Chapter 16 Promise
Time soon arrived and it was the day before the appointment to go to the martial arts gym.
After Shen Wei's long-term cold and violent treatment, Xie Yuchuan finally gave in step by step. In order to seek Shen Wei's forgiveness, he even gave in and agreed to let Shen Wei go to the martial arts gym to practice without regard for the face of the Marquis' Mansion.
In addition, Shen Wei will be given one thousand taels of silver as compensation.
When this news reached Qin Shuyu and Aunt Zhao, their expressions changed to varying degrees.
"Such a good opportunity, then...Miss Shen really didn't ask the Marquis to divorce and marry her as his legal wife. She just asked to go to the martial arts hall to strengthen her body?"
"But...why?"
"She is just a woman, why would she go to a martial arts gym?"
"How can a husband like a vulgar and violent woman? Is she crazy?" Aunt Zhao asked suddenly.
The maid curled her lips sarcastically, not understanding Shen Wei's behavior at all.
This was an unexpected result.
It can be said that all the servants in the mansion were shocked.
The servants who were talking about Shen Wei going too far and using this incident to demand the title of wife or concubine were all silent.
Qin Shuyu, who had talked to Shen Wei last time, has been feeling lost and absent-minded from time to time since returning to the hospital.
She didn't know whether she should believe what Shen Wei said. Whenever she thought of the wrong things Shen Wei had done in the past, she would prejudicedly believe that Shen Wei was making up stories and deceiving her.
until,
just now.
Only then did she suddenly realize and believe that Shen Wei really didn't care about his status anymore.
It turned out that Shen Wei really disdained Xie Yuchuan's favor.
"Is that home so good...so good that she would go back there regardless of reputation and cost?" Qin Shuyu said with emotion suddenly, holding the account book of the Marquis' Mansion in her hand.
Aunt Zhao, who was sitting opposite, opened her mouth.
He hesitated for a while before answering, "Madam."
"Do you really believe what Shen Wei said that day?"
"Is there really a place like that in this world where women can live freely, see the mountains and the sea, and even do business or study, and be together with the one they love for the rest of their lives?"
Have it?
It's really unimaginable.
Qin Shuyu lowered his eyes and shook his head: "I don't know, I hope so."
"She was able to endure all the criticism and stares from everyone and resolutely pursue her business and martial arts career. She even traded her unborn child for Xie Yuchuan. After all, it was worth it, right?"
But is it really worth it?
Qin Shuyu didn't know and couldn't understand.
Because it touched upon her blind spot.
She didn't understand what kind of home could make Shen Wei give up her current wealthy and comfortable life where she had everything she wanted, a husband who loved her and she had children to rely on.
I have to go to the mortal world and take a chance.
"Madam, the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion has handed you a visiting card." Su Zhu hurried over with a card.
The eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion?
She is the rich lady that Lin’s fiancé is with.
Qin Shuyu was worried that the young lady of the Xiangfu would have her reputation ruined, so she asked her maid to deliver the note to the Xiangfu, hoping that the young lady would recognize the true face of the man and not be deceived.
But I didn’t expect that the other party would come to visit me?
"Welcome her in quickly." Qin Shuyu ordered immediately, and then signaled Aunt Zhao to leave the main courtyard with his eyes.
The legitimate daughter of the prime minister is not someone a concubine is qualified to meet.
If a concubine was arranged to be present without the knowledge of the young lady of the prime minister's mansion, even if the other party did not turn hostile on the spot, he would still have a lot of dissatisfaction with Qin Shuyu in his heart.
After a while.
The young lady of the prime minister's mansion appeared in a light blue rippled brocade gauze skirt, looking radiant and with her hair full of pearls and jade.
Led by her maid Suzhu, Miss Lu walked gracefully into the main courtyard.
"Miss Lu." Qin Shuyu showed a perfect smile, and handled the reception in an orderly manner: "I wonder if you came to the Marquis' Mansion to look for me on purpose, what's the matter?"
Faced with Qin Shuyu's politeness and goodwill.
Miss Lu did not return the courtesy in kind. She stood in the middle of the courtyard, staring at Qin Shuyu with an unfriendly gaze, and then laughed: "Did you ask someone to give me that piece of paper?"
Qin Shuyu had already guessed that the other party came because of this matter, so he nodded in acknowledgement.
But I never expected——
next second.
Qin Shuyu was met with a barrage of accusations.
"Oh! It really is you."
"What on earth are you thinking?"
When Miss Lu heard the answer she wanted, her face immediately turned cold: "That gentleman is a talented and elegant gentleman, kind and polite, and he saved me once when the carriage was frightened."
"After that, he never took the initiative to contact me again. His every move was very measured and he never crossed the line."
"Such a good man was slandered by you as the villain in the letter."
Speaking of it.
Miss Lu took out the piece of letter paper with words written on it from her waist.
Because she was so angry and felt so indignant for the young man, she tore it to pieces in front of Qin Shuyu.
Then, he slammed his hand on the stone table and said to Qin Shuyu unceremoniously: "I have personally asked the young master about the whole story, and he clearly did not do such a thing."
"It's clear that Lin Yun'er is shameless and seduces a man outside of her family."
"I think she went to the temple to burn for another purpose. Otherwise, how could she be seen naked by a stranger? Why would she commit suicide by hitting her head against the wall? It's nothing more than that her true feelings were touched and she was too ashamed to bear it!"
"Mrs. Hou."
"The nobles in the capital all say that you are the most virtuous woman. You have such a shameless cousin, and you are instigating me to misunderstand that kind-hearted young man behind my back. I don't think you are much better!"
Qin Shuyu had never heard such ugly insults.
Her fingertips felt cold and she wanted to find some words to refute, to tell Miss Lu that she was not lying and that the words of that young man could not be taken seriously.
She told Miss Lu the truth with good intentions, but in the end someone rushed to her door, pointed at her nose and called her a bad person!
And her cousin Lin Yuner......
He did nothing wrong, yet he lost his life.
He was also labeled as shameless by the high-ranking officials and aristocratic families in the capital!
"He has never done anything to destroy his fiancée's innocence? If he says so, do you believe it?"
what sound?
Qin Shuyu raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
I immediately smelled a milky aroma and bumped into Shen Wei who was standing in the sunlight.
Shen Wei was wearing a plain dress, with her black hair casually tied up with a hairpin, doing whatever she felt comfortable with.
Anyway, she had acted 'loosely' before.
Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion knew that she did not follow the rules. She would not force herself to wear ten kilograms of hairpins and jewelry just to exchange for a word of being polite and understanding the rules.
Shen Wei was holding a freshly baked cake in her hand. This was the result of her recent research and experiments at home day and night. After countless failures and wrong tastes, she finally completed the product.
"Who are you?" Miss Lu frowned and looked at Shen Wei's clothes and jewelry.
