"Ma'am, are you making trouble again?"
"Hey, hurry up and get to work. The master's affairs are not allowed to be discussed by servants. You may be betrayed by the madam later." Mammy said seriously.
The young maid shuddered, remembering that when Madam first came in, she was dissatisfied with the young master's marriage, so she directly sold the marriage without knowing what the outcome would be. It was all a gamble with her life.
This method of selling is crude, but extremely effective. At least the maid will not dare to have the little idea of climbing into bed.
The old lady was slightly dissatisfied, but seeing that she was new to the family, she didn't say anything.
The new lady was Hua Wuxue who had just passed away. She was originally the direct daughter of the Taifu. She had a noble status and outstanding appearance. No matter where she went, she was always sought after.
But since she married her current husband, Shen Jinran, her status is far less than before. Her husband's father passed away early, and her mother-in-law is in charge of the family. Her handkerchiefs are all the sons of high-ranking officials and first-class nobles in the clan. She is the only one who has entered this place. From a noble family, her father said that the Shen family had a good family tradition, but in her opinion, they were just some pedantic scholars, and her husband was like a wooden man, abiding by etiquette in everything, and spending most of his time hiding in the study, reading and writing.
When she first got married, she was extremely aggrieved and felt that her life should not be like this. During the wedding, Shen Jinran saw her cold expression and seemed to be resentful, so he slept in the study and ordered his servants not to tell the old lady.
Later, Hua Wuxue met Tongfang Piaoyun, who was a timid woman.
Her eyes suddenly turned red with anger, thinking that Shen Jinran, the daughter of her Tutor, was just a civil servant. She was already full of grievances by marrying at a low age. How dare he have another woman? She rushed to the study and pointed at Shen Jinran and said, "Shen Jinran, what do you have?" You are not qualified to take a concubine. If I see you taking a concubine from now on, I will go to my father and tell you that since your family is in decline, marrying me will be your greatest honor. Why should you have second thoughts?"
Shen Jinran tightened his grip on the brush and slowly released it, and said in a deep voice, "This is my fault."
He didn't want to marry her at the beginning. He knew that his family was poor and he had never dreamed of a noble daughter from a well-known family. However, because he got the first Jie Yuan in the examination in his hometown, the Taifu praised him for his extraordinary knowledge. He also heard that his family background was pure and he had many children. A great scholar and academician of the academy, he bluntly stated that he wanted to betroth his legitimate daughter to him.
Because Piaoyun had been kind to him, he accepted her as his roommate. He didn't dare to hide the matter, so he told the Taifu. The Taifu said nonchalantly: "It's just a roommate, it's not a big deal."
Seeing that Taifu had not changed his mind, Shen Jinran promised not to take any more concubines in his life.
I thought that as long as Hua Wuxue was treated well, the husband and wife supported each other, and the music and music were harmonious, they could live a happy life.
I just didn't expect that Hua Wuxue looked down on him from the beginning, despised him for not understanding the style, and looked down on his family background.
The original apology from Tongfang had long since disappeared in the cold glare she gave him.
Later, Hua Wuxue actually took advantage of the old lady's illness to sell the entire house directly.
It is impossible for Shen Jinran to treat the heroine wholeheartedly like Yuan Zhan in his previous life, watching Piao Yun being sold out, not daring to offend the master, suppressing his dissatisfaction and not speaking out, but the relationship between husband and wife has reached a freezing point.
Hua Wuxue often lost her temper because of this matter, and her servants did not dare to offend her, but occasionally they would discuss her behind her back. In the next two years, neither husband nor wife had sex. Shen Jinran regarded himself as an ancestor and devoted himself to studying. His hard work paid off. He won the first place in the imperial examination. After the palace examination, he was appointed by the emperor as the concubine. .
In the end, because the prince's lineage was suppressed by King Su, he was unable to stay in the Hanlin Academy and was sent to Jiancheng, a remote and poor county, as magistrate.
The old lady wanted Hua Wuxue to go with her. Shen Jinran was already twenty-six years old and had no children yet. He was the only male in the Shen family, so the old lady became anxious.
Hua Wuxue heard that the place was bitterly cold all year round, and her skin needed facial cream every day, which was made from precious medicinal materials. Although she had a generous dowry and was not short of money, she could not buy it at that place.
"If I don't go, don't even think about it. If I hadn't married you, would I have fallen to that kind of place?"
Shen Jinran's eyes turned gray and she didn't force her. She went directly to Jiancheng alone. The old lady was very dissatisfied with her. Because the master had not yet fallen, she could only suppress her anger.
During the five years of exile, the court underwent rapid changes, the prince was deposed, King Su and King Chen fought endlessly, and everything collapsed in the blink of an eye, and King Zhan succeeded to the throne. During the reign of emperor and courtiers, many officials were dismissed, demoted, or even exiled. There were a lot of vacant official positions in the capital. Yuan Zhan saw that Shen Jinran's evaluation during the five years had been excellent, that the economy and agriculture had developed well during the governance of Jian City, and that he had inherited a scholarly family for many years, so he directly transferred him back to the capital to serve as the Minister of Honglu Temple. .
Hua Wuxue's father has resigned. The Hua family has long been in decline because the prince was deposed early. The old lady made the decision for Shen Jinran to take a concubine. Hua Wuxue made a fuss and disagreed. The old lady has long been dissatisfied with her arrogance and willfulness. Usually, Forget it if he doesn't respect her, she actually doesn't care about her husband at all. She has been living abroad for five years without even saying to send a letter. Shen Jinran is over thirty, she has not given birth to an heir, and she is not allowed to have a concubine. If not For Huafu's sake, she had long wanted Shen Jinran to divorce her.
The old lady locked Hua Wuxue in the house and asked her servants to keep an eye on her, and did not allow her to come out to cause trouble.
Hua Wuxue scolded Shen Jinran in the room as the most heartless and unjust person, and the servants all took a detour, making the old lady very angry.
On that day, Hua Wuxue recovered her past life memories and couldn't believe how she ended up in this situation. She was an extremely noble queen back then. Who was Shen Jinran?
"Yuan Zhan is still the emperor in this life. Why didn't I marry him but Shen Jinran?"
Hua Wuxue looked at this strange room in disbelief. Thinking of this life, everything was not going well. She failed to meet the teenage Yuan Zhan, and then she deviated from her destiny step by step. Compared with the previous life, this life was simply falling into In the dust.
She looked at the old jewelry on the dressing table and the rough fabrics in the wardrobe with disgust.
At first, on the wedding day of Hua Wuxue and Yuan Zhan, she thought he was forcing her to marry him, so she refused to let him touch her. That night, Yuan Zhan's eyes were lonely, and he forced a smile and said he respected her wishes and still doted on her. As before, unlike Shen Jinran now, who showed his true colors so quickly and still treated him coldly.
At that time, Hua Wuxue had not yet recognized Feng Long's true face, so she asked him to let go of Marquis Xuanping's family. Although Marquis Xuanping had bullied Yuan Zhan, Yuan Zhan had to give in for her sake.
Yuan Zhan treated her like a jewel, like fragile porcelain in the palm of his hand, fearing that something would not go well with her. Later, due to an accident, Hua Wuxue became pregnant. After Yuan Zhan learned the news, he held her tight Her hand showed a pure smile that she had never seen before, filled with happiness. He said: "Wuxue, I have never had a complete family since I was a child, and the relationship between my parents is too weak. This is my fault." My first child, I will protect it well in the future and never let it become the person I used to be."
Seeing his high-spirited look, Hua Wuxue felt a trace of guilt in her heart, but what she blurted out was: "I don't like this child."
Yuan Zhan showed a disappointed look as expected, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Wuxue. If you have any unhappiness, you can blame me. Don't hurt yourself and don't leave me."
She said calmly: "I know."
