It was raining outside the house, and the fine white water vapor that rose blurred the vision. The pot of blooming peony under the corridor was broken by raindrops, and the pink and white petals fell all over the ground.

Xiao Yunniang knelt indoors with a white face, feeling the blue bricks under her knees were biting cold, and the coldness kept rushing to her heart, making people tremble all over. Her weak fingers pressed tightly on the ground, almost cutting holes through the blue bricks. She had just passed the confinement period and was still empty, but at this moment she couldn't care about anything.

"Grandmother, Doctor Xu only said that his granddaughter-in-law has difficulty conceiving in the future, but he never said that he could not give birth to a child anymore. Why did you have to fight each other so hard?" She gasped, as if exhausted, "What's more, Aunt Yang has already given birth to Yu Ge'er..."

Before he could finish his words, the old woman sitting in the head snorted coldly and interrupted her: "Do you know that it was the child born by the aunt? A fool who is ungrateful, you should have planned for yourself if you can't give birth to a legitimate son for Chongwen. What's wrong with me doing this for your own good?"

"Please..." Xiao Yunniang knew that she was afraid that she could not touch her this time, so she couldn't help but point her pale face at the middle-aged woman standing beside the old woman - the old lady of the Ye family, her mother-in-law, "Mother..."

Mrs. Ye sighed slightly in her heart, looking at her second daughter-in-law who had been kneeling for half an hour, she finally couldn't bear it and advised: "Mother, the second daughter-in-law has just passed the confinement period, so it's not too late to wait until she recovers."

However, after speaking, the aroma of Ruinao in the room suddenly became cold. The old woman sitting suddenly turned her head and glared at her, then looked at Xiao Yunniang with a pale face, sighed, and finally softened her tone: "Yunniang, you are not a grandmother's cruel! But you have no legitimate son, and you will eventually hold a concubine's son to raise him. If he grows up, he will be your son. If you don't like the children born by Aunt Yang, then don't want them. If you give him something else, you will have something else." She said, but her voice rose again, "But you are not in good health, and there is only one Aunt Yang around Chongwen, how enough? The Ye family members are not prosperous. Whether the children are born in the legitimate or illegitimate, they are all the blood of the Ye family. It is always good to have more. Besides, the concubine is just a thing, there is already one, so why not?"

Xiao Yunniang's hands, holding the ground, softened her body and fell heavily.

The old woman hurriedly called someone to help her, but Xiao Yunniang pushed her away.

She stood up straight with difficulty: "Grandmother, did you ever think about asking your grandfather to take a concubine in the past? Because you are a princess, your grandfather never even has a girl. The great truth you keep saying is, but in fact, it is just because I have no one to rely on. Therefore, I trampled on my granddaughter-in-law so recklessly!"

"Random!" The old woman suddenly became angry and threw the stove in her sleeves hard, burning charcoal and scattering all over the ground, sizzling.

However, she was still not satisfied. She suddenly grabbed the idle crutch at her hand and knocked it heavily, wishing to wake her up with one stick. "General Xiao raised his daughter like this? Look at your own appearance, unfilial and unkind, and rude! I am willing to tell you about this, and even if you give you enough face, you dare to be so presumptuous!"

The crutches knocked the ground thudded, but Xiao Yunniang said to herself: "If you want to take a concubine, then let me go."

"Don't you go?" The old woman's forehead pounded, and her crutch was thrown out and hit her, "Okay, very good! If you don't want to take a concubine, then I'll get him a fair wife and come in, and kill you well!"

Mrs. Ye was shocked when she heard this and hurriedly said, "Mother, how can a family like us marry a fair wife! Isn't this going to make people laugh?"

"Just?" the old woman sneered and sat upright, "I want to see, who dares to laugh at me in this world!"

Those eyes, those faces, and those bodies are already old, but the innate momentum has not dissipated with the passage of time.

At this moment, Xiao Yunniang and Mrs. Ye realized that the vicissitudes of the old woman sitting on the head was not an old lady everywhere, but the royal princess Qingying, the new emperor's aunt! She wanted to marry a fair wife to her grandson, who in the world dared to laugh?

He was shocked and Xiao Yunniang couldn't help but feel annoyed at the stupid words she said just now.

——Pair wife.

Even using such tricks, the Ye family will sooner or later have no place to belong to her...

However, she had to surrender.

In a blink of an eye, the candidate for a wife was chosen. The prominent family in Youzhou and the daughter of the legitimate birth.

After Xiao Yunniang learned about it, she sat with her young daughter for a night, feeling that her heart was broken. Her daughter had been seven months old and wanted to talk all day long, but she had no intention of amusing her.

She hugged her daughter tightly and murmured to her in her voice: "Akui, Akui..."

It seems like calling my daughter, or it seems like calling me that I am passing by.

Sunflowers grow towards the sun.

After so many years, she almost forgot that she had a name called Shu Kui. She just slept for a while, opened her eyes and was trapped in another body. She became Xiao Yunniang and grew up day by day. It was not until she met Ye Chongwen that her life began to ripples again.

The price she paid for in love with an ancient man who was born and raised was much greater than she thought.

She looked out the window, and a wind mixed with the fragrance of autumn chrysanthemums blew towards her. She was stunned, then she let go of her daughter in her arms and retreated to the corner to retching. The maid who was doing needlework on the side saw it and walked quickly to her side and patted her back and said, "Madam, can it be..."

"Come to invite a doctor quietly." After a while, Xiao Yunniang covered her mouth and whispered.

In the bleak autumn wind, the old doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations to Madam, it's a happy pulse."

Xiao Yunniang stroked her flat belly and was surprised. In just half a year, she had been considered extremely uncomfortable to conceive and had a body again. She just felt that it was God's pity and went to find her husband to report the good news with joy, but who knew that things were in the opposite direction as she thought. For the Ye family, this incident was mixed, but it was not enough to change any status quo. The marriage that should be made is still to be settled.

Only then did she realize her innocence.

Even if she gives birth to a legitimate son tomorrow, the Ye family will never retire. The second daughter of the prominent Youzhou clan is not a marriage that the family can retire if they want. Seeing her newly promoted and her husband who is about to marry a bride, Xiao Yunniang suddenly smiled.

How could she forget that she is not only the daughter of the Xiao family in Fengcheng, but also Shu Kui. The soul that did not belong to this world has lived like a real ancient man for so long, and now it is time to live once according to her own wishes.

She threw away the useless idea of ​​wanting the Ye family to withdraw from their marriage and raised her body with peace of mind. After learning the news, even Princess Qingying, who had no choice but to praise her for being much more sensible.

One month later, the He family in Youzhou entered the door.

It was said that it was a fair wife, but this ceremony was not at all different from when she married her. There were people coming and going outside the house, but no one seemed to see her.

Although he is still the title of a wife, everyone knows that since the Xiao family is in decline, Xiao Yunniang can no longer hold on to the word "right wife".

However, Princess Qingying began to worry about her since she knew she was pregnant and ordered in front of the newcomer: "Let me find someone to invite Yun Niang, she should eat this cup of tea."

Ye Chongwen couldn't help but frown and called out his grandmother softly.

Princess Qingying knew at a glance that this boy didn't want to invite someone. The bride offered tea to Yun Niang because she wanted to hold a concubine's courtesy. But today's tea is disrespectful and has to be respected. She has been arrogant all her life and no one can object to what she believes. Everyone could not, so they had to go and invite someone.

However, unexpectedly—

"Princess, the second lady is gone!" The old slave who had served Princess Qingying for the rest of her life said in panic in her ear.

Princess Qingying's hand trembled, and the teacup she was holding fell to the ground with a "clang" and was shocked and angry. She shouted in a deep voice: "Go and find it!"

But looking for it? Where to look for it?

The guests are everywhere, and the Ye family, which is filled with joy, has long lost the figures of Xiao Yunniang and the eldest lady Ye Kui...
