39. Chapter 39
"Why did you come back so late today? Why are you so full of alcohol?" Shen Xinyan walked up to meet her, a strong smell of alcohol hit her nostrils, and she couldn't help frowning.
"I went to Qiao Lao Liu's house to collect debts, and by the way, had a corrupt dinner there." Wei Junhang was already a little drunk, so he didn't notice her expression and replied with a smile.
"Go wash first, and change into clean clothes." Shen Xinyan hurriedly supported him, instructing Xia He to prepare hot water, and Chun Liu to serve the hangover soup.
When he turned around, he saw Wei Junhang's cheeks were slightly red from the smell of alcohol, and he just looked at her and smiled, and for some reason, his heart softened.
"Why do you drink so much alcohol? It smells like alcohol all over your body, and it's a blessing that Ying'er isn't here now. If she were there, she would definitely dislike you." She wet the handkerchief and washed his face for him, blaming .
Wei Junhang hiccups: "How many Ying'er? Why are they missing?"
"Don't you look at what time it is now? Usually they should go to bed at this time." Shen Xinyan replied helplessly.
"Yes, I came back late today." Wei Junhang's head was dizzy, and he only knew that he was amused by the face in front of him that he couldn't get tired of seeing.
How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world? And such a beautiful woman is his wife, the mother of his children...
Facing such a face that could only smirk at herself, Shen Xinyan found that she was full of dissatisfaction, but she couldn't express it at all. She only poked his forehead unwillingly, and took the hangover brought by Chunliu. The soup was fed to him by himself.
"You are not allowed to get drunk again in the future, I despise alcoholics!" In the end, she put down her words in a huff.
When he heard it, his wife would dislike it, and Shizi Wei immediately sat up straight, shook his head and waved his hands, "I don't drink anymore, I don't drink anymore, and I don't drink anymore."
He was so obedient that Shen Xinyan gave birth to the illusion that she had raised another son, so she shook her head and put aside this strange thought.
After Wei Junhang took a bath and changed his clothes, the sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and the lamps lit everywhere in the mansion illuminated the Grand Duke's mansion.
"Ma'am..." Wei Junhang always felt a little guilty when he returned from drinking and smelled alcohol in the house.
Shen Xinyan didn't notice, she glanced at him angrily, and continued to turn to the mirror from Ruyi Pavilion, combing her hair.
"I'll help you." Wei Junhang hurriedly came over to please, grabbed the comb in her hand, and brushed the waterfall-like blue silk for her awkwardly.
The silky strands of hair slipped from his fingers, leaving traces of fragrance behind. He held onto a handful of long hair with some love, and used a comb to run it very gently. Suddenly, four words flashed in his mind - hair knot. couple.
"Okay, no need to comb anymore, sit down, I have something to tell you." Shen Xinyan hurriedly tugged at the corner of his clothes when she noticed that he had been combing for a long time.
Wei Junhang reluctantly stopped when he heard the words, and sat down on the embroidered pier in front of her obediently.
"Madam, please speak."
"I want to do a business with someone, and only use my dowry money, not the government's, what do you think?" Although the woman's dowry money is entirely under her control, even her husband has no right to intervene, but Shen Xinyan felt that , Since they are husband and wife, there is no need to hide from him.
"Naturally no problem. If you don't have enough money, I still have it here." Unsurprisingly, Wei Junhang agreed without any objection.
"Why don't you ask me who I work with and what kind of business I do?" Seeing that he didn't ask anything, Shen Xinyan couldn't help it.
"What's wrong with me, Madam? Besides, since Madam has made this decision, she must have thought about it carefully. Besides, to put it badly, it's nothing to lose at all. I still have me at home!" Wei Junhang Disapprove.
Mrs. is not that kind of person who doesn't know the importance. After so many years of husband and wife, he still believes in her very much.
"However, if Madam needs my help with anything, just say it, you and I don't need to be polite."
Shen Xinyan smiled.
"What you are saying is that there is no need to be polite between husband and wife. If there is anything you really need to be your son, I will naturally not be polite to you."
This unreserved trust made a warm current in her heart. Although Mrs. Xu said that "the husband is not reliable, the child may not be reliable," but she felt that if the other party gave her sincere respect and trust, she should return the same respect and trust. This is the way husband and wife get along.
After realizing this, she coughed, looked into the depths of Wei Junhang's eyes, and said word by word, "There is one more thing, I want to hear from you."
Seeing that her attitude was much more serious, Wei Junhang immediately straightened his back and said sternly, "Madam, it's okay to say it!"
"I heard some rumors today that you built the outer room, but the outer room is still located in Bali Hutong. I wonder if this is the case?"
"Which bastard made itβ" Wei Junhang got angry when he heard it, slapped his thigh, and blurted out the curse, only when he heard the four characters "Bali Hutong", his face changed, and the angry words stopped abruptly.
Seeing him like this, Shen Xinyan's heart 'tickled'.
Could it be true? !
"Where did Madam hear these words? How do you know about Bali Hutong?" Wei Junhang's heart sank, and he asked nervously with a faint feeling of unpleasantness.
Shen Xinyan only felt that a heart was falling.
If she had just said that she still felt that Xu Sumin's remarks that "only you can be reliable" were too extreme, but now she has to admit, husband, maybe it is really not reliable.
"Today, I was planning to go to Linglong Pavilion to choose a birthday present for the princess, but unexpectedly I heard a few old ladies discussing the matter in private in the garden. I thought..." Shen Xinyan's eyes darkened and she took a deep breath. He continued, "Later, I met Sister Luo on the way back to the mansion, the wife of Li Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, and learned about it from her mouth. She also told me about this Bali Hutong."
Wei Junhang's face was dignified, but he didn't even notice that there was something wrong with her expression. Hearing this, he frowned, completely immersed in his own thoughts.
Seeing this, Shen Xinyan was even more disappointed, and the corner of her mouth twitched bitterly.
Pressing down the sadness that floated in her heart, she reluctantly pulled a smile that was several times uglier than crying and said, "If you really fancy a girl, take her back to the house, I'm not that kind of person. Waiting for someone who is jealous and jealous, is it possible that they will stop him?"
"Now that it's out of this outer room, it's spread outside. I'm afraid that my mother will know about it soon. If my mother knows, it must be not far from my father's knowledge. Isn't there another uproar?"
"In my opinion, it's better to take advantage of now..."
"I still have some urgent matters. I'll go out for a while. Madam sleeps first if she's sleepy. You don't have to wait for me!" Wei Junhang interrupted her suddenly, and hurriedly put on a coat and ran out without waiting for her to answer.
Shen Xinyan stared blankly at the back of his disappearing speed. After a while, she bit her lips and lowered her head slowly, hiding her red eyes.
"Madam, Shizi he..." Seeing that Wei Junhang left suddenly and hastily, Qiutang, who was full of doubts, lifted the curtain and came in, and she was stunned when she saw her like this.
"Nothing, Shizi has something to do, so he will go out first." Shen Xinyan turned her face away and wiped away the tears in her eyes, calmly speaking.
Qiutang pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "Has the madam asked Shizi about the outer chamber?"
Shen Xinyan felt another pain in her heart, but she still managed to restrain herself: "I asked."
"Then what did the eldest son say? This must be fake, right? I don't know which one who killed a thousand knives said such a thing. It must not be a good thing for others, and such people with bad intentions should be killed with a thousand knives. Die, or else..." Qiu Tang didn't know what she was talking about, she only had a feeling that she wanted to stop what Mrs. Shizi said next.
"...Maybe it's true!" It's a pity that Shen Xinyan's incomparably clear words still came to her ears.
"Really?!!" She widened her eyes in disbelief, and stammered, "Yes, yes, was it admitted by the world, the son of the world, or personally?"
Shen Xinyan nodded, then shook her head, and then nodded again, leaving Qiutang, who was nervously waiting for her answer, bewildered.
"Madam is nodding and shaking her head again, what does it mean?"
"Although he didn't say it clearly, only his actions told me that this matter should be true."
She wanted to live a good life with him in this life, but she thought that he would make such a big "surprise" for herself, and Shen Xinyan felt uncomfortable.
She once thought that the only man around her in her two lives was worthy of her trust and worthy of her sacrifice. But in the end, he let himself down.
But fortunately, she didn't invest a lot, and it was too late to save everything.
Seeing her disheartened appearance, Qiutang's heart tightened, and she squatted in front of her, holding her hand and said softly, "Since I didn't say it clearly, it can be seen that things may not be true. This action, Xu suddenly remembered the important things that have not been done, and did not notice the lady, which caused the lady to have such a misunderstanding."
"Madam, why don't you wait until the son-in-law comes back and ask in detail. In any case, there is still Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in the mansion!"
Wei Junhang, who was in the room, hurried out the door, unaware that his unintentional actions made his wife misunderstood.
He came to a secluded second-entry house in a hurry, raised his legs in a rage and kicked at the door, shouting, "Heizi, Heizi, get out of here for me!!"
"How come you don't have eyes... Wei Shizi, you are old!" The young round face who opened the door scolded, only seeing the person outside the door, he immediately changed his smile and greeted him diligently.
"Where's Heizi? Let him come out to see Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is about to be killed by him!"
"The leader is not here, today is the day when the leader is on duty."
"Yes! I almost lost my head. It's useless to find Heizi for this matter. We have to find the culprit!!" Wei Junhang slapped his forehead and immediately woke up.
"You prepare a carriage for me, immediately, immediately!"
"Master Shi, it's getting dark at the moment, and you are so sudden and unprepared, even if you want to see the master, you can't see it!" Xiao Yuan face said bitterly.
"There are so many bad rules in his place!!" Wei Junhang scolded, and suddenly thought, "No, you are trying to bluff me! I don't believe that you don't have an emergency plan. It is possible that there is an urgent matter, you guys. Or do you have to wait until the door opens at dawn?"
The little round face was secretly relieved, but when she heard it, her face suddenly wrinkled into a bitter gourd face.
"Tell me, did you know that I would come, so you are waiting for me here on purpose!" Wei Junhang asked gloomily, grabbing his collar.
"No, no, absolutely no, definitely not, I wouldn't dare to kill me!"
Wei Junhang sneered: "You don't dare, Heizi doesn't have the courage, but the one in the palace is not necessarily, that guy can even be my own wife in my outer room, what else is he afraid to do? of!"
