Chapter 81 It Can't Be Done

When Madam Liao saw the injuries on Madam Liu's body, she was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"This is not a woman at all, this is simply a devil!"

Nanny Liao never expected that she would run into such a tough opponent this time.

She instructed a maid beside her.

"Remember, keep the news secret and don't let anyone know."

The maid nodded eagerly, turned and walked out.

Nanny Liao hurried into Jingjiaoyuan and cleared her throat.

"lady."

Mrs. Wen was looking at the account book, frowning.

"Um."

"The girl from Yueyingxuan refused to learn the rules and even injured the nanny I hired."

Mrs. Wen was so shocked that she didn't know what to do.

"You mean eleven people were injured?"

"Exactly."

Mrs. Wen was very impatient.

"She is so troublesome every day. She is not even willing to learn the little rules. How will she get along with other ladies in the future? Will she still be willing to marry Heng'er?"

"Madam, with a temper like that, how can a young lady be the mistress of a mansion? I'm afraid she will cause chaos in the mansion and make everyone in it restless!"

Mrs. Wen was silent for a moment.

"Forget it, forget it. Let her be. If she doesn't want to learn, then she doesn't want to learn. I will teach her myself later."

Madam Liao looked incredulous.

It has come to this, why is Madam still compromising? Shouldn't she expel that woman from the mansion and leave her to fend for herself?

In Yueyingxuan, Chen Shiyi was lying in bed recuperating from his injuries.

She lay on her side, reading a book.

Wen Zhiheng didn't come back until the fifth day.

As soon as he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he rushed to Yueyingxuan and was very happy to see Chen Shiyi.

He sat beside Chen Shiyi's bed and opened a black box. Large, bright, white pearls appeared.

Chen Shiyi glanced at him lightly and then lowered his head to read.

Wen Zhiheng lowered his head and glanced at her carefully.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"In the past few days, a big thing happened in the Ministry of Revenue. Everyone is busy. We eat and live in the Ministry of Revenue. Don't be angry. I came back to see you this time."

Seeing that Chen Shiyi remained silent, he suddenly felt uneasy.

"Eleven, you talk to me less and less."

Chen Shiyi raised his head and looked at Wen Zhiheng quietly.

Wen Zhiheng took a look and wondered why her face was so pale.

He took her hand and asked nervously.

"Are you sick? What's wrong with you?"

"no."

Wen Zhiheng was worried.

"I'll ask Yunshan to get a doctor to come over and take a look at you."

Chen Shiyi pulled his sleeve.

"Never mind, it's nothing serious, just a little tired."

Wen Zhiheng held her face and rested his forehead against hers.

"Eleven, I did a great job this time. When I was awarded, I didn't want anything else. I just wanted this rare pearl, so I asked for it. I thought, my Eleven would be so happy when he saw it, but..."

"Of course I am happy. Maybe I am a little tired these two days. Don't worry about it."

She pushed Wen Zhiheng away and spoke softly.

"You just came back. Ask Yunshan to prepare a bucket of hot water for you so that you can have a good rest. I want to rest too."

Wen Zhiheng looked at her tired expression and nodded.

"good."

After Wen Zhiheng left, Shi Liu came in and saw the sparkling pearls placed on the bedside, her eyes lit up.

"Girl, Pomegranate has never seen such a big pearl before. It must be very expensive."

"Well, put it away and put it in the gilded box on the right."

Shi Liu was thinking about something and looked worried.

"Girl, haven't you told the prince about what happened these days?"

"not."

"Why?"

Chen Shiyi lay on his side, silent for a long while, and said lazily.

"Pomegranate, I'm picking something."

"What are you collecting?"

"disappointment."

"What?"

Chen Shiyi suddenly sat up straight again, looked at the swaying Phoenix Tail Bamboo outside the window with dim eyes, and murmured softly.

"If I gather my disappointments together, I can fulfill a promise. I once made a promise to him. In this way, I can walk my own way without distraction."

Shi Liu didn't know why, but the girl looked very sad. She seemed to smile very rarely. She happened to hear the prince say that the girl used to be a cheerful and quirky person who always did strange things. But was the person the prince was talking about really the person in front of her?

"If he stands up for me, I'll owe him a favor, and I won't be able to repay him if it goes back and forth like this."

"But aren't you going to get married? Isn't it the prince's responsibility to stand up for you?"

Chen Shiyi smiled grimly.

"Pomegranate, the marriage cannot be successful..."

Pomegranate was very surprised.

"Why can't it be done?"

"Even though Wen Zhiheng agrees, I agree, my wife agrees, the Marquis agrees, and even the entire Marquisate agrees, the secular world will not agree."

"Why?"

"You know why Madam Liao hates me so much. Madam Liu dared to bully me because I used to be of lower status than them, but now I can soar to the sky and will become their master in the future. How could they be willing to watch it? They will definitely do everything they can to stop it."

"Why should we let them do what they want? The master has the final say in the Marquis' Mansion."

"How is it possible that such a big incident happened and the Marquis' Mansion didn't even know about it?"

"Just wait and see what the result will be..."

Chen Shiyi continued speaking dimly.

"This is a bad root of human nature that will never be eradicated."

These days, after getting off work, Wen Zhiheng stayed in Yueyingxuan every day, having meals and talking with Chen Shiyi.

When Xiuniang came to tailor a wedding dress for Chen Shiyi, Wen Zhiheng happened to be there.

He looked at Chen Shiyi with a smile as he watched her cooperate obediently with Xiu Niang, and his heart was warmed.

He felt that he could not wait any longer.

He couldn't wait to lift her red veil, to cut candles with her, to drink wedding wine with her, to spend the wedding night with her and go to Wushan Mountain together, and he couldn't wait to have a child with her, a child who looked like her, quirky and adorable...

Chen Shiyi has been busy for a while. Every day, he either measures body shapes, foot sizes, or chooses colors and patterns...

At first I was able to be patient and give in a few times, but if it happened more than once…

She didn't want to do this.

Every time she did it in a hurry, Wen Zhiheng felt uncomfortable seeing her impatient look, so he grabbed her and sat her next to him, and asked her carefully what she thought one by one. If she didn't agree, he would keep asking her repeatedly until she was satisfied.

"Eleven, this is our wedding, can you please be a little more thoughtful?"

Chen Shiyi tried hard to endure the discomfort.

"Okay, that's it for today. I'm a little tired."

Wen Zhiheng lowered his head, bit his lips tightly, and suppressed the bitterness in his heart.

"Eleven, you said you would try to like me, you said..."

Chen Shiyi narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Wen Zhiheng's voice was choked with sobs as he comforted himself.

"It's okay, it's okay, we just need to get married."

For a while afterwards, Wen Zhiheng stayed close to Chen Shiyi, carefully applying the scar removal cream to her, smoothing her hands bit by bit, or sitting at the desk holding her hand and teaching her how to write, or just hugging her without saying a word...
