Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 429: Sadness in the Heart

"My wife, are you worried about Ling Shijun's affairs?"

A gentle voice came from behind Gu Qingyuan.

When she looked back, she saw Ji Mingzhao holding a food box in his hand and seemed to be going out.

"Hey, Zhao, where are you going?"

Ji Mingzhao was wearing a light blue robe today, and because the weather was a bit cold, he also put on a moon-white cloak on the outside.

The hem of his clothes was embroidered with cloud patterns in silver thread, as if there were light clouds swirling around, and he had a jade belt tied around his waist, making him look gentle and elegant.

Hearing Gu Qingyuan ask him this, he raised the food box in his hand and gestured to Gu Qingyuan.

There is an unbreakable tenderness in those bright yet gentle eyes.

"Didn't they say that Ling Shijun had given birth? I asked the master for permission and brought some food I made myself to visit him and his wife's child."

Gu Qingyuan did not hide the affairs of Tianji Pavilion from her husbands at home, and they did not ask too much about the matters involved.

There was sincerity in his eyes, as well as concern for Lingyu.

Gu Qingyuan looked behind him and saw Xiaohan, who had been taking care of Ji Mingzhao, hurried over.

Seeing the two of them, Xiaohan walked over to them and explained, "I had a stomachache just now, so I came out late."

Ji Mingzhao was afraid that Gu Qingyuan would blame Xiaohan, so he spoke up for him: "It's like this, Xiaohan has had stomach discomfort these past few days. I originally wanted to let the other servants go with me to visit Ling Shijun, but Xiaohan insisted on accompanying me."

Gu Qingyuan smiled and said, "I was just about to ask why you were the only one here. I feel relieved now that I see Xiaohan."

However, Xiaohan didn't know any martial arts after all, and Gu Qingyuan was worried about any accidents on the way, so he sent another person to go with them.

After watching them get on the carriage heading to Tianji Pavilion, Gu Qingyuan turned around and went back.

On the carriage.

Xiao Han said cheerfully, "Mr. Ji, I heard that Ling Shijun also gave birth to a boy!"

At first he was worried that if even this latecomer, Ling Shijun, could give birth to a daughter for the young master, wouldn't that be further proof that Ji Cefu's belly was not up to the task?

Now, all the children born to Lianling Shijun are boys. In comparison, the one born to their family’s concubine Ji is at least the eldest son!

Ji Mingzhao didn't say anything and pursed his lips.

He suddenly thought of his wife sighing at the door just now. Could it be that his wife actually thought that Zhong Huailing Shijun also gave birth to a boy?

Thinking of this, he suddenly became nervous.

So, she actually likes girls more, right? That's why she's so kind to her master, so kind that he even feels a little envious.

He still held the food box in his hand, but his eyes inadvertently looked out the window.

The streets were bustling with people, and the sounds of various vendors were intertwined.

Ji Mingzhao looked at the bustling scene outside the carriage and felt as if there was a hole in his heart, making him even more desolate.

Xiaohan didn't understand. He didn't say anything wrong, so why did Ji Cefu suddenly become a little sad?

The carriage arrived at the door of Tianji Pavilion.

Ji Mingzhao got out of the carriage with the help of Xiaohan.

After entering, Ye Wu saw that it was Ji Mingzhao coming and hurriedly walked out from the counter.

Ji Mingzhao saw a long-haired, somewhat cold "woman" walking towards him. He involuntarily took a step back, as if to keep some distance from that person.

However, when the man came closer, he found that he looked surprisingly familiar, and as soon as he spoke——

"Mr. Ji." Ye Wu shouted.

When he heard the man's voice, Ji Mingzhao immediately remembered who it was.

"You are... Ye Wu, Ye Shijun?"

Ye Wu nodded and asked, "Are you here to see the Lingyu?"

Ji Mingzhao said "hmm".

Ye Wu took him inside, while the people Xiaohan and Gu Qingyuan sent to protect them stayed outside and waited.

After entering, Ji Mingzhao looked around the environment in Tianji Pavilion.

This place looks very big and is located in a remote area with few people living around.

When he came over, he saw that there was no one around and almost thought he had taken the wrong road.

The interior of Tianji Pavilion is relatively simple, but it has everything it needs.

After a while, Ye Wu came to the door of Ling Yu's room and stopped. He said calmly, "It's right here."

After Qingluan delivered Lingyu's baby, she went to another place to take on a task.

The task of taking care of Lingyu fell on Awang.

Ye Wu knocked on the door and heard Ling Yu's voice from inside, "Wait for me, I'll go open the door."

Then Lingyu got off the bed and ran to the door to open it.

The first person he saw was Ye Wu, and then he saw Ji Mingzhao next to him.

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Lingyu brought them all into the house and poured them tea.

Ji Mingzhao put the food box he brought on the table.

He said: "This is the pig's trotter and pork rib soup I made myself. I stewed it for a whole day."

He started stewing it last night, and the meat is so soft and tender that it melts in your mouth.

Lingyu touched the food box with his finger and asked Ji Mingzhao expectantly, "Can I eat now?"

He had just put the child to sleep and was now hungry.

Ji Mingzhao quickly said, "Of course."

Lingyu picked up the chopsticks and started eating immediately.

Some herbs were added to it, and the ling fish tasted very delicious.

After eating, his eyes lit up and he said, "It tastes so good! Thank you."

Ji Mingzhao said embarrassedly: "Actually, I think the taste is a bit bland, and I thought you need to eat something lighter now."

Lingyu shook his head: "But I think it's just right!"

When he ate those fish raw underwater before, he didn't use any seasoning and just swallowed them in one bite.

Later, he met his benefactor, who told him that it was better not to eat raw food, so he slowly started to eat cooked food.

Lingyu drank up all the soup and asked Ji Mingzhao if he had any more.

"Ah, that's all I did. But if you like, I can tell you how to make it."

The ling fish pricked up its ears and listened carefully.

Ji Mingzhao told Lingyu all the ingredients and emphasized that it needed to be stewed for a while longer.

"I'll remember it!"

Lingyu planned to wait for Ah Wang to come over and let Ah Wang do it according to this method.

Ye Wu didn't sit for long before he got up and left.

Leaving behind Ji Mingzhao and Ling Yu.

Ji Mingzhao asked: "Can I go see the child?"

Ling Yu quickly stood up and said, "Yes, of course."

During her pregnancy, Lingyu ate a lot of nourishing foods, and Youyu also asked someone to buy some goat milk.

So they usually have the milk of lingyu and the goat milk they buy, so they don’t need to hire a wet nurse.

The most important thing is that if other people see the child's appearance, they might be scared to death and say that it is a monster.

Ling Yu brought Ji Mingzhao to the bed and picked up the child.

Ji Mingzhao looked at the sleeping child and thought of when An An was just born, and his heart softened.
