On the night Jiang Wu married her fiancé, she had a dream. She realized that her world was actually a novel, and her noble, aloof husband, who seemed indifferent to everything, was the male lead o...
Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Madam, why don’t you believe your husband?
After Jiang Wu saw that there was no one in the corridor, he stealthily pushed open the door of another box in the corridor.
As soon as the door opened, a voice as aggrieved as if abandoned came from inside, "Sister-in-law, you're here. You didn't come so late, I thought you forgot your promise to me. Well, after all, my position in your heart is not important. Even if sister-in-law doesn't come, I won't blame you at all."
Jiang Wu, who had goose bumps all over his body from the tea, smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I was so sleepy after studying this morning. I just wanted to take a nap, but I didn't expect to sleep for so long. I'm sorry."
Jiang Wu walked into the house and found that he was the only one there, so he asked, "Where is the Miss Liu you mentioned?"
Could it be that because she was too late, Miss Liu got impatient and left first? If that was the case, wouldn't it really be just the two of them who missed the meal?
Song Jin didn't say anything, but just stared at her with his wet almond eyes, which made Jiang Wu's scalp tingle and she felt guilty. "To make amends, I'll treat you today." When Jiang Wu said the word "please", her heart was bleeding.
Spending money on a man will bring you bad luck for a lifetime, and spending money on a cheap man will bring you bad luck for several lifetimes.
Song Jin was also stunned, then a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "No need, it was me who asked my sister-in-law to come over to help, so it's not reasonable for her to treat me."
"Instead, I should be the one apologizing to my sister-in-law. People tend to get tired easily at noon, and I actually forgot that my sister-in-law needs a nap."
Jiang Wu listened to his sincere apology and was about to nod, but her neck froze as she glanced at his face. How could she have forgotten that he wasn't a simple-minded creature like Ji Xiao? She quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I'm late anyway."
"Why do we need to be so polite to each other between my sister-in-law and me?" Song Jin finished speaking and was about to call the waiter to serve the dishes. Jiang Wu suddenly squatted down with an ugly face and covered her stomach. "My stomach hurts a little. Please wait here for me."
Song Jin's eyes also flashed a dark light, and his face was full of worry, "Sister-in-law has a stomachache, it's all my fault, how about I go find a doctor now?"
"No, no, I just had a stomachache. I'll be back later."
Song Jin also stood up with the worry on his face not pretending, "I'll accompany my sister-in-law."
"No need, I've been here before and I know the way." Jiang Wu was really worried that he would follow her, so she immediately ran away as fast as a rabbit with a long tail, which made Song Jin suspicious.
Then he shook his head to deny it, thinking that he must have overthought it. After all, his cousin's wife was not only timid and illiterate, but also had extremely vulgar behavior.
After leaving the box where Song Jinye was, Jiang Wu took out the letter handed to her by the doorman in front. Just as she was about to look for the pattern drawn on it, she suddenly found the location of He Shiyan's box among the two boxes where Song Jinye and Ji Xiao were.
Jiang Wu felt a chill down his spine and never knew that a person could be so unlucky.
Why were the three of them connected? If she hadn't known from her dream that their relationship wasn't very good, she would have suspected they were teaming up to deceive her.
Moreover, she couldn't escape, and she had to fight quickly, otherwise the longer she delayed, the more disadvantageous the situation would be for her.
The man who was brewing tea in the box was wearing a moon-white robe with wide sleeves and a jade crown. With curling white mist surrounding him, he looked like an immortal under the moon, unattainable.
"Madam, you're here." The man ignored her wary gaze and handed her the poured tea with a gentle smile, as if greeting a long-lost friend. "This is the Longyuan Shengxue I just brewed. Madam, please try it and see if it suits your taste."
Jiang Wu, who never hits a smiling person, couldn't figure out what he was up to, but she felt uneasy instinctively.
Taking the tea, you can smell a refreshing fragrance of tea. The tea is as white as snow, bright and clear, like silver thread.
He Shiyan smiled happily when he saw her drink it, "Madam, what do you think of my tea?"
Even though Jiang Wu didn't know much about tea, he could tell that this tea was not ordinary, so he nodded.
"Actually, this tea is what Tingxue likes."
Jiang Wu felt that this tea was not so delicious anymore.
He Shiyan ignored her unusual behavior and continued to speak, "It's just that the production of this tea is extremely small. The palace only gets less than two kilograms every year. And because Tingxue really likes it, Master even bought an entire tea mountain just to grow the Longyuan Shengxue tea that Tingxue loves. I can also benefit from it and enjoy a few kilograms more every year."
Jiang Wu's jaw tightened, her expression becoming unsightly. She looked like a woman who wholeheartedly loved her husband and completely disregarded anyone else's attempts to sow discord. She placed the teacup down heavily, her face sullen, "If you've called me here just to say those things, I won't believe you."
He Shiyan shook his head, picked up the blue and white thin-bodied teapot and poured new tea into her empty cup. "No, I asked Madam to come here just to apologize for offending her last time."
Jiang Wu smiled coldly, "You said you wanted to apologize, but why didn't I see your sincerity? Instead, you've been trying to sow discord between me and my husband. I'd like to ask you, last time it was rose shortbread, this time it's Longyuan Shengxue, so what will it be next time?"
In fact, Jiang Wu has never been able to see through He Shiyan. In her dreams, he gives people the impression of a gentle gentleman. Otherwise, she would not fall into the gentle trap set by her husband after learning that he does not love her, and once regarded him as her salvation.
After viewing him as her salvation, her fate in the dream was clearly tragic. After she trusted him, he had their letters printed by major bookstores, making her a shameless whore and a target of public condemnation. Yet, even when she was pelted with vegetable leaves and cursed, this man still stood up for her, clarified that the letters were not hers, and offered to take her in when she had nowhere to live.
He Shiyan's narrow eyelids drooped, and with his usual compassionate tenderness, "Madam, how could you know that I wasn't telling the truth?"
Jiang Wu raised his chin and said confidently, "Of course I trust him. If a couple doesn't even have the most basic trust, then what's the point of being a couple? Wouldn't it be better to be strangers?"
Even if she doesn't believe him, it doesn't prevent her from being a wife who deeply loves her husband. If she loves him deeply, then there must be trust.
He Shiyan's eyes grew more interested. "Madam, you trust your husband so much, even after seeing him show so many preferences for others."
Jiang Wu, who didn't understand what he was going to do, was no longer as confident as when she first faced him. Instead, she hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding, "Of course I trust my husband."
He Shiyan couldn't help but sneer with his hands covering his lips. Seeing that she trusted her husband so much, he felt more and more pitiful and pathetic for her, and his so-called evil desire to destroy her continued to grow.
I really want to see her heartbroken and miserable look when she finds out her husband doesn't love her. It must be extremely interesting.
"What if Madam saw with her own eyes that your husband didn't love you?"
Jiang Wu's expression changed instantly. She resisted the urge to throw the teacup in his face. Instead, she stood up and walked out. "If you called me here just to sow discord between me and my husband, I'll excuse myself. I can't trust a complete stranger instead of my husband."
"Although I'm not very familiar with Madam, it's precisely because of this that I have no motive to sow discord between Madam and Master. Instead, I'm acting out of a conscience."
Jiang Wu really wanted to scold him for having any conscience, but she just kept a straight face and said nothing, completely believing that what he said was just to sow discord between her and her husband.
"I wonder if Master has ever painted a picture for Madam."
His sudden words suddenly made Jiang Wu feel uneasy, and she subconsciously retorted, "A painting can't represent anything."
"Oh, then Master must have painted quite a few pictures for Madam." He Shiyan's smile deepened in response to her hesitation, and he pressed her even harder, "Could it be that Master hasn't painted a single picture for Madam in all this time? If that's the case, I'd doubt Madam's claim of trust."
The man's approach made Jiang Wu step back cautiously, digging her nails into her palms that were covered in a layer of cold sweat. "This is a matter between me and your master. It has nothing to do with you."
He Shiyan shook his head, with a look of compassion and love, "Although it has nothing to do with me, I just can't bear to see you living your whole life in your husband's lies and deception."
"The most important thing for a woman in her life is to marry a husband who loves her, rather than living in a huge lie." His words were so touching, as if he didn't want to see a poor woman living in a lie, so he wanted to save her and bring her out of the sea of suffering.
If Jiang Wu had not seen this man's true face in his dream, he would have been deceived by him.
"I'm telling you, I don't believe a single word you said!" Jiang Wu, whose eyes were red with anger, thought of the other two she had to deal with, and she had already performed enough. If she continued to stay, it would be too much.
When Jiang Wu was about to rush out of the door, the man grabbed her wrist first.
"what you do."
The man sighed deeply, helpless against her resistance, and dragged her directly to the window. "Since Madam doesn't believe what I said, why don't you see it for yourself?"
Jiang Wu, who was forced to the window, looked downstairs and saw a gorgeous carriage parked in front of the teahouse opposite.
She was about to say what was so good about it when she saw Shen Tingxue, who was dressed in a white dress, getting out of the carriage, and then another carriage stopped in front of the teahouse.
As soon as the people in the carriage got off, Shen Tingxue flew into the man's arms like a fluttering butterfly. The man patted her head lovingly. The two of them said something, which made Shen Tingxue laugh like a silver bell.
Even without seeing the man's face clearly, Jiang Wu, who was stiff all over, could guess at a glance that the man was her husband.
Xie Ji!
