Chapter 40 The road of two people side by side(1/2)

The speeding carriage walked out of the south gate of Jiangxia and arrived at the small ferry closest to Jiangxia.

A man and a woman got out of the car.

Yueying breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn't encounter any interrogation along the way. She finally reached the ferry smoothly. There was a merchant ship bound for Jiangling in the distance.

Before leaving, Zhuge Liang turned around and looked at Yueying in a daze and said.

"I think it's a miracle that the people you like can also like you."

"I wish you and Ji Shu a long life together!"

Yueying said with a sweet smile.

"Thanks!"

After saying goodbye and watching Zhuge Liang board the merchant ship bound for Jiangling, Yueying returned to the carriage and prepared to return to Jiangxia City.

Little did he know that at a noodle stall far away, Ji Shu's chopsticks fell to the ground.

It turned out that Ji Shu met Uncle Ren, the old housekeeper of Situ Mansion, when he came out of the Prefect's Mansion. Ji Shu originally wanted to ask Uncle Ren to stay at home for two days and then arrange for someone to send him to Jianye to meet Qingyu.

However, the old housekeeper said that he wanted to deliver Wang Yun's suicide note to Qingyu as soon as possible and did not want to delay for a moment.

Ji Shu had no choice but to tell the old housekeeper Jianye's specific address and personally escort the old housekeeper to the dock to board the ship.

There were many merchant ships going to Jingzhou at Jiangxia Ferry, but there were very few merchant ships going to Jiangdong. Ji Shu asked the old housekeeper to go to a noodle stall to have a bowl of noodles and wait.

Seeing that Ji Shu's chopsticks had dropped to the ground and he was still staring at the two people who were coming out of a carriage in front of him as if he was distracted, the old housekeeper became a little confused.

"Zi Yuan, what's wrong?"

Ji Shu didn't know what his expression was. He turned his neck stiffly, looked at the old housekeeper and murmured.

"That's my wife."

The old housekeeper took a breath and looked over.

He didn't know Huang Yueying or Zhuge Liang, but saw the man opposite him reluctantly saying goodbye to the woman.

Such a thing can be big or small. If it is just a normal farewell to a friend, it is nothing, but if it is a secret meeting with a lover, it will not sound good. Not to mention that Ji Shu is Sun Ce's right-hand man now. If something like this happens

I'm afraid I'm too embarrassed to see people.

The old housekeeper was Wang Yun's confidant and was responsible for sorting out the information of the Situ Mansion. Only now did he remember that Ji Shu seemed to have eloped with a daughter of the Huang family before going to Jiangdong.

It was said that few women from aristocratic families would be immoral because of colds. The old housekeeper didn't want to cause trouble to Ji Shu and his wife, so he was about to open his mouth to make some excuses, but stopped when he reached his lips.

What if? What if Ji Shu’s wife is really a wanton woman?

The old housekeeper couldn't make up his mind, so he could only look at Ji Shu secretly from the corner of his eye.

Ji Shu frowned and stared at the two people's every move, his face changing.

Ji Shu never expected that Zhuge Liang would be in Jiangxia.

Was it because Zhuge Liang was separated from Cai Mao's army in the last battle and failed to escape to Xiakou, or was it because he ran back to look for Yueying?

Did Yueying send Zhuge Liang away without telling her because of her old friendship, or because she still had some unresolved personal feelings for Zhuge Liang?

Even though he believed in his true love, when he saw her being intimate with another man, his heart still clenched uncontrollably.

"How about you go up and ask?"

The old housekeeper finally couldn't help but come up with an idea.

The old housekeeper thought that if they were ordinary friends, it would be okay if Ji Shu went to say hello; if they were really having a secret meeting with his lover, the long-term pain would be worse than the short-term pain.

In fact, Ji Shu also wanted to go up and ask him face to face, but he knew that if he saw Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang would not be able to leave.

Maybe Yueying hid it from him because of this?

"No need, I believe Yueying won't do that kind of thing."

Ji Shu picked up the chopsticks that had fallen on the ground and put them on the table. He then took out a pair of new chopsticks from the bamboo tube. He stopped looking at them and continued to eat his noodles with his head down.

The old housekeeper was a little surprised.

"Even if that person is her close friend, do you believe they don't have any ambiguity at all?"

Ji Shu stopped eating noodles, put down his chopsticks and looked at the old housekeeper.

Although I am a little jealous, but...

"I believe in Yueying."

"Even if that close friend likes her, do you believe there is no ambiguity between them?"

For some reason, the old housekeeper had a hint of teasing and asked Ji Shu again.

Having been an old man for decades, he could certainly see the affection in the man's eyes.

Ji Shu was a little angry, but...

"I believe it."

The old housekeeper narrowed his eyes.

There was no false emotion in Ji Shu's words. But if so, this person was too defenseless, right?

I didn't expect that there are such young people.

The relationship between the old housekeeper and Ji Shu is actually not that deep, but now I understand a little bit why Qingyu has always been very close to Ji Shu. It won't be too tiring to get along with such a person.

Looking back, Yueying had already got into the carriage and left.

But the old housekeeper still wants to remind the next season book.

"Then if she hid it from you and never mentioned her farewell to this close friend when she returned home, would you also believe that there was no ambiguity between them?"

Ji Shu was a little unhappy, but he still spoke firmly.

"Even so, I believe Yueying will never do anything sorry for me."

"Hehehe~~"

The old housekeeper couldn't help but shook his head and chuckled a few times.

It seemed that there was no need for the old man to say anything.

"Zi Yuan, has anyone told you that you are such a fool?"

······

After bidding farewell to the old housekeeper and returning home, Ji Shu asked the servant and walked straight into the study.

There is a stack of official documents on the desk, and Yueying is engrossed in writing something.

Ji Shu walked over and sat on a chair to the side but hesitated to speak.

Although he was very generous in front of the old housekeeper and he really believed in Yueying, he was still a little irritable in front of Yueying. He didn't know if he should make it clear to Yueying.

Yueying put down the official documents she had just processed, raised her eyes and smiled.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just ate some vinegar today and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."

In the end, Ji Shu was still very unhappy and didn't say anything.

Yueying was a little surprised and quickly came over to look at Ji Shu carefully.

"Don't you hate sour things the most? Why are you still jealous?"

In this era, there was no saying that jealousy was equivalent to jealousy. It is said that this allusion came from the Tang Dynasty.

In order to win over people's hearts, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty wanted to take a concubine for the prime minister Fang Xuanling. Out of jealousy, the wife of the minister interfered and refused to let him. Taizong had no choice but to make the wife of the minister choose between drinking poisonous wine or taking a concubine.

First. Unexpectedly

Mrs. Fang was indeed somewhat staunch, and would rather die than bow her head before the emperor. So she picked up the cup of "poisonous wine" and drank it all in one gulp. When Mrs. Fang finished drinking it with tears in her eyes, she discovered that the cup was not poisonous wine, but poisonous wine.

Strong vinegar with a sweet and sour aroma.

"I don't want to either, someone else will force it into my mouth."

Ji Shu was indignant.

"Um??"

Yueying was a little confused. She raised her right hand, put her left hand on her right arm and made a pose. She tilted her head and winked and said charmingly.

"Then I'll make something sweet for you to eat tonight?"

Ji Shu suddenly trembled!

After being together for so long, how could Ji Shu never taste Yueying’s cooking skills?

That used to be his nightmare.

"Forget it, let the chef come, don't tire you! Sit down, sit down!"

Ji Shu quickly patted the chair next to him to ask Yueying to stop.

Yueying glanced at Ji Shu angrily, sat on his lap, and leaned her head on his shoulder.
