"How do you kneel?"
Shen Qinghuai naturally saw Xu Lingyi. She was pale, with long hair draped over her snow-white neck. She looked a little thin, with a strand of black hair fluttering in the wind.
He admitted that she was extremely beautiful. If Xu Lingyi married someone else, with her stunning looks and charming figure, she would surely live a good life.
Unfortunately, she married him. He was not interested in her vulgar body and just felt irritated by looking at it.
"I returned home late, so my mother made me kneel here."
Xu Lingyi explained weakly, "I didn't stay out here for no reason. I just came back late to find a doctor for my dog."
Shen Qinghuai pressed his eyebrows.
Today's morning court session was already a bit strange, and now he couldn't rest in peace even when he returned home. His eyes were sharp and piercing, like a sword piercing Xu Lingyi.
"Then kneel down until mother calms down. Once you enter the Shen Mansion, you won't have to serve me. Take good care of mother in the future. If you can't even please mother...there's no need for the Shen Mansion to keep you."
His expression was indifferent and his voice was cold. He wanted to force Xu Lingyi to divorce him, so it was impossible for him to be nice to her.
"Besides..." Shen Qinghuai's gaze fell on the emperor. His expression was indifferent and cold, and his voice was cold: "It's just a beast. If you want to keep this beast in your mansion, don't let it run around. If it bites someone, not only will I not keep this beast, but you as well."
The emperor couldn't bear it any longer and shouted at Shen Qinghuai,
The beast says who is the beast.
Shen Qinghuai met the beast's lively eyes, and he seemed to see disdain in those dog eyes.
Seeing this, the servant beside Shen Qinghuai kicked Lai Fu and kicked it a few steps away.
The emperor was kicked in the chest and his body instinctively whimpered twice.
Xu Lingyi was extremely distressed, her eyes red, her voice choked with sobs, and she knelt in front of Shen Qinghuai and pleaded, "Husband, I promise Lai Fu is very well behaved. He never bites anyone, and he never barks casually. Today is an exception. I will take good care of Lai Fu in the future."
Shen Qinghuai met her clear eyes, but he didn't say anything else. He just strode away.
Xu Lingyi waited until he left before she dared to pick up Fu.
"Fubao, are you in pain? It's my fault for not being able to protect you."
Xu Lingyi's tears fell on the emperor's face, but they seemed to hit his heart.
He couldn't describe the feeling, just a mixture of various emotions.
He used to boast that he was the most wise monarch, unprecedented and unrivaled.
He is a little arrogant.
Because he was not like other kings who drank and enjoyed themselves or indulged in women and neglected state affairs.
Instead, he appointed talented people, worked hard to govern the country, and cracked down on corrupt officials. At the same time, he was also strict with himself, always holding himself to the standards of a sage and wise ruler.
He has achieved quite a few achievements over the years and captured many cities.
He believed that this was because he knew how to judge and use people.
Now he deeply doubted his ability to judge people. He knew that people had different attitudes towards those in a higher position and those in a lower position.
But Shen Qinghuai really disappointed him.
Xu Lingyi was the wife he married personally. Even if he didn't like her, now that she was his wife, he should treat her well.
Even if you don't like it, you can just ignore it instead of letting your mother bully you unreasonably.
What is the difference between this and corrupt officials bullying the weak people?
Shen Qinghuai has no mercy on his own wife, so how much sincerity can he have towards the people?
The emperor could no longer convince himself, so he arranged a good marriage for Xu Lingyi.
He began to feel guilty.
But he didn't know that guilt was the beginning of falling in love.
Of course Xu Lingyi would not kneel here stupidly. After kneeling for a while, she fell down slowly.
"Miss."
Yingchun was nervous, and the emperor also hurried to see.
Xu Lingyi's face was extremely pale at this moment, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
Her appearance at this moment was like the sickly Xi Shi, and even the emperor was touched.
But Shen Qinghuai never showed up from beginning to end.
The emperor ran a few steps and just walked out of the yard. His hearing and sense of smell were now very sensitive, and he also heard the complaints of Shen Qinghuai's mother.
"She fell down after kneeling for such a short time? She must be pretending. Madam Li, go slap her a few times and prick her fingers to see if it's real or just a pretense?" Mother Shen didn't believe it.
Shen Qinghuai shook his head: "Mother, she must not be pretending. She looked extremely pale when my son came in just now."
The emperor thought that Shen Qinghuai was telling the truth and speaking fairly, but the next second he heard him say with a cold face:
"If Mother feels unsatisfied, wait until her health improves in a few days and then let her continue kneeling for the rest of the day. It won't affect Mother's mood."
emperor:"……"
He shouldn't have any hope in Shen Qinghuai.
————
Xu Lingyi was ill for two days after she returned home that day. Yingchun applied medicine on her and couldn't help crying when she saw the bruises on Xu Lingyi's knees.
"This Shen family mother and son are really worthless, no better than the Xu family. Miss, you have just married into the family, and they treat you like this. What should we do in the future?"
Yingchun's words were full of concern for Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi's bright eyes moved slightly, and she saw a shadow in the corner of the wall out of the corner of her eye.
She gently wiped away the fake tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled and tried to comfort Yingchun, "Don't be afraid, silly Yingchun, your husband is like this now because he misses his deceased wife. He may have only planned to marry one person in this life, but I happened to take his wife's place. It's understandable that he is dissatisfied with me. Your husband is a deeply affectionate person. As long as I treat him well, he will naturally see my true feelings over time."
