Shoe Feng Zhi (Hai Tao)

Having finished with the things he had planned for the day, he went to Guang Liu with a heavy heart. Explanations could not be avoided. For ten years now, he had tried not to go to her. His wife was not happy to see him and demonstrated it with her whole appearance. I didn’t want to worsen her already serious condition. He was grateful to this woman for the children, but he had to admit that their family life was not working out.

At first, after the wedding, he hoped that over time she would love him, as usually happens in marriages. Or at least get used to him. But no matter what he did, no matter how hard he tried to please her, she was always unhappy. And then this illness...

He knocked once and entered.

— Greetings. How are you feeling today?

The woman looked even more tired and exhausted than the last time he visited her.

Shoe Guang Liu (Zhi Lang)

 Sitting by the mirror, Zhi Lan glanced at it and saw a woman with flabby and pale skin. Few people need such a beauty, but this does not bother her, she does not want to be desired or loved.

Now she is interested in something completely different. The husband who promised her not to marry off her daughter without the girl's desire, managed to lose her. How can you not love your own child?

Once upon a time, she too looked at her children without wanting to acknowledge them, but they awakened maternal feelings in her, and fortunately, they did not demand that she love Shoe Feng Zhi.

She would never have let him near her, if not for her father. This man betrayed her, giving her into hands that she did not want. And all her pleas were in vain.

The head of the Shoe order is too influential a person, who, of course, will convince anyone of his rightness, but has her heart ever worried anyone?

Even before the wedding, she found her love, and everything was wonderful, but out of the blue, her future husband came to town, destroying everything. A fleeting meeting was enough for him to ruin someone else's life.

She resisted and tried to free herself for many years, but nothing worked. She had to give birth for him, against her own will, but this made her live and fight on, only for the happiness of her children.

Now her hands are not able to lift even a cup of water, they are treacherously shaking and her legs do not want to support her body at all, but she has several questions for her husband, and for this she found the strength to get out of bed.

The maids helped her get dressed and sit down at the table, richly decorated with sweets for tea. Guang Liu, having finally waited, looked angrily into his shameless eyes.

— Shoe Feng Zhi, you have completely lost your conscience, since you could allow yourself to appear before me without my daughter! — words come with difficulty, the voice tries to shout out every word.

Shoe Feng Zhi (Hai Tao)

There was nothing unusual in the wife's behavior. Except that she finally stood up. He would have to ask the healers, perhaps they had found a cure for her illness, and this decrepit woman would be able to return to her original appearance. Then, perhaps, her mood would improve.

Now no one would recognize her as the delightful beauty whose beauty had prompted him to take as his wife a girl from the smallest clan in the order, but she was never able to appreciate her luck.

— Zhi Lang, Sheng Langg conveyed that you wish to see me. Have you forgotten?

Smiling, he sat down opposite his wife. Since he had come, it was worth talking.

Shoe Guang Liu (Zhi Lang)

The insolence and pomposity of this turkey drove her crazy. Forgot? How can you forget something like that? Taking a sip, she brought her hand down with force, hitting the cup on the table.

— Forgot? How dare you expect me to forget that you lost my daughter? Tell me, do you really not feel the slightest pity for her? What did she do to you that you are in such a hurry to send her away from home?

Shoe Feng Zhi (Hai Tao)

He frowned slightly, watching the actions. He would have to ask the healer to give her more soothing decoctions. He is not angry, but the feeling he had for her has long since been replaced by pity.

— What are you talking about? Our daughter has been a bride for too long already. I will not ruin her life any longer by indulging your desires. As soon as Chun Lei brings her, she will go to her fiance's house. It is high time for her to have her own family. Don't you want her to be happy?

Shoe Guang Liu (Zhi Lang)

The lad hadn't told her everything, and now she widened her eyes in surprise. Happiness? She looked at her husband with even greater displeasure.

— What happiness are you talking about? Did she tell you that she fell in love? Why do you decide for everyone? Aren't you tired of ruining the lives around you? Isn't me enough for you, have you decided to destroy even what you yourself created? You are not given to know what love is, because there is only pain and emptiness around you. You decided to destroy the last ray of sunshine, — it was hard to breathe from anger, and she put her hand on her chest, — Shoe Feng Zhi, I beg you, bring her home. Let her decide her own fate, you promised me.

Shoe Feng Zhi (Hai Tao)

His wife's condition is getting worse day by day. She no longer understands the most basic things.

— Guang Liu, that's enough. I will no longer indulge your whims in this matter. Our daughter will become the first wife of the Feng heir. And this is great luck. She is a smart girl and will certainly be happy. I will no longer deprive her of her feminine happiness because of your selfishness. It is decided. Try to pull yourself together and follow all the healers' instructions. You must look happy, even if you do not feel it, when our daughter comes home, and bless her for a happy marriage. I forbid you to upset her. Xiu Li must leave our house with a light heart.

He stood up, showing that the conversation was over and left the room. Having ordered the healers to calm the lady, he thought. It would probably be worthwhile to visit one of the concubines, but communication with his wife completely discouraged this desire. He's had enough communication with women for today. As his personal experience showed, they were all too selfish, unreasonable and hysterical. Sheng Lang's mother was the same. However, if not his wife, then there were always other reasons why he put off such visits year after year. Sighing, the spellcaster turned around and quickly walked in the other direction. To the one who would definitely not ask unnecessary questions, but would simply do everything as it should be.
