Chapter 93 Slamming the Door
The voice that suddenly sounded from above his head was chilling, as if the person lying on the ground was not his wife, but a commodity that had lost its value.
Qin Shuyu looked at Xie Yuchuan's back as he slammed the door and walked out.
At that moment, she felt hopeless, and all the filters she had for her husband were shattered.
Before, she still missed the childhood love between her and Xie Yuchuan, and recalled the days when they were innocent. She was always unwilling to admit that Xie Yuchuan had never loved her, and always had fantasies about him.
But when the slap landed on her face, it was truly merciless.
"The Qin family is waiting for this marriage with the Marquis' Mansion. So, this is what you think..." Qin Shuyu laughed sarcastically.
The muscles on my face were pulled by the place where I was hit, and it hurts so much. But why is the pain on my face not even one tenth of that in my heart?
"lady!"
The maid Su Zhu didn't come back to her senses until Xie Yuchuan left. She was so scared that she hurried to help Qin Shuyu who was lying on the ground: "How are you? Are you okay?"
"You shouldn't have contradicted the Marquis just now. It would have been better if you just went along with him. So many things happened today, and the Marquis was angry. Now, what should we do now?"
"The Marquis was so angry that he even hit you. I have never seen him so angry in all the years I have been in the mansion."
"Madam..." Su Zhu's voice choked up as she spoke.
Qin Shuyu's body was weak and she had no strength at all. Fortunately, the maid was strong and half dragged and half pulled her to sit on the soft chair.
Qin Shuyu was silent for a long time before she raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her face.
She looked at her face reflected in the mirror, which was marked with red palm prints.
After several years in the mansion, those eyes were no longer as lively as before. It seemed as if they were covered with an impenetrable layer, and they looked very dull.
Qin Shuyu moved his lips, not knowing whether he was talking to Su Zhu or to himself in the mirror: "I have endured for so many years for Xie Yuchuan, but it turns out that I was just moved by myself."
"During the years when he was away on the battlefield making achievements, I was the one building connections for the Marquis' Mansion."
"He finally returned to Beijing, and while he was busy pampering Miss Shen, I was the one who visited my mother-in-law every morning and evening, and I was the one who showed filial piety to Xie Yuchuan."
"I value the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion more than anything else, but what does Xie Yuchuan think of me? Am I so unbearable in his eyes?"
"The couple loves each other and their music and music are harmonious."
"Mother, am I wrong, or have you never taught me that a man's love is so short-lived and illusory? I don't even know how much truth there was in my past with him..."
"That's all."
"I should have seen it clearly earlier."
Qin Shuyu closed her eyes. She was always calm and dignified, and never changed her expression in the face of difficulties. But at this moment, it seemed that all the strength to pretend was drained away, and she looked particularly sad.
Maybe Miss Shen is right.
Even if I don't want the child, even if I have to pay any price, I have to leave the Marquis' Mansion, isn't that right...
Qin Shuyu didn’t understand Shen Wei’s actions before, but now, she seems to understand a little.
What love, affection, and favor? It's so ridiculous!
-
And this side.
After Xie Yuchuan vented his anger at Qin Shuyu, he still hadn't let out any anger.
With a gloomy face, he came to Shen Wei's residence angrily.
He strode into the yard and was about to push the door open, but his hand on the door handle suddenly stopped, because through the crack in the door, he saw Shen Wei sitting at the desk.
The woman in green gauze held a brush in her hand, lowered her head, and her profile seemed to be covered with a layer of light, very dazzling. She was writing something with great concentration.
Her eyes were focused, determined, and serious. She only had the things in her hands, not him anymore...
The two of them were clearly less than a few meters apart, but inexplicably, Xie Yuchuan felt strange and frightened, as if he could not see through Shen Wei.
"My Lord, you are here?"
"Why are you standing outside?" Xiaoman's voice came.
Xie Yuchuan came back to his senses and walked in.
But Shen Wei seemed not to hear the noise and still did not look up at her.
Xie Yuchuan's face was already unhappy, and he spoke up to break the atmosphere: "What are you writing? So many things happened today, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Without even raising his eyelids, Shen Wei asked, "Are you here to accuse me of something?"
Xie Yuchuan had already walked to Shen Wei's side. After seeing Shen Wei's cold expression, the anger that he had suppressed originally surged up again.
But he knew that Shen Wei was not the submissive Aunt Man, nor was she Qin Shuyu who would obey him.
He could only swallow his anger and said in a low voice: "Weiwei, you have made enough trouble. My patience is limited.
"Can we please stop arguing and talk nicely?"
"Ever since you came into the mansion, every time you made a mistake, I was the one who covered for you and protected you. What on earth are you throwing a tantrum about? What's the problem?"
"Just pretend I was wrong and I'll apologize to you, okay?"
Seeing Shen Wei didn't speak.
Xie Yuchuan walked a little closer and continued, "Just like today, the script you changed made the Marquis' Mansion lose face, but I didn't bother with you."
"And about the incident in the back garden, Aunt Zhao took the blame for you, and I pretended not to know, because I have you in my heart, and I can't bear to see you suffer. Don't you understand my heart?"
"Do you want to be in a cold war with me for the rest of your life?"
"Weiwei..." When Xie Yuchuan was moved, he wanted to hold Shen Wei's hand.
But I never expected it!
Shen Wei suddenly took a step back and shook his hand away.
The movement was quick and neat, like a radioactive reaction, and Xie Yuchuan was stunned on the spot.
"Are you done? Now that you're done, can you leave?" Shen Wei looked at the man in front of him coldly.
