When Su Ningxin changed her clothes and wiped her wet hair when she came out, Chu Jihan was already sitting upright on the chair, with no sign of losing his composure.
"The hot water should be enough. You can go take a shower." There was nothing unnatural about Su Ningxin's posture, and it wasn't a big deal. She had been huddled in the tub. What could Chu Jihan see
Even if they saw it, what would happen? They were husband and wife to begin with, so it was reasonable and legal to see it.
Chu Jihan didn't say anything. He stepped forward and took the handkerchief Su Ningxin used to wipe her hair. He pressed her on the chair and wiped her hair.
Su Ningxin didn't struggle, she held her chin up and let him wipe her hair. When they were on the way, they often stayed at inns and inns. It was hard to sleep separately and make Prince An and his wife suspicious, so they all lived together. .
Chu Jihan didn't like other people in the resting place, so he always sent Su Ningxin's maid out. Seeing that no one was there to dry Su Ningxin's hair, he helped himself. Su Ningxin guessed that he probably wanted to The relationship between the two people was brought closer, so they did not refuse.
"Have you never been pregnant since your concubine gave birth to you?" Thinking about what happened today, Su Ningxin randomly found a topic to chat about.
Chu Jihan wiped his hair and replied a little absentmindedly, "Well, I heard that I was injured when I was giving birth, and I haven't been able to get pregnant again since then."
"But when I diagnosed my mother's pulse, she was in good health and showed no signs of injury. She has been in good health for at least the past three years. Hey~" Su Ningxin suddenly turned around and said, forgetting that her hair was still there. In Chu Jihan's hands, his hair was pulled and he hissed in pain.
Chu Jihan was startled and subconsciously let go, complaining, "Be careful."
Su Ning said angrily, "I know."
Chu Jihan curled up his lips when he saw Su Ningxin's soft look, and then he help her rub her sore scalp distressedly while asking about what Su Ningxin just said, "You mean, my mother-in-law has always been in good health. , but not pregnant?”
"My medical skills are only average. I cannot diagnose whether the concubine has been exposed to things in the past that would make it difficult for her to conceive. However, we can reasonably speculate that the concubine has no health problems but has not been pregnant for twenty years. She left Daming Mansion and came to the capital. I got pregnant just three months ago, isn’t it a coincidence?”
As she said this, Su Ningxin turned around and glanced at Chu Jihan. Fortunately, Chu Jihan was prepared and dragged her hair along with her turning movements, so that Su Ningxin didn't hurt again.
Although Su Ningxin only glanced at it, she was thinking in her heart, "Are you questioning the intuition of me, a little expert in house fighting?" My intuition tells me that the backyard of Anjun Prince's Mansion is definitely a place of intrigue.]
Chu Jihan shook his head and didn't know what to say. Su Ningxin's guess was indeed accurate. There were many aunts and concubines in the backyard of the County Prince's Mansion. They were all married by the father to local famous families in order to gain a foothold in Daming Mansion. So the backyard is a mess.
Originally, those aunts and aunts who competed for favors and played petty tricks had nothing to do with the overall situation. His father, princess, and concubines never paid attention to them, so he didn't pay much attention to them. But if they really dared to attack his mother and concubines so boldly, then he would He will definitely not be merciful.
"Don't be anxious. Taking good care of your mother and concubine is the most important thing now. The others will be investigated carefully when they return to the mansion. They are all young people and should not be feared." Chu Jihan comforted Su Ning and said, fearing that she would be afraid of the backyard of the prince's mansion. He himself will also be involved in those intrigues.
If Su Ningxin knew what Chu Jihan was thinking, she would just laugh and laugh at how naive he was, and put her in the backyard to fight with those concubines. She would let those concubines know what despair is.
"Okay, you go take a shower. The water will be cold in a while." Su Ningxin touched her almost dry hair and said to Chu Jihan.
"Yeah." Chu Jihan didn't refuse this time. He walked around the screen and picked up the bucket of hot water to pour some into the bathtub.
Su Ningxin was just thinking about finding a travel book to read when there was a knock on the door outside, "Girl, do you want a servant to serve you?"
The voice should be frosty white, so Su Ning thought for a while and said, "Come in."
"Why didn't you talk about Shuanghua? I remember she was still in the room at that time?" Su Ningxin asked.
"Shuanghua just went to the kitchen to see if the food was ready. When he came back, he said he felt unwell and went back to his room to rest." Shuangbai explained, and then asked, "Do you want some midnight snack, girl?"
Su Ningxin shook her head. She hadn't exercised much recently, and she would gain weight if she continued to eat. After thinking about it, she still asked uneasily, "What's wrong with Shuanghua? Isn't it because of the sudden change in the weather that she caught a cold?" Someone go and ask a doctor to take a look at her."
"The slave told her the same thing, but she said it was nothing serious and she could just rest." Shuangbai looked distressed.
Su Ningxin knocked on the table and thought for a while, "Forget it, Shuanghua is not a person without sense of measure. If she really needs to see a doctor, she won't shirk it. Let her rest. If she still doesn't feel well tomorrow, we can call a doctor. "
She asked Shuangbai to help her find the travel notes in her luggage, and Su Ningxin asked her to go back and rest.
Not long after Chu Jihan came out of the bath, he saw Su Ningxin leaning on the pillow and reading travel notes, so he came over and looked at Su Ningxin with wet eyes like a large dog, and looked at Su Ningxin pitifully. Ning Xin put a handkerchief in her hand.
Su Ningxin was amused when she saw him like this, "I didn't expect you to be like this Chu Jihan!"]
Chu Jihan's face was slightly red, but in order to please his wife, he didn't want to show any shame, and still persevered in putting the corner of the handkerchief into Su Ningxin's hand.
"Sit tight." Su Ningxin took the handkerchief. Chu Jihan had already dried her hair, so it was okay to help him in return.
After drying their hair, the two of them turned off the lights and rested. Chu Jihan was lying in a standard sleeping position, looking at the bed tent and lamenting his fate. His sleep quality had dropped sharply since he was able to sleep on the same bed as Su Ningxin. Su Ningxin was extremely dishonest and always rolled around after falling asleep, but he could only let Su Ningxin rub into his arms. This was really sweet torture.
Not long after, Chu Jihan heard Su Ningxin's steady breathing, and knowing that she had fallen asleep, he turned to his side and hugged her into his arms, closing his eyes peacefully.
But before Chu Jihan fell asleep, he heard voices and the sound of closing the door outside. Chu Jihan frowned and glanced at Su Ningxin in his arms, and was relieved to see that she was still sleeping peacefully.
She put on her clothes lightly and walked out of the door, but she didn't notice that the moment he closed the door, Su Ningxin slowly opened her eyes, and her clear eyes didn't look like she had just woken up.
