After three years of marriage, Pei Yingqiu came into more money than she could spend in a lifetime. Holding the divorce papers that cast her out for being infertile, she unexpectedly discovered she was pregnant.
The Marquis's household was a place that devoured people without even spitting out their bones, so Pei Yingqiu decisively chose to keep the child and leave the father behind.
In doing so, she overlooked Xie Yuan's words when he handed her the separation agreement: that this was only a temporary measure, and he would bring her back.
Xie Yuan kept his word, so she could only comfort herself with the thought that returning with him was also just a temporary measure, for the sake of a healthy pregnancy.
Just as Pei Yingqiu was figuring out how to escape both the Marquis's household and Xie Yuan, her full brother, whom she had believed dead at the border, came back from the dead. He had also become a hero who helped the new emperor ascend the throne.
Pei Yingqiu: Wonderful! At last, someone can stand up for me! I’ll escape the Marquis’s household and men, then raise my daughter alone with all the money I could ever need~
Xie Yuan: Wait, what? Where’s my wife? The one I had right here???
Premise: Let’s just leave it at that.
