Chapter 1

heng Ruijin wouldn't be qualified.Cheng Rujin, hearing this, not only did not get angry, but laughed heartily a few times. Then, gritting her teeth, she said: "I naturally have my way, but in a while,...In winter of the 20th year of Xuande's reign, inside the Su family residence.

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

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

For the past three days, she hadn't eaten or drunk anything. It was a severe winter, and her body couldn't take it anymore.

Su Qingyu's heart surged with a hint of unease.

"Bang."

A crisp sound of unlocking came from outside, the door creaked open, but the person who entered was unexpected to 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 have been living at the Su residence.

And Cheng Ruijin's hand was still holding a two-year-old child, she had never seen this child before, and Cheng Ruijin was also unmarried.

But this child's features... are remarkably similar to her husband, Shen Zhao.

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

Cheng Rujin's voice was soft, and a clearly proud expression was on her face. She had waited for this day for far too long; so long that she was almost losing patience.

Su Qingyu coldly looked at Cheng Ruijin, "Husband Who are you calling husband Do you even have any shame You can't marry into the Shen family. You daydream all you want, it's not going to happen."

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 traitor, to even aspire to. Let alone becoming the legitimate wife, even as a concubine, Cheng Ruijin wouldn't be qualified.

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

Su Qingyu's heart sank. She asked, "What do you want to do"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Shen Zhao walked in from outside, accompanied by a middle-aged man.

The child, seeing Shen Zhao, ran over and cried out, "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 able to on that side. 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 that he would feel inferior and depressed.

Because she had no children, she was made difficult by her mother-in-law and ridiculed by her sisters-in-law. She endured all of this herself.

Ke Shen Zhao actually had a child with Cheng Ru Jin. Su Qing Yu's heart felt like it was being ripped apart by a sharp blade, paining her whole body.

Cheng Ruijin took step by step to Su Qingyu's front, and said in a gloomy voice: "Sister, he is not incapable, he is incapable when facing you."

"You only have the status of a legitimate daughter of a marquis's family. In what other way do you surpass me If it weren't for your family background, how could I possibly lose to you"

For Cheng Ruijin, her family background was like a thorn embedded in her heart. Thankfully, three years of forbearance hadn't been in vain.

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

Cheng Ruijin slightly raised her chin and, with a hint of pride and mischief, leaned close to Su Qingyu, whispering in a low voice: "You mean the first time Let me think... it was at the funeral of Third Master Shen. While his elders were scheming about getting us married under the guise of filial piety, he was with me in his study, making love."

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 Master Shen left, the eldest and second houses have started vying for power. It's because I wholeheartedly helped you, using my dowry money to help your business, and even going to ask your uncle and cousin for assistance.

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

"I'm afraid you're overthinking things, even considering adopting a child. It wouldn't matter if you never consummated the marriage."

"Shen Zhao, you have no heart."

By the end, Su Qingyu had given it her all.

Shen Zhao stared at Su Qingyu with a blank expression. His face was cold and hard, but his deep eyes rippled with emotion.uldn't matter if you never consummated the marriage.""Shen Zhao, you have no heart."By the end, Su Qingyu had given it her all.Shen Zhao stared at Su Qingyu with a blank expression.
