…
When Shen Yuerong returned to the courtyard, she saw Qinghua.
Qinghua came forward anxiously and pushed aside the person behind her impatiently.
"Miss, you are going out. Why don't you wait until I come back? You can see how scared I must be when I come back and don't see you."
"Didn't I leave you a note telling you that it was my mother who was looking for me?"
"Because it was the old lady, I am even more worried. Did the old lady not do anything?"
Seeing Qinghua's anxious look, Shen Yuerong laughed.
"Do you think your master is someone they can just attack at will?"
Shen Yuerong sighed and waved to the girl behind her, "You go down first."
The girl bowed and turned to leave.
"Push me over there."
Shen Yuerong pointed to the table beside her, and Qinghua pushed the person over obediently.
"How are you finding the things written on the paper I gave you?"
"All the other things are available in pharmacies, but the quantity is a little scarce. There is only one herb, Huilian. I have almost visited all the pharmacies in the capital, but I still can't find this herb."
Qinghua was in a low mood. This matter was so important, yet Shen Yuerong entrusted her with it, which showed how much trust she had in her.
But she...hadn't arranged the whole thing.
"No problem."
Shen Yuerong did not blame her, but said, "You have worked very hard to find the other things for me. Go back and rest early today, and don't blame yourself."
Qinghua nodded, but still felt a little unwilling.
"Why don't I go to a pharmacy outside the capital tomorrow to look for it. Maybe I can find it somewhere else?"
"This Huilian is not a product of the Central Plains. It is normal that the pharmacy does not have it... You don't have to think that it is your fault."
Shen Yuerong really didn’t blame her for this, “I just wanted to try it.”
When including this medicinal material in the list, Shen Yuerong had already made up her mind that she might not be able to find it in the capital.
Qinghua bit her lip, looking very negative.
"If this prescription is gone, will Miss's medicine be affected too much?"
Shen Yuerong shook her head, "If there is, then it is beautiful, if there is not, then it is plain."
She just wanted to achieve better results, so she put this rare medicinal ingredient in it.
"That's good."
She waved her hand and said, "I want to sit alone for a while, you go first."
Qinghua couldn't persuade her, so he took the clothes and handed them to her before turning around and leaving.
Not long after leaving, Fu Hengyu pushed the door open and walked in.
Shen Yuerong was originally deep in thought about something. When she heard the voice, she looked up wearily and saw him looking a little angry.
"Husband."
She sat there and just nodded slightly, without any movement in her body.
"You are becoming more and more unruly now."
His brows were filled with unresolved blame. "I heard from my mother that she has left all the affairs of the mansion to you over the years, and she thought she had never treated you unfairly. But my mother only has this one thought, why don't you fulfill it?"
"Why wouldn't I agree? Didn't the old lady insist on letting that girl enter the house, and didn't I agree?"
"But you made her a slave!"
"Why can't I make her my slave?"
Shen Yuerong never backed down on this matter. Her tilted neck and the coldness in her tone completely explained one thing.
"you……"
She looked indifferent and took a sip of the somewhat cold tea in front of her.
"I have already told you and the old lady that I don't like that girl. I don't want her to appear in the general's mansion. I don't like being a mother to someone who has no blood relationship with me."
"What I want is a child who belongs to me and has my blood and effort in his veins, but... who of you has ever respected my ideas?"
"Isn't it your body that is really unable to bear a child now?"
"The imperial physician has told you several times that although the cold weather that year injured my legs, it did not hurt my body at all. It will not affect my offspring. As long as you are willing to give me a chance, I can have a child with you and me."
The sonorous and powerful tone made him dazed.
When did the woman in front of me become so ruthless?
"You never spoke like this before, you never spoke so harshly, and you never were so disrespectful to your aunt and your husband."
Fu Hengyu had sensed that something was wrong with the woman in front of him, and there was a hint of inquiry in his expression.
"Who are you? You can't be...Chen Yuerong."
"Why am I not her?"
Shen Yuerong put down the teacup in her hand, supported by the cane beside her, and stood up with difficulty.
“The lady in front of you who is willing to become a useless lady in the backyard for you, the wife who always speaks softly to you, the wife who has taken a backseat in worldly affairs, is Shen Yuerong?”
She snorted coldly.
"But you forgot that I am the only descendant of the Divine Doctor. I hold the rank of a third-rank official and have a royal title. Compared to you, the general, I am the superior and you are the inferior. All these years, it was only because I gave you face that you were able to live so freely outside."
Status has always been the icing on the cake for her.
After being with Fu Hengyu, she was afraid that he would feel resentful because of their different social status, so she never took her status to heart again.
For the future of the General's Mansion, she put aside the medical books left by her father. Her hands, which had been well-taught and devoted to orchestral music, were now covered with calluses because of the past three years.
"Don't forget how old the General's Mansion was when I married you, and how old it is today. You should be grateful to me in your heart."
"We are husband and wife, how can we talk about gratitude? Moreover, in this world, most women are in charge of household affairs, while men work outside. This is natural. Why is it a sin when it comes to you?"
"What did you say? Fu Hengyu!"
Shen Yuerong's voice became louder and louder, startling several servants who had gone out to play in the yard and made them come out.
When he realized it was a quarrel among the host family, he quickly turned around and hid back.
"say what?"
His tone was slightly aggrieved as he looked at his strong and good wife in front of him.
"You are really unreasonable. You never threatened me with your status before, but now you say such hurtful words!"
"Do you think I'm too good to you, that's why I act so recklessly?"
He pretended to be sad, his eyes full of grief.
Shen Yuerong wanted to clarify the topic, but suddenly felt a little powerless. She looked at the person in front of her and sighed.
"Forget it. There is no point in saying more. There are some things that you and I already know in our hearts. Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask anymore. Just go!"
In the past, she really wanted to live happily with him for the rest of her life, but now the truth is before her eyes, and she can no longer be that butterfly in her dreams.
