The little fox is super pregnant, the heir-less boss is spoiling her like crazy
Chapter 107: Black Lotus Commander vs. Fake Gold from the Duke's Mansion
The old lady of the Duke's Mansion passed away, and the funeral lasted for three days. After the funeral, Jiang Shiyun was locked in the ancestral hall. The maids were not allowed to guard it, and a servant was sent to guard the door.
Jiang Shiyun sat on the mat and rubbed his sore knees.
The old woman who delivered food to the door came with Cuizhu.
The door opened, Cuizhu hurried in and squatted beside Jiang Shiyun.
"Miss, are you okay?"
"No problem."
Cuizhu saw that she had lost some weight, and she straightened her coat out of concern, then comforted her, "Young lady, don't worry, the master has agreed to let you go. The emperor has already made the decision, and you and Miss Xian will marry into the Crown Prince's mansion together."
Jiang Shiyun stood up and said "hmm", indicating that she should continue.
"However, the Emperor has sent Supervisor Lou with the Imperial Household Department to deliver the wedding gifts. The Master is waiting at the door right now. I ask you to change into mourning clothes and then go over."
Cuizhu carefully helped Jiang Shiyun up. Seeing that her expression was not very good, she asked worriedly, "Miss, if not, I will go and tell the master that you..."
Jiang Shiyun said calmly, "No, this is the emperor's decree, how can I not accept it? Cuizhu, there's no need to look for any clothes, this one is perfect for you."
When Jiang Shiyun stepped out of the door, the cold air rushed towards him and he couldn't help shivering.
She reached out to wrap her coat tighter and took the hot water bottle handed to her by Cuizhu.
The world outside was still covered in white, reflecting the fluttering white mourning clothes on her body. She raised her eyes and looked up, only to find the sunlight a bit dazzling.
"Miss, someone is already waiting at the door, please hurry up."
Jiang Shiyun retracted her gaze and reached out to touch her lower abdomen. She suddenly felt full of strength and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
The white mourning banners in the Duke's Mansion had not yet been removed, and the snow-covered ground gave people a biting chill.
Lou Jingyuan was tall and slender, holding a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand. He stood at the gate of Jiang Mansion, facing Duke Jiang.
Duke Jiang was in a bad mood. He had never liked Lou Jingyuan. How could a eunuch shamelessly control the government and have such an inappropriate relationship with an unmarried woman?
But the emperor loved him very much. Such an incident happened and their family lost an old lady, but this eunuch only knelt in the snow for a few days before being allowed to announce the decree.
A cold wind blew, and Lou Jingyuan couldn't help coughing, and immediately covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
Xiao Liuzi stepped forward, wanting to lend a hand to Lou Jingyuan, and asked worriedly, "Director, are you okay?"
"No problem..." Lou Jingyuan waved his hand, signaling Xiao Liuzi to retreat. He caught a glimpse of a figure walking in the distance and subconsciously stood up straight.
Xiao Liuzi looked at his frighteningly pale face and increasingly thin body, and the worry in his eyes became even more intense.
The factory supervisor has always lived in poverty. He has not been in good health since he was a child. The old nanny who always followed him took extra care of him in winter.
Later, the old nanny died, and the factory supervisor would always fall ill in winter.
The factory director had been kneeling in the snow for the past few days. His body had long been unable to hold on, and until yesterday, he actually fell directly into the snow.
The emperor then ordered the factory supervisor to go back and prepare to deliver the imperial edict to Jiang Mansion the next day.
Who knew that when he arrived, Duke Jiang would not let him into the mansion and only let him stand outside. With the cold wind blowing, the factory director's body might not be able to hold on for long.
Jiang Shiyun led Cuizhu to Lou Jingyuan. Seeing him take a step back, he casually asked, "Director Lou, what do you mean?"
Lou Jingyuan said, "I have been feeling unwell recently and I am afraid that my illness may have affected you."
Seeing his increasingly frail body, Jiang Shiyun said, "During the winter, you should eat more and take good care of yourself."
She paused for a moment before adding, "Only then can you be a good official."
The first sentence is to show concern, while the second sentence is to avoid suspicion.
Lou Jingyuan nodded: "Of course it should be so. Thank you for your advice. I will definitely take good care of myself and will not delay my work."
Duke Jiang watched the two men chattering back and forth, his face sullen as he urged, "Isn't Supervisor Lou here to read the imperial edict? Please hurry up. My daughter is still in mourning and shouldn't see outsiders."
These words were openly an urging, but secretly a warning to the two of them that the old lady's departure was inseparable from them.
Lou Jingyuan lowered his gaze, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, and read it slowly and lowly. After reading it, he looked down and landed on Jiang Shiyun.
"Jiang Shiyun, receive the order."
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."
Jiang Shiyun reached out to take the imperial edict, and their fingertips accidentally touched each other, and the coolness of his fingertips touched her.
"The imperial edict has been read, so I won't see you off." Duke Jiang didn't want to see this unlucky guy and just wanted to send him off quickly. "Director Lou, there's a recent death in Jiang's family, so I'm sorry I can't see you off."
He deliberately emphasized the word "factory director". This implicit humiliation made Jiang Shiyun stunned, and then he felt indignant for Lou Jingyuan. He was not a eunuch.
When he said this, Lou Jingyuan heard another meaning behind his words.
Duke Jiang was reminding him to be aware of his identity.
His eyes fell on Jiang Shiyun. Her cheeks were less fleshy and her body was a little messy, which showed that she was not having a good life.
This little fox is very delicate. Every time she comes to see him, she dresses up beautifully. If her hair is a little messy, she will quietly tidy it up.
He heard about what happened to Old Mrs. Jiang, and he guessed that she was really upset.
Now, it was he who read out the imperial edict, asking her to marry the prince as soon as possible. She must have felt uncomfortable.
Although he had a thousand words to say, Lou Jingyuan couldn't open his mouth. In this situation, he definitely couldn't talk to her.
Thousands of words eventually turn into a simple sentence.
"I hope you take care of yourself."
On the way back, Xiao Liuzi hesitated to speak, but he finally asked, "Director, will Miss Lou really marry the prince?"
"Yes." Lou Jingyuan said in a light tone, "The imperial edict has been issued."
Xiaoliu felt a little uncomfortable. Although he didn't like the unruly Miss Lou very much, the factory supervisor did like her.
His factory supervisor had a very hard life. In fact, he could feel that the factory supervisor liked Miss Jiang. He had seen the factory supervisor staring at a gourd, which was the medicine Miss Lou gave him.
"Little Six."
"Director, the Crown Prince's affairs have been thoroughly investigated. If we report this to His Majesty, perhaps Miss Lou won't need to..."
Lou Jingyuan pressed his temples and said, "No, the time is not right yet. Give orders, everyone must not act rashly."
"Yes." Xiao Liuzi said with some reluctance.
"Also, please guard my house tonight." Lou Jingyuan clenched the hot water bottle in his hand, "Don't let anyone get close. If anyone does, no matter who it is, they will be killed without mercy."
Tonight, he was going to do something, something he didn't know the outcome of.
