Su Mingyue genuinely believed she was useful and sought a powerful backer, but to no avail. She was ridiculed and humiliated in every way, which made her furious. Coincidentally, someone made a suggestion to her, which was essentially brainwashing her. In a moment of madness, she agreed.
Because she didn't want to live in fear, she desperately needed a protective shield, and all her previous high expectations vanished at that moment.
She had never considered becoming someone's concubine before, but she agreed very quickly.
Because she really couldn't find anyone to help her, and she didn't even have a trace of Geng Yuepeng, she understood that Geng Yuepeng was probably in Su Nanxi's hands and wouldn't be easily found. She didn't want to go back to the Marquis's mansion, but she didn't want to live a miserable life now, so she finally compromised.
The son of that Lord Chen took her in and treated her very well. This gave Su Mingyue the illusion that she had made the right bet this time, and she gradually relaxed her tense heart, thinking that it was not impossible to live like this!
Su Mingyue even thought that once she had won over her husband's heart and settled down, she would find a way to rescue her mother, so that her mother wouldn't suffer for her!
Thinking too much isn't a good thing!
The Chen family treats her well because she is the daughter of a marquis. Although she is not the legitimate daughter, she is still a member of the marquis's family, which means she has a connection with the marquis's family. Wouldn't that allow her to get on the good side of the marquis's family?
Therefore, the Chen family had made a plan: once Su Mingyue became pregnant, they would have more confidence to bring it up at the Marquis's residence, since the Chen family wouldn't suffer any losses anyway!
Once the deed is done, whatever the Marquis's household does will be wrong!
The Chen family has seized the initiative, and they're also much happier on the surface!
Unfortunately, Su Mingyue couldn't see through this, didn't understand how others were planning, and was still foolishly expecting something!
Her wonderful life soon turned into an illusion.
When her husband returned home, he went straight to her room. Anyone who didn't know better would think he doted on her, as if half a day apart felt like three autumns. She was overjoyed to see him.
In the backyard, only those who are favored can live better!
So Su Mingyue also started vying for the emperor's favor, all for the sake of living a better life!
But this time, her man didn't come because he missed her; he came to confront her.
"I am truly Su Mingyue, the daughter of the Marquis! The real deal! Why doesn't the Lord believe me?"
"You still dare to argue! I'll give you a chance to prove yourself before I believe you! If you dare to deceive me, you know what will happen!"
"I am the daughter of the Marquis's family, how can you prove that? Didn't my sister-in-law recognize me? She remembers that I am the daughter of the Marquis's family! I have appeared on many occasions, as you know, eldest son! Why are you suddenly suspicious of me?"
"So, you can't prove for yourself whether you are the daughter of a marquis?"
"I am who I am, how can I prove that? Besides, does it even matter? Didn't you say that you would love me no matter what my identity is? Why are you so concerned about this now?"
"If you weren't the daughter of a marquis, do you think you could live in my backyard? Do you think any woman can just walk into my backyard? Look at yourself! You can't even prove it yourself, so you're not!"
"That's me! If you don't believe me, we can go to the Marquis's residence. I'm upright and have nothing to hide. I can prove it to you!"
Su Mingyue felt utterly humiliated that her man was only being nice to her because of her status!
It wasn't sincere; it was mixed with various interests and calculations!
I felt so incredibly sad!
She instantly realized that all the previous tenderness and affection were fake!
She also thought that as long as she offered to go to the Marquis's residence to prove herself, she could at least maintain some dignity. After all, she had a certain status, and these people would still give her some face.
Unfortunately, she was wrong again.
Her man smiled coldly and ruthlessly, "You want to go to the Marquis's mansion? Stop pretending! The Marquis's mansion does have a daughter named Su Mingyue, but she drowned not long ago! She took her birth mother with her!"
Upon hearing this, Su Mingyue's face turned deathly pale. In disbelief, she struggled to utter a single sentence, "Impossible!"
She was perfectly fine here, how could she have drowned?
Whoever made up such nonsense, aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning?
If she's already dead, then what is she now?
Wouldn't she then become someone without identity or known origin?
Without any background or powerful connections, in this cannibalistic backyard, I'm doomed!
She's only been out for a short time, how did she become like this?
That's so cruel!
They cut off all her escape routes, and even her way out of survival!
She can't think about her own mother now; she's only focused on how to get out of this situation.
By the time I realized it was Su Nanxi who did it, it was too late!
They escaped, but they still couldn't escape Su Nanxi's grasp. The feeling was indescribable; they were so angry they almost vomited blood on the spot!
If she loses her usefulness, then her fate will be truly tragic!
The man in front of her had revealed his true colors; he had no feelings for her whatsoever and wouldn't be polite to her at all!
He must think that I deceived him and didn't punish him properly, but that's impossible!
"Ha! You really are an imposter! And you're so good at pretending!"
The man's ugly face was revealed; his tone was extremely offensive, and his eyes were filled with undisguised humiliation.
Su Mingyue could only repeat in a low voice, "I'm not an imposter, I am the daughter of the Marquis's family!"
But the man didn't believe her at all, looking down at Su Mingyue with disdain, "Even if it's true, so what? The Marquis's mansion no longer has anyone like you! Do you think you can go back? The Marquis's mansion doesn't acknowledge you anymore, understand? If you really are the real heiress, and could force the Marquis's mansion to do this, you must have done something utterly heinous! A viper like you, I cannot tolerate you!"
Su Mingyue felt a deep sense of powerlessness. She couldn't find a way to save herself and suddenly became dejected. Since she couldn't change reality anyway, she stopped pretending.
"Heh! You say I deceived you, but weren't you deceiving me too? All that pretense of deep affection you put on before was just to cover up your own greedy heart, wanting to use me! Let's not talk about deception anymore, don't you feel ashamed! Now that I'm no longer of any use to you, you've turned your back on me immediately!"
Her man wasn't afraid of what Su Mingyue said. He was a profit-driven person by nature, so it was natural for him to learn some skills. There was nothing shameful about that!
Who hasn't gone through this?
Since everything is behind closed doors, no one knows his true identity. Once outside, he puts on another mask and continues to live a life of crime!
"What use are you to me now that you're no longer of any value? I don't do business at a loss!"
"You! That's too much! How dare you say that I'm doing business with you!"
"I think so!"
