Chapter 170 Men are merely accessories [The End]
After the incident involving Aunt Xin.
A rift developed between Qu Bai and Qian Yuexia.
He would occasionally come over to have dinner with Qian Yuexia and inquire about her pregnancy, but he no longer slept with her.
It was probably for revenge or to vent one's anger.
He slept with other concubines every night.
Of course, Aunt Xin couldn't sleep either, because she hadn't fully recovered.
Qian Yuexia didn't care at all.
All she wanted was the position and power of the matriarch of the Qu family, and a legitimate son.
That day.
Qu Bai came to have dinner with Qian Yuexia again.
On the dining table.
The table was laden with exquisite dishes, mostly prepared to suit Qian Yuexia's current tastes, featuring light and delicate flavors.
The two sat facing each other, eating in silence.
The only sound during the meal was the soft clinking of glasses and chopsticks...
"How are you feeling today?" Qu Bai put down his silver chopsticks, breaking the silence. His voice was gentle, but it sounded like a prepared lesson, lacking genuine concern.
Qian Yuexia wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and looked up at him.
His gaze was fixed on her already protruding belly, a gaze that held scrutiny, consideration, and perhaps even a hint of anticipation for their future offspring, but lacked the tenderness a husband should have.
"It's alright, thank you for your concern, my husband." Her reply was equally impeccable.
"That's good. If you find the affairs of the manor too tedious, you can hand them over to the servants or... Aunt Hua to share some of the burden. You should focus on taking care of your pregnancy." He added.
"I understand." She lowered her eyelashes, concealing all the emotions in her eyes.
After the meal, Qu Bai sat for a while as usual, drank half a cup of hot tea, and then stood up and said, "I still have some official business to attend to. You should make your own arrangements as soon as possible."
Qian Yuexia stood up and saw him off according to etiquette.
In a corner where Qu Bai couldn't see, Qian Yuexia's lips curled into a wicked smile.
Because the food contained a drug that would prevent Qu Bai from having children.
She's not a woman who's easy to bully.
From this day forward...
Apart from the child in her womb, no woman in the Qu family can ever give birth to Qu Bai's offspring again!
Whether it's that delicate and pretentious Aunt Xin, or other women who might appear in the future.
She didn't care at all whether she was carrying a boy or not.
If so, he would naturally be the legitimate son of the Qu family, and rightfully inherit everything.
If not... she would have already planned her escape route.
Alternatively, she could adopt a boy from her own sister, Qian Yueqiu.
Or, just get it over with—divorce!
She left this suffocating cage with her dowry.
Anyway, her younger sister Qian Yueqiu is doing quite well after the divorce, and she can even support a gigolo!
With the Crown Princess's support, the Qian family's backing, and a generous dowry, she could live well even if she left the Qu family.
On the other side.
Qu Bai had no idea that Qian Yuexia hated him so deeply.
To compensate Aunt Xin, he even bestowed upon her the title of Noble Concubine.
The conflict between Qian Yuexia, the legal wife, and Concubine Xin was known to all the concubines in the mansion.
This is a blatant slap in the face.
Qian Yuexia didn't care at all.
Did he want to slap her?
Then she wouldn't have to suffer this injustice.
Qian Yuexia only divided the concubines in the mansion into two types.
One type is those who listen to her and respect her above all else.
One type is those who disobey her and want to compete with her.
Another type is those who prioritize Qu Bai above all else, believing that as long as they win Qu Bai's love, they can live a happy life in the mansion!
But the last type was also categorized by Qian Yuexia as those who did not listen to her.
Anyway, she's pregnant now, so Qu Bai can't do anything to her.
When Qian Yuexia had nothing else to do, she would discipline these disobedient concubines.
Either make them kneel in front of you for two hours every day.
Or just sell them off directly!
Qu Bai couldn't possibly protect her, after all, he couldn't even protect his concubine Xin, let alone his other concubines...
Of course, besides the fact that Qian Yuexia had a powerful family backing her, Qu Bai's indulgence also played a role.
If it weren't for love, he would have just gotten a divorce.
But Qu Bai truly fell in love with Qian Yuexia, even more than Aunt Xin...
So Qu Bai was angry, but he couldn't bear to divorce her!
That's why we're in such an awkward situation today.
Qu Bai simply let her do as she pleased, since he only cared about Consort Xin among all the women in the backyard.
Another month has passed.
Once Aunt Xin recovered, she was able to serve the emperor again.
Ever since she was allowed to serve the emperor, Qu Bai stayed in her room every day.
So she inevitably went to Qian Yuexia to show off again.
It's nothing more than saying something sarcastic and sarcastic: "Women are happiest when they have a man's love and care."
"...Even if a woman becomes a concubine, as long as she has her husband's favor, she can still be very happy."
"...So what if you're the legal wife? My husband stays in my room every single night."
At first, Qian Yuexia endured it.
After all, her relationship with Qu Bai is already quite bad, and it can't get any worse...
But unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly abdicated and became the retired emperor, and his cousin, the crown princess, suddenly became the empress!
So, on the seventh day after Qian Yueshu became empress.
While Qu Bai was away from home, Qian Yuexia killed Aunt Xin.
Anyway, she has someone backing her up!
At worst, we can just get a divorce.
The main courtyard of the Qu family mansion.
After Qu Bai learned of Aunt Xin's death, he did indeed go mad, even drawing his sword and pointing it at Qian Yuexia: "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you? You should know that my father, General Qu, now commands 200,000 troops, and our Qu family is not so easy to mess with."
Qian Yuexia wasn't afraid at all.
He dared to point a knife at her.
She dared to stab him again, a wicked smile playing on her lips: "You probably don't know yet, but I've given you a drug that will make you childless... If you don't want to be childless for the rest of your life, not only can you not kill me, but you also have to treat me well."
Qu Bai's pupils dilated in shock. He stared at her in disbelief and uttered a few words: "You poisonous woman."
But just as Qian Yuexia had predicted.
Even though Qu Bai knew that she had killed Aunt Xin and that she had given him a drug that would make him unable to have children, he still couldn't do anything to her.
Qian Yuexia was so angry that she didn't eat two meals.
He even had to come over and coax him.
Qu Bai's tone was very stiff: "I'm only doing this for my child."
Qian Yuexia smiled indifferently.
Who cares what he thinks of her?
Anyway, I've basically achieved my goal.
Her father-in-law, General Qu, controlled 200,000 troops. She was the matriarch of the Qu family, and the only heir was the child in her womb…
Her life is going to be very good from now on!
Qu Bai, on the other hand, was so angry that he was listless all day long. He even went to the frontier to be with General Qu so as not to face everything at home.
His public statement was: "I want to get to know the Qu family army as soon as possible, and I want my father to go home and enjoy his old age as soon as possible."
Only Qian Yuexia herself understood.
He's out of options with himself, so he's just choosing to ignore it!
later.
Qian Yuexia gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
Qu Bai returned on his own, as if nothing had ever happened...
However, he dared not look at other women again, and even took the initiative to dismiss a group of women in the backyard of the Qu family mansion.
Every time he had a conflict with Qian Yuexia, he would run to the border region.
Once I've calmed myself down, I'll come back to see Qian Yuexia and our two children.
