Chapter 1

a child with Cheng Ru Jin. Su Qing Yu's heart felt like it was being ripped out by a sharp blade, paining her whole body to shiver.Ching Rujin walked step by step to Su Qingyu's front, her voice gloo...In the winter of the 20th year of Xuande, at Su's residence.

Su Qingyu's face was ashen, haggard and 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 she lived before she got married, I was locked inside.

She hasn't eaten or drunk anything for the past three days. It's a harsh winter, and her body can't take it anymore.

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

"Bang."

The crisp sound of a lock opening 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 have been living at the Su family's home.

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 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, but her face held a clear expression of satisfaction. She had been waiting for this day for so long, it felt like she was running out of patience.

Su Qingyu coldly looked at Cheng Rujin, "Husband Who are you calling husband Do you even have any shame You can't just think about him and get your hopes up. You'll never be able to marry into the Shen family."

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

The Shen family's status is far too high for someone like Cheng Ruijin, the descendant of a traitor, to even dream of. Not to mention marrying in as the legitimate wife, even becoming a concubine is beyond his reach.

Chéng Rújǐn, upon hearing this, not only did she not become angry, but she burst into laughter a few times. Then, gritting her teeth, she said: "Of course I have my own way, but in a while, it will be hard work for sister, don't shout too loudly."

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

As soon as his words fell, Shen Zhao walked in from outside, followed by a middle-aged man.

As soon as the child saw Shen Zhao, he rushed over and shouted, “Daddy hug, daddy hug me.”

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

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

She had been married to Shen Zhao for three years without consummating their marriage. Shen Zhao's reason was that he "couldn't do it." 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 become depressed and inferior.

Because she had no son, she was made difficult by her mother-in-law and ridiculed 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, paining her whole body to shiver.

Ching Rujin walked step by step to Su Qingyu's front, her voice gloomy: "Sister, he's not incapable, it's that he can't face you."

"Aside from being the legitimate daughter of a marquis, where do you excel over me If not for my family's reputation, how could I possibly lose to you"

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

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

Cheng Rujin slightly raised her chin, acting coquettishly as she leaned closer to Su Qingyu, and whispered in a low voice: "You're talking about the first time Let me think... it was at the funeral of Shen Family's third master. While his elders were discussing how to take advantage of filial piety to force you two into marriage, he was in his study with me turning over like a storm."

"So he's not incapable, 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 Look into your heart and ask yourself, how have I treated you these past few years

"Ever since Master Shen left, the first and second houses started vying for power. It's because of my full support for you, my dowry money was all used to help your business, and I even went to ask your uncle and cousin for help."

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

"I'm afraid you're worrying too much, even thinking about adopting a child. It's fine if you can't consummate your marriage."

"Shen Zhao, you have no heart."

By the time it was all said and done, Su Qingyu had strained her voice to its limits.

Shen Zhao looked at Su Qingyu with a blank expression, his face cold and hard. Only in his deep eyes did ripples appear.ed man.As soon as the child saw Shen Zhao, he rushed over and shouted, “Daddy hug, daddy hug me.”Even though she had already guessed what was going on, Su Qingyu still felt dizzy for a moment."Shen Zh...
