Chapter 94: A miserable dog

Seeing his stern expression, Shen Qi had never seen him so angry before. She couldn't help but reach out and touch the back of his clenched hand, comforting him in a gentle voice.

"After all, we've known each other since childhood, and we've seen each other quite often lately. Can you say there's no affection at all?"

She was talking about Mrs. Zhao, but Xie Yuduo thought she was talking about Xu You.

When Xie Yuduo heard this, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. Even though he was such a big man, he almost shed tears.

Favor, what a favor! That boy, is he worthy of her favor? What about me? What is my favor worth?

"What a kindness! For your kindness, today I am completely wrong. I really shouldn't have asked someone to beat him, so as to avoid causing you pain!"

Xie Yuduo was furious. He closed his fan, pushed the door open and walked out with big strides.

Didn't even look back.

The handkerchief that once wiped away Chen Qi's tears was right behind him, floating down slowly.

…

Xiaowu had never seen his second master get so angry.

He walked into the study in anger, kicked open the door, and smashed the teacups and teapot in the study to pieces.

Xiao Wu followed him in and saw that he had smashed something. He carefully went up to clean it up, but was kicked in the butt by Xie Yuduo.

"Get out! Get out!"

Originally, Xiaowu worked hard and thought he would get a reward, but he didn't expect to be kicked.

That night, Xie Yuduo did not return to the backyard, but slept in the study.

Chen Qi was also angry for half a day, thinking that he despised her for being weak and vulnerable.

However, the grandmother listened to the servants' account of the cause and effect of that day. Although she didn't know all the inside stories, she guessed most of it. In short, it must be the sensible Shen Qi who was wronged. She didn't blame her generous and sensible granddaughter-in-law for an outsider. Instead, she called Shen Qi to comfort her for a long time and asked her to have a good rest.

At night, seeing that he didn't return to his room, Chen Qi tossed and turned on her pillow in the middle of the night. She still felt that she had done nothing wrong in setting up a home for him, so she simply ignored him and went to sleep.

The next day, Xie Yuduo still didn't come back, and he didn't even go back to the backyard to eat. Chen Qi didn't want to indulge his reckless nature, so she didn't go looking for him.

On the third day, Chen Qi finished her household chores as usual, and played chess and practiced calligraphy with Yu Jing and Xiao Ling.

Until the evening, she took off her makeup and combed her hair in the room, only to find that the room was empty and the door was open but no one came in.

It seems that he still doesn't plan to come back tonight.

She really couldn't understand why he, such a good-tempered man, got so angry just because she blamed him for hitting people easily?

Seeing that he hadn't returned home for two or three days, the couple still had to live together for a long time. If they continued like this, it wouldn't be a solution...

Since he doesn't come, I'll just go find him myself.

Chen Qi made up her mind and combed her hair again.

She originally wanted to change into brightly colored clothes, but after thinking about it, she snorted and decided to keep wearing her casual dress. She called Xiao Ling and went to the study together.

Arriving at the door of the study, Chen Qi asked the gatekeeper and learned that only the second master was in the room. He then sent the gatekeeper away and instructed Xiao Ling to guard the door and not let anyone in.

Xiao Ling looked at the Second Mistress's aggressive expression and nodded hurriedly.

Chen Qi pushed the door open and walked in. As expected, there was no one else in the study except Xie Yuduo who was reading behind the desk.

Since the end of last year, my eldest brother has set up a small study in the side room of the medicine warehouse, and this large study has been used by Xie Yuduo alone.

Xie Yuduo had people renovate it and moved out many old account books, so the space is now much more spacious.

In the middle is the main hall for receiving guests, on the right is still the desk for reading and writing, and behind the large landscape screen on the left is a small bedroom for him to take a short rest and wash.

I guess he spent the nights here these past two days.

When Xie Yuduo saw Chen Qi coming in, he raised his eyes slightly, looked her up and down, then lowered his eyelids and read the densely packed small characters on the book.

He has been reading this book for three days.

Not a single page was turned.

Chen Qi didn't say anything and looked at it carefully.

He looked haggard, with stubble on his chin and his hair was unkempt and messy. He used to be a very elegant man, but now he looked a bit down-and-out.

It looks like a puppy that hasn't been home for a few days, and its fur is messy.

Chen Qi is not here to look for a dog, she is here to coax people.

On the way here, Chen Qi thought of many tricks to coax him.

For example, as soon as you enter the door, pretend to fall accidentally and say that you can't walk and wait for him to pick you up.

For example, with tears in her eyes, she would throw herself into his arms and say softly that she was really wronged.

For example, while the two of them were pulling each other, she accidentally loosened her clothes and caught his eyes.

…

All of them are useful tricks.

But when she saw his dog-like appearance, Shen Qi knew——

Save all that.

Chen Qi walked straight to the chair behind the desk, turned sideways, and sat in his arms.
