After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Downstairs, Zhang Siyuan came looking for Yingying with his books but didn't see her. After Xiao Sui told him that she had gone to rest, he became extremely dejected, like a wilted eggplant. He said listlessly, "Yingying is still angry with Siyuan. She doesn't even want to see him."

Xiao Sui instantly perked up, his eyes gleaming with gossip as he looked at Zhang Siyuan, expecting him to continue digging deeper. However, Zhang Siyuan adopted a melancholic and sorrowful demeanor, refusing to utter another word.

Seeing this, Zhang Da and Zhang Er had no choice but to persuade the man to return to the teahouse. However, after waiting until noon, Young Master Ying still hadn't come down. Looking at the listless young master, Zhang Da and Zhang Er reasonably suspected that what happened that morning was definitely more than just Young Master Ying's refusal to accept the jade pendant.

But they couldn't get the truth out of him. They could only go back that night and report to the master and mistress to see if they could get the young master to talk.

"Ah Da, go check if Yingying has come down yet," Zhang Siyuan said.

"Yes, young master."

Zhang Da and Zhang Er sighed silently. This was already the umpteenth time the young master had sent them to check on the situation at the shop next door.

It was only a dozen steps to go back and forth, and Zhang Da quickly went and came back. Before he even got close to the shed, Zhang Siyuan couldn't wait to ask him, "Has Yingying come down yet?"

"No, young master, Young Master Ying went out on business yesterday afternoon. He's probably really exhausted and needs to rest a bit more." Zhang Da couldn't bear to see his young master so sullen, so he found a suitable reason.

"Oh." Zhang Siyuan, who had just managed to sit up a little, slumped back down in disappointment, staring at the open book on the table, unable to concentrate at all.

Sigh, when will Yingying's wife finally stop resting? I wish Siyuan could go to her room too...

Just as Zhang Siyuan was lost in thought, and Zhang Da and Zhang Er thought that Young Master Ying would hide from their young master all day, the person came down.

It was Zhang Er who brought back the news after going next door to investigate. As soon as Zhang Siyuan heard that someone had come down, he immediately grabbed his book and rushed over there. Sure enough, he saw Yingying's wife sitting in front of the counter, and she was looking towards the door.

Zhang Siyuan subconsciously smiled, his clear eyes bright and clean. He stepped over the threshold and hurried over, pressing his arm on the table and saying in a slightly raised voice, "Yingying, you've finally rested!"

Yingying wasn't surprised by his arrival. She looked up at him, her gaze sweeping over the book in his hand, and calmly asked, "Looking for me to teach you to read?"

Although he had decided to stop indulging the young master's transgressions, he was afraid that distancing himself too quickly or obviously would hurt the young master's fragile heart, causing him to do something foolish and blame the embarrassing incident from that morning, and then do something irreversible. So he could only gradually distance himself from him.

"Mmm." Zhang Siyuan nodded in response, saying in a tone that was both complaining and coquettish, "Yingying slept for so long, are you hungry?"

Zhang Da and Zhang Er, who had followed, exchanged a glance upon hearing this. In the end, Zhang Da left silently, which Ying Ying witnessed.

Yingying said, "I'm not hungry."

Zhang Siyuan blinked at him, "Oh, but Siyuan is a little hungry."

"If you're hungry, go eat something," Yingying said calmly, without any further reaction.

Zhang Siyuan pursed her lips, staring stubbornly at him for a moment before her beautiful eyes dimmed. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "Yingying, are you still angry with Siyuan? Siyuan really didn't mean it, Siyuan won't do it again..."

Yingying's brow twitched, fearing that the silly young master might accidentally blurt out something he shouldn't have, and she asked in a questioning tone, "I'm not angry, why would I be angry with you?"

"No?" Zhang Siyuan was skeptical and remained silent, scrutinizing Yingying's face as if trying to discern something. Unfortunately, the mask covered most of Yingying's face, and his emotions could not be discerned from the exposed eyes and mouth alone.

"Have you seen enough?" Yingying asked impatiently. Why was this idiot so hung up on what happened this morning? Couldn't he just let it go?

Zhang Siyuan's eyes widened slightly: "!"

Oh! That familiar tone! That's the familiar Yingying's wife! So Yingying's wife really wasn't angry with Siyuan! She was just truly tired!

Once Zhang Siyuan understood this, he instantly perked up, and the worry on his face and the tension in his heart vanished.

He looked at Yingying with bright eyes, his talkative nature showing: "Yingying, Yingying, Siyuan has remembered all the words you taught him yesterday. Grandpa and Grandma praised Siyuan, hehe. Siyuan still remembers them. They are 'Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and desolate, the sun and moon wax and wane,' right?"

Yingying was surprised, not expecting that the silly young master actually remembered it, so she praised him without reservation: "Hmm, not bad, it seems that you really remembered it, very impressive."

One thing at a time, even if this unsuitable relationship has to be severed, the young master's efforts are still commendable.

Zhang Siyuan proudly raised his head and said confidently, "Siyuan can be even more amazing!"

Although he hadn't seen Yingying's wife all morning, she had praised Siyuan, hehehe... Overjoyed, Zhang Siyuan forgot all his worries, his smile brighter than the sun in the sky, dazzling everyone else as well.

Yingying watched in silence for a while, then thought, "Forget it, let's leave it at that for now. It's better to be happy than to realize his intentions. I'll just find more excuses to go out on business in the future. With less contact and more distance over time, this fool's feelings will probably fade away."

“Didn’t we say we were going to learn to read? Let’s start now. Same as always, I’ll say one and you go sit in that corner and memorize it or go back to your little teahouse to memorize it. Once you’ve memorized it, ask me for the next one,” Yingying said.

"Oh, oh, okay!" Zhang Siyuan snapped out of his daze, immediately stopped laughing, and handed the book to Yingying. Yingying opened it, glanced at him again, and then pointed to the next line after "日月盈昃" (the sun and moon wax and wane) and said, "These four characters are pronounced '辰宿列张' (Chen Su Lie Zhang). We'll remember the first one first. '辰' means stars..."

"..."

Zhang Er observed the two diligently teaching and learning for a long time, but he couldn't see any difficulty or reluctance from Young Master Ying. He couldn't help but scratch his head. Could it be that they had made a mistake? Had something unpleasant happened between the young master and Young Master Ying?

Forget it, forget it. I can't figure it out, so I'll stop thinking about it. Let the master and mistress worry about the young master's affairs.

Yingying stayed at the shop until evening, then left early under the pretext of having something to do. Zhang Siyuan, as usual, stayed at the teahouse until late before returning home. However, this time, Steward Zhong did not allow him to see the master and mistress. For the first time, Zhang Siyuan did not want to face his grandparents. They were both feeling heartbroken or ashamed because of the same thing.

I don't want to see my grandson for now, but I still need to know what he did during the day, especially his progress in recognizing characters.

Zhang Da and Zhang Er reported the matter in detail. After learning that their grandson had memorized fourteen more characters, Zhang Guanghong and his wife felt much better after a day of frustration.

As for their grandson crying, neither of them believed the reason he gave Zhang Da and the others. They both thought that his enthusiasm had scared them off. However, they would have to ask him tomorrow to find out for sure. They believed that with a little coaxing, their grandson would tell them everything.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated this time.

The next day, no matter how they asked their grandson or tried to subtly inquire, he said that he was upset because Yingying's wife wouldn't accept his jade pendant, and that he would continue to give her the jade pendant that day.

Reluctantly, the two had no choice but to give up and let their grandson go out.

On this day, Zhang Siyuan did nothing to leave Yingying speechless or frantic. He obediently studied his "Thousand Character Classic," behaving very well and normally, which made Yingying feel uneasy and deeply self-doubting.

No, isn't it a good thing that the silly young master isn't so loud and boisterous anymore? Why does he feel uneasy about it?

Yingying was extremely annoyed and felt that something was wrong with her, but her chaotic emotions did not last long before they were broken by an uninvited guest.
