Chapter 146 Husband and wife are separated
"Uncle Shen, you're back." Mother Wang hurried forward and bowed to Mr. Shen.
Shen Junxing had no expression on his face. He nodded to Mother Wang imperceptibly.
"Husband, why did you come back so late today? Are you tired? Let me change your clothes for you." Tang Qingmei pulled the corners of her mouth to force a smile, and stretched out her hand to change clothes for Shen Junxing.
"No, I can do it myself." Shen Junxing looked indifferent and avoided the hands that were stretched out in front of him.
Tang Qingmei's hand froze in mid-air, and the smile on her face could hardly be maintained.
She felt humiliated and frustrated. It had been twenty years! Her children were old enough to get married.
Shen Junxing and I have been married for twenty years, even if I were a piece of stone, I would be warmed up!
In an instant, Tang Qingmei felt that all her efforts over the years were a huge joke.
Ever since Shen Ruyi came back, Shen Junxing's attitude began to plummet. Does he still have a wife in his eyes?
Shen Junxing didn't even look at Tang Qingmei, and walked straight into the inner room. It seemed that the person standing in front of him was just a passerby who had nothing to do with him.
Tang Qingmei stood where she was, her hands clenched into fists, a hint of unwillingness and resentment flashing in her eyes.
Shen Junxing had only taken two steps when he saw the undried water stains on the ground and frowned.
Before he could say anything, Mother Wang stepped forward with a very discreet look and took over the matter for Tang Qingmei.
"I'm sorry, Master Shen. It's all my fault. I accidentally broke the teacup when I was serving tea to Madam. It's all my fault. I will leave it to you, Master Shen."
"Mother Wang, if I remember correctly, this is the eighth set of teacups that we have replaced in the twelfth lunar month. You can't even hold a teacup properly. I think it's time for you to leave the house and enjoy your retirement."
Shen Junxing spoke in a cold tone. He looked down at Mother Wang condescendingly, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.
He and Tang Qingmei have been husband and wife for nearly twenty years. Now that their children are grown up, they are tired of the drama between master and servant.
Mother Wang immediately knelt down, lowered her head and dared not say a word.
"My dear husband, Madam Wang is an elder in the mansion. She has many things to do during the day, so it is inevitable that she will be distracted. I will definitely discipline her strictly in the future."
"You blind thing, get out of here!" Tang Qingmei pretended to be angry, stretched out her toes, kicked Mother Wang, and winked at her.
"I know I'm wrong!" Mother Wang kowtowed several times, climbed up from the ground, lowered her head and walked out.
Before leaving, she did not forget to make a gesture to Tang Qingmei, indicating that she should go and coax her husband.
Shen Junxing no longer had the mood to talk and strode towards the inner room.
Tang Qingmei's face turned ugly in an instant, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces.
She looked at Shen Junxing's back, a surge of anger surged from the bottom of her heart. She had completely forgotten what Mother Wang had told her and quickly chased after him.
"Mr. Shen, what do you mean? If you are dissatisfied with me, you can just take it out on me. What's the point of getting angry at a servant?"
Tang Qingmei chased to the door of the inner room and stepped forward to block Shen Junxing's way.
"Isn't what I said the truth? Or have you acted so hard that you believe it yourself?"
Shen Junxing stopped, turned around and looked quietly at the person in front of him.
Tang Qingmei was caught off guard and met Shen Junxing's eyes. It was as if her thoughts had suddenly been exposed, and she looked away in embarrassment.
The punch I just threw at Shen Junxing felt like hitting cotton.
"Tang Qingmei, don't treat everyone as a fool." Shen Junxing's face was full of sarcasm, and the disgust in his eyes was undisguised.
"You, what do you mean? Mr. Shen, explain it to me clearly. I have been married into the Marquis' Mansion for twenty years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Is this how you treat me?"
"Everyone knows that the couple of Minister Shen in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion are deeply in love, and they don't even have a concubine in the mansion. But who knows the warmth and coldness of this? Who knows that Minister Shen and his wife are just a loving couple on the surface? It's really a big joke!"
Tang Qing's eyes turned slightly red, and he gritted his teeth and roared at Shen Junxing.
"Haha, isn't this what you worked so hard to get? Why are you acting like a shrew now?" Shen Junxing sneered, turned around and sat at the table, staring at Tang Qingmei with cold eyes.
If it hadn't been for that incident, and if it hadn't been for my mother's pressure, how could I have married such a sweet-mouthed but treacherous woman?
So many years have passed, and now I have children, I had accepted my fate.
But what did the person next to me do?
Tang Qingmei felt a pain in her heart due to Shen Junxing's words. She bit her lip and tried to calm the anger and grievance in her heart.
Before she could open her mouth, Shen Junxing suddenly changed the subject and his eyes fell on Tang Qingmei like a knife.
"I advise you to stay out of Ganzhou's affairs. Ruyi is my sister after all. Even a cornered dog will jump over the wall. Don't force me to do anything too extreme. My mother is old and I don't want to cause trouble. If you are tired of being the wife of the Marquis's Mansion, I can also help you."
It was not until today that Shen Junxing accidentally found out that his mother had actually sent people to Taihe County, Ganzhou.
He didn't even need to think about it, as Tang Qingmei had instigated and pushed this matter forward.
Otherwise, how could my mother suddenly think of the people there when there has been no contact with that place for ten years?
He regretted it when he went to Taihe County and brought Shen Ruyi back by force.
When asked about the truth behind Shen Ruyi's abduction, Shen Ruyi was unwilling to mention it.
After returning, he did not show the slightest attachment to the Marquis' Mansion, and even his attitude towards his mother was always indifferent.
Except for occasionally mentioning her father who had been guarding Beijing, there would be a gleam in her eyes, but the rest of the time she locked herself in a world that no one could enter.
Seeing Shen Ruyi getting thinner and thinner, Shen Junxing asked himself more than once whether he had done something wrong back then.
Thinking of his sister Shen Ruyi, Shen Junxing felt very uncomfortable.
When Tang Qingmei heard Shen Junxing mention the Qin family, her heart skipped a beat. This matter had originally been kept a secret from Shen Junxing. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had agreed to act quietly, but Shen Junxing still found out about it.
When she heard Shen Junxing's words that he wanted to divorce her, she completely lost control and started yelling at Shen Junxing.
"Shen Junxing, what do you mean? You want to divorce me, right? I'm just helping my mother fulfill her wishes. What have I done wrong..."
"Is it really just for mother? Or is it to cover up the truth? You'd better pray that you have nothing to do with Ruyi's disappearance, otherwise I don't mind letting you have a taste of my methods."
"Also, don't go to Leng Yuexuan's place if you don't have anything to do. As a sister-in-law, you know whether you really care about your sister-in-law or have other intentions. Mother is old and confused, but my eyes are still fine!"
Shen Junxing's face turned cold in an instant, and a chilling murderous aura emanated from his body.
Tang Qingmei was so frightened by Shen Junxing's eyes that her whole body trembled. She involuntarily took two steps back, covering her face and crying.
