Chapter 1

Ruijin coldly, "Husband Who are you calling husband Do you have any shame It's useless to think about him, you will never be able to marry into the Shen family."Even if I die, you will never be able t...In the winter of the 20th year of Xuande's reign, Su's family residence.

Su Qingyu's face was pale and haggard, she pounded on the locked door with all her might.

Three days ago, my grandmother fell ill. I went back home to visit her. As soon as I stepped into the room where I lived before getting married, I was locked inside.

For the past three days, she hasn't eaten or drunk anything. With the harsh winter biting down, her body simply couldn't take it anymore.

Su Qingyu felt a twinge of unease in her heart.

"Bang."

A crisp click of the lock echoed from outside, the door creaked open slowly, but the person who entered surprised Su Qingyu.

"Cousin How is it you"

The visitor is Su Qingyu's distant cousin, Cheng Ruijin. Cheng Ruijin's mother is her aunt, and the two of them have been living with the Su family.

And Cheng Rujin still held a two-year-old child by the hand. She had never seen this child before, and Cheng Rujin was also unmarried.

This child's features... are remarkably similar to those of her husband, Shen Zhao.

"Sister, don't waste your effort. You will never leave this house for the rest of your life. Our husbands have brought a doctor."

Cheng Ruijin's voice was soft, but her face held a clear expression of pride. She had waited for this day for far too long, so long that she had almost lost patience.

Su Qingyu looked at Cheng Ruijin coldly, "Husband Who are you calling husband Do you have any shame It's useless to think about him, you will never be able to marry into the Shen family."

Even if I die, you will never be able to marry into this family.

The Shen family's status is far too high for someone like Cheng Ruijin, a descendant of a convicted criminal, to even aspire to. Let alone becoming the main wife, she wouldn't even be qualified to be a concubine.

Cheng Ruijin, upon hearing this, not only did not get angry, but laughed heartily a few times. Then, gritting her teeth, she said: "Of course I have my way, but in a while, it will be hard on elder sister, don't scream too loud."

Su Qingyu's heart sank, and she asked, "What do you want to do"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhao walked in from outside, followed by a middle-aged man.

The child saw Shen Zhao and ran towards him, saying, "Daddy hug, daddy hug me."

Even though she had a hunch, Su Qingyu still felt dizzy for a moment.

"Shen Zhao, didn't you say you... wouldn't have children Where did this child come from"

She had been married to Shen Zhao for three years without consummation. Shen Zhao's excuse was that he wasn't capable on that front. She bore the pressure from the Shen family alone and secretly studied pharmacology. Since Shen Zhao didn't even have a concubine, she didn't suspect anything and instead cared for him everywhere, fearing he would be depressed or inferior.

Because she had no accomplishments, she was bullied by her mother-in-law and mocked by her sisters-in-law. She endured all of this silently.

Ke Shen Zhao actually had a child with Cheng Ru Jin. Su Qing Yu's heart felt like it was being ripped out by a sharp blade, aching all over.

Cheng Ruijin walked step by step in front of Su Qingyu, his voice was gloomy: "Cousin, he's not incapable, he just can't when facing you."

Besides being the daughter of a marquis's house, what makes you better than me If not for my family background, how could I possibly lose to you

For Cheng Ruijin, her family background was like a thorn stuck in her heart. Fortunately, three years of enduring it hadn't been in vain.

Su Qingyu glared at Cheng Ruijin and asked, "When did you two start"

Cheng Ruijin slightly raised her chin, approaching Su Qingyu coquettishly and whispering, "You mean the first time I was thinking it was at the funeral of Shen's third master. His elders were discussing using filial piety to push for your marriage while he was in his study making love with me."

So he's not bad, he knows how to please me in bed.

Su Qingyu looked at Shen Zhao incredulously, her voice trembling as she said,

"Shen Zhao, how could you do such a thing Ask yourself, how have I treated you these past few years"

Since Shen San Ye left, the First House and Second House began to fight for power. It was I who put all my effort into helping you. I even used all my dowry money to help you manage your business, and I went to ask your uncle and cousin for help on business matters.

"I will still bear your mother's curses, for without a child, I have become the sinner of the Shen family."

"I'm afraid your thoughts are too heavy, even thinking about adopting a child, even if you can never consummate the marriage."

"Shen Zhao, you have no heart."

By the end, Su Qingyu had cried herself hoarse.

Shen Zhao looked at Su Qingyu with an impassive face, her expression cold and hard. Only in her deep eyes did a ripple appear.nd whispering, "You mean the first time I was thinking it was at the funeral of Shen's third master.
