Chapter 25 Apology
Being suddenly choked, Shen Wangshu was so shocked that he almost uttered a curse word. He looked at Chen Ting in astonishment, not expecting him to react so strongly.
The cold black iron gauntlet pressed against her skin, and the sharp fingertips could kill Shen Wangshu on the spot with just a little force. She didn't dare to move, and tears welled up quickly, looking at him with red eyes.
The tears rolled down unexpectedly, and even though there was a layer of black iron between them, Chen Ting felt as if he was suddenly scalded. He immediately let go of his hand, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
A conspicuous red mark appeared on the beauty's slender white neck. After being released, she immediately took a few steps back in panic, looking at him warily, with the gentle smile in her eyes no longer there.
Chen Ting suddenly didn't dare to look at her anymore and turned his head away in embarrassment. The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, and no one was willing to say a word.
In the end, the man took the initiative to leave the pavilion, leaving Shen Wangshu alone.
"......You are the one who asks. If I tell you, you will be unhappy again." After the people left, she couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "It's my fault again? Stinky man!"
She had good intentions in helping him resolve his unhappiness, but Chen Ting, after a few drinks, actually took it out on her. Shen Wangshu also got angry, thinking to herself, "I'm not going to serve you anymore. You've really been spoiled."
The maids over there saw the commotion in the pavilion from afar and knew that the general seemed to be angry. Then he left quickly, but they had no idea what the two men said to each other.
As soon as he left, he immediately rushed over anxiously.
Taohong looked at the mark on her master's neck, her eyes reddened with distress and she was about to cry. She was so anxious that she even changed her address: "Miss, the general just hit you? How could he do that!"
Shen Wangshu himself couldn’t see the red marks. He was so nervous when he was pinched just now that he didn’t feel any pain. He didn’t expect that this body was so delicate that it could easily leave marks.
Facing the worried looks of the maids, she suppressed her anger, shook her head calmly, and said, "I'm fine, go back."
Damn Chen Ting, if she takes the initiative to talk to him again, her feelings will be reversed!
Taohong followed her, choking with worry and saying, "Tomorrow is the day you will return home. Why did you get upset with the general tonight? Are you going back to Xiahou Mansion alone tomorrow?"
Quan Moyun, and even many pairs of eyes in the capital are secretly watching her. If the girl really goes back to her parents' home alone tomorrow, who knows what kind of gossip will spread!
Shen Wangshu was stunned. If Taohong hadn't said it, she would have really forgotten about returning home - before she knew it, she had been married to the Duke's Mansion for seven days.
"Only one person will go back." She said angrily, "Not only do I want to go back alone, I also want to stay in Xiahou Mansion for a few more days."
As if no one wants to be with this moody and stinky man.
Lvliu advised softly: "Girl, you can't be angry about this."
Nanny Liang's face darkened after hearing this: "A woman should marry a man..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Shen Wangshu before she finished her words: "Take your husband as your heaven, take your husband as your heaven, I know! But this time it was Chen Ting who got sick first! Nanny, don't say anything more, I don't want to hear a word!"
She is really angry and aggrieved now, and doesn't want to listen to any sermon.
Seeing that the usually gentle lady was angry with her for the first time, Nanny Liang sighed and dared not say anything more.
By the time he got back to the house, Shen Wangshu's feverish mind had almost calmed down. He took a bath as usual, used the fragrant milk soap, and when he finished straightening his hair before going to bed, Chen Ting had not returned yet.
In the past few days, whether eating or sleeping, Chen Wangshu would intentionally wait for him to be together, but tonight she refused to do so. She asked Wutong to blow out the lights, and then she rolled into the innermost part with the quilt rolled around.
Late at night, Chen Tingcai, who had just finished taking a cold shower in the ear room, appeared at the door.
Tao Hong, who was on duty at night, suddenly woke up from her drowsiness. She remembered that the general had attacked her master in the pavilion. She hesitated for a moment, but still bravely knelt in front of Chen Ting and pleaded in a low voice: "General, my wife will be home tomorrow. If you are unhappy, can you wait until she comes back to talk about it?"
The man glanced at the ignorant slave and said coldly, "Get out of the way."
I guess they saw something at that time. What did she mean by this? Did she think he would beat people after he went in?
Chen Ting has always disdained to explain anything to insignificant people, but when he saw the people around Shen Wangshu, he still said one more sentence for the first time: "I don't do anything."
He had said before that he would go back to his room to sleep in the future, and Shen Wangshu promised it himself.
Also, why didn't she tell him anything when she returned home tomorrow? Was it because she didn't trust me that she had no intention of letting me accompany her back home?
The more Chen Ting thought about it, the more upset he became.
He stepped past Taohong and pushed the door open quietly. The candles in the room had been extinguished - he had done something so outrageous tonight that she fell asleep without waiting for him.
After they got married, she had always slept in the room, and Chen Ting didn't mind at all. But when he saw the little ball curled up in the corner, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
So Chen Ting carried the person to the middle of the bed, closer to himself.
Shen Wangshu was a light sleeper. When he was moved while sleeping, he was immediately awakened from his dream. When he opened his eyes, he met a pair of dark and shining eyes. He was stunned for a long time before he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Husband, you are back."
Chen Ting looked at the sleepy and soft little beauty, his heart was completely calm, he hummed and said softly: "I'm sorry for tonight."
Shen Wangshu was so sleepy that he was dazed. When he heard this, he widened his eyes in surprise: "What did you say?"
If you say it again, she won't be sleepy anymore.
"I'm sorry, I got angry at you and hurt you tonight." Chen Ting said it again frankly. Seeing the red marks on her neck, he felt even more guilty.
He just saw a survey result and treated her like that without asking her a single question.
It's normal for her to be angry with herself, and it's normal for him to apologize. It's nothing.
Shen Wangshu sat up, not even noticing when her underwear was rubbed loose and fell off her shoulders. She could clearly see the guilt and regret in the man's eyes, and snorted, "If you don't explain clearly, I won't forgive you."
Do you think she is so easy to please? All we need to do is say sorry? Did she get pinched for nothing tonight?
She should at least know what is wrong with this man.
There were sounds of night watchmen shouting outside. It was already the middle of the night, but neither of them felt sleepy.
Chen Ting lowered his eyes slightly, pulled up the girl's clothes, and asked, "I found out something... Regardless of anything else, are you willing to tell me your true identity?"
It's been a week since we got married, and I just remembered to investigate her identity now.
Shen Wangshu had never thought of hiding it. The old lady probably knew it from the beginning. She didn't say anything because she didn't mind. She answered truthfully, "My original surname was Shen, the Shen from Yongning Marquis' Mansion."
