Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 56: The Abandoned Face

Shangqi closed his eyes while speaking.

His little hands nervously clutched the thin quilt, fearing that Su Rutang would drive him away.

Seeing how cautious he was, Su Rutang couldn't help but lean over and kiss him on the forehead. "Have a good dream."

She was about to lie down when she heard some noise outside.

"Second Master."

Chunxi's voice outside.

Zhou Chengru had long wanted to come to Chuitang Courtyard, as the rumors about his impeachment were getting more and more outrageous. He took the opportunity to express his loyalty to the man, but the man's chief historian made a request.

He wanted Zhou Chengru to go to the Su Mansion to do something small for that person.

Zhou Chengru was in a dilemma and was targeted again in the Ministry of Works today.

The Su family didn't say anything this time, and the civil and military officials naturally knew what the Su family meant. They all wanted to drown him with spit so that he would vacate the position of the Minister of Works.

He finished his drink outside in a decadent manner.

He wanted to talk to General Su, but when he arrived at the door, the servants didn't let him in.

He was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

"Where's your second grandmother?"

Chunxi lowered his eyebrows and said, "Second Madam is weak and needs to take care of herself. She has already rested."

Zhou Chengru thought about it and decided that for the sake of his future, he might as well stay here tonight.

She should be very happy that she had consummated her marriage with Su Rutang.

"I'll stay here tonight."

Chunxi was shocked when he heard his words. He bowed and said, "Miss Taohua and Second Madam have gone to bed. I'm afraid it's not convenient for Second Master tonight."

Zhou Chengru frowned in displeasure.

"Why does she live with your second grandmother? Doesn't she have a separate room?"

"Second Madam has been working too hard today and is feeling unwell. Miss Taohua is here to talk with her and comfort her." Chunxi was afraid that he would go in again, so he hurriedly said that he had already prepared the medicine according to the prescription for her to take, and she was probably fast asleep by now.

Zhou Chengru left without saying anything else.

After a while.

Su Rutang then asked softly: "Chunxi, is he gone?"

"gone."

After a pause, Chunxi continued: "I see that the Second Master wants to live here..." After all, she didn't have the courage to talk about consummating the marriage.

Su Rutang sneered.

She disliked that thing of Zhou Chengru, and it was disgusting that he did that kind of thing with his widowed sister-in-law.

Early the next morning.

Chunxi came in and was shocked.

"Thieves."

Xia An rushed in and asked, "Where is the thief?"

Su Rutang stopped the two of them, "He's not a thief, he's Commander Shang's son Shang Qi."

Shangqi rolled his eyes, "Have you seen such a small thief?"

"He... Why is Young Master Shang here?" Chunxi also recognized him. It was hard to ignore the little tiger mask.

"Xia'an. Take him out right now."

Su Rutang did not explain.

"I'm not leaving. I'm here." Shangqi had never slept as soundly as he did last night. He liked the faint fragrance on Su Rutang's body.

It tastes like a dream.

Peach blossoms also woke up.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at Shangqi in surprise.

She crawled in front of Shangqi, poked his mask with her hand, and showed a sweet smile.

Taohua was gesticulating and mumbling something.

Su Rutang, Chunxi and Xia An were stunned.

Shangqi smiled.

Holding Taohua in his arms, "Sister. You said you've seen me, right?"

Taohua nodded.

"In the dream too?"

Taohua nodded again, tears welling up in her big eyes. She held him tightly with her small hands, and looked at Su Rutang with more pleading in her eyes.

Su Rutang said in a hoarse voice:

"Taohua, are you asking my brother to stay here?"

Taohua nodded again. She was not close to anyone of her age in the mansion.

This made Su Rutang feel strange.

"Shangqi, can I see your face under the mask?"

Shangqi hesitated for a moment, thinking of what Shangyan said. "My father said that my face is too scary and cannot be seen by others."

He was also afraid that Su Rutang would not let him stay because of this.

With one hand, she lifted the mask a little, and with the other hand, she carefully poked her finger. Su Rutang only felt the unevenness of the place where her finger touched.

Her heart trembled, "Is it a scar from an injury?"

"Ah."

Shangqi nodded nonchalantly.

Su Rutang held him in his arms and whispered, "Then why don't you stay for two days and go back before your father comes back?"

Shangqi nodded heavily in her arms.

Su Rutang combed Shangqi's hair and tied it into a bun himself. He and Xiao Taohua sat opposite each other, one making gestures while the other talked across the small table.

Chunxi smiled:

"Taohua is so happy today. The two children seem to be somewhat similar, not in appearance but in that kind of indescribable relationship."

Su Rutang's heart sank, and she had an idea in her mind.

I dare not confirm it.

Just come back to confirm later.

Someone was talking in the corridor: "Miss Qiu Ling, tell Second Madam to ask Second Master to come over and have breakfast with us."

"it is good."

Chunxi felt sad, she could sense that Su Rutang did not want to consummate her marriage with Zhou Chengru.

"Second Madam. Second Master..."

The smile on Su Rutang's face faded a lot, and she said, "Ask the kitchen to add two more dishes according to the usual menu." In the past, she must have taken note of the dishes Zhou Chengru liked, put aside her past and wanted to live her life wholeheartedly.

"Is Second Master hysterical? Those ungrateful people are useless."

"Stop talking. Just talk here and be careful outside." Su Rutang held his head and said helplessly.

Shangqi's eyes darkened. How dare someone bully her?

Humph……

He walked out holding Taohua's hand.

Su Rutang didn't want Zhou Chengru to see them, so he asked Qiu Ling and Dong Xiang to take them to stay in the house to eat breakfast.

Su Rutang went to the next room.

There were a few side dishes, six or seven kinds of breakfast, and a large bowl of shredded chicken porridge on the table inside.

She had just gone in to wash her hands when Zhou Chengru came over with Song Huaiyan.

Song Huaiyan was smiling, and at first glance she looked like a lady. "Second Madam, the Second Master said earlier that the food in the small kitchen at Chuitang Courtyard was good. I shamelessly followed the Second Master here."

Zhou Chengru washed his hands and sat down.

Song Huaiyan thought Su Rutang would be angry.

Then I saw her sitting leisurely on the chair, waiting for Chunxi to serve her porridge.

Before Zhou Chengru even picked up the pickled cucumber with his chopsticks, Su Rutang had already picked up the pickled cucumber.

"Second Grandma..."

Zhou Chengru said unhappily:

"Eating can't stop your mouth."

Song Huaiyan: “…” She had no choice but to eat a bowl of tasteless porridge angrily. After she finished eating, she left angrily without waiting for Zhou Chengru.

After she leaves.

Zhou Chengru put down the bowl, his eyes full of affection, "Rutang, I have something to tell you."

He reached out and wanted to hold Su Rutang's hand.

Su Rutang shrank back subconsciously.

"Second Master, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

Zhou Chengru's hands were empty, and his eyes, which were too affectionate even for a dog, just stared at Su Rutang.

"Rutang, let's live a good life."

Su Rutang glanced at it and said, "Isn't it good now?"

"This is not what I want, nor what you want." He stood up, picked up the teacup and took a sip to rinse his mouth.

He wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel.

Chunxi ordered his men to clean it up and serve tea.

Only then did he retreat.

Su Rutang raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Chengru, "I think this is great."

Zhou Chengru didn't believe it.

He took a step forward and held Su Rutang in his arms, his breath falling on her earlobe. "No, I know you hate me. I promise you that I will consummate our marriage tonight and we will have a child of our own."

Su Rutang struggled to break free, "Let me go."

"Rutang, whether you blame me or hate me, I accept it all." He hugged her tighter and wanted to kiss Su Rutang with his lips.

Su Rutang dodged and his kiss fell on the golden hairpin on her bun.

"you……"

Su Rutang took the opportunity to push him away, "Chunxi."

"Second Madam." Chunxi came in hurriedly.

Zhou Chengru saw Chunxi coming in, and he was filled with anger. He looked at Su Rutang with a deep gaze, "Rutang, you can just be angry with me, but you also have to take care of our family.

A few days ago, the Emperor reprimanded Grandfather for Sister Yu's matter. I thought we should go and apologize to Grandfather."

Something flashed through Su Rutang's mind.

"You want to tell me that you're going to the Su Mansion today?"

"My grandfather is angry with me. If we go together..." Zhou Chengru reached out and touched his lip, which was scratched by Su Rutang's hairpin, causing a burning pain.

"I promise you. Let's wait until my elder sister comes back." Su Rutang agreed without hesitation.

"Okay. Eldest sister will be back tomorrow. How about we go to the Su Mansion the day after tomorrow?" Zhou Chengru asked indifferently, but his tone was firm and did not allow for negotiation.

At this moment, Su Rutang just wanted him to leave.

"it is good."

"Then I'll leave first." Zhou Chengru turned and left.

After she left, Su Rutang pulled out the hairpin from her bun and threw it on the ground. "Chunxi, take it and throw it away."
