"You don't like women who are out in the public eye. She hides behind the curtains every day, watching and eavesdropping."

"You like a big, glorious son who will bring honor to the family, and she risked her life to have one child after another."

"In order to avoid being rejected by you and to be accepted, she finally gave up her ego and became the person you and your mother liked. She became gentle, humble, and self-deprecating."

"But you, don't you hate her?"

This sentence!

This last sentence!

The question made Shopkeeper Wu stunned on the spot.

The question startled the woman who was eavesdropping behind the door curtain. She subconsciously raised her hand and placed it on the protruding belly.

Boom boom boom...

I don’t know if it was the fetal heartbeat that was so deafening, or if it was my own dead heart that rekindled and began beating violently.

The woman didn't know. Her mind was blank. All that remained was Chen Wei's words, which were tinged with sarcasm and rhetorical questions. They were so straightforward and so heart-wrenching that they shattered all her cognition.

yes.

She has given so much, doesn't her husband despise her?

No, disgusting!

She's not stupid, she can feel it.

She could see the disdain for herself in Manager Wu's eyes, and she knew even more clearly that Manager Wu had been keeping a mistress outside without telling her. If her baby was not a boy, he would definitely be taken into the family.

"you--"

"You, you are talking nonsense!"

"How, how can this be the same..." Shopkeeper Wu was terrified, feeling that his three views were shattered at this moment.

He wanted to overturn the truth of what Shen Wei said.

I wanted to say something else, but I couldn't find a way out.

Chen Wei packed up her things and left with Xiaoman. Before leaving, she glanced at the curtain at the side door: "Why is it different? A fresh vegetable."

"When you peel it open, you'll see it's all dirty dirt inside."

“The human heart is the same.”

Chen Wei left.

The woman was afraid of being noticed by Chen Wei, so she pressed her body against the wall.

She was breathing rapidly and it took her a while to calm down.

She quietly opened the door a little to look at the woman who had already walked away. An indescribable emotion arose in her heart. She blinked and found tears all over her face.

The suffering, pain, frustration, repression, and ridicule of these past few years...

All the grievances burst out in an instant.

She covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud: "Wuwuwuwu..."

"I, I don't want to give up martial arts training...but everyone tells me that I should give up. Only in this way can I gain the love of my husband and the acceptance and love of my mother-in-law..."

"I did it all. I did it all."

"But I don't understand. I don't understand why my husband would go out and look for a daughter. Is it just because I gave birth to a daughter instead of a son..."

"what do I do?"

"Am I wrong? Am I not good enough and not motivated enough? Wuwu..."

Not only the woman's cognition was impacted.

Even the male apprentices were at a loss for words to refute.

They wanted to refute Chen Wei and say that it was not true.

I want to say that it’s because women are not good enough, not virtuous enough, and not considerate enough...but isn’t it really?

Ask yourself, isn’t it really?

Chen Wei walked around the group of male apprentices without changing his expression and took Xiaoman out of the martial arts hall.

"Miss, it's the Marquis." Xiaoman looked at the carriage parked not far away and immediately showed joy. She pulled Chen Wei's sleeve and said, "It must be the Marquis who cares about you and has come to take you back home."

Chen Wei looked up.

Sure enough, I saw the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion.

Xie Yuchuan sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, his mind full of Chen Wei's stubborn look, who was shaking with pain all over but still refused to give up.

He thought he must be crazy!

Why did he become soft-hearted again and allow Chen Wei to continue practicing martial arts?

“Wow.”

Someone sat down next to him.

Xie Yuchuan didn't even need to open his eyes; he knew who the visitor was just by smelling the fragrance: "Weiwei, don't you have anything to tell me recently?"

Chen Wei took one look at his gloomy expression.

I know what Xie Yuchuan is thinking and what he is struggling with.

She smiled softly, "Yes."

Xie Yuchuan opened his eyes and looked at her.

"I want to go out with Aunt Zhao tomorrow morning to the temple to worship Buddha and burn incense, and pray for the two unborn children."

"Look at this Marquis' Mansion. Ever since you killed... no, you accidentally miscarried the first child, the same thing happened to the second one. For the sake of the Marquis's offspring, I have to do something."

It's like that again.

Every time I sit down to talk with Chen Wei, the first thing he talks about is his dead child.

Every time Xie Yuchuan listened to this, he felt flustered.

His brows twitched several times, then he took a deep breath and frowned, "Weiwei, could you please stop talking about this? I know you feel bad about it, but it really makes me uncomfortable."

"Don't you realize that you are avoiding me now?"

"I promised you martial arts lessons and that I would let you run your business yourself, but what about you?"

"You leave the house early in the morning and don't come back until the evening. It's even difficult for me to see you or even talk to you. What's wrong with you lately?"

Xie Yuchuan stared closely at Chen Wei's beautiful and lively face.

He saw,

The smile on this face suddenly froze.

then.

The other party restrained all smiles and looked at him calmly and unfamiliarly: "Xie Yuchuan, don't you like me like this?"

"I won't make trouble with you anymore, I won't argue with you anymore, I won't cry for the position of wife anymore, I won't force you to divorce Qin Shuyu anymore, I won't force you to remain a virgin for me anymore, don't you like it?"

These words made Xie Yuchuan stunned on the spot.

The behavior of Chen Wei before him was the change he had dreamed of seeing for a whole year.

But now Chen Wei has really become like this.

She no longer pressed him for a position.

But he...felt even more aggrieved and uncomfortable than before.

There was no way to express this kind of discomfort in words. Xie Yuchuan didn't even know how to blame Chen Wei, because the current Chen Wei was the one he had once screamed for with such a broken heart!

"It's not that I don't like you like this."

Xie Yuchuan said patiently: "But you always make me feel alienated."

Chen Wei today is as bright and dazzling as she was at the border, but it feels like she is no longer the same person she was at the border.

Because in Xie Yuchuan's impression, Weiwei would not look at him with such a strange and emotionless gaze!

Chen Wei listened.

He immediately twisted his thigh.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

She cried just right, and Xie Yuchuan's face changed: "Xie Yuchuan, it's not that I want to be estranged from you... It's you who said before that I have changed and become a shrew."
