Two years into her marriage, Liu Fuying was still a virgin.
Her husband even personally suggested she find a pretty boy to keep—his only request was that she keep it discreet.

Chapter 108 Last Words
Jiang Susu was out of strength, and her hand holding the banknote dropped heavily.
However, her eyes were always on Liu Fuying's face, with both envy and guilt in her eyes.
"All the disasters today are caused by me. Chen Xiunian, Uncle Pei, or you, all resulted from the causes I planted back then. I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose but I can't escape the blame. It's perfect for me to die now. Disasters are what they deserve."
Her breathing became heavier and more rapid.
I'm afraid it has reached its limit.
"Also...Also be careful with Jiang Yan, be careful that they will send people to retaliate."
After saying this last sentence, it seemed as if all her strength had been used up, and she could no longer breathe.
Liu Fuying frowned and felt very confused.
Jiang Susu's words always made her feel that something big had happened.
But even if she wanted to ask more, she couldn't get anything from Jiang Susu. She could only watch Jiang Susu's pupils gradually dilate and she slowly lost consciousness.
Jiang Susu opened her eyes wide, not knowing what she saw, and she actually wanted to raise her hand to grab it.
But she had no strength and couldn't speak even when she opened her mouth.
What was frozen in front of her eyes was a smiling face in the breeze and bright moon.
He was sitting on horseback, holding a spear.
He is radiant and brilliant...a young general.
It was the young man who was ruined by her, Shen Xiunian!
…
Liu Fuying watched her die with her own eyes, and she herself couldn't tell whether she felt sad or bitter in her heart.
Although she did not deliberately inquire about the news of Jiang Susu and her son these days, she had thought about what the scene would be like if she met Jiang Susu one day, but she never thought it would be such a situation.
"Call...call someone to come and bring the child in first."
She turned around and gave instructions to the people below.
Turning around again, I saw Pei Zhouwu standing at the door opposite me without me noticing.
He walked over slowly, stood in front of Liu Fuying and stretched out his hand to her.
Liu Fuying took another look at Jiang Susu lying in front of him, his heart filled with emotion, and then he put his hand into Pei Zhouwu's palm and was pulled up by him.
She also noticed that Pei Zhouwu was holding an envelope in his other hand.
Soon, the people below took away Jiang Susu's body and the sleeping child.
Looking from a distance along the street, the entire street was covered in blood, all traces left by Jiang Susu, it was shocking.
"What did you and Shen Xiunian talk about that night two months ago?"
Liu Fuying turned around and asked Pei Zhouwu. Jiang Susu's sudden death today inevitably made her suspicious. Chen Xiunian said he had gone into the mountains for recuperation and there had been no news for two months. He also didn't ask anyone to go home to report his safety.
"Look at this."
Pei Zhouwu handed her the envelope.
She took it hesitantly, her heart beating wildly for no apparent reason.
"come over."
Pei Zhouwu pulled her up and took her into his house, using the warmth of his palms to comfort her and help her relax.
When they arrived at his yard, Pei Zhouwu pulled her to sit on the swing again.
Although there was no word on the envelope, she already had a hunch and guessed that the letter was written by Shen Xiunian.
The first two words in the letter are, Aying.
Seeing these two words, Liu Fuying felt something was wrong. Chen Xiunian had always called her by her full name, never like this.
"We've been married for five years, and I feel a lot of guilt towards you."
The words "married for five years" indicate that the letter was written by Shen Xiunian.
"I am so embarrassed that I can't even apologize to you in person, so I write this letter not to ask for your forgiveness, but just to tell you something in my heart that I didn't dare to say before.
Although you and I are connected by interests, I have never given you the respect you deserve. I cannot refute this and it is indeed stupid of me.
I always feel that no one in the world is as miserable as I am, so I hesitate to move forward and confine myself to a small circle, trying to deceive myself and escape.
It wasn't until Susu stood in front of me again that I felt like I was hit on the head.
I have never been the one who suffers in this world, but the people and soldiers in the border town whose families were destroyed because of me, and Pei Zhouwu who was wrongly imprisoned because of me.
The appearance of SuSu brought the bloody past back to my mind, making it impossible for me to escape. I finally admitted my cowardice and hypocrisy. If I couldn't turn back in time, a new tragedy would inevitably occur.
A sentence you said back then has been lingering in my mind over and over again in recent days. You said you looked down on me.
Yes, now even I don’t think highly of myself.
I also don't want my son to become a jerk through words and actions.
So, I have to go and atone.
For the people and soldiers who died tragically back then, for Pei Zhouwu, for Susu, for Huaijun, and for you.
That time, I went to Yizhou alone to pay tribute to your deceased mother. In fact, it was not only to conceal your secret meeting with Pei Zhouwu, but also to investigate your life experience. "
Seeing this, Liu Fuying's hand holding the letter paper involuntarily tightened again and again.
Background... What is there to investigate about her background?
"I wonder if you have ever thought about why my mother mistook you for Xu Liangyin, one of the many young women in the capital? I also suspected it, but I didn't take it seriously at first. During the trip to Yizhou, I met the old nanny who used to take care of my father. After much persuasion, I finally learned the truth from the nanny and your grandmother.
The real concubine of the Liu family, Liu Fuying, had already died on her way back to Yizhou to visit her relatives."
So far.
Liu Fuying's whole body was stiff and his face was pale.
She didn't dare to breathe loudly and continued to look down.
“But Xu Liangyin did not die, and she did not really fall into the water and die.
My mother and Xu Liangyin's biological mother Zhuang were playmates when they were young. They were not from the capital. My father met them when he left Beijing to visit his relatives. It was my father who fell in love with Zhuang first. However, my mother's family background was higher than Zhuang's, and my father was forced to marry my mother. However, after many years of marriage, my mother had never been pregnant. My father also secretly met Zhuang, and wanted to marry Zhuang into the mansion if they had a child, but my mother disagreed.
Later, the Xu family went bankrupt for unknown reasons, and Zhuang's parents both died and had nowhere to go.
At that time, Xu Liangyin was already over five years old, and I had been bought back home by my mother to be raised.
My father knew what happened to the Zhuang family, so he took Zhuang into the Shen family. However, my mother wanted to kill her and keep her daughter, so she forced Zhuang to leave the Shen family. Not long after, the news of Zhuang's death came. My father's grief made my mother obsessed.
Knowing that Xu Liangyin was allergic to peanuts, her mother added excessive amounts of peanut powder to the soup, causing Xu Liangyin to go into shock and coma. She then threw her into the pool in the backyard to create the illusion that she had accidentally drowned. When the body was fished out, it was ice-cold, and everyone thought she was dead.
When she was put into the coffin, the old lady discovered that Xu Liangyin's breath was weak and she was not dead yet. "
