeing her holding her stomach and looking extremely nervous, Ji Nanzheng wanted to carry her back without even thinking.
"Don't move." Wan Zhou stepped back and waved his hand to prevent Ji Nanzheng from getting closer.
Ji Nanzheng didn't dare to act rashly, and his expression was extremely nervous. Fortunately, Wan Zhou didn't look painful, and he slowly let go of his worries.
"What's wrong?" He was still worried and confirmed.
"It's okay." Wan Zhou left without looking back.
Ji Nanzheng stopped, somewhat puzzled, and looked at Wan Zhou's leaving back. His eyes gradually became distant, until Wan Zhou's back disappeared. He turned around and walked through the moon cave door with loss.
"Miss, what happened just now?" Qiu Ge asked on the way back.
Wan Zhou shook his head.
It's really okay.
But just now, when Ji Nanzheng was speaking, her stomach suddenly moved.
She knew that the baby was moving, but it was only four months old, and her belly was almost invisible through her winter clothes. The movement was only brief, so she couldn't be sure.
Is this the connection between father and son?
"Miss, the Fifth Young Master's wife is outside the door..." Bai Lu came over before Wan Zhou returned to the yard.
Shi Xuanting?
Wan Zhou didn't know that the woman in pink at Juxian Tower today was Shi Xuanting's cousin, and couldn't guess why she came.
"If the young lady doesn't want to see you, I will go back."
Wan Zhou nodded.
It's definitely not a good thing for someone like Shi Xuanting to come here.
Bai Lu turned around and went out to reply: "Fifth Young Master's Madam, our young lady is not feeling well today, so she needs to rest."
"I'll just say a few words. It won't disturb her rest." Shi Xuanting's tone was unfriendly, and it was obvious that she was not here to visit, but to cause trouble.
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid beside her pushed Bai Lu away and she walked in with a swagger.
