The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 230 - 229: Mingzhu Loves Him Most!

Although Xie Yunzhen was a rogue, once he promised something to Ji Mingzhu, he would not break his word.

He didn’t impulsively go to settle accounts with the Xiao Family.

Nor did he say anything else that might disturb Ji Mingzhu.

He just held his wife quietly, accompanying her through a full night’s sleep.

This was the most peaceful sleep Mingzhu had had since her amnesia.

It was also the first time since Xie Yunzhen’s departure for the battlefield that he could put down his burdens and allow himself to momentarily set aside official duties.

Even with the habits formed on the battlefield, Xie Yunzhen remained alert, even in his dreams.

Moreover, after learning about Mingzhu’s experiences, he couldn’t fall asleep that night.

He just listened to Ji Mingzhu’s breathing, from dusk to when the moon climbed the branches, and until dawn when the sky turned light...

Ji Mingzhu slept so soundly that even the soldiers’ training shouts couldn’t wake her.

Not until daylight fully brightened did she slowly wake up.

The spot beside her was already empty.

She reached over and touched it, feeling it was icy cold, indicating that Xie Yunzhen had left a long time ago.

Ji Mingzhu stared at the top of the tent, lost in thought.

Uncontrolled, her mind again began recalling Xie Yunzhen’s words.

She touched the area of her lower abdomen.

Although she had already accepted reality, her mood remained quite low.

Her mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts, yet her heart felt empty.

It was as though her vitality had been extracted, and she couldn’t muster any energy.

Though she had slept the entire night, she still felt exhausted.

Ji Mingzhu turned over.

Lying on her side, facing away from the bed, she stared at the pillow Xie Yunzhen had slept on, lost in thought.

She wondered where he had gone.

Could he have gone to attend to military affairs?

After who knows how long, footsteps sounded outside the tent.

Xie Yunzhen, holding a package, instinctively went to lift the curtain to enter.

Suddenly, he remembered what Mingzhu had said.

He quickly halted his steps.

Standing outside, he gave a slight cough, "Zhu Zhu, I’m coming in."

The gloom on Ji Mingzhu’s heart, belied by her low spirits, was slightly dispelled by his actions.

She humbly replied, "Come in."

With her permission, Xie Yunzhen entered the large tent.

The guards not far away exchanged glances, surprised that their brave General would be so under his wife’s thumb in private.

What man needs his wife’s permission before entering the house?

What others whispered about him behind his back, Xie Yunzhen did not know.

First, he helped Ji Mingzhu sit up, then, like presenting a treasure, he placed the items on the bed all at once.

"See if you like them."

There were many things.

The clothes and shoes were bought according to Ji Mingzhu’s size. Though the style was plain and simple, the material was very soft, and the tailoring was quite good.

Even the hairpins, headpieces, rouge, face powder, and skincare ointment not written on Mingzhu’s list were bought by Xie Yunzhen.

In addition to those, there were some preserved fruits and snacks.

Ji Mingzhu looked over each item, "There was no need to buy so much."

"It’s not too much."

She had lived a life of luxurious clothes and fine food since she was young, and had it not been for misfortune, she would likely still be living a wealthy life in the mansion.

The conditions in the military were tough, and Xie Yunzhen did not want Mingzhu to suffer.

Matters that could be settled with a bit of effort and Silver, he felt it would be inexcusable laziness not to do them!

Unfortunately, Gold was not here.

When he was preoccupied with official duties, Mingzhu had no one to talk to.

Thinking of this, Xie Yunzhen came up with an idea.

In a while, he would write to the new emperor, asking him to release Gold.

She was a maid devoted to her master and shouldn’t be left in a place that devours one whole without a trace.

Even if she couldn’t come to the camp to accompany Mingzhu, leading a quiet life in the mansion would fulfill the bond between Mingzhu and her maid.

Anyone who had protected Ji Mingzhu would be well-treated by Xie Yunzhen.

Mingzhu was his bottom line.

As long as no harm came to her, everything else was negotiable.

Placing the clothes in front of Ji Mingzhu, he let her choose, "Once you tidy up, I’ll have someone bring food in."

Ji Mingzhu didn’t want to delay his important matters.

She casually picked a light purple dress, "You go ahead, if I get hungry, I’ll find food at the canteen myself."

The camp had strict discipline, but Xie Yunzhen still wasn’t at ease.

"You don’t need to go to the canteen, I’ll have meals delivered here three times a day."

Ji Mingzhu asked, "So I just wait around doing nothing and eating?"

This sort of life seems rather hard to endure...

Xie Yunzhen thought for a moment, "Could you make me two sets of clothes?"

"Making clothes doesn’t take much time."

"Then make me two pairs of shoes as well."

Ji Mingzhu couldn’t help but laugh, "Seems like other than that, I can’t help with anything else."

She didn’t know how to lead troops or strategize and plan.

The only thing she could do was stay quietly in the tent and not be a burden to Xie Yunzhen.

Xie Yunzhen stole a kiss on her face, raising his eyebrows, "You’re a magical remedy. With you around, I feel completely at ease."

He didn’t say anything inappropriate, but for some reason, Ji Mingzhu felt flustered, and her breath shortened, too embarrassed to meet his gaze.

The place where he’d kissed her felt fiery hot.

She awkwardly turned her head, brushing it with her shoulder.

Attempting to rid herself of the burning feeling in such a clumsy manner.

"Ji Mingzhu, what do you mean?"

The man’s eyes were dangerously narrowed, "Do you find me unpleasant, or don’t want me to kiss you?"

Being caught, Ji Mingzhu felt sheepish, having forgotten everything about their pre- and post-marriage.

Suddenly having such a big husband being so intimate with her...

It was only natural she felt uneasy and uncomfortable at first, right?

"That’s not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

The man pressed her continuously, and Ji Mingzhu responded with irritation, "Do you ever stop?"

Xie Yunzhen suddenly smiled, "So you want me to kiss you."

"I..."

The rest of her words were devoured by the man.

Unlike the tender embrace of the previous day, this moment’s Xie Yunzhen had reverted to his domineering and assertive manner.

Pursuing those soft lips.

Gently sucking.

Flicking his tongue.

Amorous tension suffused the air, making limbs turn weak and wobbly.

Ji Mingzhu’s eyelids slightly lifted to find the man’s eyes closed, his eyelashes were long and curled. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The folds on his eyelids were clear.

His eyebrow bones prominent, his forehead full, a bone structure that indicated a handsome man.

Without warning, he felt the cool fingers cupping his temple, Xie Yunzhen abruptly opened his eyes, filled with joy.

He knew it; he was the man Mingzhu loved the most!

Even if she lost her memory, she still loved him!

A tempest of passion transformed into tender solace.

Xie Yunzhen’s lips barely parted, enticing her softly, "Zhu Zhu, kiss me."

She simply responded a little, making his blood boil.

If she did as asked, Ji Mingzhu wasn’t certain what might follow.

She quickly pressed against his shoulder, "We were talking business."

The woman’s cheeks were slightly flushed, like a blooming peach blossom, and Xie Yunzhen chuckled.

He patted her head, "So sweet."

A sentence without context made Ji Mingzhu’s face even redder.

She stammered, "If you’re so idle, go tend to your official duties."

If the setting were different, Xie Yunzhen would say accompanying his wife is his duty.

But given the current tension and the proximity to war, accompanying his wife would have to be squeezed into moments of busy schedules.

If he couldn’t guarantee something, he wouldn’t say it.

Xie Yunzhen wiped the marks at the corner of Mingzhu’s mouth with his fingertips, then affectionately ruffled her hair.

Then he fetched the winter clothes Ji Mingzhu had made for him before.

"Could I trouble my wife to mend this for me?"

On the battlefield, bleeding and injuries were inevitable.

The clothes bore signs of being cut by a sharp weapon, leaving a large tear.

Then stitched together haphazardly.

Ji Mingzhu’s delicate fingers traced the unsightly stitches, and suddenly her eyes stung with tears.

"Were you also in a lot of pain?"
