Wu Zhongbao recalled the words Lady Wu said to him, warning that if he continued not treating Lady Shen well, and truly chilled Lady Shen's heart, it would be impossible to warm it again in the future. What would he do then?
Wu Zhongbao remained calm on the surface, saying this was fine, and advised Lady Wu not to interfere.
But inside, he was bitterly laughing.
Lady Shen acted this way towards him, and Lady Wu could see it clearly. Could he, as her husband, sharing a bed, not sense it?
Yet, whenever he faced Lady Shen, all his courage vanished, and he was scared inside.
Fearful that if everything was laid bare, even the current facade of peace couldn't be maintained.
Rather than truly becoming distant like strangers in the future, it was better to continue this self-deceptive existence.
No one was aware of Wu Zhongbao's thoughts.
But Old Granny Zhang and her companions, on their way back, lamented: "It's a pity that Shen Family's girl married Wu Family's lad."
