Thinking about this possibility, Xue Mengyu panicked a little.
Will everything be alright?
Qi Mingyu is a scholar. If he is affected by yesterday's medicine, will he still be able to pass the imperial examination?
If she doesn't pass the exam, what's the point of her family spending so much money?
Now that she's married, it's impossible for her to divorce and go home, right?
If she wasn't pregnant, she could say that she hadn't consummated the marriage yesterday, and then leave to find a better husband.
But since she already has children, it's not easy for her to leave.
While pondering these thoughts, Xue Mengyu reached out and nudged the person on the bed again.
"Husband, wake up, it's almost noon."
Qi Mingyu had actually woken up a long time ago, but his bones felt like they had been disassembled and reassembled.
It was so sore and painful that he couldn't muster any strength to even think about it.
He overheard his mother arguing with Xue Mengyu and found it incredibly annoying.
He knew his mother meant well, but he thought she was brainless.
Now their family still has to rely on Xue Mengyu's dowry to make a living. How come she is so clueless and doesn't know how to curry favor with them?
Their argument is just putting him in the middle, making him feel caught in the middle.
Then there's Xue Mengyu, who isn't particularly good-looking, but because he's rich, he doesn't even respect his own mother.
What they said was a bit too much.
Does her disdain for his mother also mean that she looks down on him?
How dare a mere female merchant who sells incense look down on him?
Just wait, they'll all have to wait.
No matter what, he's determined to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, then he'll make the Xue family pay!
With his eyes closed, Qi Mingyu was rapidly pondering these things in his mind and was unwilling to open them.
When Xue Mengyu poked him again, he said "Stop making noise" with a hint of impatience, and then struggled to lie down on his side.
His lower back and spine were in so much pain, it was almost killing him.
His mother, completely disregarding his health, insisted on giving him that medicine.
Yes, he got through his wedding night peacefully, but he'll probably be spending the next few days in bed.
But how is he going to explain to Xue Mengyu that he's not getting out of bed?
All night has passed and he still has to hold it in when he needs to relieve himself.
I can't hold it in any longer, and that woman Xue Mengyu still won't leave!
Get out! Get him out of here!
While Qi Mingyu waited anxiously, Xue Mengyu called his name a few times, but seeing that he didn't wake up, she left on her own.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Madam Shen leaning against the doorway and scoffed in annoyance.
"Your son is still sleeping, don't disturb him."
From now on, you are not allowed to enter my room.
Someone as poor as you, who knows if you're dishonest?
If my things are lost, you can't afford to compensate me.
Now, get out of here!
As she spoke, she prepared to go to the next room to relieve herself.
Before going inside, he added, "Starting today, we'll eat separately."
You two can sit at one table, and my husband and I will sit at the other.
After saying that, she didn't even look at Madam Shen before going inside to relieve herself.
Qi Mingyu's family had shown her the blueprints for building this house.
Therefore, she knew what each room was for.
In the main room, Qi Mingyu opened his eyes as she left.
He dared not call for help, and could only struggle to sit up.
Just this one movement caused him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
Unable to utter a word after being rebuked by Xue Mengyu, Madam Shen felt that having such a daughter-in-law was her retribution.
If they hadn't gotten involved in all that nonsense back then, Mrs. Chi wouldn't have divorced her second son.
Even so, her family's life remained the envy of everyone in the village.
