Chapter 828: Madam Gu's Infatuation with Mr. Chu Sheng
Shi Chengxuan sat up straight, his legs stopped shaking, but he felt aggrieved, "Xia'er, I'm your father, you can't scold me in this tone."
It's like scolding your son. Am I still your father?
You still know that you are my father? Shi Anxia looked at his stupid father and laughed angrily, "It's unnecessary. I'm tired of hearing you say that even if your ears are not callused. As for you, don't hang around in front of mother in the future. She will be in a bad mood when she sees you."
Shi Chengxuan hung his head and said, "I'm just worried that she will suffer."
If he wasn't worried about his ex-wife getting hurt, would he have made such a big fool of himself? Would he have been able to get involved and catch the adultery?
If he didn't get involved, he would have gone to see Boss Shi make a fool of himself.
Shi Chengxuan stole a glance at Shi Anxia, "Actually, your great uncle isn't that good either."
"Take care of yourself and stop gossiping about others. No matter how bad he is, he is better than you." Shi Anxia frowned, "At least you lost me, and it was my uncle who found me. I will remember his kindness for the rest of my life."
"How come I lost you?" Shi Chengxuan choked.
"Wen Huiyi is not your concubine?" Shi Anxia closed her eyes. She had a lot of things to do, so she didn't have the time to sit here and chat with her stupid father. "You should leave quickly. If you are late, your mother will beat you."
Shi Chengxuan shuddered when he thought of his ex-wife's current tough appearance. "Let's go, let's go. I'm leaving now. I'll take the hot water bottle with me."
Shi Anxia didn't reply and didn't see him out.
Shi Chengxuan looked back every few steps as he left the Young Master's Mansion in a carriage. The carriage passed by the Marquis' Mansion without entering, and went directly to Madam Gu's place.
I got drunk again that night and cried my eyes out.
Madam Gu accompanied him to drink, and was very envious. "Why are you crying? Looking at the capital, no, that's not right, looking at the North Wing, is there anyone luckier than you? Your ex-wife, son, and daughter, each of them is enough to bring honor to the family for several lifetimes in other families. You have them all."
She really had never seen anyone luckier than him. A fool has his own luck, and that was exactly what he was like.
Shi Chengxuan cried, "But she doesn't want me anymore! You would also say that she is the 'ex-wife', ex! Do you understand? Wuuuuuu... She really doesn't want me anymore!"
"It's only right that she doesn't want you." Madam Gu said calmly, "You don't deserve her. She didn't live well in front of you. She was clearly a bright pearl, but she became dusty in your hands. You bound her. She became so radiant after leaving you. You should be thankful that she didn't die because of you."
Shi Chengxuan choked, "Which side are you from?"
Madam Gu smiled and said, "I am not from either side. But I have been reading Mr. Chu Sheng's poems and essays for more than a year, and I have already fallen in love with him."
From a person's poems, one falls in love with his character. This is how Madam Gu fell in love with Mr. Chu Sheng.
Yes, it was an obsession. She could recite every poem of Mr. Chu Sheng, including the short essay about Tang Xinghe.
She likes the world described by Mr. Chu Sheng, which is like a myriad of blooming flowers. She also likes the characters described by Mr. Chu Sheng, who are vivid and righteous.
Madam Gu collected all the poems and essays that Mr. Chu Sheng had ever published, which was a comfort to her soul.
Madam Gu can live without a man, but she cannot live without Mr. Chu Sheng. In the past two years, she has been relying on Mr. Chu Sheng's writings to keep herself alive.
She always felt that she had already become a walking corpse, tainted with the smell of money in the world of gold and silver.
She came back to life because those poems purified her heart and life. She felt extremely rich.
Madam Gu didn't know that Tang Chujun was Mr. Chu Sheng before, but now that she knows, her heart has been warmed the whole day.
It is like suddenly discovering that the unattainable god is actually the person next to you. The excitement is indescribable.
She thanked fate for letting her meet Shi Chengxuan. Without Shi Chengxuan, how could she have met Mr. Chu Sheng?
Madam Gu happily raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, her eyes filled with tears.
Shi Chengxuan saw Madam Gu was happy and started crying again. This time, he was crying because his ex-wife was stealing his woman.
He had been thinking about Madam Gu for a while, but this thought was just a fleeting romance.
Madam Gu was beautiful and smart, unlike Tang Chujun. He liked her too.
But Madam Gu was definitely different from ordinary women. She let him go, indulged him, and turned a blind eye to his little thoughts.
But she always treated him sincerely. When he was at his most frustrated, she was always by his side. Not for anything else, just because he had lent a helping hand when she was in the most difficult time.
He and she never crossed the line.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that she knows her limits.
At the beginning, Shi Chengxuan always wanted to get Madam Gu into bed, but she always reflected his ugliness like a mirror.
Madam Gu worked hard in her early years, doing business outside, which helped her develop an unfathomable alcohol tolerance and the means to deal with all kinds of men in a tactful way.
She never committed herself to any man. This is the strength of the Gu family, because she is their backing.
It was because Shi Chengxuan saw this clearly that he slowly gave up his dirty thoughts and gradually became a clean white sheet of paper in front of her.
He could talk about his ex-wife without restraint in front of Madam Gu.
Now, it was Madam Gu who talked about his ex-wife unscrupulously in front of him.
It sounds like the same topic, but it doesn't seem to be the same topic.
Shi Chengxuan was so drunk that he passed out and was helped into his bedroom by a servant.
Madam Gu shook her head. This man can't drink much!
She drank many more glasses than him, but she didn't look drunk at all.
She returned to her room, opened the poems written by Mr. Chu Sheng, and read aloud softly.
When she heard the old nanny come in, Madam Gu closed her poem.
The old maid said, "Madam, the eldest daughter went out today and ran into the prince consort according to your instructions. The eldest daughter hid and did not go forward to greet him. She took a detour and nothing happened."
Madam Gu nodded, "Zhu'er is a smart person, it's good that she has figured it out. Let her pack up and go to Chang'an County on the merchant ship tomorrow."
The old lady replied yes.
Madam Gu added, "I remember Curry still has a few pieces of the best snow velvet. Find them all for me. I want to give them away."
After thinking for a while, he said, "I want Frost Brocade too."
Frost brocade is most suitable for making official uniforms. Mr. Chu Sheng will be appointed as a female official by the court sooner or later, so she should prepare early.
Now that the formal dress and casual clothes are ready, let's make the matching lingerie as well. "Oh, and I also want ice silk."
Ice silk is not cold, thin and warm, and is made of special silk. There are only a few pieces in the entire North Wing.
All the good things were prepared for Mr. Chu Sheng. Mrs. Gu was very excited.
When Tang Chujun received the generous gift from Madam Gu, he was chatting with Yao Sheng and his daughter Shi Anxia in the warm room.
"What does this mean, Madam Gu? Why are you giving me such a good thing?" Tang Chujun looked at the pile of rare and valuable cloth on the table.
Yao Sheng guessed, "Could it be that he came here to apologize on behalf of Master Shi?"
Shi Anxia shook her head, "Madam Gu is not the kind of woman who has no sense of boundaries."
Although she didn't know Madam Gu's intention, she still felt that it was impossible for Madam Gu to show her goodwill by giving Shi Chengxuan a generous gift.
A few people didn't figure it out. Shi Yun got up and brought a piece of news, "Madam Gu donated 100,000 taels of silver to the Northern Propaganda Department to print "The Northern Wing Emperor Guards the National Gate"..."
