The Eldest Daughter-in-Law [Reborn] - Chapter 17

Xie Yunchu obviously intended to avoid him. Wang Shuhuai never made things difficult for his wife, but he tested her, “With the wet nurse and Mama Lin taking care of Sister Ke, Madam, there is no need for you to do everything yourself.”

Then, Wang Shuhuai moved to the inside and motioned to her, “If you are really worried, you can sleep on the outside.”

Xie Yunchu was in a dilemma. Wang Shuhuai looked as gentle and calm as ever, but Xie Yunchu could feel the pressure from the future Prime Minister.

He would never force anyone to do anything, and he would agree to almost anything she said. Could it be that his abnormal behavior was because he was in a hurry to have a child?

Xie Yunchu said coldly, “I don’t feel well today.” The implication was that they could not share the same room.

Wang Shuhuai’s eyes darkened. If he had only sensed it before, today he completely felt his wife’s rejection. His calm eyes rarely showed a hint of sneer.

“Really? You were also feeling unwell on the night of the 15th?”

Xie Yunchu felt a lump in her throat.

Xie Yunchu also realized that she could no longer fool people by using her body as an excuse.

The Wang Shuhuai in front of her had not experienced a past life, so no matter how much resentment she had, it was like a punch hitting cotton.

Wang Shuhuai realized that Xie Yunchu was trying to avoid him. Xie Yunchu also realized that Wang Shuhuai was testing her. Thinking of “the night of the fifteenth” he mentioned, some images flashed through Xie Yunchu’s mind.

Her small red mouth suddenly shrank, and grievance oozed from the corners of her eyes. Xie Yunchu replied in a hoarse voice with a stern face, “Since you are asking, I have to tell the truth.”

“Speak.” He looked gentle and ready to listen.

Xie Yunchu sat in the corner hugging her knees, lowering her eyes, and said, “My mother-in-law called me to the upper room early that morning and scolded me, blaming me for giving birth to a daughter and not bringing honor to her. If I don’t live up to her expectations in the future, she will simply choose two concubines to give birth to children for me. I was already in a bad condition after giving birth to Sister Ke… How could she be so anxious…”

Xie Yunchu’s voice became smaller and smaller, and waves of sourness surged into her eyes. Her shoulders trembled in pain, and she was so weak that she was like a helpless pupa.

It turned out that she was angry with his mother and took it out on him. Everything fit together and all the abnormalities were explained. Wang Shuhuai’s doubts were immediately dispelled.

His mother, Jiang, looked powerful but was actually confused. Having grown up in a wealthy family, she had been influenced by the family and thought she was smart, so she used some tricks to control her daughters-in-law.

The concubine of his third brother Wang Shukuang was his mother’s maid. Wang Shuhuai was not surprised at all when his mother said this.

His wife was sobbing, her clear almond-shaped eyes filled with tears, and she looked very similar to Sister Ke just now.

Wang Shuhuai did not coax his wife like he coaxed Sister Ke. He counseled, “She has no say in my affairs. You know the rules of the Wang family. She just nags a few times. Why should you be angry?”

Xie Yunchu’s grievances were like a flood that burst out of a dam, and she couldn’t hold them back. She choked up and said, “Second Young Master, will you never take a concubine in your life?”

It was the first time Wang Shuhuai saw his wife so aggrieved. He felt helpless and said, “I don’t have this plan.”

Xie Yunchu turned her head and chased him, “What if I can’t give birth to a son?”

Wang Shuhuai was stunned. The jade palace lantern was extinguished. There was only a faint glass lamp in the corner. The light in the bed was dim. The two people’s eyes met in mid-air.

Xie Yunchu bit her lip and stared at him straight in the face.

Silence spread.

Wang Shuhuai lowered his eyes slightly, feeling that Xie Yunchu was being unreasonable.

He never made promises without proof.

Xie Yunchu was just trying to deal with him. She already had the answer in her mind and didn’t expect Wang Shuhuai to come up with anything new. She turned sideways and prepared to go to sleep.

At that time, Wang Shuhuai suddenly spoke in the silence, “The future has never been seen, never heard, and cannot be predicted.”

The man had a handsome and gentle face, and his tone was calm and rational, without any emotion.

Xie Yunchu believed that Wang Shuhuai was telling the truth, but it was precisely this deep-rooted rationality that always drove him to make the choice that best suited his status as the eldest grandson of the Wang family. So after her death, he immediately chose a suitable woman to replace her to perform the duties of the clan wife, which was in line with Wang Shuhuai’s consistent temperament.

In the intertwined time and space, she finally got the answer.

She suddenly felt a sense of relief.

After a moment of silence, Xie Yunchu smiled calmly, “That’s right, let’s talk about the future later. It’s getting late, let’s go to bed.”

She leaned quietly on the pillow, feeling the tranquility after the tide had passed.

Wang Shuhuai looked at his docile wife and comforted her, “Don’t think too much, we are still young.”

Xie Yunchu closed her eyes and hummed softly, then changed her position and continued sleeping.

After the explanation was clear, Wang Shuhuai let the matter go.

The couple lay down side by side.

Wang Shuhuai thought that he would be going south in three months, so he stayed that night and had planned to have xoxo with Xie Yunchu. However, Xie Yunchu was obviously in a bad mood, so he did not take any action. Besides, in the past, when in this situation, it was Xie Yunchu who took the initiative to move towards him.

He was not used to taking the initiative.

This was the first time the couple lay quietly in bed since they got married.

Being too quiet would be awkward.

The sweet fragrance from his wife’s body drifted towards his nose. Wang Shuhuai closed his eyes quietly. Fortunately, he had been practicing Taoism and cultivating his character since he was a child, so he was more tolerant than ordinary people.
