Chapter 1

is study with me, making love."So he's not bad, he's amazing when we're in bed together.Su Qingyu looked at Shen Zhao in disbelief, her voice trembling as she said."Shen Zhao, how could you do such a...In winter of the 20th year of Xuande, Su's family residence.

Su Qingyu's face was pale and haggard, she beat 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.

She hadn't eaten or drunk anything for three days. It was the middle of winter, and her body couldn't take it anymore.

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

"Bang!"

The crisp sound of a lock clicking echoed from outside, the door creaked open, but who walked in 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 have been living at the Su family's home.

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

But the child's facial features…are remarkably similar to 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 also brought a doctor."

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

Su Qingyu looked coldly at Cheng Rujin, "Husband Who are you calling husband Do you even have any shame You can't marry into the Shen family. It's pointless for you to dream about it. You'll never be able to enter their gates."

Even if I die, you won't be able to marry in.

The Shen family's status is far beyond what a sinner like Cheng Rujin could ever aspire to. She wouldn't even be qualified to be a concubine, let alone the legitimate wife.

Cheng Ruijin, upon hearing this, not only did she not get angry, but burst into laughter a few times. Then, gritting her teeth, she said, "I naturally have my way, but in a while, I'll have to trouble Sister. Don't scream too loudly."

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

As soon as the words were spoken, 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 her suspicions, Su Qingyu still felt a wave of dizziness.

"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 but they had never consummated their marriage. Shen Zhao's excuse was that "that side" didn't work. She single-handedly bore the pressure from the Shen family and secretly studied pharmacology. Because Shen Zhao didn't even have a concubine, she didn't suspect anything and instead cared for him everywhere, afraid that he would feel inferior and depressed.

Because she had no children, she was given a hard time by her mother-in-law and ridiculed by her sisters-in-law. She endured all of this on her own.

Can Shen Zhao actually had a child with Cheng Ruijin, Su Qingyu's heart felt like it was being ripped apart by a sharp blade, pain so intense that her whole body trembled.

Cheng Rujin walked step by step to Su Qingyu's side, his voice gloomy: "Sister, he's not incapable, it's just that he's incapable when facing you."

"You have nothing on me except for being the legitimate daughter of a Marquis's family. If it weren't for your family background, how could you possibly surpass me"

For Cheng Ruijin, her family background was like a thorn piercing her heart. Fortunately, three years of forbearance had not been in vain.

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

Cheng Ruijin slightly raised her chin, approaching Su Qingyu coquettishly and whispering, "You're talking about the first time Let me think, it was at the funeral of Master Shen’s third grandson. His elders were discussing forcing you two into marriage under the guise of filial piety, but he was in his study with me, making love."

So he's not bad, he's amazing when we're in bed together.

Su Qingyu looked at Shen Zhao in disbelief, 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"

Ever since Master Shen left, the eldest and second branches have started vying for power. It's because of my full support that you are where you are now. I used all my dowry money to help you manage your business, and even went to ask your uncle and cousins for favors.

"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 dwelling too much on worries, even thinking about adopting a child. It wouldn't matter if we couldn't consummate our marriage."

"Shen Zhao, you have no heart."

By the end, Su Qingyu had cried herself hoarse.

Shen Zhao looked at Su Qingyu with an emotionless face, his expression cold and hard. Only the depths of his eyes rippled with a hint of turbulence.gyu coquettishly and whispering, "You're talking about the first time Let me think, it was at the funeral of Master Shen’s third grandson.
