Chapter 915 This guy changed his tactics insidiously
Shi Chengxuan was ultimately unable to set out for Tiema City, but the news that he would leave in the early spring of the following year spread so widely that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion knew about it.
He decided to move back to the Marquis' Mansion as he could no longer stay with Madam Gu.
He was not stupid and had seen the disgust in Madam Gu's eyes.
Madam Gu would never be like this before. Ever since she knew that Tang Chujun was Mr. Chu Sheng, she has become cold-tempered.
Oh! Women are really unreliable! They are fickle.
Shi Chengxuan wanted to save face, so he went back to the Marquis' Mansion and acted like an old man. "The New Year is coming soon. After the New Year, I will go to Tiema City. If you have anything to bring to your sister, you can prepare it early."
He sat at the head of the table with a solemn expression, acting like an old man, as if he was about to get down to business after a dissolute life.
Shi Yunqi was busy with official duties and ignored him. Wei Cailing was busy with menial affairs and ignored him.
His illegitimate sons and daughters were too busy with schoolwork and needlework to pay attention to him.
This old man was so boring that he asked Chang Wu, "Should I not come back?"
Chang Wu said, "In the Gu family, we are dependent on others after all. Besides, Madam Gu is a woman. If you live there for a long time, it will affect her reputation."
As a result, he couldn't even hold his head up among the servants of the Gu family. Everyone thought that his master was a gigolo and refused to leave the Gu family.
Shi Chengxuan nodded. "I didn't think so much in the past. I think Madam Gu wanted to drive me away a long time ago. I am the father of the Marquis. No matter what, I have to stay in the Marquis's mansion and take charge of the affairs."
"As long as you are happy." Chang Wu replied.
Don't talk about presiding over affairs. Do you have the right to speak? Don't you have any idea?
That day, the Marquis' Mansion received a letter from Shi Anxia reporting that he was safe.
"Let me see it." Shi Chengxuan asked his son.
Shi Yunqi was too lazy to talk to him and just gave him the letter directly.
There was nothing important in the letter, just trivial matters. The itinerary was also vague, only saying that the journey was safe.
Shi Yunqi reminded him, "Return it to me after you finish reading it."
After reading it, Shi Chengxuan returned the letter to his son and complained, "Your sister is also strange. She has to go to Tiema City at this time. I heard that the weather there is extremely cold and there is no food. Is she going to drink the wind?"
After a pause, he continued to complain, "He even took my grandson and granddaughter to drink the wind."
Wei Cailing responded to him, "Xia'er originally wanted to wait until her mother's wedding day before leaving, but she couldn't wait any longer. As soon as Shen Yuanshi said that the child was in good health, she rushed to Tiema City to find her brother-in-law. For this kind of thing, even a day of delay would make people anxious."
Shi Chengxuan didn't hear a word of what was said afterwards. The harsh words "mother's wedding day" made his head buzz.
He felt a tightness in his chest and didn't want to look at his daughter-in-law any more, so he turned around and left.
"Ignore him." Shi Yunqi said to his wife. He took the son from the nurse and rocked him in his arms. "Don't spoil him. If he asks you for money in the future, don't give him a single penny."
"I understand." Wei Cailing raised her hand and patted her son's chest. "Xia'er is very smart. He predicted that father would return to the Marquis' Mansion before the New Year."
"It's not hard to calculate." Shi Yunqi had suffered a lot, and his ability to see through people's hearts was much better than Tang Xinghe and others. "Madam Gu's patience is limited. Although she is grateful, she will not indulge. Once he does not meet his father's wishes, he will rebel and turn around and go back to the Marquis' Mansion. He did this specifically for Madam Gu to see, so that she would think he has a backer."
Wei Cailing smiled and said, "My father behaves like a woman in the boudoir."
"Ha!" Shi Yunqi smiled coldly, "If he behaves himself, the Marquis's Mansion won't need him to eat a single bite. If he doesn't behave himself, I'll kick him out of the Mansion."
He was no longer the bullied boy. He would not tolerate his father bossing his wife around in the mansion, making the place a mess.
He paused for a moment, and said meaningfully, "I think he has other thoughts when he returns home."
This hits the nail on the head.
Shi Chengxuan did have something on his mind. These days, he always lingered at the gate of the Marquis's Mansion, hoping to "accidentally run into" Tang Chujun.
There are some things he has been holding back for a long time and he must make them clear.
That day, Tang Chujun bought a lot of things and came to the Marquis' Mansion to visit his grandson. As soon as he turned around the corridor, he saw Shi Chengxuan standing under a big tree.
The man was wearing a half-worn black cloak, with dead leaves falling on his head.
Objectively speaking, this guy does look quite good when he doesn't talk.
Shi Chengxuan was also looking at Tang Chujun. He saw that the woman was graceful and elegant, with a purple cape that made her skin look like snow. Her eyebrows and eyes were not only not weathered at all, but also charming, and her appearance was even more beautiful than when she was young.
Their eyes met, and Tang Chujun paused slightly, pretending not to see and walked inside.
Shi Chengxuan strode forward to block her way, and before the other party got angry, he suddenly bowed solemnly.
"Mr. Chu." Shi Chengxuan's throat rolled, "I apologize to you on behalf of my mother."
Tang Chujun frowned slightly.
What the hell is this guy trying to do?
He bowed deeply again, his voice trembling, "Thank you for giving birth to a pair of good children for me."
Tang Chujun was stunned and felt that there was something wrong with Shi Chengxuan today.
Shi Chengxuan bowed for the third time, and the loneliness seemed to fall from his shoulders. "May everything go well for you in the future, and you will never have to worry again."
After saying that, he didn't dare to look at her again. He turned around and disappeared into the wind. His back was so desolate that it seemed as if he wanted to blend all his life's regrets into the autumn colors.
Tang Chujun wanted to curse.
This guy is insidious, he has changed his tactics!
But it was useless to her, and she was not moved at all. She was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned a corner, and went to find her daughter-in-law from another way.
Shi Chengxuan felt that if the atmosphere reached this point, his ex-wife would definitely ask him to "stop". After she stopped, he would open his heart and tell her some intimate words.
He walked slowly, waiting for her to call him, and walked quickly because of his worthless self-esteem.
After waiting for a long time, no one called him.
Shi Chengxuan couldn't help but turn his head to look...where was Tang Chujun?
This heartless woman! Shi Chengxuan was so angry that his teeth itched. He thought that when she became the Empress Dowager, he would have to kneel down to greet her when they met again.
Thinking of this, I felt completely depressed.
On the other side, after Shi Anxia stayed in Zhucheng for a few days, Shi Chengyi had prepared the official ship and was ready to set off.
Wu Qicheng, Zhao Zhui and others rode on horseback and continued to travel by land.
There were about thirty people on board.
This included the two sisters Hongque, and her elder sister Musang also went with them.
Chi Shuang was also among them. This girl, however, was not going to Tiema City for the time being. She insisted on getting off the ship in Guicheng, saying that she wanted to see with her own eyes the pass where her brother died in battle and touch the section of the city wall where his blood flowed.
There were two other civilians, Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang, who did not have to follow the military ceremonies and could focus on protecting their cousin and her entourage.
There were three others, many of whom were unknown to many people. Bei Hui had only seen one of them by chance.
That was Zhuo Qiran. He was clearly tall and straight, but his hair was all white, and he looked like he had entered old age.
The other was Zhuo Qiran's nephew Wang Jinglun. This kid insisted on going to Tiema City with his uncle, so Shi Anxia agreed.
The last one was the reason why Shi Anxia had to stay in Zhucheng. She came here specifically to pick this person up and go to Tiema City together.
