When Xia Shang left Sai Mansion and returned home, the sky was already white. He was exhausted after a day of hard work. He ignored Zhong Bo who got up early and fell directly on the bed when he returned to the house.
The lady on the bed was about to wake up and wanted to get up, but when she saw her husband went home to sleep, she lay quietly on her side again, waiting with bright eyes.
When Xia Shang took off his coat and got into the blanket, a pair of small hands immediately leaned on Xia Shang's chest, and the words as soft as the breeze sounded in his ears: "Husband, why didn't you come back all night?"
Xia Shang was tired and didn't know how to explain. He sighed and closed his eyes.
Seeing that her husband was worried, Qin Huairou didn't ask any more questions. Her little face was pressed on Xia Shang's shoulder, her little feet hooked Xia Shang's thigh, and she leaned against him obediently.
Today's lady is no longer the cold and resentful woman. All the previous things have completely melted her heart.
She didn't care what her husband did last night, nor did she care whether he was out looking for other women. As long as she thought that her husband was good to her, she would feel at ease as long as he came back. The little satisfaction was as silly as a lover in love.
At this moment, Xia Shang was still troubled by the things that happened in the past two days.
First it was Shangguan Chan, then Sai Jiangnan, and now even Mrs. Sai was involved.
Xia Shang just wanted a carefree life, with a wife, a maid, and a few beauties.
But life didn't give Xia Shang a chance to rest, and various situations always appeared in the peaceful life.
The master of the Sai family is not good.
Thinking about it, Xia Shang fell asleep without knowing when.
...
Since the beginning of summer, the weather has been getting hotter day by day, and people's clothes have been getting less and less. It seems that shirtless men are about to appear on the street, but the sky suddenly darkens.
It was noon, but the sun was hidden in the clouds. The clouds were low and dark, hanging precariously in the sky as if they were within reach.
The wind blew endlessly, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, causing the new willows opposite the Xia family's courtyard to bend their backs, with branches trembling and flapping wildly. The new leaves were stirred all over the sky, mixed with sand and soil in a mess. I don't know which house's hat was blown upside down in the air, attracting a few wild cats playing against the wind to chase after it.
A guest came to the house, and before entering the house, he stood in the yard against the wind.
Qin Huairou knew the other party's identity and hurried back to the room and came to Xia Shang's bedside: "Husband... Husband..."
Xia Shang hadn't slept enough and was still a little grumpy. He rubbed his eyes in a daze and seemed very impatient: "Oh, stop it, I still want to sleep."
"Husband, someone is coming. Go and see."
"Someone? Who?"
"Husband's student."
"Student? What student?"
"It's Miss Sai."
"Sai Jiangnan?"
Thinking of that girl, Xia Shang was full of anger. She actually drugged him. Fortunately, she didn't succeed. Otherwise, he would have suffered yesterday!
"It's good that I didn't settle accounts with her. She still has the nerve to come to see me? Tell her that I have nothing to do with her Sai family anymore, tell her to go back."
Qin Huairou was stunned. She didn't know why her husband was so angry. She was a little confused: "Husband..."
"Go away! Go away! I want to sleep."
After that, Xia Shang dived into the quilt.
Qin Huairou was confused. She was Xia Shang's wife, so she naturally knew Xia Shang best.
She knew that her husband looked very gentle and decent, but he was still a pervert in his bones. The girls outside were so beautiful that even she would envy them. How could her husband not like them? Instead, he wanted to drive them away? This was really strange.
Thinking about it, Qin Huairou went to the yard.
Sai Jiangnan was wearing a simple green gauze skirt with white flowers, and a thin white shawl on it, which fluttered in the wind, mixed with her silk, and looked very charming.
"Master's wife, Master..."
"Girl, my husband just said that he doesn't want to see you, and doesn't want to have anything to do with you, so please leave."
Sai Jiangnan was stunned when she heard this: "What? Master... Master, do you want me?"
Instantly, Sai Jiangnan's pretty face turned pale, and she was so scared that she broke out in a sweat.
She knew that Master would resent her, but she didn't expect that Master would be so decisive!
No!
Absolutely not!
After finally identifying a teacher, how could she let him go so easily?
Although this teacher is a little hypocritical, a little lustful, a little shameless, a little treacherous...
But overall it's still pretty good.
The key is that he didn't take advantage of others' misfortune, and would rather suffer himself than hurt others.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed, and yesterday was the best proof.
Jiangnan really needs someone to protect her! Yesterday she felt the warmth she had never felt in her life, and that feeling surpassed everything, and she didn't want to lose it all at once.
"Master's wife, please, go talk to the teacher again. Tell him that I know I was wrong and I will definitely change."
"Don't call me Master's wife, I'm not your Master's wife."
Qin Huairou waved her hand, shook off Jiangnan and went to the side.
Jiangnan stood at the door. According to her usual temper, she would definitely rush in directly, but she was afraid that she would not be forgiven by the teacher.
What should I do?
Jiangnan thought for a while.
The whistling wind behind him brought inspiration. Since no one cared about me, I might as well kneel in the yard and wait for the rain to come. See if you will care about me.
Having made up his mind, Jiangnan knelt firmly outside the thatched house: "Sir! Jiangnan knows I was wrong! Please forgive me! If you don't forgive me, I will kneel here and die."
Boom...
A muffled thunder rose with Jiangnan's voice, and then heavy rain fell from the sky, falling on the green tiles, falling in the well, falling on the leaves... The dripping sounds mixed together, and a manic symphony began.
The raindrops hit Jiangnan's face, body, and clothes, soaking her thoroughly in just a few seconds, but this stubborn girl did not move, kneeling straight, without blinking.
Women always sympathize with each other when they see each other. Huairou and Yazhi couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted when they looked at the little body in the rain under the eaves. They are also like Jiangnan. No matter what their superficial personalities are, they have a stubborn and unyielding heart inside.
Zhong Bo held an umbrella and walked up to Jiangnan: "Miss, why are you doing this? Go back quickly."
"I won't! I won't get up unless the master forgives me!"
The figure in the wind and rain seemed familiar to Yazhi. Wasn't that a reflection of herself back then?
When the Xia family was in trouble, she knelt in the yard like this, begging the Xia family not to abandon her.
The pain and hardship are still unforgettable.
"Madam, please help her." Yazhi rarely took the initiative to talk to Qin Huairou, and was even said to be asking for it.
Qin Huairou frowned, hesitated for several times, and finally shook her head and said coldly: "My husband has already said that since my husband doesn't want to see her, there must be a reason."
"Her body is not as good as Yazhi's, how can she kneel in the heavy rain? You...how can you have no sympathy at all! You won't say it, right? Then I'll go and say it!"
Yazhi stomped her feet angrily and pushed the door directly into the thatched house.
As soon as he entered the thatched hut, Xia Shang's voice came: "Let her kneel down and play a trick on me. Let's see how long she can hold out!"
