Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 544: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (66)

In the past, with Fu Huaiying as the target and Liu Shuyu's family having a high status, the old lady rarely criticized Liu Shuyu.

Now that the Marquis' Mansion has lost its power, it is in urgent need of cultivating younger generations who can bring honor to the family. Liu Shuyu, who has not been pregnant for three years, has become a thorn in the old lady's side.

Every day when paying respects to the old lady, he always talked about Liu Shuyu's belly.

Liu Shuyu could tolerate it once or twice, but she couldn't stand it if it happened every day.

She was the daughter of a high-ranking official, and she was also very proud and arrogant. She couldn't stand being asked why she was not pregnant in front of so many servants.

This pregnancy is not her sole responsibility, so why are they only urging her and not Zhao Xuan?

She had privately consulted a doctor before, and there was nothing wrong with the couple's health. If they couldn't get pregnant, it could only be said that fate hadn't arrived. What was the point of urging them? It wasn't like you could get pregnant just because you wanted to!

What's more, their mansion has long lost its former glory, so why should they still act like court ladies?

Liu Shuyu couldn't stand it anymore and said a few words to the old lady, which made her very angry.

After Zhao Xuan learned about this, he had no choice but to persuade both sides.

After coaxing the old lady, he came to coax Liu Shuyu.

Seeing that her husband still wanted her to give in to the old lady, Liu Shuyu was so angry that she refused to let Zhao Xuan into the room for several days, and treated him coldly and ignored him.

Zhao Xuan was patient and coaxed at first, but later he gradually became tired and annoyed.

Since Liu Shuyu didn't want to see him, he might as well just stay outside.

Liu Shuyu was just making fun of it originally, just to see her husband's attitude and to comfort herself a little more.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xuan simply didn't even go home, which made Liu Shuyu so angry that she said, "If you have the ability, don't come back!"

After hearing about the third wife's affairs, the old lady became angry and didn't want to care about them anymore.

Zhao Xuan didn't go home for almost a month.

Liu Shuyu finally couldn't sit still anymore, and after being persuaded by her maid, she decided to give in.

However, what Liu Shuyu did not expect was that Zhao Xuanhui did come back, but he brought back a prostitute.

The woman had a charming appearance, but her eyes were clear and stubborn when she looked at people.

Zhao Xuan not only redeemed the woman, but also insisted on taking her as his concubine.

Liu Shuyu couldn't believe that Zhao Xuan fell in love with another woman after only staying outside for a month.

This was a great insult to Liu Shuyu.

Zhao Xuan seemed to have been bewitched by the other party, and insisted on taking a concubine regardless of Liu Shuyu's objections.

Liu Shuyu was so angry that she went to the old lady to seek justice. The old lady was so angry that she almost died. If you want to take a concubine, just take a concubine. Why take a prostitute?!

Do you think the people outside haven't seen enough of the Marquis' Mansion's jokes?!

Upon checking the woman's background, it turned out that she was the daughter of a criminal.

No wonder she can compose poems and essays, is proficient in playing the zither, and is quite talented and proud, which makes her very different from other prostitutes.

It can naturally attract people like Zhao Xuan and arouse their desire to save Fengchen.

But redeeming her is one thing, but what respectable family would take a prostitute as a concubine?!

What's more, she is the daughter of a guilty minister. If someone with ulterior motives gets hold of her, will the Dingbei Marquisate ever be able to revive itself?!

The old lady firmly disagreed, and Zhao Xuan had no choice but to arrange for the woman to be raised in another courtyard.

Who knew that a few days later, the woman was found to be pregnant.

The old lady, who had originally been resolute, immediately changed her attitude and asked Zhao Xuan to carry Liu in despite Liu Shuyu's objection.

This is simply a slap in Liu Shuyu's face.

Liu Shuyu couldn't bear this anger in vain. She couldn't accept her husband taking a concubine, and she couldn't accept her husband taking a prostitute as a concubine.

This is a humiliation to her, it is mistreating her and slapping her in the face from a distance!

Liu Shuyu directly told Zhao Xuan that if he wanted to take a concubine, then they should divorce.

Zhao Xuan originally felt a little guilty towards Liu Shuyu and wanted to make it up to her in the future.

But Liu Shuyu was firm and thorny, so Zhao Xuan got angry and let her do whatever she wanted.

When the old lady learned that Liu Shuyu wanted to divorce like Fu Huaiying, she immediately warned Zhao Xuan not to divorce!

There is already Fu Huaiying. If Liu Shuyu divorces again, the Marquis' Mansion will really become the biggest laughing stock in the capital!

Zhao Xuan disagreed, so Liu Shuyu went straight back to her parents' home to complain.

Liu Shuyu had suffered such a great deal of anger, and with her temper she naturally would not choose to swallow her anger, not to mention that the Marquis' Mansion was no longer what it used to be.

In the Marquis' Mansion, Liu Shuyu can fight like a proud peacock, but when she gets home, her grievances are infinitely magnified.

Unexpectedly, her father directly rejected Liu Shuyu's idea of ​​divorce.

"Everyone knows that the Dingbei Marquisate has lost power. If we divorce at this critical moment, won't it let everyone know that our Liu family is a group of people who curry favor with the powerful?"

"Besides, it's common for men to take concubines. You haven't had a husband for three years, so it's reasonable for Zhao Xuan to take a concubine."

"Even though it's against etiquette for him to take a prostitute as a concubine, the more important thing right now is that you have to have a child. Otherwise, in the future, the illegitimate sons will be just there to help with the cooking, and there will be no trace of your child."

"Before you marry, obey your father. After you marry, obey your husband. After your husband dies, obey your son. Only your children can support you in the future."

His father's words woke Liu Shuyu up like a hammer.

It made Liu Shuyu truly see the difficulties that women face when getting married.

The awkward marriage was like a wet dress that Liu Shuyu could not take off and walk around naked, and it was sticky, cold, and uncomfortable.

It also made Liu Shuyu understand how difficult and courageous it was for Fu Huaiying to divorce him at that time.

Liu's mother felt sorry for her daughter who was crying in front of her, but she was helpless. She could only tell Liu Shuyu to keep a tight rein on the household chores, take good care of the concubines, and get pregnant as soon as possible.

Liu Shuyu returned to her parents' home with a written divorce letter, but when she left, she only brought a prescription for her health.

...

Zhao Ying, who was in Wei Mansion, had no idea about the major events that happened in the Marquis' Mansion.

The Eastern Palace was still under renovation, and the emperor ordered Zhao Ying to stay in the Wei Mansion to recuperate and give birth, and he had already hired a midwife and a wet nurse.

The day Zhao Ying gave birth happened to be the summer solstice.

Wei Changheng was not around, and Zhao Ying was instinctively a little scared. She wanted to ask someone to go to the Marquis' Mansion to invite her mother over, but then she remembered that the Marquis' Mansion had already severed ties with the Wei family.

When it started, Zhao Ying only felt waves of pain in her stomach, and a hot stream flowed out between her legs.

Zhao Ying was very scared, even like she had lost her soul. She did whatever someone said in her ear.

She was helped into the delivery room and lay on the bed with her legs spread out like a puppet.

Until the pain in her stomach became more and more severe, Zhao Ying gasped and grabbed Xier's hand, asking her to call Wei Changheng.

"Madam! A servant has already gone to the government office to ask for your husband. Please work harder! Try harder!"

At this time, Wei Changheng was busy in the East Palace preparing to marry Li from Longxi. The Ministry of Rites sent him a list of gifts and asked him to review it.
