After the meal, Tu Qingyu basically didn't eat the dishes Xu Ying picked up, but Xu Ying didn't dare to just stand there and not eat anything.
When everyone was almost done eating, Tu Qingyu spoke up, "Okay, stop standing there and eat quickly."
The food was already cold before he called her to eat.
Xu Ying was almost worn out by the anger, and the hatred in her heart grew even stronger.
But she knew that days like this would continue for a long time.
It’s okay, just be patient, just be patient and wait for her to find an opportunity.
She sat down with a smile, and just after eating a few chopsticks, Tu Qingyu put down his chopsticks.
She had to stand up again, take the washbasin from the maid, and fill it with mouthwash for Tu Qingyu.
After the meal, she was exhausted.
After dinner, we drank tea in the living room.
Tu Qingyu didn't ask them to sit down, and the two of them stood aside and were scolded.
Xu Ying did not consummate her marriage with Pei Kangsheng on their wedding night, but they did last night.
Now she felt uncomfortable all over and her legs were shaking violently.
God knows how much she wanted to pour the basin of water on Tu Qingyu's head when she was handing him mouthwash.
But she also knew that if she really did that, her life would be over.
Given how much her father-in-law cares about Tu Qingyu now, she might end up in bloodshed on the spot.
They were not released until it was completely dark.
When they returned to their yard, both of them were exhausted.
Xu Ying was helped by the maid and fell on the couch. She couldn't help but ask, "How long are we going to have to live like this?"
She asked the girl to carefully roll up her trouser legs. Her fair knees were covered with red spots, and further down, there was a brown raised scar.
That was left over from her last fall from a horse.
Her eyes were red and tears were streaming down her face. "Look, in just two days, I'm covered in wounds."
"I have never suffered such grievances since I was a child, Pei Kangsheng..." She raised her head and looked at Pei Kangsheng with tearful eyes, "Can you, can you think of a way?"
"What can I do?" Pei Kangsheng scratched his hair irritably. "You haven't seen how my father treats me, have you?"
He himself is in a difficult situation and cannot save himself.
"So I have to be tortured by her like this every day? Ah? Pei Kangsheng, do you have any heart? What did you tell me at the beginning?"
"Back then? You still dare to say 'back then'?"
Speaking of this, Pei Kangsheng's expression immediately changed. "You know exactly what happened back then. Do you think you are a good person?"
"You!" Xu Ying felt guilty, but more angry and embarrassed.
At this moment, the courtyard's former first-class maid came in and reported, "Master, Madam, Aunt Qiu said she wanted to come and offer tea to Madam."
"Aunt Qiu?" Xu Ying's eyes widened. "What Aunt Qiu?"
Pei Kangsheng had told himself many times before marriage that Xu Ying had a physical defect and it would be no problem for him to take a concubine.
So he didn't feel guilty when Xu Ying asked him, and in fact, her look of disbelief made him even more upset.
"She served me before you, and now that she's pregnant, I've told my parents and have made her my concubine."
He specifically mentioned his father and mother to make it clear to Xu Ying that this concubine had been made public and Pei Jian had agreed to it.
Tell her to stop messing around.
"Okay, it's really good!" She took a deep breath and wanted to stand up, but her legs hurt so much that she fell down again, "Ah——!"
"Oh, grandma, please be careful."
"Yes, grandma, please sit down first and let me massage you."
As she said that, the girl was about to apply medicine to her, but she pushed her away and said, "Get out!"
Her shout of "get out" was quite hysterical, and Pei Kangsheng was frightened by her.
"What are you doing?!" He frowned, "Why are you taking your anger out on others?"
Xu Ying glared back at her, "I don't take it out on others, so why would I take it out on you?"
"You dare?!"
"Pei Kangsheng, are you really shameless?"
Pei Kangsheng was so angry at her attitude. This was obviously not the kind of wife he wanted.
Anger was boiling in his heart, but his eyes showed a look of disgust when he saw her legs.
In a rage, he sneered, "I'm shameless? I wonder who went to so much trouble to marry me in."
"I'm telling you, Xu Ying, I was able to marry you because your Xu family was so lucky. I was bewitched by a ghost at that time. If not, you would have been accompanied by the ancient Buddha and the green lamp."
"You, you..." Xu Yinglian was so angry that her face turned red. Finally, she managed to utter, "Don't you think it's a crime to say that?"
"Conscience? Between us, it's the same."
After he finished speaking, he warned, "I advise you to drink Qiuhong's tea obediently. Drink it. From now on, this East Courtyard will be your safe haven. Here, you will still be the eldest grandmother. Even if I can't fight back for the time being, I can bear the grievances of the main courtyard with you. If you don't obey, then the grievances you suffer will not only be suffered by the main courtyard."
This was a threat to her. If she didn't drink the concubine's tea, she would not only be wronged in the main courtyard in the future, but she would also have a hard time when she returned to the east courtyard.
In the end, she could only agree with tears in her eyes.
Qiuhong's belly was only two or three months old and not very noticeable, but she still came in carefully, holding her waist.
Pei Kangsheng saw her come in and went out to help her.
This alone made Xu Ying's eyes red.
Ever since her leg became lame, Pei Kangsheng has never been so gentle to her again.
Now, he is so gentle to such a lowly person?
Qiuhong looked up after coming in, and shrank back towards Pei Kangsheng as if frightened by her eyes.
He also whispered, "Uncle..."
Pei Kangsheng quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Ying'er is not someone who is difficult to get along with."
After saying that, he turned his head, his eyes filled with warning, "Right, Ying'er?"
"Yes." Xu Ying gritted her teeth and replied, "This is Aunt Qiu, right?"
Qiuhong squatted slightly, "Your servant Qiuhong greets the Grandmother."
At this time, the nanny brought the tea over. She picked up the tea and said, "Grandma, please have some tea."
Under Pei Kangsheng's gaze, Xu Ying drank the concubine tea in humiliation.
Turning around, he rewarded Qiuhong with some jewelry materials.
Those things came from her dowry.
Dabao: "Wow~ Can't you hold it back so soon?"
Tu Qingyu: "Yeah, I haven't even returned home yet, at least we can wait a while before we do it."
Dabao: "I guess the things she discussed with her mother will be delivered to you after she returns home."
Tu Qingyu: "I guess so."
