The young lady is delicate and soft, yet she criticizes the powerful minister for bowing and scrapin

After Wei Ruowei and Xie Dongpo got married, apart from having a new friend and more freedom, there were no downsides.

Just as he had said before their marriage, Xie Dongpo would not force her to do anything.

But Wei Ruowei spent a long time secretly investigating him, or trying to extract information from him, to find out what he was after indulging in such pleasures in the past.

From that day forward, Xie Dongpo never appeared at any event involving rouge or perfume.

Unable to suppress her curiosity, she went to find the woman in red. The woman in red already knew they were married, and upon seeing Wei Ruowei, she showed no jealousy whatsoever, but instead greeted her with great joy.

The woman in red originally thought Wei Ruowei had come to show off how happy their married life was, but she never expected that she had come to inquire about information again.

"You have fear in your heart, and you are unwilling to believe what you see with your own eyes. The Young Master Xie you saw with your own eyes is real."

Wanwan smiled and said, "If you really can't figure it out, you might as well look at the people around your brother. He never associates with useless people. Young Master Xie is in the Ministry of Personnel, which is a prominent position, but if you can find out some information, it will be of great help to the Marquis of Dingyuan's heir in solving the case back then."

"What does this have to do with his frequenting brothels and nightclubs?"

"The place where flowers bloom and willows sway is often where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather. As the saying goes, people speak the truth after drinking. Those women may seem to be serving customers, but they know just as much information as spies."

Wei Ruowei was stunned for a long time. After sorting things out for so long, she realized that the truth was actually so simple.

"Young lady, you didn't trust this person first, which led to other misunderstandings about his behavior. If you believed he was a very good person, even if he did something inappropriate, you should ask him directly instead of constantly asking others."

After Wei Ruowei stepped off the painted boat, the evening breeze ruffled her hair, and the aroma of wine wafted from afar.

Wanwan's words were like a pebble thrown into her heart, creating ripples that only subsided after a long time.

When she returned to their Xie residence, the servants treated her with utmost respect.

"Madam, the meal is ready, and there's also dessert. Would you like to bring it up as well?"

Since marrying into the Xie family, she has been served dessert after every meal, either glutinous rice balls or pastries.

She likes to eat sweets.

Wei Ruowei suddenly asked, "How did you know I love sweets?"

The servants answered naturally: "The desserts are a special supply for the lady's room. The eldest son specifically instructed all the kitchens to learn how to make desserts."

After finishing her meal, Wei Ruowei sat at the table in deep thought for a long time.

When Xie Dongpo returned from the palace, the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and the palace affairs were so busy that he couldn't spare the time to attend to them. He was also helping out.

Upon returning to the courtyard, Xie Dongpo instructed them to reheat the meal and bring it up.

Wei Ruowei watched him wolf down his food; he was extremely hungry and ate with great relish.

"Why didn't you eat in the palace before coming back? Staying hungry for too long is bad for your health. Perhaps your brother is being stingy and won't cook you an extra portion?"

Xie Dongpo looked up, somewhat surprised.

Her curiosity about him indicates there's still a good chance.

"The palace cuisine is certainly delicious, but I want to come back to eat it."

Why?

Xie Dongpo couldn't help but find her adorable, as she seemed determined to get to the bottom of things.

"I want to know what you ate, and I want to share with you whether the dish was good or not."

"This way, we'll have more topics to talk about."

This was the first time Wei Ruowei had heard such words, and she didn't know how to answer. Her body, ears, and face all started to burn.

"You, you, you're so strange."

Xie Dongpo smiled even more brightly: "Green are your robes, deep is my longing; if not for love, why would I be so preoccupied with everything? I am not surprised; what is wrong with yearning for a beloved?"

Wei Ruowei turned her head away, her ears already bright red:

"You're so glib, I can't argue with you..."

"My lady, expressing love has become a mistake. If you won't allow me to express it with words, then next time I'll have to show it with actions."

Wei Ruowei said in a panic:

"You, you ...

Xie Dongpo flicked his wife's head:

"What are you thinking? You don't think I'm going to force a kiss on you, or do something indecent to you, do you?"

He's a gentleman; he wouldn't do such a thing.

Thinking and doing are two different things.

"My intention in sending you more gifts in the future is to cater to your preferences. I wonder if this will increase your favor towards me."

Xie Dongpo's fair face gradually approached, and Wei Ruowei shrank back, with nowhere left to retreat, covering her face with her hands.

"I won't change my opinion of you because of a few gifts. I'm not a materialistic woman!"

Xie Dongpo didn't tease her; instead, he flicked her nose and pulled her back to sit down.

Wei Ruowei watched him eat quietly with satisfaction.

He was often quiet, and sometimes she felt more comfortable with Xie Dongpo than with her elder brother.

Xie Dongpo would speak directly when he was unhappy, and he would also explain how it would be better.

……

Qi Yunli got married, and Wei Ruowei finally felt relieved, no longer worried about her good friend.

Perhaps because my body was much more relaxed, I experienced excessive sleepiness for several days in a row. I would slept in the yard in the afternoon while sunbathing in the morning until I woke up in the afternoon.

Xie Dongpo returned with a smile, somewhat surprised.

"Madam has gained a little weight and is now even more adorable."

Wei Ruowei wanted to raise her hand to hit him, but she had just woken up and her hand was too weak, so she could only smile helplessly and glare at him.

After finishing her meal, Wei Ruowei noticed that there wasn't much left and suddenly realized that she had eaten quite a lot more.

After the servants cleared away the dishes, Xie Dongpo picked up Wei Ruowei and carried her to the water room.

"What, what are you doing?"

"Dry."

"you!"

Ever since Wei Ruowei gave him sexual pleasure, he has become addicted to this intoxicating sensation and has lost all sense of time and place.

"I suspect that my constant sleepiness is because you keep me up at night."

"It's great. I get enough sleep, eat well, and am healthy."

Xie Dongpo buried himself in hard work.

The maids outside came in and carried water three or four times before finally finishing. Wei Ruowei's voice was hoarse, her body was weak and powerless, and she suddenly felt nauseous.

She made a vomiting motion to the side, but didn't vomit; she just felt uncomfortable in her stomach.

Xie Dongpo quickly dried her off and had his servants fetch a doctor.

"It's all my fault, I moved too much and made you uncomfortable."

Wei Ruowei: "..."

"The doctor will be here soon, so you'd better not say anything for now."

The doctor rushed over to take her pulse: "Madam is pregnant!"

"Is she pregnant? Am I going to be a father?"

Xie Dongpo thought to himself, "I must tell Wei Jun this good news and show it off to him."

The doctor pulled him back from his excitement and repeatedly gave him instructions:

"The fetus is safe and well-behaved, but the adults still need to be careful and not be too vigorous during intercourse to avoid harming the fetus."

The air seemed to freeze.

The doctor coughed to cover his embarrassment, "It would be safer to wait eight months."

The maids who were serving them were still in the room. They looked at each other and smiled, then lowered their heads and blushed.

The eldest son and his wife have a very good relationship!
