Chapter 5 Invisibility
As soon as these words fell.
Qin Shuyu's expression froze for a second.
Some memories flashed through my mind.
The man in the groom's suit lifted the red veil, looked at the bride lovingly and said, "The whole capital knows that I married a gentle and intellectual wife. Ayu, you are finally mine."
"What I like most is your shy and polite appearance."
His favorite
Aren’t you adhering to the rules and following the three obediences and four virtues?
How come he changed after returning from the expedition?
Qin Shuyu blinked in a trance, suppressed the sour feeling in his heart, lowered his eyes and smiled sarcastically, but at the same time, a kind of envy that shouldn't have arisen in his heart arose.
Even when they were in love, the Marquis had never been so tolerant of her...
"Aunt, Miss Shen is getting ready to leave the house."
"Swish!" Aunt Zhao quickly stood up, holding her waist, and said to Qin Shuyu, "Madam, that bitch was trying to sow discord between me and the Marquis, and I finally caught her."
"Hurry, help me stop her." Aunt Zhao held her belly and hurried out of the hospital.
At the same time, Shen Wei put down the brush and took a look at the paper full of words.
She spent a few days understanding the rules of this era and learning the traditional Chinese characters, which were not too difficult since they were not much different from modern characters.
She is getting stronger step by step.
Step by step, getting closer to home.
Shen Wei took the three hundred taels of silver given by Xie Yuchuan and left the house with his maid Xiaoman.
"Yo yo yo~"
"Isn't this Miss Shen who is clamoring to be the mistress?"
As soon as Aunt Zhao knew that Shen Wei was going out, she came here to block his way.
She was eight months pregnant, and she was proudly touching her belly, shaking it in front of Shen Wei again and again: "What? I heard that you returned the power of the family?"
"Some people just can't recognize reality."
"I always fantasize about something I don't deserve, saying that underwear will definitely sell like hot cakes and make the Marquis's family earn a month's worth of money in one day. What happened?"
"In the end you got scolded badly, hahaha. If it weren't for the madam's kindness and stepping out to clean up your mess, you would have been arrested and taken to the government to be beaten!"
Shen Wei looked at Aunt Zhao calmly without saying anything.
There was no anger or irritation in his eyes.
There is only inexplicable compassion and empathy...
She felt sorry for herself and also sympathized with every woman here who was imprisoned in her self-consciousness.
She simply glanced at Aunt Zhao's belly and asked abruptly, "You want a son, have you ever thought about giving birth to a daughter?"
These words pierced Aunt Zhao's heart.
She was just afraid of having a daughter.
So when she became pregnant not long ago, she asked someone to look for a recipe for having a child. She heard that as long as she followed the prescription, she would definitely have a son.
Aunt Zhao has been drinking it for three months with this expectation.
I just hope to have a son to support me.
Aunt Zhao's face turned pale: "What nonsense are you talking about! I specially consulted a doctor, and I am definitely pregnant with a boy! I think you are just jealous of me."
"I know you're useless. You haven't been able to get pregnant for almost a year, but I got pregnant in one try."
"So you wish I would have a miscarriage and give birth to a daughter."
Shen Wei: "......"
"Whatever you think."
Shen Wei retracted his gaze and replied nonchalantly, "Giving birth is very dangerous. People with narrow hips have a relatively harder time giving birth. Your hips are narrow and your belly is big. Remember to find a reliable midwife to deliver your baby."
"Walk more and don't eat anything."
This sudden kindness... yes, it is a good intention, right?
Aunt Zhao was completely stunned by what she heard.
She swallowed the sarcastic words that were about to come out of her mouth and stared at Shen Wei in disbelief. It was strange. He was the same person from a few days ago, so why did he feel a little different?
Are you crazy?
Otherwise, why would he be kind to me?
There must be a scam!
She won't believe it!
Aunt Zhao moved her mouth and uttered, "What do you care? You'd better take care of yourself. Be careful not to be disliked by the Marquis and not even get the title of a concubine."
"Being disliked is only a matter of time." Shen Wei laughed back, turned around and walked around Aunt Zhao and left the house.
Aunt Zhao was stunned and subconsciously grabbed Shen Wei's hand.
What did she hear?
I actually heard such terrible words from Shen Wei’s mouth?
Hasn't Shen Wei always been very arrogant and conceited, believing that the Marquis will only love her for his entire life?
"Why are you so mad today? Did you get hurt?"
Wow.
Shen Wei subconsciously avoided Aunt Zhao's hand.
This avoidance caused Aunt Zhao to lose her balance and she screamed and fell to the ground.
Shen Wei was startled. She was pregnant and couldn't stand a fall. She bent over and tried to pull Aunt Zhao up, but she seemed to realize something and paused, looking behind her immediately...
"Shen Wei!!!"
Xie Yuchuan's horrified voice coincided with Shen Wei's movement of turning back.
The visual effect from the direction he was standing was that Shen Wei pushed Aunt Zhao away, causing Aunt Zhao, who was more than eight months pregnant, to fall.
Shen Wei thought of the clichéd plot in the original book: "........"
"Hiss...My stomach hurts so much..." Aunt Zhao shouted in pain.
Xie Yuchuan rushed over and pushed Shen Wei away, causing Shen Wei to stagger.
"What's wrong? Where did you fall? Go get a doctor." Xie Yuchuan ordered the maid with a cold face, and looked at Shen Wei with disappointment and annoyance.
"How long are you going to make this fuss about?"
"Mrs. Zhao is pregnant and will give birth soon. Are you unwilling to let go of even one child?"
"I know it was wrong for me to have drunkenly visited Aunt Zhao, and you have always felt a thorn in your heart, but it has already happened, and I have apologized to you, what else do you want?"
"No matter what, it's still a life. Is it necessary to be so narrow-minded and cruel? Can't you learn from Qin Shuyu's tolerance and generosity?"
"You are really... really unreasonable!"
Aunt Zhao's forehead was sweating from the pain. She grabbed Xie Yuchuan's hand and subconsciously opened her mouth to say something.
But when she thought about how Shen Wei had been targeting her for some time, she shut her mouth.
I thought,
It's good to let the Marquis misunderstand.
Who made her so ignorant of her own limitations and want to monopolize the Marquis's favor?
She even instigated the Marquis to divorce his dignified and kind lady. She deserved it.
Until Xie Yuchuan picked up Aunt Zhao and left in a worried look, and the maid glared at Shen Wei provocatively and complacently, Shen Wei did not cry or protest. She was very calm, as calm as an outsider.
"girl!"
Xiaoman was so anxious: "Why don't you explain? It's obviously not you who pushed it."
"Will he believe it if I explain it to him?" Shen Wei.
"But, but...but the Marquis has misunderstood you. Soon, everyone in the mansion will know that you are jealous and don't want Aunt Zhao to give birth to the child."
"What can I do? You must be feeling very upset, young lady. How could the Marquis do this?"
This was the first time Xiaoman worried about herself.
In the past, she looked down on herself, and even when the relationship was the worst, she would still be secretly happy.
When did the prejudice change?
Shen Wei smiled kindly at Xiao Man, with no emotion in his eyes, only calmness and sarcasm: "I'm not upset, this is not the first time he doesn't believe me."
"Last time, the time before, the time before, no matter how much I cried and protested, he never believed me."
"Now, I just want him to have a taste of what it feels like to be wronged."
Xiaoman was stunned for a second after hearing this, and quickly chased after her and asked, "Miss Shen, you, you...you are not trying to take revenge on Aunt Zhao, are you?"
"Why revenge on her?"
Xiaoman thought to herself, "Didn't you say you wanted her to feel the pain of being wronged? She caused you to be wronged and ruined your reputation, so you must pay her back, right?"
Shen Wei paused slightly and turned her head to look at Xiaoman, who had a serious look on her face.
Xiaoman really thinks so.
She believed that all the humiliation Shen Wei suffered was caused by Aunt Zhao alone, and that Aunt Zhao was the culprit, so she should take revenge on Aunt Zhao alone.
The words that Shen Wei was about to say suddenly stopped.
This feeling of suffocation and depression in her heart was really uncomfortable. She felt powerless and hateful. In the end, she could only reply calmly: "Xiao Man, it wasn't her fault that I was harmed."
"It's the invisible man hiding behind you."
