"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, Wenxi is here, he'll take care of me."
Shen Hechuan: What if you get even angrier?
However, Gu Jingchun wanted them to return to the capital as soon as possible, so Shen Hechuan couldn't force her to take the carriage.
He could only watch helplessly as she and Ye Wenxi rode their horses together, chatting and laughing from time to time, looking quite happy.
He was so angry that his eyes were blazing. He glanced at the shoulder in his hand and felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.
Looking at Gu Jinxi lying asleep, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
"Why."
He sighed.
"Xi'er, this woman is unreliable. Look at your mother, she's been talking to that Ye guy the whole way here!"
"Why do they have so much to say?"
Still laughing?
"What's so funny? Why is she still laughing?"
“Look at that guy surnamed Ye’s eyes, they’re practically glued to your mother. It’s disgusting, how could he secretly look at your mother? I think he deserves a beating. Once my shoulder is healed, I’ll definitely put a sack over his head and give him another good beating.”
Shen Hechuan was talking enthusiastically, his rambling was entirely due to his deep resentment, which was quite different from his usual demeanor.
Just then, a childish voice came from over.
"Yeah?"
"I saw Uncle Wenxi being beaten up before. Was it Father who beat him up that time?"
Shen Hechuan nodded.
"I'm going to hit him. Who told him to keep an eye on your mother all the time? If I don't hit him, who should I hit?"
As he was speaking, he suddenly realized and looked down, only to see Gu Jinxi sitting next to him, looking ahead with him.
He instinctively leaned back, his heart pounding faster with fright.
But because he moved so fast, Gu Jinxi looked up at him in surprise.
"Seele, when did you wake up?"
Gu Jinxi blinked.
"Just as you were saying that your mother was laughing nonstop."
As he spoke, he frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
“Father, I think what you just said is wrong.”
Gu Jinxi spoke with a straight face.
"As a man, a husband who deeply loves his wife, and a man behind his mother, you should have a broad and strong heart."
"We should be tolerant and not petty or narrow-minded."
"What did Mother do wrong?"
"She just likes to look at pretty people."
"Everyone has a love for beauty. Besides, Mother was just looking and didn't do anything."
"How can Father restrict Mother like this?"
"Moreover, Uncle Wenxi is Mother's man. As a qualified husband, you should not only not be dissatisfied with this, but also help Mother and use your tolerance to influence her. Only then will Mother put you first."
"That way, you won't be outdone by others."
Shen Hechuan looked at the serious-looking Gu Jinxi, then at the backs of Gu Jingchun and Ye Wenxi, and once again wanted to give this little guy a good beating.
"Who taught you these words?"
"Your mother?"
Shen Hechuan's voice was sinister, but unfortunately Gu Jinxi didn't notice it. Instead, she blinked her big eyes and shook her head.
"No, I saw it in a storybook."
As he spoke, he took out the sketchbook from his pocket, opened it, and showed it to Shen Hechuan.
"Look, the husband here is so considerate. Seeing that his wife works hard every day, and because he is old and faded, he can no longer take good care of her. So he thoughtfully bought several young men for his wife to serve her."
His wife was grateful for his thoughtfulness and was very pleased, saying that he had become more and more sensible and considerate, and entrusted the whole family to him.
To reassure him, she promised him that in her heart, he was her only husband, and everyone else was just a passerby.
Shen Hechuan had always thought that Gu Jinxi read harmless things, but he never expected that he would actually read such things.
Seeing the messy contents inside, he got so angry that he grabbed the storybook.
"What kind of things are you looking at? You're ruining your life as a child. I'll keep them for you for now, and I'll give them back to you when you grow up."
Gu Jinxi was shocked that Shen Hechuan would take her storybook. She quickly reached out to take it, but Shen Hechuan swiftly lifted it up.
Gu Jinxi hurriedly tried to snatch it, her eagerness evident.
"Father, give it to me quickly. This is not an ordinary storybook. This is a storybook written by Teacher Fu. There are only a few sets in the entire Dacheng."
This is my only set, so please don't break it.
Seeing that Shen Hechuan remained unmoved, she frowned and whispered a plea:
"Father, please give the book back to me. I promise I will never read it again, and I will no longer interfere with your affairs about Mother, nor will I make any demands on you as described in the book."
"Is it okay!"
"Furthermore, I will help Father keep an eye on Mother and will never let Mother look at another man again."
As he spoke, he added one last sentence.
"Furthermore, if anything happens to Mother in the future, I will inform Father immediately."
Shen Hechuan relaxed his brows and his expression softened somewhat, but he strongly disapproved of Gu Jinxi reading such books.
But he also believed that Gu Jingchun must have had a prior understanding of these books, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with them. So he put down his hands, but instead of returning the books to Gu Jinxi directly, he asked another question.
"Then tell me, why did you read this storybook?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinxi immediately smiled and confidently replied, "That's because this is a rare and extraordinary book."
Shen Hechuan frowned slightly, clearly disagreeing.
Gu Jinxi didn't explain, and continued, "This is not an ordinary storybook, but an equal and free country."
As he spoke, he stepped forward, took the book from Shen Hechuan's hand, opened it, and pointed to the contents, showing them to Shen Hechuan one by one.
"Look, in this book, all the houses they live in are multi-story buildings, the tallest of which is a hundred stories high."
The carriages they traveled in were not carriages, but something called cars. Although I have never seen a car, judging from the description, it must be something extraordinary. There were also airplanes, which are things that fly in the sky.
And this, a cell phone.
As long as you hold it in your hand, you can see and talk to each other even if the other person is thousands of miles away. It's really amazing.
Furthermore, the main characters in the story are all equal, regardless of gender.
Moreover, the version in this book is different from the one we have here.
This book depicts women working outside the home while men stay home managing household chores, caring for their wives, and raising children.
