Cui Wu died suddenly after staying up late and working overtime. When she woke up, she traveled through time and became the direct daughter of the Cui family with the same name.
The good news is that Cui Wu has lived a life that she never dared to dream about before her sudden death. She can get clothes, food, mouth, and even call slaves without using 996. The bad news is that her father died early, and she relies on her sick mother to support the family. The clan leader came to her mother every now and then to persuade her to remarry. When she reached the age of hair, her mother finally couldn't hold on any longer. He took her hand and told her, "Find a sick son-in-law, lest those people in the clan try to seize the family's property and kill you."
Cui Wu responded with tears in her eyes, but she was really in trouble. Everyone around her was surrounded by people who had ill intentions towards her. They were concerned about their family property, her beauty and even her life.
She didn't want to give away her family property to others, nor did she want to be the one to blame.
So while keeping the family secret and dealing with the matchmakers who came to visit, they secretly asked people to choose a son-in-law.
It's a pity that in this era, there are many sick and weak people with poor appearance. Although she wants to have a child, she really can't sleep.
On this day, on her way to the villa, she saw a man floating in the river. Although his body was covered in scars and his face was pale, he could not hide his noble appearance.
Although the old saying says not to pick up men on the roadside, Cui Wu looked at the man's face and thought about her own situation and still picked him up and took him home.
The handsome man lost his memory and could not remember his identity. He only remembered that someone called him Xie Shenzhi in the past. Cui Wu consulted a doctor for him. She visited him every day and used her beauty to deliberately seduce him and told him his difficulties through others.
The two naturally fell in love and became husband and wife. When they were in love at night, she called him to be careful.
Cui Wu was pregnant and gave birth to a son ten months later. During her son's full-moon banquet, she felt that the man was gradually alienating her. He often looked at her in a trance. She guessed that he had recovered his memory. She thought that her status was not worthy of being his wife.
Sure enough, a group of people came from the capital that day and knocked on the door of Cui's house.
It turns out that he is Xie Shenzhi, the eldest son of Duke Dingguo, and his biological mother is the eldest princess. She has a noble status and a prominent family background.
Xie Shenzhi regained his identity. He no longer had the warmth and closeness of the past. His voice was only distant and polite: "Thank you for saving my life. But because of my different status, I can only treat you as my concubine. Are you willing to come back to Beijing with me?"
Cui Wu looked at him for a long time and finally shook her head.
"I don't ask for anything else to save my life. This child will bear my surname Cui, so as to avoid any rift between you and your future wife. You must agree, right?"
Xie Shenzhi was silent for a while and nodded in agreement.
"As a couple, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can send someone to write and let me know."
After saying this, he turned around and left with the others. Cui Wu guessed that he would soon get married and have children, forgetting everything that happened here, as well as her and her son.
But they didn't know that Xie Shenzhi, the prince of Duke Dingguo, had returned to Beijing for three years and had not seen the gentle and dignified person he used to be. Due to a headache, he could not sleep at night and his temperament changed drastically. He always painted a girl under candlelight at night.
From time to time, subordinates would bring back news about Nan Bian'er.
"Your Majesty, my wife said that you are the son of a great family. You abandoned your wife and son to marry a high-ranking woman, but you still care about her and your son. You also forge letters and banknotes sent from the capital every month, which makes everyone in the clan very jealous."
"Your Majesty, my wife went out to do business. She lied that she was a widowed young woman and brought her son to make some money. The family gave her 30% of the profit."
"Your Majesty, my wife rescued a young man who escaped from the Elephant Pavilion and made him a close bodyguard."
The prince's head ailments are getting worse day by day.
The old lady in the mansion couldn't stand it anymore, so she finally ordered her personal maid: "Take someone to bring Ms. Cui and her child to the capital."
Xie Shenzhi looked at Yu Wu, who had a rosy complexion, and asked coldly: "I abandoned my wife and children to marry a wealthy woman, but I still can't let go of you and your children. Why am I writing to you and sending you money every month?"
Cui Wu swallowed.
"Your husband died and you took your son to make a living?"
Cui Wu took a step back.
"You rescued a young man from the Elephant House and asked him to be your personal bodyguard?"
"When you come to Beijing this time, do you want to bring him with you?"
"Ah Wu, why do you always pick up random people, just me, but you also pick up others from outside the Elephant House?"
Intention: Contentment and happy life
