My wife has a secret

Chapter 116 White Face
If Empress Gongsun were really asked to do some chores, I don't know how much trouble would arise.

Empress Gongsun, who had fallen into the status of a maid, was now more like a vase kept by Xu Qing's side to satisfy his male desire for conquest.

Empress Gongsun obviously knew this very well, so her outfit today was more revealing than usual.

With the education and upbringing she received in the first half of her life, she would not have worn such revealing, thin, light-colored clothing. Moreover, it was the first month of winter and she was very likely to catch a cold without an outer coat or cotton poncho to protect herself.

But Empress Gongsun has accepted her fate for the rest of her life and wants to please Xu Qing at all costs to prevent him from sending her back to the princess's mansion.

"Oh, how come your husband has such a charming and unique beauty hidden in his bedroom in the palace?"

Qin Shuying, who came from Wangyue Tower, could see what the woman in front of her was thinking at a glance.

After all, those nice and curvy body curves were too obvious in the clothes, and the chest in the front could even reflect the bright red lotus. Her intention to please men with her beauty was too obvious.

"Well, this is..."

Xu Qing wanted to fool people, but after thinking for a long time, he still didn't know how to explain the identity of Empress Gongsun.

With Qin Shuying's vision and experience, she naturally saw the clues at a glance.

She moved slightly and took a closer look at Empress Gongsun.

After holding up the other person's arm, rolling up the sleeves, and seeing the slender hands and arms without any wrinkles or calluses, Qin Shuying guessed that this woman was definitely not an ordinary palace maid.

"Look at this hand, so clean and beautiful... Husband, is she sent by the palace to sleep with you to entertain you?"

Empress Gongsun was stunned for a moment, and then she guessed the relationship between the two of them from the name called by the beautiful woman.

As an unknown woman with no status, she had a natural fear of the legitimate wives and concubines of the Xu family. After all, according to the rules of ordinary families, any maids and servants in the room had to be under the control of the mistress of the backyard.

Especially after seeing that this lady was more beautiful than herself, Empress Gongsun felt even more disappointed.

So she unknowingly had tears in her eyes and lowered her head, looking very pitiful.

On the other side, Xu Qing also realized that he could not lie to Qin Shuying, so he told the truth: "She is actually the eldest daughter of the Gongsun family, the wife of the deceased Emperor Xuan, and the current empress."

"Queen?"

Even though Qin Shuying thought of many possibilities, she did not expect that this beautiful palace maid had such a noble identity.

In her impression, the emperor and empress had a high status and would often ride in dragon and phoenix carriages during grand ceremonies to worship the heavens, leaving the city amid the admiration and worship of the people.

"It turns out to be the Queen's sister."

The playful smile in Qin Shuying's smart eyes was abandoned and replaced with a faint smile.

She had been somewhat teasing and jealous before, but after she understood the identity of Empress Gongsun, these thoughts faded away.

Even Emperor Xuan's legitimate empress was sent to her husband, and she was still trying to please a man... It seems that the Li Qi royal family is already in name only, and the dignified empress is treated no differently from the treatment after the country was destroyed.

The Xu family is so powerful that they no longer regard the Li Qi royal family as royal family.

Empress Gongsun was somewhat flattered by Qin Shuying's sudden change of attitude. After being helped up by her, she unconsciously pursed her lips and said thank you.

"I guess you encountered some bad things before?"

Qin Shuying helped Empress Gongsun to tuck her hair behind her ears and said slowly in a magnetic voice: "Although my husband may not look very reliable, he is a reliable man. From now on, you should stay in the side room and have a good rest."

Empress Gongsun's heart was moved slightly, and her eyes, which were originally filled with tears, could not help but shed pearls. The gentleness of this lady from the Xu family made her cold heart feel warm again.

After several trembling thanks, Empress Gongsun bid farewell to Xu Qing and Qin Shuying and hurried back to her room.

After doing all this, Qin Shuying turned around, took two steps, and started pinching Xu Qing's arm.

"Tell me, how many times did you sneak out to eat when no one was watching at home?"

When Empress Gongsun faced her husband, both her and her husband's attitudes and reactions were a bit strange, so Qin Shuying didn't raise this issue until now.

Xu Qing replied awkwardly, "I didn't cheat, it was just a coincidence, and we had some physical intimacy that we had to avoid."

"Oh, forced physical intimacy?"

Qin Shuying stared at Xu Qing, with an unhappy look on her pretty face.

She slowed down her tone and asked word by word, "Is it about you sneaking into the Changsheng Palace on the day of the palace coup?"

Xu Qing widened his eyes. He never expected that Qin Shuying, who lived in Wangyue Tower, would know about this.

But what he didn't know was that Qin Shuying was following him at the time and saw his embarrassing situation in the Changsheng Palace.

"Uh……"

Seeing that Xu Qing couldn't answer, Qin Shuying didn't force him, but instead warned: "The queen's mental state is not very stable. She is obviously scared by the torture. You should be nice to her in the next few days."

When Qin Shuying was halfway through her words, Xu Qing understood what she meant.

Considering what happened before, it seems that the Queen Mother wanted Princess Danyang to crush Empress Gongsun's self-esteem, and then she could play the good guy and capture the Empress' body and mind.

As expected of Qin Shuying, who knows women's minds well, she can see the clues at a glance.

"But my husband, please remember that being nice doesn't mean you have to have any physical contact with her again."

The beautiful Qin Shuying stood up straight and said to Xu Qing seriously, "From now on, you are not allowed to attract other women...except those in the mansion, or Shuying will hear rumors about you."

Speaking of this, Qin Shuying raised her eyebrows.

Yang Liu, who was holding Jiaomu's musical instrument case, also very tactfully took two steps forward and presented the thing.

"You have to be reasonable."

Seeing that Qin Shuying's attitude towards him changed suddenly after one night, Xu Qing naturally did not want to succumb to the other party's tyranny.

He argued, "When I was in Xu's house before, you didn't care about me. Why are you suddenly interested today?"

Qin Shuying moved forward unknowingly and stepped on Xu Qing's foot.

She was very thoughtful and explained with a sneer, "In Suzhou a few years ago, you were looking forward to staying overnight in the Fourth Courtyard. Your heart couldn't accommodate anyone except me, so how could you even look at the vulgar women outside? Do I need to care about you?"

Xu Qing felt embarrassed. He did not retain the memory of his previous life after traveling through time. However, through the few words from the servants in the mansion, he could prove that what Qin Shuying said was not false.

The predecessor was indeed just as Qin Shuying said, looking down on everyone except the other party.

Even the first wife, Shen, a woman with peerless beauty and aloofness from worldly matters, was avoided by her previous incarnation.
