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

Chapter 7 She is not his slave

Shen Xiuwan felt aggrieved and couldn't help but look at Fu Jincheng.

The other party was reading the newspaper, indifferent to the jokes of the second brother and second sister-in-law. His cold side face was completely different from the lingering and domineering one on the bed last night.

She endured all kinds of emotions, stood up and said, "Mom, I'm full, I'm going back to my room first."

"Sit down." Mrs. Fu ordered, then scolded Xue Qinzhen, "Qinzhen, she is thin-skinned, what do you always say about her?"

Xue Qinzhen smiled and served Mrs. Fu dishes: "Mom said, I was just joking. I want Xiuwan to give you a fat grandson as soon as possible."

Mrs. Fu turned to Shen Xiuwan again and admonished: "You too, your second sister-in-law was just joking with you, and you made a fuss out of a molehill. What's so important that you are so upset? You have to leave before the elders leave the table." , do you still have any rules?"

Shen Xiuwan lowered her head and quietly clenched her hands on the table.

She didn't dare to disobey, so she could only say: "Mom taught me a lesson."

Mrs. Fu said: "Don't blame me for being nagging. It's not easy for you to marry far away, so our family has never treated you as an outsider. Your second sister-in-law and the others are joking with you for your own good and to make you feel less lonely. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that we look down on you. I know that you read a lot of books before you came out of the cabinet, but some of them are not good books. If you read them, you will only make the girl sensitive, suspicious, aloof and aloof. Look. You misunderstood your second sister-in-law just because you read such a book."

Xue Qinzhen played with the handkerchief, pursed her lips and smiled: "Isn't it? Who of us serious girls here would read those things? In my opinion, Xiuwan, why don't you throw away those books and play cards with us in the future? Go to the cinema and have coffee.”

Shen Xiuwan lowered her head even further.

Those books were left to her by her grandfather.

She has been reading since she was able to read. Her grandfather was afraid that she would not be able to recognize the complicated words in the book, so he specially marked the profound and difficult words in the blank spaces of the pages with annotations.

She regarded those books as her dowry and brought them all the way from Suzhou. At night when Jincheng was away, she would turn on the lamp in her room and read over and over again with the books. Every time she saw her grandfather's handwritten annotations, she couldn't help but think of the man who loved her. A bone-deep old man.

She was homesick.

The tip of her nose was sore and her eyes were gradually turning red.

Xue Qinzhen smiled at everyone and said: "Look, just say a few words to her and she starts crying. We don't have such a petty person here. Besides, tomorrow is my mother's fiftieth birthday. You are crying so early in the morning. You don't know. I thought we teamed up to bully you!"

When Mrs. Fu mentioned her birthday, her brows furrowed and her face became increasingly ugly.

It wasn't until Fu Jincheng was leaving for duty at the military and political yamen that Shen Xiuwan finally got away from the dinner table.

Outside the gate of Fu's mansion, Fu Jincheng got straight into the car.

Shen Xiuwan stood by the car window, with a little anticipation hidden in her moist red almond eyes, and asked cautiously: "Jincheng, you...are you coming back to rest tonight?"

"Do you like being slept with by me?"

Shen Xiuwan was stunned, her cheeks burning. Adjutant Fang, who was holding the steering wheel, coughed lightly and smoothed things over: "Third Young Madam, tomorrow is my wife's fiftieth birthday. The Third Master will definitely come back to rest tonight. But today the Third Master has to discuss the construction of the railway with someone, I'm afraid it will I'll be back later. It's hard to talk to my pick-up person, so please be considerate of me."

Shen Xiuwan had heard a little bit about the construction of the railway.

The foreigners wanted to build a railway to the northwest and demanded that the ownership and management rights be given to them, and a large dividend be given to the government every year. However, Jincheng refused. He strongly insisted that the Chinese should build the railway themselves and control the ownership and management rights.

For this reason, the railway has not been started yet.

Many people in the yamen were eager to put the railway into operation and seek profits, and wished that Jincheng would immediately agree to all the other party's requests, but Jincheng was under pressure and refused to let go until now.

Shen Xiuwan admires Fu Jincheng not only because of his talent and learning, but also because of his courage.

Thinking that Jincheng was going to do something big, Shen Xiuwan suddenly lost all temper.

She said softly: "Then I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a separate table of dishes. I remember that you like to eat lamb chops and crab roe soup dumplings, so I prepared them for you. Last time when Fifth Sister held a birthday party at Sanyuan Restaurant, You praised the red wine braised beef and white wine there as delicious, so I called them and asked them to send some over."

The girl is full of love.

Fu Jincheng ignored her and ordered: "Drive."

Adjutant Fang had no choice but to start the car.

Fu Jincheng looked through the rearview mirror. The girl who was left alone on the roadside was wearing an apricot pink cheongsam. She had experienced the love last night. She looked like the cluster of pink apricot flowers that had just bloomed on the branch, but her face was a little dull. She was stunned, as if she couldn't figure out why he suddenly left her impatiently.

Of course she didn't understand.

A traditional feudal woman like her only knows how to care for her husband, teach her children, and honor her parents-in-law. She revolves around her husband all day long, thinking only about giving birth to a child for her husband. She lives like an empty skin, as if she has lost everything. own soul.

Fu Jincheng doesn't like such a woman.

He upholds humanism and advocates that people should have their own value and dignity.

He hoped that his wife would have her own life and preferences, and that after he returned home, she could have spiritual communication with him and discuss the Renaissance and all progressive, civilized, and interesting things.

instead of...

Keep those dishes and drinks on your lips.

They should have an equal relationship.

She is his wife, not his slave.
