Chapter 189 Worries have come true?

"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yu quickly took out a square handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and wiped her mouth.

As soon as Jiang Youning ate a piece of steamed pork with rice flour, she saw Chu Qing vomiting and was also startled, "What's wrong with the Crown Princess?"

Chu Qing wiped the corners of her mouth, raised her head and looked at Jiang Youning, "I'm fine, I just ate in a hurry."

Jiang Youning breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's good, you eat slowly, these are enough."

Ever since Xiao Yu, his wife, and Nan Mianmian came to have a meal, they often didn't have enough food.

Xiao Yu comes in advance every time, and Chuntao's cooking is based on population.

Nan Mianmian was on a surprise mission, specifically picking up food and putting it on the table.

This leads to insufficient food and scenes of people grabbing food.

In order to have enough food for herself, Jiang Youning would cook more meals for each person whenever Xiao Yu and his wife came.

Xiao Yu picked up the tea and rinsed her mouth, "Are you feeling better?"

After Chu Qing rinsed her mouth, she looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Much better, let's eat."

Xiao Yu glanced at Chu Qing a few more times uneasily, and saw that she picked up the chopsticks, picked up the spicy beef and put it into her mouth. She didn't vomit again, so she looked away and continued eating.

Jiang Youning felt a lot more relieved after seeing him.

Xiao Yu served Chu Qing spicy beef and pickled fish. These two dishes were the ones Chu Qing served the most and she finished them all.

Only the meat in her bowl was not eaten.

Xiao Yu thought she was tired of eating, so he didn't ask.

After finishing lunch, Chu Qing wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "Spicy beef is really delicious."

Jiang Youning smiled and said: "Of course, people who like spicy food will like this dish."

Xiao Yu took a sip of tea and said, "Indeed, I quite like eating it."

Chu Qing glanced at Xiao Yu. He was obviously a prince who had no shortage of food and drink, but he looked like a commoner who had never tasted delicacies from the mountains and seas.

However, the food at Lingxi Yuan is not available outside.

In the dead of night, Xiao Yu watched his wife take off her clothes and go to bed, but still didn't ask him to sleep with her. Why was his wife different from other people's?

Jiang Youning looks forward to Xie Jing's return every day.

Chu Qing wished he would not come back.

Seeing that the person was already in bed, my hope was shattered.

Xiao Yu took out a delicate small box from her arms, which she bought when she went to Suzhou.

I originally gave it to her last night, but because of a misunderstanding, I got excited and forgot to give it to her.

He put the box in his hand and walked to the bedside. He looked into the bed and saw Chu Qing looking up at him, as if he had guessed that he was coming.

Also, she studied martial arts and her hearing was better than ordinary people, so it was normal for her to know that he was here.

"daughter in law."

Chu Qing asked: "Is something wrong?"

Xiao Yu took two steps forward and sat down by the bed. He looked at Chu Qing again, "I have something to give you."

Chu Qing's eyes flashed with curiosity and asked: "What is it?"

Xiao Yu handed the box in his hand to Chu Qing, "I bought this in Gusu. I wonder if you like it?"

Chu Qing stared at the box in his hand for a while, then reached for it, then slowly opened it with curiosity, and found a ruby ​​ring inside. Under the weak candlelight, the ruby ​​gave off a strange light.

Xiao Yu asked: "Do you like it?"

Chu Qing nodded, "It's quite beautiful."

Xiao Yu raised his lips when he heard this, "I'll help you take it up."

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, and seeing how much he looked forward to it, she nodded, "Okay."

Xiao Yu took the ring from her hand, held up her ring finger with his other hand, and slowly put the ruby ​​ring on it.

His mother-in-law once said that giving a ring to someone you like and then wearing it yourself is tantamount to trapping that person.

Now, he has trapped Chu Qing, and she can't run away.

Xiao Yu looked at her slender knuckles, which were as white as jade, making the gems even brighter and more alluring.

His wife looks good in anything she wears.

Chu Qing looked at the ruby ​​ring on her knuckles, then at Xiao Yu, all the while staring at her hand.

Xiao Yu had seen enough and said, "You continue to sleep, I will go to sleep too."

Chu Qing watched Xiao Yu stand up and leave, and shouted, "Xiao Yu."

When Xiao Yu heard this, he stopped and looked back at Chu Qing, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"My wife wants to sleep with me?"

Chu Qing; "...No."

The surprise in Xiao Yu's eyes disappeared when he heard this, "Does the wife have something to tell me?"

Chu Qing pursed her lower lip and said, "Be careful at night to avoid catching a cold."

When Xiao Yu heard this, his peach blossom eyes smiled. His wife was caring about him, which was a good sign.

"I understand, you can go to bed early."

Chu Qing, "Yeah."

Xiao Yu returned to the couch and lay down, looking in the direction of the bed and listening to his breathing to tell whether Chu Qing was asleep.

After waiting for a while, the sound of even breathing came, which meant that Chu Qing had fallen asleep.

My wife sleeps really well.

Xiao Yu sighed. He used to sleep very well, but since he had a wife, his sleep quality has continued to decline.

Ten days later, Jiang Youning still had not heard any news about Xie Jing's return, and couldn't help but become anxious.

She lay on the hanging chair and looked at the trees above her head. The leaves were still turning yellow. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow and one or two pieces would fall off.

After Jiang Youning was stunned for a while, he suddenly sat up and said, "Leng Yu."

The next second, Leng Yu appeared in front of Jiang Youning. He cupped his fists and saluted, "Madam, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Youning said: "Go out and ask if the general is on his way back."

"Yes, madam." Leng Yu took the order and strode out.

Not long after, Leng Yu came back.

"Madam, my subordinates made inquiries in the city and did not hear any news about the general's return."

Jiang Youning looked sad when he heard this, "There's no news at all? Isn't it unreasonable?"

Seeing that Jiang Youning was so anxious, Leng Yu suggested: "If the general comes back, the first person to know is the emperor. Madam, do you want your subordinates to go into the palace to find out?"

Hearing this, Jiang Youning felt that Leng Yu was right. If Xie Jinruo warned him about the war, he would definitely write a letter to the emperor as soon as possible when his teacher returned to the court.

"You go into the palace and inquire about it."

"It's madam." Leng Yu took the order and left the general's mansion again.

Chuntao came out of the kitchen and saw Jiang Youning sitting there in a daze. She was worried and asked: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Youning sighed, "There's no news about the general so far. I'm impatient to wait."

Chuntao comforted her and said, "Girl, General Jiren has his own destiny and will come back safely. Don't worry too much, girl."

Jiang Youning sighed again. She didn't want to worry, but since there was no news from Xie Jing, she was really worried.

In the evening, Leng Yu came back from the palace.

Jiang Youning saw Leng Yu and asked anxiously, "How are you doing? Is there any news about the general?"

Leng Yu shook his head, "Not yet."

Jiang Youning frowned. Even the emperor didn't know. Isn't it over yet?

Leng Yu said: "Madam, don't worry, the general can't be hurt by ordinary people, and his subordinates will also come around and ask for news about the general's return."

Jiang Youning said: "This is the only thing we can do now."

In the past few days, Xiao Yu and Chu Qing came to have dinner more and more frequently.

Jiang Youning didn't think it was a big deal. It would be nice to chat and eat together.

Chu Qing was probably influenced by Xiao Yu, and his face was much thicker than before.

"I want to eat pickled fish and spicy beef."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but said: "You are already angry, and you still eat spicy food?"
