Chapter 42 You don’t want to?
Wang held Chunxi and talked all night long.
The next day, Chunxi felt tired and kept yawning while sitting in the yard.
She wanted to go back to her room to take a nap, but when she turned her head, she saw her eldest brother standing in the corner with a freshly washed diaper, looking at her hesitantly, wanting to say something.
"Brother, is there something wrong?"
Chunxi took the initiative to speak, and Cao Wu came over. He looked serious and said solemnly: "Ah Xi, this family has let you down. Now that you have saved Lord Shen, you can leave this family with this favor. Don't come back in the future. I will support Ah Wen to finish his studies and will also take care of your mother until she dies."
As Cao Wu spoke, his eyes became red again.
He had been recuperating at home these days and had heard a lot of things from Qian. He realized that his mother was extremely partial to Ah Xi and had caused him a lot of grievances.
After Dad left, the family was almost unable to make ends meet. It was Ah Xi who sold herself as a slave to support the family. But on Ah Xi's birthday, Mom drugged Ah Xi and gave her to Young Master Liu. This was really cruel.
Cao Wu was too ashamed to face Chunxi, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, it was Chunxi who called a doctor to save his wife and children.
He didn't want Ah Xi to continue to be dragged down by this family.
Cao Wu took out a dozen taels of silver and stuffed them into Chunxi's hand. "The doctors and medicine at Huichuntang are very expensive. This is all I have right now. Take it first. I'll pay you back the rest later."
Afraid that Chunxi would not accept it, Cao Wu prepared a lot of words to persuade her, but the next moment he heard Chunxi's straightforward voice: "Okay, it's your responsibility to take care of your sister-in-law and nephew. As your younger sister, I won't compete with you for it."
Cao Wu was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief, scratching his head and laughing foolishly.
Ah Xi still recognizes him as his elder brother.
After breakfast, Qian's mother took Qian aside and talked to her for a long time before reluctantly leaving.
Wang warmly took Qian's mother's arm and sent her off. As soon as they left the courtyard, Wang's expression changed: "Yesterday, Shopkeeper Liu compensated them with a hundred taels of silver to replenish their health. Mother-in-law, you can't take it all, right?"
"What do you mean by 'greed'? Mother-in-law, what you said is really harsh," Qian's mother raised her voice. "My daughter was bullied in your house and almost got into trouble. Your son was a coward and refused to support her. Her father and I brought people to help seek justice. It would be fine if you didn't thank us, but to say such things is really petty."
Qian's mother scolded both Cao Wu and Wang Shi with her words. Wang Shi's face turned ugly, but Qian's mother didn't give her a chance to refute. She continued, "Mother-in-law, don't think that we don't know about this at the farm. Your daughter Chunxi is very capable. Not only did she get many good things from the Wei family, but now she has saved Mr. Shen from Jingzhao Prefecture. You will enjoy endless happiness in the future. Why bother with us about this little money?"
That’s one hundred taels of silver, it’s just a small amount.
Moreover, Chunxi has caused countless troubles now. It is a blessing that his family did not lose their lives. How can they enjoy a peaceful life?
But she couldn't say these words to Qian's mother. Wang could only suppress her heartache and say, "I'm not arguing with you, but this money is for your daughter and grandson after all. Even if you don't say you want to hand it all over, you should at least give some, right?"
"Of course. We will send you a gift when the child celebrates his 100th day."
After saying this, Qian's mother pulled her arm away and strode away.
Why do you pretend to love your daughter so much? Isn't it because it is profitable?
Wang was so angry that she spat at the air. Just as she was about to turn around and go back, a carriage stopped in front of her and Shen Qingyuan lifted the curtain and walked down.
The harsh expression on Wang's face hadn't disappeared in time. When their eyes met, Wang's face was a little embarrassed, but she still forced herself to speak: "Master Shen, why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick up Chunxi."
Shen Qingyuan looked calm and confident.
Wang was in a trance for a moment, as if Chunxi had become Shen Qingyuan's person.
Wang wanted to refute, but before she could open her mouth, Qingshu took out a pile of gifts from the carriage and said, "Miss Chunxi saved my master's life. This is a thank you gift that my master specially asked me to buy."
Wang swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
This Lord Shen is quite polite.
Wang forced a smile and took Shen Qingyuan home.
In the yard, Chunxi fell asleep in the sun.
There was no recliner at home, so she twisted her waist and leaned on the back of the chair. Her face was squeezed and deformed, and she looked uncomfortable, but she slept soundly.
How can you fall asleep in broad daylight?
Wang's face darkened. She wanted to wake Chunxi up to boil water for tea, but she heard Shen Qingyuan say, "Let her sleep. There's no need to wake her."
After saying that, he walked over to Chunxi.
It was the beginning of summer, and near noon, the sun was a bit hot. Shen Qingyuan was tall, and when he stood next to Chunxi, he just blocked the sun and cast a shadow on Chunxi.
This scene was indescribably gentle and affectionate.
Wang's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
Could it be that Lord Shen has fallen in love with this dead girl?
But Young Master Wei hadn't planned to let go yet. Wang was still trying to go forward and wake Chunxi up. Qingshu, for once, had a quick mind and stepped in front of Wang: "Aunt, where do you put these things?"
Wang took Qingshu to the main hall. The yard became quiet. There was a sound of wind, and the pomegranate flowers on the tree beside the courtyard wall swayed gently.
One of the flowers came with the wind, and seemed to fall on Chunxi's face. Shen Qingyuan stretched out his hand, and Chunxi woke up at this moment.
Chunxi had just opened her eyes and her mind was still not clear. Seeing Shen Qingyuan standing in front of her, she thought she was dreaming.
Moreover, Shen Qingyuan's hand was very close to her, and at first glance it looked like he was going to touch her face.
“Bang!”
Chunxi raised his hand and slapped himself.
Cao Chunxi, wake up! How could you have such a dream that damages Lord Shen's image?
Chunxi was very ruthless and felt pain on her face immediately. She suddenly realized that this was not a dream and stared at Shen Qingyuan with wide eyes.
Shen Qingyuan showed her the pomegranate flower that fell in his hand, and said seriously: "What did you dream about? Why did you hit yourself?"
“…”
How should she respond?
Talking about her own heart, did she misunderstand Lord Shen as having ulterior motives?
Chunxi's face flushed slightly, and he was speechless for once. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I just dreamed that there was a mosquito buzzing in my ear. I wanted to swat it. Why is the master here?"
As he spoke, Chunxi stood up swiftly and gave the chair to Shen Qingyuan.
Shen Qingyuan sat down and repeated what he had just said to Wang: "I'll pick you up."
Qian gave birth to a child safely, and Chunxi took the opportunity to shock the Liu family. She was originally going to shamelessly continue to live in the Xiao family, but it was much more decent for Shen Qingyuan to come and pick her up in person.
Chunxi was very grateful. After thinking for a moment, she leaned over to Shen Qingyuan and whispered, "Sir, don't be too nice to me. The Marquis's wife will use this as an excuse to plot against you."
Shen Qingyuan's eyes flickered: "What happened?"
Chunxi threatened Wang with Mo, asking her to repay the favor and ask Madam Xiao to briefly tell her about her marriage to Shen Qingyuan as his second wife.
Chunxi thought Shen Qingyuan would be angry or sad after hearing this, but unexpectedly he heard him ask: "You don't want to?"
No, isn't that the point of this matter?
Besides, sir, you are of noble status, and it is you who should suffer the loss. How can it be my turn to be willing?
Wait, Chunxi suddenly looked at Shen Qingyuan: "Sir, are you willing?"
