Chapter 495 - Nie Qingyun's POV (2)
During the Southern Trip, she frequently came over to his room. Using Mingjie as a pretense, she would prepare tea for him and watch them play chess. When Mingjie left, the two of them didn't have much to say to each other. Floundering for something to say, he ended up using Sangyu as a topic every time.
It was because the only thing they had in common was Sangyu.
”Is Sangyu living happily in the marquis's household?”
”Does the marquis bully Sangyu?”
”What do you and Sangyu usually do?”
He really was trying his best to find something to talk about. However, for some unknown reason, Errong's expression looked increasingly ugly. Eventually, the number of times she came over to his room decreased.
Looking at the endless river, Nie Qingyun felt very depressed. Had he done something wrong?
After a few days, Errong returned to her usual self of circling around him. This time, Nie Qingyun controlled his mouth. He wouldn't say anything! He would just elegantly hold a chess piece and pretend to be cool!
As a result, Errong looked as if she wanted to cry. She only stayed for a short period before leaving. Once again, she didn't come back for several days.
When Nie Qingyun was alone in his room, he couldn't resist smacking his head against a wooden pillar. It was so hard to make a woman happy. What should he do?
n.o.ble Consort Nie had brought them along on the Southern Trip to give them a chance to cultivate feelings, but the outcome was that their relations.h.i.+p was becoming increasingly strange.
Let's just wait until they got married, once they got married, it would all work out.

Errong was a clever young woman. Although it had seemed like she and Chen-s.h.i.+ wouldn't be able to get along with each other, she kept enduring and letting Chen-s.h.i.+ have her way after the wedding. Errong treated him exceptionally well too. Nie Qingyun's worried heart was put to rest. He very shamelessly sunk into the newly wedded bliss.
His little, sweet wife was lovable and sensible. Every day, after leaving the imperial court, his steps would be faster than usual. Onlookers watched him in amazement and one asked, ”Sir Nie, why are you in such a rush to go back? Is there a pressing matter?
Yes, a very pressing matter. He wanted to see her sooner!
Although his expression didn't change, he kept up his quick pace as he turned his head and answered, ”En, there's an urgent matter.”
He had once thought he would have to spend the rest of his life compensating Sangyu for his mother's crime, and he had been happy taking care of Sangyu too. But, now that he had Errong, Nie Qingyun felt as if he had suddenly found himself.
However, since he frequently showed an unsmiling face, Errong didn't know what he was thinking, so she acted slightly cautiously.
---
Although he was very happy with his wife, he couldn't forget the responsibility that he owed Sangyu. If something happened in Marquis Moyu's estate, he had to be the first one to go over there. If he didn't have time, he would let Errong go there first as his subst.i.tute.

Although it wasn't frequent, Errong occasionally seems depressed. He didn't know why. But, as soon as her eyes met his, she would smile as if there was nothing wrong.
