It's hard to be a stepmother, my disabled husband takes care of my child

He once had all kinds of unrealistic fantasies about Su Man, until he discovered the relationship between Su Man and Fu Xiu, and then he put those thoughts behind his mind.

Now that he thinks about it carefully, it’s a good thing that he withdrew in time, otherwise it would have been an empty fantasy in the end, because someone like Su Man would never like him.

And he absolutely had no way to control a woman like Su Man.

"Just come if you want to, it's not a big deal."

Su Man pretended to be nonchalant when she spoke, but in fact she wanted Wei Yan to stop continuing this topic.

Because if she continued to say that, she didn't know how Fu Xiu would look at her.

Although... ahem... everyone knew the reason why she came here, she would still feel a little embarrassed if it was said openly.

However, I don’t know whether Wei Yan didn’t understand or did it on purpose, but he actually brought up the topic again.

"It's really not a big deal, but you are so awesome. You dare to pursue love so bravely for Fu Xiu. Does this count as traveling thousands of miles to pursue your husband? Hey, hey, hey... just talk, why did you hit me!"

Originally Wei Yan was teasing Su Man with a smile, but then Su Man, who was so angry, kicked him in the calf, causing him to scream in pain.

Su Man looked at him with a fake smile and said fiercely,

"If you keep talking nonsense, next time I'll kick you in the head instead of your calves!"

Wei Yan swallowed his saliva. He had no doubt that Su Man dared to do this, because Su Man was a scary woman.

He looked at Fu Xiu who was standing silently beside him and said with some dissatisfaction,

"Fu Xiu, I am your brother since childhood, right? Are you just going to watch your wife treat me like this?"

Fu Xiu glanced at him with indifferent eyes.

"My wife is the head of my family."

Wei Yan was shocked!!!

Su Man subconsciously curled the corners of her mouth, but quickly suppressed it.

Ahem... we can’t let Fu Xiu see this, otherwise this man will be so proud of himself.

"Okay, okay! I can't argue with you two! Humph!"

Wei Yan said this with a look of grievance on his face, but what he was thinking in his heart was that he had to find a wife as soon as possible, otherwise these two people would bully him as a lonely man.

Su Man didn't say anything, but just looked at him with a smile.

At this time, Shopkeeper Fu also stepped forward and looked at Su Man with a smile and emotion.

"Ma'am, it's been a while since we last met. Are you okay?"

"Uncle Fu, long time no see. I'm fine. How about you? Are you okay?"

Su Man had a good impression of Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu said cheerfully, "Okay, okay, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Madam."

"Uncle Fu, you don't have to call me Madam, just call me like before."

"How can that be possible? There was no other way before, so I had to inconvenience you, Madam. But now that you are back, Madam must call you. This is the rule. Otherwise, how will I discipline the people in the mansion in the future?"

Uncle Fu still had a smile on his face, but what he said made Su Man unable to refute.

Yes, people here take rules very seriously, and there are some things that she can't interfere with, otherwise it will bring trouble to Fu Xiu.

"Okay, Uncle Fu, you can do whatever you want."

Uncle Fu's smile deepened.

"Madam, are you free now? I have asked someone to prepare the fabric for the wedding dress. Would you like to see what kind of fabric you want?"

Uncle Fu's words made Su Man stunned.

"Wedding...dress?" She understood the two words, but she didn't quite understand the meaning.

"Yes, it's to make a wedding dress for you, my lady." Uncle Fu smiled and looked very happy.

Su Man's face froze slightly. She suddenly thought of something and looked fiercely at Fu Xiu beside her.

"What did Uncle Fu mean by that? What does the wedding dress mean?"

She was a little unhappy because she didn't know about this in advance, and she had never thought about getting married, marrying a man.

Even though the target was Fu Xiu, she was not mentally prepared.

Perhaps it was because the unhappiness on her face was too obvious, so Wei Yan and Uncle Fu's expressions paused slightly.

They thought the lady already knew it, but she still didn't know it. This made them a little scared. Could she have said something wrong just now?

Fu Xiu felt a little guilty at this time, so he just glanced at Wei Yan and Uncle Fu.

"You two should go ahead and do what needs to be done."

Wei Yan and Uncle Fu nodded quickly in agreement, but before leaving, they still glanced at Su Man, who looked unhappy.

Fu Xiu looked at Su Man and said softly,

"Let's go talk in the room first, okay?"

Su Man was angry, but she had not lost her mind. This was still in the front hall, with so many servants and maids coming and going, it was easy for her to overhear words that should not be heard.

Although Fu Xiu said that these people could be trusted, she also understood that no mistakes could be made at this time, so she could only walk towards the room with a cold face.

What she called a room, of course, was for her and her two children.

The two children are studying in their study now, so there is no need to worry about them knowing.

Fu Xiu looked at the angry Su Man, his eyes full of helplessness.

He didn't expect that before he had the chance to explain everything to Su Man, Su Man already knew about this.

After arriving in the room, Su Man sat down on the stool and looked at Fu Xiu with a cold face.

Fu Xiu picked up the teapot and teacup from the table and poured a glass of water for Su Man.

"Drink some water first to moisten your throat."

Su Man was so angry that she almost laughed when she saw the teacup handed over by Fu Xiu.

"Is it time to drink water now? What's going on? Shouldn't you give me some explanation first? You actually asked someone to prepare my wedding dress for me. Who do you think I am?"

"I treat you as my wife, the mistress of the general's mansion." Fu Xiuye ​​answered directly.

His directness also made Su Man stunned for a moment, but she was still very angry.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Fu Xiu sat down on the chair next to her and continued to explain to Su Man in a soft voice.

"Originally I wanted to tell you about this, but Uncle Fu told you before I could. I'm sorry, can you forgive me?"

General Fu, who was high above everyone else, did not show any hesitation or embarrassment when apologizing to Su Man.

Su Man was startled and looked at him. When she saw his guilty look, the anger in her heart seemed to dissipate a little.

"I need an explanation. No matter what, you should have told me in advance, or asked for my consent before letting people prepare the wedding dress, right? Isn't it a bit disrespectful to me for you to act first and ask for my consent later?"

She didn't know why she was so obsessed with this. Perhaps it was due to the living environment she grew up in. Her mother always told her over and over again that men could not be trusted.

She gradually felt that men were unreliable, especially when she found out that she actually fell in love with Fu Xiu. She went through a struggle between herself and herself for a long time before she finally made up her mind to face this relationship.

But now she hasn't completely gotten used to the fact that she likes Fu Xiu, and she's going to get married suddenly. She's really not mentally prepared at all, and is even a little panicked, so she cares so much and is so angry.

Fu Xiu simply held her hand and comforted her.

"I know I was wrong this time, but don't be angry. Give me a chance to explain, okay?"

Su Man pursed her lips and said nothing, but her meaning was very clear. She was indeed giving Fu Xiu a chance to explain.

A hint of smile appeared on Fu Xiu's face, knowing that Su Man was not completely angry, otherwise she would not have given him the chance to explain.

"That day, Luo Yun asked me a question. He said that if I really wanted to protect you, I could have sent you away again without anyone noticing on the night you came over. But do you know how I answered at that time?"

He looked at Su Man, his eyes filled with tenderness and smiles.

Su Man pursed her lips again.

"I say, you have come a long way, regardless of the danger, to be with me. If I send you away again, how can I be worthy of your willingness? I also understand that if I send you away again, we will really have no future. Right?"

He was waiting for Su Man's answer.

Su Man actually didn't want to answer, but Fu Xiu's eyes were too focused and too overbearing, as if he forced her to answer.

"Yeah." She hummed softly, "You are indeed right. If you dared to send me away at that time, I would definitely fly away and never come back."

She was calmer now. If she wanted to explain, she should explain it well. She was so angry just now because she was too angry or too nervous.

"So I understand you, right?" Fu Xiu asked again.

Su Man looked away, a little afraid to look Fu Xiu in the face, because she still didn't dare to give Fu Xiu a real answer.

Fu Xiu chuckled and continued,

"I was with you at that time. You came all the way here. How can I be worthy of you if I don't give you a real status? When I was in the village, I left you a letter saying that I hope we can become real husband and wife the next time we meet."

"Su Man, I like you."

He said he liked her, yes, he liked her, and it started a long time ago.

Su Man's heart trembled violently.

Of course, she knew that Fu Xiu liked her, but this was the first time that Fu Xiu told her his information so directly.

She clearly felt how excited she was when she heard Fu Xiu say, "I love you." She couldn't ignore the sweetness that spread from the depths of her heart.

She lowered her eyes, as if thinking.

Fu Xiu held her hand and waited quietly for her answer. His seemingly calm face was actually full of tension and fear.

He was afraid that Su Man would reject him.

Su Man was indeed very confused now, and her rapidly beating heart made it impossible for her to ignore it.

Just when she was at a loss, she felt that the hand held by Fu Xiu seemed a little sticky.

She was slightly stunned. So was Fu Xiu so nervous that his palms were sweating?

Su Man, realizing this, suddenly calmed down.

Such a man would be so nervous that his palms would sweat when facing his feelings for her.

This realization made her feel completely calm. She also understood that she really liked Fu Xiu. If it was just a simple liking, she would never have come all the way here.

Even if she came, she would never stay. She would only protect the two children in secret. It was not like she couldn't do it.

Yes, she came all the way here, is it just a little bit of liking for me?

"Fu Xiu." She looked up at Fu Xiu, her face full of seriousness.

"You say." Fu Xiu also looked at her.

"Do you know what price you have to pay to like me and be in love with me?" She tilted her head, even with a smile on her face.

"I'm all ears and willing to listen." Fu Xiu answered without any hesitation.

"As for me, I don't like sharing a husband with others. I can only accept monogamy. If you want to marry me, having three wives and four concubines is absolutely impossible. Once I find out, I will kill you. I will definitely keep my word."

Although she had a smile on her face, no real news flashed in her eyes.

This is indeed something she cares about.

In ancient times, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines, but she could never accept it.

Fu Xiu looked at her in slight surprise.

When Su Man saw him like this, a hint of sarcasm appeared on her lips. As expected, all men are the same.

She moved her hand, trying to pull her wrist free, but the man not only did not let go, but held it even tighter.

"So you have been hesitating and unwilling to face my feelings just because of this?"

"What?" Su Man looked up at Fu Xiu. When she saw the man's smiling eyes, her brain short-circuited a little.

"I say, are you hesitating and struggling just because of such a small matter?"

"Such a...small thing?" Su Man repeated his words with some confusion.

"Do you know what you are talking about?" After she calmed down, she asked seriously again.

"What I just said was very serious. Don't take it lightly. I really mind it and I can't accept it at all. Do you understand what I mean? If you want to marry me, you must give up your three wives and four concubines!"

Fu Xiu couldn't help but chuckle, but he was also a little angry.

"Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes? Am I so lustful? Do I like women so much? Do you think I married you just because of those messy things?"

"W...what?" Su Man was still a little overwhelmed by Fu Xiu's words.

Especially when she saw the hidden anger on the man's face, she was even more confused.

Shouldn't she be angry? She was talking about something serious, why did the man suddenly get angry?

"Why do you say that? I married you because I love you, not because I want to marry so many women. If I really want to have three wives and four concubines, do you think you would still be the only mistress in this general's mansion?"
