As the days passed, Chen Yan's life became a mess without Lan Wan.
Zhuang Rou was not a person who could live a normal life at all. She only cared about dressing up. It didn't take long for her to have a conflict with Mrs. Shen, and the family was in chaos.
Shen Yan couldn't even study quietly, let alone rush to take the exam.
It was not until Zhuang Rou became pregnant that he felt proud and even went to Lan Wan's house to show off that he would have three sons in the future.
Shen Lang sneered: "Do you know who those three sons belong to?"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yan was stunned for a moment.
Shen Lang said, "It was because I knew her secret of cheating that she drugged my food. I was unable to escape the tiger's mouth and died in the mountains."
"Do you know why I didn't have a child in my previous life? It's because you're not good enough. You can't make me pregnant at all!"
Lan Wan also made the right move. Even though they often quarreled and argued in their previous life, she never brought up his hidden illness.
Shen Yan's body was cold, and he stumbled away again.
He went straight to the town and visited three medical clinics, but they all said he was infertile.
When he got home, Shen Yan went crazy.
He beat Zhuang Rou so hard that she had a miscarriage, which frightened Mrs. Shen so much that she kept crying. After learning that Zhuang Rou had an affair, Mrs. Shen was even more cruel than him.
The Zhuang family came to make trouble, and Shen Yan no longer cared about his face at this time, and directly told her about her cheating.
The Zhuang family said it was shameful and took Zhuang Rou home.
Then the betrothal gifts were returned to the Shen family.
After Chen Yan abandoned Zhuang Rou, he started to pester Lan Wan. After being taught a lesson by Shen Lang several times, he gave up.
Three years later, Shen Yan finally passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the same time in his previous life, but his family had no more money for him to continue taking the imperial examination.
Finally he went to town, found a shop, and worked as an accountant.
On the other hand, Lan Wan and her husband were getting better and better, but they never thought of leaving the village.
More than ten years passed, and Lan Wan gave birth to two daughters and three sons. The couple loved each other and the children were filial.
One day, a group of foreign travelers arrived at the door of the house.
The housekeeper came to report, and she hurried over, just in time to meet the eyes of the girl who got out of the carriage.
"You're here."
"I am coming."
…
Two days after leaving Shenjia Village, Qiu Yinong and his friends arrived at the outskirts of Qingliu County.
"Girl, someone is about to jump into the river." Li Ao was sharp-eyed and saw a woman standing by the river not far away, about to jump in.
As soon as he finished shouting, Qing Yuan flew towards the woman.
"Drowning is a very miserable thing. Do you really want to go down?" Qing Yuan grabbed the woman and warned her.
The woman looked at Qing Yuan with tears in her eyes. She had no courage left and sat down on the ground, crying loudly.
"If you don't mind, tell us about it!" Qiu Yinong also got off the carriage, walked to the woman and looked at her.
This must be a bride, no older than nineteen.
The woman burst into tears, and the depression in her heart eased a little.
Qiu Yinong was not in a hurry and just accompanied her quietly. The young woman felt a little embarrassed.
After gradually calming down, he apologized: "Thank you all for your help. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
"My name is Li Zhuxin. I'm the new bride of the Su family in Qingliu County. I married here from Wanping County a year and a half ago."
"On the second day after our wedding, my husband went out to do business. Within half a month, tragic news arrived: he had been killed by bandits and fell off a cliff. His life or death was unknown."
"After a full year and a half, my husband still hadn't returned. We all thought he was in grave danger."
"Unexpectedly, a month ago, he returned safely, not only did he return, but he also brought a pregnant woman with him."
"He said he wanted to marry her as his co-wife, and when he came back he took away my housekeeping authority."
"The funny thing is, for the past year and a half, I have been the only one supporting the Su family. If it weren't for my dowry, the Su family would have fallen into ruin and couldn't even keep their ancestral home."
Qiu Qinghe said in disbelief, "Isn't this just a case of killing the donkey after it has done its work?"
"You ungrateful thing! Could it be that there is some hidden reason behind this disappearance? Is it all intentional?" Ge Qingqing also spoke angrily.
Li Zhuxin shook her head: "That's not the case. After he came back, I also asked a doctor to see him."
"He did suffer a brain injury, and he still has some hidden injuries. He did just recently remember where he lived."
Qiu Yinong sighed, then said, "Since the Su family relies on you, why do you want to jump into the river and commit suicide now?"
"Do you think they'll be sad if you die?"
"No, they won't. It will only make their enemies happy and their loved ones sad."
Ge Qingqing and Qiu Qinghe nodded at the same time: "Yes, since the Su family is now supported by your dowry, you should just divorce him."
"Look at how these scumbag men and bitches manage to survive. It's not that easy to just pick up what's ready."
"That's right, you are such a fool. When you die, all your dowry will belong to the Su family. Why?" Ge Qingqing nodded seriously and analyzed with her.
The more Li Zhuxin listened, the more she felt that this made sense.
"Let's go back. This lady will support you. I still don't believe that Da Chu is a place where laws are followed, okay?" Ge Qingqing said, patting her chest.
Li Zhuxin looked at Ge Qingqing curiously, and Ge Qingqing smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hehe, I can't do it, and I still have Yi Nong."
"Let's go. Since you want to take care of it, let's do it. We have nowhere to live anyway."
Qiu Yinong said with a smile, and Li Zhuxin quickly said: "Thank you for saving my life. Although my power as housekeeper has been taken away, I can still have a say if I bring a few people home to live."
Qiu Yinong smiled and shook her head without saying anything.
Ge Qingqing and the other two understood it in their hearts, but with Qiu Yinong around, they were not afraid of anything.
Li Zhuxin took Qiu Yinong's carriage and returned to the city.
When we arrived at the Li family’s gate, it was almost dark.
"Oh, Grandma, you're finally back! Why did you run out without telling me? Today is the old lady's birthday."
"How could you, as the eldest grandmother, not be here? Miss Huang has even invited the Princess of Pingyang County."
As soon as Li Zhuxin got off the carriage, the Su family's housekeeper got the news and rushed over, complaining about everything.
There were still many guests at the door, looking towards them.
Li Zhuxin's expression turned grim. Ge Qingqing was unhappy. "Are you the Su family's housekeeper? You also said that she is the eldest grandmother. Does she need to report to a housekeeper like you if she wants to go somewhere?"
"Besides, what do we need servants like you for? Grandma has to take care of everything. Do we need to keep you as useless people just for decoration?"
The housekeeper's face instantly turned dark when he heard Ge Qingqing's unpleasant words.
"Grandma, we have distinguished guests at home today. As the eldest grandmother of the Su family, you can't just make friends with people of questionable character."
"Butler Han, these are my distinguished guests, please be aware of your identity!" Li Zhuxin said unhappily.
The housekeeper looked at Li Zhuxin in surprise. He had never seen this lady lose her temper.
