After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Since meeting Lu Yan by the stream that day, Shen Ruoyan has become extremely active in washing clothes.

But Lu Yan didn't show up again for several days, which greatly dampened Shen Ruoyan's enthusiasm for work.

Dragging the heavy wooden basin to the stream, Shen Ruoyan picked up a few stones with familiarity, pressed one end of the clothes, let them float in the water, and used the flowing stream to wash the clothes. The effect was cleaner than what she washed by hand. .

After doing everything well, Shen Ruoyan clapped her hands with satisfaction, sat alone in the shade of a tree, looked at the green woods around her, and suddenly remembered that Lu Yan's birthday was coming soon.

I remember that in the last life, the first year after Shen Ruoyan married into the General's Mansion, she knew that Lu Yan didn't want to see her, so she stayed in her small courtyard very wisely and never interacted with him.

One day, Qin'er excitedly approached Shen Ruoyan's ear and said excitedly: "Miss, miss, I heard something!"

Shen Ruoyan put down the book in her hand. She hadn't seen Qin'er so excited for a long time. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and asked, "What's the matter? I see you are sweating from running."

Qin'er smiled, wiped her face with her sleeve nonchalantly, and told what she had learned, "Miss, I heard from Aunt Li in the kitchen that my uncle's birthday will be in a few days!"

Shen Ruoyan's hand holding the handkerchief paused slightly.

Seeing her young lady's unmoved look, Qin'er eagerly gave her advice, "Miss, on my birthday, you can give me a gift and say a few thoughtful words, then..."

Since accompanying Shen Ruoyan to marry into the General's Mansion, Qin'er has seen the cold relationship between the young lady and Mr. Lu, and is anxious in her heart.

Qin'er always believed that even though that incident happened before the marriage, with the young lady's talent and appearance, as long as she gave in a little and took the initiative to please, there was no man in the world who wouldn't be tempted.

"Miss, let's go shopping on the street tomorrow and choose a gift for the adults." Qin'er raised her head expectantly and suggested.

Shen Ruoyan didn't understand what Qin'er meant. She sat on a stool and thought deeply for a moment. Finally, she shook her head and said lightly: "Forget it."

Seeing that the young lady was unwilling, Qin'er had no choice but to say anything. Anyway, she would stay with the young lady no matter what.

Regarding Lu Yan's upcoming birthday, Shen Ruoyan planned to pretend not to know and just fool her into it, but she didn't expect that Lu Yan was a very ritualistic person. Xihe called over together and said that on any festival, the whole family must get together and have a good meal.

Naturally, this meal was very unpleasant.

At the dinner table, Su Xihe saw Shen Ruoyan and secretly rolled her eyes at her.Shen Ruoyan didn't want to see Su Xihe either, so she lowered her head and ate by herself.Lu Yan, who was sitting between the two of them, remained silent.

The atmosphere was very strange for a while.

When she was about to finish eating, Su Xihe couldn't hold it back anymore and said to Lu Yan: "Husband, today is your birthday. I use this jade bamboo to wish you success and prosperity."

With that said, Su Xihe took a brocade box from the servant. Inside was a shiny and shiny polygonatum odorifera, which looked like it was worth a lot of money.

Lu Yan said nothing and looked at Shen Ruoyan.

Shen Ruoyan's head was big.

Originally, when I heard that I was going to have dinner with Lu Yan and Su Xihe today, I was reluctant. Naturally, I came here empty-handed and just wanted to finish eating quickly and go back early.Su Xihe knew that she didn't bring anything, but she still gave gifts in front of her. Wasn't she deliberately trying to make her laugh?

It was definitely too late to prepare gifts at short notice. Shen Ruoyan quickly picked up the wine glass at hand, forced out a smile, saluted Lu Yan, and said, "Happy birthday."

How could Su Xihe let Shen Ruoyan off so easily? She asked deliberately: "Oh, sister, how can I just say a congratulatory message? This is too perfunctory. Don't you think you haven't prepared any gifts?"

Shen Ruoyan said calmly: "How could it be? The gift is in my courtyard. I came in a hurry today and I was careless and didn't take it with me. I'll have someone deliver it to me later."

Lu Yan took a deep look at Shen Ruoyan, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Xihe wanted to say something else, but she didn't dare to go too far due to Lu Yan's presence, so she finally kept her mouth shut.

Shen Ruoyan thought that the matter would just go away, but that night, Lu Yan suddenly barged in.

The boy's cheeks were red, and he smelled heavily of alcohol. He was obviously drunk.

Shen Ruoyan had finished washing and was getting ready to rest. She was only wearing pajamas. Seeing that Lu Yan was unsteady, she had to get out of bed to support him.

Through the thin fabric, Shen Ruoyan felt the other party's slightly higher body temperature and strong muscles, which made her feel a little unnatural.

"Do you want a drink of water?" She didn't know what was going on with Lu Yan's madness. He came to her in the middle of the night. Shen Ruoyan just wanted to send him away quickly.

Lu Yan pursed his lips and didn't say a word. Just when Shen Ruoyan thought he had fallen asleep, Lu Yan suddenly approached Shen Ruoyan and asked awkwardly: "Where is my gift?"

Shen Ruoyan was a little surprised. Did Lu Yan come to ask for a gift in person?

He was even more certain in his heart that Lu Yan was really drunk, and he was thinking about grabbing something at random to deal with it?

But he didn't know that his reaction was seen by Lu Yan.

Lu Yan snorted coldly and asked for the gift himself.

In bed of course.

In the second year, Shen Ruoyan gained experience.

In order not to suffer from back pain due to being tormented by Lu Yan, I prepared a gift early.

At that time, her sister-in-law had already given birth to Xiao Changchang, and Shen Ruoyan became an aunt for the first time. She was extremely happy, and she was busy sewing various small clothes and shoes for Xiao Changchang all day long.

Lu Yan came over several times and his expression softened a lot when he saw the needlework on the table. He would often sit aside and watch Shen Ruoyan embroidery stitches in ecstasy.

Making something for her beloved nephew, Shen Ruoyan was in a good mood. She took the embroidered fabric in her hand and asked, "Which color do you think is more suitable for this place?"

Lu Yan cleared his throat unnaturally, with a bit of shyness in his tone, "Everything is fine."

Shen Ruoyan felt strange, but didn't think much about it and continued her movements.

On the day of Lu Yan's birthday, Shen Ruoyan was very sensible. After Su Xihe showed off her gift, she quickly took out the jade ruyi she had prepared.

After seeing the contents of the box clearly, Lu Yan asked with a solemn face: "Are you going to give me this?"

Shen Ruoyan didn't understand what Lu Yan was dissatisfied with. Could it be that he disliked the Ruyi jade for being too cheap? Although compared with Su Xihe's gift, her palm-sized Ruyi jade was indeed not valuable, but it could still be considered a gift. , Lu Yan is too disrespectful to say this.

Su Xihe on the side felt proud and was about to say something sarcastic, but Lu Yan asked again: "Where are those things you embroidered?"
