Chapter 752: Chapter 526: Loving Couple

It got colder again in the evening. Zhou Ying leaned against the fire, holding a book, pretending to flip through it, but in reality, her eyes were always on her husband beside her.

She would sneak a smile from time to time.

No matter what the reason for their marriage back then, at least now, they were very much in love, with deep affection.

The skills she learned from her mother in the early years, managing the wives and concubines in the rear courtyard, never got to be used. Instead, because she was the only lady of the house, the servants dared not play tricks, making everything feel so at ease.

Whenever she had some free time, she would ponder about the village shop, discussing money-making ideas with her husband. These past few years have been extremely pleasant.

Last year, her father was also transferred to the Capital City. Her husband told her that she could visit her mother’s house anytime she wanted, without having to pick a specific day.

This was much more liberating than most noble ladies in the Capital City. Naturally, it was normal for others to be envious and jealous.

Jiang Yu finished his work, packed away his paper and brushes, and looked up to see his wife glancing at him before pretending to hide behind her book with a giggle.

Even when he finished his work, he was completely unaware.

He was daydreaming when suddenly, the book in his hand was snatched away. He quickly looked up to see Jiang Yu’s helpless expression, and Zhou Ying giggled twice.

"Husband, you’re done with work." She said, then opened her arms, waiting for a hug.

Such an action was something she would never have done in the past.

If someone had told her at their wedding that she would become all clingy with a man in the future, she would have just thought they were crazy.

But now, doing such things came naturally, as if it were a matter of course.

Jiang Yu shook his head helplessly, but still put the book aside and picked up his increasingly spoiled wife, cradling her in his arms.

Zhou Ying leaned against her husband’s chest. His strong and muscular arms were nothing like the frail scholar’s appearance he seemed to have.

In Xiaomi’s words, he was the type that looked thin in clothes but was muscular without them.

Zhou Ying’s mind wandered for a moment, and she suddenly poked Jiang Yu’s chest with her finger: "Firm and strong, husband, why do you seem so capable, yet others still call you a weak scholar?"

Jiang Yu’s breath caught. Zhou Ying’s actions hit his weak spot perfectly, undoubtedly teasing him, while she herself remained oblivious, still sincerely asking questions.

Jiang Yu controlled his breathing with effort: "Others don’t share the intimate relationship that you and I have, so how would they know what I’m like on the inside?"

Jiang Yu carried Zhou Ying directly back to the bedroom. Zhou Ying noticed nothing, still muttering about how her husband appeared one way during the day and another at night.

Until she was placed on the bed by Jiang Yu, and then saw Jiang Yu squinting his eyes, looking like a sly old fox.

"Tonight, my dear wife has kept talking about my physique, why not feel it firsthand?"

The maid who followed them instantly froze, hurriedly retreated, and considerately closed the door behind her.

Zhou Ying also reacted, her face instantly flushed red: "You rogue! What are you talking about, I... I’m pregnant, you know."

Only realizing what she did afterward, Zhou Ying was so embarrassed she wished she could disappear into the ground.

Jiang Yu had already blown out the candle and, when he returned, began to undress.

"Don’t worry, my dear wife, I’ve already asked the doctor, and it’s fine to be intimate now. I’ll be careful."

"You, you, you, how shameless! You actually asked the doctor about such things!"

Even though they had been together for a long time, Zhou Ying was still blushing furiously, too embarrassed to look at Jiang Yu, couldn’t do anything but let him do as he pleased.

However, the young couple, who hadn’t been intimate for such a long time, was actually enjoying it very much.
