Xu Chunjun and the others knew that the news about Cen Yunchu came from Ke Wangchen and Huo Tian.
In fact, Ke Wangchen already knew the whereabouts of Cen Yunchu before the head of Jiaming County exposed Zeng Ci in public.
Huo Tian was a little later than him. It was all given by the emperor and informed by people around him.
However, only a few people know about it at present. After all, we have to wait for a suitable time to announce Cen Yunchu's identity.
Notifying them in advance is not to make them worry too much, but it is also to make preparations in advance.
When Xu Chunjun was walking out, he happened to face Jiang Qing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
So I stopped and said hello.
Mrs. Zong knew that she and Jiang Nuan were the best, so she smiled and said, "Grandma Zheng, why don't you sit down for a while? I haven't seen you for a long time, but I met you at Lord Lu's house last month!"
"How are you, Aunt Zong? I've been here for most of the day, but I have to go back." Xu Chunjun replied with a smile.
Jiang Qing on the side just smiled and said nothing. She knew that Xu Chunjun was a smart and cautious person, so there was no need to act with her.
Mrs. Zong came to visit Jiang Nuan, and she still feels guilty.
In addition, Jiang Qing had repeatedly expressed to her recently that she wanted to rebuild the old relationship with her sister, but she was afraid that she would come, so Jiang Nuan did not want to see her.
As mother-in-law, Mrs. Zong naturally supported Jiang Qing's approach.
She didn't want to cling to Huo Tian, she just thought that Jiang Qing and Jiang Nuan were sisters after all, so it was not good to be so stiff all the time.
It is better to dissolve enemies than to marry them, let alone half-sisters.
Jiang Qing was considered polite and sensible in the Zong family. Mrs. Zong thought that she was young after all. Even if she had done something wrong before, now that she had a grandson, she shouldn't hold on to old scores.
She believes that sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. As an elder, you should always be more considerate and tolerant.
Jiang Nuan didn't really want to see Jiang Qing, but after all, she couldn't save Mrs. Zong's face.
The order invited them in and prepared tea and snacks.
She had now completely let go of Zong Tianbao, so she did not shy away from it. When they met, she directly asked Mrs. Zong: "Didn't Tianbao go to the imperial court today to do his duty?"
"I've gone, and I should be back soon." Mrs. Zong said to me with a smile, "This kid seems to have grown up. He is far less stable than Mr. Huo."
Zong Tianbao had indeed returned home at this time, and Chengyun came over with hot tea.
Having been here for almost a month, she has basically become familiar with Zong Tianbao's habits.
"Where's my wife?" Zong Tianbao asked as he took off his outer clothes.
"My wife and grandma have gone out, and I heard that they will hold a lantern before they come back!" Chengyun said, carefully folding Zong Tianbao's coat.
When Zong Tianbao heard that Jiang Qing was not at home, he drank half a bowl of tea and went to the front to see the child.
The child was playing after he had eaten. When he saw Zong Tianbao, he immediately fluttered his little hands and laughed. Zong Tianbao picked him up and played with him.
After a while, the housekeeper came over and said that Zeng Nan had sent someone to invite Zong Tianbao to a restaurant on Qian Street.
After hearing this, Zong Tianbao handed the child to the maid, put on his own clothes and went out.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zong family came back from the Huo family, they knew that Zong Tianbao had gone out, so they ate their own dinner and went back to their rooms to rest.
Zeng Nan and Zong Tianbao have been together since childhood, and they have similar temperaments and temperaments.
Zeng Nan asked him to go out for a drink because he was feeling depressed. Zong Tianbao tried to persuade him a few words, but it was of little use.
Zeng Nan just drank glass after glass of wine. Zong Tianbao didn't want to drink at first, but when he saw his friend was depressed, he couldn't bear it, so he drank with him.
After a few glasses of wine, the two of them opened up their chat boxes and expressed their feelings to each other.
We drank until midnight, then we paid back the money and went home.
Zong Tianbao returned home and went straight to the study.
It was so late, he drank again, and stopped seeing the child.
Chengyun didn't know when Zong Tianbao would come back, but he had already made all the preparations that needed to be made.
The tea stove was kept open in case Zong Tianbao came back and asked for tea when he was thirsty.
The maid who was on duty with her took a leave of absence, so she had to spend the night outside alone.
Because I was not sure whether Zong Tianbao would spend the night in the study, I stayed up until midnight.
Zong Tianbao's steps were a little staggering, and he was helped into the door by the servant.
Cheng Yun heard the noise and came out quickly, and helped Zong Tianbao into the house with the boy.
"Have you been out for so long and haven't eaten yet?" Cheng Yun asked the boy, "There should be some food in the kitchen. You go and have a bite. I'm enough here."
"Thank you for your help," the boy said gratefully, "I'll come back after I finish my meal."
"You can rest after eating!" Cheng Yun said very matter-of-factly, "It's already midnight, I'm probably asleep and won't wake up. Even if I wake up, it's just for drinking tea. I can do this all by myself."
Sure enough, Zong Tianbao fell asleep as soon as he lay down. Chengyun helped him take off his coat, shoes and socks, then covered him with a quilt and put down the bed curtain.
I went to the tower outside and lay down with my clothes on, ready to go in and serve him at any time when Zong Tianbao woke up.
Zong Tianbao slept in a deep sleep. He didn't know when he woke up from thirst, and asked for tea with a hoarse voice.
After hearing this, Chengyun hurriedly came in and brought him a bowl of delicious tea.
Zong Tianbao had a vague feeling of déjà vu. He forced his drunken eyes to open, and he felt as if Jiang Nuan had accompanied and cared for him in the past.
"Ah Nuan," Zong Tianbao called softly, "is that you?"
Chengyun was shocked and didn't dare to agree.
Of course she knew about Zong Tianbao and Jiang Nuan, and knew that the uncle got drunk and admitted the wrong person.
She was afraid that Zong Tianbao would be embarrassed if she opened her mouth, so she did not dare to speak.
"A Nuan, am I not dreaming?" Zong Tianbao carefully held Cheng Yun's face, "It's great that you are here. Do you know that I had a nightmare, and in the dream I made you
Lost it. I...I feel so uncomfortable..."
He hugged Chengyun tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.
"You said you would never leave me again, please..." Zong Tianbao begged, "I can't live without you. Without you, I become a walking zombie, and my life is worse than death."
He was so helpless and frightened that Chengyun felt pity in his heart and couldn't bear to speak.
Zong Tianbao seemed to be encouraged, and he became a little bolder, and continued to beg: "A Nuan, can I kiss you? I... I dream about staying with you forever... You know, I have
How much I like you.
You are always shy to get close to me, I...I have to endure it so hard..."
Zong Tianbao's kiss fell like a shower. Chengyun was afraid and wanted to break away, but even his sobs were swallowed up.
Zong Tianbao, who was almost crazy, mistook her for Jiang Nuan, whom he couldn't love, and even believed that the two were already married.
He turned the longing that had been pent up in his heart for a long time into action, doing whatever he wanted to the delicate woman in his arms.
Cheng Yun was afraid at first, but then gradually lost herself in Zong Tianbao's frantic but loving caress.
She is just a maid, and she can only bear the male master's advances.
What's more, she secretly loved Zong Tianbao in her heart.
