If you succeed, you will be free.
If you fail, it means your life.
Aunt Zhao sat there in a daze. She thought of the ridicule and cold stares that Chen Wei had endured along the way, and the contempt and disdain in Qin Shuyu's eyes for Chen Wei...
Even I couldn't understand Chen Wei's actions at first...
Can you bear the consequences?
Suddenly,
The scene of the bandits being attacked came into his mind. The image of Miss Lu trembling and begging for mercy collided with the scene of Chen Wei holding a bow and arrow to change his fate. In the end, the scene froze on Shen Wei's confident face.
"Valley."
"I want to change the way I live."
Aunt Zhao raised her head, looked at Chen Wei with a determined gaze, and said, "Before, I had already died on the bed in the delivery room. Now, I also want to try my best to gamble."
"I know you're worried that I can't handle the rumors. I know that rumors can kill people. I know that sarcasm is very painful and can even kill people."
"I also know that if I want the Marquis to agree to let me go to the cake shop, I will have to pay a huge price."
"The Marquis can make an exception for you, but he may not make an exception for me. In his heart, I am just a dispensable concubine."
"But I want to try, Weiwei. You said that we should try it no matter whether it works or not. I think there is no pain in this world that can be worse than the pain I felt on the day of giving birth, really."
"Take me with you, Veil."
Aunt Zhao looked at Chen Wei with expectation, gritted her teeth, tears in her eyes, as if she was looking at the only life-saving straw appearing in the abyss.
Xiaoman standing by pursed her lips, her face filled with emotion.
She decided too!
Next time I go to the martial arts gym, I will train with the girl, and practice archery and swordplay together.
She thought, what the girl was going to do was so dangerous and so unique, if she learned it in the future, maybe she could even protect the girl...
"Let me think about it." Chen Wei's face was a little solemn: "I have to think about what to do. This road is not easy to walk. Xie Yuchuan agreed to this because he felt guilty about losing my child."
"If you really want to, can you accept being divorced?"
"You really have to think it over. Once you take this path, there's no turning back. I don't want you to just follow me because you see me doing it. I want you to really want to. Don't be like Aunt Zhao."
"I'm not sure myself, really."
"I'm really not sure. I've even prepared myself for the possibility of failure. Perhaps one day, if I do something the Marquis' Mansion can't accept, I'll be drowned in a pond or beaten to death."
"I've thought about it. I can accept it!" Aunt Zhao nodded firmly.
She just wanted to live for herself.
Just take a break.
Let the reputation be ruined!
Just beat her to death, she has had enough of this kind of life!
"Okay..." Chen Wei looked at Aunt Zhao's affirmative eyes, pursed his lips and nodded: "I will find a way. Since you want to learn to read and do accounting, then come to my boudoir tonight and I will teach you."
"Girl!! I want to learn to read too. Xiaoman also wants to learn to read."
"Okay, I'll teach you too."
-
The time soon came for Chen Wei to return home.
There are only seven days left before the Marquis's birthday banquet, and the mansion has already started to prepare for the decoration of lanterns and decorations. The maids and servants are becoming more and more cautious, for fear of doing anything out of the ordinary.
Main courtyard.
Qin Shuyu sat upright at the desk, looking through the matters that needed to be prepared for the birthday party.
She needs to personally review the menu, seating arrangements, troupe, and other processes.
"Madam, this is the birthday play submitted by the opera troupe in the mansion. It has been this play in the past. Please take a look." The maid Su Zhu handed the play script to Qin Shuyu and said respectfully.
In order to save face, wealthy families would keep a troupe of opera actors.
During ordinary festivals and banquets, you can listen to music and watch a play.
The Marquis's family was well-established, and they had a number of them in their residence. Now that the Marquis's wife was celebrating her fiftieth birthday, it was natural for them to show off.
"Is it still 'Wen Wan Lan Ning' this year?" Qin Shuyu glanced at the script, quickly read the plot, and then nodded: "Okay, it's pretty standard."
"It not only celebrates filial piety but also reflects the importance of women's virtues, and the ending is also perfect."
"You can't go wrong choosing this for the birthday banquet. The ladies in the backyard will also love to watch it. Let's choose it."
"Yes, ma'am." Su Zhu picked up the script and prepared to leave: "Then I will take it back to the troupe."
It was at this time.
Chen Wei, who had just returned home, walked into the main courtyard holding a wooden box.
Behind him, there was Aunt Zhao who came to pay her respects.
When Su Zhu saw the rude Chen Wei enter the room, she rolled her eyes in disdain, her eyes full of contempt. But when her eyes fell on Aunt Zhao, she was stunned.
Is it an illusion?
Why does Suzhu feel that there is something different about Aunt Zhao at this moment?
The frown that had been furrowed for years relaxed, the smile on his face became more genuine, and he seemed to have more energy and vitality. His previously timid eyes became more confident.
what happened? ? ?
Is this still the Aunt Zhao I remember?
"Greetings, Madam." Aunt Zhao bowed respectfully.
Qin Shuyu looked at Aunt Zhao's dust-free eyes, and her expression was briefly confused and surprised. She stared at Aunt Zhao for a long time before muttering, "Get up."
"Did you go well in praying at Linghuang Temple?"
Chen Wei took over and smiled slightly: "It went very smoothly."
"Miss Qin, my cake shop is ready and will be open soon. I'd like to ask you for another favor. I'd like to insert an advertisement at Madam Hou's birthday banquet."
advertise?
What is this?
Qin Shuyu frowned and looked at Chen Wei in confusion: "What is advertising?"
"It's just publicity. I know you're worried about affecting the reputation of the Marquisate, so I came prepared. This is a letter of guarantee. I promise that it will not affect the progress of the birthday banquet or the reputation of the Marquisate."
"Including the commercials I inserted, they need to be reviewed by Ms. Qin herself. Only if you say it's okay will it be approved."
"Here is a thank you gift for Miss Qin."
Chen Wei first took out a handwritten letter of guarantee from his waist and spread it in front of Qin Shuyu.
Then he put down the wooden box in his hand, smiled friendly at Qin Shuyu, and waited for Qin Shuyu's reply.
Qin Shuyu lowered his eyes and took a look.
I found that the font on the guarantee letter has improved again.
From the initial sloppy writing, to the subsequent small achievements, to now having formed his own writing style.
The woman in front of me who was clamoring to be with her forever is really different now...
Even Aunt Zhao, who had been out of the house with Chen Wei for three days, seemed to be different after returning home...
