Chapter 82: The Sister-in-law Affair

Chapter 82

“Did I disturb mom?”

Seeing him come back, Rong Dai asked.

He shook his head, his expression a little strange, and Rong Dai immediately became nervous, thinking it was because his mother was dissatisfied.

“Did it not suit mom's taste?”

Seeing her nervous, he looked at her, “You did very well. You're my wife, even if you want to please someone, you only need to please me. You don't need to deliberately try to please anyone else in the family.”

Although Rong Dai's heart was warmed that he said this, given her current situation, it would be difficult to do so.

“Then what's... wrong with you?” After interacting with him for so many days, she could basically guess what was causing even a subtle change in his expression.

But he had just gone up to deliver a bowl of wonton soup, so how could his expression have changed so much in that short time?

“I'll tell you about this slowly when I have time. There are some things...I don't really know how to deal with.”

He said seriously looking at her.

After so many years, he was of course aware of what his mother had done for him. It was just that over the years, he had also gotten used to being alone.

He was very surprised that Rong Dai could enter his world, so he cherished her even more.

Over the years, his mind had been focused on work, so there were inevitable downsides, and he no longer knew how to interact with his family. Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Rong Dai was a little startled, because it didn't seem like the kind of thing he would say.

But she didn't press him further, only held his hand gently and said earnestly, “It's okay. Remember I'm by your side. You're not alone, Shao Ting.”

Even in her past life when he was the Emperor, there were still problems he couldn't solve. How much more so in this modern era which was no longer an imperial era. There would naturally be many difficult issues.

The husband and wife then went upstairs carrying the bird's nest soup and wontons and knocked on Huo Mei Shu's door. Before Rong Dai could say anything, she heard Huo Mei Shu's irritated voice, "I already said I won't eat! I won't eat, I just won't eat..."

"Huo Mei Shu, my wife worked hard to make this. How dare you speak to her in that manner?"

"Such a fine guqin, how could you bear to throw it? It's a bit of a pity."

Huo Mei Shu viciously bit into a wonton, anger and grievance immediately appearing on her face as she glared at the guqin as if it were her enemy!

"I won't just throw it, I'll pack it up and mail it back to that cheap woman!"

Hearing this, Rong Dai felt this matter was not simple. She sat down across from Huo Mei Shu and waited for her to finish eating.

"Feel better now?" Seeing Huo Mei Shu eat contentedly, she gently asked.

Huo Mei Shu nodded, looking at her with shining eyes, "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are too amazing. Not only embroidery but cooking so deliciously too."

Rong Dai smiled lightly. There was still much more she could do. Who told her to be a well-educated young lady from a prestigious family in her past life, yet was foolishly tricked and forced to learn cooking as well.

"Let's not talk about me. Your mother has been worried about you all day. If it's convenient, could you tell me what happened?"

She tentatively asked.

With her stomach full, Huo Mei Shu's anger had lessened somewhat. She got up and took out a handwritten musical score, then flipped through her phone to pull up a new song to show Rong Dai the sheet music.

Rong Dai was skilled in the six arts. Although the notation was different from her past life, looking at the same symbols, she could still make comparisons.

"This...seems to be the same song, just with some minor modifications made in parts of the mobile phone version."

"This was a close girlfriend from my conservatory, no, now she's a cheap woman! I wrote this song and only showed it to her, but she completely plagiarized it!"

"This guqin was a gift from her. Now just looking at it makes me nauseous! To think I even helped her so many times! She actually dared to use me like this!"

Huo Mei Shu was nearly about to explode with rage, her face ashen.

Rong Dai understood after listening. Someone had stolen her musical score and published it as their own. No wonder she was so angry. If it had happened to herself, she would also be furious.

How could she not be angry at someone misappropriating her hard work?

"Don't be angry first. Can we get this song back?" She comforted Huo Mei Shu, but suddenly felt her comfort was meaningless.

If they could get it back, with the young miss's temperament, she would have gone to find someone already. How could she possibly just vent her frustrations at home?
