Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 234: The Delicate Cousin Girl vs. the Upright and Brave Cousin (28)

Shen Shuyi washed up and went out. She saw that the breakfast was all Yuhang dishes, fresh meat and bamboo shoots rice dumplings, thin-skinned and large-stuffed dumplings, and sweet-scented osmanthus wine dumplings.
"Try it and see if it suits your taste." Zhou Qian sat down and looked at her. "This is the chef I invited from Yuhang."

"My husband is so thoughtful." Shen Shuyi raised her eyes and saw Zhou Qian eating buns and drinking rice porridge in big mouthfuls.

She paused, "Does my husband have something urgent?"

"No."

"Why don't you eat slower? This bun is still a little hot. Eating too hot is not good for your health."

Zhou Qian held the bun in his hand, not knowing whether to eat it or put it down. He just said, "I'm used to it in the military camp. When I was fighting before, I ate it quickly if I had food, otherwise I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough time to eat."

Shen Shuyi, "We are not in the military camp now, so try to eat slowly."

"Okay." Zhou Qian nodded immediately, not wanting to upset his wife over such a small matter.

After breakfast, the two got on a carriage to the General's Mansion. On the way, Zhou Qian handed a bunch of keys to Shen Shuyi.

"Here is the key to the storeroom. I'll have the butler give you the account book when we get back home."

Shen Shuyi was surprised, "I just got married on the first day and you asked me to be the housekeeper? What's more, we are just a couple in name only."

"Shuyi, in my eyes, you are my wife, and I will never marry anyone else in this life." Zhou Qian said solemnly.

"I gave you the management rights because I wanted to reassure you that this house is yours, and the money in the house is also yours. You can use it however you want."

Shen Shuyi, "I have money." Her dowry is very generous!
"I know, but this is different." Zhou Qian said seriously: "A man should let his wife run the household. I am willing to leave all my wealth in the hands of my wife."

Shen Shuyi blushed, "Don't say such things to me."

This man wants her to know his love all the time! Cunning!

"Okay, then I won't tell you."

"Cousin Shuyi, just watch what I do." Zhou Qian wanted to hold her hand, but was afraid of being abrupt, so he just looked at her with tenderness.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted, and Shen Shuyi lost his support and fell forward. Zhou Qian was quick to catch her and hold her in his arms.

He sat up straight and only then saw Shen Shuyi's blushing face. There was a natural hint of coquettishness in her shy eyes.

An ambiguous atmosphere rose between the two of them, and the car frame suddenly stopped.

"General, something happened up ahead."

"What's going on?" Zhou Qian still held his wife firmly.

"Someone was riding a horse in the street and injured someone. The person was lying on the ground, bleeding all over the ground."

Shen Shuyi drew aside the curtain and saw the person lying on the ground, curled up and trembling. Looking at the blood, he must have been seriously injured, and no one dared to go up to check.

Zhou Qian jumped off the carriage without saying a word. He said to the guards, "Send him to the clinic first."

After a while, someone came to report: "General, it was General Gao's adopted son Gao Shijian who rode his horse in the street and seriously injured someone."

Shen Shuyi saw Zhou Qian return to the carriage with a serious expression, "Does my husband want to take care of this?"

"Well, what do you think, Madam?" This matter involves an official appointed by the imperial court, and if one is not careful it will bring disaster to his family.

Shen Shuyi looked at him with an extremely serious expression.

"I know that my eldest cousin is a hero on the battlefield and a good official. He is no worse than those top three scholars in the imperial examinations."

"If you turn a blind eye to injustice, you're not Zhou Yanzhao."

"Is this how my cousin sees me?" Zhou Qian's heart was burning.

Shen Shuyi gave him a coquettish look and said, "My cousin has always been an upright and brave hero."

She added in a low voice, "I, I seem to like my cousin again." Zhou Qian clenched his fists in surprise, his chest muscles tensed.

She said she liked herself again.

As long as there is a little bit of love, he will work hard to make his cousin like him more.

I like him the most, Zhou Yanzhao!

Zhou Qian's chest felt hot, and he couldn't help but hug her tighter, his chin against the top of her head, "I like Shuyi the most."

He felt comfortable all over and felt that he was not good enough.

Sweetness spread between the two of them until they went to the General's Mansion to offer tea, and Old Lady Zhou asked Shen Shuyi to stay to drink tea and chat.

Shen Shuyi sent Zhou Qian out and asked, "Husband, are you going to the palace to report Gao Shijian?"

"Please proceed with caution."

"Ma'am, rest assured. This book will be useful if I refer to it for reference by the censors. It will also let the emperor know that I am upright and outspoken, but also a bit reckless. This way the royal family will be more confident in us." Zhou Qian gently held her hand.

Shen Shuyi nodded slightly. The reason why Zhou Qian was able to return safely from the battlefield every time was not just because of his bravery.

This time, Gao Shijian not only rode his horse in the street, but also raped a woman. Zhou Qian sued Gao Shijian in front of the emperor. The emperor was furious and asked the Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The officials who had been collecting evidence of Gao Shijian's crimes submitted the files of people suing Gao Shijian in previous years to the Dali Temple. In addition, many people who had been oppressed by Gao Shijian heard the news and went to court to file complaints.

Before Gao Shijian was escorted to the Dali Temple for interrogation, he was still arguing with his newly married wife Lou. Lou Caiya ran angrily and knocked on the door of the side courtyard.

She received news early in the morning that Gao Shijian had brought another beauty back home.

After finally getting her father to put pressure on Gao Shijian to dismiss the concubines in the mansion, this playboy is hiding a beauty at home. Isn't this a provocation to her? !
"Gao Shijian, open the door for me!"

The voices of a man and a woman were heard in the room. Gao Shijian was very unhappy when he was interrupted by Lou Caiya as he was enjoying himself.

"Get out of here!"

Lou Caiya was so angry that she asked her followers to break down the door.

Gao Shijian hurriedly pulled up his pants, kicked everyone out, and then grabbed Lou Caiya's neck, "Bitch!"

He once thought that Lou Caiya was a pure, talented, gentle and lovely woman.

I never thought that she was just a jealous, dissolute shrew!

"Let me go! If you dare to hit me, my father will not let you go!" Lou Caiya's face turned red from being pinched by him.

Gao Shijian threw her to the ground and grabbed her long hair, "If it weren't for the fact that you are the daughter of the prime minister, I would have divorced you long ago!"

"Gao Shijian! It was you who asked me to marry you, and now you are humiliating me like this."

"Oh, if you hadn't thrown yourself into my arms at the Peony Flower Fair, would I have married a bitch like you?" Gao Shijian grabbed her neck again, his face grim. "Next time you dare to disturb my interest, I will kill you!"

"You dare?!" Lou Caiya was almost unable to breathe due to the suffocation. At this moment, a burst of neat and powerful footsteps came from outside.

Then Gao Shijian was taken away by the people from the Dali Temple. Lou Caiya fell to the ground and collapsed. She didn't know what evil had possessed her during this period. She had nightmares every night. As soon as she closed her eyes, the ghosts of the wronged dead would come to claim her life, and she couldn't escape even in her dreams.

Over time, coupled with Gao Shijian's infidelity, she became extremely haggard. She was only eighteen years old, but she had white hair and looked like an old woman.

The sun was setting and it was getting dark. Shen Shu noticed that Zhou Qian had not returned from the palace yet. She wanted to go back home first, but before she even walked out the door, she saw Zhou Qian riding a horse and hurried back.

He jumped down to her and said, "Ma'am, let's go home."

Shen Shuyi saw beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. She raised her hand and wiped it with a handkerchief. "Why are you running so fast?"

Zhou Qian smelled the fragrance on the handkerchief, which was just like the faint scent of his wife, and he couldn't help feeling a little distracted.
