Chapter 185: I Can Heat Up the Meals for My Wife
"Husband, don't say such things carelessly. If I dare to have second thoughts about you, not only my father, but even the ancestors of the Cao family will not let me go!"
Chunxi rushed over and covered Shen Qingyuan's mouth.
She pounced so hastily that Shen Qingyuan and the chair beneath him leaned back.
Shen Qingyuan immediately put his arms around Chunxi's waist to prevent her from falling and getting hurt.
Chunxi didn't notice this small detail. She just stared at Shen Qingyuan seriously and said, "Marrying my husband in this life is my greatest fortune. Even if he gets older than me, I will never despise him, let alone fall in love with someone else. I, Cao Chunxi, only love my husband in this life. If I break my promise, I will suffer..."
Chunxi was about to swear an oath without hesitation, but Shen Qingyuan quickly pinched her lips and prevented her from uttering the last word.
"Alright, I already know what Madam wants. You don't have to do this," Shen Qingyuan said, looking at Ah Li. "From now on, you will follow me. I will tell you the specific rules later. Now go down."
After Ah Li left, Chun Xi still lay in Shen Qingyuan's arms and refused to get up. Shen Qingyuan patted her on the buttocks and said, "Madam, if you don't get up, this chair will fall apart."
Chunxi didn't move, humming softly, "My husband and the Prince Consort were classmates. They clearly knew that the princess and I weren't going on a normal outing today, but they deliberately made fun of me. I feel so hurt, I can't get up."
As she spoke, Chunxi put her arms around Shen Qingyuan's neck and sat astride his legs.
The situation suddenly changed and it became Chunxi who interrogated him.
Shen Qingyuan's eyes dimmed slightly, but he didn't rush to drive Chunxi away. He said gently, "Madam, you've seen a lot of young and handsome men today. Shouldn't I be the one who gets hurt?"
"They are like flowers in a garden, blooming beautifully. I only admire them for a moment and then forget them. But my husband is different. He has taken root in my heart. I think about him all the time."
Anyway, everything has been said, and Chunxi feels very justified now.
Shen Qingyuan really liked her unbridled behavior in front of him, so he stopped teasing her and said seriously, "The Prince Consort and I were indeed classmates. We used to have a good relationship. Before he married the princess, he actually had someone he loved. I once advised him not to marry her against the princess's will, but the princess accidentally overheard me."
“…”
Chunxi felt embarrassed for Shen Qingyuan when she thought about how he was caught red-handed while ruining someone's marriage.
She frowned and asked, "It's been so many years since this happened. My husband, you don't think the princess has been holding it in her heart and is taking revenge on you in this way, right?"
As soon as the words fell, Shen Qingyuan flicked Chunxi's forehead. Shen Qingyuan didn't use much force, but Chunxi immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected herself and admitted her mistake. Shen Qingyuan then continued, "The two of them didn't live happily after their marriage. The princess is willing to befriend you and even give you someone. I think she is thanking me for reminding her back then."
As expected of a princess, this thank you gift and way of expressing gratitude are quite special.
Chunxi sighed inwardly, but after enduring it for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Since the Prince Consort didn't disobey the order, he must be willing to give up his old love and live a good life with the princess. Why is he not happy? Could it be that the Prince Consort's old love did something?"
"I'm not sure what exactly happened, but the Prince Consort has long since cut off contact with that person."
"Why are you so sure, my husband?"
"After the consort and the princess got married, she married the Grand Tutor's youngest son and became the fifth wife of the Grand Tutor's mansion. Not long after the marriage, she followed her husband to live permanently in Wengzhou."
Wengzhou and Hanjing are thousands of miles apart, so it is indeed unlikely that the two would have any connection.
Chunxi nodded and prepared to stand up and sit back in her seat, but her waist was restrained. Chunxi felt something was wrong and quickly reminded: "Husband, the meal is not finished yet. I just took two bites."
Shen Qingyuan carried Chunxi in this position and walked into the house: "It's okay, it's okay to eat later."
"The food will get cold if you delay."
Chunxi tried to struggle, but Shen Qingyuan closed the door and pressed her against it: "I, your husband, can help you get warm."
"But... well!"
Chunxi's lips were sealed before he could finish his words.
Perhaps to prove that he was no worse than a 17 or 18-year-old boy, Shen Qingyuan acted quite bravely, and Chunxi's waist was almost rubbed raw by the door panel.
Shen Qingyuan finally kept his promise and heated up the food, but Chunxi didn't even have the strength to pick up the chopsticks.
The next day, Chunxi did not go out, and did not even get out of bed. She just rested in the house. In the evening, she received a letter from Xiao Qinghe, asking her to have dinner at Zuixianlou two days later.
He'er's letter came so quickly that she thought she would have to wait for a long time.
Two days later, Chunxi arrived at the appointment on time. When she arrived at Zuixianlou, Xiao Qinghe had already arrived.
I haven't seen Xiao Qinghe for a while, but he hasn't changed much and seems to be in good spirits.
Xiao Qinghe didn't let Quezhi wait in the room. After Chunxi sat down, he took the initiative to speak: "I came here today specifically to apologize to my aunt."
"He'er didn't do anything wrong to me, so why should she apologize? It was me who acted without consulting you last time, so I should be the one to apologize."
"Auntie didn't discuss this with me because she wanted me to take this opportunity to see clearly what kind of person the person next to me is. She didn't mean to deceive me, but to help me. If I can't even tell this, then all her efforts would be in vain."
Xiao Qinghe's tone was relieved, but his eyes were firm, and it was obvious that he had made a decision.
Chunxi breathed a sigh of relief and clinked his cup with hers. "He'er is so smart. Good luck will surely come to you in the future."
The two drank together, and when they finished, Xiao Qinghe spoke again: "I have made up my mind to divorce Wei Lingze."
Chunxi's eyes lit up, and she quickly poured another glass of wine for Xiao Qinghe. "He'er, it's great that you can think it through. A good girl like you should be loved and pampered. You absolutely shouldn't waste your time on someone who is not worthy."
Chunxi was very happy for Xiao Qinghe. Infected by her tone, Xiao Qinghe smiled and said, "As expected, my aunt is different from others. She doesn't pour cold water on me and say that I am daydreaming."
Marriage between aristocratic families is no joke. Once the marriage is completed, there is no room for error. If there is a divorce, the two families will become enemies, which will have a great impact on the children of the family. Even if Old Lady Xiao and Madam Xiao feel sorry for Xiao Qinghe and support her divorce, they still have to give a reasonable explanation to the elders of both sides.
The Xiao family had already been criticized for postponing the wedding, and now it was even more difficult for Xiao Qinghe to get a divorce without affecting the Xiao family's reputation.
"How can this be a fantasy?" Chunxi heard Xiao Qinghe's timidity and said lightly, "With my background and experience, I've married your Uncle Shen. You still have the Xiao family as your backing, so kicking out a bastard is not a big deal."
Xiao Qinghe: "..."
It sounds like it's not that difficult, and it seems that the aunt is getting more and more fluent in scolding Wei Lingze.
On the second day after meeting Xiao Qinghe, Chunxi received another invitation from Princess Hengyang.
She really couldn't sit still, so she held a chrysanthemum viewing banquet in the princess's mansion.
