Chapter 70: Emotional Mentor Gu Badai "She 'slapped' the whip...
"She lashed me to the ground with a whip and said, 'When you disperse your people, you can touch me again.' Tell me, what girl would dare to do that on her wedding day? But she did!"
Yinzhen was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't connect the person that Gu Badai mentioned with the current Madam Gu.
"I was so young at the time, how could I tolerate being humiliated by a woman like that? I immediately said, 'Let's see who begs who,' and left."
"Later, I kept arguing with her, almost hitting her three times a day. During that time, there were always craftsmen repairing things in my house."
Gu Badai said with some nostalgia, "But I don't know when it started, but as we fought, I found it harder and harder to bring myself to fight. Seeing her furiously whipping me with the whip, I actually found it endearing. When she scolded me with her sharp tongue, I actually thought it sounded really nice."
Gu Badai asked with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Can you believe it?"
Yinzhen replied in his heart, I can't believe it, it was because Fu Jin got angry at him that he realized his feelings.
"In short, I failed," Gu Badai said. "At that time, I didn't know what it was like to like someone, or how to approach her. I just kept doing what I always did: provoking her, making her angry, and letting her scold and hit me."
"Then one time, I went to provoke her as usual. She whipped me a few times, then suddenly threw the whip and started crying. I was completely stunned. I stood there staring at her for a long time, listening to her shout at me, 'Why did you come to provoke me?'"
"I vaguely understood at the time that the meaning of 'provoke' was different, so I just said 'I like it'. But she cried even harder and said to me, 'If you like it, go provoke your concubines, why are you provoking me?' I was even more stunned, because if Madam hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't even remember those concubines, and I hadn't seen them in a long time."
"I won't tell you in detail what happened next. The final result was that I married off all those concubines and lived a life of undivided attention with my wife."
Gu Badai turned around and looked at Yinzhen: "Do you understand now?"
Yinzhen frowned tightly, "Teacher, what you mean is that Fu Jin is angry because E Niang wants to give her a gift?"
"But this rule has always existed..." Yinzhen said a little confusedly. He knew it before his wife got married.
Gu Badai shook his head: "Rules are rules, and people's hearts are people's hearts. Treat others the way you want them to treat you."
Yinzhen roughly understood, but was still confused about how to do it: "Please teach me, teacher, how to do it..."
Gu Badai immediately glared: "Didn't I teach you last time?!"
Yinzhen was a little embarrassed: "Fujin is still young..."
"Oh, right, right, I almost forgot." Gu Badai patted his head, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "I can't teach you how to do it specifically, but I can only teach you one more truth."
Yinzhen said sincerely: "Please teach me, teacher."
"Women are best at being unreasonable," Gu Badai said meaningfully, "sometimes, you just have to take their path and leave them with nowhere to go."
After that, without waiting for Yinzhen's reaction, he patted his butt and left: "I have said everything I can say, you can figure out the rest yourself."
"I have to go pick up my wife."
Yinzhen stood there and thought carefully. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Gu Badai said made sense.
He did nothing else but called Su Peisheng over and stared at him: "Tell me, what is the reason why Fu Jin is angry?"
Su Peisheng's face turned bitter. He had heard what Lord Gu had said just now, and he also understood that his master must have realized that he was pretending to be stupid last time.
"I think, maybe... maybe... it seems to be because of the gift-giving matter." Su Peisheng stammered, and at the same time prepared himself to be kicked.
As expected, Yinzhen kicked him and said with a dark face, "How dare you, you dog slave, deceive me."
"A year's salary is gone!"
Su Peisheng, with a heavy heart, caught up with Yinzhen who had turned to leave, and seized the opportunity to make amends for his crime: "Forgive me, sir. I just took the initiative to send someone back to the mansion to inquire about Fu Jin's arrangements for today."
"How do you like the wontons? I heard from Xie Hanshan that Fu Jin sent him to the streets to look for snacks."
Yinzhen, who had been walking, suddenly stopped and Su Peisheng almost bumped into him.
"Why don't you go and buy it? Wait for me to go there myself." Yinzhen's tone was very unfriendly.
Su Peisheng nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes, I'll go right away, right away." He ran to the stall to buy wontons himself.
Yinzhen stood there, glanced around, and ordered, "Go and buy some snacks from each store."
Suddenly, only two of the people who followed him were left to serve him, and the others dispersed.
When the shopping was almost done, the person who went back to the mansion to ask Qi Buchen for help also came back: "My lord, the people in the main courtyard said that Fu Jin might come back from the south gate today."
"Let's go." Yinzhen turned and left.
Su Peisheng chased after him: "Master, please wait, I will have someone drive the carriage over."
Yinzhen glared at him and said, "Let's go on foot."
Huh? Su Peisheng, who didn't understand what was going on, followed him obediently. He was still in the observation period, so whatever the master said was his.
Yinzhen and his entourage walked out of the south gate and sat down at a teahouse. Su Peisheng pointed at two people and followed the path to the last temple on Fu Jin's itinerary.
Not long after, one of the two people who were sent out came back and reported, "We found the concubine and she is coming this way."
Yinzhen stood up and waited by the roadside. Sure enough, he saw a group of people coming from afar, and the one leading them was not Xie Hanshan.
When they came closer and stopped, everyone wanted to bow, but Yinzhen said impatiently, "No need."
Then he walked to the largest carriage and asked, "Is Fu Jin here?"
"Here." It was Baozhu's voice.
Yinzhen immediately climbed onto the carriage, took the food box from Su Peisheng, opened the curtain, bent over and entered, and sat directly opposite Qi Buchen. He said to Baozhu and the others, "Put out the things inside."
Then he said to Qi Buchen, "I just met Master Gu on the street, and Madam Gu was with him. These meals were all arranged by Madam Gu. You must be hungry after running around outside all day. You can eat some of these first."
Qi Buchen, who had been keeping his eyes closed since he came in, said: "No need. Eating in a carriage is not easy to digest."
The atmosphere became visibly colder.
Yinzhen wanted to say something, but after glancing at Baozhu and the others, he shut his mouth and closed his eyes to rest, imitating Qi Buchen.
The carriage went all the way to the second gate. Baozhu and others got off first, followed by Yinzhen. After Qi Buchen came out, he was about to help Baozhu get off, but he didn't expect that Baozhu and others had been sent to stand far away, and only Yinzhen was left beside the carriage.
Yinzhen was holding out his hand: "Come."
Qi Buchen pursed his lips and refused: "No need." Then he held the edge of the car with one hand and was about to jump down.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she squatted down, she was picked up by Yinzhen.
"What are you doing!" Before Qi Buchen could struggle, he was put down.
Yinzhen pursed his lips tightly: "I'm afraid you'll fall."
Qi Buchen closed his eyes, tried his luck, and then returned to a calm tone and said, "You're worrying too much. A fall from this height won't kill anyone."
After saying this, he went to the second gate, saying as he walked, "I am tired today and cannot have dinner with you. You can have dinner in the front yard by yourself."
As she walked, she realized something was wrong. When she turned around, she saw Yinzhen following her half a step away.
Qi Buchen frowned: "Master, I said I'm tired."
Yinzhen just stood there without saying a word, looking at her, and didn't leave.
Qi Buchen looked back and saw a group of servants still standing outside the second gate, so he didn't dare to follow.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Qi Buchen asked, suppressing his annoyance.
Yinzhen looked at her seriously and said, "Are you sure you want to say this here?"
call.
Qi Buchen took a deep breath, turned around and continued walking. Yinzhen was still following him half a step away, but the group of servants were following him ten steps away.
When the gatekeeper of the main courtyard saw this, he knelt down quickly, lowered his head, and pretended that he saw nothing.
There were maids playing around in the yard, but with the two of them entering, the fresh air instantly shone.
Condensed into ice.
The two men entered the main hall, and the servants stayed away from them.
Qi Buchen stood in the middle of the hall, facing the direction of the entrance, with his back to Yinzhen, and said in an emotionless voice: "Sir, please speak."
Yinzhen looked at her stubborn back, feeling distressed and a little angry: "Do you remember that you said we should be honest with each other?"
"Remember." Qi Buchen's voice was a little stiff.
"Did you do that?"
Qi Buchen's voice paused for a moment before he said, "I did it."
Yinzhen couldn't hold it in any longer, so he walked up to Qi Buchen and said to her, "Are you serious?"
The atmosphere is quiet.
Qi Buchen slowly met his eyes: "Seriously."
"Lie." Yinzhen murmured these two words, took a half step forward, and touched Qi Buchen's lips with his fingers. "Have you been so hypocritical from the beginning?"
Qi Buchen's face darkened a little. He avoided Yinzhen's hand and took a step back: "Please respect yourself, sir."
Yinzhen stepped forward again, almost sticking to Qi Buchen: "You are my wife, I don't need to respect myself."
Qi Buchen felt anger pounding her chest. She took a step back, stared at Yinzhen, and said word by word, "I don't want to, but you're forcing me!"
Yinzhen stood there, his face hidden in the shadows, his expression unclear: "You have already married me."
"I'm marrying you to this body. Do you want it?" Qi Buchen sneered. "Sure, if you can get pleasure from a corpse, go ahead."
After a long period of silence, Yinzhen felt a sharp pain in his heart. Although he had directed this scene step by step, the words uttered by Fu Jin still hurt him deeply.
"Why?" Yinzhen's voice sounded with difficulty. He took a step forward, exposing his face to Qi Buchen's sight, with tears in his eyes.
"What did I do wrong?"
"I have always been accommodating you, tolerating you, and giving you my whole heart. Why do you treat me like this?"
"Do you know how anxiously I've been waiting for your reply these days?"
"Mother gave me a gift? That's the rule that has always existed. It's been there since I was born. It's a natural thing. How do I know that this is wrong? No one has ever told me that it's wrong!"
"Besides, did I ask for it? Did I say I had to have it?"
"If you don't like it, you can just say it directly. You can tell me. Can't you deny me when I really can't do it? Why deny me with something that hasn't happened yet? Don't I even deserve a question from you?"
"Um?"
Qi Buchen involuntarily took a half step back, but was then grabbed by the waist and held in his arms by the man in front of him.
"Tell me, what should I do to satisfy you?"
