The eldest daughter of Ning'an Household, Lu Suqing, was already stunningly beautiful at the age of 18, which attracted all the nobles in the city to beg for her hand in marriage. Instead, she led a spiritual practice for three years in the name of praying for her mother - until the Queen Mother married her to Wei Xiao, the Zhongyong Marquis.
Uncle Lu was deeply afraid that his legitimate daughter, who had refused to marry until her death, would not comply, so he tried hard and soft to persuade her, and was finally pleased to hear her agree:
"Okay."
Who would have known that there was a boy who had been hidden in Lu Shuqing's heart for ten years. She made a picture album for him every month and carved a wood sculpture for him every year, imagining what he would look like when he grew up.
On the day when he returned to the capital, wearing armor and standing tall on a tall war horse, she stood by the window of the tea house, tears pouring down——
You finally returned safely!
How lucky I am to be able to marry you!
But on the wedding night, she not only stayed alone in the empty room, but also had a bizarre dream. She had been married for five years and still had nothing. Wei Xiao did not take any concubines, but only brought an orphan back to her as his legitimate son. She was immersed in the sweetness of love when she heard him say to her mother-in-law on the sickbed:
"My son used Jue Si Xiang in the Lu family's house back then just to remember her father's hatred. Now she has taken care of the Marquis's house in order. When she has a wife, she can take her back to raise her."
Like a slap in the face!
Lu Shuqing woke up in a cold sweat. The marriage was a foregone conclusion, but she wanted to change her way of life...
.
Wei Xiao was exiled to the border with his father at the age of fourteen. During the ten years, he was awarded the title of Marquis for his military merits. He was the sword used by the emperor to crush his relatives, and the queen mother used marriage as the scabbard. Uncle Lu played an indispensable role in the frame-up back then.
It's hard to disobey Yi's decree, so just leave it alone after getting married - on the wedding night, he casually lifted the bride's red hijab and went out to do business.
When he returned home after half a month, he was greeted by a room full of concubines showing off their skills, and the newlywed woman was being punished by his mother to kneel in the small ancestral hall——
It's too much to bully a weak woman like this.
That night, he planned to stay overnight and arrange a marriage. "From now on, I will give you the dignity of Mrs. Hou. Mother, please be more tolerant."
Who knows that this little woman is more sensible than he thought...
But Wei Xiao didn't know at this time that this understanding would later make him feel like a stick in his throat, like a thorn in his back, or like a knife scraping his bones!
