Wherever he went, he was always accompanied by servants.
Even her family has achieved a life that everyone envies.
Tong Shaohua's dowry was exceptionally generous, including a 20-square-meter shop, a courtyard house, and 10,000 silver dollars.
When her father saw so much money, he was terrified and kept waving his hands, saying he couldn't accept it.
Later, it was the learned Tong Shaohua who reasoned with her and appealed to her emotions, persuading her father to accept it.
Tong Shaohua is actually very handsome, and he is also very gentle and polite.
She was smitten the moment she saw him.
However, his parents' personalities were vastly different from his.
Every time he went out to discuss business, he would secretly torment her, making her do all sorts of housework.
In the cold winter, she had to wash clothes by hand.
They even humiliated her in front of all the servants, saying that the Tong family paid so much money to buy her, not for her to enjoy herself.
But in front of Tong Shaohua, Tong's parents treated her with kindness, leaving her with nowhere to seek justice.
She lived like this for more than two years without Tong Shaohua knowing anything about it.
Each time he goes out to purchase or deliver goods, it takes him ten to fifteen days. He returns and stays for less than ten days before setting off again.
The entire Tong family relied on him to run a business and make a living.
Seeing how busy he was, she dared not tell him about these trivial matters of the inner quarters.
In addition, he did give a lot of money to her family, allowing them to live a life without worries.
She had originally planned to live out her life like this.
However, just two weeks ago, when Tong Shaohua boarded a ship to the other side of the ocean, her parents divorced her and kicked her out of the Tong family home because she had been married for three years without bearing a child.
She didn't want to go back and worry her elderly parents, so she went back that day to see them and told them that her husband, Tong Shaohua, wanted her to go to Beiping to find him.
And so, she arrived in the capital of Jiangdong.
Regarding why she hasn't had children after three years of marriage.
Tong Shaohua said that he is now away for ten days to half a month at a time, and he is worried about letting her suffer the pain of childbirth alone.
She added that she is still young and it is not advisable for her to have a child too early, as it would be bad for her health, so she is considering having a child in five years.
He's usually the one who takes contraceptive measures.
But Tong's parents pinned all the blame on her.
Tong Shaohua was busy with the family business and didn't have much energy to concern himself with matters of the inner quarters.
The key issue is that the Tong family parents are so good at playing both sides that it's impossible for anyone to see through them.
After all, they didn't hit her. They just made her cook all three meals for the family, wash clothes with ice water in the dead of winter, and copy Buddhist scriptures in the middle of the night to pray for her husband, Tong Shaohua.
Having never held a pen before, she has actually learned quite a few characters in the past two years.
The handwriting gradually went from being a blurry mess to being clearly legible.
After hearing about Yu Yuanyuan's ordeal, Hua Qingyan burst into tears. She never expected that Yuanyuan would be treated so cruelly without uttering a sound.
Just as she was about to say something, gunshots rang out outside the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of synchronized footsteps.
During my ten years with the Ye family, I recognized that sound; it was the footsteps of soldiers.
Her coldness arrived.
