The Eldest Daughter-in-Law [Reborn] - Chapter 45

Wang Shuhuai suddenly realized that his wife was truly incredibly beautiful.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Xie Yunchu was choked. She dodged backward in an unexpected manner. The night wind pushed the thin Xiangyun gauze tightly against Xie Yunchu’s body, revealing her exquisite curves. Wang Shuhuai’s lips suddenly straightened.

She went out without tightening her chest area? 

He didn’t know whether he was unhappy that his wife was being seen by others or that she went against his wishes, or both.

Thinking about what Xie Yunchu had just said, a crack finally appeared in Wang Shuhuai’s perfect expression.

Why would she think of divorce?

How could she say those words?

Wang Shuhuai thought that he had never treated her harshly. She was the one who made the decisions in the backyard, and he gave her the key to the storehouse and trusted her in everything. He was now working hard outside, determined to make a career and earn a good future for them and their daughter. What was there for her to be dissatisfied with?

A hint of sneer lingered on the corner of his lips again.

Wang Shuhuai’s face darkened, thinking ‘You don’t know what’s good for you.’

Wang Shuhuai really wanted to twist her up and ask her what reason she had to say those two words. He looked at his wife again. After Xie Yunchu was blown down by the wind, she simply leaned against the soft couch and continued to sleep in a different position. She was really heartless.

Wang Shuhuai pressed his eyebrows and closed his eyes.

The carriage slowly stopped at the side door of the palace. When Xie Yunchu’s back gently hit the wall of the carriage, she subconsciously opened her eyes and looked up to meet Wang Shuhuai’s half-smile. 

Xie Yunchu rubbed her eyes in confusion.

Was she right?

Wang Shuhuai could still smile?

No, it seemed like a sneer.

When Xie Yunchu sat up, Wang Shuhuai’s expression was completely gone, and he said as usual, “We’re home now. Madam, please get ready before you come out.” Then he got out of the carriage and went back to the study without looking back.

Xie Yunchu could only think that it was an illusion. She had slept enough and was conscious. She asked Xia An to help her get dressed, and then the master and servant got out of the carriage and went straight to Chunjing Hall.

When she arrived at the door, she saw Mama Lin smiling and complimenting her, “Congratulations, young lady. Congratulations, young lady.”

Xie Yunchu glanced at her lazily, then stepped into the courtyard with her skirt lifted up. “What’s there to congratulate? It’s not like I got promoted or made a fortune.”

Mama Lin said, “Young lady, you are talking nonsense. If the son-in-law gets fame, doesn’t that mean you get fame?”

Xie Yunchu was too lazy to argue with her and asked, “Has the Madam and Master returned home?”

“No, I just inquired. They went to Changchun, and I don’t know when they will be back. They told everyone in the mansion not to wait.”

Xie Yunchu yawned and smelled the drunken scent on her body. “Then I’ll take a shower and go to bed.”

Mama Lin glanced towards the study, then tiptoed over and whispered to her, “My dear, didn’t the son-in-law come over last night? Today is the day, why don’t you go and invite him?”

Xie Yunchu was exhausted after a day of running around, and she really had no intention of having xoxo. “It’s okay if he misses it, it’s no big deal.”

In her previous life, although Wang Shuhuai had set a date with her, there were times when he missed it. He was always focused on court affairs and had no thoughts about other things.

After Xie Yunchu walked into the room holding the door frame, Mama Lin sighed. If she missed that day, she would have to wait another half a month. She really didn’t know what these two masters were thinking. When she got married, she wanted to have xoxo every night in the first few years; once a night was considered too little.

People as pure-hearted and ascetic as the son-in-law were probably very rare.

Mama Lin looked at Xie Yunchu’s back. The girl was so beautiful and had a good figure. There was no reason for the son-in-law not to like her. Mama Lin was almost getting gray with worry. Once they have a son, she swore that she would never worry about these things again and let the son-in-law cultivate himself.

Xie Yunchu was supported by Chunqi and slowly sat in the bathtub. Chunqi squatted behind her to scoop water for her and whispered in her ear, “Miss, today is the son-in-law’s birthday. You sold the gift. What do you plan to give as a birthday gift?”

Xie Yunchu brushed her wet hair and glanced at her. “In the two years since we got married, has he ever given me a decent gift?”

“Did he ever have a meal with me on my birthday?”

Chunqi recalled the past, and her eyes immediately became sore. “That’s right, I was the one who said too much and thought too much.”

She was not thinking wrongly. She had been with Xie Yunchu for so long that she was used to her master caring about and tolerating others.

Chunqi thought for a while and slapped herself.

Xie Yunchu smiled, “Okay, I can’t blame you. I should blame myself for realizing it too late.”

In the study, after Wang Shuhuai came back, he took a shower, changed his clothes, and sat down at the desk.

Ming Gui was on duty that night. When he came back from cleaning the bathroom, he looked a little strange.

Wang Shuhuai was in a hurry to write a letter and asked him to grind ink.

Ming Gui couldn’t help muttering as he ground the ink, “Second Young Master, do you feel that the Second Young Madam is different lately?”

When Wang Shuhuai heard that, his eyes flickered slightly, but he did not raise his head and asked calmly, “What’s the difference?”

Ming Gui said worriedly, “In the past, when you were at home, the young mistress would always come to bring you soup in person. Not only that, she would also grind ink for you. She was really a caring lady…”

Wang Shuhuai raised his eyes sharply, which frightened Ming Gui so much that his neck shrank. Ming Gui was thick-skinned and relied on his background to not be afraid of Wang Shuhuai. He said with a stiff face, “Besides, I feel that the young mistress hasn’t made clothes for you for a long time.”

In the past, two rounds of clothes were delivered every month, but there had been no movement in the past two months, which led to him discovering that his master had not worn new clothes for a long time when he was tidying up Wang Shuhuai’s wardrobe just now.
