Chapter 585
Cai Shaoyu slowly lay down in the cabin, covered with a thin silk quilt. She looked at the dark cabin roof and couldn't help but sigh. She couldn't sleep because she couldn't sleep because she was worried about Tao Zhan, but because she didn't know what she was. She was taken to Chengdu by Liu Jing in an almost "forced" way. Has she been his woman from now on?
It doesn't feel very similar. He doesn't seem to take himself seriously, just to take care of her and just to give her a stable life. Is that true?
Cai Shaoyu's heart was in chaos, and an unspeakable regret flowed into her heart unknowingly. She was Liu Jing's fiancée at the time. She should have married Liu Jing, not Liu Cong. Unfortunately, her ignorance and willfulness and father, and her aunt's short-sightedness ruined the marriage and her life.
When she gradually matured and understood the truth, she suddenly realized that she had always liked Liu Jing. It was just that Liu Jing was cold to her and was unwilling to please her, which made her noble heart unbearable. However, Liu Cong pleased her everywhere and coaxed her to satisfy her vanity, and eventually made her confused, so that she knew that Liu Cong was incapable of being a human being, and still wanted to marry him.
Her heart was full of prejudice and pride, and she ended up with such a tragic ending, oh! How despicable and hateful she deserved it!
Cai Shaoyu cursed herself secretly, and her emotions were out of control again, tears gushed out, and she pounced on the quilt and burst into tears again.
...........
Chengdu is already in midsummer in early June, and it is another difficult day of the year. The heat that oppresses people is ruthlessly hot, and even the air seems to flow. Although it is not as unbearable as Xiangyang, there is another kind of heat, which is stuffy, like a steamer, and sweats all the time, whether at home or outside.
Xia Chan screamed at the big tree in the yard. In the room, Tao Zhan replied to Sun Shangxiang in front of the table. It has been almost three months since Sun Shangxiang returned to Jiangdong to visit relatives. During this period, she also wrote several letters. She said that her mother was in a serious condition and she was worried that it would not take long. She would have to accompany her mother for a few more months, and she might not be able to come back until autumn.
Although the weather was stuffy, Tao Zhan maintained the manners of Mrs. Zhou Mu, wearing a wide body and thin dress, and neatly bun. She was seven months pregnant, with a high abdomen and was not yet at the time of birth. However, she was not very adapted to the climate of Chengdu. She was very uncomfortable recently and was actually bleeding, which made the midwife and the doctor very nervous, and she showed signs of miscarriage at this time.
In order to protect the fetus in her womb, she tried to remain calm and maintain a peaceful state.
‘My sister Shang Xiang, I can’t worry when I hear that my aunt is seriously ill. I hope God will bless my aunt to recover gradually. I also hope that you don’t be too sad and take care of your health. You can return smoothly when the leaves fall in autumn’
After writing this, Tao Zhan pondered for a moment. She looked at the letter written by her husband next to her and continued to write: "The family is still in good condition, and the little guy in his belly is often naughty, but compared to Zhi'er, this little guy was much quieter. I think she should be a girl. I also hope to have a daughter and be considerate of my mother as much as you and I grow up like you.
In addition, after the general returned to Chengdu, he soon went to Jingzhou to inspect and it was time to come back in the past two days. Yesterday, he received a letter from him, saying that he met the down-and-out daughter of the Cai family in Wuchang and brought her back. I don’t know what this means, are there multiple guests in the mansion? Or do I want multiple sisters again?”
Tao Zhan stopped her pen, she sighed softly, and painted the last sentence. Seeing that the handwriting was mottled, she simply tore off the letter paper and took a piece of paper to rewrite it. She didn't want Sun Shangxiang to know her upset.
Just yesterday, she received a quick letter from her husband to send his personal soldiers, saying that his ship had passed Jiangzhou and would go home in a few days. The news made her very happy.
But at the end of the letter, the husband said that he met Cai Shaoyu in Wuchang and was lonely and pitiful, so he decided to take her back to the mansion, which made Tao Zhan feel a little uncomfortable.
If Cai Shaoyu was poor, she could take out a lot of money to make her worry-free in the rest of her life. As the head of the two states, Liu Jing can solve her hardship in just one sentence. Why should she take it home?
Tao Zhan knew as soon as he met Liu Jing, that Liu Jing was actually engaged in a engagement with Cai Shaoyu. It was only because Cai Mao opposed that the engagement was finally cancelled. She suspected that Liu Jing had a little sense of responsibility towards Cai Shaoyu, so she made such a ridiculous decision.
Moreover, as a woman, Tao Zhan is more sensitive than Liu Jing. When she met Cai Shaoyu in her first restaurant, she found that Cai Shaoyu was a little affectionate to Liu Jing. She was afraid that she didn't even realize that although she was no longer Liu Cong's wife, she was only in her early twenties and could remarry. Why did she not want to marry?
Tao Zhan sighed softly. Her husband was not a lustful person, otherwise he would not know how many women he would bring back with him with his power. But she knew that Liu Jing was a passionate person. Military coach Jia also said that this was his biggest weakness. He valued friendship too much. When he married herself, it was because of friendship. Now he treated Cai Shaoyu because of this. I wonder whether this is good or bad? Of course, Tao Zhan felt that valuing love was not a bad thing, but now... she was a little confused.
However, there is one thing she knows very well that since her husband made a decision, she can no longer object and must respect her husband's decision, although she is reluctant to come in.
Thinking of this, Tao Zhan sighed helplessly, and then ordered the maid at the door to say, "A Tao, go and ask Grandma Li, have you cleaned up the Tengmeiyuan?"
The little maid turned around and Tao Zhan thought about it. I wonder if her husband's inner study room was cleaned up. She had to go and see it. She called another maid and said, "Help me up!"
The maid waved her hands repeatedly, "Madam, can't get up!"
Tao Zhan supported himself, lay down slowly, and ordered: "Please go to the master's inner study room to take a look."
Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a maid ran towards him, "Madam, the master is back!"
Tao Zhan was extremely happy and immediately ordered: "Go and tell Bao Niang and welcome the master for me."...
At the gate of the provincial governor's mansion, Liu Jing reached out to Cai Shaoyu and helped her get off the carriage. Cai Shaoyu felt very conflicted. Her self-esteem made her not want to enter this mansion, but she also longed to be a part of this family. She was afraid to see Tao Zhan, but she also hoped to see Tao Zhan. It was this conflicting mentality that made her worried about gains and losses. She didn't know what to do, so she had to obediently follow Liu Jing.
When he walked into the gate, he met a large group of servants and greeted him. There was a pretty little woman in the middle, but not his wife Tao Zhan. Cai Shaoyu also knew her. She was Liu Jing's personal maid, Xiao Baoniang, who later became Liu Jing's concubine.
Bao Niang stepped forward and said a few words to Liu Jing. Liu Jing was shocked and rushed to the inner courtyard. Cai Shaoyu didn't know what to do. Bao Niang stepped forward and smiled at her, "Sister, I want to see you too, please come with me!"
Cai Shaoyu nodded silently and followed Bao Niang to the backyard.
Liu Jing walked into the room quickly and saw his wife struggling to sit up. He hurriedly walked up to support her and complained to her, saying, "If you don't have good health, don't move. Why don't you tell me, alright!"
The husband's care made Tao Zhan feel a sweet feeling in his heart, and the little resentment in his heart also disappeared without a trace in his husband's care. She apologized: "I also want to try my best to save the child, but I'm very scared, if..."
Liu Jing stopped her and continued, "If it really doesn't work, then there is nothing we can do. Let's think about it!"
Liu Jing changed the topic again and turned around and asked Bao Niang, "The children are all okay!"
Xiao Baoniang hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "General, don't worry, the children are all well, and the elder sister will definitely get better."
At this time, Tao Zhan let go of her husband's hand, and with a move, he called Cai Shaoyu to him and smiled: "I know you are coming, I have asked the housekeeper to clean up a yard. If you have any needs, please look for me. I am inconvenient to my health. I can also find Xiao Baoniang. In short, it's just a word. I hope you treat this place as your home."
Tao Zhan's light smile made Cai Shaoyu's nose a little sour and her eyes turned slightly red. She quickly bowed, "Thank you for your love for Shaoyu!"
Tao Zhan smiled and said, "Sit next to me, let's talk a little."
Cai Shaoyu hurriedly stepped forward to support Tao Zhan and sat down beside her. Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and felt really relieved. She had a good wife and a tolerant heart. She also got up and held Xiao Baoniang's hand quietly and pulled her gently. Xiao Baoniang understood and the two left the room and walked towards the yard....
At night, Liu Jing washed his feet and changed into a comfortable little dress. Then he got on his wife's bed and lay beside her. Tao Zhan smiled and said, "It's not convenient for me to sleep at night, so you can go to Bao Niang's place!"
"I will accompany you tonight!" Liu Jing said with a smile.
"Silly, do you really don't understand what I mean?"
Tao Zhan smiled at him with a pursed lips, "Or why you go to Miss Cai's place, I won't object."
"It's nothing, where are you thinking? I'll accompany you first and go to find Bao Niang later. Unfortunately, Shang Xiang is not here. How is she now?" Liu Jing deliberately changed the topic.
"When I heard me mention Miss Cai, I changed the topic?"
Tao Zhan shook his head and smiled, "Okay! Shangxiang is going to come back in autumn. Her mother may not be able to do it anymore. She has written a few letters and I will show you tomorrow."
After pausing, Tao Zhan said solemnly again: "General, there is something you may not be happy after hearing it, but I still want to remind you that after all, she was your nominal sister-in-law. Did you take her home because of the impact?"
Liu Jing gently stroked his wife's cheek and smiled and said, "Let's talk about this later! I still need to use her to win over the Cai family."
"You! You obviously don't forget your old love, but you just find an excuse from the Cai family. Forget it, as long as you like it, I have no objection. In fact, there is no big problem. She is no longer Liu Cong's wife. You can make your own decision!"
Liu Jing lowered his head and kissed Tao Zhan's red lips, and whispered: "I will accompany you tonight, I won't go to Bao Niang's place."
