"As my master's wife and concubine, I should know what to say and what not to say. If you say something wrong at home and you are not punished a little, and if you go out and talk like this, it will be bad if you offend others." Wang Xilu's heart was slightly stung by the contempt in his words and expression, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.

"She didn't say anything offensive. She just said that you haven't been able to get out yet and are so tired that they can't have children. What she said is not really wrong!"

Although she had known that he would defend her shortcomings, she did not expect that he would be so disregardful of her face as the matron of the house, so that he would not hide his behavior of doting on his concubines and destroying his wives. She took a deep breath, and although her face was ugly, she still tried to reason with him calmly, "She shouldn't have said that kind of words, not to mention that as my legitimate wife, how can I, a little concubine of hers, be able to discuss it at will?"

She always argued with him like this. A merchant girl is a merchant girl. She didn't even know what it meant to put her husband first. Thinking of the ridicule and joking of many colleagues in the court, Chu Jingnan's heart burned even more fiercely, and he asked aggressively: "Is what she said wrong?"

Isn't it true that she has been married for a year and still has no money?

"Our Chu family is a well-behaved family. According to the Chu family's family rules, the concubines can only be allowed to flourish after the first wife has not been married for five years."

"So, are you determined to make them wait for five years?"

"Don't you think it should be done?"

Her understatement of asking made him angry. He hated her most unshakable indifference. Although she was reasonable in everything, she never gave in. How could there be a woman like her? Shouldn't women be as gentle as water?

Chu Jingnan wanted to tear apart her cold face that seemed to be wearing a mask, and said almost without hesitation: "Of course you shouldn't. As my legitimate wife, why on earth did you let me wait for you for five years? If you can't give birth, how can you stop others from doing things for me? Do you know that I can divorce you at any time?"

If her grandfather hadn't supported her, why did she think she could show off her power in front of him now?

Chapter 1(2)

His question was like a sharp arrow piercing Wang Xilu's heart. The severe pain instantly spread to her limbs and bones, taking away the remaining warmth in her heart. Her already pale face seemed to be a little whiter. She quietly put her hands behind her waist and pinched them tightly, because this was the only way to prevent him from seeing the trembling of her hands.

In front of him, she never wanted to show weakness, let alone be reduced to the same situation as her mother. But just now, for a moment, she seemed to see her mother lying on the bed pale and helpless. She felt that she had no one to complain about her grievances, so she could only cry in the dark night, and even worse, she was afraid of being heard even if she cried.

What's the point of days like this?

This question suddenly popped into Wang Xilu's mind and couldn't go away. Then she fell silent.

Looking at the man in front of her, she began to feel strange, maybe she had never been familiar with him before.

From the day she knew she was going to be married to him, she had made serious preparations, hoping to be a good wife and run the family for him in the future. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into Chu's house, she was greeted by her mother-in-law's displeasure and his contempt.

Yes, this marriage was arranged by her, but she didn't ask for it. How could she have any say in her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words?

So this year, she has been cautious and cautious, hoping that they can see her intentions and avoid prejudice against her. Unfortunately, everything she has done cannot be worth her background.

Just because of her background, even those concubines could make her look bad, and if she tried to discipline his Yingying Yanyan, she would be notorious for being jealous.

After doing so much, she just doesn’t want to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Is this wrong?

Regardless of whether she was wrong or not, she was really tired...

Wang Xilu suddenly raised his head, looked at his handsome face seriously, and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing her, a strange feeling ran through his heart. Chu Jingnan frowned and was about to speak to break the silence. Unexpectedly, she retracted her gaze, lowered her straight shoulders, lowered her head to hide her pale face, and said in a low voice - "I understand your instructions. Don't worry, I will send someone to Yixiangyuan to tell my good aunt later, so that she does not need to be grounded."

From the day she walked in, she was so proud and energetic. Even if she argued with herself, she never gave up and always stuck to her own principles. But why did she look like a defeated rooster today, so decadent and listless?

Seeing her weak look, the anger in Chu Jingnan's heart suddenly disappeared. He opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but they were so accustomed to the tension between them that he couldn't say a single gentle word to her. In the end, he still had nothing to say.

In the past, even if she offended him, Wang Xilu would not have done such a thing, but at that moment, when she realized that no matter how hard she tried, she could not escape the same fate as her mother, she gave up.

Since this man can't see her efforts, everything doesn't matter... "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this." Wang Xilu promised, and as if she was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, she immediately turned and walked to the door, reaching out to summon a second-class maid who was waiting outside, and asked her to go to Yixiangyuan to tell her good aunt.

After explaining, she felt a splitting headache and didn't want to turn around to face him again. However, this giant Buddha refused to leave after seeking justice for others, and insisted on occupying her small temple. She looked up at the sky, exhaled a long breath, but her feet seemed to have taken root, and she refused to enter the house no matter what.

Chu Jingnan looked at her outside the door, and these two words suddenly flashed in his mind.

As a general, he was very familiar with such a scene, but it was the first time he felt this way about a woman. Somehow, he who had always cared nothing about her actually had the slightest idea of ​​wanting to understand her.

So he stood up suddenly and walked slowly towards the door. All the anger emanating from his body was restrained. At this time, he looked like a gentle scribe, without any lethality.

I don't know if the confrontation with him just now was too nerve-wracking, but after Wang Xilu stood outside the door for a while, he felt very tired. Before he noticed his breath approaching, his slender body suddenly swayed.

Chu Jingnan quickly stretched out his hand to support her, and then he realized that her body was actually cold."Are you okay?" he asked gruffly, obviously not used to taking the initiative to care about her.

She raised her head and glanced at him, but did not answer his question. Instead, she said to herself: "I have just asked someone to lift the ban on my good aunt. In addition, I will also ask people to stop all the soups and medicines for my concubines."

Since what they want is not what they expect, then let them live whatever they want. As long as they don't care, they can see anything.Produced by Youyou "Let's talk about these things next time. You go in first, sit down and have a rest. I'll send someone to call the doctor right now."

He had long been accustomed to his aunts and wives talking to each other whenever they felt unwell, so there was no one like her who was as silent as she was.

Wang Xilu was a little flattered by his reaction, but it was a pity that it was too late. She was not too moved by his rare concern."No need to bother, I'm just a little tired. Just take a rest later." She forced a smile and urged: "Husband, please go to my good aunt's yard. She must be frightened by me today, right?"

Is she pretending to be generous to make up for today's loss?Or do you really want him to comfort you?

Narrowing his sharp eyes, Chu Jingnan looked at her carefully. He had always been able to see through people's hearts, but this time he was hit by a brick wall. He couldn't see her sincerity at all.

"We should stay here tonight." He said lightly, and he, who had always kept a distance from her, even put his arm around her shoulders, intending to take her into the house to rest.

Today is the fifteenth day, which should not be the day for him to go to his aunt's room. She always respects the rules, how could she forget?He frowned slightly and looked at her who was pale but smiling. He always felt that something was different about her, as if she suddenly didn't care about anything. What made him even more incredible was that he would be a little uneasy because of her indifference.
