Chapter 83
Chapter 83
Under the night light, the pair of eyes looked at her quietly, as deep as the sea, with a hint of loss in them, as if she had abandoned him.
Wen Shuse's heart warmed up, and he blurted out, "Yes."
She didn't know what was wrong with him today, but she could do it on this issue. Facing his increasingly deep gaze, she assured him again: "Yes, I will keep you in my heart."
She looked so righteous and generous, as if there was nothing in the world that she couldn't solve. The feeling of frustration in his heart surfaced again. But he didn't let her go this time. Even if she was a piece of rotten wood, he had to dig out her heart. "Then tell me, how to let her go."
How to put it.
She couldn't explain it for a moment.
"My dear, would you like to eat candied haws?" He probably wouldn't like it. "It's too sweet. My mother doesn't like it, and neither do I. What do you like? I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
That's what she took to heart.
"I never indulge in food."
Wen Shuse believed this. After he became "poor and destitute", he was only uncomfortable with the first two meals. After that, he never picked and chose again and he continued to eat coarse grains.
He didn't like it, so Wen Shuse leaned over and asked him softly, "What do you like, sir?"
Things are different now. They are different now. The hard days are over. As long as her husband wants something, she can satisfy him.
She is always defenseless towards him. She seems to be the enthusiastic and proactive one, but once you get close to her, you will find that she is hollow inside.
It can freeze people to death.
Can't she see what he likes? It's this face that makes him uneasy every day. Although he doesn't see her during the day, as soon as he closes his eyes, she is everywhere.
What about her? Am I dispensable to her?
Xie Shao did not agree to her, his eyes fell deeply on the face of the young lady five fingers away, and he did not hide his admiration for her at all. He told her to be proud and complacent as she pleased...
He boldly opened his mind to her.
He didn't care whether she was cherished or ravaged. Anyway, he was held in the palm of the young lady's hand and there was no hope for him.
Wen Shu looked at him blankly.
What does he mean by that expression...
The two had been involved in numerous quarrels since they got married, but she had never seen him look at her like that before. She couldn't describe the feeling, she just felt that those eyes were like a vast ocean, which didn't frighten her, but made her slowly sink in. Her heart was so tense that it was about to jump out, but her body couldn't move at all.
After looking for a long time, the surprise and doubt in her eyes slowly faded away and sank along with the deep sea in her lover's eyes.
After a moment, the man raised his chin slightly, and she actually lowered her head and leaned forward to respond.
The moment their lips touched, the chaos in her heart forced her to close her eyes.
Xie Shao never gave her a chance to escape this time. He stretched out his hands and clasped the back of her head tightly. At first, their lips were entangled with trembling and caution. She could feel his tenderness, but later he gradually lost control.
He vented out all the neglect he had suffered in the past few days and his longing for the young lady. He used so much force that he even pulled the wound on the other shoulder.
I don’t care anymore. I don’t want my life, I just want the young lady.
The low whimpers coming out of her mouth slowly filled up his empty heart and he finally found a sense of security. He slowly relaxed his strength and withdrew his tongue from the fragrance between her pearly teeth. His eyes were deep and he looked at the girl with an unsatisfied look.
The young lady didn't look very good either.
His kisses turned her lips rosy red, and her eyes became misty, as if filled with smoke and tears.
A wave of heat surged in his heart, but he tried his best to hold it back. He gently stroked her cheek, pressed his fingers under her chin, and asked her in a hoarse voice, "Are you going to accompany the Second Madam tomorrow?"
Wen Shuse was panting, his mind was in a mess and he had long lost his way.
The short and intense kiss last time in the village had almost faded from her mind after a long time, but the kiss today brought her memory back.
I didn't know that two people could do so many things when kissing. The movement of the man's tongue is so blushing that it makes people blush and their heart beat faster.
It's like they are doing something taboo, and only each other can experience the excitement and emotion.
The kiss was excruciating, but there was a slight throbbing in her heart that pulled her. In a daze, she seemed to have an urge to rub against her lover.
What's wrong with her.
She is a young lady.
Wen Shuse finally understood what he meant by "like".
She was shy and nervous...but deep down she didn't want anyone, including her lover, to see her, but she had to admit that she seemed to like him a little.
It's too difficult.
She has made an appointment with her mother tomorrow to continue looking at fabrics for bedding and curtains. It will probably take another day, maybe even two...
Fortunately, I already knew what he wanted. I said softly, "My dear, I understand how I made you feel at ease. Wait for me to come back tomorrow and we will..." After all, she was a girl, her face was burning like a flame. She turned her head and said shamelessly, "We will continue to kiss tomorrow."
After she finished her speech, she stood up and hurried to the bathroom, leaving Xie Shao alone, struggling and sinking in the raging flames and heat.
Whatever he was going to say before was no longer important. The young lady pushed him into another big trap. He couldn't struggle, nor did he want to struggle.
The next day, the young lady was taken away by the second lady again.
She first went to several shops to choose fabrics for the mattress. Even if the patterns were similar, she could still pick out the differences at a glance and find the one she liked.
But I don’t know what happened today, everything seems the same.
As my fingers slid across the silky silk, my husband's voice rang in my ears, "Young lady..."
Last night, after she finished washing and bathing, she lay down beside her husband. Just as she was about to close her eyes, her husband suddenly asked her, "When will you be back tomorrow?"
She answered, "Very soon." After a pause, she finally realized something from his words, and thinking of his various behaviors, she turned her head and asked him, "Did you miss me today, my dear?"
After a while, Lang Jun finally responded from his throat, "Hmm." Before she could respond, an arm stretched out, passed under her neck, and hugged her in his arms, "Sleep."
Knowing that he was injured, she was afraid to touch him, so she curled up and put her arms on his waist, "My dear, be careful..."
"No problem."
His right shoulder armor was injured, but his left arm was fine.
Okay, he said it was okay, but I didn’t dare move for fear of pulling his wound.
Since her husband was injured, she had never tied her clothes. After lying quietly for a while, she realized that her knuckles were against her husband's smooth waist and abdomen.
When you don't notice it, you don't feel anything.
After she noticed it, everything suddenly felt different. It was just a small piece of skin touched, but the cold temperature slowly burned up, penetrating through her bones and into her heart, making her feel flustered.
It's unlikely that she would fall asleep in that position.
I don't know how long I lay there. I saw that the man above my head didn't move for a long time. He must have fallen asleep. Although sneaking around and taking advantage of someone's misfortune is not what a gentleman does, fortunately, she is not a gentleman, and she can touch him by just stretching out her curled fingers. Before she started to act, she was already frightened by her own lustful courage and her heart was beating like thunder. The idea came to her mind, but she couldn't stop it. The wave had already reached several floors high. She could only take action, close her eyes, and cover it with her palm. Before she could grab it, the man suddenly pulled out his arm that was resting under her neck, and by the way, he closed his open collar tightly, "Come back early tomorrow and let you touch it."
In my entire life, I have only heard of young ladies seducing young men, but I have never heard of young men trying to seduce young ladies.
But the embarrassing thing is that she was really kept hanging by him.
The feeling I touched last night was like the silk in front of me, smooth and fine.
It's a little different.
My husband's is much tougher...
Realizing what he was thinking, he was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand, blushed and turned his back, fearing that he would be seen by the Second Madam. The only son went in alone to choose.
The sun shone in through the lattice windows of the shop, casting a bright glow.
It's almost noon. I wonder what my husband is doing. He probably hasn't eaten yet. Maybe he's already thinking about her...
"Madam, madam..." Aunt Qing stared at her fingers, and saw that she was about to rub a hole in the silk in front of her, but her eyes were dull, and there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was possessed by an evil spirit. Her heart skipped a beat, and she called her twice before she regained her consciousness and reminded her, "The second lady has already chosen it, and is waiting for you..."
After getting on the carriage, the second lady noticed that she hadn't spoken for a long time and noticed that she was absent-minded. She asked her softly, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Wen Shuse immediately perked up, "It's okay, which house is mother going to go to next?"
She looked so eager to go home, her thoughts were written all over her face and no one could fail to see it.
When the two got married, she and Xie Pushe were not there, and the old lady let herself be confused and brought two innocent youngsters together.
When I received the news, I was worried. My son has never been the kind of person who would suffer a loss. I am not afraid of other things, but I am afraid that he will abuse and bully the girl.
Unexpectedly, the two escaped all the way from Fengcheng and arrived in Dongdu safely.
She had heard about the hardships and dangers she had experienced from Xie Pushe last night. The Crown Prince praised her highly, saying that she was "brave, wise, affectionate and righteous."
They are all in the prime of their lives, young and energetic, and have come this far. True friendship is tested in times of adversity, and even if the feelings are fake, they will develop.
The second lady pulled her out yesterday because she wanted to see what was going on between the two of them. When she saw that the little bastard had sent people over several times, she knew that he couldn't sit still.
Now seeing Wen Shuse's expression, he understood in his heart, but did not see through it. "If you have something to do, go back first. I haven't been to Dongdu for a long time. I want to go shopping more. I'm afraid I can't come back so soon."
If it’s not that fast, then I guess I really can’t wait any longer.
What could it be? Saying that she suddenly coveted her husband?
She couldn't show her true thoughts to anyone, but as long as she wanted to see someone, she would have a thousand reasons. She said to the Second Madam with a worried look on her face, "The imperial physician from the palace will come to diagnose today. I don't know how my husband is doing."
Seeing that she finally spoke out, the Second Madam breathed a sigh of relief and stopped making things difficult for her. "Since you are worried, go back and take a look."
Wen Shuse returned only after sending the second lady out of the shop.
The carriage of the Xie Mansion was left to the Second Lady. She hailed one for herself, sat in the carriage, listened to the sound of the wheels rolling on the road, and knew that she was getting closer and closer to home. For the first time, she felt so nervous and excited.
Aunt Qing, who was standing opposite, had been observing her for quite some time. She smiled foolishly, lifted the curtain, and then lowered it to smile. It was as if she was possessed. She became increasingly nervous and asked, "What happened to my lady?"
Wen Shuse shook his head, "Nothing."
After a while, she took the initiative to tell Aunt Qing: "Aunt, it seems that my husband likes me."
Last night she just thought that she came home late and he was unhappy, but now that she thought about it carefully, there were clues everywhere.
The man said he missed her. Why did he miss her? He must have her in his heart.
And the way he looked at her last night was ambiguous and affectionate, which was really not innocent. He also kissed her like that, almost swallowing her up, leaving nothing but bones. How could he not love her?
Aunt Qing finally knew the cause of her morning's 'illness'. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help but feel happy for her. "I have said before that the lady is beautiful and has a good temper. Who wouldn't like her? The fact that Master likes the lady means that Master has good taste."
Seeing her so happy, he asked, "Does the lady like her son-in-law?"
Wen Shuse nodded without hesitation, "I like it."
I've liked it for a long time.
From the moment he endured his hunger and placed the plate of sweet and sour pork in front of her, she decided to spend her whole life with him.
Later in Weicheng, he carried her on his back, and the hair crown on his head poked her forehead. He turned around and asked her "Does it hurt?". At that moment, she fell in love with her lover.
For so many days and nights, he gave his shoulders to her, he rolled off the horse with her in his arms, and protected her behind him at all costs. There were so many things about her lover that she liked.
In addition to wanting to spend her whole life with her husband, her strongest desire at the moment was probably to touch his muscles...
By noon, more and more people appeared on the streets, the roads became congested, and the carriages were slower than usual.
From time to time he would lift the curtain to look outside, walking and stopping, which was really worrying.
If I had known earlier, I should have told my mother today that she would stay and take care of my husband, and I wouldn't have to go through all this.
After half an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the house. She jumped off the carriage, lifted up her skirt, and hurried inside with Aunt Qing, one in front and one behind.
After entering the long corridor of the inner courtyard, she suddenly slowed down and turned back to ask Aunt Qing, "Will my husband be surprised that I come back so early?"
Aunt Qing was almost bumped into by her pause, and smiled helplessly: "As long as the lady comes back, the son-in-law will definitely be happy."
But she still wanted to give him a surprise, so she didn't let the two maids in the yard say a word, and stepped over the threshold quietly, guessing what his expression would be when he saw her.
As soon as the curtain was opened, he looked towards the bed, "Lang..."
"Brother Xie actually still remembers this. I thought Brother Xie had forgotten it."
The voices on both sides were interrupted. The girl who was laughing happily on the futon and the man opposite who was smiling like a spring breeze, both looked towards the pearl curtain.
The scene was so different from what he had expected that Wen Shuse was stunned for a moment and forgot to react.
The girl in the room stood up first, looked at her, and asked the man in front of her with a smile: "Is this Brother Xie's wife?"
Langjun nodded and introduced Wen Shuse: "Second Princess."
Wen Shuse finally came back to her senses. The other person was dressed in luxurious clothes, obviously not an ordinary person. She quickly entered the room, knelt down and saluted, "Your servant greets the Second Prince."
The Second Princess smiled, "Madam, you don't have to be polite. Please stand up. I heard that Brother Xie was injured and wanted to come to visit him for a long time. Unfortunately, something happened in the palace, so I was able to get away now." She looked at Xie Shao apologetically and said, "Did I disturb Brother Xie?"
"No problem." Xie Shao turned his head and looked at Wen Shuse with a look of surprise, "Why are you here so early today? Are you done with your work? Where's mother?"
There was a sudden sharp pain in my heart.
Wen Shuse did not move forward. She put her hands down at her sides and pinched the shawl. There was nothing unusual on her face. She did not look at her husband's eyes and smiled. "I, I came back to get some money. Mother has not finished the preparations. My husband, please entertain His Highness. I will bring some fruits."
She turned around, lifted the bead curtain, and walked out step by step, faster and faster.
As I stepped out of the threshold and walked to the corridor, a hot tear suddenly hung on my face. I reached out to wipe it away hastily, but the tears in my eyes were like a flood that could not be wiped away no matter how hard I tried.
"Madam..." Aunt Qing hurriedly called her from behind.
Wen Shuse shook his head, swallowed, and tried not to let his voice tremble. "I'm fine. Aunt, go get some refreshments quickly. Don't neglect His Highness."
"Madam." Aunt Qing couldn't feel at ease.
"I can't be alone in the room. My heart hurts so much that I can't go in anymore. Aunt, please go and watch it. I'll go to the front yard to rest." He didn't let Aunt Qing follow him and walked out of the yard alone.
The scorching sun at noon makes one feel dizzy.
The anticipation and excitement she had felt when she came back, everything she had thought of, did not exist and seemed like a joke.
The man didn't miss her, and wasn't at all surprised to see her. Her appearance might even have caused him trouble.
Today she discovered that her husband's smile could be given to another girl besides her.
Thanks brother...
I have never been called this way before.
The pain in my heart was getting worse and worse, as if it was about to burst. It was hard to breathe. I didn't want to stay in the mansion anymore. I hated myself for coming back so suddenly. I wiped my tears, went to the door, and said to the gate, "I'll go back. If Aunt Qing asks, tell her that I went to look for the Second Madam. Tell her not to come looking for me and just take good care of the guests."
She called the coachman and got back in the carriage, but she didn't know where to go. The sun was too strong and she didn't want to go anywhere. She walked around and finally let the coachman take her to the streets of Jiucaomen.
That was the Dongdu that the two saw for the first time.
The maid passed the message to Aunt Qing, who had just brought a plate of fruits and vegetables to the two of them.
Inside, the Second Princess was still talking to Xie Shao about her childhood fun. Xie Shao looked up and saw that only Aunt Qing was there. He frowned and asked, "Where's the Third Grandma?"
Although she felt upset, Aunt Qing still took the overall situation into consideration and lowered her head to report: "Third Madam was worried that Second Madam didn't have enough money, so she went out to give Second Madam some money. Third Madam brought a message saying that she neglected Second Prince and would come to apologize another day."
The Second Princess smiled and said, "Third Madam, you are too kind. I came here today without informing you in advance. I am being rude. Third Madam, just go and do your work."
Xie Shao said nothing.
It's June or July, the sun is shining brightly, and everyone has returned, but she still wants to run out. Doesn't she feel tired?
Half an hour later, the second princess said goodbye, "Thank you, brother, for getting well soon. I must have another horse race with you to get back the face I lost a few years ago."
Xie Shao stood up and smiled politely, "If the princess wants to race horses, I will accompany you. However, I don't deserve the nickname you gave me when we were children. Please just call me by my name from now on."
Min Zhang went out to see someone off.
Xie Shao planned to change his clothes. Today, the imperial physician and the second princess came to the mansion together. After changing the medicine on his wound, he immediately put on his clothes. They were a bit tight and not very comfortable.
As he was unbuttoning his sleeves, Aunt Qing suddenly called out "Uncle".
Xie Shao paused and said, "Go in."
Aunt Qing came in holding a stack of robes. The first batch of clothes from Mingxiu Pavilion had already been rushed out and had just been delivered. There were several sets among them, all of which belonged to my brother-in-law.
Seeing this pile of new clothes, Xie Shao sneered in his heart. He was glad that the young lady had not forgotten him. He pointed to the cabinet beside the bed and said, "Put it in there."
Aunt Qing opened the cabinet door and saw the bright royal blue robe at a glance. She remembered that her wife was angry and gave it to Min Zhang, but she didn't know how it ended up in her brother-in-law's hands again.
Presumably, the son-in-law already knew that it was made by the lady. He was relieved for a moment and said, "This is the first time that the lady has made clothes for someone. Although the stitches are simpler than those of Mingxiu Pavilion, they were also sewed by hand. The lady will be happy if the son-in-law can keep this robe."
He turned around and put the new robe in.
After a while, I heard someone behind me say, "She did it herself?"
Aunt Qing was surprised for a moment, not understanding whether he knew or not, and nodded, "On the day when the son-in-law went to get the certificate, the lady thought that his clothes were all worn out, so she went out to buy silk and satin, cut them herself, stitch by stitch, and made a suit according to the son-in-law's measurements. I don't know if it will fit him."
Xie Shao didn't answer her.
As soon as Aunt Qing left, he immediately walked to the bedside, opened the cupboard door, and took out the robe.
He hurriedly took off his clothes, and without asking Min Zhang to come in to help him, he put them on carefully, avoiding the wound on his shoulder blade.
After all the hard work, a thin layer of sweat had formed on my forehead.
The size is indeed correct.
No wonder it was too small for Min Zhang to wear, it was not meant for him at all.
I raised my sleeves and tried kicking my legs, and it was perfect.
I have never felt so comfortable in my heart in the past few days. After putting it on, I don't want to take it off again. I plan to keep wearing it and wait for the young lady to come back so that I can question her face to face.
Since the clothes were made for him personally, why did they end up in Min Zhang's hands?
They waited and waited until evening, when even the Second Madam came back, but there was still no sign of Wen Shuse.
Xie Shao could no longer bear it, so he walked out of the courtyard and knocked on the doors of Xie Pushe and the Second Madam. As soon as the door opened, he asked the Second Madam, "Where is Wen Shuse?"
The second wife had just returned and was taking off her hairpin. She was startled when she heard this, "She's not at home?"
Xie Shao stood in front of the door, his face extremely ugly, "Didn't she come out with you?"
I had already been filled with dissatisfaction towards these two people, so my voice couldn't help but be louder.
The Second Lady stared at her son who suddenly got angry with her. She wanted to slap him, but she didn't understand what happened. Her heart sank and she told him the truth, "She missed you so much today that she came back at noon. Why didn't she come to your house?"
After he finished speaking, Xie Shao's expression changed.
Aunt Qing didn't expect that Wen Shuse didn't even go to see the Second Madam.
At this time, she hadn't come back yet. Thinking of her heartbroken look during the day, she was so scared that her legs went limp. She couldn't hold back any longer and cried, "Son-in-law, go find Third Grandma quickly. She was still mad and crying when she left."
The lady had just come back and was looking forward to seeing her son-in-law. Aunt Qing saw it all.
When she came back, she saw her son-in-law sitting in the house chatting and laughing with the second princess. How sad the lady must have been.
Aunt Qing didn't know what the relationship between her uncle and the second princess was, but her wife had been with her uncle through thick and thin. Although they had only known each other for half a year, not as early as childhood sweethearts, the feelings they had for each other were no less intense than anyone else's.
The Second Princess shouldn't have called him "thank you, brother" today, especially in front of her wife. She shouldn't have called him that.
The son-in-law is now a third-rank official and is married. Logically, the second princess should either call him "the third young master" or "Mr. Xie".
To make her seem more dignified, you can just call her by her name.
The lady must have taken what he said to heart and was hurt. It's almost dark now and the man has been gone for several hours. Where can we find him?
After hearing what Aunt Qing said, the Second Madam's face changed. Before she could question the culprit in front of her, Xie Shao suddenly turned around and rushed straight to the door, "Min Zhang, prepare the horses."
As soon as the group walked out of the door, they saw Wen Shuse getting off the carriage.
She was holding a few pots of sorghum wine in her hands and a food box in her arms. When she saw her husband standing in front of the door with a pale face, she was stunned for a moment, knowing that she probably didn't calculate the time correctly, and the second wife might have returned. She smiled at him and explained, "I went to buy wine for my father. I also bought the sweet and sour pork that my husband likes to eat..."
The babies are here~ Don't worry, I want to finish writing it, but it's already this time, so I can't be hasty, woo woo woo, it will be sweet soon. (Hundreds of red envelopes~)
