Her husband failed the imperial examination and left the mansion, so she was just a small-time juren's wife.
When she heard that Chen Jun was named Princess, she almost vomited blood.
After marrying Zhang Mian, she realized that she might have been impulsive at the time.
Zhang Mian's family didn't have much money, and he had an old sick mother whose medicine cost a lot of money.
Her father did not allow her to bring the servants of the Shen family with her when she got married. All the servants she has now were bought by herself and she pays them her own monthly wages.
She never knew that a family required so many things to worry about.
Zhang Mian is often not at home, saying that he is having a small gathering with classmates.
Getting together with classmates also costs money, and her wallet is dwindling at a visible rate.
Zhang Mian looked at her like this and began to persuade her, "My dear, we are sisters, there is no such thing as overnight hatred. Why don't you..."
"You want me to give in to that little bitch Chen Jun?" Chen Yao looked at him in disbelief, "Just because she was given the title of a princess?"
Zhang Mian: "I'm not asking you to surrender to her, but I want you to find time to return home and smooth things over with your father-in-law."
Chen Yao began to cry, "Zhang Mian, do you still have a heart? Why did I fall out with my family in the first place? Ah? Wasn't it just to marry you?"
"Now that you see there's profit to be made, you want me to go and submit to my family?"
"Okay, okay, let's not go. I'm mainly worried that you'll be caught in the middle and get into trouble."
"Do you think I'm in trouble now? Back then..."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. It's my fault. Since you don't like it, I won't mention it again."
But he didn't think so in his heart.
Cowpox can cure smallpox. If this man of ours has a good relationship with Princess Changning, do we still have to worry that he will not be able to get along in official circles in the future?
Moreover, she is not an ordinary princess.
The emperor granted her a fiefdom, a fiefdom, and a princess's mansion. This is the only one of its kind in history.
If...if he married a princess...
I can’t even imagine how glorious he would be if he had married a princess.
This time he held back and didn't try to persuade Chen Yao again.
However, two months later, Shen Cong and Shen Zhang took the imperial examinations. From the county examination to the academy examination, Shen Cong always ranked first, while Shen Zhang was either second or third.
Only then did he believe that his two eleven-year-old brothers-in-law were truly geniuses.
He couldn't help but want to persuade Chen Yao to go back.
Wasn't it just to get some of the glory from the Marquis' Mansion that you married Chen Yao?
"Impossible, I won't bow to them!" Chen Yao refused without even thinking.
"How can this be called bowing your head? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about our children."
Chen Yao looked at him, "What do you mean? Can't you raise this child by yourself?"
"Look at me. I failed the Spring Examination. I don't know how I'll perform next year. Even if I pass, without the Marquisate, how far can I go?"
Chen Yao's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Back then, when you tricked me into giving you my body, when I broke up with my family, you didn't say that."
"You said...you said that even if we were innocent, even if you relied on yourself, you could, could still let me live a good life."
Zhang Mian forcefully hugged her into his arms, "Yaoyao, don't be willful. Go back and take a look. There's no such thing as overnight hatred between father and daughter."
Chen Yao was so angry that she wanted to struggle, but was eventually held down by Zhang Mian.
Later, Zhang Mian coaxed her for a long time before she reluctantly agreed to go back during Shen Chen’s wedding banquet.
The servants of the Shen family did not stop them, and the two of them entered smoothly.
It’s just that there were no seats arranged for them at the Shen family’s wedding banquet.
The seats for women were not so bad, as everyone knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and some women would automatically give up their seats for her.
Of course, the way everyone looked at her belly wasn't normal either.
This size doesn't match the date of her wedding at all.
Everyone suddenly realized that she was pregnant before marriage.
No wonder the Marquis wanted to marry her off hastily.
Those ladies looked at Chen Jun, who was following Tu Qingyu with grace and elegance, and had a first-class charm and temperament.
They were all thankful in their hearts that Princess Changning and this young lady were not from the same mother.
Otherwise, even if Shen Jun was a princess, no one would dare to marry her.
The situation was very awkward for the male guests, as Shen Liao and Shen Chen ignored Zhang Mian.
The servants had no idea how to arrange a seat for Zhang Mian.
Zhang Mian just stood in the crowd like that. Although he looked calm, his fists hidden in his sleeves had already been clenched.
In the end, Chen Chen remembered their former friendship and asked someone to show him to a seat.
When all the guests arrived, Tu Qingyu took Chen Jun to meet the ladies.
Chen Yao held her belly and came over obediently to pay her respects to Tu Qingyu.
"Meet the Madam, Madam Jin An."
He then exchanged a greeting with Shen Jun, "Sister."
Chen Jun: "Big sister."
She thought that when the ladies saw her treating her sister with equal respect, they would praise her for being sensible.
But one of the ladies immediately spoke up, "So this is the eldest daughter of the Shen family. I haven't seen her for many years. She's about to give birth."
"But the eldest lady has grown up without making any progress. You and the princess cannot have equal courtesy."
Another lady took over the conversation, "Yes, the princess greeted you with equal respect because she respects you as her elder sister. However, the law of this world has always been to pay respect to the emperor first and then to the relatives. In other words, you must first pay your respects to the princess before she can greet you with equal respect."
They were just looking for trouble on purpose because they couldn't stand a scheming woman who got pregnant before marriage.
Chen Yao looked at the two ladies, one of whom was named Luo and was a good friend of her stepmother.
Luo Yunxia met her gaze, not afraid at all, "What's wrong? Miss, do you not want to salute the princess?"
Having seen enough of her unpredictable expression, Shen Jun spoke first: "Aunt Luo, it's okay. There's no need to be so polite at home."
Then he looked at Chen Yao and said, "Don't take it to heart, big sister. Aunt Luo and the others were just joking."
As he was about to pull her hand, Chen Yao shook it off. She sternly said, "Don't touch me!"
This was completely her subconscious reaction because she saw the badge hanging around Shen Jun's waist.
She had only seen that waist badge on princesses and princesses in the palace before.
That is a symbol of status.
The jealousy in his heart erupted at that moment, let alone knocking Shen Jun's hand away.
If she had a knife in her hand, she would have wanted to rush forward with the knife.
Her reaction was so dramatic that the ladies in the hall immediately looked over at her.
Everyone looked at her with contempt in their eyes.
Chen Yao had almost nowhere to hide under such a gaze.
Tu Qingye was also in the crowd. She looked at the jealousy and resentment in Chen Yao's eyes and suddenly felt that they were the same kind of people.
Perhaps, she could find a way to take revenge on Tu Qingyu from the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
