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

Before the rain came back, Gu Qingyuan had already sent people to look for him and the two followers and the groom who had followed Wen Shubai before.

Wen Shubai's watery eyes looked at Gu Qingyuan pitifully, making her heart soften.

She wanted to raise her hand to touch his face, but she was afraid that he would get stressed, so she retracted her hand and said, "You were frightened today. You will be fine after a good sleep."

She didn't ask any questions, but just picked up a handkerchief, wet it with warm water and wiped his face. Then she asked other servants in Wen Shubai's courtyard to find his clothes and put them aside.

Although Wen Shubai is her husband and the first one to marry into the family, Gu Qingyuan is not very close to him.

She knew that he was resisting her, so when she wiped his face, she was prepared to be rejected by him.

But maybe he was frightened, because when the handkerchief touched his face, he did not struggle. Instead, he closed his eyes and let her touch his face.

After the rain stopped, Gu Qingyuan planned to get up and leave.

When Yu Shui saw Wen Shubai, he rushed towards him with tears and snot, but Wen Shubai didn't let him get close because he disliked his dirtiness.

Yu Shui stood about a meter away from Wen Shubai and said, "Master, thank goodness you're okay... I shouldn't have left you today. If it weren't for the young master, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see you again!"

Wen Shubai was still frightened when he thought about what happened today. He patted his chest and said, "Yes, thanks to the young master for showing up."

Yu Shui knelt down towards Gu Qingyuan and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"Master, thank you for saving our master."

"No need to be so polite. Your master is also from the General's Mansion. It's my responsibility to rescue him."

However, when Wen Shubai heard her say that she was from the General's Mansion, he thought to himself, am I not also hers?

The groom and his followers also came back. They knew they had failed to protect Wen Shubai, so they went to receive their punishment.

Wen Shubai sent Yu Shui away and called Gu Qingyuan over alone.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Qingyuan looked at him with a worried look on her face.

Wen Shubai shook his head, and when he was sure that he and Gu Qingyuan were the only ones in the room, he took off his clothes.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Seeing that he had taken off his shirt, revealing his white chest, Gu Qingyuan reached out to grab his arm.

She scratched her head and said, "Are you upset? I... I don't want to..."

Wen Shubai saw her flushed face and knew that she might have misunderstood. He lowered his head and explained, "I just wanted the young master to check my body... I haven't been touched by them... They wanted to touch me, but I kept struggling, so they didn't even touch the corner of my clothes."

Afterwards, he grabbed Gu Qingyuan's hand again to prove his innocence to her.

It was dry there.

Gu Qingyuan was stunned. In her opinion, Wen Shubai's action was indeed a bit bold.

When she first came here, he threatened her with death and wouldn't let her touch him.

She retracted her hand, feeling as if she had touched a hot potato, and was unusually shy.

Gu Qingyuan coughed lightly, trying to calm herself down.

"Um, are you feeling any other discomfort? Do you want me to call a doctor for you?"

Wen Shubai shook his head and asked her, "Young Master, do you believe what I say?"

"Of course I believe it," Gu Qingyuan said quickly, but worried that he would think she was not sincere enough, she added, "As long as you are okay."

If anything happens to him, I'm afraid His Majesty will definitely cause trouble for their family.

"Those people have been killed by me. I will have someone keep this matter secret, so you don't have to think about it anymore."

What happened today will definitely leave a shadow in his heart. Gu Qingyuan plans to keep this matter to himself and never mention it again.

Wen Shubai smiled, pursed his lips, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

After that, Gu Qingyuan walked out and told Yu Shui to take good care of Wen Shubai tonight and report to him in time if he felt unwell.

Yu Shui went to the kitchen and cooked some soup, but Wen Shubai had no appetite.

Suddenly, Yu Shui thought of something and said, "This is the soup that the young master ordered to be cooked for the master."

Wen Shubai then picked it up and took a few sips.

After drinking the soup, Wen Shubai said he wanted to take a bath.

He rubbed his body with the towel again and again. He wanted to tell her that he didn't get himself dirty today and that she shouldn't dislike him.

But if it were him, he would probably overthink what happened today.

Wen Shubai suddenly felt a little scared.

I was afraid that Gu Qingyuan would really dislike me because of this incident and stay away from me from now on.

He leaned against the edge of the bathtub and didn't get out until the water had cooled down. Yu Shui was worried about him and came over.

"Master, you've been soaking for so long, it's time to get up."

Wen Shubai asked Yu Shui: "If it were you, what would you think of what happened today?"

Yu Shui was confused and didn't quite understand what their master was saying.

He replied: "Forgive me for being dull and not understanding what the master is saying."

Wen Shubai murmured to himself again: "Actually, she doesn't believe it either, right?"

Yu Shui didn't understand what he was mumbling, so she picked up a towel and wiped his body. Wen Shubai was very emotional and asked him to go out.

Yushui: "Master, calm down!"

But Wen Shubai pointed outside to let the rain go out, so the rain had to leave first, but he kept an eye on the movements inside the house.

Wen Shubai wiped himself again and again with a towel. It was obviously nothing, but he felt dirty. She must mind too, right?

What if he scrapes off all this skin?

His eyes fell on the knife under his pillow.

Yu Shui was becoming more and more restless outside, and came to Gu Qingyuan's door, asking Chunfen to call Gu Qingyuan.

Gu Qingyuan was about to go to bed, but when he heard Yu Shui calling him over, he walked out.

"Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on your master? Why are you here?"

Yu Shui replied, "I prepared a bath for our master earlier. He soaked for a long time without moving, so I went to see him. He asked me another strange question and kicked me out... Now I'm afraid only the young master can persuade our master."

Gu Qingyuan kicked open the door of Wen Shubai's room without hesitation.

But I saw him raising the knife and slashing it towards his skin!

Gu Qingyuan snatched the knife from his hand without a second thought and shouted, "Wen Shubai, what are you doing?"

Wen Shubai's arm began to bleed, but he seemed not to feel the pain and reached out to grab the knife from Gu Qingyuan's hand.

Gu Qingyuan threw the knife outside, then tore off a piece of his clothes and wrapped it around his bleeding arm.

"Weren't you fine just now? What happened to you?"
