After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 19.1

When Jiang Suizhou arrived in Gu Changyun's room that night, he was surprised to find that the bedroom was still occupied by Xu Du.

The food was already placed on the table, and no one was left to serve them.

When he saw Jiang Suizhou enter, Gu Changyun saluted him and poured tea for him.

Jiang Suizhou sat down at the main seat.

"Master sent word of your visit earlier this morning, so I had someone cook a dish of Squirrel Mandarin Fish," Gu Changyun said with a smile while moving the plate of fish in front of Jiang Suizhou.

“Would you like to try it, Master?”

Jiang Suizhou couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

He himself originally did not like sweets, especially this kind of sweet and sour southern dish. After staying in the south for a few days, the dishes on the dining table in his room were always mostly northern.

Could it be that the original owner loved sweets?

He looked at Gu Changyun with some suspicion and saw him raise his eyebrows, a hint of surprise on his face.

"Won't you eat it, Master?"

Jiang Suizhou didn't make a sound and stretched his chopsticks to take a piece of the fish off the plate.

The fish was so sweet and fragrant in the mouth that Jiang Suizhou's eyebrows could not help but wrinkle.

His chopsticks froze.

Although the soul of King Jing was now him, his body structure was still King Jing’s. The one thing that could affect one's eating preferences, besides experience, was the taste buds. Since he was originally born without a sweet tooth and also had no psychological barriers, then his body’s reaction to the fish must be from the original owner himself.

The original owner didn’t like sweets, so Gu Changyun’s move was clearly to test him.

Jiang Suizhou chewed a few times and looked at Gu Changyun faintly.

A smile surfaced on Gu Changyun's face. He seemed to be relieved after his doubts about Jiang Suizhou were dispelled.

Jiang Suizhou did not say a word, only looked at him coldly. His gaze carried two points of scrutiny and warning.

Gu Changyun immediately sensed it. He blinked and said with a smile, "Sure enough, Your Highness still doesn't like sweets. It's just a pity that this famous southern dish has not been able to enter your eyes for three years."

Jiang Suizhou, however, slowly put down his chopsticks.

“You have a lot of guts," he lowered his eyes to the tabletop and said indifferently.

Gu Changyun stared at him and did not speak for a moment.

Jiang Suizhou asked, "Did you get the result you wanted?"

Gu Changyun stiffened, and then gently laughed out loud.

"Master, what are you talking about? I was just looking at the fresh Mandarin fish that was shipped to the mansion recently, and I wanted them to cook it for you to try."

Jiang Suizhou's knuckles slowly knocked on the table, one at a time.

If the people who knew him well were present right now, they would have registered that this was his habitual action whenever he saw through someone’s lies and was thinking about countermeasures.

Jiang Suizhou knew that they had noticed that he was not the original owner.

He had been mentally prepared. After all, these two people were trusted aides of the original owner. Not to mention that they’ve spent a lot of time together, and must also know each other through and through. Moreover, since the original owner was able to bring these two under his command, they were absolutely not idlers. Trying to fool them would be very challenging.

Nevertheless, he did not expect that they would begin to test him only on their second meeting.

This proved that from the first time they met, these two people had sensed that he was different from the original owner.

The sound of his knuckles knocked against the wooden tabletop, one after another. The sound was soft and gentle, and it swept through the quiet room.

Just then, Xu Du, who had been waiting by, spoke.

"Master, please forgive him. Changyun was just being naughty." He rose to his feet.

Jiang Suizhou glanced at Xu Du, and saw him bowing deeply before him.

"But rest assured, Master, that no matter what happens, his loyalty to you is evident in heaven and earth."

This was a promise of loyalty.

Jiang Suizhou knew that he was telling him that no matter who he had become now, as long as he remained their master, they would both be loyal to him.

He looked down and took a sip of tea to wash the sweetness that filled his mouth.

He naturally would not believe what he said.

But he also knew that at present, his identity was evident among the three. He issued a warning, and they also expressed their loyalty. At this point, further persecution was useless.

He needed facts to prove that Xu Du's claim of loyalty was true or false. Until then, what he had to do was to find something that could restrain them or prevent them from betraying him.

Jiang Suizhou picked up his chopsticks again, as if the confrontation had not happened, and calmly talked to them about the letter he had received yesterday.

Xu Du and Gu Changyun also discussed the contents of the letter with him as if nothing had happened.

As with their last meeting, these two were methodical. They hit all the right notes and were quite insightful. When they proposed countermeasures, they usually hit the nail on the head. Their proposals coincided with the analysis Jiang Suizhou made based on historical data.

He gave off the impression that he really was the original owner, doing his best, without any reservations.

Jiang Suizhou couldn't tell if they were deliberately disguising themselves, or if they really didn't care whether the person in front of them was the original King Jing or not. But whatever the reason, the analysis they presented was desirable. Jiang Suizhou deliberated and wrote down the parts he thought were useful.

After finishing the meal and discussing the major and minor matters that happened in the past few days, Jiang Suizhou got up and left.
