Chapter 311 I heard that love in the Republic of China was nine out of ten tragic (3)
"Then I..." Sheng Wu smiled, "I'll just call you Gui Wu. Mister is too distant."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Only then did Chen Guiwu's brows relax.
I've eaten, taken my medicine, and chatted enough, it's time to rest.
"Return to Wu."
"Yeah, I'm here."
"Don't you like me?"
"Why do you say that?"
"I've heard that couples sleep in each other's arms, why don't you..."
In just one second, the two people who were half a meter apart were instantly embraced.
In the dim light, Sheng Wu curled her lips in satisfaction.
"Can we go to bed now, Mrs. Shen?"
"Well then, good night, Mr. Shen."
......
The second day.
When Sheng Wu woke up, the seat next to him was empty.
The two of them slept soundly that night and did not do anything inappropriate.
Sheng Wu put on her shoes and opened the dark red wooden wardrobe. She saw that it was filled with cheongsams made of pure silk, which were of the highest quality.
She casually picked up a light blue tasseled cheongsam, sat in front of the dressing table, and glanced at it casually.
Although the original owner was a leading actress, her hair was permed into the most fashionable slightly curly style. Perhaps because she was only nineteen years old, the charm between her eyebrows and eyes had not yet fully developed, but there was a kind of stunning and clean taste in her purity.
Especially after practicing Hua Dan, there is a unique charm and elegance in every gesture, like...
Canaries in captivity.
Then Sheng Wu stood up and opened the door.
As soon as I went out, I saw Chunxi, who was guarding, walking towards me in small steps.
"Mrs."
"Where's Guiwu?"
"ah?"
For a moment, Chunxi didn't realize who she was talking about. After all, no one in the Shen family mansion dared to call the master so directly.
"Oh, sir, someone from the Chamber of Commerce asked him to come over this morning, so he told me not to disturb you and to take you to dinner after you woke up."
Hearing this, Sheng Wu remembered what Chen Guiwu said last night, that he was now the president of the Sijiu City Chamber of Commerce.
After all, the Shen family is a big family with strong industries to manage.
"Well, take me to dinner then."
"Yes, ma'am."
As he spoke, Chunxi walked beside him and led Shengwu for a distance along the corridor of the main courtyard. During this brief process, Shengwu truly experienced the financial strength of the Shen family.
"Hello, ma'am."
"Hello, ma'am."
In just a short distance, Shengwu met more than twenty servants and maids on the road, all dressed in uniform. The house was magnificent, with several ponds and gardens, and its design was similar to that of Suzhou gardens.
"Um."
Sheng Wu nodded slightly neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then came to the place where they were having dinner.
But she was alone, and looking at the table full of exquisite dishes, Sheng Wu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Guiwu won't come back to eat?"
Chunxi shook his head. "I don't know about that either. Anyway, the master is usually very busy, and it's not for servants to inquire about his schedule. If he wants to come back for dinner, he will ask Butler Zhang to come back and let him know in advance."
"......Then, where is Shen Junsheng?" Sheng Wu lowered her eyes, holding a pair of chopsticks inlaid with white jade in her hand, and picked up a piece of cake.
This seemed to be a taboo. When Chunxi heard the three words "Shen Junsheng", a look of panic immediately appeared on his face.
"Madam, I don't know much, and the Shen family doesn't allow servants to gossip, but the master has instructed that I can tell you anything you want to know, so..."
The Shen family was wealthy and powerful, but they also had many rules. Although the Republic of China advocated many ideas, the personal freedom of their servants was still restricted.
Sheng Wu knew what she meant, "Don't worry, I won't say anything more."
Chunxi looked around before daring to continue.
"Shen Junsheng is the master's eldest son, but he has the worst relationship with the master. Every time he comes home, he and the master have a big quarrel. Moreover, he is not as gentle as the master. He has a bad temper and gets angry at the slightest provocation. I even heard that the eldest son once beat a servant of the Shen family to death, apparently because he said something wrong..."
Hearing this, Sheng Wu noticed the blind spot, and the chopsticks in her hand stopped. The pastry in her mouth no longer smelled fragrant, and she looked up at Chunxi.
"Shen Junsheng is the eldest son. Does that mean Shen Guiwu has other sons?"
"Uh-huh."
Chunxi nodded, her round face showing innocence, "Before you married in, the master had two sons and a daughter."
After Sheng Wu married in, it was hard to say whether there would be more children. After all, the master was in good health...
Sheng Wu: “…”
Haha, chop her into three pieces?
"Then why aren't the other two people here?"
"This..." Chunxi looked a little embarrassed.
Sheng Wu said coldly, "Just tell me. If you lie to me, I will tell Gui Wu."
Chunxi was frightened and stood there stiffly. She was only eighteen years old, so naturally she couldn't help being frightened.
"Madam, please don't. I...if I say that, I really will have no place in this family. I promise to be loyal to you, madam. I hope you can protect me."
Sheng Wu raised her eyebrows lazily, but there was a cold look between her brows that did not allow any objection.
"explain."
Seeing this, Chunxi straightened his neck and told the truth without hiding anything.
"Actually, the two young masters and the eldest daughter of the family don't want the master to remarry, especially... the age difference between you and the master is so great, it will affect the master's reputation. They all think that you have seduced the master. So, to show their resistance, the second young master and the eldest daughter haven't returned home for three days and have been living in school. As for the eldest young master, he has always been at odds with the master and rarely comes home."
Sheng Wu didn't care at all, and just said lightly, "Do you have any photos of them?"
"Yes, wait a minute."
Soon, Chunxi brought a black and white family photo.
Sheng Wu looked at the photo. Chen Guiwu was sitting in the front. On his left was a boy who looked somewhat similar to him and was relatively young. On his right was a girl wearing a school uniform and smiling very happily.
At the very back was a very tall man, who did not look like the young man in front or Shen Guiwu, but he still had some eyebrows and eyes. However, unlike the gentle and refined Shen Guiwu, he was in a state of a dormant beast, very cold and wild.
In an instant, Sheng Wu understood who the three people were.
