BXBX NOVEL Chapter 966 - 966: Explosive Acting Skills! (3)
The first wife had something to say, so the concubines naturally had to leave.
There was nothing wrong with this logic!
Unexpectedly, everyone present was dumbfounded. Even the Second Madam could not help but show a trace of surprise.
Wen Xu had never liked the Second Madam. If it weren’t for the Great Elder and Master suppressing him, he would have doted on his concubines and killed his wife. Yet, he didn’t ridicule the Second Madam and even politely invited her into his room?
Shadow Six couldn’t bear to look at him and covered his face. Did he do something wrong? He should have told Dawa immediately after hearing the news from the manor.
Fortunately, Yu Wan had used the Lan family’s disguise on Dawa. They could definitely pass off the fake as the real one. No matter how surprised they were, they would never have thought that someone would be so bold as to pretend to be the grandson of an elder of the Sorcerer Clan.
“Ah…” The relief in Butler Wen’s heart overshadowed his surprise. He smiled and said, “Second Master and Second Madam have something to discuss. I’ll send the two madams back to the courtyard first.”
Madam Mei and Madam Lan glared at Dawa and left reluctantly! This was the first time in so long that they had been inferior to the Second Madam.
“What’s wrong with Second Master? Why is he suddenly so polite to Second Madam?” Second Master was no longer in front of her, and Madam Lan’s persona was gone. She rolled up her sleeves fiercely and roughly.
Madam Mei looked at her in disdain and said, “You ask me, who should I ask? She’s the Second Madam. She’s the legitimate wife. What are we?!”
“You!” Madam Lan wanted to pull someone over to fight against a common enemy, but she didn’t expect to be mocked.
Madam Mei could see it clearer than her. Her family background was not good and her background was not high. No matter how much she was favored, she could not become the head of the manor. Compared to the Second Madam, these little sluts in the backyard were her match!
It didn’t matter if Second Madam regained her favor. It was better than this little slut climbing over her head!
The Second Madam came over to talk about returning to her maternal family. She had also just received the news. Her maternal brother had a son and they would be performing baptism three days later. She wanted to go home. Originally, there was no need to bring this matter to Wen Xu. After all, Wen Xu would not care. It was because the Great Elder and Master were no longer in the manor that the Second Madam had no choice but to inform Wen Xu.
“If you’re unwilling, I can get someone to send a gift back.” With the Second Madam’s relationship with Wen Xu, no matter what she said to him, he would pour cold water on her.
The Second Madam was already prepared to be rejected, but Dawa said, “Is it the day after tomorrow? Alright, I’ll prepare myself and accompany you back to your maiden home.”
Dawa broke out in a cold sweat! It was only his first day in the Sorcerer Clan, but he had already contributed his soul acting skills! But now, his soul acting skills were not enough, yet he still wanted to go to the Second Madam’s maiden home to act as her son-in-law!
Why was his life so bitter!
The Second Madam thought she had heard wrongly and blinked blankly.
“Second Master… is going too?”
What did this mean? Could Dawa not go? Dawa looked at the Second Madam! Tell me, tell me that Dawa can choose not to go!
The Second Madam lowered her eyes. “I understand. I’ll get someone to deliver the news now and say that Second Master will go back with me.”
Although she had long given up on her husband, she would not refuse Wen Xu to go back to her maiden home with her if she could reassure her parents. It was… her father-in-law and grandfather secretly beating Wen Xu up again, right?
Otherwise, Wen Xu’s attitude towards her wouldn’t have changed so much.
There were not many waves in the Second Madam’s heart, but courtesy was returned. The elders had worked hard, so she naturally had to respond. She stood up and bowed politely. “Thank you, Second Master. Dinner…”
What? This woman wanted to have dinner here?! Dawa waved his hand on the brink of tears. “Alright, alright. What do you want to eat? Just instruct them to cook! Butler Wen, get someone to deliver the food!”
Butler Wen had gone to send off his two concubines, but there were naturally other servants to answer him. It was a maidservant who came. She looked at the Second Madam in the room in shock and said as if she had seen a ghost, “Second Madam, are you eating here?”
Of course, the Second Madam did not want to eat here, but Wen Xu had already spoken. She could not refuse like this.
“I’ll eat here,” the Second Madam said.
Dawa was about to cry. She’s really eating here? He even had to act when he’s eating! What a miserable Dawa!
The Second Madam rejected the idea of eating in Wen Xu’s room. However, she was much more proficient than Dawa in acting.
Because the Second Madam had been in the room and had never left, Shadow Six did not even have a chance to reveal Wen Xu’s love life to him.
Dawa saw that the Second Madam was so dignified and proper, and she was much more pleasing to the eye than the two concubines. He was certain that Wen Xu must dote on this Madam very much. However, he was also worried that she was someone who were most familiar with “him”. The Second Madam would be able to tell that he was not Wen Xu. This way, he felt a little guilty and uncomfortable.
In the Second Madam’s eyes, this unconcealable expression happened to be the most true reaction of Wen Xu hating her and having no choice but to listen to his elders to get close to her.
The Second Madam heaved a sigh of relief. It would be strange if Wen Xu really liked her. This was good. She and Wen Xu only needed to put on an act for the rest of their lives.
After dinner, the Second Madam thought that it was about time. The two of them had not eaten at the same table for more than half a year. If word of tonight reached their grandfather and father-in-law’s ears, they should be able to report back.
“It’s getting late. Second Master, you should rest. I’ll go back to the courtyard first.
“Huh? I slept alone?” Dawa was pleasantly surprised. So this couple didn’t live together. He could finally stop acting tonight!
The Second Madam was too puzzled. She understood it as Wen Xu asking her— Huh? I’m sleeping alone?
What did he mean? Could it be that accompanying him to eat was no longer enough? Did he still need her to sleep with him?! Wasn’t this request too much?!
“Wen Xu, you…”
Why was she suddenly so angry? Did he expose himself? Or did he say something wrong?
“Are… are you staying?” Dawa asked fearfully. Don’t stay, don’t stay, don’t stay…
This person actually begged her to stay?! Was he afraid that she would refuse? The Second Madam still knew about Wen Xu’s feelings for her. Even if all the women in the backyard were chased away by her, Wen Xu would never be willing to touch her, unless—
It was an order from his grandfather and father-in-law. Her husband did not like her, but her grandfather and father-in-law had never let her suffer at all. If it was really the two elders’ idea, then…
The Second Madam clenched her fists and took a deep breath. “Got it. I’ll stay!”
Dawa was going to break down—
