Xu Huaixu had once sworn before the emperor that he would never take a concubine in this life, all so he could marry Qiao Zhiqing. But in the end, he changed his heart.
He had only been away at war for two years, yet the moment he returned, he couldn’t wait to insist on taking another wife as his equal.
For those two years, she had cared for her parents-in-law and managed the family business, even using her dowry to cover a shortfall of over a million taels in her husband’s family finances. And this was what she got in return?
Fortunately, Heaven could not bear to see her suffer, and often warned her through dreams.
Only then did she realize that not only was her dear husband a greedy, ungrateful wolf, but the more than ten members of his family were all the same: greedy people who turned on those who had helped them.
If they couldn’t part on good terms, then he couldn’t blame her for tearing down the Xu family’s reputation with her own hands and ruining the future of every last one of them!
Make a mark. Too bad.
