Chapter 343: 227 The Bride Who Cin Sleep, Master Wu's Night Visit to the Fragrant Chamber (4 Chapters) The stustaff dismissal seemed to be over and done with, and the following few days were exceptionally tranquil, a rare peace without a breeze or wave in sight.

Tang Wan was busy with Cyan Feather work, so occupied that she would even skip meals, let alone pay attention to Jiang Jinsang. Even their phone calls were hurriedly cut short, unavoidably neglecting him.

Jiang Jinsang knew she was busy, and as a considerate and qualified boyfriend, he shouldn't constantly disturb her. Missing her, he still had to endure, which was truly torturous.

"...I'm saying, Jiang Xiaowu, we cout to have fun, why the sighs and lamentations?" Qi Zeyan furrowed his brow, "What's the matter, had a fight with your sister-in-law?" This guy, Jiang Jinsang, was always a bit off, with a naturally quirky temper. Everyone thought that falling in love might make him a bit more normal, but no...

He beceven quirkier! "She's been too busy lately, no tfor him," Jiang Yanting explained.

"She's busy, but she has us, right?" Qi Zeyan took a seat next to him, "How about we drink tonight until we can't stand up?" "Why is Wanwan so busy? Don't you have any clue?" Jiang Jinsang looked at him seriously.

Qi Zeyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, "I'm not in charge of the project. You're about to go to the Tang family to propose soon. That's not something you can back out of lightly; have you really thought about stepping into the tomb that is marriage?" "What's the matter, you're not over Wanwan yet, planning to rob the grave?" Robbing the grave? Given Jiang Jinsang's personality, even if he were "dead and buried," he would resurrect and leap up to beat him! A brother's wife is off-limits, especially Jiang Jinsang's corner. Even if he were holding a hoe, he'd have to detour and walk away.

Since the news of Jiang Jinsang's engagement spread, it was truly gover for him. His old man was harping on him every day, pulling his ears, asking him when he would find a partner.

He'd say, even with Jiang Jinsang's poor health, lying around at hasleep, he managed to sleep himself into a marriage. When he was out and about bouncing around every day, why hasn't he seen him bring a bride home? Told him to stop dawdling outside, just chand sleep.

Did he sleep Tang Wan into his life? What kind of barbaric notions are these? At this moment, there was still stleft before the proposal, and the two were, after all, in a passionate phase of their relationship. Jiang Jinsang knew she was busy; it was just that his mind was deeply preoccupied. Without telling anyone, he set off for Pingjiang several days early, traveling through the night.

When he departed, it was already afternoon, and by the the arrived in Pingjiang, it was past ten o'clock at night.

** Tang Wan had no idea Jiang Jinsang had arrived. At that moment, she was still hard at work, head down, handling the metal base needed for Cyan Feather, which was an extrtest of one's patience and left no room for the slightest error.

"Wanwan, it's almost eleven. Aren't you going to rest?" Shen Shuci had stayed in her room all along.

"You go to sleep first," Tang Wan said, too busy to even lift her eyelids.

"Then make sure to rest early, don't stay up too late." Seeing her intense focus, Shen Shuci poured her a cup of tea and didn't say much else, took his things, and quietly closed the door behind him as he left.

The old Tang family residence was in the suburbs, far from the bustling city. After nine at night, the surroundings quieted down. The dim, old lights along the way in the tranquil courtyard carried an unintentional sense of horror in the dark, making one's steps unconsciously lighter.

Shen Shuci had reached the doorway of his room but suddenly heard the pet bird Hua Mei chirping a couple of times in the front courtyard.

He didn't pay much attention at first, but faintly, it seemed he heard the sound of a door opening, only for Hua Mei to suddenly raise its voice, drowning out that minor noise, and then there was silence.

This was the old residence, with low walls; in the past, there were frequently thieves climbing over them. Shen Shuci took a breath—could a burglar have entered the house? Hua Mei had chirped a few times, then suddenly stopped. What was up with this bird? Its calls rarely cto such an abrupt halt.

Just moments ago it was screeching, had someone silenced it with poison? Shen Shuci surveyed her surroundings, picked up a stick that was lying to one side, and tiptoed out.

Jiang Jinsang had previously stayed at the Tang Family for a period of time, so he naturally knew how to open the door and enter. At this hour of the night, he had no intention of alarming anyone. Jiang Jiu went to park the car while he and Jiang Cuo entered first.

The cold wind rustled the branches and leaves as the frail moonlight intertwined with the artificial lights, casting the tremulous shadow of trees on the ground, resembling ferocious ghosts with bared fangs and claws—it was quite eerie.

Jiang Cuo was somewhat speechless, wondering why it felt as though they were committing a burglary! Just then, someone suddenly leaped out from the side, wielding something similar to a club, and attacked them. Jiang Jinsang was walking in front, and the club was almost cutting through the air, heading straight for him... His pupils dilated slightly, and he instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly escaping! "Damn it—" Jiang Cuo immediately rushed over to help, not realizing that Jiang Jinsang had already dodged; the club missed its mark. If someone was attacking Jiang Jinsang, he definitely had to protect him and counterattack. He didn't even see who the person was before rushing over to throw a punch.

Shen Shuci recognized his voice, squinted her eyes, trying to see his face clearly, but he had already launched an attack at her. In self-defense...

She swiftly retreated, her fingers clenched tightly, and threw a heavy punch at him! "Ow-" Accompanied by a cry of pain, Jiang Cuo stepped back, covering his eyes with his hand.

"Miss Shen?" Jiang Jinsang had already recognized her.

"Jiang Xiaowu?" She remembered his voice, "What brought you here?" It was not yet the day for the marriage proposal.

"I cearlier."

"I'm so sorry. I kept hearing Hua Mei calling, and I thought there was a m burglar in the house Shen Shuci NO casually tossed the stick aside and looked at Jiang Cuo, who was covering his eyes, "I'm truly sorry." "It's fine!" Jiang Cuo said, his hand still over his eyes, feeling like he might go blind.

Shen Shuci had gone to Beijing and been "caught" as a thief by Jiang Chengsi; she hadn't expected to m "catch" Niang Vifisang today. Tang Wan was originally busy, but when she heard the cry outside, she dropped what she was doing and ran out. Seeing Jiang Jinsang, she was both shocked and delighted, "Xiaowu?" Catching sight of Jiang Cuo holding his eye, she furrowed her brows and asked, "Jiang Cuo? What happened to you?" Before Jiang Cuo could speak, Shen Shuci said, "It's probably too dark around here, he must have bumped into something accidentally." This person was to be Jiang Jinsang's future aunt by marriage; his grandfather couldn't be offended, and neither could Jiang Cuo. If she said it was a bump, then it must have been a bump.

A minute later, the group followed Tang Wan to the study. The lighting there was much better, and Tang Wan examined Jiang Cuo, "You've got sskill to bump into something so precisely, right on your eye." "Who asked them to cin the dark without lights?" Shen Shuci stated bluntly, noting that if she hadn't recognized the voice, she would have swung the stick.

"You all cover, why didn't you tellin advance?" Tang Wan looked at Jiang Jinsang.

"I wanted to give you a surprise." However, he hadn't expected that as soon as he stepped into the Tang residence, he would be greeted with a scare.

At that moment, Shen Shuci still felt that Jiang Jinsang's arrival was sudden. There were still a few day's be left before the proposal, and there was no need to rush. But considering the events that followed, she could only sigh that his timing was... Very timely!
