After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 15.2

Late into the night.

Huo Wujiu, who was lying on the bed, had not moved, so Jiang Suizhou then put out the lamp, pulled a blanket, then slept on the couch.

As expected, he slept quite soundly that night.

The couch wasn’t completely comfortable, but Jiang Suizhou practically stayed up all night for two consecutive days and had already exhausted his energy. Therefore, as soon as he touched the pillow, he sunk into a deep sleep, and had a dreamless night.

Until the day dawned.

Jiang Suizhou was sleeping when he felt someone carefully patting him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a shocked Meng Qianshan standing in the hazy morning light.

Fright instantly awakened Jiang Suizhou.

He sat up and saw Meng Qianshan bowing in front of him with an envelope in one hand. With a surprised look, he glanced at the bed, then at Jiang Suizhou, and spoke in a stammering voice, "Master, why are you sleeping in..."

Jiang Suizhou gritted his teeth and lowered his voice to interrupt him, "Is something the matter?"

This Meng Qianshan was fine everywhere else, but he was a bit foolish.

What other servant would, having seen his master sleeping on the couch, ask him, “Why are you sleeping on the sofa?”!

Meng Qianshan froze, handed the envelope to Jiang Suizhou, and said, "This came last night..."

Jiang Suizhou paused and immediately raised his hand, signaling Meng Qianshan to shut his mouth first.

He glanced at Huo Wujiu on the bed.

At this time, the sky was only slightly bright, and it was far from time to get up. Huo Wujiu looked to be sound asleep, so their talking would surely wake him up.

Meng Qianshan followed Jiang Suizhou's line of sight and instantly understood.

Meng Qianshan hurriedly and soundlessly followed Jiang Suizhou outside.

The two of them walked all the way outside of the bedroom and closed the door before they spoke again.

"What is it?" Jiang Suizhou asked.

Meng Qianshan handed him the envelope in his hand and said, "Your Highness, the two lords who asked you to have a drink last night asked someone to secretly deliver this before dawn this morning, saying that they had intended to hand it to you yesterday, but you were unwell, so they rushed to deliver it today."

Jiang Suizhou took the envelope.

He had a rough idea what it contained. The two people who had asked him to drink yesterday were both minor officials of the Ministry of Works. He believed that the information they had sent him was most likely related to the repair of the ancestral hall.

He took the envelope, gave a hum, and turned around to leave.

But at this moment, Meng Qianshan actually stepped forward and stopped him.

Jiang Suizhou frowned at him, then saw righteous indignation written all over Meng Qianshan’s face.

"How can Madam Huo let you sleep on the couch?!"

Jiang Suizhou was a bit speechless.

How dare you ask! I interrupted you so you wouldn’t say anything, yet you still asked!

Jiang Suizhou answered indifferently, "Is it your business?" Then, he turned around in an attempt to go inside.

But he saw Meng Qianshan face death unflinchingly.

“It should be none of my business, but Your Highness is so sick and weak. How can I allow him to bully you to this extent!"

Jiang Suizhou could hear the tremor in Meng Qianshan’s voice. At first glance, he was scared. But he forcibly stopped himself and whispered, "Is Madam Huo bullying you because of his superior martial arts skills? Your Highness, don't be afraid, this is not their Northern Liang, where he can run wild..."

Jiang Suizhou helplessly raised his hand and cut his words short.

He knew of Meng Qianshan’s sincere loyalty, but this man...he really had a one-track mind!

Jiang Suizhou asked coldly, "Why are you shooting in the dark? Mind your own business."

After saying that, he went around Meng Qianshan and pushed the door of the room open.

But behind him, Meng Qianshan's voice sounded aggrieved and puzzled.

“Your Highness is sleeping on the couch. Why do you want to get this person into your courtyard?"

...If I don't make it clear, is there no way to get over this?

Jiang Suizhou took a deep breath, closed the room door and turned around.

“I want to sleep by myself,” he said.

Meng Qianshan was filled with surprise.

Then he saw his own master's face as frosty as ice as he spoke stiffly, "Although he is a concubine, my heart fell for him, and I do not want to insult him at will. Understand?"

Meng Qianshan's eyes were about to pop out: "You, Your Highness! But you only...you only met him for the first time two days ago!"

….And now you also got to the bottom of it.

Jiang Suizhou just wanted to quickly fool this rash young man, and made up nonsense, "How do you know it was the first time? When the Marquis of Dingbei returned to the capital, I had seen him at that time and had long been attracted to him. Since then...time has passed, and although I have not seen him in person, I frequently received news about him.”

Meng Qianshan was dumbfounded.

It was obvious to Jiang Suizhou that Meng Qianshan believed him, so he stopped talking and warned, "No one else knows about this matter, and I haven’t revealed a hint of it in front of Madam Huo. Therefore, even if you know, you must keep it to yourself. Remember?"

Meng Qianshan's eyes were frozen straight at this point, and he nodded his head stupidly.

Jiang Suizhou faintly glanced at him, turned around and pushed the door open again.

It was still early, and instead of arguing with Meng Qianshan there, he might as well go back and sleep for another half an hour.

With this in mind, he gingerly returned to his couch. As he was lying down, he did not forget to shoot Huo Wujiu a few glances.

Huo Wujiu remained motionless and still hadn’t awakened.

Jiang Suizhou laid down in relief and closed his eyes.

Unbeknownst to him, the moment he closed his eyes, a pair of pitch-black eyes slowly opened in the darkness.

The man frowned, his face brimming with surprise. His eyes fell on Jiang Suizhou’s back with extreme complexity.

What Jiang Suizhou didn't know was that Huo Wujiu had been in the army for many years, and even in his sleep, the slightest noise could wake him up immediately.

He also didn't know that Huo Wujiu had extremely sharp eyes and keen ears. Even through the door, even when he lowered his voice, Huo Wujiu heard every word he said.

Not a single word was left out.
