Chapter 156 I'm Afraid You Don't Want Me Anymore
The butler was a servant of the old marquis in the past. Normally, Wang was the butler, so he only listened to Wang's words. Now that the marquis's mansion has changed, he naturally has to find someone else to show his loyalty.
Now that he saw his wife coming back, he knew that the Marquis regarded her as important, so he naturally wanted to show his courtesy.
"Madam, the shop has delivered some good tea today. I was just thinking of sending it to you."
Yu Qinghuan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why not send it to the old lady?"
She remembered that the good tea that was sent as a tribute in the past was all sent to Biluozhai. Because Xie Zhiwen didn't like drinking tea, none of it was sent to their yard.
The housekeeper chuckled and said, "Madam has been out early these past two days. I guess you didn't know that the old lady is not feeling well. The Marquis is a filial son. He heard that Linjiang is a place with mountains and rivers that are good for people, so he sent someone to send the old lady to Linjiang Manor to recuperate for a while."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that these were just excuses. The old lady was in good health and had no discomfort at all.
Although Linjiang is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is not as prosperous as the capital.
She said she was recuperating for a while, but in fact, the Marquis found her weakness and sent her away. He looked at the dozen or so people escorting her and thought that unless the old lady died, she would never be able to return to the capital in this life.
The gentlemen in the mansion don't take care of things, and there are no concubines in the mansion. Now that the old lady is gone, the power of managing the mansion will fall into the hands of the lady!
Yu Qinghuan didn't expect Xie Zhiwen to act so quickly. He actually sent Wang away, and to a place as far away as Linjiang. It was obvious that he had no intention of letting Wang come back.
In her previous life, she was driven away by the Wang family and persecuted by the Yu family, and died in Linjiang.
In this life, the person who married into Linjiang became Yu Zhilan, and even Wang was sent to Linjiang, which can be regarded as a tit for tat.
She asked in a deep voice, "Where is the Marquis?"
The butler replied attentively, "Madam, the Marquis is taking people to inventory the treasury and account books today. I think he should be in the study now."
Yu Qinghuan nodded slightly and took Sang Ru to the study.
Xie Zhiwen doesn't like reading, so his study is almost just a decoration. After marrying into the Marquis's Mansion for so long, she has only been here once, during her wedding. This is the second time.
When people arrived at the study, only the servant was outside.
Seeing Yu Qinghuan coming from afar, he hurried into the study to report. A moment later, Xie Zhiwen came out of the study quickly, his face full of joy, "Ah Huan, you're back."
Yu Qinghuan nodded slightly and was about to speak when Xie Zhiwen took her hand first and said, "Come with me."
He pulled her into the study, and Sang Ru could only wait outside.
In the study, Xie Zhiwen pushed Yu Qinghuan onto a chair and spread out several account books in front of her. "Ah Huan, I've sent my mother away. From now on, you have the final say in the Marquis' Mansion."
As he spoke, he stuffed the key to the Marquis's mansion's warehouse into Yu Qinghuan's hand.
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Xie Zhiwen in front of her. If in the previous life, Xie Zhiwen handed over the power of housekeeper to her, she would be happy, but now, she only wanted freedom and had lost interest in these things.
Xie Zhiwen said sincerely, "Ah Huan, let's forget the past and live a good life from now on, okay?"
Now, he has sent his mother away, and will work hard to make up for the grievances Ah Huan suffered in this year. He only hopes that Ah Huan can change his mind about leaving.
Yu Qinghuan pursed her lips, a look of disappointment flashing in her eyes, "My Lord, you don't want to let me go?"
Xie Zhiwen's heart sank. "I'm afraid if I let you go, you won't come back."
Even though Ah Huan had promised him last time that he would be given a chance to start over as long as he moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, he still didn't dare to believe it, fearing that once he left, Xie Zhili would cling to Ah Huan like a dog-skin plaster.
Although Xie Zhili has no title, he holds an official position in the court. Last time, he won the first place in front of His Majesty at Jiuchong Mountain. Now he has the emperor's favor, which is much better than him, the Ningyuan Marquis, who has only a title but no real job.
Thinking of this, he looked uneasy, "I'm afraid you'll choose Xie Zhili over me."
Hearing this, Yu Qinghuan's eyes flashed with guilt, "Why do you think so?"
Is it really that obvious?
Xie Zhiwen stood in front of the desk. He said nothing, just looking at Ah Huan in front of him. It was not a question of whether he wanted to or not, but he simply did not dare to believe what Ah Huan said.
Seeing that he didn't believe her words, Yu Qinghuan's face showed a trace of grievance, "You don't believe me?"
Xie Zhiwen pursed his lips tightly, his expression complicated. He finally said what was on his mind, "Ah Huan, you haven't slept with me since I came back. Now, how can I believe that you still have me in your heart?"
Yu Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that this was the reason why she had been refusing to sleep with him. She felt that she had changed her mind by not sleeping with him.
She smiled sweetly and stood up from the chair. "That's because I wasn't feeling well. I've been recuperating..."
Xie Zhiwen interrupted her in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on her face, "But I've been back for so long, and I haven't seen you take any medicine."
The lie was exposed, and Yu Qinghuan was embarrassed: "......"
However, after going through so much, just having some lies exposed was not enough to make her lose her composure.
She swept the account book aside, sat on the desk, raised one hand to hook it around Xie Zhiwen's neck, and looked at him with a smile, "So the Marquis cares about this matter."
Knowing what Xie Zhiwen was concerned about, Yu Qinghuan moved her soft body closer to him. Her other hand caressed his body through the fabric, slowly climbing up to his lower abdomen. Her voice became soft and seductive, "Actually, if the Marquis wants it, how could I not give it to him?"
In Xie Zhiwen's impression, Ah Huan was gentle and quiet, not as seductive as she is now, exuding a charm all over her body.
His lower abdomen tightened, his body tensed, his eyes gradually darkened, and he couldn't help but wonder, how could Ah Huan become like this now? Was he taught a bad thing by someone?
And in this year, the only person who could have taught her the wrong lesson was that bastard brother...
Although he was aroused by her teasing, Xie Zhiwen's anger rushed to his head as soon as he thought of this. He grabbed Yu Qinghuan's waist and asked, "Are you doing this to him too?"
Yu Qinghuan's waist hurt from being pinched by him. After all, Xie Zhili had pinched that spot just tonight.
She raised her face with great effort, licked her rolling Adam's apple twice, and felt Xie Zhiwen's slightly stiff body. She said with a bit of self-mockery: "The Marquis said that he wanted to forget the past, but now he can't forget it."
"It's not that I don't want to sleep with the Marquis, it's that I'm afraid he'll dislike me after he finds out..."
Yu Qinghuan shifted the blame from herself to Xie Zhiwen.
Anyway, dealing with men is just that simple.
