Chapter 1240: Chapter 1242: Helpless Father_1 Chapter 1240: Chapter 1242: Helpless Father_1 I’ve completely embarrassed myself at ho!
Bai Ruozhu glared with rage, wishing she could grab him and give him a good thrashing, but after all, there were still so many of his subordinates around, she had to save so face for her husband.
“My dear wife, why has your face turned red?
You truly are more delicate than flowers.” Jiang Yichun chuckled, his smile carrying a hint of charm rarely seen on his usually serious face, along with his bewitching looks, it made Bai Ruozhu’s breathing hitch montarily.
Muyu, standing beside them, was laughing so hard that his stomach was cramping.
Chenfeng even gave him a kick, signaling for him to be more serious.
Bai Ruozhu felt her face grow hotter and glared at them, saying, “You all can leave now.
If you don’t want to rest properly, then stand guard every night for three days!”
The others shrank their necks.
The lady was truly on the verge of fury, so they’d better leave quickly to avoid being the innocent bystanders who got into trouble.
Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief, swept Jiang Yichun with a reproachful glance, and secretly pinched the soft flesh at his waist.
So many words you have when you’re drunk—on normal days, you’re not so slick and smooth-talking.
Where did that “more delicate than flowers” co from all of a sudden?
Who would have known that an inebriated Jiang Yichun would lose all his cool deanor and start wailing with his mouth wide open, “Ouch!
Are you trying to murder your own husband?”
Muyu and the others, who hadn’t gone far, stumbled and almost fell over—no wonder their master never drank much; the contrast was simply too great.
Bai Ruozhu, with a red face, forcefully dragged him into the house and then with a bang closed the door.
“You, you, you sure are sothing.
I pinch you a little, and you scream like you’re slaughtering a pig.
Aren’t you afraid of losing face?” Bai Ruozhu angrily pointed at his nose and scolded him.
But he just grinned at her, and suddenly lunged to bite the hand she was pointing at his nose with.
Bai Ruozhu got a fright and quickly dodged.
He then chased after her, giggling and trying to bite her like a child.
Bai Ruozhu found it both infuriating and funny.
She simply aid a kick at him, but he deftly dodged away and kept on giggling at her.
Unable to help herself, Bai Ruozhu burst into laughter as well.
Although she had been a bit angry just monts ago, it was the first ti she’d ever seen him act so comically.
It’s a pity there were no cell phones or caras in ancient tis, or she would have definitely captured this silly side of him and shared it on social dia with the caption: “Inside, my husband is really a clown!”
She laughed for a while, and Jiang Yichun joined in.
Then all of a sudden, he collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep, even starting to snore in a steady and loud rhythm.
Bai Ruozhu could only laugh as she wiped his hands and face for him, helped him out of his shoes, adjusted his position, and let him continue sleeping.
There were no further incidents that night, and the next morning, Jiang Yichun woke up rubbing his temples, frowning and saying, “I don’t seem to have drunk much last night; why does my head hurt so much?”
Bai Ruozhu had already ordered the hangover soup prepared, and seeing that he was awake, she had the maid from the ng Residence bring it over.
Then she looked at him and asked, “Do you rember what you did later last night?”
Jiang Yichun was stunned for a mont, apparently unable to recall, “Didn’t I just co back to sleep?
I’ve been so tired from traveling lately that as soon as I lay down, I fell asleep.”
“Oh?
Then you might want to ask Muyu later if that was the case.” Bai Ruozhu shook her head with a smile.
She had felt a little embarrassed last night, but this morning it didn’t bother her at all.
Being a modern person, such a trivial matter could only make her blush for a mont.
Was it really enough to sha her to death?
All of a sudden, Jiang Yichun’s face turned a bit strange, “Ask what?
Later, I still need to bid farewell to the ng Family.
Where would I find the ti for that?”
Bai Ruozhu quickly leaped at him, grabbing his ear and lifting it up, “You still have the face to talk back to ?
Last night in front of so many subordinates, you flirted with , saying that I was so smitten by you that I was drooling.
Don’t say you don’t rember any of that!”
“Wife, don’t pull.
If you make it into a dumbo ear, it won’t look good.
Although I was saying nonsense after drinking, I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?
Am I, your husband, not handso enough?” Jiang Yichun cheekily winked at Bai Ruozhu, his deanor indeed reminiscent of the charm he had exhibited the night before.
“You had enough charm last night to spare, you’re just a clown.
Drink less in the future.
Today it’s here, but if I weren’t around, who knows if you might go off flirting with so respectable woman after getting drunk?” Bai Ruozhu pouted unhappily; there were not a few cases of n getting rowdy after drinking.
Jiang Yichun pulled away the hand that was tugging at his ear, and said with a serious face, “It’s only when I see you that my heart flutters.
If you weren’t there last night, I definitely would’ve just gone to sleep.
Even if ten won ca by, I wouldn’t care.
Don’t you know how intimidating I usually am?”
Bai Ruozhu scoffed, “You’ve not been short of admirers.
When drunk, you’re totally different from how you usually are.”
Jiang Yichun was so choked up that he could hardly speak, so he could only hug her slender waist and say, “I promise to drink less from now on.
I only had a few extra drinks last night because I was toasting with your relatives.”
At that mont, a maid brought in Hangover Soup, and Bai Ruozhu temporarily let him off the hook.
After a hasty breakfast, Jiang Yichun continued his discussions with ng Liangshen, since the subsequent potential rescue operations required a lot of planning and deploynt.
As for Bai Ruozhu, she went out to visit Yu Hongxiu again, as she needed to say goodbye before leaving the ng Residence after lunch.
When Yu Hongxiu heard she was leaving so soon, she felt reluctant to part, but knowing Bai Ruozhu was bound by an Imperial Decree, she did not hold her back but promised to follow Bai Ruozhu’s instructions on taking her dicine and keeping up with the treatnts.
Bai Ruozhu, seeing her in stable spirits, also felt much relieved and reminded her, “Don’t listen to others saying Thirst-quenching Syndro is scary.
Yours is in the early stages, and I can treat you.
Don’t let it beco a psychological burden.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you,” Yu Hongxiu nodded vigorously.
When Bai Ruozhu returned to the ng Residence, she was greeted by ng Qiu and brought to ng Liangshen’s study.
Bai Ruozhu felt it odd, thinking that if ng Liangshen had matters to discuss, he could have just consulted with Achun.
She should spend more ti accompanying the elderly lady instead.
As soon as she entered the study, Bai Ruozhu saw Tu Lie, whose temples were touched with frost.
Tu Lie was just over forty, an age considered the pri of life for a man, supposedly at the point when a man is still blossoming.
However, having not seen him for more than half a year, Tu Lie seed to have aged five or six years all at once, with his originally jet-black hair now showing streaks of white at his temples.
Bai Ruozhu hurriedly greeted him with a bow, “Greetings, Lord Tu.”
Tu Lie, forgoing any formalities, directly asked, “Has Tu Ying written to you?
Do you know where she is now?”
Tu Lie’s current state lacked the air of a man who had galloped across battlefields; he was just a father, deeply concerned for his children and utterly helpless, which made Bai Ruozhu feel a pang of sorrow and even for a mont, resent Tu Ying’s willfulness.
“I only received one letter from her, which she said was sent before she left Beiyu City.
She told she had joined the military.
I was startled at the ti, but she hasn’t contacted since,” Bai Ruozhu didn’t dare to ntion that Tu Ying had gone to the main camp in the southwest.
She felt it necessary to tell Tu Lie, yet she also felt it would betray Tu Ying’s trust, and feared that Tu Lie, in a mont of impulse, might cause trouble.
Tu Lie’s face fell, and he said with evident pain, “It’s all my fault.
I am to bla for the hardships they’ve suffered, brother and sister alike!”
