Chapter 44 Weird Chen Ting
Since that night, the relationship between the couple can be said to have made rapid progress.
Chen Ting had never refused anything to Shen Wangshu, and now he was even more obedient, giving his wife whatever she wanted - but unfortunately, most of the time she had no material desires, and only expressed interest in medical books and medicinal materials.
So Chen Ting ordered people to search for medical books on the market, and occasionally invited famous doctors to visit his home for consultations.
It not only helps the lady check her body, but also satisfies her curiosity.
During the day, Chen Ting went to the military camp to guard the city, and Shen Wangshu studied medicinal materials at home by herself, doing experiments under simple conditions. She also wanted to extract penicillin. Although the process was a bit complicated, if successful, it would be a major historical event and could save countless lives.
In the evening, when he returned home, the two of them had dinner together, talked for a few words, and then went to bed together.
After getting to know Chen Ting, Shen Wangshu figured out some of his personality and habits - for example, although this man looked very cold, he actually had a very good temper and would not easily argue with others.
But when I was really angry, I kept it to myself. This was not a good thing. If it were someone else, they would guess until their death and probably would not know how I had offended the general.
However, Shen Wangshu had the ability to read minds, so he could easily know what he was thinking and what made him angry.
Then he would coax her with ease, and if he stroked her fur, it would only take a few words to coax her into submission.
Shen Wangshu originally wanted to sell soap, but when he thought about the lotus viewing banquet at Xiahou Mansion that day, Ji Mingyi and Prince Bao appeared together and seemed to have a close relationship, so he temporarily did not want to cooperate with him.
At least wait until Gu Ziliang leaves.
Shen Wangshu didn't know what would happen next with Gu Ziliang's incident. She was actually a little worried that Chen Ting's arrogance would lead to revenge from Prince Bao's mansion.
However, almost half a month had passed and there was still no movement over there, so she knew that Prince Bao would not easily make a fuss about this matter.
Chen Ting's status in the court was even higher than Shen Wangshu had imagined.
Prince Bao received his own son's severed finger, but he didn't even dare to fart.
In the blink of an eye, the two had been married for two months.
With Chen Ting's attitude, Shen Wangshu lived a comfortable life in the Rongguo Mansion. Seeing that the Qixi Festival was approaching, Shen Wangshu thought about embroidering a purse for him as a token of his appreciation.
This matter had to be done secretly behind Chen Tinglai's back. It would not be a surprise if it was discovered in advance. Besides, she was not good at craftsmanship and it was difficult for her to embroider complicated patterns on the satin.
After much thought, she decided to use white thread to embroider a picture of a laurel tree under the moon for Chen Ting.
Chen Ting seemed to have suddenly become busy these days. He used to enter the gate of Xuanji Courtyard on time before dark, but recently he has been leaving early and returning late. He left before Shen Wangshu woke up, and when the gong sounded at three o'clock in the night, he had not returned yet.
The two of them clearly lived under the same roof, but they hadn't met for several days.
Although this greatly facilitated Shen Wangshu's actions, he couldn't help but wonder - what on earth was he doing these days?
This went on until the night before the Qixi Festival. As usual, they waited until three o'clock in the morning, but the man showed no sign of coming back. Taohong advised, "Didn't the general say that we don't have to wait for him recently? Madam, you should go to bed early."
Good complexion is mainly maintained by sleep. I have seen my wife gain some weight during this period of time. She is no longer as frail as before and feels like she will fall down if the wind blows. If she continues like this for a few more days, she will be back to the state of being before liberation.
Shen Wangshu leaned against the head of the bed and yawned one after another, forcing his eyelids to stay open: "No, I have to wait for him tonight!"
Tomorrow is Chinese Valentine's Day, and she has to ask Chen Ting whether he can celebrate Valentine's Day.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Taohong had no choice but to leave a small lamp and go out to watch over it herself.
After working overtime these days, the purse of the laurel tree under the moon has been almost embroidered. Although it seems to have some minor flaws, overall, Shen Wangshu is still quite satisfied.
Look, she is worthy of her name, so clever and dexterous. Wutong only taught her for one day and she learned it.
Shen Wangshu put the purse into a jewelry box, and planned to find an opportunity to please Chen Ting tomorrow - to please his thigh appropriately, hoping that he would protect him more.
It was late at night, she waited and waited, her eyelids drooping with sleepiness, and finally someone tiptoed into the room.
Chen Ting was a little surprised to see that the lights were still on in the room. He walked over and saw that the young lady was sitting upright beside the couch, looking as if she was waiting to be questioned.
"Anian, why haven't you slept yet?" he asked.
Shen Wangshu looked up at the man. He came back shivering from cold air. He must have washed outside—with cold water.
There was still scarlet in his eyes, and his whole expression seemed extremely tense, especially when he found out that she was still awake, he looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and his drooping hand nails were slightly curled up.
"I'm waiting for you." Shen Wangshu stood up and knelt beside the couch, reaching out to the man standing motionless at the door: "Why don't you come in? I want to hug you."
The beauty's voice was soft, and the corners of her eyes were red (from staying up late). Chen Ting's heart softened and he strode in: "But you had a nightmare again?"
Shen Wangshu put his arms around his neck and could clearly feel the tense muscles - it was so late, and he came back with a damp face, as if he had just finished a fight... What on earth did he go to do?
She became more and more curious and buried her face in his strong and full chest, listening to his heart beating at an abnormally fast frequency.
He was not relaxed but rather nervous... or he was in a state of excitement that had not yet completely subsided.
The beauty said coquettishly in a muffled voice: "You haven't slept with me recently, I hate you."
Chen Ting felt nervous, but also a little helpless: "I will come back every night."
"But I didn't see you before I went to bed, nor did I see you after I woke up. You didn't even eat dinner with me." Shen Wangshu stretched out his finger and poked his big pectoral muscle in dissatisfaction: "What have you been doing recently?"
"Do you hate me? Are you tired of me and don't want to see me?"
She said this deliberately, and sure enough, she heard the man's anxious retort: "How could it be! Don't talk nonsense!"
"I think so."
Chen Ting picked her up, holding her like a child. She wrapped her legs around his waist and walked back and forth in the room, swaying like some kind of warm comfort.
"I've been busy recently." The man's voice sounded gentler and deeper in the darkness. "Don't let your imagination run wild. I hold you in my arms every night before I go to sleep, but you don't know."
"So busy..." Shen Wangshu deliberately dragged out his tone: "Then I'll have to find someone else to accompany me to the Qixi Lantern Festival tomorrow."
"My husband, please go and do your work. Nian Nian can do it by herself."
"It's just that I was hit on by a strange man. I only need my maid, no one else is needed."
