23 Filial son

His words made both Wang Deming and Jiang Xiurong freeze for a second as their eyes shifted ever so lightly that no one had noticed anything different with them.

Wang Deming smiled as he replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I would never let your name be smeared in front of Minister Jiang or anyone else. I will treat Princess Jiang with as much love as I can shower upon her. Thank you for your blessings."

After he spoke, he excused himself and left the Manor along with Jiang Xiurong and his mother.

His mother followed them to his manor to see how everything was between the newlywed couple. Though she had seen them earlier, she still wants to see them with a closer proximity than before.

Watching them along with a 'crowd' won't give much satisfaction as much as when watching them alone. She wants to see how her son's married life is and that is when she would be able to calm down her accelerated heart. After all a marriage is not something that can be taken back. It's done if it is done once.

She doesn't want her son to suffer in a marriage that is not happy or in the worst case, awful or miserable.

As soon as they entered Wang Deming's manor, his mother looked at Jiang Xiurong and held her hands in hers to ask, "Princess Jiang, how was your last night here? Is the place comfortable. Were you able to sleep peacefully. Did the mattress trouble you in any way? Just tell me and I will get it changed if there is any problem with it."

Though she had asked if she was comfortable with the mattress, everyone understood what exactly she wanted to ask. She just wants to see her reaction to find out what happened in the bridal chamber.

When she heard her mother in law's question, Jiang Xiurong reminded herself of how she hugged Wang Deming to sleep last night and slept so comfortably after a long time. That led her to remember the events from the morning on the bed after they woke.

Remembering the kiss that they shared, Jiang Xiurong's face flushed scarlet as she bent her head low to hide it from her mother in law's prying eyes.

She then slowly muttered, "Yes, Mother. I slept peacefully. There is nothing uncomfortable with the mattress or anything else here."

Though she spoke that everything was good, her voice was as low as a tiny bee. But her mother in law clearly understood that everything is very well between her son and his wife by looking at her daughter in law being so shy.

In an instant her face glowed so bright that the newly wed couple thought that there would be no need for a torch during the night if she continued looking like this.

They both sighed and did not speak anything. Wang deming sat beside his mother and spoke, "Mother, does she really need you to take care of her when i am here? She can simply tell me and I will arrange anything that she needs here, right?"

His mother nodded her head and placed her hand on his cheek as she spoke warmly, "Yes yes. You can pamper your wife as much as you want. I won't come in the way of your couple's life. Is that okay? I just want to know if you both are happy and nothing was uncomfortable. Is that wrong?"

Wang Deming placed his hand on hers which was still resting on his cheek as he smiled to speak, "Mother, I know that you are worrying for us. I just don't want you to worry about these small things unnecessarily and tire yourself. I can't see you suffering for me and Princess Jiang. I just want you to rest and enjoy without any tensions. You know that, right?"

She nodded her head as she nodded her head, "Yes yes. I know that my son is a very filial boy. I am very lucky to give birth to a good son like you after all."

Slowly her hand went forward and held his ear as she softly twisted it and said, "Yet don't think that you can make me not think about your words. You just want to show off your capabilities in front of your wife and so you are trying to avoid me. Don't think that I can't see your sneaky little intentions there."
