The Eldest Daughter-in-Law [Reborn] - Chapter 59

This time, Xie Yunchu insisted on giving it to him. “Some of these people are your colleagues in the officialdom. I have no idea of their identities or status. If you don’t know, what if I’m rude when I return the gift in the future?”

In the previous life, all these interpersonal relationships were handled by Xie Yunchu. She listed everything clearly in detail and was familiar with all the officialdom and social customs of Wang Shuhuai. She was truly a virtuous wife.

In this life, why?

People should not take on too much responsibility easily. Over time, the other party would take it for granted. If one day they quit, they would be blamed. That was Wang Shuhuai’s first big birthday after marriage, so she had to “set rules” for him.

Wang Shuhuai felt that what Xie Yunchu said made sense. He put the child on the bed, took the account book, memorized ten lines at a glance, and finally handed it back to Xie Yunchu. But when Xie Yunchu turned around, he suddenly remembered something and called her, “Wait, there is another object that wasn’t written there as well.”

Xie Yunchu immediately put the book on the long table, sat down, and asked him, “Whose is it, and what is it?”

Wang Shuhuai stroked Sister Ke’s hair, “It was a puzzle ball that my mother, father, third brother, and fourth brother chipped in to buy…”

Xie Yunchu paused for a moment, her throat seemed to be glued shut. “Puzzle ball?”

Wang Shuhuai supported the child’s back and looked over. “Yes, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing…” Xie Yunchu suppressed her shock and tried to keep her tone steady. “What kind of thing is it? How should I record it?”

“Just write seven layers of ivory concentric spheres.”

“OK…”

She felt so complicated that she didn’t know what to say.

Sometimes she felt unwilling to see the thing fall into Wang Shuhuai’s hands, and sometimes she found it funny.

After writing, Xie Yunchu casually asked, “Second Young Master, what does this thing look like? Can you bring it over so I can take a look?”

She wanted to find an excuse to erase the word “chu” from it.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shuhuai looked at his daughter who liked to roam around and shook his head. “If you like, go to the study and see it there; don’t bring it here.” It would be troublesome if the child held it and accidentally bumped her hands or feet, or broke it.

Since the first plan didn’t work, Xie Yunchu could only think of another one. It was getting late, so she went to the bathroom first.

She washed slowly, her slender and plump arms were like solidified fat, stirring up waves of water that slowly poured down her cheeks.

The sound of splashing water reached the east room and struck people’s hearts in the silent night. Mama Lin stood by and observed Wang Shuhuai. Which man could stand such a noise? But the husband had a cold and calm expression without a trace of worldly air. Mama Lin was already thinking about whether she should prepare some tonic soup next time.

Mama Lin wanted to take the child, but Sister Ke pestered Wang Shuhuai, so Wang Shuhuai had to carry her to the east wing himself.

When he came back, Xie Yunchu had changed into a long gown of xiangyun gauze (silk) and was sitting gracefully on the Luohan bed, while Chunqi was standing beside her and helping her dry her hair. Wang Shuhuai glanced at Xie Yunchu, and seeing that she didn’t look at him, he simply went to the bathroom.

By the time Wang Shuhuai came out of the shower, Xie Yunchu’s hair was almost dry, and she was sitting at the dressing table combing her hair.

Her jet-black hair spread on her back and neck, the lights cast a glow all over her body, and the light and sexy hem of her dress fluttered faintly.

In contrast, Wang Shuhuai was dressed meticulously. 

He glanced at his wife; her black hair cascaded down, making her pretty face look as white as snow, while the beauty mole on her eyebrow was slightly upturned, accentuating her charming and seductive allure.

In the past, Wang Shuhuai would have felt that his wife was not stable enough, but now, the more gorgeous her dress was, the more it showed that she had no ulterior motives, which indirectly confirmed what Master Li said.

He went straight to the bed.

Xie Yunchu saw Wang Shuhuai’s figure in the bronze mirror, combed her hair, and turned around to blow out the lamp.

Wang Shuhuai was still lying on the inside, watching Xie Yunchu slowly lower the curtains and slowly move onto the bed.

Since she was doing fine, he was doing fine too.

Wang Shuhuai’s movements were faster than his retreating movements. Before Xie Yunchu lay down, he had already grabbed her in the middle with his long arms. She was caught off guard and bumped into him. Her chest rubbed lightly against his arms, and her beautiful hair slid behind her, revealing her stunning face.

He untied the loose ties with his hands, stared down at her with his eyes, and was not in a hurry.

He hadn’t looked at her like that before.

The fabric of Xiangyunsha (silk, literally perfumed cloud clothing) was very smooth, and Xie Yunchu quickly pulled it up to cover herself up. Wang Shuhuai’s wide sleeves hung on both sides of her, revealing a hint of a smile, “You dared to wear it outside, and now you feel embarrassed?”

While he said that, his eyes were on her face.

He was always a gentleman, restrained and well-behaved.

Xie Yunchu understood that Wang Shuhuai was settling scores after the event. The silver moonlight poured in, making his cold white face look as handsome as an immortal.

She raised her head and looked at him. “Second Young Master, please don’t set rules for me. I feel really uncomfortable with that bundle of silk. Besides, is it my fault?”

The woman’s slender neck swayed in front of him like a seductive fox.

His Adam’s apple rolled. “Forget it.” He could see that she wouldn’t comply even if he didn’t allow her to.

At that moment, he suddenly didn’t want to be a gentleman anymore.

His big hand reached in; Xie Yunchu’s arms trembled slightly as her clothes were half untied. He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was beating fast.

This guy used to be very reserved, but he was acting strangely today.

A banished immortal was no more than this.

Wang Shuhuai had no idea that his wife was criticizing him, so he just asked slowly, “If you don’t want me to set rules for you, then you can’t set rules for me either.”

Xie Yunchu paused slightly, and as he moved, her voice trembled a little. “What rules did I set for you?”

Wang Shuhuai stared at her deeply, his sleeve sliding across her face. Xie Yunchu tilted her cheek, feeling a slight itch, and was filled by that man without any preparation.

This time was easier than the last.
