Marrying the Marquis's Second Uncle

Yun Jiao was beautiful as peach blossoms, with a slender waist and delicate fingers that had never touched the spring water. In her previous life, she married into a marquis's household in great style and became the wife of a marquis. But before a year had passed, the marquis began bringing concubine after concubine into the residence. From then on, Yun Jiao became the vicious, jealous woman in the mouths of the common people, and ultimately met a tragic end. Living her life over again, she watched the marquis and his mistress acting all lovey-dovey and turned up her nose in disdain. With a little clever maneuvering, she married Ning Ke, the marquis's nineteen-year-old uncle, rumored not to live past twenty. He was fabulously wealthy, but also a sickly man who was always taking medicine. Later, after marrying Ning Ke, the sickly man blossomed and grew healthier by the day. She, meanwhile, had two children in three years. Yun Jiao looked troubled. "Weren't you supposed to die before twenty? Which one of us isn't going to make it to twenty?" - That night, Ning Ke murmured lazily in her ear, gently stroking her slightly rounded belly. "My wife truly underestimates me. Your husband is strong and vigorous. Not only will I live past twenty, I'll live to see our children and grandchildren fill the house." Theme:
