Everyone in the capital knew that Meng Shuyi, the daughter of the richest man, fell in love with the current imperial master Shen Yansui.
For him, she spent all her wealth to make up for the shortfall of the Shen family; when her mother-in-law made things difficult for her, she turned her back on herself; even when Shen Yansui's wet nurse's daughter showed off her power in front of her, she silently tolerated it.
Shen Yansui thinks so too.
During the day, he was a cold, dignified and aloof Taifu, and he was extremely indifferent to her: "You are just a merchant, and you have reached a high level to join the Shen family. Don't treat Hongyuan harshly."
At night, like an insatiable beast, he forcefully tied her to the couch, even tied a golden bell on her ankle, lusting after every inch of her body.
Shen Yansui thought that Meng Shuyi would be like a dog, obediently lying at his feet.
Until that day, the wet nurse's daughter framed him, and Shen Yansui banned Meng Shuyi, who was suffering from a high fever, from the woodshed for the sake of his reputation as an outsider.
That night, a huge fire broke out in Taifu's mansion.
Shen Yansui kicked open the charred door and saw only a female corpse and a "letter of divorce" written in tears.
At that moment, the Taifu, who had always remained calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai, vomited out a mouthful of black blood and frantically searched for the golden bell in the ruins.
Three years later, Jiangnan was in mist.
The powerful Taifu had red eyes. He knelt humbly in front of the sedan chair of the richest woman in the south of the Yangtze River. He tightly grasped the hem of her skirt and said, "I will give you my life. Can you come home with me?"
The sedan curtain opened, Meng Shuyi sneered and kicked him away: "Get out of the way, don't block the way of the richest man to recruit a son-in-law."
