Jing Heguang kissed Zhang Xingyu. When Zhang Xingyu felt the warmth between his eyebrows, he thought — he was sweaty!
Zhang Xingyu quickly pushed Jing Heguang and made an excuse with great embarrassment: “There is someone here…”
Jing Heguang laughed. The chest where Zhang Xingyu’s hand rests rises and falls, making Zhang Xingyu’s hand seem to be electrified!
Jing Heguang released his hands and said, “But you’re holding me, little fool.”
Only then did Zhang Xingyu realize that he was the one holding Jing Heguang tightly!
He released him, then glanced at Jing Heguang with a red face.
Jing Heguang stretched out his hand and said: “Give me the baggage.”
Zhang Xingyu shook his head: “I’ll do it myself, it’s a bit heavy.”
How could Jing Heguang let his husband who had traveled a long way carry the baggage? He won’t allow it!
Jing Heguang glanced at the guard schemingly and muttered: “Let me do it, someone is here!”
After Zhang Xingyu heard what Jing Heguang said, he immediately took off the baggage himself, asked Jing Heguang to carry it, then smiled at the guard. In front of others, he would pay attention to save Jing Heguang’s face.
After succeeding, Jing Heguang held his husband’s luggage with one hand and held his husband with the other. He greeted the guard, then led the person inside.
Zhang Xingyu paused, looked at the scenery inside the Li Mansion, and said hesitantly: “How about I go stay at the inn…”
In two steps, Jing Heguang took him into the Li Mansion at once.
After bringing the person in directly, Jing Heguang said: “Lord Li went out of the city to investigate the case. If he comes back and finds out that you are here and I let you stay in the inn, he will definitely kick me out!”
“Ah?” Zhang Xingyu was a little puzzled. He didn’t understand, so he said, “Then if it’s not troublesome for you, it’s okay to stay here.”
In fact, he was just afraid of causing trouble to Jing Heguang.
Zhang Xingyu heard that those powerful young ladies and gers are good at everything from qin, chess, calligraphy and painting!
As for Jing Heguang, the people he associates with are all high-ranking officials, and his family members are also very powerful. He is afraid that by staying in the Li Mansion, he will embarrass Jing Heguang.
Jing Heguang scratched Zhang Xingyu’s palm with his index finger and asked him with a smile: “Do you know how lord Li knows me?”
Zhang Xingyu shook his head.
Jing Heguang said: “Because of you!”
Zhang Xingyu said in shock: “But I have never met Lord Li? This is my first time in Fucheng.”
“Who said one can’t know someone unless they see them. It was when I took the provincial examination. I brought you two hairpins back then, do you remember? There were fireworks that time, so I said it would be great if I could watch them with you. Lord Li only appreciated me when he heard that.”
“Now then, if it’s not because of you then because of who?” Jing Heguang came closer and asked Zhang Xingyu with a smile.
Now it’s Zhang Xingyu’s turn to feel his heart beat faster!
He thought to himself, why do Jing Heguang always say anything to others…
If he misses him, then just misses him, why say it out loud. What an odd and unashamed man.
However, Zhang Xingyu has actually experienced this kind of thing too. Therefore, he knew that the reason why he spoke unconsciously was because he was thinking about him all the time.
Jing Heguang kept thinking about him. Wherever he went, he was always in his mind.
When thinking of this, Zhang Xingyu felt like he was drunk, he was so happy that he was floating!
Zhang Xingyu secretly pinched the palm of his free hand to calm down and said, “This is not because of me, it’s because of you. It’s your own good that makes Lord Li appreciate you!”
Jing Heguang asked in return: “But it’s because of you. Without you, how could I be so good?”
Calm, calm, calm!
Zhang Xingyu blushed, his heart thumping. Jing Heguang is also very good at talking!
***
As soon as the two met, they became as sweet as if they had been together forever, even more so because their separation made them more happy to be together than newlywed now.
When Qin Lu rushed to receive the guests, he saw the young couple holding hands and walking together talking and laughing.
Qin Lu glanced at the hands of the two, and the smile on his face became stronger: “Brother-in-law is late. I have bother brother Heguang to pick up Xing’ger.”
Jing Heguang introduced him to Zhang Xingyu: “This is brother-in-law. His surname is Qin.” He said to Qin Lu, “Brother-in-law, this is my husband, Zhang Xingyu, the ger you have always wanted to see.”
Zhang Xingyu was a little worried at first, but when he saw Qin Lu’s sincere and kind smile, he immediately relaxed a lot.
However, following Qin Lu’s smiling gaze, Zhang Xingyu glanced at him and Jing Heguang interlaced hands.
He is a little annoyed that he made Jing Heguang got laughed at…
Zhang Xingyu let go of Jing Heguang’s hands in embarrassment, and said politely: “Hello, brother-in-law! Xing’ger afraid I’m going to bother you.”
“Xing’ger, make yourself comfortable.” Qin Lu approached and took Xing-ger’s arm, “There are not many people in this house, so by staying here you can also accompany me too. By the way, why did you come here by yourself? It’s so far away, it’s really worrying.”
Zhang Xingyu looked at Qin Lu as if he wanted to leave first, looked back at Jing Heguang, and then turned back to Qin Lu.
“I originally planned to wait for Heguang at home, but I have been dreaming about Heguang a while ago, so I was really worried, thus I couldn’t help but come here by myself.”
Jing Heguang watched Qin Lu take Zhang Xingyu away with two words in front of him that he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry while carrying this baggage.
That was his husband he hadn’t seen for a long time! How come he was kidnapped?!
But after listening to the content of Qin Lu’s chat, Jing Heguang felt that this was good.
In front of him, Zhang Xingyu only said ‘I really want to’, so he was very embarrassed.
But at this moment, ‘I always dream of Heguang’, ‘I’m really worried’, ‘I can’t help it’…Everything!
Jing Heguang was very happy to hear this and followed him obediently without any objection at all.
***
Coincidentally, as soon as the three of them sat down, Li Wenxin led the people back to the city.
Li Wenxin went to the yamen first, finished his work quickly, and then returned.
Jing Heguang was listening to Qin Lu and Zhang Xingyu talking about their experience in making clothes when they heard Li Wenxin’s voice.
“I’m back!”
Li Wenxin’s voice sounded first, and then Li Wenxin entered the room.
He didn’t care to talk to Qin Lu or greet the new guest Zhang Xingyu. He looked at Jing Heguang first.
“Good brother! Thi brother has lived up to your trust and found out the evidence that those people committed perjury. Then I used that person as a mouth to break through all the remaining witnesses. Now it can be proved that your mother is innocent, and we can start the trial tomorrow!”
“Really?!”
The first person to speak out was the excited Zhang Xingyu.
After he finished speaking, he held Jing Heguang’s hand and said, “Look, the case is about to be solved. Mother won’t be wronged anymore. You did it!”
In fact, Jing Heguang was very confident. However, seeing Zhang Xingyu so excited and happy, he couldn’t help but feel happy.
“Yes, I did it!” Jing Heguang hugged the excited Zhang Xingyu.
Qin Lu and Li Wenxin looked at each other and smiled.
After the joy, the three of them understood how Li Wenxin solved the case.
It turned out that Li Wenxin had been prepared before going. He found that the people of the Jing family had become more ‘superstitious’ in recent years.
Therefore, on the first day Li Wenxin arrived, he frightened those involved in the pond sinking with a dark face.
That night, a few short yamen officials were selected to pretend to be ghosts to scare people, and then they successfully captured the people who were paying homage to Jing Heguang’s mother!
There were many people who participated in the pond sinking, but in fact, most of them were fooled.
Jing Pingdong arranged the plan and let the scoundrel harass the original mother. These people saw the ‘truth’, therefore they participated in the pond sinking. That’s why they didn’t dare to question Jing Pingdong even if they had any doubts.
Later, they received some benefits in the name of the clan, so they hid the doubts they later discovered in their hearts.
However, these people are not like Jing Pingdong, who has more or less conscience. After realizing something wrong later, they can’t forget it in their heart.
During the day, they were shocked to see that lord magistrate came to investigate the case in person; at night, they encountered a ‘ghost’, so they couldn’t help but want to pay homage to the dead.
After catching the first one, Li Wenxin said he would be lenient if they confessed, and soon everyone who had committed perjury confessed!
When Li Wenxin returned, Jing Heguang and Zhang Xingyu sat for a while, then returned to the small courtyard where they lived.
Zhang Xingyu was tired from work. After taking a bath, sleepiness came over him, so he lay down on the table and fell asleep.
After Jing Heguang came out of the bath, he found Zhang Xingyu asleep on his stomach.
Jing Heguang kissed him on the cheek, picked him up and put him on the bed with a distressed look on his face.
The sudden change of place and posture made Zhang Xingyu a little uncomfortable in his dream.
However, Zhang Xingyu unconsciously moved closer to Jing Heguang, calmed down again, and fell asleep.
Is he a sleeping pill?
Jing Heguang smiled, turned over and fell asleep on the bed.
Jing Heguang didn’t even realize that he was used to sleeping inside. When the newlyweds fell out of bed last time, as long as the two of them slept together, Zhang Xingyu would sleep outside, leaving the inside for him.
After the two had a sound sleep in the afternoon, they had dinner with Li Wenxin’s family in the evening.
After dinner, Jing Heguang and Zhang Xingyu lay on the bed and read Jing Heguang’s outing diary.
Zhang Xingyu was very happy at first. Even if Jing Heguang asked him to read each word, he still found it interesting.
Through these words, it is like walking those roads with Jing Heguang.
Jing Heguang wrote the characters at the beginning very simple.
Zhang Xingyu agreed to kiss him for every word he didn’t know, so Jing Heguang would also teach him.
Then after a while…Zhang Xingyu regretted it!
Why are there so many words he doesn’t recognize at the end!
His mouth was almost numb from kissing!
Jing Heguang is simply scarier than the teacher when he was a child!!
Hearing the sound of the night watch outside, Zhang Xingyu closed his notebook and coaxed Jing Heguang: “There will be a trial tomorrow, let’s go to bed early.” Though he had slept for a long time in the afternoon, he doesn’t want to sleep now at all.
Jing Heguang glanced at him and realized that Zhang Xingyu didn’t look sleepy but he still closed the notebook.
Sure enough, as soon as the book was closed, Zhang Xingyu’s big eyes flashed with excitement.
Jing Heguang was so amused that he hugged the personand said, “Then we won’t read it anymore. We’ll talk about it another day.”
Zhang Xingyu nodded like a chicken pecking rice: “Okay, okay, another day.”
Unexpectedly, Jing Heguang added: “I discovered that Xingxing is my lucky star. You see, lord Li appreciated me because of you. As soon as you came here today, the case was solved!”
Zhang Xingyu:…
“What are you doing?!”
“Baby, bless me more. You don’t want to sleep anyway, right?”
Zhang Xingyu: “I want to sleep…”
Jing Heguang looked pitiful: “you’re not willing to let me have a part of your blessing?”
There’s no such thing as unwillingness.
Zhang Xingyu’s armor broke, so he said with a doting smile: “I-am-willing!”
The author had something to say: Wow, I want to act like a spoiled child too.
T/N: Hey I also want to act like a spoiled child too!
