At this moment, Zhang Xiuyuan heard the voice and looked in the direction of Yi Qian.
Yi Qian raised the corners of his lips slightly, and was about to say hello, but the moment he saw Zhang Xiuyuan's face, his pupils constricted, as if he was frightened by something, and his little face turned pale.
"Mr. Shen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhang Xiuyuan could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Yi Qian.
It took Yi Qian a while to come back to his senses, but his eyes had already dimmed rapidly. He managed to pull up the corners of his lips and said, "No, it's okay."
"That's good, please sit down." Zhang Xiuyuan put the book aside and picked up the teapot beside him to make tea.
Yi Qian sat there with a dazed look on his face.
Zhang Xiuyuan noticed that something was wrong with him, but he didn't know what to say. The only contact between the two was Shen Chaomu, so he brought up the topic and talked about Shen Chaomu.
Yi Qian responded, but his face remained pale, as if his whole body had turned gray.
"Mr. Shen, if there is anything you need, you can tell me. I will definitely help to the best of my ability." Zhang Xiuyuan knew that he must be worried.
"No, it's okay." Yi Qian said it was okay, but waves of sadness surged in his chest.
How could Zhang Xiuyuan possibly help with this matter?
Yi Qian had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but the moment he saw Zhang Xiuyuan's face, he didn't want to ask anything because there was no need.
After drinking two cups of tea, Yi Qian finally left.
Before leaving, Yi Qian turned his head to look at the elegant young man under the crabapple tree, and understood something again.
It turns out that he is a stand-in.
The son who was forced by the Ministry of War was treated as a substitute.
Chen Chaomu, are you taking advantage of the fact that I love you to bully and humiliate me like this?
You clearly don't love me, so why did you lie to me and marry me?
Yi Qian suddenly felt an urge to explain things to Shen Chaomu and seek justice.
But after saying it, either Shen Chaomu admitted it or denied it.
If I deny it, will he continue to make trouble?
If I admit it, does that mean we have to divorce?
Yi Qian sadly discovered that even though he knew that he was just Zhang Xiuyuan's substitute, he was still unwilling to separate from Shen Chaomu.
"Yi Qian, you are such a jerk." Tears fell from the corners of his eyes, wetting his face.
-
"Master, my husband has returned, but he doesn't look well. He's asking the servant to move his clothes to another courtyard."
Shen Chaomu said calmly: "I understand, you can go down."
Judging from Yi Qian's current behavior, he must have already confirmed his guess. Shen Chaomu was already prepared for him to confront him, but he never expected that he didn't come.
Since he didn't ask, Shen Chaomu pretended not to know.
That night, the two of them no longer ate together, and there was only one person left in Shen Chaomu's yard.
She didn't care and was busy with her own things.
-
"Husband, please have something to eat." There were exquisite dishes on the table, but the dishes had been heated up from hot to cold and then back to hot again, and they still had not been eaten.
Yi Qian lay on the chaise longue beside him, looking listless. He coughed lightly, looked towards the courtyard gate, and said softly, "I don't have an appetite. Please have them leave."
"Husband..." The servant wanted to persuade him, but Yi Qian glanced at him sideways, and he could only swallow his words.
He didn't know what was wrong with his husband. Why did he suddenly go to find a man named Zhang Xiuyuan today? After coming back from there, he moved out of the owner's yard and came to this remote place.
