Chapter 197: 197 Call Her Mrs. Jiang

197 Call Her Mrs. Jiang

She knew it. Jiang Danhe wasn’t a disrespectful person. In her daily interactions with him, he was always very considerate towards her thoughts. Therefore, what happened tonight was a little unusual.

Xiaoguo carried the basin to the kitchen and refilled it with cold water. As her gaze swept past the trash can, she suddenly thought of something. Could there be something wrong with the herbs?

Xiaoguo put down the basin and went to the trash can to look for the herbs that were thrown out.

As the cloth bag was normally reused, whenever she threw out the herbs, she would remove the dregs from the bag.

The trash can was also cleared once a day. Coincidentally, it had just been cleared the day before, so the trash can was quite empty. Xiaoguo found most of the herbal dregs inside and laid them on the ground. With the help of the light, she scrutinized each of them carefully.

As expected, after going through them, she realized that something was wrong. There was actually an additional herb inside—immortal grass.

Xiaoguo finally understood the reason. Zhuang Zhuang might have mistaken it for the other herb earlier and added the immortal grass into the herbal pack. This herb was supposed to nourish the kidneys and yang energy. If used singularly, this medicine shouldn’t have such a strong effect. The unfortunate thing was that there was deer antler in the soup. When these two herbs were combined, their effects were doubled. To make the matter worse, the soup was drunk by Jiang Danhe—something bad was bound to happen.

Xiaoguo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Zhuang Zhuang, oh Zhuang Zhuang.”

It was not a problem to use these herbs in small quantities or mix them with other ingredients to make soup. But it would not be advisable to combine them with other herbs that have similar properties. No wonder Jiang Danhe felt so terrible. Fortunately, the amount used was not much so the effects should wear off during his sleep.

She threw the herbs back into the trash can and returned to the house with the basin of cold water. Now that she knew the reason, she didn’t have to worry too much. Since the amount of herbs used was quite small, she could just sponge him down and let his body metabolize the herbs. He should be fine when he wakes up.

Fortunately, he had fainted. If he was still conscious, Xiaoguo would not have known what to do.

If she really had to be with him…

Xiaoguo’s face turned red. She quickly shook her head to get rid of the thoughts in her head and cursed herself silently. What was she thinking?

Looking at the handsome face of the sleeping man, Xiaoguo went into a daze again. What would she do If she really had to do it…

Even if they didn’t do it, the two of them were still husband and wife. It was only natural and reasonable for that to happen between them.

If they were to do it, she didn’t feel quite ready yet. She had a feeling that there was something missing but she couldn’t tell what it was. Somehow it just felt like things were too rushed. She wasn’t mentally prepared for it.

Xiaoguo was extremely conflicted. She rubbed her hair hard until it looked like a chicken nest. To do it or not? That was a big problem.

…

The next day, Jiang Danhe sat up slowly, holding his head. What was going on? Why did his head hurt so much?

He rubbed his head and analyzed the situation. He looked around and realized that this was Xiaoguo’s room. Why did he wake up here?

Everything seemed to be a mystery. Jiang Danhe tried his best to think, but in the end, he could not remember anything. No matter how hard he tried, his head was still empty.

Jiang Danhe got out of bed, put on his shoes, and stepped outside. As soon as he opened the door, he was blinded by the dazzling sunlight. Jiang Danhe took a few steps back and rubbed his eyes in discomfort. What time had he slept until?

“Father, you’re awake?”

Zhuang Zhuang’s excited voice sounded. His father could really sleep. He had already gone out to play a few times before his father woke up.

“Zhuang Zhuang.” When Jiang Danhe saw who it was, he continued to rub his forehead. For some reason, his head hurt so much. “Where’s your mother?”

“Mother is outside. Someone is here to pick up stuff.”

Zhuang Zhuang spoke as he chewed on the sesame stick in his hand.

“Pick up stuff?” Jiang Danhe suddenly realized that they must be here to collect the corn. “That’s right. Today is the day.”

Jiang Danhe patted Zhuang Zhuang’s head and left. He wanted to see if there was anything he could do to help.

He went to the courtyard and saw that there was no one there. Seeing that the door was open, he walked out.

Before he reached the door, he heard the voices of Xiaoguo and a man.

Hearing the laughter outside, Jiang Danhe felt a little uncomfortable, so he quickened his pace.

“Madam Qin, the environment here is really nice. The crops are growing so well. I have not made a wasted trip here.”

Su Changsheng placed his hands behind his back and looked around. With mountains and rivers surrounding the place, it was pretty idyllic.

Xiaoguo looked at Su Changsheng with a fake smile. Although she was agreeing with his words on the surface, she felt like rolling her eyes at him in her heart.

He made it sound so nice, saying that he was free today, so he had tagged along and that it was his chance to take a break. In actual fact, he just wanted to see if she had hidden any corn. He had to make sure by seeing it with his own eyes.

Just a moment ago, he was being all sentimental, and the next second, he kept urging his men to watch and move the corn carefully. Xiaoguo could totally see through the man.

Although Xiaoguo was complaining about him in her heart, she still bantered with him on the surface. Isn’t this all about putting on an act? She could do it too.

“Ahem, wife.”

Just as Xiaoguo was seriously pitting her acting skills against Su Changsheng, Jiang Danhe’s extremely mushy voice sounded.

Xiaoguo almost dislocated her jaw. She turned around with an annoyed expression and looked at Jiang Danhe in disgust. She had told him not to address her like this. What was wrong with him again?

However, with outsiders around, Xiaoguo could not embarrass him. She gritted her teeth and said, “Sigh…”

Under Xiaoguo’s piercing gaze, he stood beside her and said ambiguously, “Sorry, I woke up late…”

Xiaoguo shuddered. It was one thing to call her “wife” and to cling to her arm in such a flashy manner, but what did he mean with those ambiguous words? Did she damage his head when she slapped him yesterday?

She looked at Jiang Danhe. He looked fine, maybe except for his red forehead. Every other part of him looked okay.

Jiang Danhe was thick-skinned and did not care about the gazes of the people around him. He slowly looked up at Su Changsheng and scanned the man with his eyes. “This is?”

Xiaoguo nudged Jiang Danhe, secretly urging him to behave himself. “This is Shopkeeper Su whom I told you about. This is my… husband.”

Xiaoguo really couldn’t stand addressing him in such a cheesy manner. She was so used to calling him Jiang Danhe that she couldn’t bring herself to call him “husband” all of a sudden.

Jiang Danhe was secretly satisfied. He immediately assumed his role as the host of the house, and nodded casually at Su Changsheng.

Su Changsheng was not a fool. Looking at Jiang Danhe’s expression, he understood the reason. He smiled and quietly moved closer to Xiaoguo, deliberately trying to provoke Jiang Danhe. Imitating his behavior, he sized him up and finally, Su Changsheng’s gaze landed on Jiang Danhe’s forehead. “Mrs. Qin’s husband is really charming and handsome.”

Jiang Danhe could not read between the lines. But Xiaoguo could tell that Su Changsheng was mocking him. She coughed awkwardly and secretly glanced at Jiang Danhe’s forehead. She had used too much strength earlier…

Jiang Danhe pulled Xiaoguo away in dissatisfaction. He looked at Su Changsheng fiercely and said word by word, “Please call her Mrs. Jiang.”

As soon as he said those words, Xiaoguo instantly felt the hairs on her back stand up and a chill ran down her spine.

The smile on Su Changsheng’s face froze for a second. Then, he stood a little further away and smiled even more brightly. The two of them stared at each other without saying anything.

Su Changsheng didn’t like the way Jiang Danhe looked at him earlier, and Jiang Danhe didn’t like the man at all. He looked so flashy—how could a man look so much like a woman.

The tense atmosphere between the two men gradually became strange. Xiaoguo was sandwiched between the two of them, and she could feel the mood interchanging between cold and hot. There were several times when she wanted to shout in frustration. What a bothersome pair.

“Young Master, the car is ready.”
