Chapter 2294 The First Wife is Truly Unscrupulous
However, Madam Shu took a liking to this girl because she was efficient at work, managing both the household and the fields, and also had several capable brothers in her family. Marrying her would definitely make their lives much better.
Despite his reluctance, Shu Feng followed his mother's advice and married Wu.
The Wu family initially disagreed, but Shu Feng was quite cunning, and he only cared about seducing the Wu family.
Shu Feng, having been with many women and had both wives and concubines, was quite adept at handling them. Wu, who had never experienced love, was no match for him.
She wanted to marry Shu Feng, and the Wu family couldn't stop her.
Shu Feng initially treated Wu Shi well. After all, her arrival had indeed lightened the burden on his mother, sister, and himself. In addition, with the Wu family watching him closely, Shu Feng was just putting on an act and got along with Wu Shi quite harmoniously.
But now...
Shu Quan knew that Shu Feng had lost his earlier enthusiasm for the Wu family ever since his life improved in the second half of last year.
Not only him, but the other members of the main branch also became much colder towards Wu. Shu Quan had also heard some rumors that the first wife disliked Wu for not having a child after two years of marriage and had even hit her recently.
Shu Quan felt that Shu Feng might be doing something in secret that everyone else in the eldest branch of the family knew about, but he was keeping it from Wu Shi.
The eldest son's wife probably felt that she no longer needed to rely on Wu Shi in the future, so her attitude towards her changed drastically.
This actually made things easier for Shu Quan.
He went to see Madam Wu to probe her thoughts. Madam Wu was strong and capable, but when it came to scheming, she was no match for the First Madam, who was used to fighting in the inner quarters.
The First Madam kept attacking Wu, saying she was a barren hen and would cause the Shu family line to end.
To say that she doesn't understand her husband's thoughts means she's completely unqualified as a wife.
They said she lacked ambition, didn't know how to read and learn to read, and couldn't get along with her husband.
In short, the First Madam would belittle Wu Shi to the point of being worthless whenever she had the chance.
Wu became silent after being hit hard, feeling that she had let the Shu family down. She worked even harder and became thinner and thinner.
Shu Quan felt that the eldest son's wife was truly despicable, using people and then kicking them aside.
The First Madam is discouraging her, isn't she? Then he'll encourage her properly.
He told Ms. Wu that the inability to have children was not necessarily a woman's problem. Shu Feng had been with several women but had not left any children, so it was more likely that he had a problem.
He told Madam Wu that she worked hard every day, and by the time she finished her chores, it was already evening. She had no time to read or write. The First Madam's words were entirely out of guilt. She must have known that her son was infertile, so she deliberately picked a fight with Madam Wu to make her feel guilty.
Wu, a girl who grew up in a small town, was no match for Shu Quan. She was easily swayed by his words.
But Shu Quan denied leading people astray; he believed he was rescuing Wu and that everything he said was true.
It was precisely because it was true that Wu quickly developed trust in him.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Shu Quan instructed Wu to keep an eye on Shu Feng and tell him everything he had said and done in detail. He would help her analyze what the eldest son's family wanted to do and whether they wanted to climb the social ladder and divorce Wu.
Despite her hesitation, after the First Madam once again dumped a pile of work on her while criticizing her for not being ambitious, Wu finally agreed to Shu Quan's request and took the first step under his guidance.
