After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

After a few moments, stir-fry evenly, then turn the heat down a little and wait for the sauce to thicken slowly.

As for Xie Shuheng, after washing the pig intestines, he washed his hands several times. Then, seeing that Yunniang was busy, Zhang went to the kitchen and brewed a pot of tea, adding the medicine that she had bought with Yunniang at the pharmacy that day.

She bought it separately.

The doctor said it could be used to enhance one's enjoyment of the meal. I asked the doctor to grind it into powder, and then brought it back to add to my tea.

Xie Shuheng has been taking Chinese medicine these past few days, so her sense of taste isn't very good. Adding it in shouldn't have any effect.

Once everything was ready, I quickly pulled my son back inside to talk.

Xie Shuheng asked, somewhat puzzled, "Did Mother give you anything important to say?"

"Why not say it in front of Yunniang?"

Ever since Yunniang married into the family, my mother has been completely devoted to her.

Now, speaking to him alone, Xie Shuheng felt somewhat puzzled and even found it strange.

Zhang naturally didn't like talking to her son, who had an icy expression.

There's no other way now, I have to say it, and I've done a lot of mental preparation.

He sighed and said, "...This is something I want to tell you privately. Your father had a dream last night and asked me to make sure you tell it."

"These are also things he didn't have time to tell you," Zhang said with a serious expression, and Xie Shuheng also took it seriously.

He said to her, "Mother, please speak freely."

Zhang Meiqing's tone became lighter, as if she wanted to finish speaking about liberation as soon as possible, saying, "Naturally, it's a matter for your offspring."

"..." Xie Shuheng was speechless, his lips twitching. It all boils down to this one thing on his mother's mind.

"Your mother knows you don't like to hear this and that you have your own ideas. But to put it bluntly, we've been exiled to this place, and whether we live or die is entirely up to fate. It's better to have offspring sooner rather than later."

"Besides, if you had someone else in your heart, it would be impossible now. Yunniang is perfect in every way, and I am very satisfied with this daughter-in-law."

Xie Shuheng explained, "Mother, please don't talk nonsense."

"Since you have no one in your heart, and Yunniang is so good, why don't you give her a try? I shouldn't be the one to say about the things between husband and wife, such as sharing a room. But I'm also feeling uneasy right now, and your pace is a bit too slow."

“Let me analyze this for you carefully,” Zhang said, counting on her fingers with an air of importance. “Tell me, Yunniang went to find you all alone, armed with a dagger, and even risked her life to bring you back. Is such a wife truly devoted and loyal to you?”

"..." Xie Shuheng tacitly agreed. He was also quite surprised by this.

"If she has no feelings for you, if she hates you, can your sickly body really hold out until your mother comes?"

"Furthermore, Yunniang has taken care of everything, big and small, since she married into the family. She manages the money perfectly, and she gets up very early to run the business. I have never seen such a capable woman in Bianjing."

Xie Shuheng was actually feeling a flutter in his heart, though he was unaware of Yunniang's thoughts.

However, it is clear that she is very sincere and uniquely caring towards herself.

Then Zhang looked at him and concluded very seriously, "I won't say anything else. I'm just telling you now, Yunniang definitely has feelings for you."

“Your thoughts are deep, and your mother does not know them. But if you betray Yunniang’s deep affection, and if I were Yunniang, and your father betrayed me, I would be filled with unbearable bitterness.”

As she spoke of this, Zhang looked extremely distressed.

Xie Shuheng's heart seemed to be beating faster at this moment.

When talking about Yunniang and his own affairs, he actually felt a sense of anticipation for what the future held.

Indeed, Yunniang is different, unlike any other woman.

It's impossible for him not to be moved by what he's doing now.

She even harbored a faint hope: Could it be that Yunniang... really had feelings for her? Just like her mother had confidently analyzed.

Zhang continued to emphasize his certainty: "Anyway, as a woman, I understand women best. I'm sure I haven't guessed Yunniang's thoughts wrong."

"Therefore, after much thought, I still feel I should tell you. At the very least, we should sleep in the same bed, and there shouldn't be any clear dividing line between us."

The thought of the couple sleeping with something blocking their view made my vision go black.

In fact, Zhang had other preparations.

"How can things progress further without even physical intimacy?"

"Listen to your mother, think it over carefully, okay?"

"Ah."

Xie Shuheng's attitude this time was completely different from the last time.

Last time, Xie Shuheng was very resistant and never even thought about continuing with Jiang Zhiyun.

Now, things have changed somewhat.

For so many years, she has been diligently pampered by her husband at home.

This time, after saying so much and using so much cunning with my son, I am utterly exhausted, yet also feel a great sense of pride.

Seeing that her son had taken her words to heart, Zhang felt relieved and brought over the tea she had brewed. She poured it out gracefully and handed it to her son, saying, "Have some tea. You must be thirsty after all this talking."

She realized she had said the wrong thing after she finished speaking. She kept talking, which meant she wanted to have a sip too.

Then her lips twitched as she wondered what would happen if her son, being considerate, suggested she need tea.

Zhang lowered her head somewhat guiltily, but Xie Shuheng seemed to be thinking about something and drank it absentmindedly.

You're overthinking it. He's not that filial; he talks too much about her.

Instead, he looked at her and said, "Mother, is there anything else? If not, please leave."

"Okay!"

Zhang quickly prepared to leave.

Jiang Zhiyun had intended to call the two to eat from the doorway, but unexpectedly overheard their conversation. It was still about her mother urging her to go to bed, and she found Xie Shuheng still indifferent, which made her feel even more at ease.

She had complete confidence in Xie Shuheng.

Not only did they not have any romantic feelings for each other, but even after sharing a bed for several nights, Jiang Zhiyun could still sense that he was behaving very properly.

Anyway, Xie Shuheng won't fall in love with her, and she won't fall in love with Xie Shuheng either.

If possible, Jiang Zhiyun felt that it would be very suitable for her to become his comrade-in-arms.

Of course, this is all on the premise that they can become friends. Right now, Xie Shuheng's attitude towards him is at most that he doesn't dislike him.

Jiang Zhiyun felt that at her own pace, it might take some time before she could survive under Xie Shuheng's control. She needed to put in even more effort to succeed.

Jiang Zhiyun knocked on the door and smiled, "Mother and husband, please come out together. Dinner is ready now."

"it is good."

Xie Shuheng got up and slowly put on his shoes.

Zhang was the first to walk to the table. She had originally intended to politely decline the pork head and so-called pork intestines that Jiang Zhiyun had prepared.

But when the family sat down at the dinner table, Zhang suddenly couldn't bring herself to say it.

It smells wonderful, with absolutely no strange odor.

Xie Shuheng also stared at it.

Jiang Zhiyun looked at him and said, "You don't need to drink porridge tonight. Let's eat something delicious together."

“None of you have tried these before, husband, please try them first.”
