In the early spring of the following year, amid Lin's scolding, the Fu family had a new distinguished guest.
The person was Qin Shishi, whom Lin often talked about. She was Fu Yibo's cousin. She was married once in her early years, but she was unlucky. Not long after she got married, her husband died, and she became a widow at a young age.
Mrs. Lin liked her niece very much, and bought a lot of delicious food to entertain her as soon as she arrived.
When the original owner saw Qin Shishi standing in front of her in fresh clothes, she looked back at herself. She should have been younger and more beautiful than Qin Shishi, but now she looked like a woman in her thirties or forties.
"This is my cousin's wife, right?" Qin Shishi looked at her in surprise, but there was a hint of disgust and pride in her surprised eyes.
"What's the use of calling her cousin-in-law or not? Just call her by her name." Lin said enthusiastically while holding Qin Shishi's hand.
Qin Shishi looked her up and down and said softly, "I've heard that my sister-in-law is a beauty, but seeing her today really shocked me. I almost thought she was just a servant hired by my aunt."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing. She covered her mouth and looked at Bei Yutang apologetically, "Sister-in-law, I speak my mind, please don't take it to heart. I really didn't mean anything else."
Although the original owner was well protected by his parents, he was not a fool and was unaware that he was being ridiculed and mocked.
The original owner looked at her expressionlessly.
Qin Shishi looked at Lin with a wronged look on her face, "Aunt, did I make my sister-in-law unhappy?"
Lin patted her hands, signaling her not to worry. She turned her head and coldly ordered, "What are you still standing here for? Go cook. You're such a clueless person."
Qin Shishi watched Bei Yutang enter the kitchen silently, a sneer appearing on her lips.
She had been worried that this rich young lady would be the head of the Fu family, and that she would suffer if she came here, so she did not agree to Lin's request that she bear a child for her cousin.
Now, seeing that rich young lady being tortured like this by her aunt, he felt relieved. He had already decided in his heart that the next time his aunt made that request, he would agree to it.
When her cousin passes the imperial examination in the future, she will become an official's wife. As for Bei Yutang, she doesn't take her seriously at all.
From that day on, Bei Yutang often heard the heavy breathing sounds of a man and a woman in the next room, and saw Qin Shishi coming out of Fu Yibo's room so carefree several times.
Bei Yutang accepted her fate and would never give Yi Bo any hope again.
She felt that the pain she was enduring now was all her fault, that she was blind and stupid. In fact, Bei Yutang had asked her to divorce him several times, but Fu Yibo disagreed.
Before, she still imagined that he still cared about her, but as time went by, she no longer had that fantasy. However, she didn't understand why he didn't let her go if he didn't love her and hated her.
He even threatened the original owner, Bei Yutang, that if she insisted on leaving, he would tell everyone that he divorced her because of her unclean body. If this news got out, the reputation of the Bei family would be affected.
The original owner, Bei Yutang, did not want to implicate her family, so she could only endure the Fu family silently with tears in her eyes and work like a slave for them.
