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

Chapter 117 Chat

War has begun.

Only after Gu Qingyuan experienced the cruelty of war firsthand did he realize how rare peace is.

She took advantage of the chaos to leave the city, intending to meet General Gu as soon as possible.

She didn't know how long she walked, until her legs were almost numb, before she saw the people from General Gu's side.

She, Gu, is back again!

……

In the general's mansion.

If it weren't for Yu Shui's strict defense, Wen Shubai would probably have committed suicide when he wasn't paying attention.

At this time, Wen Shubai was sitting on the bed, not saying a word.

He looked exactly the same as when Gu Qingyuan rescued him from the fire. The difference was that at that time he had the young master with him, but now he was sitting there alone, looking thin.

"Master, have something to eat."

Yu Shui brought a bowl of porridge, picked up a spoon, and put it to his mouth. But he clenched his teeth tightly. If Yu Shui hadn't used a spoon to pry open his teeth and fed him a little porridge, he would have starved to death.

The originally beautiful eyes now looked lifeless, as if covered with dust, and looked gray.

Yu Shui sighed and said, "Master, even if you don't eat, you should drink some water, right?"

The weather is so hot, you have to drink some water to replenish your water even if you don’t eat.

Wen Shubai seemed to have not heard his words and was immersed in his own world.

Yu Shui put the bowl down, turned around and sighed heavily.

"Ugh……"

He didn't dare let his master out of his sight, so at night he simply sat on the ground to watch over his master.

Suddenly, he thought of something and said to him, "Master, it seems like you haven't been to the palace for a long time. Why don't we go in to see His Majesty and the noble lord?"

After hearing about the Queen and the Noble Lord, Wen Shubai finally had some reaction, but he just shook his head, and his lips looked a little dry due to lack of water.

"Don't go."

The two words that came out of his mouth were a rejection.

Yu Shui couldn't think of anything else that could attract his master's attention, so he paced back and forth in the house anxiously.

Like an ant on a hot pan, he was running around in circles in a panic.

Wen Shubai leaned on the bed, looking extremely haggard. He didn't believe that she was willing to leave him like this, but he tried to sense her dream but couldn't.

He had never felt so depressed before, and felt that his body was in pain every time he breathed.

Even now, when he wanted to cry, his tears could hardly flow. He had cried so many times because of her.

After Gu Qingyuan went to Xiancheng, Ji Mingzhao from Zhuyuan couldn't help but find things to do.

He asked someone to buy some softer cloth, intending to sew some clothes for his future children. Although these things can be bought in the future, he felt that what he did still had a different meaning.

At this time, two small pieces of clothing were placed on the table, and he began to sew tiger-head shoes for the child.

The tiger-head shoes are very cute. The little tiger's big black eyes are staring at Ji Mingzhao as he continues to thread the needle, and a hint of tenderness involuntarily appears on his face.

Suddenly, while he was sewing shoes, he heard some noise outside. Thinking that Gu Qingyuan had returned, he went out happily.

But he was a little disappointed when he saw that the person coming was Wen Shubai. Wen Shubai also noticed his undisguised expression, but Wen Shubai did not care about it.

In front of outsiders, Wen Shubai returned to his usual aloofness, walked past Ji Mingzhao and went in.

When he saw the tiger-head shoes that Ji Mingzhao had placed on the table, he picked them up.

Ji Mingzhao stood aside in a panic, his hands tugging at the corner of his clothes anxiously. Why did the young master's husband suddenly come here?

Seeing his uneasiness, Wen Shubai said, "Don't worry, I just couldn't find anyone to talk to, so I came here to talk to you."

But Ji Mingzhao was still afraid.

He could not forget that when he was in the Shangshu Mansion, his mother's husband would beat those servants and their children to death, scolding them for being seducers and that their children would be bastards.

His timid appearance made Wen Shubai doubt how much Gu Qingyuan liked him, and he completely forgot that he was even more timid than he looked.

"sit down."

Wen Shubai instructed him.

Ji Mingzhao walked to the opposite side of him and sat down gently on the stool, but his body was tense and he looked nervous and scared.

Wen Shubai suppressed his impatience and said, "What are you afraid of? I won't hurt you."

Hearing her say that he would not hurt herself, Ji Mingzhao relaxed a little, but he kept his hands in front of himself in a defensive posture.

Even if he doesn't think about himself, he has to consider his own and the young master's children.

"If you...if you have anything to say, just say it."

Ji Mingzhao raised his head, looked at him, and finally mustered up the courage to say a complete sentence.

Wen Shubai asked him, "If, I mean if, it's not true, the young master is gone, what will you do?"

Ji Mingzhao said without thinking: "Impossible."

"What's impossible?"

"Young Master is so powerful, she will definitely be alive and well. There is no way she is not here."

In his heart, Gu Qingyuan was like a god. He believed in her and believed that she would not leave him easily.

"you……"

Wen Shubai didn't expect such an answer.

After she learned that Gu Qingyuan might be gone, the first thing she thought of was to go with her, but she didn't expect that this concubine believed in her ability so much.

Ji Mingzhao tilted his head and asked him again: "Did you come to me just to ask me this question?"

He always felt that the young master's husband was a little strange today.

Wen Shubai didn't want to tell him about this, so he turned around, picked up the two small clothes made by Ji Mingzhao and asked, "Did you make this yourself?"

Ji Mingzhao nodded, a little embarrassed, "This is my first time making children's clothes, so they might not look good."

He didn't know what styles were popular in the market now, so he could only make them according to what he had seen before.

After chatting with Ji Mingzhao for a few sentences, Wen Shubai suddenly felt that he might not trust her enough.

Yes, she is so powerful, how could she leave so easily?

He would try again tonight. Maybe it was just his ability that failed, not that she had an accident.

Wen Shubai put down his clothes, said "thank you", and left.

Ji Mingzhao looked at his back, feeling confused and bewildered. He simply stopped thinking about it and went back to making shoes.

In addition to tiger-head shoes, other styles of shoes can also be made. He is free at home anyway.

If the young master were here, he would definitely not let me do these things, but it doesn’t matter, as long as she doesn’t know.

Ji Mingzhao picked up the unfinished shoes and continued to sew them, his eyes full of seriousness.

After Wen Shubai returned, he felt better and finally agreed to eat.

Yu Shui hurriedly served him tea and water and brought him food.
