However, Yuan Shen did not immediately ask any questions. Instead, he gently embraced his wife, keeping them close together.
His embrace was warm and firm, as if it could shield Tang Yu from all storms.
Then, Yuan Shen gently held his wife's hand and kissed and cuddled her cheek.
"Jiaojiao, don't be nervous. You are Shanjian's wife now, and no one can hurt you. Tell your husband what you are worried about."
Regarding the matter of Madam's mother, Yuan Shen still hasn't figured out the truth. The Tang family has kept the secret very well, and it can be said that they have destroyed all clues.
If such matters do not affect the future, there is no need to delve into them.
However, Yuan Shen felt that this secret was very important to his wife.
If he doesn't understand the truth, he might not be able to gain his wife's complete trust and reliance.
Yuan Shen disliked that superficial and respectful marital relationship; he hoped his wife would rely on him more.
Perhaps it was because the night was too dark, perhaps it was because we were caught off guard tonight, perhaps it was because we trusted and relied on each other, or perhaps it was because Yuan Shen was too gentle.
Tang Yu couldn't help but tell the other person this secret.
Chapter 13: Starry Sky 13
Tang Yu's mother was a noblewoman from a prestigious family, and she was pampered from a young age.
Because the previous dynasty had fallen and the family was gradually declining, she had no choice but to become a second wife.
However, this decline was only relative to the powerful and wealthy families. In reality, they still had no worries about food and clothing, had many servants, lived in a wealthy and luxurious environment, and had few troubles in life.
However, Li's daughter encountered a major setback in her life.
Although she did not give birth to a son, her husband had three sons from his first marriage, so as the mistress of the house, she still lived a leisurely and comfortable life.
When Tang Yu was five years old, Li's daughter unexpectedly discovered a person who looked exactly like her.
The woman was rescued from a bandit's den. It is said that she had been sold to various places and lived an extremely difficult life.
Ms. Li remembered that her mother had said that she had actually given birth to twins.
However, due to the war, one of the daughters was kidnapped by enemies and has never been found.
Therefore, Li immediately realized that this was her younger sister.
However, even after guessing the truth, Ms. Li did not dare to be careless and had to investigate thoroughly to prevent this person from being a spy.
So, the woman surnamed Li settled her younger sister in a house and then sent people to investigate her sister's life over the past few years.
In Li's original plan, after finding out the truth, she would help her sister erase the traces of the past, arrange for a foster father and mother, and let her sister return to the family safely and resume her life as a noble lady.
But perhaps due to bad luck, or perhaps due to years of suffering outside, the younger sister's personality has become distorted.
She overheard her older sister and maid talking and they said that if her past experiences were known to the world, her family would not tolerate her for fear of losing face, and she would probably lose her life.
Thus, in a fit of jealousy and madness, Li's younger sister murdered her own sister.
Then, she pretended that she had encountered bandits, was injured and recuperated for several years, and thus completely became the wife of the Tang family, erasing all traces of her past.
To avoid being exposed, she used the excuse of recuperating from her injuries to live with Tang Yu in her hometown of Qingyang for several years, while Tang Yu's father served as an official in another place, separating the couple.
And so, four or five years passed, and she was able to completely imitate the life of a noblewoman and completely replace her sister's identity.
Yuan Shen was deeply shocked to learn of this hidden story.
"So, his death three years ago wasn't due to illness?"
Tang Yu nodded subconsciously.
After she came into this body, many of her memories were vague. She knew some things at the time, but only now has she fully understood the causes and consequences.
"So, did you have a bad time later, Madam? Did that man mistreat you?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu was quite surprised, not expecting that Yuan Shen had even guessed this.
It was more than just mistreatment. According to my recollection of the past, little Tang Yu was constantly scolded and abused by that woman after losing her mother.
Tang Yu wasn't sure whether the woman was feeling guilty or genuinely disliked her sister's daughter.
She only felt that the girl in her memory was constantly suppressed and insulted when she was young, and her childhood was devoid of any happiness.
Punishment was commonplace, and going hungry was the norm. Whenever the woman found an opportunity, she would scold her.
When Tang Yu finally grew up and was about to get engaged, the woman seemed to resent that Tang Yu was able to marry into a noble and prestigious family.
Chapter 14: Starry Sky 14
Therefore, the woman deliberately created opportunities for Tang Yu to meet with other men, and that's how Gongsun Yu came to be.
Gongsun Yu was born with the appearance of a refined gentleman, with exquisite features and an otherworldly handsomeness.
However, Tang Yu was unaware that Gongsun Yu's appearance was driven by ulterior motives.
But now that Tang Yu has seen the truth of her memories, she can naturally guess why she kept running into a stranger back then.
It was clearly an opportunity that woman deliberately created.
Back then, women probably felt that it was unfair to Tang Yu to marry a man from a low-class background; they would have felt happy about it.
But everything took an unexpected turn. Tang Yu accidentally encountered her mother's former servant and learned the truth that the person beside her was not her biological mother.
So she began to investigate the past.
After the woman discovered this, she began to poison Tang Yu, intending to kill him.
Tang Yu's father eventually found out about this. In fact, the original Tang Yu died from poison, and she transmigrated into this body.
Then, the woman appeared to die of illness, but was actually secretly executed.
Tang Yu spent the past three years observing mourning in a daze, and it took him three years to get used to this ancient life.
Of course, she didn't mention Gongsun Yu in what she told Yuan Shen.
It's really not appropriate to talk about ex-lovers late at night in bed.
Even if it's a fake lover.
She simply mentioned that she had been poisoned and almost died. Upon hearing this, Yuan Shen immediately hugged his wife tightly.
"Madam has suffered."
Yuan Shen's voice was gentle and low, as if filled with endless pity.
His eyes were full of heartache as he gently stroked Tang Yu's hair.
In fact, after Tang Yuji understood what had happened to this body, he wasn't very sad.
It's just that both of them may have experienced the pain of being suppressed, so they feel a sense of sympathy for each other.
"Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined; although the past is not a pleasant memory."
But upon reflection, if what happened back then hadn't occurred, I should have been engaged and married three years ago, and I wouldn't have met you, my husband.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shen recalled the absurdity of his youth and the many things he had missed due to his overly arrogant personality.
He used to think it was a regret, but at this moment Yuan Shen felt that it was all fate.
"Jiaojiao is right, everything is just right. If she met my past self, she might hate me."
And I might not see Jiaojiao's good points either, but fate always arranges things at the right time.
Tang Yu didn't quite understand what this meant. Would she hate Yuan Shen from the past?
What was Yuan Shen's personality like in the past?
Before he could even process the question, her burning body had already embraced him tightly once more.
Yuan Shen originally only wanted a gentle kiss.
But perhaps it was because the two of them had just shared their innermost thoughts that made them closer, Tang Yu couldn't help but gently bite the man's Adam's apple.
In that instant, Yuan Shen's eyes darkened, filled with lust.
A soft sigh escaped from his lips.
"Jiaojiao..."
Yuan Shen's voice was husky and sexy, carrying a strong allure.
After saying this, Yuan Shen gently sat up and then completely embraced his little wife.
His movements were gentle yet firm, filled with boundless pity and tenderness.
This tender, loving care, and the burning heat between their skin, made Tang Yu feel an irresistible longing.
It made her want to be closer; she wanted the two of them to be entangled together intimately.
The previous affair had already exhausted his young wife, so Yuan Shen restrained himself, only thinking of leaving after a gentle kiss.
However, Tang Yu couldn't bear to let the other person leave her today. She was so anxious that she cried and longed for him.
The voice that murmured out was soft and affectionate.
"My husband, don't go..."
In an instant, Yuan Shen's heart was in complete turmoil, as if his chest were about to explode.
Her black hair was disheveled, and she seemed hesitant to speak.
Chapter 15: Starry Sky 15
As the winter weather grew colder, Tang Yu stayed indoors, completely engrossed in her hand warmer.
Ever since that night when she revealed the Tang family's secret, Tang Yu discovered that Yuan Shen would buy her new gadgets almost every day to amuse her.
Sometimes it's delicious snacks, sometimes it's exquisite jewelry, sometimes it's Shu embroidery from the south, and sometimes it's some delicate glass ornaments.
Yesterday was another precious piano.
