Marrying a powerful man: The third master is wild and untamable

Chapter 12 He doesn’t understand Shen Xiuwan at all
  Facing her husband's reproach, Shen Xiuwan lowered her head and helplessly hugged the brocade box in her arms.

She had been married for three years, and except for that night when she went to Bai Mansion to invite him home for the night, she had never asked him to do anything for her.

His indifference was like an invisible wall, forever excluding her from his world. Although he was her husband, they never had anything to talk about. For example, during dinner yesterday, she tried to find a common topic. But he asked him not to speak.

She was already as light as dust in his heart.

She didn't want to trouble him with this kind of thing anymore, making him feel that she was a useless person.

Seeing her silence, Fu Jincheng frowned.

He couldn't understand this woman at all. Every time he spoke a little harder, she would lower her head and pretend to be pitiful and helpless. She didn't dare to say anything to him, like a spineless person who only wanted to obey. slave, but he never really bullied her.

He suppressed his emotions and sent congratulatory gifts in silence.

It is a rosewood book screen inlaid with a piece of golden mica crystal. The jade craftsman used the natural texture of the mica to carve it into a pattern of pine and crane, which is rich and elegant.

Fu Yinhong commented: "Rosewood shelves are common, but this piece of mica stone is rare. It's hard for my third brother to bother to ask someone to make such a book screen. I'm a little jealous."

"The eldest young master is jealous of everything he looks at. It can be seen that he likes to be jealous."

Cen Qingru smiled and suddenly said something faintly.

The dancer who died before was named Yan Hong.

Fu Yinhong understood the hidden edge in her words and choked up. Thinking that the Cen family were all present, she restrained herself from replying.

Xue Qinzhen couldn't wait to cheer: "Xiuwan, what are you waiting for? Come out with your birthday gift and let us open our eyes!"

A strange feeling welled up in Shen Xiuwan's heart.

The birthday gift Jincheng prepared was a book screen, and so did she!
  There are such coincidences in the world!
  It is said in ancient poems that "there is a connection between the hearts", and she and Jincheng actually have a connection between their hearts!

It can be seen that this marriage is not without fate.

Shen Xiuwan gained the power of love and took out the embroidery frame from the brocade box: "The birthday gift I gave to my mother is a crane picture embroidered by myself. It is not as valuable as my brother and sister-in-law. Please don't dislike it."

Xue Qinzhen's face showed an expression of wanting to laugh but trying to restrain herself, and she said crisply: "I originally said that Xilou's gift is not valuable, but Xiuwan, why do you imitate him? On such an important day, You want to submit a piece of embroidery, that’s unreasonable! Where can you put such a cheap thing? It can’t be in the toilet, right?”

Shen Xiuwan knew that Xue Qinzhen looked down on her.

But she didn't expect that this person would comment in front of hundreds of guests that the birthday gift she gave was too cheap and should be placed in the toilet...

Her face was as red as blood and her ears were ringing.

The golden light reflected from the splendid hall of Fu Mansion stung her eyes. As a girl from the countryside, standing in such a luxurious place, it seemed that she could not even see the people around her clearly.

Just when she was ashamed, a light and gentle voice suddenly sounded: "I see, this double-sided embroidered book screen given by the third lady is very good."

The speaker was Bai Yuanjing.

Everyone looked at the embroidery, and it turned out to be double-sided embroidery.

Xue Qinzhen immediately said: "The printing, weaving and dyeing technology is so mature now, what kind of patterns do we need? The machines in the factory can print countless beautiful patterns in one day. Isn't it easier and more convenient than embroidery? I think even double-sided embroidery, It’s not as rare as it used to be.”

Bai Yuanjing said: "On the contrary, the more mature the industry is, the more it highlights the luxury and warmth of handicrafts. An embroidery like the one presented by the third lady is already a work of art worth collecting. It must have taken more than ten years of skill." Only an embroiderer can embroider. Third Madam——"

He looked at Shen Xiuwan and said with admiration: "It's really remarkable that the third lady has such accomplishments at such a young age."

Shen Xiuwan did not expect that this young master Bai, who had studied abroad for many years, would actually recognize domestic products.

She said gratefully: "I only learned a little bit from my mother, and Master Bai was too praised."                     Her voice had the flavor of Wu Nong's soft language, like the streams in the Jiangnan water town.

Bai Yuanjing studied medicine in the south of the Yangtze River when he was a child. Hearing her voice at this moment was kind of friendly, so he smiled back and pushed up his glasses gently.

Xue Qinzhen was slightly annoyed.

She pulled Xue Qishu over: "What's wrong with him? How can he help Shen Xiuwan speak?"

Xue Qishu curled his lips: "Bai Yuanjing has a weird temper, and you didn't know it until the first day."

After a pause, she added: "Sister, don't always fight against Shen Xiuwan for me. It's hard for others to help in the emotional battle between men and women. What's more, I didn't lose to her, I just lost to her The elders of the Fu family and that arranged marriage. Although Jincheng's heart does not belong to me, but you see, his heart does not belong to Shen Xiuwan either. Who will win in the future is still unknown."

Xue Qinzhen's eyes widened in surprise: "You still want to fight? But you're not with Bai——"

"He's just a shill I hired to show my face." Xue Qishu didn't take it seriously. "It just so happened that his family was urging me to get married, and he also wanted to use me as a shield."

Xue Qinzhen was speechless.

After a long while, she shook her head: "I really don't understand you young people. However, if you want to fight for Jincheng, I, as your sister, will help you no matter what. We, the women of the Xue family, have no reason to lose to Shen Xiuwan .”

The two sisters were talking, and Fu Yunzhu sat down next to Mrs. Fu with a smile.

She said: "The most rare thing is that the third brother gave me a book screen, and the third sister-in-law also gave me a book screen. The two people did not communicate, but they gave the same birthday gift, which shows that they have the same mind."

The two book screens are of the same size and have the same sandalwood lace borders. They really look like a pair.

The discerning guests among the guests began to compliment Fu Jincheng and Shen Xiuwan on their affection.

Although Shen Xiuwan knew that the actual situation was not what they said, she was still very happy and sweet. Even if it was fake, she was willing to play the role of a golden boy, a beautiful girl, and a beautiful girl in front of others.

She blushed, with a bit of shame and expectation, and subconsciously looked at Jincheng.

However, the other party did not meet her eyes.

"The relationship between the third master and the third young mistress is really good." Liu Manling suddenly stood up at an inappropriate time and hugged Shen Xiuwan's shoulders affectionately. "Two days ago, the third young mistress personally went to Bai Mansion to bring the third master home. That night Bai The mansion was very lively, and the third young lady even joked with me for a long time."

Shen Xiuwan stiffened.

She didn't expect Liu Manling to come too.

Were you invited by Jincheng?
  Although Jincheng has many girlfriends outside, he has never brought those women home. Why did he bring Liu Manling back at his mother's birthday party?
  She was panicking in her heart, and when she saw the diamond necklace Liu Manling wore around her neck, her face instantly turned pale.

That diamond necklace was very familiar to her!

She thought...

She thought this was Jincheng's birthday gift to her...

The hot sweetness in the girl's heart suddenly cooled down, her hands and feet were cold, and her heartbeat was pounding.

She looked at Jincheng in fear. He was staring at Liu Manling. The dark light reflected by the gold glasses obscured the emotions in his eyes.

Liu Manling let go of Shen Xiuwan and walked to Mrs. Fu with a smile, as if she were a daughter-in-law.

She announced her family background: "Madam, my name is Liu Manling, and I have a very good relationship with the third master and the third young mistress. This is my filial birthday gift to you. It is not a disrespectful thing, so please accept it with a smile."

She held out the brocade box.
