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

Chapter 28 Pretending not to see their intimacy
  When Shen Xiuwan woke up, it was already dusk the next day.

She slept very uneasily during this sleep, and the faces of Aunt Chen and Yingbai always appeared in her mind, occasionally mixed with Jincheng's voice:
  ——I, Fu Jincheng, have never been moved by Shen Xiuwan. I do not recognize her as my first wife.

I've never had a crush on her...

Not recognizing her as his first wife...

She lay on the bed, physiological tears rolling down the corners of her eyes and falling on the pillow. After a long, long time, her amber eyes gradually focused.

She sat up on the bed, walked quietly to the window without wearing slippers.

She pushed open the window.

The evening wind brought with it a hint of winter's chill. The sycamore trees on the roadside had already fallen leaves. The sky in late autumn was as blue as frozen jade. Under the blue sky was the prosperous and civilized ancient city of Yanjing, a city inlaid with countless painted glass windows of the Virgin Mary. The steeple church stands at the end of the field of vision, and a large group of white doves flap their wings and fly across the square, free and brilliant.

She watched quietly, the tears on her face were gradually dried by the wind, and her disheveled hair was a little messy.

"Third Young Mistress, you are not in good health, how can you stand in the wind?"

Mei Xiang came in to deliver medicine and saw her standing barefoot in front of the window and couldn't help shouting.

She hurriedly put down the medicine bowl, helped Shen Xiuwan to the bed, and closed the window.

She tucked Shen Xiuwan into bed: "When did you wake up?"

Shen Xiuwan didn't answer her.

Mei Xiang expressed concern again: "I know you have just woken up and have no appetite, so I specially asked the kitchen to stew white porridge for you, with shredded bamboo shoots and pickled cucumbers, which is both relieving and appetizing! Come on, drink the medicine before eating."

After Shen Xiuwan finished drinking the bowl of medicine, when she saw Mei Xiang getting up to leave, she begged, "Mei Xiang, please do me a favor."

Mei Xiang took the airplane model from Jin Hu's house according to Shen Xiuwan's description.

Shen Xiuwan lit a fire and burned all the remaining embroidery works.

Aunt Chen liked her embroidery, and she burned these pieces of embroidery for Aunt Chen.

And this airplane model...

She stroked the white wings of the plane. Yingbo was only in college, he was still so young, but he could no longer win the prize in the mathematics competition, and he could no longer compete with his classmates to read the newspaper every day and check whether there were any pilots recruited. Notice that he can no longer be the pilot who is not afraid of death that he longs for.

She put the model airplane into the brazier.

As the flames engulfed the model, in a daze, she seemed to see Jin Yingbaek's passionate and energetic face in the flames, calling her Sister Wan gently.

Tears rolled down in big pieces.

Shen Xiuwan squatted by the brazier, hugged herself tightly, and cried until she was hoarse.

……

When Shen Xiuwan finally recovered her health, it was already the winter season.

The winter in Yanjing was extremely cold, and it was already snowing heavily in November. When Shen Xiuwan woke up in the morning, she found a layer of frost on the window glass. The garden of Fu Mansion had turned into a dull gray-green, but the pines and cypresses were still green. A thin layer of snow fell on the treetops, like wearing a white cotton hat.

She remembered that when she first got married, her mother once wrote a letter asking her if the winter in the north was colder than in the south.

Her mother was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it, so she sent her a new cotton quilt.

Naturally, that cotton quilt also became the reason for second sister-in-law Xue Qinzhen to laugh at her and her family——

Fu Mansion has installed a radiator, so there is no need for such a thick quilt.

What's more, the Fu family doesn't have anything, so why does her natal family need to go all the way to mail quilts?

When Shen Xiuwan went downstairs, she met Fifth Miss Yunzhu at the corner of the stairs.

Yunzhu greeted politely: "Is Third Sister's illness getting better? I heard from Mister Smith that you haven't been to his class during this time."

Shen Xiuwan nodded: "Thank you for your trouble. I have recovered. I have paid off Mr. Smith's class fees and will not go to class again."

Yunzhu remembered that night when Shen Xiuwan said a few words in English, but was laughed at by her second sister-in-law in public.

She advised: "If it's because of the second sister-in-law, it's not worth it." Shen Xiuwan just smiled weakly.

She didn't care that Xue Qinzhen laughed at her. What she cared about was that she spent half a year learning foreign languages ​​and excitedly wanted to show her husband the results of her studies, but he regarded her as an embarrassment.

She didn't have the energy to study anymore.

She came to the hall and greeted Mrs. Fu.

Mrs. Fu was talking to Cen Qingru on the sofa. The twins in the big room were sitting side by side by the fireplace reading a book. Shen Xiuwan glanced at the cover. They were reading English books. Although they were only eleven or twelve years old, the elder sister-in-law They are willing to put effort into cultivating them. I heard that they have already invited foreign professors to teach at the age of four or five. Now they can not only understand foreign languages, but also speak fluent oral English. They will be sent abroad to study in the future.

Shen Xiuwan remembered that when she was eleven or twelve years old, she had not even heard a word of foreign language. She only remembered the candied haws and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the market, and she shed tears over a pair of embroidered shoes that she could not afford.

She kindly said: "I have a few English dictionaries there, why don't I give them to Jiu'an and Yongning?"

Cen Qingru touched the head of the youngest daughter beside her and declined gently: "They have it themselves, so they won't bother their younger siblings."

Shen Xiuwan knew that her sister-in-law looked down on her things, so she smiled awkwardly.

Mrs. Fu helped her granddaughter take a puzzle piece from the toy box, raised her eyelids and glanced at Shen Xiuwan, and said, "Jincheng and the others are playing cards in the small hall. Come over and have a look."

Hearing this name again, Shen Xiuwan's heart trembled slightly.

She hadn't seen him for a long time and thought he hadn't come home.

She said "Hey", turned around and walked towards the small hall.

She actually didn't know how to face Jincheng. He had never told her about using her to seduce Aunt Chen's family. If possible, she wanted to have a good talk with him.

There were many people sitting in the small hall, and it was lively.

Jincheng, Bai Yuanjing, Xue Qinzhen and Xue Qishu gathered at a table to play mahjong.

Shen Xiuwan saw a young and fashionable lady sitting behind Jincheng. She was wearing a honey-yellow cheongsam, a smooth mink fur vest, two gold bracelets, and a Roman court-style perm. She had a foreign appearance and extraordinarily beautiful eyes. pretty.

Shen Xiuwan remembered that she was the daughter of the owner of Zhuhuang Pavilion.

That night at the Zhuhuang Pavilion, before she fainted, she saw Jincheng talking to her.

It turns out that while she was still brooding over the use and assassination that night, Jincheng had already opened a new chapter with another woman.

"Mrs. Shen."

Bai Yuanjing was the first to notice Shen Xiuwan.

"Doctor Bai."

Shen Xiuwan greeted politely.

But Jincheng stared at the cards in his hand without looking at her.

Seeing this posture, Shen Xiuwan knew that she probably couldn't discuss the Jin family's affairs with him today, so she said politely: "You guys are playing, I won't disturb you anymore."

"Miss Shen," Xue Qishu suddenly stood up, "I'm having a bad day today. I've been playing all morning, and I still haven't opened up yet. I can't play mahjong anymore, so I'll let you do it instead."

Shen Xiuwan wanted to refuse, but Xue Qishu had already sat behind Xue Qinzhen.

She had no choice but to sit down.

Fu Jincheng was playing mahjong and suddenly said to the fashionable lady behind him: "You come and play for me."

Si Xiaotang glanced at Shen Xiuwan and said with a smile, "Third Master, I don't know how to play mahjong."

"I teach you."

Fu Jincheng and Si Xiaotang changed places, put a hand on the back of her chair, and leaned forward slightly to read the cards for her. From Shen Xiuwan's perspective, he seemed to be protecting Si Xiaotang in his arms. .

Shen Xiuwan lowered her head to look at the cards, pretending not to notice their intimacy.
