Chapter 51 Chapter 51

Shu Liang naturally noticed Gu Huaisheng's mood, but he still said: "What are you talking about, young master? You have to open your mouth before you can quarrel."

Gu Huaisheng was definitely not someone who could be scolded unilaterally. As soon as Jiang Jingchun started the fight, he would talk back.

No one is willing to bow their heads. They are not happy until their eyes turn red.

Gu Huaisheng felt the pain at the base of his thumb becoming more and more obvious, and he couldn't help but stretch out his fingers and stroke it twice.

He looked at the tooth marks, lowered his eyes and said, "What should we do?"

He was always somewhat ignorant of human nature in these matters, cold-hearted to the point of being almost ruthless. When the teacher chased him away, he did not say anything to show his respect, but just turned around and left. The fate of the world is as thin as water, if it is not meant to be, don't force it.

He is used to solving problems this way.

I regret it a lot...Now when I think about what happened back then, I really regret it.

"You can't tell right from wrong when it comes to love, and you're not really right. If there's something to argue about... My cousin has always been soft-hearted, so you just need to coax her with a gentle voice. Besides, Confucius once said that it's only women and villains that are hard to raise, and if you get close to them, you'll be no less. Madam, because you're close to you, you don't care so much and say whatever you want."

Is it because of closeness?

A rare trace of confusion appeared in Gu Huaisheng's eyes.

In fact, he felt that what Shuliang said was a little wrong, because every time she seemed to really want to get angry with him and quarrel with him, she seemed to just want to make him feel uncomfortable.

But Shuliang seemed to be right about what he said, why did he always have to quarrel with her?

Comfort her...

He is right.

Jiang Jingchun has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He becomes tougher when facing a stronger opponent. When he gets angry, he doesn't care about anything and will bite him until he bleeds, but he won't care whether he lives or dies.

He was not afraid of pain, but what she said made him feel a little bit painful.

He is tough, but she is tougher than him.

If they really want to compete in strength, how can he be her match?

After hearing Shu Liang's words, Gu Huaisheng's brows seemed to relax a little.

Seeing that his expression was somewhat relaxed, Shu Liang continued, "Young Master, you think what I said is right, right? I'm not talking nonsense. My sister used to have the same temper. She always liked to steal candies before going to bed. This is not a good habit, but no matter how we talked to her, she was not happy to listen. The more aggressive we were, the more she would make trouble. She would try to be right even if she was wrong. But later, I asked my parents to buy her some sweet cakes and coax her in a nice way. Then she stopped making noises and stopped stealing candies at night."

"Little girls are all like this. They don't like being scolded. They've heard enough of being scolded."

Everyone likes to teach little girls a lesson.

It seems that everyone tacitly assumes that little girls will never grow up and that they are mentally immature. A young girl has heard countless admonitions from childhood to adulthood. Everyone thinks that they are better than her and always likes to impose countless ideas on her.

You need to listen to the training before you get married, and you need to listen to it again after you get married.

Who could like it?

Gu Huaisheng recalled the time when Jiang Jingchun asked him whether he wanted to be her husband or her father?

He was thoughtful...

He is not a stupid person. He seems to know what to do as long as others give him some advice.

Don't always lecture her in a condescending manner, but coax her more.

Even if she scolded him, he would still coax her.

Even if she hit him, he would still comfort her.

After returning to Gu's house, Gu Huaisheng was called over by Mrs. Gu.

It just so happened that Gu Huaisheng also had something to say to her, so they turned and went to Jinghua Hall.

When he went there, Mrs. Gu was already waiting for him in the main room. He quietly put his hands into his sleeves to hide the marks on his hands.

I was afraid she would see me and ask more questions.

Gu Huaisheng was the first to ask, "Why did mother call me here today?"

I don’t know what you want to say by suddenly calling him here today.

Mrs. Gu actually wanted to ask Gu Huaisheng about that matter today, but she didn't ask directly. If Gu Huaisheng really had that problem, asking directly would be a bit hurtful to his self-esteem, considering how stubborn he is.

She first just asked about the two of them returning home today, and Gu Huaisheng answered one by one.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Gu finally opened her mouth and asked about the real business.

She asked in a roundabout way, "That Fu Yan... it's like this, have you felt that you have been particularly irritable these past two days?"

Gu Huaisheng was just about to say this, and he said with a headache: "Mother, it's not normal for me not to feel irritated after eating the dishes you cooked. From now on, we will eat in Cangzhuoyuan instead of going to the dining hall."

I really can't stand it if I continue using it.

Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It didn't sound like there was anything wrong with what Gu Huaisheng said. She didn't care about the fact that they would no longer dine together in the future. She wanted to ask him about that matter, but she didn't know how to ask for a while.

Forget it, Mrs. Gu comforted herself in her heart. He is her son, and as a mother, there is nothing she cannot ask.

After thinking about this, Mrs. Hou Gu finally spoke. She asked, "So there is no problem with you, right?"

What's the problem?

He looked at Mrs. Gu opposite him and saw that she seemed to be hesitant to speak. He soon understood what she meant. Did she think that he was not good enough?

Gu Huaisheng didn't quite understand why she asked this.

He didn't understand and asked, "Why did mother suddenly ask this?"

Mrs. Gu said, "How can I not be worried about you? You have never had a concubine before, and you two didn't do the things that a married couple should do on your wedding day. I wonder if you have any unspeakable health problems... So is there anything wrong with you?"

When Gu Huaisheng heard this, he immediately felt a severe headache. How did this get into the issue of whether it was feasible or not?

Mrs. Gu was an experienced person after all, so she didn't feel ashamed when she said these words.

She asked again, "Besides, if you are so angry, why don't you consummate the marriage? Is it not a problem of that nature, but something more serious? Why not call a doctor to take a look?"

Gu Huaisheng didn't quite understand why Mrs. Gu was so sure that he was impotent. He rubbed his aching forehead and said, "Don't think too much. There is no problem in that regard. Why don't you believe me?"

Mrs. Gu heard what Gu Huaisheng said, but he was still stubborn, "It's okay, mother won't tell anyone else..."

Gu Huaisheng also replied to her seriously, "It's really okay, go ahead and tell others if you want."

Mrs. Gu carefully observed his expression again. It didn't look like he was lying. Could it be that she really wronged him?

She hesitated and said, "That's not right. Why did Jingchun say that you are not good enough? I asked her why you didn't consummate your marriage that day, and she said it was because you were not good enough?"

Gu Huaisheng fell completely silent after hearing this, and even stopped rubbing his forehead with his hands.

Jiang Jingchun said he is not very good?

It hasn't even happened yet, why is he so bad?

Gu Huai didn't want to continue talking to Mrs. Gu about this topic. He just said, "I have no problem. Don't listen to her nonsense."

Why do you keep saying this?

After knowing the reason, Gu Huaisheng did not stay any longer and got up and returned to his own yard.

*

It was getting late, and it was time for dinner. Today, the two of them did not go to the dining hall to eat with Mrs. Gu. It was troublesome to go back and forth, so they ate in their own yard from now on.

Besides, Gu Huaisheng was a little scared of those dishes and felt a headache just thinking about them.

When Gu Huaisheng returned to Cangzhuoyuan, Gu Huailang was also there. It was unknown when he came to visit Jiang Jingchun.

The two men were sitting in the yard. Gu Huailang was playing with some toys in his hands, and Jiang Jingchun was sitting nearby watching. The two of them chatted from time to time.

Seeing Gu Huaisheng coming back, Gu Huailang called him "Brother", but Jiang Jingchun's eyes were still on Gu Huailang, not looking at him or speaking.

Just pretend you didn't see this person.

There was a calm expression on her face, not necessarily showing any anger, but it seemed as if she had made up her mind not to pay any attention to him.

Gu Huaisheng responded to Gu Huailang and then walked over to them.

He said to Gu Huailang, "It's time for dinner. You should go back to look for your mother."

Gu Huailang shook his head and asked, "Can't I stay and have dinner with you?"

"Of course."

Before Gu Huaisheng could say anything, he heard Jiang Jingchun reply to Gu Huailang first. She stood up, took Gu Huailang's hand and was about to go inside.

Since Jiang Jingchun said so, Gu Huaisheng naturally didn't say anything. He pursed his lips and followed them into the house.

It was almost time for dinner, and the servants soon brought the dishes to the main room.

The meal was strangely quiet. Gu Huailang was still talking at first, but when he saw that the two men were not in high spirits, he gradually became quiet.

It looked like they were arguing... Gu Huaisheng was fine, as usual, with no emotion, but it was obvious that Jiang Jingchun was unhappy.

Ever since Gu Huaisheng came back, there has been no expression on her face.

Although Gu Huailang is young, he is also thoughtful and has noticed some of her emotional changes.

He buried his head in his meal and didn't dare to say anything else. After finishing his meal, he didn't dare to stay here any longer. He said goodbye to the two of them, got up and went back to Jinghua Hall.

As soon as he left, the room became quieter.

The two of them came back late today, and it was already dark. Candles were lit in the house, and their shadows were projected onto the wall. The wicks flickered, and their shadows swayed with them. Gu Huaisheng coughed lightly and was about to speak when he saw Jiang Jingchun stand up and go inside.

The words I wanted to say got stuck in my throat.

Gu Huaisheng knew that she was probably still angry with him because of what happened in the carriage, and he also knew that if he continued to bother her now, it would probably make her even angrier. He was speechless and did not follow her for the time being.

Jiang Jingchun got up early today. He had been outside all day and felt tired by the evening. He had already cleaned himself and gone to bed before the hour of Xu.

When Gu Huaisheng came back from outside later in the evening, he saw Jiang Jingchun had already gone to bed. She had turned off the light inside, and it was pitch dark. Only the moonlight shining through the lattice window brought a little light.

Jiang Jingchun had his back to the outside and was facing the wall, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or not.

Gu Huaisheng sighed, went into the clean room inside to wash up, and then got on the bed together.

As soon as he lifted the quilt, he saw her shoulders shrink slightly inward in the moonlight outside the window.

It looks like he hasn't slept yet.

She is still angry.

Still mad about the quarrel in the carriage.

Gu Huaisheng got under the quilt and moved to Jiang Jingchun's side. Sure enough, she said a few moments later, "Don't get so close to me."

Her whispered scolding was particularly obvious in the quiet night.

The voice sounded deep and muffled, and indeed contained a hint of anger.

Gu Huaisheng was stopped by her and really did not move.

They were both silent for a moment, and Gu Huaisheng spoke first: "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to quarrel with you today. Can you stop being angry?"

Jiang Jingchun immediately replied: "I'm not angry."

What does she have to be angry about?

Jiang Jingchun hid his face in the quilt and said in a rush, "You are right. Song Xuan'an and I are both stupid. We asked you to marry such a woman. You want to be stupid too, right? You have nothing to be sorry for. You are absolutely right."

She just didn't understand why he had the right to be so high-handed and criticize others. If he thought they were so stupid, why did he insist on marrying her? What was the point of them hating each other?

She said she was not angry, but in fact she had been holding a grudge since she came back.

The reason why Gu Huaisheng said sorry to him now was not because of anything else, but because he, Gu Huaisheng, was flexible and adaptable.

Doesn't she know him clearly yet? He tries to say some sweet words in front of her and then just let the matter go.

He is very smart.

Logically speaking, now that she had scolded him so much, his true colors should have been revealed immediately and he could no longer pretend.

At worst, they could just not sleep tonight and sit together and quarrel all night. If he dared to extend his finger to her again, she would bite his finger as well.

She had already thought about how to fight back, but what Gu Huaisheng said next was different from what she expected.

"I'm not going to call him stupid anymore, okay?"

Didn't she always tell him not to say bad things about Song Xuan'an? He just didn't say anything. Since she protected him like this, what else could he say?

It was useless even if he was jealous to the point of going crazy. Every quarrel only pushed her further away and made her hate him more. What else could it do?

Gu Huaisheng's clear voice, with a low magnetic sound in the night, floated into Jiang Jingchun's ears.

She felt Gu Huaisheng move closer to her again, and he said again, "I'm sorry, I really won't mention him again in the future."

This time he did not ask them in a condescending manner not to meet again. All he could do now was to say that he would not mention him again in the future.

He would no longer put himself in the position of "hitting a duck with a stick", which made him look stupid and ridiculous.

Gu Huai's voice, as clear as jade, seemed to be tinged with moisture at this moment. He said, "Can you stop being angry with me?"

His trembling voice reached Jiang Jingchun's ears, and she almost suspected that she had heard it wrongly.

She turned her head with full of suspicion, and saw that under the moonlight, there seemed to be tears in Gu Huaisheng's eyes.

In her entire life, she had seen him get angry three times.

The first time was about a year ago, when Gu Huaisheng’s teacher was beheaded. She went to look for him and saw that his eyes were red. There was another time, that time in Gongyuan, and the third time was tonight.

Jiang Jingchun really couldn't believe it. He was about to cry after just two sentences. This person was Gu Huaisheng, not someone else. Even when his hand was bitten by her, he just frowned. The words she just said weren't that harsh, right?

She thought she must have seen it wrong.

Those eyes reflecting the watery light seemed to have some kind of magical power that made her reach out to touch them.

Unexpectedly, my fingertips actually touched something wet.

The warm fingertips brushed across his eyes, and Gu Huaisheng chuckled softly. This chuckle sounded a bit bitter in Jiang Jingchun's ears. By the time she reacted and wanted to pull her hand back, it was too late.

He grasped her wrist, his cold fingertips touching her wrist, and he held her palm against his eyes.

Wet palms are more obvious.

Gu Huaisheng didn't know why he was like this, maybe it was because she always scolded him and spoke for other men, and he couldn't get angry, so this anger turned into tears and fell.

He feels like a shrew now.

real.

Very similar.

This inexplicable feeling came so aptly. He never thought that one day these two words would be used to describe him. It turned out that he was the pitiful and funny person.

Gu Huaisheng said, "You don't like me calling you my wife, so I won't call you that anymore. So, cousin, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
