Shen Qing looked at the children's sleeping faces and said, "I don't know where he is now, and I can't go looking for him. He doesn't recognize me, and there's a woman with him who he says is his wife."
She finished speaking with tears streaming down her face and then hugged the child to her arms.
Chunju sat by the bed and comforted him, "I think Second Young Master Cheng is a very decisive and composed person. Wasn't he engaged to Miss Liu before? But the facts show that he didn't intend to marry Miss Liu. Perhaps his current wife is the same as Miss Liu?"
Shen Qing thought of that sexy lady, and then of Qi Zhenheng's affair with the maid.
He shook his head, saying painfully, "I don't know if he can hold back..."
Chunju sighed, not knowing how to comfort her, so she got up and went to clean the bathroom.
Shen Qing coaxed the children and then drifted off to sleep herself.
Suddenly, a rapid knocking woke her up. She glanced inside and saw that Chunju wasn't there, so she got out of bed to open the door.
The door opened, and the wet nurse and Xia Zhu sat at the doorway, wailing and crying.
Shen Qing glanced back at the twins, quietly closed the door, and sternly looked at the wet nurse and her daughter: "What are you two doing sitting here in the middle of the night?"
The wet nurse cried until she collapsed to the ground: "Madam, you must seek justice for my daughter! We are innocent young women, we cannot leave this home without any status or recognition!"
Shen Qing glanced at the tightly closed study door across the way with disgust.
Qi Zhenheng should still be inside.
This means they're planning to dump this mess on her!
She was a little angry, walked over, and opened the study door directly.
Qi Zhenheng was still sitting behind his desk, engrossed in reading.
Shen Qing walked to the desk and shouted, "The wet nurse and her daughter are crying and making a fuss at the door. If this continues, it will disturb the children's sleep."
Qi Zhenheng calmly looked at the book, turning a page without looking at her, and said coldly, "Didn't I tell you to give them some money to get rid of them?"
Shen Qing growled, "I gave it to her, but she doesn't want it! She wants to be your concubine and bear your children!"
Qi Zhenheng sneered: "A concubine? Does she deserve it?"
Shen Qing, unable to bear it any longer, said, "If you think she's unworthy, then why did you sleep with her? Take her away! Take her to the camp! I don't want to see that mother and daughter again!"
Qi Zhenheng was also furious and stood up: "Are you just hoping to push me out?"
“You slept with the maid at home, and as your wife, I agreed to let you take the maid to the garrison to take care of you and put you first. I was fulfilling my duties as a wife, how could I be pushing you away?”
Qi Zhenheng roared, "You even refuse me in our marital life, is this how you uphold the duties of a husband and wife?"
Shen Qing closed her eyes and said with suppressed emotion, "If you feel that I am not good enough to be your wife, we can get a divorce."
"you!……"
Shen Qing heard a muffled thud, and when she opened her eyes again, Qi Zhenheng was no longer in the study.
She quickly left the study and saw Qi Zhenheng putting on a cloak and coming downstairs.
Xia Zhu chased after him, crying, "My lord! My lord!"
A sound of hooves approached, and all five horses in the garden galloped out.
Qi Zhenheng led his men back to their base.
Xia Zhu chased after him to the garden, tripped and fell, and sat on the ground wailing.
The wet nurse ran out, helped the person up, and brought them into the house.
Shen Qing stood by the window, withdrew her gaze, returned to the room, and locked the door.
After that day, Qi Zhenheng didn't go home for quite some time.
Shen Qing was preparing to develop a sweater production line, so he didn't pay any attention to him.
The wet nurse and her daughter continued to live in the house and did not do anything excessive, so Shen Qing decided not to drive them away for the time being. He planned to wait until Qi Zhenheng returned and have a proper talk with him to ask him to take them to the residence.
This is the best way for everyone.
Unexpectedly, Xia Zhu is pregnant.
Now it's even harder to chase them out.
Shen Qing had no choice but to write a letter to Qi Zhenheng, telling him that Xia Zhu was pregnant with his child and hoping that he would handle Xia Zhu properly to avoid a tragedy.
Qi Zhenheng returned from his post very soon, as expected.
When he saw Shen Qing, he seemed to feel a little guilty. Shen Qing pretended to have forgotten about the argument and the divorce that night, and calmly discussed with him the arrangements for Xia Zhu and her son.
Qi Zhenheng finally agreed to take a concubine and, respecting Shen Qing's wishes, brought Xia Zhu and her wet nurse to the residence a month later.
He has important business to attend to in Beijing and needs to stay for a month.
Shen Qing promised him that she would take good care of Xia Zhu, who was pregnant, for the next month.
After discussing the matter, Shen Qing was about to leave the study when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to say, "Now that Xia Zhu is carrying your child and will soon become your concubine, it's not appropriate for her to stay in the small room downstairs. I've had a room prepared on the third floor for her, so you don't need to stay in the study tonight."
The implication was that Qi Zhenheng should sleep with Xia Zhu from now on and not come to their original room anymore.
After saying this, she turned to leave the study.
Behind him, Qi Zhenheng called out softly, "Qing'er..."
Shen Qing turned around and looked at him with a gentle expression: "Hmm? Please speak, sir."
Qi Zhenheng's eyes were bloodshot. He hesitated for a long time before swallowing his words and waving his hand, "It's nothing, go and rest."
Shen Qing bowed slightly and left the study.
She went to tell Xia Zhu that she would move to the third floor tonight, and that Qi Zhenheng was willing to take her as a concubine, and that she could go to the residence to accompany Qi Zhenheng a month later.
Xia Zhu shed tears of happiness.
Shen Qing shook her head and went back to her room on the second floor.
After bathing the children with Chunju and putting them to sleep, Chunju took the children's clothes downstairs to wash, while Shen Qing went to take a bath.
After washing up, I saw Qi Zhenheng in the room, leaning over the crib watching the children.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, she walked to the wardrobe, took out a bathrobe, put it on, and silently sat down on the sofa.
He was full of wariness.
After checking on the child, Qi Zhenheng stood up. Seeing how wary she was of him, he didn't say anything, grabbed his pajamas, and silently went to the bathroom.
It seems he intends to sleep here tonight.
Shen Qing was in a bit of a predicament.
Not to mention that Qi Zhenheng had never been with Ya Tou before, she found it hard to accept having marital relations with him.
Now that he had touched Xia Zhu, she really didn't want to get close to him, let alone sleep in the same bed with him.
If all else fails, she'll have to sleep on the sofa.
However, given Qi Zhenheng's temper, if he sees that she doesn't want to go to bed, he'll probably slam the door and leave in anger.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing pressed his temples.
My head hurts, it really hurts.
She originally thought that marrying Qi Zhenheng would bring her a peaceful and happy life, but instead, things turned out to be chaotic and messy.
The bathroom door opened, and Qi Zhenheng came out.
Seeing that she was still sitting on the sofa, his expression changed, but he tried his best to suppress it and sat down next to her.
“Qing’er…” He paused, then spoke with difficulty, “Although that girl is pregnant, you will always be Madam Qi, and no one can change your status.”
