Hearing Su Qing’s words, when Lin Xiaoyue looked at Wen Wan across from her again, her heart felt a bit complicated.
All that floated in her mind was the phrase, "It can be seen that woman is exceptionally well-raised."
She thought of when she just married Su Qing, those sisters-in-law in the Su Family Mansion, smiling warmly in front of her, but behind her back calling her a country bumpkin raised by nouveau riche, uncultured and lacking insight, full of the stench of money.
Every girl wants to be a refined lady of the boudoir, well-versed in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting in a prestigious family, but not everyone has the fate to be one.
She grew up in a family of rchants, dressing as a young man to follow her father outside to play, accustod to freedom and looseness. After marrying into the Su family, she also worked hard to learn the rules.
But such a thing as nature, how can it be changed just by saying it?
Facing matters, she could only be direct, unable to ticulously consider everything.
She always knew she had gaps compared to others, but this "gap" being ntioned for the first ti by her husband made her feel quite defeated.
Even if it was just a casual complint to others from her husband, it gave her a heavy ntal blow.
As things stood, Lin Xiaoyue no longer had the intention to et Wen Wan, her mind was full of thoughts that she was an uncultured, rude country bumpkin.
If she had thought a bit more about the matter just now, she wouldn’t have had to be "reasoned" by her husband, and the gap between her and Wen Wan wouldn’t have widened so much in just one day.
Indeed, without comparison, there is no harm.
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyelids drooped as she walked along the street, no longer wanting to care about Wen Wan’s occasional gaze falling on her.
Su Qing ca up in large strides, his deep gaze staying on her for a mont, "Are you being petty?"
"Don’t bother !" Lin Xiaoyue was very irritated, not wanting to say a word.
Su Qing, being naturally cold and indifferent, having a little patience with her was already very rare. Hearing her words, he directly fell into silence and indeed didn’t bother her again.
The two didn’t take a carriage, walking one behind the other, the coachman driving the carriage leisurely beside them.
After a while, Lin Xiaoyue suddenly stopped, turned around, intending to say sothing, and unexpectedly bumped into a solid human wall.
She let out a muffled hum, took half a step back, frowned, and looked up at the tall man in front of her, "Why do you walk without making a sound?"
Su Qing didn’t argue about who told him not to speak, his deanor remained stern, "Cald down?"
"Go ho!" Lin Xiaoyue waved to the coachman to stop, lifting her skirt to get into the carriage.
After so many years used to her capriciousness, Su Qing said nothing, letting the coachman park the carriage to the side and got in with her.
Lin Xiaoyue leaned against the side wall, eyes closed, still looking like she didn’t want to pay attention to anyone.
Su Qing reached out and took a book from the side rack to flip through casually.
He wasn’t fond of reading, purely doing it to pass the ti.
Lin Xiaoyue pretended to sleep for a while, hearing no movent, she quietly opened a slit of her eyes, saw the man with his head down, all focused on the book, she sighed, "Weren’t you quite talkative on the street just now? Why so silent now?"
Su Qing closed the book and put it back, looking at her, a faint smile in his eyes, "What would Yue Niang like to say?"
Lin Xiaoyue fully opened her eyes, "Oh, you are the master. What you want to say still needs my permission?"
Su Qing raised his lips, "I just casually complinted soone else, did you have to get so jealous?"
"Oh, Mr. Qi, cut it out!" Lin Xiaoyue directly poured cold water on him, "Even if you brought ten or eight concubines into the house, I’m not sure I’d be jealous, let alone complinting a married woman. Go ahead, praise her to the sky if you can? See if I’m jealous or not."
"Then what are you angry about?" Su Qing’s eyes lost their smile.
The doctor said that pregnant won are sensitive and prone to mood swings, he wanted to know if she was like this too.
Married for four years, Lin Xiaoyue was always straightforward in everything, seemingly a bit carefree, in so things, he couldn’t even ascertain her true attitude.
Like today, he actually preferred that she was really jealous because he praised soone else.
"What else could I be angry about, angry at myself for not asuring up!" Lin Xiaoyue mumbled softly, then ca alive again as if charged, "If I don’t asure up, I’ll learn. I don’t believe there’s anything in this world I can’t learn. When I first ca to the Su Family, wasn’t I clueless too? Over these years, though not entirely transford, at least I’ve seriously learned what I should. What does Mr. Qi think?"
