...

As night fell, lights were on, and the busy public rooms in the front hall of the Military Governor's Office gradually became quiet.

"call……"

Standing in front of the second floor, looking at the brightly lit street market in the distance, Liu Ce sighed, turned around and walked downstairs toward the area where he lived in the backyard.

"I've seen the Marquis..."

In a blink of an eye, Liu Ce couldn't help but come to Song Yanran's room. The two maids at the door hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to pay a blessing.

Liu Ce raised his hand and asked them to get up and asked, "Is the second wife here?"

One of the maids replied: "Report to the military governor, Mrs. Song went out to appease the families of soldiers who died in Hanling since noon, and has never returned yet..."

Liu Ce nodded and stopped talking, turned around and left, strolled towards Jiang Ruoyan's room.

Liu Ce must make some clear statements with her, otherwise he would be really afraid that Jiang Ruoyan would lose her nature and get deeper into it.

"I've seen the Marquis..."

When they arrived in front of Jiang Ruoyan's main room, two maids at the door gave Liu Ce a blessing.

Liu Ce also raised his hand and asked, "Is the Madam of the Imperial Palace inside?"

One of the maids replied respectfully: "Does Mrs. Jiang need a servant to summon me?"

"No need..." Liu Ce stepped into the room and said to the two maids, "I can just go in by myself, you can all retreat for the time being..."

He came all the way to Jiang Ruoyan's room on the second floor and happened to meet Xuan'er, the close maid who served Jiang Ruoyan.

Xuan'er is fifteen years old this year. When Jiang Ruoyan was wandering around the West Street, she saw her standing in rags on the corner and performing with her old father. She couldn't help but feel pity and took her back to the house to be a maid.

After washing and dressing up and changing into a new dress, Tingting, who was also out of the blue, was the most important thing. She was smart and sweet, and served Jiang Ruoyan very comfortably, so she stayed by her side as a personal maid and also placed a house for her family in the city...

Xuan'er is very grateful to Jiang Ruoyan. She is really serving her wholeheartedly. Compared with Wan'er, who has been young since she was a child, it is no less than Wan'er.

Before Xuan'er could speak, Liu Ce asked softly, "Is Madam inside?"

Xuan'er nodded and said, "Report to the Marquis, the wife has just finished washing and is sleeping on her face..."

Liu Ce Weizhe Tongren said, "I understand..."

After saying that, Liu Ce strode into the room and closed the door.

"It's the first time I've been in contact with the military governor so close..."

Xuan'er looked at the closed door, her eyes full of confusion. Her heart beat like a few words from Liu Ce just now.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old has a mentality of spring and is full of yearning for love...

Although Xuan'er knew that her identity was too different from Liu Ce, she still couldn't change her longing for a better life...

Liu Ce came to the inner room and saw Jiang Ruoyan lying on the side of the pillow on the wide couch, her fresh and beautiful eyes slightly closed, just like a drunken concubine.

Lifting up the porcelain pot on the table, Liu Ce poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one sip. He walked slowly to the edge of the couch, sat down quietly, and looked at her quietly.

"Husband, are you here?"

It took a long time before Jiang Ruoyan woke up and saw Liu Ce sitting next to the couch, and hurriedly got up and smiled sweetly at him.

Liu Ce lightly glanced at his eyes, reached out to stroke Jiang Ruoyan's slightly messy hair horns, and said softly: "Are you very tired? You went to bed so early?"

Jiang Ruoyan lightly tapped her head and said, "Yes, these days are somehow very sleepy, and she feels a little tired as soon as she moves..." As she said that, Jiang Ruoyan pressed her forehead, her face full of fatigue.

Liu Ce took off his shoes, leaned his body against the couch, and said with concern: "Or, find a doctor to see if you don't have any disease..."

Jiang Ruoyan said "um" and faced Liu Ce, leaned on the couch with one arm, and whispered: "Husband, do you have something to say to me when you are worried?"

Liu Ce took a deep breath and said, "Ruoyan, if you have anything to say in the future, just tell me directly. We are married, why do you have to be so disgusted? Jiang Ze is Jiang Ze, you are you, I will not take my anger against you because of your Jiang family..."

Jiang Ruoyan was startled and said with a sad expression: "Sorry, husband, I am really afraid that you will have prejudice against me, I am really afraid that you will ignore me in the future.

You know, I came from a noble family and saw too many ugliness. There are too many facts about the husband's family turning against him and snatching his wife and children. I am really afraid that one day this kind of thing will fall on me.

Husband, I am really scared. You didn’t come to see me a few days ago, so I thought of asking Mr. Qin to help..."

"Ruoyan, you are thinking too much..." Liu Ce grabbed her hand and said, "Your husband, I am not like this. I didn't even vent my anger from Jiang Ze's wife and children. How could I vent my anger from you?

But these days, there are too many facts to deal with, so I neglected you. I just finished some official duties today. I am afraid that you will have time to accompany you. You are really worried..."

Liu Ce's words were like a reassurance, which completely relaxed Jiang Ruoyan's nervous mood. She looked at him with a smile on her face, and finally blinked her beautiful eyes: "Thank you, husband..."

Liu Ce raised his lips lightly and said to Jiang Ruoyan: "Today, I will rest here. Should you serve Ruoyan..."

Jiang Ruoyan was stunned when she heard this, then her pretty face turned red, she tried hard to get up, shook her head and said, "Husband, I'm afraid I can't serve you in the next few months..."

Liu Ce frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"

"You, don't you understand this?" Jiang Ruoyan showed a coquettish look and smiled, looking at Liu Ce with a pair of beautiful eyes affectionately.

Looking at Jiang Ruoyan's charming posture, Liu Ce thought for a moment and suddenly stood up. His pupils suddenly magnified and he asked in a trembling voice: "Ruoyan, you mean you have..."

Jiang Ruoyan nodded gently holding her abdomen and responded: "Yeah..."

After receiving Jiang Ruoyan's affirmative answer, Liu Ce was extremely excited and hurriedly put his head on her stomach and asked casually: "How many months have you been? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Jiang Ruoyan said, "The doctor said it was almost three months. Seeing that you were busy with official duties, I didn't have time to tell you..."

"From now on, don't move anywhere, just stay nearby. Also, the floor is too high, so move to the first floor..."

Liu Ce paced back and forth in the house, and kept starting to arrange the matter of Jiang Ruoyan's baby care. Jiang Ruoyan was full of joy and kept smiling...

After a long time, when Liu Ce finished speaking, Jiang Ruoyan said, "Okay, husband, don't worry. I will take good care of myself. If it's getting late, go back first. If I can hear you say this today, my heart will be at ease..."

Liu Ce nodded, hurriedly asked Jiang Ruoyan to lie down, covered her with a quilt, and comforted her for a few more words before tiptoeing out of the house.

As soon as she went out, she saw Xuan'er still staying outside the door, and said to her: "I'll ask you to take care of Ruoyan more during this period. Do you know that she is pregnant..."

Xuan'er was shocked and bowed and said, "Congratulations to the Marquis, congratulations to the Marquis, please rest assured. This is my duty, and I will definitely take care of Mrs. Jiang more carefully..."

"Well..." Liu Ce responded, and then walked downstairs with great strides.

As soon as he left the room, Liu Ce happened to catch up with Song Yanran and Xue Ruyuan back from outside the mansion, so he hurriedly chased after him.

When Xue Ruyuan saw Liu Ce coming, she hurriedly saluted to him and said, "I have met the Marquis..."

Liu Ce nodded, then looked at Song Yanran, his eyes full of pity. Seeing this, Xue Ruyuan knew how to go back to her room first.

Since Song Yanran got married to Liu Ce, she has performed her duties and has managed nearly a hundred people from all over the mansion in an orderly manner.

Moreover, without saying anything more, Liu Ce took the initiative to contact the Hanling people who fled to Jizhou for him and comforted them, and indeed shared a lot of his burden for Liu Ce.

Liu Ce has never treated this girl who first met her, and now the second wife in the Military Governor's Office has been unfair, and the treatment she gave her was even more than Jiang Ruoyan.

Song Yanran smiled at Liu Ce, bowed slightly and said, "Husband, have you finished your business?"

Liu Ce nodded: "Yes, I'm done. I haven't seen you in your room, so I went to Ruoyan's room to sit for a while. I don't want to meet you as soon as I come out. Don't be too busy. Look at what time it's now..."

Song Yanran's pretty eyes were shining, she tilted her head slightly and stared at Liu Ce for a while, and suddenly she giggled and said, "Husband, why are you looking at me like this? This has been a day or two, isn't it strange?"

Liu Ce smiled and said, "I was just thinking, if one day you suddenly disappear, I really don't know if I can adapt..."

"What's wrong with it?" Song Yanran said angrily, "With your husband's current status and charm, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a beautiful woman to follow you?"

Liu Ce said: "There are countless beauties, but Song Yanran has only one. You are unique..."

Song Yanran blushed when she heard this, and she stomped her feet and said, "You... are both husband and wife, and they are still so stingy..."

Liu Ce showed an evil smile on his face: "Yes, they are all husband and wife, so should the wife do her duty tonight?"

"I……"

Before Song Yanran could speak, Liu Ce picked her up in the waist.

In amazement, Song Yanran instinctively stretched out her arms around Liu Ce's neck to prevent herself from falling. She was about to scold her but she looked at her eyes.

The hot and warm gaze made Song Yanran feel her heartbeat faster, her cheeks were hot, and she couldn't help but call out: "Husband, you..."

Liu Ce said gently: "You have been tired for a day, so let me carry you back for the rest of the road..."

"Um……"

Song Yanran responded softly, then buried her head in Liu Ce's generous arms, closed her eyes and felt the happy and sweet time, allowing him to hold himself and walk towards the room step by step.

Not far away, Xue Ruyuan, who was hiding in the dark, was watching Song Yanran leave in Liu Ce's arms, couldn't help but hold her shoulders tightly, as if dispelling the cold brought by winter.

"I want him to hug me like this..."

After Liu Song's pair disappeared behind his eyes, Xue Ruyuan couldn't help but turn around and lean against the wall, hugged herself tightly with both hands, her face full of expectation, and soon she breathed quickly, and a hint of blush appeared.

“There will be a chance…”
