Chapter 33 Changed
"You don't like women who are out in the spotlight. She hides behind the curtains every day to watch and eavesdrop."
"You like big, glorious sons who bring honor to the family. She risked her life to have one baby after another."
"In order to avoid being disliked by you and to be accepted, she finally gave up her ego and became the person you and your mother liked. She became gentle, humble, and self-abased."
"But you, don't you hate her?"
This sentence!
This last sentence!
The question made Shopkeeper Wu stunned on the spot.
The question startled the woman who was eavesdropping behind the door curtain. She subconsciously raised her hand and placed it on the protruding belly.
Boom boom boom........
I didn't know if it was the fetus' heartbeat that was so deafening, or if it was my own dead heart that revived and began beating violently.
The woman didn't know. Her mind was blank. The only thing left was Shen Wei's words that were tinged with sarcasm and rhetorical questions. They were so straightforward and so heart-wrenching that they completely shattered all her cognition.
Yes.
She has given so much, doesn't her husband despise her?
No, disgusting!
She's not stupid, she can feel it.
She could see the disdain for herself in Shopkeeper Wu's eyes, and she knew even more clearly that Shopkeeper Wu had kept a mistress outside without telling her. If her baby was not a boy, he would definitely be brought into the family.
"you--"
"You, you are talking nonsense!"
"This, this, how can it be the same......" Shopkeeper Wu was terrified and felt that his three views were shattered at this moment.
He wanted to overturn the truth of Shen Wei's words.
I wanted to say something else, but couldn't find a way out.
Shen Wei packed up her things and left with Xiao Man. Before leaving, she glanced at the curtain at the side door: "Why is it different? A fresh vegetable."
"When you peel it open, you'll see it's all dirty dirt inside."
“The same goes for human hearts.”
Shen Wei left.
The woman was afraid of being noticed by Shen Wei, so she pressed her body against the wall.
She was breathing rapidly and it took her a while to calm down.
She quietly opened the door a little to look at the woman who had walked away. An indescribable emotion arose in her heart. She blinked and found tears all over her face.
The suffering, pain, frustration, repression, and ridicule of these years...
All the grievances burst out in an instant.
She covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud: "Wuwuwuwu..."
"I, I don't want to give up martial arts training...but everyone tells me that I should give up. Only in this way can I get the love of my husband and the acceptance and love of my mother-in-law..."
"I did it all. I did it all."
"But I don't understand. I don't understand why my husband would go out to look for a daughter. Is it because I gave birth to a daughter instead of a son?"
"what should I do?"
"Am I wrong? Am I not good enough and not motivated enough? Woo woo..."
Not only the woman's cognition was impacted.
Even the male apprentices were at a loss for words to refute for a moment.
They wanted to refute Shen Wei and say that it was not the case.
I want to say that it’s because women are not good enough, not virtuous enough, and not considerate enough...but is it really not?
Ask yourself, is it really not?
Shen Wei walked around the group of male apprentices without changing his expression and took Xiaoman out of the martial arts gym.
"Miss, it's the Marquis." Xiao Man looked at the carriage parked not far away and immediately showed joy. She pulled Shen Wei's sleeve and said, "It must be that the Marquis feels sorry for you and has come to take you back to the mansion."
Shen Wei looked up.
Sure enough, I saw the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion.
Xie Yuchuan sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, his mind filled with Shen Wei's stubborn look, who was shaking with pain but still refused to give up.
He thought he must be crazy!
Why did he become soft-hearted again and was willing to allow Shen Wei to continue practicing martial arts?
"Wow."
Someone sat down next to him.
Xie Yuchuan didn't even need to open his eyes. He knew who the person was just by smelling the fragrance: "Weiwei, don't you have anything to tell me recently?"
Shen Wei took one look at his gloomy expression.
I know what Xie Yuchuan is thinking and what he is struggling with.
She smiled softly, "Yes."
Xie Yuchuan opened his eyes and looked at her.
"I want to go out with Aunt Zhao tomorrow morning to the temple to worship Buddha and burn incense, and pray for the two unborn children."
"Look at this Marquis' Mansion. Ever since you killed... no, you accidentally caused the miscarriage of the first child, the second one has happened to you too. For the sake of the Marquis's offspring, I have to do something."
That's the thing again.
Every time I sit down to talk with Shen Wei, the first thing he talks about is his dead child.
Every time Xie Yuchuan listened to this, he felt flustered.
His eyebrows twitched several times, then he took a deep breath and frowned, "Weiwei, can you please stop talking about this? I know you feel bad about it, but it really makes me uncomfortable."
"Don't you realize that you are avoiding me now?"
"I promised you martial arts lessons and that I would let you run your business yourself, but what about you?"
"You leave the house early in the morning and don't come back until the evening. It's hard for me to even see you or talk to you. What's wrong with you recently?"
Xie Yuchuan stared closely at Shen Wei's beautiful and lively face.
He saw,
The smile on this face suddenly froze.
then.
The other party restrained all his smiles and looked at him calmly and strangely: "Xie Yuchuan, don't you like me like this?"
"I won't make trouble with you anymore, I won't quarrel with you anymore, I won't cry for the position of the first wife anymore, I won't force you to divorce Qin Shuyu anymore, I won't force you to stay pure for me anymore, don't you like it?"
These words made Xie Yuchuan stunned on the spot.
The behavior of Shen Wei before him was the change he had dreamed of seeing for a whole year.
But now Shen Wei has really become like this.
She no longer pressed him for a position.
But he...felt even more aggrieved and uncomfortable than before.
There was no way to express this kind of pain in words. Xie Yuchuan didn't even know how to blame Shen Wei, because the Shen Wei now was the one he had once screamed for with such a broken heart!
"It's not that I don't like you like this."
Xie Yuchuan said patiently: "But you always make me feel alienated when you are like this."
The Shen Wei today is as bright and dazzling as she was at the border, but it feels like she is no longer the same person she was at the border.
Because in Xie Yuchuan's impression, Weiwei would not look at him with such a strange and emotionless gaze!
Shen Wei heard it.
He immediately pinched his thigh.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
She cried just right, and Xie Yuchuan's face changed: "Xie Yuchuan, no, it's not me who wants to be estranged from you...it's you who said before that I have changed and become a shrew."
