The whole capital is betting that the eldest son of the Ouyang family will not survive this winter.
When Liang Shuyao was sixteen years old, she was sold to this sick man by her stepmother.
The stepmother rushed to write her name in the marriage certificate and jumped into the fire pit for her biological daughter.
It was only after I got married that I realized something was wrong.
His medicine is cooked on time, delivered on time, and drank on time every day. It is as precise as following a procedure.
When his mother-in-law made things difficult for her, he blocked her with just one word. The dowry was taken away and he sent someone to get it back that same day.
She wrote down the first doubt in her account book: Is this person terminally ill, or is he hiding too deeply?
Until that night she saw him with his back turned to her, his back straight and his soft sword as fast as lightning.
She turned to run away.
He spoke from behind, and there was no hint of weakness in his voice:
"You already guessed it, didn't you?"
——
He feigned illness. She plays dumb.
He hides his edge, avoids murderous intentions, and holds hidden clues. No one believes him.
She was treated harshly in her parents' family for sixteen years, and she developed a good accounting book - who had harmed her, and who had embezzled, all were written down in the book.
When he married her, he originally just wanted to find a law-abiding real wife.
When she married him, she originally only wanted a stable roof.
Unexpectedly, the two masked people recognized each other in the dark.
"The rules of survival here are the same as those of your Liang family - the more afraid you are of trouble, the more trouble will come to you."
Later, the whole capital knew about it——
The sick prince who was bet that he would not survive the winter not only survived, but also single-handedly brought down the imperial merchant Lin family.
The legitimate daughter beside him who was never favored became the mistress of the house that no one could offend.
Someone asked her her secret, and she smiled: "It's nothing, I just married a sick person."
