Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

The next morning.

Gu Qingyuan opened her eyes, picked out a blue dress to put on, tied her hair up simply, and then washed up and waited in the yard.

Gu Qingyuan had a dreamless night last night. Now she was sitting in the yard, looking energetic and full of life.

Wen Shubai was in stark contrast to her. He clearly kept reassuring himself that it was nothing, but when he thought about how intimate she would be with another man in the future, he felt uncomfortable.

Although his father, consort, and mother had all told him to be magnanimous when he was in the palace, he felt that he might disappoint them.

Finally, he couldn't help but walked out.

When Gu Qingyuan saw Wen Shubai, she greeted him lightly: "Good morning."

Wen Shubai glanced at her and stood beside her. Gu Qingyuan looked up in confusion, but found that there was a dark spot under his eyes, as if he had not rested well.

"What's wrong? Are you not used to living here?" Gu Qingyuan was in a good mood, so he asked another question.

Won't she explain it to herself?

Wen Shubai was angry and his words were not polite at all.

"Your courtyard is not as good as Plum Garden."

Gu Qingyuan thought he wanted to move back soon, so she explained, "It will take some time for Plum Garden to be rebuilt, maybe a month at most. I'm sorry to bother you for now."

Wen Shubai continued to stare at her. The slightly raised corners of her mouth were enough to show her good mood. He couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. Could it be that marrying a new person made her so happy?

What am I to her?

Gu Qingyuan didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing that he looked unhappy, she felt that men's hearts were really unpredictable.

It wasn't until General Gu sent someone to call Gu Qingyuan over that Gu Qingyuan waved at him and said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Please do as you please."

Wen Shubai looked at her leaving back and stamped his feet.

What could she do when she went out? She was just going to the Qi family to propose marriage.

He couldn't stay in this house any longer, so he called for rain.

"I want to enter the palace."

Yu Shui was surprised and asked, "Master, why do you want to return to the palace at this time?"

Wen Shubai said unhappily, "Do I need to ask your permission before entering the palace? Please pack my clothes for me. I want to stay in the palace for two days."

"But, the young master is not here, and if you go out like this... wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"Leave me alone?"

Yu Shui quickly said, "I dare not. I'll go pack my things now."

After packing up everything, Wen Shubai bit the tip of the pen and wrote a letter to Gu Qingyuan.

Then he got in the carriage and went into the palace with Yu Shui.

When the people in the palace saw the token in his hand and his face, they immediately recognized his identity and let him pass.

After Wen Shubai entered the palace, he came to Jinxiu Palace, where his father and concubine lived.

Wen Shubai's father was a favored noble lady. When she learned that Wen Shubai had come to the palace to find her, she walked out of the house with light steps.

Looking at his thin figure, I felt heartbroken.

"Why are you free to come to the palace to see me today?"

Wen Shubai saw that his father felt even more aggrieved. Yu Shui stood aside and told him everything that happened in the general's mansion.

Guijun was relieved to see Wen Shubai standing here safely.

"I also heard about the fire at the General's Mansion. Fortunately, you are okay."

Although you are over thirty years old, you have taken good care of yourself and are favored by the Queen, so your face looks rosy.

Afterwards, he took Wen Shubai to sit aside and asked him, "Have you consummated your marriage with the young master of the general's mansion?"

Hearing his father ask so directly, Wen Shubai lowered his head a little embarrassedly.

"No."

Gu Qingyuan had always wanted to force him, even going so far as to drug him. Later, he accidentally swapped the positions of the tea, and she drank the spiked water as a result.

Guijun was surprised. He didn't expect that after so long of marriage, the two children still hadn't consummated their marriage.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Does she have any unspeakable secrets?"

There would definitely not be any problem with his own son. Moreover, when Gu Qingyuan asked General Gu to ask His Majesty to marry his son, he thought the two of them should have been married long ago.

Wen Shubai bit his lip and said, "...I don't want to."

Guijun frowned and asked, "Why?"

Wen Shubai sat up straighter. "Back then, when the Queen Mother forced me to marry her against my will, did you ever consider my feelings?"

Guijun quickly covered his mouth and scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense! Doesn't your mother love you enough? If she hears what you said, she will be so sad."

Wen Shubai felt even more disappointed. Even his father said so. Everyone was like this. No one ever cared about his feelings.

He said even more boldly: "Love me? You just want to use me to win over the Gu family. I'm just a chess piece, a chess piece with no control over its own destiny."

Guijun was really angry. He raised his hand and slapped him. He gasped and said, "It seems that you have really been spoiled. You don't know what to say or what not to say. Have you thrown the books I asked you to read before?"

Guijun, who is usually gentle and rarely gets angry, is really angry with Wen Shubai.

After receiving the slap, Wen Shubai sat there in shock, with the slap mark on his face very obvious. He looked at Guijun and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"It turns out that after growing up, even my father and his wife are no longer my support."

Then he stood up, closed his eyes, and opened them again.

"I am sorry for disturbing you, father. I will leave the palace now..."

Tears were already welling up in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Today, his wife went to another man's house to propose marriage, and his father slapped him again...

His mother was probably also working at this time. She would care about the heir and her sisters, but she would not care about herself.

No matter how glorious and glorious he appears to the world, it is actually just an illusion...

It was already 9:00 PM when Gu Qingyuan and General Gu arrived at Qi's house. The betrothal gifts filled several large carriages, and people on the street couldn't help but sigh when they saw them.

"That day, the young master of the General's Mansion received the embroidered bouquet, and the General's Mansion immediately came to the Qi family to propose marriage. Such a grand ceremony is really enviable."

"Yes, yes, then Master Qi is also a blessed person."

"But I heard that the young master of the General's Mansion likes to beat people. I'm afraid that the young master of the Qi family will be beaten if he marries her."

"You don't understand. What man doesn't go through this? Once they marry, they belong to that place. As long as they're not beaten to death, who cares?"

Gu Qingyuan didn't know what they were talking about. He just saw the people nodding, shaking their heads and sighing.

After arriving at the Qi family, Qi Ziyao also came down from the attic and stood there awkwardly, unable to help but look at Gu Qingyuan again and again.
