Yu Chuxi never thought that this would be the reason.
But the man in front of me spoke with a sincere tone and a focused expression, as if he was speaking from the heart.
But Yu Chuxi still found it hard to imagine that Xie Shu would actually "protect" his reputation!
Yu Chuxi looked at Xie Shu with mixed feelings. Over the past three years, the two had met very rarely, and the wedding that day was the time they spent the most time together.
However, Yu Chuxi still remembered that day, as soon as Xie Shu entered the bridal chamber, he couldn't wait to clear up their relationship in front of the other maids: "Mr. Yu, I know that you are seeking a son-in-law according to your father's order, not voluntarily, and I also have someone in my heart. I heard that you are a straightforward person, not fussy about details. Why don't we pretend first..."
Xie Shu was a little hesitant when he said this. Perhaps he also knew that even though Yu Chuxi was the son of a merchant, Shuang'er's reputation was different from that of a man. Even if the two divorced later, he could still marry the one he loved, but Yu Chuxi would be difficult to marry.
At this time, Yu Chuxi simply took off the veil himself. He glanced at the other person coldly and felt it was ridiculous. If it was another man, he would probably be deeply humiliated.
But Yu Chuxi was not someone else. He thought self-deprecatingly that there was nothing wrong with having more nominal husbands.
Then, Yu Chuxi said, "Okay, then we'll set it at three years. Thank you, sir. You can leave now."
In the past three years, Yu Chuxi seldom thought about what happened that day, and he had never been curious about who Xie Shu's lover was.
But why did Xie Shu suddenly remind him of such memories in this way?
At this moment, Yu Chuxi had countless sarcasm and ridicule in his heart and wanted to question him. He was not a good person to begin with.
But when Yu Chuxi looked into Xie Shu's eyes, he was staring at her intently. His eyes contained a faint light, reflecting a bright and moving arc, as gentle as jade. For a moment, it made people feel incredibly soft.
Yu Chuxi couldn't bear to hurt him.
In the end, Yu Chuxi just smiled strangely, his voice was unusually dry: "Do you care about these things too?"
Xie Shu didn't know what he had done to offend the young man. His long eyelashes fluttered and drooped down, and he was obviously unhappy.
Xie Shu originally thought that his worries had come true and that Yu Chuxi would trust others more, but it seemed that this was not the case. The person Yu Chuxi was angry with was... himself.
Xie Shu couldn't help but feel a little helpless, not knowing how to coax him.
In fact, Xie Shu didn't know why he thought of the word "coax". Although he didn't have many friends and they usually talked about academic matters, people would sometimes talk about emotional matters. Therefore, Xie Shu knew that when his girlfriend was angry, she needed to be coaxed.
However, no matter how handsome the man in front of her was, he did not have a single trace of femininity. He was clearly a man of great integrity. But for some reason, Xie Shu wanted to make him happy.
Xie Shu then tried to say something nice: "Of course I care. My dear is a very good person to me, so I can't stand others saying bad things about me, no matter who that person is."
After he said this, Yu Chuxi's smile became even weirder. His eyes seemed to be mixed with joy and anger. He just looked at him without saying anything.
Xie Shu therefore looked at him more nervously.
At this time, Yu Chuxi suddenly asked, "What if it was you who said I was bad?"
After being asked this question, Xie Shu finally understood why Yu Chuxi was angry just now. It turned out that it was related to his original body.
Although he didn't know what the original body had done, it didn't seem to be a good thing. Fortunately for Xie Shu, Yu Chuxi was not the kind of person who liked to hide things, but told him directly. Otherwise, Xie Shu really didn't know how to prescribe the right medicine.
Since it was the original body's fault, Xie Shu had nothing to say. He said without thinking, "I was a jerk before. Please forgive me, my dear. From now on, I will only say good things about you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chuxi couldn't help but burst out laughing. This time, the corners of his lips showed a loose, light smile, like the moon between clouds and snow between flowers.
Then, Yu Chuxi's voice rang out in a low voice, as if complaining quietly: "Sweet words and flattering appearance."
Xie Shu was close and could hear it clearly. To be eloquent was the meaning of sweet talk. Although Xie Shu didn't know what he was saying was sweet talk, since his lover was so happy, he didn't refute it and just looked at him with a smile.
Yu Chuxi stared at the person in front of him. Suddenly, at this moment, he cared more than ever before about the four words "I have someone in my heart" that the other person had said to him three years ago.
Yu Chuxi's smile gradually faded again. He wondered, what on earth is the other party doing now?
At this moment, all kinds of speculations flashed through Yu Chuxi's mind. He had previously suspected that Xie Shu was trying to please him deliberately for other purposes, probably like he had done several times in the past three years, asking for money or property.
But Xie Shu didn't need to go that far. After all, he had given it to him before.
The sudden change in Xie Shu happened after he fell into the water. Was there something strange about his falling into the water?
Or maybe his "heart belongs to" someone else...
Yu Chuxi was ready to investigate these things carefully, but now, Yu Chuxi suddenly had an incredible idea.
Did Xie Shu regret it?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Yu Chuxi couldn't help but think further. It made sense from a logical point of view.
Xie Shu needs to study and take exams, which one doesn't cost money? This is also one of the reasons why Xie Shu chose to marry into the Yu family.
As for the sentiment...
The three-year period was up, and I had been planning to divorce him, and I think he knew that. But when he came to see me that day, he didn't mention it at all.
Maybe...he...
Yu Chuxi couldn't explain his mood. He had been in the Yu family's big dye vat since he was a child, so he knew the importance of interests. But why did he feel depressed when he thought about the tenderness in the eyes of the person in front of him, who was also motivated by interests?
Yu Chuxi closed his eyelids slightly and stopped thinking about it. No matter what, the most important thing now was to deal with the troubles he would face next.
As for Xie Shu, as long as we are sure that he has no ill intentions, as for other purposes, we can just deal with them as they come.
Anyway, now that Yu Wanchun has returned early, there have been many complications, so the matter of their divorce will be put aside for now and will be discussed later...
Although Yu Chuxi didn't know what the rules would be in the future, after thinking through the current situation, Yu Chuxi was in a good mood and felt a little more calm than before.
At this moment, seeing that Yu Chuxi was thinking about something, with his eyes shining and the corners of his lips slightly raised, Xie Shu couldn't help but smile.
Yu Chuxi had no choice but to turn his eyes away and not look at him.
Next, Xie Shu noticed that Yu Chuxi seemed to be distracted, and guessed that he must have something else to do. It was a rare gesture for him to personally deliver the herbs. How could he take up his time again?
Xie Shu offered to take him out.
Yu Chuxi didn't insist, but he didn't let Xie Shu see him off. Instead, he asked him to rest well. Before leaving, he left a message asking him to come back if he had any problems.
Xie Shu didn't feel like bothering him again, and was about to refuse, but Yu Chuxi seemed to see through it, and instead narrowed his eyes and said, "If you don't come to me, are you going to look for...someone else?"
Xie Shu always felt that this was a dangerous question. Moreover, when the man in front of him raised his phoenix eyes, he seemed to want to be coaxed even more than before.
Xie Shu was not unaware of his situation. If he wanted to stay in the Yu family, making friends with Yu Chuxi was undoubtedly the best way.
After Yu Chuxi left, Xi Mo also walked in happily. Just now, he took the medicine and asked someone to boil it for Xie Shu. The servants who were lazy in the past were now scrambling to do it. Of course, Xi Mo had to teach them well.
After seeing her husband leave, Ximo hurried over to see her master. He was delighted to find that Xie Shu looked relaxed, thinking that the two of them must have had a pleasant conversation just now.
Ximo even had a bolder idea: when would the master move in with Yu Langjun and they live together?
For this, Xi Mo had to do his best. While letting the tonic cool down for Xie Shu, Xi Mo said, "Master, the medicine sent by Yu Langjun himself is different. I took a look just now. This ginseng is at least three hundred years old..."
Xi Mo talked a lot, and seeing Xie Shu just sitting on the bed and flipping through a book, he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged, but then he comforted himself and thought that although her husband was a little colder now, his temper had improved a lot.
At this moment, Xie Shu suddenly asked, "How much would this three hundred year old ginseng sell for if left outside?"
Ximo had bought medicine for Master Xie before, so he knew the market. He counted on his fingers and said, "Ginseng that is over a hundred years old is a rare commodity. The shopkeeper won't even keep it outside, let alone one that is three hundred years old? In the past few years, it would have cost about two hundred taels to get it, but it also depends on the quality."
What Xi Mo didn't say was that when buying medicine from a pharmacy outside, most of the time, the medicine would be shortchanged and sold as inferior goods, but the kind of treasure that Yu Langjun sent was something that sometimes couldn't be bought even with money.
However, it was not easy to explain Xi Mo too clearly. Xie Shu usually did not care about this and was not familiar with mundane affairs. He had given many good things to the Wei family before. If he said more, his master would be angry.
After hearing this, Xie Shu felt a little heavy-hearted.
He read in a book that the average family only spent ten taels of silver a year, so how could he be so extravagant in the Yu family?
Of course, Xie Shu knew very well that the basis of all this was his status as a son-in-law.
Although Xie Shu had no intention of being someone else's husband, he knew that if he quit now, it would be irresponsible and he would be unable to move forward without fully understanding this world.
So Xie Shu planned to keep his troops in place until everything was planned out, and just do as before.
What comforted Xie Shu a little was that his wife had never met him before and seemed to have no feelings for him. This saved him a lot of trouble. After all, he always heard people say that love debt is the most difficult thing in the world.
But the longer he stays here, the more he owes. How will he repay it in the future?
