This is what Xu Lingyi did in her previous life. She treated Shen Qinghuai wholeheartedly, but in return he divorced her.
He is a stone that cannot be warmed.
But in this Shen Mansion, Xu Lingyi still planned to be the most pitiful victim in front of the emperor.
She will still be good to Shen Qinghuai, to his vicious mother, and to his naughty twins.
She wanted to let the emperor see how heartless the Shen family was, how terrible the Shen family was, and how Shen Qinghuai had viciously pushed her into the prince's arms.
"What if the son-in-law can't see the young lady? I think the son-in-law is very hard-hearted." Yingchun said.
Yingxia also nodded quickly: "He is not only cruel, but also blind. Our young lady is so beautiful that outsiders may not fall in love with her at first sight, but they shouldn't treat her so coldly. But the son-in-law is so good..."
Xu Lingyi's face hardened as she sternly warned the two maids, "Yingchun and Yingxia, I know you're worried about me, but you're not allowed to say that again. Besides, this just goes to show that my husband doesn't value women, unlike the superficial people. He's a great general respected by everyone. That day, my third sister tricked me into falling into the water. If the general hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I would have died. Even if I had been rescued, I would have been abused by the people my stepmother hired."
Xu Lingyi's lips trembled slightly as she spoke, as if recalling the thrilling experience of that day. Her eyes reddened slightly as she continued, "And my husband not only saved me, but also married me. I am not only grateful to him, but also... Although all this was a coincidence, what my stepmother said was not wrong. I am of humble status, and marrying into the Shen family was a stroke of luck."
"Now that I have entered the General's Mansion, I will naturally fulfill my duties in the future. Tomorrow we will go to pay our respects to Mother and serve her."
"But young lady, your leg is so seriously injured. What if...what if the old lady punishes you again? You're lucky your leg didn't get hurt this time. If it happens again, I'm afraid it will really be broken..."
Yingchun didn't say anything else. Her voice was choked with sobs, and she felt extremely sorry for Xu Lingyi.
"The old lady won't do that. I know she's not unreasonable. Even if she punishes me, so what? She's the elder, and all daughters-in-law in the world have gone through the same thing. The old lady is only treating me like this because she doesn't know my character and is afraid that I will bully my husband's two children. In the future, mother will know that I will never do such things."
Shen Qinghuai was dragged here by his mother today because his mother wanted to settle accounts with Xu.
"She hasn't come to pay her respects to me these past few days. Her maid said she can't even move her legs. I want to go and see for myself."
Shen Qinghuai and his mother heard these words outside.
It was also the first time he knew the truth about Xu Lingyi falling into the water.
