Chapter 9: Wedding consummation?

After leaving the garden and going outside, Qingqing turned around and said to Shen Han, "You go and do your work. Lingzhi and I will be back soon."

Of the two Shujin Ganoderma lucidums that the lady had awarded as a reward, Shen Han could only hold one, and the other one was always held by Shen Han.

Qingqing said as she was about to take the piece of satin from Shen Han's hand, saying, "Thank you for your help. I can get it myself."

Shen Han slightly turned his body to avoid Qingqing's hand that was about to take the satin, and replied: "This thing is very heavy, I will help you take it back."

Qingqing's face was dull, and she half-closed her eyes and didn't look at anyone. She just replied calmly: "The Zhao family is making trouble in front, and the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law can't handle it. Since you brought the person back, you should go over and deal with it as soon as possible."

"Give it to me. It's just a batch of cloth. I can carry it." Qingqing insisted and reached out to take it.

Shen Han glanced at his wife's wooden little face, his thin lips moved slightly, and finally, he sighed slightly, but handed the things in his hand to Qingqing. He held the cloth in one hand and walked towards Lan Yaju where Qingqing lived.

Shen Han walked in front and Qingqing walked behind. The couple walked back in silence and sullen mood.

When they arrived at the entrance of Lan Yaju, Shen Han handed the cloth in his hand to Grandma Sun at the door, and then said to Lingzhi who was following Qingqing: "You and Grandma go in first, I have a few words to say to Madam."

Lingzhi understood and winked at the old lady, and the old man and the young man took the things and went into the house first.

In the west of Wujin, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on Shen Han, casting a long shadow. She stood in his shadow and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Shen Han's face was tense. He looked at her and said, "I adopted Ruoqing's child as my adopted son. Are you unhappy?"

Qingqing was silent for a long time, then she replied: "This is your business. It doesn't matter whether I am happy or not."

When Shen Han heard her say this, he fell silent.

After a long while, he said, "You are my wife. Whether you agree or not is important to me when I do this."

Qingqing raised her eyes to look at Shen Han and asked, "If I say I don't like that kid calling you 'Daddy', can I change anything?"

Shen Han seemed to have not expected Qingqing to say that. After a brief moment of surprise, his face turned slightly cold, and then he frowned and replied, "I didn't discuss this matter with you in advance. It's indeed my fault, but a gentleman's word is as good as a horse. Since I have already adopted the child as my adopted son, I naturally can't change my mind anymore."

After hearing what he said, Qingqing did not continue to argue and just said calmly: "Then please do as you please, General. I am tired and will go in and rest first."

After saying that, she left Shen Han with a wooden face and turned to walk into the yard.

After Lingzhi entered the house, she told Grandma Sun everything about her visit to the lady and the old lady today. Grandma already had a rough idea in her mind, so when she saw Qingqing entering the house in a depressed mood, she did not have the heart to ask more questions and just went to get dinner.

After dinner, Qingqing went to the inner room by herself.

As usual, she took off her outer clothes and untied the Nale people's restraints.

When she didn't go out, she usually stayed in her room, not tied up like this, and felt more relaxed. Today, she had been out for most of the day, and when she took off her chest binder, she saw a large rash on her chest from the heat. The rash suddenly became extremely itchy when exposed to the wind. Qingqing hurriedly called her grandmother and Lingzhi to prepare water for a bath.

After a while, the water was prepared. The old lady asked Lingzhi to rest while she helped Qingqing take a bath.

The old lady deliberately put a lot of scented water in the bathtub. Qingqing immersed her body in the warm water and immediately felt relaxed.

She soaked in the water for quite a while. When she came out, the old lady looked at the girl's exquisite figure. She raised her hand and wiped the water droplets off Qingqing's body with a towel, while she said happily: "The girl's body is really as white as tender tofu. Wow, look at it, it's so smooth that even water droplets can't get on it."

As he said this, he was about to apply perfumed lotion on Qingqing's body.

Qingqing wondered, "We've already put a lot of it in the water, why did grandma still need to apply it?"

Grandma Sun glanced at Qingqing meaningfully, then lowered her voice and said, "The son-in-law will most likely come over tonight, and the young lady hasn't consummated her marriage with the son-in-law yet. Today is the first night, so naturally she wants to smell good."

Qingqing finally understood, and her face turned slightly red.

Seeing her shyness, the old lady leaned over and whispered in her ear, "If you want to conquer a man's heart, you must conquer his body first. With such an outstanding appearance and figure as yours, once the son-in-law gets close to you, he will definitely be inseparable."

Qingqing blushed when she heard this and quickly turned her head away and said, "Grandma, please don't talk about this."

Grandma was Qingqing's closest person. Qingqing lost her mother when she was young. For such things, Grandma thought she had to remind her more. Seeing that Qingqing was not paying attention, she hurriedly said, "Madam, don't be shy. This is a matter of time. The sooner you are with your son-in-law, the sooner you can get pregnant. Once you have a child, you can have a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion."

When the word "child" was mentioned, Qingqing's face subconsciously darkened. She took the towel from the old lady's hand, wiped it dry, and said angrily, "He won't come tonight."

After saying that, she put on a large bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom barefoot.

After hearing what Qingqing said, the old lady stood there in a daze for a long time. When she realized what was going on, she hurriedly caught up with Qingqing and asked anxiously, "Young lady, how do you know that the son-in-law will not come today? Did he tell you in person?"

He brought back a woman and a child of unknown origin, and repeatedly abandoned her to support the mother and child.

Does she still want to consummate her marriage with him?
She doesn't want to!
He may not be willing!

Seeing Qingqing remained silent, the old lady continued to ask, "I just heard from Lingzhi that you two had a quarrel, but it's not a big deal. A man like Uncle will not take such a small matter to heart, and you shouldn't be angry about it. Since Uncle said that the child is his adopted son, then it must be true. Uncle is a man of integrity. If there is anything, he will definitely dare to do it and take responsibility. He will definitely not hide it and deceive you."

Shen Han is indeed an open-minded gentleman, but Qingqing saw with her own eyes that the child's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to his. It is hard to believe that he is not Shen Han's biological son.

"Young lady, please listen to me and don't get angry with the uncle. I've noticed that the uncle has been very concerned about you these past two days. After all, the cousin of the Lin family is married. Even if she had something with the uncle in the past, she is no match for you, the legitimate wife." The old lady advised, and seeing that Qingqing was unmoved, she urged, "Why don't you go over there in person and invite the uncle over?"

For something like this, she still needs to ask him for help?
Qingqing knew that the old lady was really thinking about her. She smiled bitterly and explained to the old lady, "We have only been together for a short time. I am not ready yet. Grandma, this matter cannot be rushed."
