Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 13
Therefore, after the tea was served, Bauhinia did not retreat, but stood aside to serve.

After Su Wan served the tea, she sat down on the other side, and the two of them were relatively silent.

Huo Yuan didn't want to discuss any topics with Su Wan, and Su Wan didn't want to have nothing to say, anyway, it was the same with their previous relationship.

It's just that Su Wan'er used to be trembling, but Su Wan was enjoying herself.

After the meal was set, the two moved to the dining table and ate dinner in silence.

After eating, rinsing mouth and washing hands, the maid removed all the leftover seats.

Su Wan was already very familiar with these rules and procedures, but Huo Yuan didn't realize anything was wrong.

Naturally, he couldn't rest right away after eating, the west room and the hall were being cleaned up back and forth, so Huo Yuan went to the study in the east room, and Su Wan followed after seeing this.

The east room is quite large, the two rooms are not separated, it looks a bit empty and deserted, there is an arhat couch under the south window, and a desk on the opposite side, on the desk there are pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and a scroll cylinder for scrolls But it was full of paper tubes that hadn't been framed yet—these were all made by Su Wan in the past half a month, some of them were written by Su Wan, and some were just two strokes drawn by her. She was quite satisfied, so she kept them. down.

Huo Yuan walked over, picked up a volume and unfolded it. The running script in one hand was quite lively, flowing like flowing water, which was very different from the cowardly and timid impression Su Wan'er gave him, and there was a trace of surprise on his face that seemed to remain unchanged all year round. He asked, "Did you write this "Happy Journey"?"

Su Wan nodded slowly and said, "Master Hou laughed."

"I didn't expect you to have such abilities." Huo Yuan put down the writing in his hand and said, "I never heard of it before."

"How can this be considered a skill? Any lady from all over the world is better than me. Besides, Lord Hou manages so many things every day, how can he pay attention to such trivial matters?" Su Wan said with a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"You are quite courageous." Even he dared to sarcastically, why didn't he find her so sharp-tongued before?

"Master Hou has won the prize, I'm just telling the truth." Su Wan rerolled the words she had written and put them in the scroll jar.

Hearing this, Huo Yuan couldn't help but take a careful look at Su Wan, only then did he realize that Su Wan'er seemed a little different from what he remembered.

In the past, when she saw herself, she would either tremble with fear, as if he was something terrifying, or she would look numb and feel ashamed.But now, she is neither humble nor overbearing, calm and composed, and dares to talk back to him, as if she has been reborn, which surprised him a little.

"Why aren't you afraid of me now?" Huo Yuan began to ask.

Su Wan raised her head and glanced at him, saw the slight sarcasm in his eyes, and said lightly: "I figured it out, what else can I do? Anyway, things won't be worse than now. Instead of being resentful, it's better to be calm Accept it and face it bravely. Maybe you can make yourself live more comfortably."

While Su Wan was speaking, Huo Yuan's sharp eyes were staring at her closely. If she lied and had a guilty conscience, she would definitely show her flaws. Even ordinary people who are open-minded would probably be trembling.But Su Wan was always frank and fearless, it seemed that it was from the heart, Huo Yuan believed her words, and did not doubt too much.

"If you really think so, it's your luck." Huo Yuan said.

Knowing that she couldn't resist, but refused to accept her fate, it was only her who felt uncomfortable in the end.Since the facts can no longer be changed, it is better to let yourself live better while accepting your fate like now.

Su Wan smiled slightly, noncommittal.

"It's getting late, it's time to settle down." Huo Yuan walked out as he said that, the current Su Wan'er made him want to stay, he only hoped that she would be so sensible in bed, and stop being like a log Let him down.

Su Wan's body froze slightly after hearing this, but she still took a deep breath and followed.

Now that she has made up her mind, she has no intention of running away.

On the box bed in the bedroom, the lotus-coloured gauze curtain has been put down.

"Relax, don't be afraid!" Feeling the tension in Su Wan's body, Huo Yuan couldn't help comforting him softly.

Although he was still not gentle enough, he was a little more patient than usual.

Under his comfort, Su Wan really relaxed slowly, Huo Yuan couldn't bear it any longer, and finally broke through the door.

After the discomfort at the beginning, Su Wan also gradually got some fun, it was not as difficult as imagined, and her body gradually let go.

The mandarin ducks crossed their necks and were turned into red waves, and the night passed quickly.

The next day, when Su Wan woke up, Huo Yuan had already left.

Thinking of what happened last night, Su Wan still felt unreal, but the strange feeling left in her body told her that last night was not a dream.

Su Wan covered her face.

She never expected that she would sleep with a man so easily. Even if this man was her husband in name, it made her feel a little ridiculous.

Although she felt a little ashamed, Su Wan was more sober in her heart, and would not have any extra feelings for him just because he wanted her body.

If under such circumstances, she still has a good impression of Huo Yuan, then she is definitely asking for torture and getting water in her head.

What's more, she was cold-hearted, so it was too difficult to tempt her.

Therefore, Huo Yuan was positioned as a regular bed partner by Su Wan.

"Ma'am, are you awake?" Su Wan just got out of bed when Lu Fu came in.

"Why didn't you wake me up when Master Hou left?" Su Wan asked, according to the rules, she was going to serve her husband to wash and dress.

Lu Fu said: "Master Hou refuses to let you sleep more."

Su Wan nodded, thinking he still has a conscience.

She woke up a bit late today, afraid of delaying her greetings to Mrs. Tai, Su Wan didn't go to exercise. After dressing up, she went directly to Songheyuan, but she was still a step behind.

Mrs. Tai didn't say anything, but Aunt Wang looked at her with a fake smile and said, "No wonder Madam came late today. Seeing Madam's charming appearance, Lord Hou must have stayed at Wangqiu last night." Courtyard? However, my wife is too careless, even if Lord Hou hasn't been to Wangqiu Courtyard for a long time, he shouldn't be so complacent."

The sour smell in the tone could be smelled all over the room. Those who didn't know it thought she was the main wife and Su Wan was the concubine!

Su Wan glanced at her lightly, and before she could speak, she heard Tai Madam scolded sharply: "Aunt Wang! Stop talking nonsense in front of the children, I think you don't know the rules anymore, why don't you go to greet your wife!"

Only then did Aunt Wang realize that the girls from the third room of the Hou's Mansion were all present. As an elder, it was really inappropriate to say these things in front of the children, let alone her daughter was here, and she suddenly felt her face was hot, and she stopped in resentment. With a forced smile, he curtseyed to Su Wan and said: "I have apologized to my wife, I hope my wife will forgive me for my indiscriminate words just now, right?"
