Synopsis
The Ning family fell into decline, and her sister-in-law escaped from marriage. Ning Zhaoyu was forced into the sedan chair of the Yongning Marquis Mansion. No one in the house was optimistic about this marriage. The Pei family was powerful, but she was just a substitute concubine sent by a declining family. What's more, Pei Heng also has a cousin who is better than her in family background and appearance. The whole family agrees that she should be a serious lady of the Hou family. Everyone despises her. No one would have thought that this new bride of the Pei family would save the life of the old lady of the Pei family with a gold hairpin on her wedding night. After her marriage, her medical skills gradually spread in the capital and she opened a medicine hall. The medicine hall earns a lot of money every day, but she still holds a free clinic without charging any money. The powerful and powerful come to seek help with a lot of money, but they don't refuse. The poor who don't have money come to the door, but they still treat them without fail. Within a few months, when people in the capital mentioned her, they all called her "living bodhisattva". ———— Pei Heng initially thought of it as a cooperation where everyone gets what he needs. But I don't know since when, he would wait outside the house with a lamp when she came home late from a medical visit. He would also remember that she was afraid of the cold and always had a cup of ginger and jujube tea warm on her desk. The medicine she mentioned casually was delivered by a horse from thousands of miles away the next day. The two teamed up to overthrow the Taifu. On the night of the celebration, he cut off a strand of his black hair, tied it with hers, and whispered: "We share the same pillow with our knotted hair." She thought this was a white-headed promise. Until that day, she caught him having a private meeting with his cousin. She had turned a deaf ear to the rumors in the house in the past; she had also advised herself not to care about his old relationship that he had never explained. The only thing she couldn't bear was working with the same husband. Ning Zhaoyu resolutely wrote a letter of separation, but a fire broke out in the medicine hall, and she took advantage of the chaos to escape. On the way out of Beijing, she discovered that she was pregnant... ———— Three years later. Pei Heng thought she died in the fire and spent three years guarding the empty house. Once on a business trip south, he stopped in front of a drug store. There was a woman standing behind the counter, her profile looked very much like hers, and she was holding a pink and jade-carved doll beside her. He was humble and entangled, bowing his head and being greedy: "Zhaoyu, have mercy on me..." The man in his arms was trembling all over, but he didn't dare to make any sound. Pei Heng followed her gaze to look at Zongzi sleeping soundly behind the screen, and raised his hand to gently caress her belly. "Would you please come with me... I regard this child as my own. Don't leave me again..." Purpose: cherish the present moment
