Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 173: In Zhiyang City (2)
Li Yun paused while holding the wine glass, thinking of marriage, Zheng Ruo's beautiful face naturally appeared in his mind.

"Let's talk about this when we go back."

The two talked until late at night, and after getting drunk, they went to sleep.

And here, after Zheng Ruo arrived at Chengshou Mansion, Wang Jinzhi arranged for him to be placed in a wing on the east side of his courtyard.Wang Jinzhi's bedroom is in the west wing, which is not very big. The two rooms can be said to be door-to-door.Such an arrangement can be seen at a glance.All the servants in the city guard's mansion had almost escaped, and there were no maids in the yard to serve them. Wang Jinzhi temporarily found a woman in her twenties, Mrs. Cai. Now she lives with a five-year-old child.

After Zheng Ruo entered the room, she knelt down in front of the window, spread her right palm, and was in a daze.Just after Wang Jinzhi hugged her into his arms excitedly, the unsightly images from the previous life flooded towards her like a tide, and she trembled with fear.He slapped him without hesitation!

The sound of "Pa..." not only stunned Wang Jiulang, but also stunned himself.

However, the corners of Zheng Ruo's mouth curled slightly, her heart was extremely happy.It was as if this slap brought out the resentment from the previous life.She wasn't worried. Wang Jinzhi found out that she used his reputation before, rather than really liking him.Now I have money, and he has become my biggest reliance on providing food, grass and water for Li Yun. What's more, during this trip to Yongzhou, I sacrificed my life to save Wang Jiulang and Zhiyang City. No matter what, Wang Jiulang dare not do anything about himself now.

As long as she thought of Wang Jiulang's darkened face, she felt an evil pleasure in her heart.

"Girl, the hot water that Jiu Lang ordered is ready, do you want some fragrant soup, girl?" Mrs. Cai was an ordinary commoner who didn't know family etiquette, so she dared to report in a low voice outside.From time to time, I peek at the fairy-like figure inside, and I heard that she is Jiulang's wife.

"Bring it in..." Zheng Ruo got up and said.

"Here."

Cai asked two guards to bring in the big wooden bucket, put it in the room, and poured bucket after bucket of hot water into it.

"The girl's hot soup is ready, please take a bath." After pouring the hot water, the guards all retreated, leaving only Mrs. Cai.

"You go out too." Zheng Ruo said.

"Doesn't the girl need to wait?"

Zheng Ruo shook his head, and Cai stepped back.

Zheng Ruo took off her clothes and climbed into the bathtub, the hot water flooded her skin, and the fatigue of many days was swept away.Leaning his head against the edge of the bathtub, Zheng Ruo happily giggled when he thought of Wang Jiulang's face as black as the bottom of a pot after being slapped by himself.Wang Jinzhi is right in saying that he is a bold one!Who would dare to beat Langya Wangshi Jiulang?She dares!
"Hehehe..." She hummed a ditty while soaking in the bathtub.

Unknowingly, the tiredness of many days hit her, she leaned against the tub and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but the moon has moved to the mid-heaven.Cai, who was guarding the door, never heard Zheng Ruo's summons. She kept in mind what Mu Jianqiu said to her when she was sent in to wait on her, and the rule of not entering the room without the master's summons.At the beginning of guarding the door, she could still stand upright, but gradually her feet began to swell, and the left and right exchanged load.In the end, he leaned against the door frame and dozed off.

Wang Jinzhi woke up from his drunkenness and wanted to rest in the bedroom. When he walked into the yard, he saw Mrs. Cai leaning against the door and dozing off. He walked over and asked in a low voice, "Is the girl asleep?"

Cai Shi was woken up and saw Wang Jiulang standing in front of her wearing a moonlight, blushing, remembering his question, and replied: "The girl said she wants to take a bath, so let the slave wait outside."

Wang Jinzhi looked at the sky and said, "Are you still taking a bath at this time?"

Mrs. Cai also knew that Zheng Ruo had been bathing inside for a long time at this time, so she said in a low voice: "The manager said that you are not allowed to enter the master's room without the master's summons..."

Wang Jinzhi was amused by her anger, "How long have you been bathing?"

"The girl was in there when it got dark."

Wang Jinzhi's expression changed, and he thought, what happened?Subconsciously, I want to push the door open and look in, but when I think of the slap on the left cheek, I feel that I have not only offended the beautiful woman by doing this, but I am afraid that she will not only hate herself, but may even have the heart to kill herself .Furthermore, how could he, Wang Jiulang, be the kind of person who doesn't know etiquette?His arrogance stopped him.

"Don't go in and take a look?"

Frightened by Wang Jiulang's sudden anger, Mrs. Cai was a little frightened, and immediately responded, "Here, here."

Pushing open the door, the oil lamp by the bathtub was flickering, she walked over and pushed Zheng Ruo's shoulder, and called softly, "Girl, girl, don't sleep, the water is cold..."

"Hmm..." Zheng Ruo opened his misty eyes and realized that the water was completely cold. He shook his head to wake himself up and said to Mrs. Cai, "Go out, I'm getting up."

"Here." Wang Jinzhi felt relieved when he heard the voice speaking inside.Seeing Mrs. Cai come out, he whispered to her, "Don't let the girl know that I've been here."

"Here."

"Cai Shi, who are you talking to?"

"No, no. I saw a mouse..."

"Oh. Go back and rest, I don't have to wait here anymore."

"Here."

Wang Jinzhi walked to his own bedroom opposite, stood in front of the window, looked at the silhouette reflected on the wooden window opposite, and stroked his left cheek again.He sighed softly until the oil lamp on the opposite side went out.The night swallowed this sigh, and even the stars in the sky became melancholy, twinkling brightly and dimly.

After solving the crisis in Zhiyang City, Wang Jiulang and Li Yun became busier.Zheng Ruo caught a cold because he soaked in the wooden barrel for too long the first night, and felt a little uncomfortable the next day. He lay sleepy on the bed and didn't go out.

It's already September, and although the sky is still hot, there will occasionally be a few drops of rain. Although not much, it is enough to give the people confidence.

Zheng Ruo drank the medicine and sweated all over, feeling much lighter.Thinking that I have been out for almost 20 days, and I only left a letter to my father and elder brother in the house. After such a long time, they don't know how anxious they are.
