Yuan Zhao originally wanted to leave her alone for a day before agreeing, but he didn't expect that Wei Shaoqing would come back that night.
They haven't seen each other since their last fight.
When he came to Fengqiyuan today, Yuan Zhao was lying on the chaise longue and playing with Zhizhi.
She had just finished bathing and didn't know Wei Shaoqing would come back. The room was warm, so she only wore her inner garment made of jade brocade.
A brocade belt is tied around her waist, making her waist look slender and easy to hold.
She had her back to the screen, and her butterfly bones were faintly visible.
This was the scene Wei Shaoqing saw when he came in.
He walked slowly forward and put his arms around Yuan Zhao's waist from behind.
Yuan Zhao shuddered and tried to hide when he realized who was behind him.
But Wei Shaoqing embraced her, resting his head on her neck, and said in a deep voice, "My wife smells so good..."
…
A feeling of nausea came over me.
Gan Tang and Bi Yun had just been sent by her to deal with something, and she guessed that it was other maids outside, so she didn't inform them.
Yuan Zhao suppressed her nausea and lowered her eyes, "How did my husband find time to come back?"
Come to think of it, could it be for Lord Chen’s birthday party?
Wei Wanxue saw that her attempts to persuade her failed, so she moved Wei Shaoqing back.
The chaise longue was large, so Wei Shaoqing took advantage of the situation and lay down behind her. He didn't mention the birthday banquet, but instead kept rubbing his hand against her waist, whether intentionally or unintentionally. "Madam, are you blaming me?"
Yuan Zhao took a deep breath and continued to play with Zhizhi with the rattle in his hand to distract himself. "My husband is the governor of a state. I understand that he is not in good health this year and is busy with official duties."
Wei Shaoqing couldn't help but move closer, took something out of his arms and handed it to Yuan Zhao.
It is a pink gem about half the size of a fist.
"I haven't been home these days. Firstly, I've been busy with official duties, and secondly, I'm upset after my wife and I had an argument." His words were filled with tenderness. "But I've been thinking about finding some gifts for my wife these days. She loves gems, and this pink gem is perfect for her."
The pink gem in front of me looks crystal clear and has a very good luster under the candlelight. It is a rare treasure.
Yuan Zhao thought back to the past when the two of them would quarrel from time to time. Whenever this happened, Wei Shaoqing would find some gifts and say some nice words to apologize.
He was so gentle in front of her, how could she have imagined that he was keeping another woman outside?
Perhaps because Yuan Zhao was stunned and didn't answer, Wei Shaoqing couldn't help but want to untie her clothes, "Your husband has apologized, shouldn't you also express your gratitude?"
His tone was suggestive, and Yuan Zhaoshi didn't know why he suddenly became so close to her.
Isn’t it enough to be in Xingyu Lane?
"Wow!" Suddenly there was a loud cry beside me.
It is Yuan Zhizhi.
Wei Shaoqing paused, and Yuan Zhao took the opportunity to turn over, straighten his clothes, and gave him an apologetic smile.
"Zhizhi might be hungry, I'll comfort her."
Yuan Zhizhi kicked her calf and kicked the pink gem to the ground.
[He specifically sent a better one to his mistress! Why is he just giving his mother such a small one?]
Wei Shaoqing looked at the gem rolling on the ground and felt depressed.
Even the look on his face when he looked at Yuan Zhizhi was not very good.
Just as the mother said, this little daughter has no manners at all!
But he seemed to have forgotten that Yuan Zhizhi was only a baby of two months old.
Yuan Zhizhi's sobs were deafening, and Wei Shaoqing was becoming increasingly annoyed. He pinched his brows and got down to business: "The day after tomorrow is Master Chen's seventieth birthday. You are the mistress of the Wei Mansion, so bring Wanxue and me along."
Lord Chen was Wei Shaoqing's predecessor. Although he has retired now, he still has a lot of influence in the officialdom of Yangzhou, so Wei Shaoqing naturally has to go there.
Yuan Zhao coaxed Yuan Zhizhi while saying, "Didn't you always go to these banquets by yourself in the past? I haven't been feeling well lately, so why don't you go by yourself?"
Wei Shaoqing looked at her as she lowered her eyes to coax the child. Her face was extremely beautiful, with some maternal gentleness. He was slightly stunned and a little dazed.
A few days ago, at the government office, my colleagues kept joking with me:
"Lord Wei is truly blessed! He has a beautiful princess hidden in his golden house. The princess has seldom left the house in all these years, and Lord Wei has raised her like a fairy!"
"My wife came back from the Li family's banquet and praised Your Highness's stunning beauty."
"No wonder Lord Wei returns home on time every day. With such a beauty in this family, who can resist?"
"Not only is Your Highness beautiful, but she also helps Lord Wei with his affairs. She even gave out porridge and silver a while ago. She is truly a virtuous person!"
…
Wei Shaoqing has always known in his heart that in terms of appearance alone, Bai Ruyue is much duller than Yuan Zhao.
He couldn't help but think of how Yuan Zhao looked when he first met her, so bright and charming.
When they first got married, he was extremely in love with Yuan Zhao, but Yuan Zhao's status and personality were far inferior to Bai Ruoyue's tenderness.
Over the years, she became more and more neurotic because of the child's affairs. Wei Shaoqing didn't want to come back every day to face a sad face, so he always stayed in Xingyu Lane.
But these days, she seems to have changed a little...
"Wow wow wow wow!"
Yuan Zhizhi's crying brought Wei Shaoqing back to his senses.
Yuan Zhao saw Wei Shaoqing was distracted, and her heart tightened. She frowned, "Husband, I keep dreaming about Qi Yu lately..."
Before he could finish his words, Wei Shaoqing raised his hand to interrupt him. He said impatiently, "It's been several years, and I don't even know where he went. Are you tired of thinking about him all the time?"
Yuan Zhao's face froze, and he clenched his hands around Yuan Zhizhi, feeling a sweet and fishy feeling in his chest.
She pursed her lips and wanted to say, "That's your child too," but when the words came to her lips, she saw Wei Shaoqing's impatient face and couldn't say anything.
I felt cold all over.
His good mood was interrupted and Wei Shaoqing didn't want to stay any longer.
He stood up from the couch and said, "You have a good rest. I'll go to the study. Come with me to the birthday party at the Chen Mansion in two days."
Yuan Zhao watched Wei Shaoqing leave until Gan Tang came in and said that he had left Fengqiyuan. Only then did Yuan Zhizhi's voice gradually fade away.
She pinched her little daughter's chubby face.
Fortunately, Zhizhi came to the rescue today.
She and Wei Shaoqing were still married in name only, and she had not exposed his secret of having a mistress.
They have been married for more than ten years, and naturally they had a lot of intimate things in the past, but now Yuan Zhao has known about his infidelity and betrayal, and she doesn't want to have such involvement with him anymore.
What happened today served as a wake-up call for her.
Before the two of them divorced, she couldn't completely reject Wei Shaoqing.
If I refuse too many times, he might become suspicious, which would be detrimental to the overall situation.
We need to think of a way.
