Chapter 31: Please Have Mercy on Me
At this time, Xie Zhili was already planning to take Yu Qinghuan as his equal wife and completely possess her when he became successful in the future.
But he had no idea that Yu Qinghuan was currently plotting how to win the heart of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.
Don't blame yourself for being calculating. It is said that once you enter a marquis's family, it is like entering a deep sea. She originally wanted to be a marquis's wife and live in harmony with her husband.
But what happened was that Wang was so cruel, and Xie Zhili was even more calculating. If he didn't use more tricks, not only would he die in an unknown way, but he would probably not even have a bone left.
At this time, Sang Ru took the bowl and chopsticks, and with a gloomy face, she served Xie Zhili a bowl of rice. Then she caught a glimpse of Xie Zhili touching her wife's hand. She regretted that she didn't have croton seeds in her hand, otherwise she would have stuffed some into the rice to kill him.
Yu Qinghuan calmly pulled her hand back from Xie Zhili's, "It's getting late, you must be hungry, let's eat quickly."
The moment his hands were empty, Xie Zhili felt empty in his heart as well. He vaguely noticed that Yu Qinghuan's attitude towards him was a little different today than usual, but he didn't think too deeply about it. He just thought it was because he didn't go to look for her last night.
…
After dinner, Sang Ru came back with a pot of hot water and saw Xie Zhili walking towards her with two boxes in his pockets.
She wanted to close the door immediately, but she forced herself to hold it back. She turned around and told Yu Qinghuan, "Madam, the Second Master is coming here. Do you want to close the door?"
The second master came here at this time, it must be for that matter.
When she thought of this, Sang Ru became even more angry. This man was so shameless that he took advantage of her wife day and night in the name of having an heir. But her wife meant that she couldn't expose this man now!
Before Yu Qinghuan could open her mouth, Xie Zhili had already hurried into the house, as if he was afraid that the door would be closed by the little maid standing at the door.
Xie Zhili placed the box on the table and said to Yu Qinghuan, "Look what I brought you."
Yu Qinghuan put on a coat and walked around the screen. She saw two boxes on the table and looked at Xie Zhili in confusion. "What are these?"
Xie Zhili smiled, "Open it and you'll know."
Sang Ru, who was guarding the door, looked inside. What good things could be put in those two ugly boxes? Her wife was not the kind of person who would be dazzled by simple coaxing.
Yu Qinghuan picked up one of the boxes and opened it. A faint fragrance of tea filled the air, and the box was full of tea leaves.
She was familiar with this taste. It was the tea she drank last time in Biluozhai of the Marquis' Mansion. In the entire Marquis' Mansion, only Wang could drink this tea.
The best tea in Beijing costs ten gold coins per ounce, and some of it is even unaffordable even if you have money, but now Xie Zhili has bought a whole box.
Xie Zhili took in Yu Qinghuan's reaction and raised his thin lips slightly. This was top-quality tea. Even the nobles in the capital had to spend a lot of money to buy some. Mu Huaian definitely didn't have such good tea.
"Do you like the tea I said I would bring you last time?"
Yu Qinghuan smiled and nodded, closing the lid. "I like it. Thank you very much."
Seeing Xie Zhili presenting a treasure, I guess this tea is not cheap. After all, Wang is a person who knows how to enjoy life. I just wonder how much money this box can get if it is sold.
Her eyes fell on the second box, and she actually felt a little anticipation in Xie Zhili's urging gaze. She thought that the things in this box must be more precious and valuable than the tea just now.
Yu Qinghuan immediately opened the second box and saw a palm-sized dough figurine lying inside.
She was stunned for a moment, remembering that before she married into the Marquis' Mansion, Xie Zhiwen, in order to please her, learned the craft from the vendor of a dough figurine-making stall, and personally made a dough figurine for her.
Although the dough figurine is not worth much gold, the young man's thoughts are so pure that they are touching.
Yu Qinghuan's heart couldn't help but pound.
Under Xie Zhili's expectant gaze, she took the dough figurine out of the box.
The dough figurine is exquisite, which shows that the maker has superb craftsmanship, but... why does this dough figurine look like Xie Zhili himself?
Yu Qinghuan forced a smile on his face and pointed the face at Xie Zhili, "I wonder what you mean by this?"
Xie Zhili's deep eyes were filled with smiles and a hint of pride as he slowly explained, "I heard you loved dough figurines, so I asked someone to make one for you."
Yu Qinghuan's forehead twitched. Could it be that because Xie Zhiwen had specially gone to learn from a dough-making master, Xie Zhili thought that he loved dough figurines?
But the one that Xie Zhiwen molded was the image of her, Yu Qinghuan.
And Xie Zhili asked someone to make a sculpture of himself and gave it to her. Who was he trying to impress?
Xie Zhili held Yu Qinghuan's hand, leaned forward slightly, and placed his face next to the dough figurine, as if comparing them. "Look closely, doesn't this dough figurine look very similar to me?"
Yu Qinghuan nodded, "Yes."
If you want to make a doll at night, there are ready-made ones. You don’t have to go out and ask someone to sew the doll. Xie Zhili is really considerate.
Xie Zhili held Yu Qinghuan's hand tightly, his eyes showing some sincerity, "If you can't see me, just look at this person."
Yu Qinghuan: “…” So he wants to use the “seeing something and missing someone” trick.
Xie Zhili is really shameless.
She curled her lips and said, "You are so thoughtful. I will definitely treasure it."
I'll find a box to put it in and buy a few locks to prevent myself from accidentally finding it and seeing it one day and getting upset.
Sang Ru at the door was embarrassed to watch. The Second Master was already a grown man, but he didn't even understand how to please a little girl. Could it be that he didn't have a confidante in the past?
She wanted to see what tricks Xie Zhili could come up with, but the door was closed by Qing Zhui who came over.
Inside the room, Xie Zhili held Yu Qinghuan's hand, his eyes filled with warmth. "I missed you so much last night, and I hope you'll have mercy on me tonight..."
Before he could finish his words, the hand in his palm was pulled away.
Yu Qinghuan chuckled twice, "It's getting late today, so I guess we can't."
