Chapter 49 Advertisement
If you succeed, you will be free.
If you fail, it means your life.
Aunt Zhao sat there in a daze. She thought of the ridicule and cold stares that Shen Wei had endured along the way, and the contempt and disdain in Qin Shuyu's eyes for Shen Wei...
Even I couldn't understand Shen Wei's actions at first...
Can you bear the consequences?
Suddenly,
The scene of the bandits being attacked popped into his mind. The image of Miss Lu trembling and begging for mercy collided with the scene of Shen Wei holding a bow and arrow to change his fate. In the end, the scene froze on Shen Wei's confident face.
"Valley."
"I want to change the way I live."
Aunt Zhao raised her head, looked at Shen Wei with a firm gaze, and said, "Before, I had already died on the bed in the delivery room. Now, I also want to try my best to gamble."
"I know you're afraid that I can't stand those rumors. I know that rumors can kill people. I know that those sarcasm and ridicule are very uncomfortable and can even kill people."
"I also know that if I want the Marquis to agree to let me go to the cake shop, I will have to pay a huge price."
"The Marquis can make an exception for you, but he may not make an exception for me. In his heart, I am just an insignificant concubine."
"But I want to try, Weiwei. You said that we should try it after all. I think there is no pain in this world that can be more painful than the day I gave birth, really."
"Take me with you, Veil."
Aunt Zhao looked at Shen Wei with expectation, her teeth clenched tightly, tears in her eyes, as if she was looking at the only life-saving straw appearing in the abyss.
Xiaoman, who was standing by, pursed her lips, her face full of emotion.
She decided too!
Next time I go to the martial arts gym, I will train my physical fitness with the girl, and practice archery and swordplay together.
She thought, what the girl was going to do was so dangerous and unique, if she learned it in the future, maybe she could protect the girl...
"Let me think about it." Shen Wei's face was a little solemn: "I have to think about what to do. This road is not easy to walk. Xie Yuchuan agreed to these because he felt guilty about losing my child."
"You...if you really want to, can you accept being divorced?"
"You really have to think it over. Once you take this path, there's no going back. I don't want you to just follow me because you see me taking this path. I want you to really want to do it. Don't be like Aunt Zhao."
"I'm not sure myself, really."
"I'm really not sure. I've even prepared myself for the possibility of failure. Maybe one day, if I do something that the Marquis' Mansion can't accept, I'll be drowned in a pond or beaten to death."
"I've thought about it. I can accept it!" Aunt Zhao nodded firmly.
She just wanted to live for herself.
Just take a break.
Let the reputation be ruined!
Just beat her to death, she has had enough of this kind of life!
"Okay..." Shen Wei looked at Aunt Zhao's affirmative eyes, pursed his lips and nodded: "I will find a way. Since you want to learn to read and do accounts, then come to my boudoir at night and I will teach you."
"Girl! I want to, too. Xiaoman also wants to learn to read."
"Okay, I'll teach you, too."

The time soon came for Shen Wei to return home.
There are still seven days left before the old marquis's birthday banquet, and the mansion has already started preparing to hang lanterns and decorations. The maids and servants are becoming more cautious and well-behaved, for fear of doing anything out of line.
main courtyard.
Qin Shuyu sat upright at the desk, looking through the things that needed to be prepared for the birthday party.
The menu, seating arrangement, troupe, and other processes all need to be reviewed by her personally.
"Madam, this is the birthday play handed over by the opera troupe in the mansion. This is the play that has been played in the past. Please take a look." The maid Su Zhu handed the script to Qin Shuyu and said respectfully.
In order to save face, wealthy families would keep a troupe of actors.
During ordinary festivals and banquets, you can listen to music and watch a play.
The Marquis's residence was prestigious, and they also kept a number of people in the residence. Now that the old lady of the Marquis's 50th birthday was approaching, it was natural that they had to show off.
"Is it still "Wen Wan Lan Ning" this year?" Qin Shuyu glanced at the book indifferently, quickly read the plot, and then nodded: "Okay, it's quite standard."
"It not only praises filial piety, but also reflects the importance of women's virtues, and the ending is also perfect."
"You can't go wrong by choosing it for the birthday banquet. The ladies in the backyard will also like to watch it. Let's choose it."
"Yes, Madam." Su Zhu picked up the script and prepared to leave: "Then I will take it back to the troupe."
It was at this time.
Shen Wei, who had just returned home, walked into the main courtyard holding a wooden box.
Behind him, there followed Aunt Zhao who came to pay her respects.
When Su Zhu saw the rude Shen Wei coming in, she rolled her eyes in disdain, her eyes full of contempt. But when her eyes fell on Aunt Zhao, she was stunned.
Is it an illusion?
Why does Suzhu feel that there has been any change in Aunt Zhao at this moment?
The frown that had been furrowed for years relaxed, the smile on his face became more genuine, and he seemed to have more energy and vitality. His previously timid eyes became more confident???
what happened? ? ?
Is this still the Aunt Zhao that I remember?
"Greetings, madam." Aunt Zhao bowed respectfully.
Qin Shuyu looked at Aunt Zhao's dust-free eyes, and her expression was briefly stunned and surprised. She stared at Aunt Zhao for a long time before muttering, "Get up."
"Did you go to Linghuang Temple to pray for blessings smoothly?"
Shen Wei took over the conversation and smiled slightly: "It went smoothly."
"Ms. Qin, my cake shop has been tidied up and is about to open. I would like to ask you to do me another favor. I want to insert an advertisement at Madam Hou's birthday banquet."
advertise?
What is this?
Qin Shuyu frowned and looked at Shen Wei in confusion: "What is advertising?"
"It's just publicity. I know you're worried about affecting the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, so I came prepared. This is a letter of guarantee. I promise that it will not affect the progress of the birthday banquet and the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion."
"Including the commercials I inserted, they need to be reviewed by Miss Qin herself. Only if you say it's OK will it be approved."
"Here is a thank you gift for Miss Qin."
Shen Wei first took out a handwritten letter of guarantee from his waist and spread it in front of Qin Shuyu.
Then he put down the wooden box in his hand, smiled friendly at Qin Shuyu, and waited for Qin Shuyu's reply.
Qin Shuyu lowered his eyes and took a look.
I found that the font on the guarantee letter has improved again.
From the sloppy writing at the beginning, to the small achievements later, to the current style of Shen Wei's writing.
The woman in front of me who was clamoring to be with him for the rest of his life is really different now...
Even Aunt Zhao, who had been out of the house with Shen Wei for three days, seemed to be different after returning home...
