Even though she had closed her eyes tightly, Shi Chunquin could still feel Chu Ling's strong gaze. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. After persisting for a long time, she finally lost. She opened her eyes, glanced at Chu Ling secretly, and said with a guilty conscience:
"It didn't take long for me to wake up."
About halfway through drinking the sobering soup, she had already woken up, but at the same time, she also vaguely remembered what she had done to Chu Ling, and her whole mood cooled down immediately. She didn't dare
Facing Chu Ling's anger, I could only continue to pretend to be drunk in the hope of escaping. I didn't expect that he would see through it so quickly.
Chu Ling's anger had calmed down a bit, but after discovering that the woman was pretending to be drunk, it suddenly resurfaced.
He hated the feeling of being deceived at any time, especially when Shi Chunquin had just offended him not long ago, and his first reaction after waking up was to continue to lie to him. He felt like a fool.
"I didn't realize that Madam's acting skills are so good before?"
Chu Ling's voice was low, and it seemed that he could not hear the emotion or anger, but Shi Chunfen clearly knew that he was angry.
She bravely looked into his eyes and spoke in a soft voice, "Miss Jiang already suspected that I was pretending to be drunk. If I suddenly wake up, wouldn't I be convicted of this crime?"
Chu Ling's expression didn't soften much, "You even remember Jiang Ya's suspicion of you?"
That means I also remembered other things.
Shi Chunfen lowered his head, but he didn't dare to deny it, "I'm sorry, uncle, I didn't mean to ruin the good relationship between you and Miss Kong."
In fact, she was not very clear about what she had done specifically. The ones that impressed her most deeply were robbing the wine Kong Youlian offered to Chu Ling, and Jiang Ya's testing of Chu Ling in the camp. As for other things, she didn't remember them very clearly, but
Even these two things were enough to scare her.
Chu Ling's eyes darkened, and his thin lips curved into a mocking arc, "A good thing?"
How would this woman think it was a good thing to force him to submit in public?
Shi Chunfen lowered his head even lower, and used the strength of the entire Qingqi battalion to confess to Chu Ling alone. Isn't this a good thing?
Kong Youlian was so enterprising that even she, a woman, fell in love with her.
Unless Chu Ling's heart is made of stone, how can he be indifferent?
"Ha!" Chu Ling sneered, "I really married a white-eyed wolf!"
Shi Chunfen's face turned pale and she raised her head in surprise. She didn't expect that he would say such serious words to her, just because she snatched the glass of wine?
Her eyes turned red, and a feeling of grievance spread densely in her heart, but she didn't mean it.
Chu Ling couldn't see her injured look, especially since all the injuries seemed to come from him. He stood up without saying a word and left the camp.
Shi Chunfen looked at his back at a loss, tears still welling up. Chu Ling had been so good to her during this period that she had become accustomed to Chu Ling's gentle demeanor, but suddenly she saw his anger again.
Apart from being uncomfortable with it, what she was thinking about the most was that he really cared about that glass of wine.
Although she expected that Chu Ling would be attracted to someone else sooner or later, when the day actually came, her heart was inevitably pricked a few times.
Chu Ling's attitude of keeping away from other women made her imagine that this day would never come. Even if it did come, it would be a long, long time later when Chu Ling got tired of her, and she would have learned the lesson by then.
Doing business, even having the uncle's child, even if another woman appears, it will not affect her position as the eldest mistress. She can stay by Chu Ling's side with peace of mind, even if he doesn't love her.
But the appearance of Kong Youlian disrupted all her plans. She was beautiful and bold, and had a good family background. If Chu Ling married her, it would be equivalent to taking the entire Qingqi camp into his pocket.
The most important thing is that such a perfect woman does not seek the status of a head wife.
Even thinking about it with his feet, Chu Ling had no reason not to be moved.
When Lu Tao returned to the camp, Chu Ling had already left. Shi Chunfen was huddled up in the camp alone, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe. She was stunned, then cautiously stepped forward to comfort her, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
"
It was okay that she didn't say anything, but when she said something, Chun Equinox felt even more sad, "Lv Tao, uncle, he regrets it!"
He said she was a white-eyed wolf and he regretted marrying her...
Lu Tao was a little confused. Although she didn't know what was going on, she still comforted her patiently: "It's okay, grandma. I'm just angry that you talked nonsense when you were drunk. I don't really blame you."
Shi Chun Equinox became increasingly frustrated, "Isn't it still my fault?"
She rarely collapsed like this. The last time she felt so uncomfortable was because the head of Huating County gave her a blow. But that time it was always someone else's fault, so she quickly let go. But this time it was because of herself.
She hated her own incompetence more than others making things difficult for her.
Lu Tao didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. She thought for a while and said seriously: "Grandma, now is not the time to be sad. We should find a way to make up for it. The uncle is staying in the military camp tonight, but there are many girls who are treating him badly."
It would not be a good idea if someone else takes advantage of the situation."
Shi Chunfen was stunned and stopped crying, "No way? This is a military camp, how bold are they?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she thought of Kong Youlian's public offering of wine, and she fell silent.
Well, they are indeed that bold.
Lu Tao was afraid that she didn't know the pros and cons, and added: "They took advantage of the loophole and it was trivial. But if this kind of thing happened in the military camp, it would probably affect the uncle's reputation. In the future, the uncle will take the civil and military examinations. In the official career
There is no room for stain."
These words spoke to Shi Chunfen's heart. This time when she came to Huating, if she could stain the uncle under her nose, then she would really be ashamed of the Chu family's teachings.
She wiped away her tears and stood up, "Then what should I do now? Go and invite the uncle back?"
Lu Tao shook her head quickly, "Since the uncle is angry with grandma, if you go to invite her yourself and end up in the lower class, I'd better take this trip for grandma and find a way to persuade the uncle to come back. Grandma just needs to lie in the tent and continue.
Just pretend to be unwell."
Shi Chunquin was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood, "Okay."
When Chu Ling was called back by Lu Tao, the lights in the tent had been extinguished by the spring equinox, and he was lying on a hard couch alone. People who were used to sleeping on high beds and soft pillows suddenly wanted to sleep on this hard couch.
Naturally, he was extremely uncomfortable with it. The moment Chu Ling opened the door curtain, he happened to see Shi Chunfen twisting uncomfortably on the couch through the dim light outside. After hearing his footsteps, her movements instantly
He stopped and lay stiffly on the couch, not daring to move any further.
Chu Ling narrowed his eyes, casually put down the door curtain, and strode into the tent...
