Marrying a powerful man: The third master is wild and untamable

Chapter 14 Aunt

But she never sent a single piece of money to her parents' home.

Jincheng never gave her any money at all, but her parents often sent money to subsidize her...

Shen Xiuwan glanced at Mrs. Fu who was in a good mood. She was afraid of spoiling her mood, so she had to endure the situation and drink tea in silence.

Falling into Fu Jincheng's eyes, he tugged at his thin lips.

The birthday banquet lasted all day.

At night, young people also played cards and danced in the banquet hall. Mrs. Fu was too old to bear the trouble, so she went upstairs first and called Shen Xiuwan and Liu Manling to come in to talk.

The small living room on the second floor has a Japanese tatami style. My sister-in-law, Cen Qingru, is accompanying me and is making tea for Mrs. Fu. She studied in Japan and is very good at the tea ceremony there.

Liu Manling said attentively: "I have always heard the third master mention that my wife is young and gentle. Today I saw it with my own eyes. She is even better than what he said! If I hadn't heard Jincheng call you mother, I would have thought you were Jincheng's sister!"

This flattery suits Mrs. Fu very well.

She was born into an official family. Her great-grandfather was an official in the Qing Dynasty. She was young when she married the commander-in-chief. Now she has seven children. Her children are filial and her husband loves her. She always feels that she is still young and she always likes to be coaxed. With.

Her third daughter-in-law would not be able to say such beautiful words. She would stand there like a piece of wood all day long, become extremely aloof after reading a few books, have a clumsy tongue and slow reflexes. No wonder she did not like Jincheng.

She said: "I asked you two to come up because I have some words to give you."

Liu Manling had already guessed what was going on, and the smile on her face became more and more excited: "Madam, just say it if you have anything to say. You are a person who has been there, so your words are definitely correct. As juniors, we naturally have to listen to you!"

Shen Xiuwan knelt down on the futon and lowered her head in silence.

Mrs. Fu picked up a cup of brewed tea, put it to her lips, blew on it, and said slowly: "As women, the most important thing in this life is to give birth to a son for our husband to carry on the family line. In the past, the three main wives If you have nothing to earn, you have to be divorced. Although times are different now, and our family is a new type of family, and we don’t pay attention to divorce, but how can we do it without heirs? "

Liu Manling immediately said: "Madam is absolutely right. I am often worried about the third master and the third young mistress. How can the third master do it without a son? Because of this, I couldn't sleep all night long!"

Shen Xiuwan stared at Cen Qingru as she made tea. The tea was misty and her eyes were a little sore.

Mrs. Fu continued: "Xiu Wan."

Shen Xiuwan responded: "Mom?"

"I've said so much, you should understand what I mean. After all, it's not a problem that you don't have a child. I made the decision and let Manling officially follow Jincheng. From now on, you will still be the head wife at home, letting Manling Ling moved to the bungalow Jincheng bought outside and became his concubine."

Shen Xiuwan's beautiful, clear, apricot eyes turned red and moist in an instant.

She knew that Jincheng usually spent a lot of money and supported many female stars, actresses, and social butterflies, but it was all due to novelty, and none of them lasted long.

But he treats Liu Manling differently. Liu Manling has been following him for half a year.

Now, she has passed the clear path and has become a concubine recognized by her mother-in-law.

Normally, she could comfort herself that Jincheng didn't go home because he was busy with government affairs, and it was just a show of flirting with women outside, but it was different now. Now a woman officially stood up and became his concubine.

She was to share a husband with this woman.

Shen Xiuwan knew that many men have been like this since ancient times. Even her father relied on his status as the owner of an embroidery studio to raise a concubine outside.

But when she encountered this kind of thing, it was still difficult for her to accept it.

She thought she was not a virtuous woman, and she was unwilling to share her husband with others. Shen Xiuwan endured her sadness and grievance and clenched her hands tightly to prevent herself from crying on the spot.

Mrs. Fu was not here to discuss this matter with her, so she didn't care whether she agreed or not.

She warned Liu Manling: "Although you have become a concubine, you must not indulge yourself with Jincheng's support, let alone bully Xiuwan."

Liu Manling suppressed her pride and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, I have a very good relationship with the third young lady."

After she left, Mrs. Fu took a sip of tea.

She didn't understand what Shen Xiuwan had to feel wronged about. She was wronged that her excellent son married such an unworthy country woman.

She said: "You don't have to be aggrieved. I asked her to be a concubine for Jincheng, but I just used her belly to get a son for you. The son she gives birth to in the future will naturally be brought back to you and raised by your side, and he will be called your mother." "

Shen Xiuwan secretly thought, how could the son born to his concubine be the same as his own?

But she didn't dare to talk back, so she pretended to thank Mrs. Fu, got up and left the living room.

It's very lively downstairs.

Usually when General Fu is at home, the Fu Mansion strictly prohibits gambling, drinking and other activities that lead to boredom. But now that he has gone to the Northeast, Mrs. Fu is not busy, so the banquet hall is full of people playing cards, dancing and drinking. , everyone was drunk and having a great time.

Shen Xiuwan stood on the stairs and saw Liu Manling walking through the crowd and heading straight to Jincheng who was playing cards in the corner, probably because she wanted to tell his aunt.

Jin Chengdao will be very happy, right?
  She quietly left in disappointment.

Shen Xiuwan walked through the garden and came to the horse-drawn building where she watched the theater during the day.

It happened to be a spring rain, and the raindrops hit the banana leaves in a steady patter.

Shen Xiuwan hurriedly walked into the corridor to take shelter from the rain. Just as she wiped the water droplets off her face, someone else hurried in carrying a lantern.

It's Bai Yuanjing.

Their eyes met, and each other was a little surprised.

Bai Yuanjing was the first to speak: "Why don't the Third Madam go to the banquet hall to play?"

The hustle and bustle of the day disappeared from the Zouma Tower, with only the lantern held in Bai Yuanjing's hand emitting light. The stage and pavilions were all hidden in the dim rain curtain. The windows upstairs were open, because they could not see. Knowing the darkness inside the window, the spring night seemed a bit cold and eerie.

It was the first time for Shen Xiuwan to be alone with a man in such a situation.

She was so panicked that she didn't dare to look at Bai Yuanjing and whispered, "I'm not used to such excitement."

After a pause, she felt that she should also greet the other party.

So she said: "Why doesn't Mr. Bai accompany Miss Xue?"

"She doesn't need my company, and I don't like to be in the bustle." Bai Yuanjing was not as restrained as Shen Xiuwan, and spoke openly and openly, "Having said that, I often thought in the past, someone like Jincheng has a higher vision." Even the young lady of the Xue family doesn't look down on such a top-notch man. I never thought of what kind of wife I would marry in the future..."

Shen Xiuwan smiled sadly and laughed at herself: "I didn't expect that I would marry a girl from the countryside like me."
