He Yuzhu knew that Pei Yuanqing didn't like her.
Just because she was the daughter of a minor official who the Pei family had to marry in order to dispel the emperor's suspicion, and her husband, who was famous in the capital, had someone else in his heart.
She thought that since she was his married wife, as long as she treated him with sincerity, she would always warm her heart as hard as stone.
He Yuzhu learned to be a qualified daughter-in-law of an aristocratic family, being filial to her parents-in-law, caring for her younger siblings, and doing her best to do her part.
But her thoughts were never worth anything to him. The soup she boiled after scalding her hand was given to his servants at will by him; the pajamas he made with her own hands were abandoned deep in the cage; even the hosta she made with her master's hard work was broken to pieces because he was in a hurry to see the one she loved.
She finally became disheartened and decided not to stand in his way anymore. Just guard your own courtyard and live in peace.
Until the night of her birthday, he was so drunk that he broke into her bedroom and couldn't help but bully her. What came out of his lips was another person's name.
He Yuzhu gave up completely. She caressed her belly, which was not yet showing her pregnancy, left a piece of paper and Li Shu, and ran away.

As the second son of the Pei family of the Hairpin family, Pei Yuanqing has always been self-disciplined and disciplined. One of the only two gaffes in his life was that he had to give up the person he had chosen long ago for the sake of the family and marry the daughter of a minor official, He Yuzhu.
On the wedding night, looking at the expectant and shy look in the woman's eyes, he said in a cold voice, "Be your young lady of the Pei family" and walked away.
He doesn't like her because her presence reminds him all the time that even if he is a good strategist, he still can't escape the fate of compromising for the family.
So he deliberately ignored her and treated her with indifference and turned a blind eye no matter how cautiously she showed her kindness.
Until that day, someone plotted against him, and he fell in love with her by mistake after using traditional Chinese medicine. He thought it was her trick again, and he felt more disgusted in his heart, and decided to end it completely with her.
He went to her courtyard to look for her, but learned that she had left the city to pray for blessings. He sat in that courtyard that he rarely set foot in all day long, without waiting for He Yuzhu to return, only waiting for the bad news that her carriage fell off a cliff and was missing.
Pei Yuanqing crumpled the paper and Li Shu, feeling seriously ill.
Later, someone saw the noble and cold second son of the Pei family at the bottom of the cliff behind the Buddhist temple in the suburbs of Beijing. His fingers were dripping with blood and he looked like a madman. He kept digging at the pile of rocks and murmured hoarsely over and over again: "He Yuzhu, come out. I want to see people alive, but... I want to see corpses when I die."
—Later, Lady Yuzhu, who was famous in the south of the Yangtze River for her jade business, was kind to everyone.
The only thing I don't want to see is the head of the Pei family, Pei Yuanqing.
