Sun Qingmei stood in the center of the inner hall, like a prisoner being interrogated.
Sun Qingmei's face turned pale, but she still shook her head insistently: "I don't agree to share a husband with Zhao Qing, nor do I accept a concubine."
The husband she had been waiting for day and night finally returned, and Sun Qingmei thought that her hard days were over.
But who would have thought that he would be given a wake-up call.
The military advisor Zhao turned out to be a woman, and she was secretly engaged to Shangguan Xuan in Liangzhou. After returning to Yanjing, Shangguan Xuan actually wanted to marry Zhao Qing. Sun Qingmei was unwilling to accept it.

The old lady spoke slowly, "Zhao Qing is a county lady, receiving a salary from the imperial court, and is considered a role model for women. Such an outstanding girl is barely worthy of my son. You have no talent, no virtue, and no beauty, and even my wife thinks highly of you."
The uncles and aunts from the second and third rooms were all in cahoots with each other, accusing Sun Qingmei of being ignorant.
"The county lady has a high status, so she is a good match for Xuan'er."
"She's just a co-wife. You're still the principal wife."
"The daughter raised by the Sun family is really petty."
