To Be A Virtuous Wife

Chapter 40



". Some thought this was a song lamenting the present and reminiscing on the past, but others felt this song just simply described the scenery. No matter what, this song required very high skills. If there were any weakness, they couldn't play the meaning in the song.

Qu Qing Ju wasn't an expert in the guqin, but as a former dancer, she did have a sense of music. At least she could hear, that when Qu Yue Su was playing this song, her mood wasn't as good as imagined.

"San xiaoji's skills are as extraordinary as said," He Yuang listened for a while before continuing to drink tea. He suddenly remarked, "Er sao's skills must be extraordinary as well."

These words overstepped. Qu Qing Ju smiled rather than get angry. The motion she made as she set down the teacup was heavier than before. She retorted icily: "San shu does indeed have lots of leisure time. No wonder you would pay attention to such insignificant matters."

These words were very impolite, it didn't leave behind any coverings for He Yuan. Sitting by her side, He Heng didn't speak, clearly feeling that there was nothing wrong with what Qu Qing Ju had just done.

He Yuan's face showed an astonished expression. When he had finished speaking, he had already detected it wasn't proper but he was used to being brash, and didn't expect that this er sao would be so impolite.

A flame burned in his heart. He looked at He Heng and saw the other's expression wasn't very good. He could only raise his teacup, "It's didi that transgressed, er sao, please forgive me."

Qu Qing Ju lazily raised her teacup, "San shu is too polite." But she didn't drink the tea.

A sliver of a smile appeared on He Heng's face. He raised the teacup and said to He Yuan: "San di, this tea isn't wine. Don't get intoxicated." His woman, she showed have this daring. If she had to silently suffer such a thing, where did it put him as the husband?

He Yuan squeezed out a smile and took a drink but he felt that the tea in his mouth was bitter and harsh, the fire in his heart unable to be doused.
