For the first time, Tu Qingyu saw the word jealousy on his always gentle face.
【What is the Marquis talking about? 】
"Is it unfair to marry me? If it weren't for me, you could have married a young man of the same age, one who doesn't have a wife or children, and is younger than me. You two have similar interests and are a perfect match!"
He gritted his teeth, and his face was distorted when he said these words.
To be honest, Tu Qingyu likes to see people who are usually calm and composed lose control.
Moreover, occasional jealousy is really the best way to enhance relationships.
This is also the reason why she didn't explain even though she knew he cared about her.
She struggled but her hands were held down and she couldn't get away.
"What are you saying, Lord? I don't understand."
[What's wrong with this man? I didn't do anything, did I?]
Shen Liao stared at those eyes, which were as clear as usual.
In the past, he liked these eyes the most, but now there is no trace of affection for him in these eyes.
In other words, her bright eyes were because she had not yet gained any enlightenment.
"Don't understand? Haha." He forced a smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes darkened, and then he clasped his big hand on the back of her head.
The two kissed and rolled onto the bed.
Shen Liao's eyes were burning, and his hands were more dishonest than ever before.
As if he was determined to fill her eyes with lust.
He lowered his voice and spoke in a domineering manner for the first time, "Qingyu, you married me, there is no point in regretting it. I will treat you well, don't think about those people outside."
"My Lord, what are you talking about? People from outside."
[And even if I didn't get married, I couldn't go back on my word since there was an imperial decree granting the marriage.]
When Shen Liao heard these words from his heart, he only felt that, as expected, it was all because of the imperial edict.
If there was no imperial edict, she would definitely choose someone of the same age as herself.
He was blinded by jealousy at the moment.
She never imagined that even without an imperial decree, it was still her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, and she had no choice.
Both of them were aroused by anger, and just when they were about to take a step further, a voice came from outside the door:
"My Lord, Madam, the old lady asked when you will go to watch the night?"
But he didn't stop what he was doing. Tu Qingyu pushed him and said, "My Lord..."
It was not until he heard Tu Qingyu's voice that he gradually regained his senses.
He gave Tu Qingyu an ambiguous look, then slowly stood up and straightened his clothes.
He helped Tu Qingyu up and straightened her clothes.
But in just a moment, he returned to being the gentle and jade-like Lord Shen who was as cool as the breeze and bright as the moon.
He extended his hand and said, "Let's go to Ci'an Hall."
Tu Qingyu placed her hand on his palm and said, "My Lord, why are you becoming more and more strange?"
Oh, of course he felt strange, falling in love with such a heartless little girl, wasn't that strange?
In Ci'an Hall, Chen Yao was nestling in the old lady's arms and acting coquettishly.
Shen Chen smiled beside him.
As soon as they saw them come in, the smiles on the three people's faces disappeared immediately.
Shen Chen and Shen Yao stood up and saluted, "Meetings, father, and... Madam."
"Get up."
Chen Liao walked past them and took Tu Qingyu's hand to sit on the stool next to them.
The old lady said sarcastically, "I'm really bothering you by calling you here. Every family knows to come out of the palace to keep watch, but you, I don't know what you're doing hanging around in the main courtyard?"
She was increasingly fed up with Tu Qingyu's coquettish look.
Tu Qingyu stroked the hairpin on her head and said, "Wasn't the old lady young once? She should know."
The look in her eyes seemed to be saying, aren't you asking this question even though you already know the answer?
"You!" The old lady was so angry, "There are children here, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Oh, so the old lady also knows that there is a child." Then she said everything outside.
When it comes to being sarcastic, who can compare to her?
Shen Liao sat beside him without saying a word, holding Tu Qingyu's hand but not letting go.
This made the old lady even angrier.
"You, you don't respect your elders!"
"Why don't you speak, Lord? Why are you silent as soon as you come in? Are you going to leave me alone to deal with your troublesome grandmother?"
Shen Liao turned his head to look at her, and she also turned her head and winked at him.
"Grandma, I want to go back to my room first." What else could Shen Liao do? Of course he would side with his wife.
Chen Yao looked at the way he was unconditionally supporting Tu Qingyu and really wanted to speak back to him, but Chen Chen next to her held her back.
The old lady was choked by her grandson and didn't say anything else.
The hall of Ci'an Hall was eerily quiet. No one spoke anymore except Tu Qingyu, who was eating cakes without being affected.
Seeing that her cheeks were puffed up from eating, Shen Liao was afraid that she would choke, so he brought her a glass of water.
"Didn't you have enough to eat last night?"
"Yeah." Tu Qingyu nodded. "The food in the palace is cold when it's served. Now that I'm pregnant, I dare not eat too much."
As she spoke, she took a sip of water from his hand.
"Slow down." Shen Liao fed her while stroking her back. His movements and gentle tone made everyone present feel sad.
No, maybe it's more of jealousy.
Especially the two children, because in their impression, their father had never treated them so gently and dotingly.
"It's my fault for not thinking it through and letting you go hungry."
"It's no use eating a simple snack like this. I'll have someone bring some hot food up."
"OK."
Tu Qingyu didn't bother to be polite with him and agreed directly.
Chen Yao finally couldn't help herself and said, "Daddy, I want one too."
Shen Liao looked up at her and frowned slightly. Shen Yao lowered her head when he looked at her like this.
In the end, he didn't say anything and asked someone to bring in two hot meals.
But Chen Yao ate too much just now and couldn't eat anything at all.
Since she wanted the food, she had no choice but to eat it.
In the end, Chen Chen felt that she couldn't go on like this, so he said he was hungry, helped her eat something, and then had someone leave.
Tu Qingyu wanted to sleep after eating.
She supported her head, feeling dazed, and was pulled into the arms of Shen Liao beside her.
After picking her up by the waist, he looked at the old lady and said, "Qingyu is already advanced in pregnancy and can't hold on any longer. I'll take her back to bed first."
"Grandma, you are old now. If you want to sleep, go to sleep first."
"Hmph." The old lady snorted coldly, "I'm not as lucky as her. The rules passed down by our ancestors have been like this for decades. How can we just say we won't follow them anymore?"
Chen Liao held Tu Qingyu in his arms and glanced at her. Seeing her stubborn expression, he said helplessly, "It's up to you."
After saying that, he looked at the two younger ones and said, "You are still young. If you can't stand it, you can go to sleep first. No one will say anything."
Chen Yao spoke faster than her brain, "We want to accompany our great-grandmother!"
He looked at the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren who seemed to be on a united front, said nothing more, and left the main hall with the people in his arms.
Soon Tu Qingyu fell asleep on the soft bed. After falling asleep, she asked Dabao:
"Has the dream been created?"
