The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 105 Hot
Meng Tingzhou saw her shrink back and her shoes had fallen off at some point, revealing her fair and delicate feet.

Her hair was slightly disheveled when she struggled to break free just now, which made her pair of dark eyes even more fascinating.

Maybe it was because the firewood in the tent was too hot, but Meng Tingzhou suddenly felt a little hot.

He tugged at his collar and followed closely: "Are you afraid of me? Weren't you very humble just now? I gave you a chance to refuse, but did you not understand or did you deliberately rush forward?"

Jiang Shiwan didn't want to give him a chance to get close, so she continued to retreat: "The old lady wants me to come and serve you, how can I refuse?"

Meng Tingzhou half-knelt and looked at her: "As long as you want, there is always a way to refuse, right?"

"Jiang Shiwan, it's not that you can't refuse, but you refuse to tell me what your ultimate purpose is in getting close to me." His eyes followed her face all the way down, and the loosened neckline revealed a hint of charm.

Meng Tingzhou rolled his Adam's apple and said, "I even doubt whether you have any intention in staying by your mother's side to serve her."

Jiang Shiwan looked at him and said, "In the eyes of the governor, am I so unbearable?"

"What do you think?" Meng Tingzhou grabbed her bare feet and smiled playfully, "After all, you can sacrifice your innocence to achieve your goal, and you want to profit from your son."

Seeing that Jiang Shiwan said nothing, Meng Tingzhou frowned and said, "Forget it, I really don't want to argue with you about these trivial matters anymore."

Jiang Shiwan thought she could get away, and asked timidly, "Can I leave now?"

"Go? Where to?" Meng Tingzhou's hand groped along her ankle all the way up. When it reached the base of her thigh, Jiang Shiwan's expression was obviously unnatural.

"Commander-in-chief, it's getting late. I should go back now."

Meng Tingzhou's hands gradually explored deeper. Seeing Jiang Shiwan couldn't help but close her eyes, he chuckled and said, "I've been traveling all this time, and there aren't any other women around me who can get close to me. I have to trouble you."

After saying that, he pressed her down and took off her clothes.

"No... Governor... I haven't bathed yet..."

"Oh?" Meng Tingzhou stopped and looked at her with a dazed look in his eyes. "Do you want to try something new today?"

He then ordered someone to bring a bathtub.

Jiang Shiwan was both ashamed and angry. He wanted to get up but couldn't move because he had nothing.

The maids coming in and out prepared everything. Occasionally, two of them were brave enough to see the governor pressing a woman completely under him in an ambiguous posture, and they immediately lowered their heads in shame and hurried away.

After everyone had left, Meng Tingzhou picked the man up and put him in the bathtub.

Seeing him unbuttoning his shirt, Jiang Shiwan couldn't wait to get up: "You're crazy..."

Meng Tingzhou pressed her into the water and said, "Yes, I am crazy. Are you satisfied?"

He let Jiang Shiwan go only after he asked for water three times.

Jiang Shiwan dragged his exhausted body back to his residence, and naturally met with Chen Ma's sneer: "You little bitch, you always make mistakes when serving the old lady, but you are quite good at serving men."

Jiang Shiwan really didn't want to listen to her noise anymore, so he glared at her coldly: "Madam Chen, the governor said that he doesn't want to see you and me fighting on the way to the northern border. If we don't, we will be severely punished."

She stared at Nanny Chen meaningfully: "You should remember what happened to Nanny Fang, right?"

When she heard the three words "Madame Fang", Madame Chen was shocked.

Nanny Fang was once the old lady's favorite nanny. Because she dealt with Jiang Shiwan in the Governor's Mansion, she was beaten to death by the Governor's men and her end was miserable.

When Nanny Chen saw Jiang Shiwan bringing up that incident, she asked, "Are you blackmailing me?"

"I don't know whether it's a threat or not, but you should know the governor's temper." Jiang Shiwan went to fetch water and wash up. "Mammy, please settle down early. We have to travel again tomorrow. The old lady can't be without you and me." Looking at this woman doing things freely, Mammy Chen suddenly felt a little scared.

This woman was too calm. She didn't even say anything harsh or use any tricks, but she had already made the governor almost stand on her side.

Old lady...do you really want to continue dealing with her?

The next morning, Jiang Shiwan and Nanny Chen helped Madam Meng wash up.

After the foot-washing incident yesterday, Madam Meng became more and more displeased with her, but she also knew that she couldn't drive her away for the time being, so she had to control her temper.

"Aunt." Meng Shuyi's voice came from outside the tent, and then a maid lifted the curtain and walked in.

Seeing Jiang Shiwan serving food to Old Madam Meng, Meng Shuyi's expression looked a little strange.

Was this the first time the two met after Jiang Shiwan was stripped of her status as the governor's wife?

Feeling Meng Shuyi's gaze, Jiang Shiwan bowed slightly and said, "This servant greets Miss Cousin."

"Cousin..." Meng Shuyi almost cried out involuntarily, but the nanny beside him pulled on his clothes and he realized that he had said something wrong. He forced a smile and said, "You have adapted well."

"I am fine, thank you, cousin."

Madam Meng asked Meng Shuyi, "We are about to set off on our journey. Do you have anything to ask for?"

"My cousin said that we will pass Qian County ahead. It is the border between Dayan and Daliang. There will be a lot of chaos there. Please be careful, aunt and the people around you."

Madam Meng nodded: "Okay, I understand."

When he heard that they were about to arrive in Qian County, Jiang Shiwan unconsciously clenched his fists.

According to the agreement between him and Song Huaizhi, after arriving in Qian County, he would pass on news to him and tell him about his progress in the capital.

I don’t know whether that bold idea that I have been dreaming about will succeed.

But isn’t it just for success that I have done so much?

Thinking of this, Jiang Shiwan couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Jiang." Meng Shuyi waved at her, "Please move some of grandma's things to the carriage first."

Seeing that she meant something, Jiang Shiwan did as she said.

When they were outside the tent, Meng Shuyi deliberately walked closer to her. "The little prince has been very well behaved these days. He is very good at making mother's voices. I'm afraid he will be able to speak soon. I'll bring him to you when I get a chance. Don't worry."

She took the initiative to mention Ah You. Jiang Shiwan was naturally surprised, but more of a feeling of gratitude: "Thank you, cousin. I feel relieved to have you take care of Ah You."

"My current status is special, you don't have to bring him to see me. If the governor finds out, it will easily cause trouble."

Meng Shuyi nodded sympathetically: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Thinking that she might be forced to separate from Ah You in the future, Jiang Shiwan looked at Meng Shuyi steadily and said, "My dear cousin, I have an unreasonable request."

"Why are we still saying these polite words to each other?" Meng Shuyi choked up a little, "If you hadn't nodded at that time, my cousin wouldn't have easily agreed to let me enter the Governor's Mansion."

Jiang Shiwan said sincerely: "Ayou matures late, so it is inevitable that people will worry about him. No matter what happens in the future, please treat Ayou well, just like your adopted son, okay?"
