Wen Renzheng looked at Young Master Liu's curious eyes and drank a cup of tea slowly and slowly.
After a long time, Wen Renzheng suddenly placed the teacup on the stone table, raised his eyes to look at the astonished Young Master Liu opposite him, and sighed heavily.
"Why are you crying? It's not all because of what you, bastard, caused in the first place."
"Ah? It has something to do with me...it has something to do with me?"
"What do you think? I haven't seen Shu'er again for several years, old man. I can't finally see her again. I scolded her and cried when we met, right?"
Young Master Liu scratched his head and nodded hurriedly in agreement.
"That's true, that's true. But ever since Shu'er and I confirmed our relationship as husband and wife, I dare to swear to God that I have never treated Shu'er badly.
It can be said that over the years, as long as it was something Shuer didn't want to do, I, as a husband, have never forced her to do anything, let alone wronged her in the slightest.
In recent days, due to the busy government affairs, although the boy has neglected his wife, concubines and beauties at home a little, he has not done anything to make them sad?
If I say something unpleasant in front of you, the old man, I will not hide a single thing from my sisters and others even if I have a foreign wife.
I can say with my conscience, not to mention the recent days, just all the days put together, I have never behaved harshly or harshly towards Shuer.
Old man, if you don't believe what I say, we can confront Shu'er in court when Shu'er comes back. If Shu'er can tell you that I'm not half of a kid, I will do whatever you want, old man."
"The old man is not talking about these trivial matters, but an old incident."
"An old story? If it's an old story, when I was still in Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, Shu'er was really angry because of his bad mouth. But that happened many years ago.
Now Shu'er and I are married. Not only are we deeply in love as husband and wife, but we also have a son. Not to mention how much we love each other. This shows that Shu'er himself doesn't care much about those past events.
How could she cry because of those old things...old...old things?"
As Liu Mingzhi spoke, his words gradually became softer. He seemed to have thought of something and gently turned the ring on his thumb. Young Master Liu looked at Wen Renzheng with a somewhat uneasy expression.
"Sir, does the old story you want to talk about have anything to do with uncle...father-in-law and the others?"
Wen Renzheng rolled his eyes silently, secretly thinking that this kid finally realized what he meant by what he said.
"You kid is not so confused at last, but you finally understand what I mean by what I said."
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a long time thoughtfully, and then let out a long sigh.
"Hey, old man, if Shu'er is sad because of other things, what can I say? But because of this matter, I really don't know what to say.
To tell you the truth, I have been married to Shu'er for so many years. I don't even know what your son, daughter-in-law, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law look like.
I'm not a kid and I don't know etiquette. I didn't know how to take Shu'er and Zhengming, a stinky couple, to visit their two elders in Shu. In fact, they didn't give me this opportunity at all.
Many years ago, when I went to Shu with Shu'er and Lian'er to visit Lian'er's mother, I made a detour to their elders' house.
But! The two elders directly turned away the three of us. I didn’t even step through the door of their mansion.
It’s okay that I didn’t enter the house. At that time, I thought to myself that maybe I had made them unhappy in some way. For example, I deceived their daughters and didn’t pay them a visit in time.
It is understandable that they would be angry with me for this.
But later, even Shuer was blocked from the door, and I realized that things were not as simple as I thought.
The kid didn't know what was going on at the time, and wanted to beg the housekeeper to be more accommodating, but Shu'er asked me to take her away with tears in her eyes. With no other choice, the kid had no choice but to take the two sisters back to the capital.
On the way back to Beijing, the boy made insinuations more than once, trying to find out from Shu'er's words what kind of conflict there was between her and her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
However, Shu'er kept silent about this until later, even if I mentioned it a little bit, she would look like she was about to cry.
For fear of touching her sad past, the boy had no choice but to suppress the incident in his heart. Later, as various things happened, he gradually let it go.
But I didn't completely forget about this matter. When I officially married Shu'er, I sent someone to Shu to send an invitation, hoping that the two of them could attend Shu'er and I's wedding banquet.
However, as soon as the invitation was sent, it immediately disappeared into the sea. Not to mention that they came to the capital, they did not even send back a reply letter.
I couldn't hold back the questions in my heart, so I asked Shuer again what was going on?
But Shuer cried and told me to stop asking, so I had no choice but to stop asking.
More than two years ago, when the child was one month old, I still sent people to send invitations to the two elders, hoping that they could attend the child's full moon party.
The result was not beyond the boy's expectation, there was still no news.
At that time, I understood that there must be a conflict between Shu'er and my father-in-law and my parents-in-law that I didn't know about, and the root of the conflict had a lot to do with me.
However, what puzzles me is that I have never seen the two elders in decades, so how can I make them unhappy?
I asked Shu'er, but she didn't tell me, so I was helpless.
So as time went by, I almost forgot about this matter, and when you suddenly mentioned it, old man, I didn’t even think about it."
Seeing the depressed expression on Young Master Liu's face, Wen Renzheng put down his tea cup and stood up and walked towards the garden. Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to get up and follow him.
"Shu'er didn't tell you, maybe because he was afraid that you would have a grudge in your heart."
"Ah? What grudges could there be?"
"That's all, I've said it all, there's nothing more I can't say.
I think Shu'er has told you everything about why you and Shu'er got married in the first place, right?"
"Yes, Shu'er told me a few years ago. When Shu'er was still young, she accidentally slipped and fell into the water. I happened to save her life from the river when she was passing by, so we formed an indissoluble bond."
Wen Renzheng glanced at Young Master Liu with a faint look in his eyes: "It's not just that, right? You made some childish promises back then, right?
Don't you tell me that you don't know this?"
Of course I didn’t know. I was shocked when I found out about this. Who knew that I was still a good young man who acted bravely for justice!
Young Master Liu muttered a few words in his heart, but on the surface he nodded honestly to Wen Renzheng.
"I know, of course I know. At that time, the boy was young and frivolous, and his behavior was quite unruly. He did make some unreasonable promises to Shu'er."
"It's good to know. Those childish words of yours have really made Shu'er miserable."
