Chu Nu’s Extra

I was born in the prestigious Hou Mansion. My grandfather is a Marquis, my grandmother is the eldest princess, and I have an eldest brother above me.

I also have several cousins. I have been a beautiful and kind-hearted woman since I was a child.

I am charitable and always help others, so in the capital city of Dongchen, many young talents want to marry me.

My grandmother helped me find a suitable family, but I fell in love with Zeng Yonghui, the eldest son of the Zeng family in Shangshu Mansion.

I was moved by his sweet words and pursuit, so I agreed to marry him.

Although my grandmother was an enlightened grandmother and respected my opinions, she still persuaded me.

He said that Zeng Yonghui is not my good match, he just takes a fancy to our family background.

I didn't believe anything I said, because I was good-looking and excelled in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

I don’t believe that there is no man who doesn’t like me, but he takes a fancy to our family background.

If you want to take a fancy to me, you must first take a fancy to my beauty, followed by my family background, so I insisted on marrying Zeng Yonghui.

My mother doesn't have any opinions. She likes anyone who I or my grandmother like.

In the first two months after we got married, I lived a very happy life. Every morning when I got up and looked at the blue sea and sky outside the window, I felt relaxed and happy.

All I know is that Zeng Yonghui treats me very well. I have no way of knowing whether he loves me or not.

But I believe from the bottom of my heart that he is the only beloved person in my life.

Three months after we got married, I became pregnant. My mother-in-law said that because I was pregnant, I could not serve my husband-in-law and had to help him take concubines.

Zeng Yonghui also agreed, and just like that, in the third month of our marriage, he took a concubine.

I don't have any objections, because my upbringing is to be a virtuous woman and not to be jealous.

I thought he loved me so much that even if he took a concubine, he wouldn't neglect me.

However, that was just me thinking that he had really neglected me, and I didn’t know why that was the case.

When Zeng Yonghui first heard the news about my pregnancy, he was so happy that he hung around me all day long.

He always greeted me when he saw me, which made me feel very sweet, but since he took a concubine.

He no longer comes to my room at night, and I have no chance to see him during the day.

I don't know if I'm irritable because of my pregnancy, or if I'm in a bad mood because of his neglect.

I used to be in good health and had a good-looking face. I gradually lost weight, my face became sallow, and my skin became saggy.

When Zeng Yonghui saw that I had lost weight and become ugly, he deliberately avoided me every day, but he also cared about my natal family.

During the day, he would eat with me. I could see that it was a torture for him to eat with me.

But I pretended not to see it, and after four months of suffering like this, I already showed that I was pregnant, but I lost ten pounds in a row.

That night, I finally couldn't help it and quietly ran to find Zeng Yonghui.

I stood at his door and was about to knock on his door when I heard an indescribable sound inside the room.

"Ke'er...you are so beautiful...my husband likes you the most."

After a long time, I heard a deep male voice coming from inside, but by the sound of the voice I knew it was Zeng Yonghui.

Such a familiar voice and such familiar words. I have often heard him say them before, but now they just changed their names.

My body trembled for a moment, and then I slowly left. I didn't dare to stay longer.

I'm afraid that I can't control myself and will do something outrageous. I have grown up comparing myself to other ladies.

The pride in my bones does not allow me to do anything rude. I am particularly afraid of seeing him with other women.

I was more afraid that I would cry in front of other women, so I turned around and left.

I ran all the way back to my own yard, closed the door, and couldn't stop the tears from flowing down my face.

That night, I couldn't sleep. I imagined the two of them being inseparable.

I imagined the two of them loving each other, and I imagined his gentle words to her.

I imagined his doting expression when talking to her, I imagined

I imagined it all night. My eyes were red and swollen, the tip of my nose was sore, and my head was swollen. I didn't fall asleep until dawn.

Early the next morning, with two dark circles under my eyes, I went to pay my respects to the old lady of the Zeng family.

"Ouch, what happened to Nu'er? Did you not sleep last night?" When the old lady saw this, she asked me with concern.

Because my grandmother is the eldest princess, Mrs. Zeng also wants to give me some thin noodles.

I forced a smile and said, "Let the ancestors worry about it. I'm fine. I just don't have enough sleep."

The old lady nodded: "Then go back and rest quickly. You are still pregnant, so don't come to say hello in the future."

I bowed and left. In the corridor, I met the second and third ladies of the Zeng family.

As well as many young ladies from the Zeng family, as well as my brothers and sisters, when they saw me, they had mocking expressions on their faces.

"Hey! Isn't this our ancestor's beloved eldest grandson-in-law? How did she become like this?"

My husband-in-law’s second uncle’s wife pretended to be surprised and asked the women around her.

Several other wives all agreed, wondering if I was jealous of Brother Hui for having a concubine.

That's why it became like this. My cheeks were burning and I forced myself to smile.

"I've met the second aunt, the third aunt, brothers and sisters, I'm leaving first."

"What's wrong? Are the dark circles under your eyes so serious? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Third uncle's wife pretended to be concerned and looked at my back and asked.

I didn't want to say anything, so I could only speed up my pace and return to my yard in dejection, letting the women of Zeng Mansion talk about me.

At the beginning, they were afraid of my grandmother, although they did not dare to gossip about me in front of me.

After seeing that I returned to my parents' home, my grandmother did not come forward to cause trouble for them, so they became emboldened.

Wherever I go I get ridiculed by women. They don't mention me by name, they just say what I say in a weird way.

My upbringing also does not allow me to quarrel with others, so everyone thinks I am a soft persimmon and wants to pinch me if they catch me.

I did not go back to complain. I chose this person myself. I chose this kind of life myself, and I have to finish it on my knees.

My grandmother thought we were happy, and she hoped that we, as husband and wife, would be in love for a long time.

It’s no wonder that my grandmother thought that way, because when she got married to my grandfather, she had not yet fallen in love with him.

In the end, the two of them were still very much in love and faced any storm together happily.

And Zeng Yonghui and I fell in love with each other before we got married, precisely because we met each other so happily.

That's why I refused to listen to my grandmother without hesitation, so that both parties would have the desire to continue getting married.

At that time, I firmly believed that as long as there is love, two people can go on lovingly.

Even if both parties will face many tests, they will rush together without hesitation.

I didn't know at that time that fate can be deep or shallow, and not all lovers can be happy for a long time.

After all, we have a deep love but a shallow love, and finally we separate, because every relationship is accompanied by invisible games.

If two people with different habits choose to live together, they will inevitably face some issues.

Different opinions arise, resulting in disagreements and contradictions.

If both parties can love each other firmly, they will be able to protect their fate.

If either party feels disappointed with the relationship at hand.

Then it is easy for invisible rifts to appear between each other, which will eventually affect the love between the two people and end up with them breaking up.

What happened next had nothing to do with feelings. I gave birth to a daughter, so my mother-in-law helped him take a concubine again.

I am completely disappointed with him, so just accept the concubine, I also have my pride.

I devoted myself to taking care of my daughter and running the Zeng Mansion. I was very busy.

He was also very busy, busy dealing with different concubines.

I turned a blind eye, closed one eye, and completely gave up on him. He was so irritated by women.

He would also come to my yard and talk to me about his feelings. Because he doesn’t love me, I can really be his confidant.

At that time, my grandfather, my father, my second uncle, and my cousins ​​all died on the battlefield.

I am in great pain and have no time for spring flowers and autumn moon. I have to go back to the Marquis Mansion frequently to comfort my grandmother and mother.

If it weren't for my grandmother's strong management of the Hou Mansion, it would have been my mother's whining character.

Our Marquis Mansion will definitely fall into the hands of my third uncle. He has been harboring evil intentions towards my mother all day long, but he is just afraid of my grandmother and does not dare to make any mistakes.

At that time, people in the Zeng Mansion did not dare to step on me because my eldest brother won the battle and was personally named the Marquis of Zhennan by the Holy Father.

He is our Dongchen’s God of War, our Dongchen’s patron saint, and also my biggest supporter.
