Chapter 300 – Happiness Comes Too Suddenly

Zheng Ji pondered for a moment, knowing that this could not be emphasized.

He said with difficulty, ”It’s my fault, I can understand Mingya and Shiji doing that. You’re right, it’s good that we silently bless each other. Having this daughter is already an unexpected blessing from heaven, I can’t force it anymore. Can’t do that, and can’t give up.”

His gaze became void, “Thank you Jiang Chen, thank you ……”

The two of them were each thinking about their own thoughts.

After a long time, Meng Zhimo added, “Shiji and I guessed that the old woman who looked for Zhou to find out what was going on should have been sent by Your Ladyship. No matter what, you have to appease her. That incident was not Shishi’s fault, and Shishi shouldn’t be blamed for it, and even more so, you can’t take it out on Shishi. If she dares to touch Shy, I will not be polite …… Oh, and Zhou’s death, did you let someone move?”

Zheng Ji had previously suspected that the person looking for Zhou to inquire about Hu Mingya was sent by He. Moreover, listening to Zhou’s words, that old woman also implied that Hu was not self-respecting when she was young, making Zhou self-conscious that she had caught more of Hu’s handles.

Hearing Meng Zhimo’s words also made him more certain that He Clan had already transferred her resentment towards herself onto Mingya’s mother and daughter.

His face darkened, ”I will make it clear to He Clan that she is not allowed to be unkind to Shiji, she is not allowed to denigrate them anymore, and even more so, she is not allowed to talk about this matter. As for Zhou’s death, it was indeed me who made Zheng Shou do it.”

After the talk the two men drank at the other courtyard. Zheng Ji drank one cup after another and drank so much that neither Meng Zhimo nor Zheng Shou could persuade him. In the end he was so drunk that he was helped to bed to rest.

Zheng Shou sent Meng Ruimo him out the door.

Zheng Shou said, “Meng Shizi, I know best how my general has been through all these years.

After saying this, he looked at Meng Ruimo solicitously.

Meng Ruimo shook her head and said, “I know that Uncle Zheng is not easy, and there are people who are even more difficult than him.”

After saying that, he turned over and mounted his horse.

Back at Meng Mansion, it was already sunset, Jiang Yishi and CunCun had gone to FuAn Hall.

Meng Zhimo also drank a lot, and there is something in his heart, so he went to bed and rested.

When he woke up, he saw Jiang Yishi sitting on the edge of the bed watching him.

Candlelight is dim, shining her face more beautiful and soft.

Shishi is also so beautiful that a fairy can’t even compare to her, and he is still fortunate enough to have married her.

Meng Zhimo smiled and reached out to stroke Jiang Yishi’s face.

Jiang Yishi said softly, “The sobering soup is ready, I’ll have someone bring it over.”

Meng Zhimo sat up, “I’m much better, I don’t need to drink sobering soup.”

He spoke of the conversation he had with Zheng Ji today.

“…… Uncle Zheng is truly repentant, all in tears. The world is messed up, two people who love each other got like this, I don’t think we can all blame him. He agreed not to recognize you and not to tell the truth about this. He also hopes that you don’t hate him, it’s painful to carry hatred and resentment in your heart …… He also said that General Jiang is so good to his own daughter, he will also be good to Jiang Xun in the future ……”

Hearing these words, especially Zheng Ji’s love for Hu Mingya when he was young, Jiang Yishi’s heart was also sour.

So beautiful and pure feelings, but in the end it turned out to be like this.

She couldn’t talk about hatred towards Zheng Ji before, but she did have some resentment. After hearing these words, even that little bit of resentment is gone.

Zheng Ji is right, the heart loaded with hate and resentment is painful.

But Zheng Ji and Hu had already missed out, that is, she had missed out with herself. She did not want to see him, much less recognize him, her father was Jiang Chen.

Let s bless each other silently ……

Meng Zhimo took out two more superb jade pendants, “This is what Uncle Ji always carries with him, he said to give it to Cun’er and the child who is not yet born as a souvenir. I can’t bear to refuse this one and accept it.”

Jiang Yishi also felt that she shouldn’t reject this kindness to the child any longer, but she wasn’t willing to go through with it. Saying, “You give it to the children.”

Zheng Ji slept until noon the next day.

He hurried back to the Grand Princess’s residence. Instead of going to the main hall as usual, he went to He’s courtyard.

This courtyard was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

He had always lived here when he was young, and since he had lived in that woman, he had only stayed for one night and had never come back.

Standing here again, seventeen years had passed.

So many long years, but it felt like a snap of the fingers.

In the yard, there were only a few large trees that had lost all their leaves, with snow piled up on their branches and roofs. There is no other decoration, not even a little bit of decorative lanterns and colorful aya things in the yard. The courtyard was even more sparse and quiet.

Thinking of He’s eyes like stagnant water and gloomy expression, Zheng Ji’s heart ached for a moment. A vague clear and quiet girl appeared in front of his eyes again, this woman became like this, all because of marrying him.

Zheng Ji was still angry at her for secretly investigating Shiji’s birth and being unkind to Mingya and Shiji, but when he saw the scene in the courtyard, Zheng Ji felt that he shouldn’t be too harsh on He.

He takes a deep breath and has a good talk before arranging her life better afterward.

When one of the maids in the courtyard saw that Zheng Ji had actually come here, her mouth opened in shock.

She was stunned for a moment, turned around and ran towards the main room, shouting up as she ran, “Madam, Madam, the master is here, the master is here.”

This voice immediately shouted the courtyard into a clamor.

Many people didn’t believe it to be true and ran out the door or opened their windows to look. Once they saw that it was true, their own master was walking towards the courtyard.

They immediately sprang into action. Those who served the lady, those who went to boil water, and those who went to cook, all took their places without being told.

Zheng Ji stood down awkwardly, wondering if he shouldn’t have come here and made these people misunderstand.

He had just gotten up from her morning rest, and when she heard that shouting she thought it was some girl who was bewitched and actually dared to yell at her and say that kind of thing.

Sister Tang ran to the window and opened it to take a look, and said in surprise, “Ma’am, it’s true, the master is really here.”

It was already too late to change clothes, Sister Tang hurriedly opened the closet and took out a rose-red cloak. New Year’s Eve, the lady wears too plain, drape a bright colorful poncho not only joyful, but also can set off the lady a little younger.

A big maid and as fast as possible to open the dresser on the small drawer, took out a embedded treasure phoenix hairpin inserted in He’s head.

Still blinded, He was helped out by Sister Tang to fetch her husband who had not entered this door for seventeen years.

When she came to the door of the main room, she saw Zheng Ji standing in the courtyard.

Embarrassed to take another step, He called out softly, “Master.”

She was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. Zheng Ji was going back to the border again in three days, she thought that there would be no reconciliation between them in this life, but she didn’t expect happiness to come too suddenly.

When Zheng Ji saw He like this, he had the urge to run away. He’s heart is not completely dead, but what she wants she can’t give.
