As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

After that, the kitchen basically prepared ingredients all the time, waiting for the masters' orders.

Of course, such things are still rare, but Meng Changce seems to have gotten used to the changes in Shen Lanyue after this pregnancy, and he is no longer surprised.

However, Shen Lanyue also noticed that Meng Changce often woke up in the middle of the night. Looking at the dark circles under his eyes, she advised him to go to another room to rest.

But when Shen Lanyue made this suggestion, Meng Changce calmed down and said, "I sleep soundly while holding you."

Shen Lanyue saw that he was not lying, so she didn't mention the matter again.

Maybe the baby in the belly also knows how hard the parents work, so it doesn't show any other reactions.

Shen Lanyue was lying on a rocking chair under a big tree, gently waving the folding fan in her hand while closing her eyes and enjoying it.

"Madam, you are enjoying yourself better and better now." Fanfan teased.

Shen Lanyue opened her eyes, chuckled, and did not refute her words.

"Jiangbei is indeed a good place for retirement, and being away from the capital really makes people feel relaxed."

He nodded in agreement.

A breeze blew, causing the trees to sway. The shadows of the trees were cast on the ground, some of which were reflected on Shen Lanyue's skirt. Another breeze blew up the loose hair hanging by her ears, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye became more lively.

Fanfan suddenly felt that his own young lady was actually more beautiful than the second young lady. It was the kind of pure and unworldly beauty that came from her inherent temperament. The second young lady's beauty was unforgettable, like an exquisite doll.

Maybe she will be attracted to it at first sight, but after a while, she won't want to play with it anymore.

"You really know how to enjoy your life."

A smiling voice interrupted her wandering thoughts. She turned around, greeted Meng Changce, and retreated away.

Shen Lanyue raised her body slightly, her eyes flickered, and the look she gave Meng Changce was gentle, like bright sunshine.

"Thanks to my husband, I will naturally enjoy such days."

Meng Changce just smiled, walked a few steps to her side, stared at her for a few seconds, lowered his head slightly, smiled, and kissed the tip of her nose.

"Ah."

Shen Lanyue was stunned. She had never expected that he would kiss her. She froze for a few seconds and then raised her eyes to look at him.

Meng Changce's eyebrows moved slightly, and he quickly moved his lips away. His gaze stayed on her face for a long time, with endless smile spreading in his eyes.

Shining like a bright pearl, the dazzling Shen Lanyue couldn't dodge in time.

Meng Changce lowered his head and smiled silently, then he held the person in his arms and lay down in the rocking chair.

Shen Lanyue screamed, and after a few breaths, she was lying on top of him.

"Is the matter settled?"

Shen Lanyue put her hand on his eyes. He had lost a lot of weight recently. Although the dark circles under his eyes were not as severe as before, she could still sense the fatigue in his eyes.

Meng Changce's eyes darkened, and a hint of tenderness and doting appeared on his slightly parted thin lips.

"It's almost there." He grabbed Shen Lanyue's hand, rubbed it in his palm, stared at her, and kissed her palm. "Have you been bothering me recently?"

Shen Lanyue smiled.

"No, it's very well behaved."

"That's good."

The two of them often do this now, sitting together or leaning against each other, talking about some irrelevant topics.

Fanfan, who was far away, nudged Fu Beifan with his elbow and said, "Tell me, is the Marquis tired?"

Fu Bei:?

"You see, every time the Marquis came back, he would hug his wife and fall asleep immediately. It was obvious that he was tired. But the wife was not fat. After all, she was a double, so she still had some weight. But the Marquis always had to hold his wife in his arms before he fell asleep."

Fu Bei looked at her with a complicated look.

"Have you never liked anyone?" Fu Bei asked this out of embarrassment.

"..." She rolled her eyes at him and said "Hehe"

"Hey, what are you doing to me..."

……

After Meng Changce had a nap at Shen Lanyue's place, he left the mansion again.

In a private residence of the Jiang family, a group of people had been waiting for a long time. From time to time, someone would look towards the gate to see if the person they were waiting for had arrived.

"Can you please stop wandering around in front of us? It's hurting my eyes!"

"I am in a hurry, but you are not."

"What's the rush? It's not like you haven't seen him before."

"How can it be the same? How can the one I saw when I was a child be the same as the one I see now? And I heard that this kid looks a lot like his father now. Really, can't he look a little more like my little sister?"

Uncle Jiang: ...

The one who kept shaking was Jiang Xu's fourth brother, who was also Meng Changce's fourth uncle.

The two were about to quarrel again when the head of the Jiang family, who had been drinking tea, said, "Isn't he here?"

At this time, Meng Changce, dressed in black, appeared at the door. There was no gentleness in his eyes as he showed in front of Shen Lanyue. Instead, his whole body revealed a subtle sharpness.

Meng Changce looked around and said, "Changce greets the second uncle, the fourth uncle, and all the uncles."

Uncle Jiang grabbed the armrests of the chair and responded with a choked voice.

Only Jiang Si ran to his side, looked him up and down, snorted, turned his back and sat down.

He didn't show any of his anxiety just now.

"He really looks like your father."

The head of the Jiang family took a look, narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.

Meng Changce was silent for a moment. He lowered his eyelids and said, "The princess once said that my eyes are most like my mother's."

Jiang Si was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Meng Changce, then looked away and fell silent after a while.

"Okay, fourth brother, you are the one who wants to see him the most. Now that he is in front of you, why are you being so awkward?" The head of the Jiang family finally broke the situation.

"Nephew, you know that mother once told me that the person she was closest to was fourth uncle." Meng Changce spoke very slowly: "Since mother passed away, nephew has never seen fourth uncle, you have reason to be angry."

Jiang Si choked and sighed as he looked at Meng Changce, a handsome man with a sharp and cold look in front of him.

"It's the regret in my heart that I can't get over. I know it was never your fault. If he doesn't let you come back, you can never come back in this life."

Meng Changce looked at Jiang Si who was sighing and shaking his head with a wry smile: "Fourth Uncle, I will come back eventually. This is the place he fears the most, not me."

Jiang Si was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Good boy, this is like your father!"

On the corners of Meng Changce's black robe were embroidered large red lotus flowers, which blossomed brilliantly, reflecting the sharp black in his eyes, making people fall into it and fall into the abyss, where they could only surrender.

He has been in contact with the head of the Jiang family, but he has never met his other uncles, especially Jiang Si.
