[Alternate history] [Marquis’s legitimate daughter] [The commander of the Embroidered Guards is her original husband] [Scheming imperial uncle takes her by force]
Shen Nanqiao, eldest legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Pingjiang, was robbed and lost her chastity on the way back to the capital from Jiangnan.
When she returned to the capital, her family stared at her in shock. “The eldest young lady went to Jiangnian to recuperate, but came back fatter than ever. She looks like the picture of peace and prosperity. Did her maternal family spend all the money they embezzled on fattening her up?”
Huo Yunzhou, commander of the Embroidered Guards, showed up at the marquis’s residence uninvited. He saw a huge ball of flesh skillfully roll down from the wall and secretly broke into a cold sweat.
But she held up half a ledger and said, “Marry me, Commander, and I’ll hand over the entire ledger.”
Huo Yunzhou: “Fine. I agree.”
They formed an alliance and had a splendid wedding. Their marriage was in name only, yet she gave birth to a son.
Shen Nanqiao: “I’ve been vindicated. Let’s divorce. Zheng’er is coming with me.”
Commander Huo: “I absolutely refuse to divorce!”
…
The imperial uncle returned to the capital on the emperor’s orders to marry. One look at the eldest young lady, and he decided to take her by force.
“Why didn’t you come to me? So what if I’m a prince with my own territory? Am I not better than some little commander of the Embroidered Guards?”
He was so furious his heart and liver ached. “If you won’t marry me, I’ll kill Huo Yunzhou!”
Shen Nanqiao: “Go ahead. I’m about to divorce him anyway.”
Huo Yunzhou: “I’m not afraid of some prince. Let’s fight!”
Will the child stay?
