hat she was nearly out of patience.Su Qingyu looked coldly at Cheng Ruijin, "Husband Who are you calling husband Do you even have any shame Dwelling on him is useless, you'll never be able to marry in...The winter of the twentieth year of Xuande, inside the Su 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 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 severe winter, and her body couldn't take it anymore.

Su Qingyu felt a twinge of unease in her heart.

"Bang!"

The crisp sound of a lock clicking 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 with the Su family.

...And Cheng Ruijin still had a two-year-old child by her side. She had never seen this child before, and Cheng Ruijin was also unmarried.

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

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

Cheng Rujin's voice was soft, but her face held a clear expression of triumph. She had been waiting for this day for far too long, so long that she was nearly out of patience.

Su Qingyu looked coldly at Cheng Ruijin, "Husband Who are you calling husband Do you even have any shame Dwelling on him is useless, you'll never be able to marry into the Shen family."

Even if I die, you'll never be able to marry in.

The Shen family's status is far beyond what a commoner like Cheng Ruijin could aspire to. Let alone marrying in as the legitimate wife, even becoming a concubine would be out of her reach.

Cheng Ruijin, upon hearing this, not only did not become angry, but burst into laughter a few times. Then, gritting his teeth, he said, “I naturally have my own way, but in a while, it will be hard work for sister, don't scream too loudly.”

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

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

As soon as the child saw Shen Zhao, he rushed over and cried, "Daddy hug, daddy hug me."

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

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

She had been married to Shen Zhao for three years but hadn't consummated the marriage. Shen Zhao's excuse was that he wasn't capable on that front. She single-handedly endured the pressure from the Shen family 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 become depressed and inferior.

Because she had no children, her mother-in-law gave her a hard time and her sisters-in-law made fun of her. She endured all of this by herself.too long, so long that she was nearly out of patience.Su Qingyu looked coldly at Cheng Ruijin, "Husband Who are you calling husband Do you even have any shame Dwelling on him is useless, you'll never...
