Chapter 50: Cool Heart

It was already late at night, but Wen Shumei didn't have a trace of sleepiness, she sat quietly next to the bronze mirror in the dormitory, looking at her appearance in the mirror, but the corners of her mouth raised a sneer, the sadness and helplessness in this smile were so obvious.

The dim candlelight reflected in the large room, reflecting her shadow in a posture of extreme loneliness.

Zhong Lishuo has been out of the house since he went out to meet Chen Tong in the study, and now he has not come back. Presumably not coming back.

Is it time to start the night?

Wen Shumei thought of this, and the grievances in her heart were more and more magnified, she knew her weight, but she was just a woman. The woman has no status, but she still has some use value for Zhongli, and she is not necessarily cold.

Exploit. For some reason, Wen Shumei is feeling that she is still living for this use. How she ended up in this pitiful situation. She felt that there was a real bitterness in Xinzhongzheng's heart. She didn't want to think about these painful things anymore, so she rested next to the bronze mirror with her head in one hand.

Maybe Zhong Lishuo will be back in a while. She thought so. A delicate hairpin on her head hangs a few fine tassels, and at the end of the tassel are a few fine green jade beads, which are ironing her face at this time, and there is a cold touch. Wen Shumei only felt that this temperature was like her own heart. She didn't even want to cry.

After a while, the temperature of the jade bead also followed the temperature on her face, and she didn't feel so cold, but her heart was extremely bitter after all, Wen Shumei sighed unconsciously, only feeling that her body was very tired. She thought that if she didn't sleep first, waiting for Zhong Lishuo to come back, seeing her like this, even if she was really hard-hearted, she should be moved. But in the blink of an eye, I felt that I was too inferior, if I wanted to put it on the front, when she was not out of the cabinet, how could she tolerate being bullied like this, it should be someone else who came to please her, and whether she agreed or not depends on her expression. But now, there is always a bit of irony.

After all, it is a married woman, who is not as delicate as her mother's family, and it is inevitable to suffer losses and grievances, so bear with it.

Wen Shumei still remembers that this was what her mother said when she sent her to the sedan chair on the day she married Zhong Lishuo, and now it is a fulfillment.

Gradually, Wen Shumei also felt that her eyes were very sour, and her eyelids seemed to be very heavy, and she gradually fell asleep.

The wind outside the house was blowing quietly, and it was almost autumn season, and the wind was much cooler. The slightest wind blew into the building through the cracks in the window lattice, and there was a whining sound, which sounded like the cry of a child. The soft wind blew the candlelight in the room, causing the candle to shake restlessly. Swaying shadows, shaking.

Looking from the outhouse, the candle shadow jumped and jumped, it was really scary, Wen Shumei's maid couldn't help but feel strange when she saw it, but she also knew that Wen Shumei was asleep inside, so she didn't want to disturb loudly. Go to the door and gently knock on the door:

"Princess, princess." No one should be. I guess I must have fallen asleep. The maid was a little worried, if she really suffered from the cold, she would definitely be punished if she had a fever the next day, but if she went in now, it would not be appropriate.

The maid was a little embarrassed, but she also thought that if Wen Shumei was already asleep, she would not notice it when she went in, so if she went in like this, closed the door and came out, she would definitely not be discovered. So she gently handed over Wen Shumei twice, and when she saw that there was no response, she tiptoed into the door.

Fang entered the inner hall, and saw Wen Shumei falling asleep on the dresser with her head in one hand, thinking that if she fell asleep like this, she would definitely get cold, so she hurriedly closed the window of the wind, and then walked to Wen Shumei's side, and gently patted Wen Shumei's shoulder, while calling softly:

"Princess. Princess. Wen Shumei was disturbed by this small voice, and only then did she open her eyes, her eyes were a little confused, with the tiredness of not waking up. The maid put a cloak on her and said:

"Princess, it's late at night. Why don't you go to bed? When Wen Shumei heard this, her brows furrowed, and her eyes were still blurred, so she straightened up, reached out and stroked her forehead, and asked:

"What time is it?" The maid looked at Wen Shumei's expression was not very good, and she was a little scared in her heart, and she also knew why Wen Shumei asked this question. Since Wen Shumei came back from the study in the evening, her expression was not good, sullen, as if something was wrong, and she didn't even eat much for dinner. And since evening, he has never seen the face of the eldest prince, and anyone can see that Wen Shumei is a little angry. Naturally, I understand why. Besides, it is already late at night, and the eldest prince has not come back, Wen Shumei asked the hour, it must be angry. But she couldn't help but answer, so she said timidly:

"Back to the princess, it's already been three watches." The woman said while paying attention to Wen Shumei's expression. This maid was originally Wen Shumei's dowry girl, and Wen Shumei's temper was surprisingly bad when she was at Wen Shumei's mother's house. Wen Shumei's mother's family has two daughters, Wen Shumei is the eldest, her own sister is five years younger than her, Wen Shumei always bullies her sister at the age of five.

And because Wen Shumei's mother has no other children, his father regards these two daughters as the pearl of his palm, and he has always been very pampered. So this Wen Shumei has been very willful since she was a child. This maid originally thought that Wen Shumei would be able to restrain herself after getting married, but she didn't want to be the same as before. I all know that the royal daughter-in-law is not good, Wen Shumei was also very obedient and sensible at the beginning, but as the days passed, the emperor sealed the title of the eldest prince after the eldest prince got married, and moved out of the palace to live, but he didn't want to move out of the palace, without the attention of the concubines, Wen Shumei's temperament also followed the past.

This maid can also see that Wen Shumei is really interested in the eldest prince, but this eldest prince is always lukewarm to Wen Shumei, in fact, everyone understands in their hearts that this princess is not favored at all, so she does not want to be close to her, but she is Wen Shumei's dowry girl, and she can't hide there. She can only take care of it.

"It's been the third watch, and His Highness still hasn't come back." Wen Shumei muttered alone. With that, he sighed deeply, got up from the dresser, and walked to the bed in the back room. The maid was timid in her heart, but she also wanted to round the scene:

"Maybe there is something going on with His Highness. Recently, His Royal Highness has been very busy, and the princess knows about it. Hearing this, Wen Shumei turned around and raised a sneer:

"yes, it's busy." After speaking, he took another step forward, turned back and asked the maid, "Do you look at me old and ugly?" When the maid heard this, she was shocked, and shook her head twice:

"Nope. The princess was as beautiful as ever. Wen Shumei heard this and grinned:

"You will pick up nice things to say." After saying that, she went to bed, and the smile on the corner of her mouth suddenly disappeared:

"You help me ask His Highness's entourage, but I know of a person named Chu Chen." Then he looked up at his maid and continued, "You understand what I mean? ”
