Chapter 360 Extra 2
The next day, Pei Rujing took Rui Ge'er and Ling Jie'er back to the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence.
Rui-ge'er had been preparing for the imperial examinations and hadn't visited the Marquis's residence for a long time. Now that the exams were over, he naturally wanted to come and see his elders.
After sitting in the Jiang family courtyard for a while, the three of them went to the Jade Pavilion, where Wen Shuyu happened to be there with her two children.
Aunt Chen was very happy and pulled Rui Ge'er aside to ask about the imperial examination.
With a smile on his face, Rui-ge patiently answered each of Aunt Chen's questions.
Wen Shuyu and Pei Rujing sat together: "In the blink of an eye, Rui-ge'er has grown up so much."
Ling'er leaned closer and said sweetly, "Aunt, it's alright, my brother is all grown up, I'm still little."
Wen Shuyu was immediately amused.
He hugged Ling'er tightly and said, "Yes, our little darling is still so young."
Tong-jie is a year older than Ling-jie. Hearing this, she made a face at her: "Shameless! You're only a year younger than me, how are you younger?"
Upon seeing this, Sheng-ge immediately and skillfully hid far away.
The next moment, Lingjie broke free from Wen Shuyu's embrace and pounced on Tongjie, baring her teeth and claws: "Cousin—"
Tong-jie dodged away, and Ling-jie chased after her.
The two chased each other, creating quite a lively scene.
Wen Shuyu and Pei Rujing exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat helpless.
Tong Jie'er and Ling Jie'er are both lively people. When they get together, they often start arguing after only a few words. The key is that neither of them holds a grudge, and they continue playing after arguing.
Over the years, they've gotten used to it.
Ignoring the two playfully fighting, Sheng Ge'er walked over to Rui Ge'er and said with some admiration, "Cousin, you are exceptionally learned and will surely pass the imperial examination. I wonder if I will be able to pass it in a few years?"
His greatest idol was Rui Ge'er, because Rui Ge'er was the first among their generation to reach the provincial examination and was very likely to pass it.
In other words, Rui Ge'er may be the first person in his generation to pass the imperial examination at the county level.
Sheng-ge'er himself was also studying and knew that passing the imperial examination was not easy, so he admired Rui-ge'er even more.
Rui said gently, "Cousin, don't worry. As long as you study hard, you'll pass the provincial examination with flying colors, let alone the prefectural examination."
Wen Shuyu smiled upon hearing this: "Rui-ge'er really knows how to talk."
Pei Rujing smiled and said, "Rui-ge'er's temperament is just like her husband's."
Over the years, Wen Zongji has been recognized as a respectable person both inside and outside the government. As long as no one actively seeks trouble, Wen Zongji can get along comfortably with anyone.
Therefore, Wen Zongji was highly regarded both within and outside the government.
Especially after Wen Zongji joined the cabinet as the youngest Grand Secretary, some negative voices disappeared.
"My brother is a very gentle person."
Wen Shuyu always remembered the warmth she felt from Wen Zongji and Pei Rujing over the years.
Pei Rujing nodded in agreement.
The two stayed at the Jade Pavilion until it got dark, when Wen Zongji and Jiao Yansong came to pick them up.
They had dinner together at the Marquis's residence before leaving.
On the carriage
Jiao Yansong and his family sat together.
Jiao Yansong looked at Wen Shuyu tenderly: "Madam, I have a day off tomorrow. Shall I accompany you out of the city for a field trip?"
Tongjie couldn't help but complain, "Father, you've been accompanying Mother on these field trips for ten years now. Can't you come up with something new? And you always leave us behind. Isn't that going too far?"
Jiao Yansong looked at her calmly: "You've all grown up. Do you expect your mother and I to look after you?"
Tongjie muttered, "When we were little, didn't you still abandon us?"
Wen Shuyu's cheeks flushed at his words, and she said, "Let's go out together as a family tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Tongjie immediately cheered, "Great!"
Sheng Ge'er also curled the corners of his mouth.
Only Jiao Yansong was dissatisfied, looking at Wen Shuyu with a resentful gaze.
Wen Shuyu pretended not to see it and ignored it completely.
Upon returning to the manor, Tong Jie'er and Sheng Ge'er each went to their rooms to rest.
After Wen Shuyu bathed and changed, she saw Jiao Yansong with his long hair loose and the collar of his black inner garment slightly open, revealing his slender neck and collarbone. Wen Shuyu's eyes flickered slightly.
When Jiao Yansong saw her enter, he stared intently at her without saying a word, just staring.
The maids helped Wen Shuyu wring out her hair. Once it was completely dry, the maids left, and Wen Shuyu turned to look at Jiao Yansong: "That's enough!"
Endless!
Jiao Yansong got up, walked over, bent down, picked up Wen Shuyu, placed her on the bed, and then pressed down on her...
After the two of them bathed and lay in bed again, Jiao Yansong, having satisfied his desires, said, "Next time Madam cancels our time alone without my consent, I won't let you off so easily."
Wen Shuyu glared at him: "You old geezer!"
Jiao Yansong, being thick-skinned, pretended not to hear.
Wen Shuyu was still angry, so she raised her hand and pinched his waist, making Jiao Yansong wince in pain before she was satisfied: "You're really something, arguing with a child like this."
The fact that Wen Shuyu could react so sarcastically shows that she was truly speechless.
Jiao Yansong said calmly, "I only have time to spend with you on my days off, and they still come to cause trouble! I, as their father, work diligently to raise them, and they don't appreciate it at all. They expect me to think about them?"
Deprive him of time with Wen Shuyu, and not even the children!
Wen Shuyu was on the verge of collapse: "Everyone else becomes more and more composed, why are you becoming more and more shameless?"
Ever since ten years ago, when Jiao Yansong accompanied her on a field trip outside the city for her birthday, she had vaguely realized that Jiao Yansong seemed to be intentionally cultivating a relationship with her.
Wen Shuyu chose to let things take their course; after all, they were husband and wife, and it was normal for them to develop feelings for each other.
But Wen Shuyu never expected that while their relationship was growing stronger, Jiao Yansong was becoming more and more shameless, even going so far as to fight with the children over her affections, completely losing all sense of shame.
Jiao Yansong didn't take Wen Shuyu's comments to heart. He lowered his head and kissed her, his eyes filled with affection. He took Wen Shuyu's hand and placed it on his chest, whispering seductively, "Madam, don't you find them sometimes an eyesore?"
Wen Shuyu subconsciously looked into his eyes, and was burned by the intense emotions in them. The words she was about to say suddenly stuck in her throat: "But I already promised them."
Jiao Yansong smiled and said, "We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning without calling them."
Wen Shuyu pursed her lips: "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
She said it wasn't good, but her stance wasn't that firm.
Jiao Yansong's kisses fell softly, gradually blurring Wen Shuyu's senses.
"OK?"
"it is good."
Who says pillow talk is only for women? Men can do it just as well.
For so many years, the two have been able to remain a couple who have forgotten their child. While Jiao Yansong is undoubtedly the mastermind, Wen Shuyu is not entirely innocent either.
Who could resist Jiao Yansong's temptation?
Reason told her that it wasn't right to leave the children behind, but she was always persuaded by Jiao Yansong to agree. When she came back after playing and saw the children's resentful eyes, she couldn't help but feel guilty and promised to take them with her next time.
And then... the cycle repeats.
