When Madam He was disciplining Xiaoqing, the main room was so quiet that only the sound of chewing could be heard.

Wei Dachuan only had eyes for the vegetables and didn't even glance at her, so naturally he wouldn't speak up for her.

She had just married into the family when she was immediately met with hostility from her mother-in-law.

Xiao Qing's face was a little pale.

When they first met, Mrs. He was incredibly kind.

He held her hand and called her "my darling".

She hasn't even had a bite to eat yet, and her future has already been arranged?

“Mother, don’t we have maids and servants at home? Besides, if I serve you, what will my husband do?”

Xiao Qing glanced at Wei Dachuan.

But the latter buried himself in his food.

"What, you don't want to serve me? It's only natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her parents-in-law. You can't argue with that. Sigh, people from humble families just don't understand manners. I'll definitely teach you properly from now on. From now on, don't go out unless you have to. It's a virtue for a woman to stay at home. You must uphold your wifely duties, you know? Our Wei family is a respectable family..."

He talked on and on for more than ten minutes, and Xiao Qing couldn't get a word in edgewise.

All she saw was her mother-in-law's saliva splattering everywhere.

The food on the table was all stained with some of the scum.

Suppressing her disgust, she forced a smile.

"Yes, I understand, Mother. I will serve you and Father well from now on, and I will also serve my husband well, so that I can give birth to the eldest grandson of the Wei family as soon as possible."

"That's right, you're sensible. Oh, there's one more thing I haven't mentioned. As a daughter-in-law of the Wei family, you have to stand and serve the food like this at every meal. It's your honor. After we finish eating, all the food on the table will be yours, understand? Alright, I'm full too. Go and serve your father-in-law and Da Chuan. After they finish eating, it will be your turn. Remember to eat quickly. I need to take a bath after I finish my walk, and you'll have to serve me then."

Ms. He picked her teeth with chopsticks.

She pulled the bits of meat out of her teeth, held them in her hand, looked at them, then brought them to her nose to smell them before putting them back in her mouth, chewing and swallowing them.

After she finished speaking, she got up from the stool and went out for a walk.

This set of actions completely killed Xiao Qing's appetite.

But the husband and father-in-law seemed to be used to it.

"My husband, let me serve you some food. Here, this stir-fried bamboo shoots with cured pork should be quite delicious. Please try it."

Xiao Qing moved closer to Wei Dachuan, speaking in a coquettish tone and pretending to be shy as she served him food.

"I don't like dried bamboo shoots, you go and get some for Dad. Also, stay away from me, it's so hot it's killing me."

Wei Dachuan finally raised his head, glanced at Xiao Qing, and unceremoniously pushed her away.

"Forehead....."

Xiao Qing was very embarrassed.

Just as she was at a loss, her father-in-law finished his meal and put down his bowl.

He wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

He walked away without looking back.

Wei Dachuan then put down his chopsticks and got up to leave with him.

His lips were covered in grease, but he didn't care.

Xiaoqing had no appetite at all looking at the leftovers on the table. All the joy she had felt that day vanished the moment she stepped into the room.

She somewhat regretted marrying into the family.

My mother-in-law is difficult to get along with, and my father-in-law never speaks a word to her.

My husband is still a blockhead.

Xiaoqing is now only hoping to get pregnant soon, hoping that after giving birth to the eldest grandson of the Wei family, she can gain status through her son.

I haven't eaten all day, and my stomach started cramping.

She finally sat down.

I filled an empty bowl halfway with dry rice, but didn't eat a single bite of the vegetables. The rice wasn't fragrant at all, and it even had a slightly musty smell, probably because it was old rice.

However, compared to what she ate every day at the matchmaker's house, which consisted of coarse rice and ash flour, this was a far cry from what she had experienced.

It's much, much better now.

At the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), it was already pitch black outside, and not a single star could be seen in the sky.

In half an hour, everyone should be going to bed, but when He came back from her walk, she started clamoring to take a bath.

After the old woman boiled the water, the maid Xiaochun poured the water into the bucket.

Xiaoqing helped He Shi back to her room to serve her a bath. While massaging her shoulders and rubbing her back, she also had to listen to her admonitions. It was even more tiring than when she was a maid.

"Alright, I won't keep you any longer. Da Chuan should be back by now. After you help him wash up, go to bed early. Remember not to sleep in tomorrow. A wife of the Wei family must be diligent, understand? Also, keep the sheets you and Da Chuan slept on tonight. I'm going to check them tomorrow morning."

After Ms. He finished speaking, Xiaoqing's heart skipped a beat.

Check the sheets?

How could she have forgotten about that?

Virgins are all covered in blood, what should we do?

Where is she going to get blood?

Xiaoqing's face grew paler and paler, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

be terribly upset.

"Get out of here. What are you doing standing there like an idiot? You're such a fool."

Seeing that she was standing there without speaking or moving, Mrs. He felt displeased.

She agreed to the marriage because Xiaoqing was sweet-talking and good at flattering people, and also because her parents were dead, making her easy to control.

But I never expected her to be so slow-witted.

"Yes, yes, I understand, Mother."

Xiao Qing ran away as if fleeing.

They forgot to close the door.

Mrs. He was so angry that her eyes almost rolled to the sky.

Xiaoqing bumped into Wei Dachuan as she returned to the bridal chamber.

"My lord, you haven't taken a bath yet, have you? I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's any hot water."

Xiaoqing wanted to use boiling water as an excuse to come up with a solution.

But Wei Dachuan pushed her onto the bed.

"Why wash it? You can wash it after you're done."

After saying that, he started eating.

No, no—

Xiaoqing was so scared she almost lost her mind.

But her strength was no match for Wei Dachuan, this man.

I pushed for a long time, but it wouldn't budge.

Fortunately, there were no candles lit inside.

Otherwise, Wei Dachuan would have noticed her terrified expression.
