Ruan Niang usually dressed plainly, but when she saw such a bright dress, she felt a surge of anger. Did he buy her such a bright dress because he disliked her because she was old?
She picked up the other packages and headed straight for the backyard.
Sheng Jingheng took the skirt and chased after her: "Mother Ruan, what's wrong with you? Don't you like this gift? I bought something else."
Ruan Niang still ignored him, walked quickly into the east courtyard and locked herself in the room.
Sheng Jingheng stood outside the door, looking confused.
Sheng Xitang came over, "Brother, you're back?"
"Xitang, what happened to your sister-in-law? Did you offend her?"
Sheng Xitang rolled his eyes at him: "I didn't do that. If anyone is going to cause trouble, it's you who should do it!"
Inside the room, Ruan Niang sat in front of the bronze mirror and stroked her face.
She was originally four years older than Sheng Jingheng, and women age less easily than men.
Especially since she worked day and night for the pharmacy, fine lines already appeared at the corners of her eyes.
She is twenty-eight years old now, and indeed cannot be compared with Miss Su, who has just reached the age of 15.
He sighed, his heart filled with pain.
When Sheng Jingheng was at home, she never worried about these things. Now that his official position is getting higher and higher, she feels more and more that she is not worthy of him.
An hour later, Sheng Xitang knocked on the door: "Sister-in-law, dinner is ready, come out and eat."
Ruan Niang leaned on the bed and said weakly, "I have no appetite. You guys eat."
Sheng Xitang smiled outside the door and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll bring you some snacks. Please open the door."
Ruan Niang had no choice but to get up and open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Sheng Jingheng flashed in and said with a smile: "Xitang is not lying to you, I can't come in."
Ruan Niang was stunned. Before she could react, Sheng Jingheng had already pulled her hand and sat down at the table.
Nanny Wang and a maid brought in a few dishes. Sheng Xitang closed the door and said with a smile, "Brother, behave well and coax your sister-in-law."
Sheng Jingheng opened the bundle and took out a pair of embroidered shoes: "Madam, these are the shoes I bought for you. Try them on to see if they are large enough."
Ruan Niang turned her back.
She was originally a free and easy-going person and never cried.
After Sheng's father passed away, she and Sheng Jingheng took on the burden of the family.
Sheng Jingheng was a scholar who devoted himself to studying and was the only one who took care of the household.
She can quarrel with people outside, and she can be the boss both at home and outside.
Now, seeing the wives of officials around Sheng Jingheng, all of them were ladies from prominent families, she felt that she had been like a shrew in the past.
Sheng Jingheng picked up her feet, took off her old shoes, and tried to put on new shoes, but found that they couldn't fit in.
Ruan Niang said coquettishly, "You've never bought me shoes, so how do you know the size?
Sheng Jingheng slapped his face and said angrily, "It's my fault, Madam, don't be angry."
He reached out and measured her foot, then pondered the size, feeling a pang of guilt.
In fact, Ruan Niang's feet were also very small when she was a child. It was because she stood and worked in the medicine shop for a long time that her feet grew longer and wider.
He picked up the jade bracelet and jade hairpin again: "Come on, there will always be no problem with the size of the bracelet and jade hairpin."
He put a jade bracelet on her head and found a place to put a jade hairpin on her head.
Seeing him frantically busy, Ruan Niang couldn't help but burst into laughter, but suddenly a question occurred to her: "Jing Heng, if my father hadn't passed away, would you not have married me?"
