Qǐfēi, a pomegranate spirit, had wished to cultivate to immortality for thousands of years. However, just as she was about to reach the final step, she was struck by lightning, losing all her cul...
"The mistress that Wang Laosan found was a 'skinny horse' that an official had kept outside after his house was confiscated."
When the purge took place, these creatures kept outside were left to fend for themselves.
"That woman was taken in by Wang Laosan." Shura said calmly.
Wang Laosan is Yunniang's husband.
As an ordinary person, he was no match for the "skinny horse" (a term used to describe a woman who is beautiful but lacks charm). Within a few days, he became completely devoted to her, utterly captivated by her.
To become a "thin horse" (a euphemism for a young, thin woman), one must be no ordinary person.
Wang Laosan was just one of the fish she kept; besides Wang Laosan, there were naturally other men.
And there's more than one.
However, Wang Laosan was the easiest to fool; she could ask him anything, and he would be willing to give up everything he had.
After that, the skinny girl got pregnant.
As for which man it was, she didn't know, but that didn't stop her from telling each man the same thing, just to see which man reacted the best.
The skinny girl was very clear-headed. She was still young and could still control men, but this couldn't go on forever.
Therefore, her constant accumulation of wealth is for the sake of future security.
Now that she's pregnant, she wants to give birth to the child. After all, men are unreliable, and she needs a child to support her.
But this is on the condition that she can find a cheap father for the child.
Many of those who come looking for "skinny horses" are just looking for fun; they can't handle the shrewish wives at home.
As soon as the "skinny horse" announced her pregnancy, someone immediately offered her money to go to a clinic for an abortion.
Only Old Wang was overjoyed.
He had long harbored resentment towards his previous child, who had always been sickly.
Now that the skinny woman has his child, he is very happy and immediately promises to marry her and take good care of their child.
Although Shouma despised Wang Laosan's treatment of his first wife, she was the one who benefited from it all, so she naturally served him with her charm and grace.
She didn't even need to show her face; Wang Laosan chased the people away, saving her a lot of effort.
Now Wang Laosan treats her like an ancestor. Shouma knows Wang Laosan's mentality and often says to him, "Our son will definitely be very filial when he grows up."
Because he knew his father treated him the best.
Wang Laosan was coaxed into smiling every day.
"So whose child is it?" Qifei asked curiously. "And how does she know it's definitely a son? What if it's a girl?"
People at that time placed great importance on continuing the family line, believing that only by having a son could one have descendants.
Daughters all belong to other people.
Although Qifei scoffed at this idea, in their demon realm, women were the most precious.
I don't know why humans are the exact opposite of them.
However, Qifei had seen this kind of thing many times before and was already used to it.
"It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, because the child itself is not healthy and may not be able to be born."
Shura's voice was indifferent, as if he were talking about some small flowers and grass.
"What do you mean?" Qi Fei was startled and looked at Xiu Luo in surprise.
"Generally, before becoming a 'thin horse' (a horse that has been bred into a 'thin horse'), its body is fed various secret drugs."
This medicine contains a contraceptive ingredient that prevents conception; using it will make a person more charming and supple.
However, the matter of conceiving is something they are completely ineligible for.
Although it's unclear why this skinny girl got pregnant, her body is no longer suitable for pregnancy.
So even if you find out you're pregnant now, there won't be much time left to store the pregnancy.
Qi Fei was secretly alarmed. So, those thin horses were given as gifts to different people, which meant that they were destined to be just toys for men to amuse themselves, right?
Despite her discomfort, Qifei knew she had no right to say anything.
This is a social phenomenon, just as the trafficking of women and children has been an enduring problem throughout history.
It's hard to judge whether some people are willing to become service providers in order to live a better life.
"So you mean that Wang Laosan's child isn't actually his child, and his real child is Jun'er?"
Qifei could foresee what would happen next.
“That’s right. Let him be happy for a while longer. The longer it goes on and the more emotion he invests, the more he will regret it and suffer in the future.”
What Shura didn't tell Qifei was that on the day of the incident, he had someone drug Wang Laosan, ensuring that he would never have another child.
It's like severing his roots from the very foundation of his own being.
"If that's the case, I'll have to ask Yunniang tomorrow if she's already divorced him. Could that bastard have written a letter of divorce?"
The terms of divorce papers and separation agreements are different nowadays.
A peaceful separation means there's no longer any affection between the parties, but a letter of divorce is different.
A divorce letter is a document in which a woman is divorced because she is at fault.
Regardless of whether Yunniang will go back to find another man to help Jun'er find a father.
But she absolutely cannot accept the letter of divorce; she has done nothing wrong.
Shura's large hand slowly caressed Qifei's waist, "When you're with me, don't think about other men too much."
He then made Qifei sit on his lap, and a wet kiss landed on her chest.
Soon, soft, ambiguous moans filled the room again.
As dawn broke, Shura had another hearty meal before heading to the Zhenfu Division.
Qifei lay in bed all day with a sore back and aching waist before she could finally sit up.
This man must have been really pent up; he took her several times in a frenzy, and she almost lost her life.
Qifei rubbed her waist, which seemed to be missing. Seeing Jun'er playing obediently in the courtyard, she went to find Yunniang.
Yunniang was indeed cleaning. Sanniang had privately praised her to Qifei, saying that she was obviously a skilled worker.
Moreover, San Niang felt great sympathy for Yu Niang after learning about her plight. She was truly unlucky to have encountered such a scumbag.
Yunniang was taken aback by Qifei's question, then smiled bitterly, "Of course it's a letter of divorce. How could he possibly write me a letter of divorce?"
After several years of marriage, my husband, who used to seem like an honest man, has become a completely different person.
It's impossible to say that Yunniang didn't hate him.
But more than that, she was worried about her child's health.
"Was the letter of divorce filed with the government?" Third Sister suddenly asked.
Qifei and Yunniang both looked at Sanniang.
Qifei had no idea what the letter of divorce in this little world looked like.
Hearing what Third Sister said, it seemed that things might still turn around.
Yunniang looked at Sanniang blankly, "What filing? He just threw the divorce papers at me and then kicked Jun'er and me out."
"Could I have the letter of divorce shown to me?"
Yunniang nodded and went back to her room.
She placed the letter of divorce under her pillow, a constant reminder of how cruel this man was.
Third Sister looked at the letter of divorce in her hand, and sure enough, there was no official seal on it.
"His letter of divorce is not valid. A genuine letter of divorce must be registered with the government and stamped with the government's seal to be considered a genuine letter of divorce."
Otherwise, if anyone could just write down a divorce sentence and do it casually, wouldn't that create chaos?
