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

Gu Qingyuan looked at her bed and raised her hand to knock her head. She looked around at the furnishings in her room and curled her lips slightly.

How could I have such a dream? It's so outrageous.

The residual feeling under her body reminded her, but when she lifted the quilt, her clothes were back on.

Could it be that I miss him too much?

Wen Shubai felt as lost as she did, because he had limited time to sleep and had to come back as soon as possible, otherwise he would continue to sleep.

Yu Shui was still sitting outside, yawning again and again, thinking that since the master didn't move at all, he must have fallen asleep.

Wen Shubai was in the house with a smile on his face. Even if it could only happen in his dreams, he was content.

The academy has already closed for farm work, and except for some nobles in the capital, those who have farmland at home have also gone back to help.

Ye Li returned home from Beijing. When he got home, he was called over by his mother.

"Mother."

He lowered his head and clenched his fingers together.

When the Jiangzhou prefect saw him, he asked sternly, "How have you performed in the academy? Can you take first place in next year's imperial examination?"

Ye Li gritted his teeth and looked up at the woman sitting there, his mother.

"There's still some confidence," he replied.

He went to the academy to replace his sister's identity, and after things were successful, his sister would take over.

The prefect looked at him with a slightly softer expression. "I know you're not convinced, but you're a man after all. What's the point of reading so many books? It would be better to give your fame to your sister. Then your sister can bring fame to our Ye family."

Ye Li lowered his head again, the door of the study opened, and a woman who looked somewhat similar to him walked in. She was also the real Ye Li.

"Fifth brother."

The real Ye Li patted his shoulder. There was still an indescribable smell on her body, as if she had just walked out of a man's room.

"Second sister." He called softly.

Then the real Ye Li walked up to the prefect and sat down carefree, in stark contrast to the reserved Ye Wu standing beside him.

When Ye's mother looked at Ye Li, her eyes were much kinder. "When your brother passes the imperial examination, you can go directly there. I know someone in the court who will help you keep it a secret."

Ye Li nodded and casually mentioned it to Ye Wu who was still standing there.

"You're not a child anymore. I think there's a good family on South Street who's willing to pay fifty taels of silver for you as a concubine. You can marry into their family."

Ye Wu's eyes widened in shock. He took a step back in disbelief, shaking his head desperately.

"I don't want to get married."

His second sister often goes out to fool around, so what kind of decent people can she meet?

Besides, he doesn't want to get married at all.

Ye Wu looked at his mother pleadingly and asked her, "Mother, if I can help my second sister pass the imperial examination, can you please not marry me off?"

Mother Ye looked at him and said perfunctorily, "We'll talk about it later."

Ye Wu's heart sank. He looked at his second sister and then at his mother.

It was not until Ye's mother waved her hand and asked him to go back that he walked out with heavy steps, a look of confusion in his eyes.

When he was in the academy, he could still deceive himself, but when he returned home and saw his mother's different attitudes towards him and his four sisters, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

The eldest sister Ye Lin has already started a family and a career, and the second sister Ye Li and herself are born of the same father, so the two look so similar, otherwise it cannot be hidden.

Normally, when he went to the academy, his second sister would stay somewhere else to avoid being recognized.

His third and fourth sisters were only two years older than him. Both of them failed the provincial examination, but their mother still comforted them and treated them well.

He looked back at the study and felt that he seemed out of place in the Ye family.

Even his own room was converted from a servant's room.

His father was his mother's concubine. He usually only thought about how to dress himself to attract his mother's attention and had no time to care about him and his second sister.

Ye Li returned to his cramped and dark room, tears streaming down his face.

He hated his identity so much. If he were a woman, would things be different?

……

Because of the dream she had, Gu Qingyuan felt a little guilty when facing Wen Shubai.

Even if I meet him normally, I can't help but think of the scene in my dream.

But he would intentionally or unintentionally hang around in front of her, asking her if she wanted to try the snacks he just made, or if she wanted to sit in his yard.

She shook her head and said she had something else to do. Wen Shubai looked like a deflated ball, a little lost.

At night, Wen Shubai still tried to use forbidden techniques to enter her dream.

This time the scene was in her own yard.

Gu Qingyuan clearly remembered that after meeting him in the evening, she went back and he also returned to Meiyuan. How come she saw him again in the blink of an eye?

"Wen Shubai?" she called him uncertainly.

Wen Shubai had a gentle smile on his face, and his voice sounded like he was being coquettish. "My wife, are you calling me by my name? Is there something wrong?"

It was a dream. Only in a dream would he call himself like that. Gu Qingyuan came back to his senses.

It was just a dream anyway, and no one else would know as long as she didn't say it. With this thought in mind, Gu Qingyuan walked towards him.

Wen Shubai's heart beat faster and faster as he watched her getting closer to him.

Until there was less than half a step between the two people.

Wen Shubai took the initiative to hug her arm and leaned on her shoulder.

"Wife, why don't you come to see me?"

His hair was soft, and a few strands of hair rubbed against her neck as he moved, making her neck itchy.

It was like a feather tickling the tip of her heart.

Gu Qingyuan casually picked up a few strands of his hair, smiled gently, and asked him: "Why, do you miss me?"

Wen Shubai nodded, his voice filled with grievance.

"But I'm the first man my wife married. Doesn't she dislike me?"

He desperately wanted an answer, and was too embarrassed to ask in reality, so he asked directly in his dream.

Wen Shubai felt that his courage had grown in his dream.

Gu Qingyuan liked playing with his ears. When she pinched his earlobe, his whole body tensed up. His earlobe turned slightly red, extending to the entire ear.

"Yes, it's a little itchy."

Although he said so, he was reluctant to let Gu Qingyuan let him go.

Gu Qingyuan hooked his chin and leaned close to him. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyelashes cast a shadow, and then he closed his eyes obediently.

He felt a warm sensation and pinched his leg to stay calm.

If only it could always be like this, he was looking forward to what would happen next, anticipating her next move.
