Noble Son-in-Law - Chapter 8.1

Chapter 8.1

Mrs. Song was carefully brushing her hair while she waited for Shen Qushenge to respond.

Shen Qushenge sat on the bed, picked up a book, and looked through it. Then he lowered his head and said, “You are not embarrassed to ask this at your age?”

Hearing those words, Mrs. Song looked in the mirror and smiled. She said, “I wanted to ask when I was young, but I am a concubine. I cannot flirt with the master and compete with the wife, so I never asked.”

Shen Qushenge’s hand stopped moving while turning the book pages.

‘Concubine…’ Hearing those words, Shen Qushenge looked at Mrs. Song without uttering a word. His memory went back to thirty years ago.

At that time, Mrs. Song was very beautiful, skilled, and smart, and her family had a lot of money. If she hadn’t met him, she would have married a good husband and become a great first wife, not a concubine.

On their wedding night, he asked her if she felt upset about being a concubine. Mrs. Song smiled and moved her head from side to side, but she didn’t say anything.

On the second day after they got married, seeing Mrs Song’s servant give her some new silk clothes and a box of shiny jewellery, Shen Qushenge was worried that his wife would become jealous of Mrs Song, and he told her not to show off her wealth, fearing it would cause a dispute between the wife and the concubine.

Mrs. Song was an understanding person with high intelligence, so she listened to her husband with a smile.

From then on, Mrs. Song wore whatever material Mrs. Du wore. Mrs. Du wore a wooden hairpin, and Mrs. Song only wore a wooden hairpin.

When Shen Qushenge’s official position was low, his whole family lived under the same roof. It was not until his mother and his wife, Mrs. Du, passed away one after another that he allowed Mrs. Song to live alone in a small courtyard.

Because Mrs. Song never complained about anything and always obeyed his words, Shen Qushenge thought she also liked such a life.

Now, after Mrs. Song said those words, Shen Qushenge heard something different.

He didn’t talk for a while, and then he looked up and asked uneasily, “What’s the matter with you?”

Mrs. Song stopped combing her hair and walked slowly over to Shen Qushenge. She sat down slowly and then leaned on Shen Qushenge’s shoulder, held his hand, and then asked gently, “Master, do you think Qingqing looks like me when I was young?”

Shen Qushenge looked at her hands and felt sad because they were no longer soft and smooth. He just hummed.

Mrs Song pressed each of his knuckles and quietly said, “I think it’s the same too. When I see Qingqing, I remember the time when I was part of the Song family. Back then, I could eat anything I wanted—anything I liked. My dad will get me anything I ask for. Honestly, I was happier in the Song family than in the Shen family.”

Shen Qushenge was breathing hard.

A husband would not be pleased to hear his wife say that.

Thankfully, because he was older, Shen Qushenge was not so impulsive. He looked at the woman beside him and said in a deep voice, “I have wronged you.”

Have a nice day!
