In front of her, Shujun often wore a mischievous smile; if not, he would act spoiled, cling to her like a Little Goblin. And if he were really a goblin, she thought he must be the kind that drains your energy!
But there were so things that, even if he didn’t say, even if he didn’t express, she understood in her heart.
"This family business is like your child. Giving up the Huizi Store is no different than personally strangling your own flesh and blood. Don’t make this wrong decision for my sake!"
She clearly expressed her thoughts.
Shujun was slightly moved, "I... I really don’t know what to do anymore." He slowly lowered his eyes, "It’s not just about the past or the future; right now, I just want to be by your side."
Dong Huiying chuckled softly, "You’ve always been here. You’re not only by my side, but you’re also in my heart. I spoke too harshly that day."
Shujun slowly shook his head, "No," he knew she probably said that to lighten their burden because she saw how he and his second brother had been suffering lately.
Shujun chuckled bitterly, "I should be grateful for that wake-up call." At least he understood his mistakes and had the chance to correct them. Otherwise, if she bottled up her dissatisfaction, he would remain oblivious, and her discontent would accumulate, leading them to part ways one day.
Maintaining a relationship is not easy, and maintaining a marriage is even harder.
When Dong Huiying and Shujun were talking, the others in the carriage listened silently. Their ho wasn’t far from the Zhu family; just two turns down the alley, and they would be there.
After the carriage stopped, Lao Si Haoming was the first to get out and extended his hands toward his wife.
Dong Huiying placed her hand in Haoming’s palm and used it as leverage to step down from the carriage.
Lately, the Zhu family has been quite in the lilight.
They had an esteed guest; even though the guest’s identity was initially a secret and not many knew, there were plenty of people with sharp eyes these days. One can make a decent guess about a person’s status and importance from their attire and conduct.
Especially recently, the identity of the Eighth Princess was exposed. Those well-inford in Nanling were eager to curry favor with the Zhu family by ingratiating themselves with the Eighth Princess.
Who in the world didn’t know?
The Eighth Princess, even if not yet crowned, already wielded supre power!
But probably no one expected that today, there would be a few tactless individuals, reckless and courting death, who dared to trouble the Eighth Princess!
"Excuse , I’m from the Huizi Store, may I trouble you to announce our arrival?"
After stepping down from the carriage, Dong Huiying greeted the doorman of the Zhu family. She didn’t look like soone there to cause trouble. On the contrary, she appeared approachable and kind, filled with a sweet, gentle disposition.
Shu Yu, Shujun, and Yixuan gradually exited the carriage, standing behind Dong Huiying.
The doorman, being quite perceptive, glanced at them, paying special attention to Shujun in red, and then hurriedly turned to report.
Today, coincidentally, Zhu De was at ho.
As the servants reported, Zhu De was playing chess with Old Lady Zhu.
"Did you say soone is asking to see us?" Old Lady Zhu put down a chess piece. After hearing the servant’s report, she smiled nonchalantly, "Is it from the Huizi Store? Well, since there’s nothing much to do, let them in first."
The old lady waved her hand, and the servant promptly followed her order.
