While waiting for Qinghua to come back, Shen Yuerong counted her dowry again. She did feel that some of the amounts were wrong, but they were just a little gold and silver, so she didn't take it seriously.
After a while, Qinghua came back.
Shen Yuerong saw Qinghua's unhappy look from a distance.
"What's wrong? Did someone in the mansion bully you?"
"I went to look for the dowry list for the young lady, but the housekeeper insisted that the dowry list was not in his hands and was taken by someone else. When I asked who it was, he refused to tell me. After I asked him too many times, he said I didn't trust him and asked me to look for it myself."
The steward in the mansion has a good temper and has received favors from Shen Yuerong before. If he really had it in his hand, he would never deliberately hold it back like this.
Since he said so, it means he doesn't have it in his hands either.
"It's good that the manager has a personal relationship with me. Moreover, if he has it, he won't refuse to give it to you."
"Then he is..."
Shen Yuerong stopped Qinghua and said, “Maybe it’s really not in his hands.”
"Can that be there?"
This dowry list has no use on a daily basis?
What's more, Shen Yuerong never cared about the dowry.
There were also many items in the dowry that were brought from the palace, but she didn't like them very much and had thrown them into the warehouse a long time ago.
It seemed that someone knew in advance that she was going to investigate the contents of her dowry, and took them away in advance, fearing that she might find out that there were items missing from her dowry.
"Could it be the old lady and the others? They have been supported by the young lady for so many years. The young lady has helped them build such a large family business, but they are still not satisfied. What else do they want?"
Shen Yuerong was sometimes very curious. The general's family was living a very good life now. The four of them, mother and children, had enough food and clothing, but they still refused to let her go.
It's probably because human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant.
When you have a good life, you want to live a better life.
Shen Yuerong whispered a few words in her ear, and Qinghua nodded immediately.
"I know miss!"
——
Before the evening meal arrived, Shen Yuerong saw Fu Hengyu.
"Rong'er, come out quickly and see what I bought for you."
As he spoke, he walked over and placed the almost no-hot pastry in his hand on the table.
"I heard from mother that you liked their cakes very much, so I ran to buy some for you as soon as I got off work. I didn't expect that it was a little late when I went there, and there were only some leftovers, and they were still a little cold."
"But I thought you hadn't eaten it for a long time, and you must have missed it, so I bought it for you."
Shen Yuerong's eyes fell on the opened box, which contained some cakes that looked completely shabby.
It looked like they had all been picked out, and the remaining odds and ends, if I remembered correctly, would not be sold by the pastry shop owners on weekdays, but would be given to homeless beggars.
Is he comparing himself to those beggars out there who can't even fill their stomachs?
Seeing that Shen Yuerong hadn't spoken for a long time, he suddenly came to his senses and saw the odds and ends on the table.
"There weren't so many crumbs originally. It was because of me that they became more broken. Forget it. This is inedible. I'll have it thrown away."
Shen Yuerong reached out and stopped Fu Hengyu's hand, "This is the first time in all these years that you have personally bought cakes for me."
Fu Hengyu sat next to her and said, "I will take good care of you in the future."
His hands clasped around Shen Yuerong's waist, as if to protect her.
"It's my fault for being clumsy and breaking them."
The pastries in the capital city were made in various styles with unique flavors and were often decorated with carvings. However, the carvings on the surface have long disappeared without a trace, and even the flavors are a bit confusing.
"As long as it's you who bought it, I'm happy."
Shen Yuerong reached out and took a piece and put it in her mouth. The slightly salty and sweet taste penetrated her heart. It was a bit unpalatable, but she still pretended to be very delicious and swallowed it into her stomach.
"tasty."
At this moment, she just wanted to pretend that she was really in love with her husband and pretend that this was their sweet time after marriage.
Perhaps, this kind of self-deception can make her heart less painful?
Can……
Why does it hurt more?
Fu Hengyu finally felt relieved when he saw that she was not as frightened as before.
This woman is still as gullible as ever.
"As long as you like it, I will remember to buy it for you early tomorrow. I will not let you eat these small pieces again."
Shen Yuerong didn't say anything, she just ate a few more cakes and put them down when she felt her stomach was a little full.
"I'm a little full."
"We won't eat when we are full."
He helped Shen Yuerong to the inner room again, and looking at Shen Yuerong's face with a slight smile, he felt a little guilty.
"I said a lot of excessive things yesterday. Later I thought about it and realized that I really shouldn't have said those things to you. Although I have worked hard outside these years, you have never had a day of leisure in the mansion. I was just thinking too much."
He stretched out his hand, then squatted down to look at him at eye level.
"I know how difficult it is for you, and I hope you can understand my difficulties. We are husband and wife now, and we should prosper together and suffer together, so I don't want to..."
"I know what my husband means. From the beginning to the end, I hope to be able to work hand in hand with my husband. No matter how difficult the days are, as long as you and I are together, there will be a bright future."
"It's great that you think so."
Fu Hengyu stood up with some surprise, and then said, "I am really happy today."
