GTB Chapter 250

Chapter 252: Jiuchu, Lying Is Wrong

Seeing the situation, Jiang Jiuchu quickly looked away, thinking to herself, with his shamelessness, and the drama of threatening to kill someone for a mere glance, she couldn’t believe it for a second.

Besides, it’s not like he’s a woman, is it really necessary?

Shí Yan glanced at Jiang Jiuchu’s averted gaze, and went straight to the bronze mirror. When he saw the swollen bump on his forehead, he shook his head in disgust, “It seems the wedding day will have to wait.”

Jiang Jiuchu was startled and immediately turned her head to look at Shí Yan, “What wedding day?”

After she said that, she quickly looked away, because the thin towel around Shí Yan’s waist was really not very effective in the daylight.

Shí Yan looked at Jiang Jiuchu, “Of course, it’s our wedding. I just said, you looked at me, aren’t you going to take responsibility?”

Jiang Jiuchu, while looking down and smoothing out the wrinkles on her sleeves, said, “It’s not like I haven’t seen it before, what responsibility is there to take?”

“That was before. Before, we were husband and wife, you could look whenever you wanted. Now we are divorced, you can’t look. If you look again, you have to take responsibility.”

Shí Yan glanced at his scantily clad body, “Besides, you and I have spent the night in the same room like this, can we explain it clearly if we go out?”

Jiang Jiuchu didn’t look at him, and said calmly, “What’s there to explain? No one else knows. Who do I need to explain it to?”

As she spoke, she got up and walked towards the door before Shí Yan could speak.

“You stand inside, I’ll ask Yu Qin to get you some clothes from my brother’s place.”

However, as soon as she opened the door a crack, she saw the enlarged faces of her parents, with her brother and sister-in-law standing beside them.

Jiang Yuan lowered his hand that was about to knock on the door, and smiled, “Jiuchu, you’re awake.”

“Yes.” Jiang Jiuchu nodded, and immediately wanted to close the door again.

However, Jiang Yuan promptly blocked it with his hand, “Now that Jiuchu is awake, why close the door? Your parents have something to ask you.”

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he squeezed into the room while Jiang Jiuchu was stunned.

Jiang Jiuchu’s face changed, and she immediately turned around to pull Jiang Yuan, “Father, don’t…”

“Son-in-law greets Father-in-law.”

The father and daughter looked at Shí Yan who was cupping his hands and bowing, their expressions changing simultaneously.

Jiang Jiuchu’s small face turned red with embarrassment, and she glared fiercely at Shí Yan with her eyes.

She didn’t expect that he wouldn’t hide, and would appear in front of her father in such a state of undress.

Did he have any shame?

Although Jiang Yuan guessed that the two of them might reconcile, he didn’t expect Shí Yan to appear in his daughter’s room in such a state of undress.

What about the promise not to climb into his daughter’s bed?

He looked at his fairy-like daughter, and suddenly felt that Shí Yan was a pervert who was seducing his precious daughter.

His gaze gradually lost the enthusiasm he had when he came. After all, seeing Shí Yan like this with his own eyes, his old father’s heart was really not happy.

Jiang Jiuche, who followed behind, was also shocked when he saw Shí Yan. As if remembering something, he quickly turned around, wanting to stop Shí Qingya and Madam Ye from coming in.

However, his worries were a bit unnecessary. Shí Qingya and Madam Ye knew that Shí Yan was in the room, and did not blindly rush in.

Jiang Jiuchu vowed that she had never been more embarrassed in her life.

“Father, brother, you… don’t overthink, he…”

“The Emperor… the Emperor had a high fever and fainted last night, so I helped him in.”

After she said that, as if afraid they wouldn’t believe it, she immediately added, “I even called the imperial physician last night. The imperial physician can testify that nothing happened between me and the Emperor.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, then looked at Shí Yan who was only wrapped in a thin towel, “Then the Emperor like this…”

“He like this, it’s not me…”

Before Jiang Jiuchu could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Shí Yan, “Father-in-law, don’t misunderstand. My clothes are like this because the doctor said I needed to take a bath to lower the fever, so Jiuchu took them off for me.”

“You…” Jiang Jiuchu pointed directly at Shí Yan in anger. She thought he was going to help her explain, but she didn’t expect him to say that.

Looking at his pretentious and honest expression, she bit her teeth in hatred, wanting to refute, but couldn’t seem to come up with anything to say.

She had no choice but to look at her brother and father, as well as the two ears peeking in at the door.

“Don’t listen to him, he’s talking nonsense, I… I didn’t take them all off.”

Shí Yan looked down at the bath towel around his waist, and nodded, “Well, you took them all off and then wrapped one on, so let’s say you didn’t take them all off!”

Jiang Jiuchu was about to explode with anger. This matter was already embarrassing enough, but every time she picked up a little dignity, Shí Yan would throw it away.

“Shí Yan, do you have any shame?”

Shí Yan looked at the angry Jiang Jiuchu, and although his heart skipped a beat, he still braced himself and said, “Jiuchu, lying is wrong.”

He had already appeared in front of Jiang Yuan and Jiang Jiuche like this today, what face did he need?

Jiang Yuan raised his hand and coughed, “In any case, a single man and a single woman in the same room, the Emperor must be responsible for our Jiuchu’s reputation.”

Shí Yan cupped his hands, “I will naturally take responsibility.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, then turned and walked out.

Jiang Jiuchu was a little stunned, completely unexpected that her father would not ask her opinion and take the initiative to say this.

She quickly followed to the door, “Hey, Dad, I don’t want him to take responsibility. It’s not me who was seen.”

“Then you take responsibility for the Emperor.” Jiang Yuan felt that since his daughter had let the Emperor into the room and personally served him to bathe, she must still have feelings for him.

Now it was just because the Emperor’s methods were too strong, making his daughter feel uncomfortable with the speed. So he would go along with it for the sake of that box of paintings.

Jiang Jiuchu was a little surprised by her father’s attitude. After a moment of Stunned, she quickly looked at Madam Ye, “Mother, I was just afraid that something would happen to the Emperor in our Jiang residence and implicate us, so I gave him the bed.”

Madam Ye smiled and took her daughter’s hand, “Yes, Mother knows, but in the end, men and women should not touch each other. Since things have come to this, this is the only way.”

Jiang Jiuchu looked at her parents turning to leave, her expression a little confused, feeling that her parents’ attitude had changed a little too quickly.

Could it be that the few meals that Shí Yan had made during this time had reached her parents’ ears, so they were moved?

Jiang Jiuche looked at his helpless sister and asked with a smile, “Do you know what the most important reason is?”

Jiang Jiuchu looked at her brother, “What?”

Jiang Jiuche leaned over and said softly, “Soft-hearted.”

After he finished speaking, he took Shí Qingya down the steps and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Shí Qingya looked back at her sister-in-law, then said to Jiang Jiuche, “These two words are really the essence, otherwise Seventh Brother wouldn’t be able to scheme against Jiuchu.”

As she spoke, she seemed to recall her past with Jiang Jiuche, and shook her head and sighed, “Sure enough, pitying men is just asking for trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiuche, after stepping out of the courtyard, leaned Shí Qingya against the courtyard wall, “Madam, say it properly, is it trouble or sweetness that’s being delivered to the door?”
