Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1815

Shi Chengxuan was ultimately unable to set out for Tiema City, but the news that he would leave in the early spring of the following year spread so widely that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion knew about it.

He decided to move back to the Marquis' Mansion as he could no longer stay with Madam Gu.

He was not stupid and had seen the disgust in Madam Gu's eyes.

Madam Gu would never be like this before. Ever since she knew that Tang Chujun was Mr. Chu Sheng, she has become cold-tempered.

Oh! Women are really unreliable! They are fickle.

Shi Chengxuan wanted to save face, so he went back to the Marquis' Mansion and acted like an old man. "The New Year is coming soon. After the New Year, I will go to Tiema City. If you have anything to bring to your sister, you can prepare it early."

He sat at the head of the table with a solemn expression, acting like an old man, as if he was about to get down to business after a dissolute life.

Shi Yunqi was busy with official duties and ignored him. Wei Cailing was busy with menial affairs and ignored him.

His illegitimate sons and daughters were too busy with schoolwork and needlework to pay attention to him.

This old man was so boring that he asked Chang Wu, "Should I not come back?"

Chang Wu said, "In the Gu family, we are dependent on others after all. Besides, Madam Gu is a woman. If you live there for a long time, it will affect her reputation."

As a result, he couldn't even hold his head up among the servants of the Gu family. Everyone thought that his master was a gigolo and refused to leave the Gu family.

Shi Chengxuan nodded. "I didn't think so much in the past. I think Madam Gu wanted to drive me away a long time ago. I am the father of the Marquis. No matter what, I have to stay in the Marquis's mansion and take charge of the affairs."

"As long as you are happy." Chang Wu replied.

Don't talk about presiding over affairs. Do you have the right to speak? Don't you have any idea?

That day, the Marquis' Mansion received a letter from Shi Anxia reporting that he was safe.

"Let me see it." Shi Chengxuan asked his son.

Shi Yunqi was too lazy to talk to him and just gave him the letter directly.

There was nothing important in the letter, just trivial matters. The itinerary was also vague, only saying that the journey was safe.

Shi Yunqi reminded him, "Return it to me after you finish reading it."

After reading it, Shi Chengxuan returned the letter to his son and complained, "Your sister is also strange. She has to go to Tiema City at this time. I heard that the weather there is extremely cold and there is no food. Is she going to drink the wind?"

After a pause, he continued to complain, "He even took my grandson and granddaughter to drink the wind."

Wei Cailing responded to him, "Xia'er originally wanted to wait until her mother's wedding day before leaving, but she couldn't wait any longer. As soon as Shen Yuanshi said that the child was in good health, she rushed to Tiema City to find her brother-in-law. For this kind of thing, even a day of delay would make people anxious."

Shi Chengxuan didn't hear a word of what was said afterwards. The harsh words "mother's wedding day" made his head buzz.

He felt a tightness in his chest and didn't want to look at his daughter-in-law any more, so he turned around and left.

"Ignore him." Shi Yunqi said to his wife. He took the son from the nurse and rocked him in his arms. "Don't spoil him. If he asks you for money in the future, don't give him a single penny."

"I understand." Wei Cailing raised her hand and patted her son's chest. "Xia'er is very smart. He predicted that father would return to the Marquis' Mansion before the New Year."

"It's not hard to calculate." Shi Yunqi had suffered a lot, and his ability to see through people's hearts was much better than Tang Xinghe and others. "Madam Gu's patience is limited. Although she is grateful, she will not indulge. Once he does not meet his father's wishes, he will rebel and turn around and go back to the Marquis' Mansion. He did this specifically for Madam Gu to see, so that she would think he has a backer."

Wei Cailing smiled and said, "My father behaves like a woman in the boudoir."

"Ha!" Shi Yunqi smiled coldly, "If he behaves himself, the Marquis's Mansion won't need him to eat a single bite. If he doesn't behave himself, I'll kick him out of the Mansion."

He was no longer the bullied boy. He would not tolerate his father bossing his wife around in the mansion, making the place a mess.

He paused for a moment, and said meaningfully, "I think he has other thoughts when he returns home."

This hits the nail on the head.

Shi Chengxuan did have something on his mind. These days, he always lingered at the gate of the Marquis's Mansion, hoping to "accidentally run into" Tang Chujun.
