Gong Juechen didn’t care about An Jing’s reaction and simply looked at Meng Zhuqing, kindly saying, "Zhuzhu, why haven’t you led your two wives into your room yet? Look at them, they’re already rooting around in your courtyard."
Meng Zhuqing subconsciously glanced toward the two piglets and saw them actually rooting in the dirt not far away, which made him speechless: "..."
An Jing also looked at the two piglets that were happily rooting around and first fell silent, then hesitated for a bit, and finally, she spoke up, "Meng Zhuqing, look at this..."
Meng Zhuqing was silent for a while before saying, "There’s a pigsty behind the house; just keep the pigs there."
An Jing: "I’m not raising pigs."
Meng Zhuqing: "Your subordinate will raise them."
"Hahahaha..." Gong Juechen laughed unreservedly, leaning forward and backward from his laughter, almost falling off his little stool, "Zhuzhu, I knew you would take care of your two wives; it’s just, hahaha... are you going to sleep in the pigsty at night? You’re actually putting your wives in the pigsty... hahaha..."
Meng Zhuqing really wanted to sew Gong Juechen’s mouth shut with needle and thread, but in the end, he didn’t use needle and thread; instead, he delivered a heavy hand knife directly to the back of Gong Juechen’s neck, instantly knocking him out.
The whole world instantly became so quiet.
It made Meng Zhuqing instantly feel that he should treat Gong Juechen from now on. Simple! Direct! Fast! Satisfying!
Looking at Gong Juechen, who had been knocked out cold on the ground, An Jing fell silent for a moment before asking, "Just going to leave him ?"
Meng Zhuqing nodded, "Mhm."
Since this was her house, the worst that could happen to Gong Juechen was catching a cold from the chill of the ground; he should be fine, so An Jing didn’t bother with it anymore and turned to say, "You stay home to take care of Jing’er and the others. I’ll go to the rice shop with your master."
"Yes!" Meng Zhuqing immediately responded respectfully.
Only then did An Jing depart with Xiao Changyi, who had been standing by her side without saying a word.
At An’s Rice Shop, Meng Lanqing was looking at the account books in the Accounting Room when Gong Juese sat opposite her, propping up her face with her hands, gazing dreamily at Meng Lanqing.
As soon as Meng Lanqing needed something, Gong Juese would immediately get up to fetch it for her.
Meng Lanqing picked up the teacup beside him while looking at the account books, and after drinking the tea, he put the cup back on the desk. Gong Juese immediately took the teapot and refilled the empty teacup with tea.
Then, Gong Juese continued propping up her face with her hands, continuing to gaze dreamily at Meng Lanqing sitting across from her.
Meng Lanqing had grown accustomed to it, not at all distracted by Gong Juese, still fully concentrated on the account books.
When An Jing and Xiao Changyi entered An’s Rice Shop, they were informed by the clerk that Meng Lanqing was in the Accounting Room, so they directly went there.
"Meng Lanqing!" An Jing called out and entered the open-door Accounting Room with her husband.
Seeing Gong Juese in the room, and as she was there to speak with her about something specific, An Jing smiled immediately, "Se Se, you’re here too, perfect, I came just to find you."
As soon as Meng Lanqing saw An Jing and Xiao Changyi come, he stood up, extremely respectfully greeting, "Sir, Ma’am."
Hearing An Jing say she was there to find his wife, uncertainty flashed in Meng Lanqing’s eyes.
Gong Juese was also puzzled but did not stand up; instead, she turned back, looked at the entering An Jing, and asked with a smile, "Jingjing, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
