"Yes, perhaps Fengqin is right. I might have really used the wrong approach before. Some things really can't be rushed. You may leave now!"
Shen Jinchen tied his belt and shooed the person away.
After Shang Se left, Shen Jinchen used his light-footed skill to disappear without a trace.
After entering the city, Cen Xi went into a clothing store, bought a set of men's clothes, changed into Jiang Yu's appearance, and entered the Wen residence.
Upon entering Wen Qihe's boudoir, one would find her poking her fingers alone, utterly bored.
His face was similar to Jun Jianchou's; although it looked better, it was still somewhat swollen.
"Oh dear, my wife, what has happened to you?"
As soon as Cen Xi sat down, she couldn't help but tease him.
"It's all because of your terrible idea. You might have been able to take advantage of my weakness. Look at the state I've been in!"
Wen Qihe got angry as soon as she saw her. What kind of person is she?
“Jun Jianchou would never hit someone, would he? He’s highly educated and has the demeanor of a gentleman. What’s going on between you two? I saw him a few days ago with a swollen face.”
Cen Xi was completely bewildered.
"He was drunk and mistook me for you, which offended him. If I weren't a match for you, you wouldn't be standing in front of me right now."
Wen Qihe suppressed the urge to hit someone and glared at Cen Xi.
"Don't you like him? Have you already slept with him?"
Cen Xi looked completely unconcerned.
"Damn it, if I love someone, that person has to love me back. If they don't love me, I'd rather become a nun. When he kissed me, I punched him, and then we started fighting. That's how we ended up like this. My brother kept it a secret, so not many people know about it."
Wen Qihe stood up abruptly and cursed at Cen Xi. Immediately, a stinging pain shot through her face, forcing her to sit down and explain in a gentler tone.
"Okay, Jun Jianchou is a stubborn guy. It'll be hard for you to make him like you willingly. You'll probably never get married in your life. I told you two to fight, so why are you always picking on each other? Look at you, how am I supposed to take you out to play now?"
Cen Xi didn't care about Wen Qihe's attitude towards her. After all, she had become like this because of her. A prime minister's belly can hold a boat. Although she was not the prime minister, she could still be magnanimous about things related to her.
"I don't like him anymore. I'll like someone else. That way, I'll be able to get married eventually."
Wen Qihe was disheartened.
"You... you say you like someone and then you say you don't, is that how you show liking someone?"
Cen Xi remained silent.
"Of course, I don't want to be someone else's substitute. The man I, Wen Qihe, want can only have me in his heart. Otherwise, I would rather poison that man to death."
Wen Qihe pouted and said with a serious expression.
“I like this idea. I don’t plan to get married. If you really can’t find a suitable person, you can come and live with me at Feifeng Mountain. We won’t become monks or nuns, so we won’t get married. Think about it, if you become a monk, you can only eat vegetarian food and you can’t even eat meat. You like lotus leaf smoked chicken so much, can you endure it if you become a monk?”
Cen Xi was overjoyed to hear her say that. She liked this girl's personality very much. No wonder she was so tolerant of her.
In modern times, many successful women choose not to get married. This girl has a very progressive mindset; she's just as good as her.
Hearing her say that, Cen Xi also realized something: in the future, if that scoundrel wants to do *that*, as long as he gives her 100,000 taels of gold, she will cooperate, cooperate fully.
In this way, she not only got money—after all, women enjoy this kind of thing, just look at Zhu Yanniang—but even though she didn't try it herself, that scoundrel touched her whole body, so she was at a loss too.
"Hey, why are there red marks on your neck? You didn't sleep with some random guy and then come here, did you?"
Wen Qihe was thinking about Cen Xi's words, wondering if she was right. She liked to eat meat, and it seemed a bit inappropriate for her to be a nun. She was about to discuss it with her when she inadvertently noticed the red marks on Cen Xi's neck.
So he immediately stood up, walked up to Cen Xi, and pulled open her clothes to take a closer look.
Cen Xi's face flushed instantly under Wen Qihe's gaze. She quickly pulled her clothes together and pulled Wen Qihe's hand away.
"I saw everything. What are you hiding? Tell me, was it one of the Prime Ministers who came? You and him..."
Seeing Cen Xi's expression, Wen Qihe immediately wore a meaningful smile. She guessed that she and that Shen Jinchen must have some kind of secret relationship.
She had personally heard him say that she was already his woman.
"We didn't do anything, don't overthink it."
Cen Xi's face flushed even more when she thought about the things she hadn't finished that morning.
"You're telling me not to overthink it? Look at yourself, you're all flushed."
Wen Qihe wanted to laugh as she listened to her weak rebuttal.
Cen Xi…
Just as Cen Xi was wondering how to explain her relationship with Shen Jinchen, Wen Qi entered their courtyard.
"I heard the son-in-law is back?"
As soon as Wen Qixi came in, she asked Qiaoying, who was standing outside the door.
"Yes, they're talking inside."
Qiaoying glanced at the room with a complicated expression and nodded.
“My brother came, and you even said you liked him, but you did that kind of thing with someone else. I feel so ashamed for you.”
Wen Qihe finally got her way in front of Cen Xi.
If I can't beat her in the future, I'll use this to tease her.
"Your brother is definitely my type. If it weren't for your sister-in-law, I would definitely snatch him away."
When Wen Qixi came in, Cen Xi looked at him and responded to Wen Qihe's words.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qixi was not the only one who came; his wife also followed behind.
Upon hearing this, her expression changed immediately, and she looked at Cen Xi with a sense of disgust.
Cen Xi was amused by that look; was she perhaps scolding her for being shameless?
That would be great, why doesn't she try a power struggle within the household?
She didn't get a chance to really show off her skills at Wang Dashan's house last time. How about she turns the Wen family upside down again?
“My husband, she is indeed a good girl. If you like Miss Cen, I will accept you as my sister.”
"What's your opinion, my husband?"
Seeing that no one in the room spoke, Madam Wen spoke first, saying these words to Cen Xi, and then looked at Wen Qixi with a smile.
"She was just joking. You go back first. I need to talk to her about something. I'll come back to be with you after that."
Wen Qi gently held Mrs. Wen's hand, comforting her. The affection in her eyes was genuine to anyone who saw it.
After Wen Qi finished speaking, Madam Wen glanced at her husband, softly said "okay," and left.
The whole process was appropriate and showed great understanding.
Cen Xi couldn't help but laugh. She was only joking, but the other person had put on a show of deep affection for her.
"I know that Miss Cen is playful. If you like it in the future, you should say less. After all, it is not easy for me to find a wife who is compatible with me."
