The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

In Zeng Suqiu's memory, her mother died of illness.

Today, Fu Qingsu's rude beating of her scumbag father and stepmother inadvertently revealed the truth of that year - her mother did not die of illness, but... was murdered by this couple.

Today, Mrs. Zeng was born into a small aristocratic family that had long since fallen on hard times. She and Doctor Zeng were once neighbors in the same town. The two families had a fairly close relationship. The parents' generation had become godparents, and the two younger ones began to call each other cousins.

As they called each other like this, different feelings developed between the two of them, but Mrs. Zeng at that time was already engaged, and Doctor Zeng gradually revealed his talent in studying and was valued by the teacher during the provincial examination. On one side was the "cousin" with whom he had a secret crush but was engaged, and on the other side was the teacher's eldest daughter. Doctor Zeng chose the one who would help his career more without hesitation, but he often missed the "cousin" who was unilaterally abandoned in his heart.

Especially since his original wife had a noble and upright character and would not humble herself to flatter her husband with soft words. Although she managed the home in an orderly manner and had a father who could help Zeng Langzhong's career more easily, in Zeng Langzhong's view, such a wife was still imperfect. He even often felt a strange pressure from his wife who was a family heritage of poetry and literature and was well-read. In order to relieve this emotion, he began to take concubines, but even so, Zeng Langzhong still felt that something was wrong.

Until he met Mrs. Zeng again.

Only then did he realize that although he now had fame and an official position, what he still lacked was a son and a wife who was not so strong-willed, would know how to please and serve him, and would be obedient and gentle enough to satisfy his self-esteem as a man.

Mrs. Zeng is an excellent candidate.

Although she had been engaged before, the man was short-lived and died of illness before his fiancée could get married.

Mrs. Zeng, a widow, said that she would mourn for her fiancé for a year and then look for another husband. Her in-laws were moved by her sincerity and sponsored her father - an old scholar who had taken the imperial examination for decades but failed - to come to the capital with his family.

It is not known whether it was a coincidence or fate, but the two "lovers" met again. Mrs. Zeng, dressed in plain clothes, looked pitiful and gentle. Doctor Zeng felt that his young self was alive again. However, due to the power of his father-in-law's family, he and Mrs. Zeng could only communicate secretly. They confessed their love to each other without anyone's knowledge, but they accidentally caused a death in the play. Later, the play was discovered by his original wife, and the two had to temporarily stop communicating.

In the eyes of outsiders at that time, Mrs. Zeng was still a righteous woman who was taking care of her fiancé. Without the private help of Doctor Zeng, she would never dare to keep the child, and could only secretly find medicine to abort the child. Later, when she saw that Zeng Suqiu's mother was pregnant and gave birth to a girl, she placed the resentment of the unborn embryo on the mother and daughter.

However, just two years later, Zeng Suqiu's grandfather suddenly fell ill and died in office. Her adopted brother was carrying the coffin back to his hometown, but encountered a landslide on the way. The entire team, including the coffin, was buried under a thousand-foot cliff. The once prosperous official family suddenly fell into decline.

Zeng Suqiu's mother and aunt were both devastated, and the two sisters fell ill one after another. After this serious illness, one of them never opened her eyes again, and the other has been paralyzed in bed ever since.

Zeng Suqiu always thought that her mother really died of illness.

Until the couple, under the threat of Fu Qingsu's tablet, started to blame each other and asked the ghost who had taken revenge through their daughter to seek revenge on each other instead of involving themselves.

However, although these two people revealed a little bit of the unusual death of Zeng Suqiu's mother in panic, they did not reveal the whole truth. After a brief panic caused by the shock, the two regained their sanity.

Doctor Zeng was always wary of Zeng Suqiu's drastically changed temperament, but he also reminded her that he was her father and could sue her for the crime of disobedience and unfilial piety at any time. Although Fu Qingsu, who had only a vague understanding of this era, did not quite understand what he said, she was aware of the threat. After all, this body was not her own, and she had to consider the thoughts of the other soul in her body.

Seeing Fu Qingsu giving birth safely, Doctor Zeng got up from the ground, groaning and holding his belly: "You..."

He pointed at Fu Qingsu, who subconsciously slapped the tablet over. After a cry of pain, Doctor Zeng was carried away by the servants, holding his apparently broken finger. He didn't have time to say what he wanted to say to Qingsu.

Fu Qingsu shrugged easily, carrying the tablet and returned to Zeng Suqiu's yard.

As the only daughter in the family, Zeng Suqiu's yard was remote and small. The old women guarding the yard were yawning and eating melon seeds. However, the yard was relatively clean, probably because it had been cleaned not long ago.

Fu Qingsu immediately drove the servants away, found a pen and paper to write down his doubts, and then switched to Zeng Suqiu. Zeng Suqiu did not stay for too long. When Fu Qingsu took over the body again, the answer was already briefly written on the paper.

Fu Qingsu had only a few questions. The first was to ask Zeng Suqiu if she had any problem with her beating her father. The second was what she should do if she was really sued for being disobedient and unfilial. The third was to tell Zeng Suqiu that there was something fishy about her biological mother's death, and it was suspected that she was killed by the Zeng family couple...

Zeng Suqiu answered them one by one very seriously: she had no feelings for Doctor Zeng, and after knowing that her mother's death was most likely caused by him, she just wanted to thank Fu Qingsu for venting her anger; then she told Fu Qingsu that if Doctor Zeng really sued her for being disobedient and unfilial, then he, the father who raised a disobedient daughter, would not end up well, and he might even dig up what he had done in the past, so he was just making verbal threats at most at the moment, and was far from being desperate, so there was no need to worry about it.

As for the cause of death of my biological mother...perhaps I can ask Mr. Lin for help.

When she read the first few sentences, Fu Qingsu was fine. When she read the last line, she couldn't help but scratch the sole of her shoe with her toes - it was true that she liked to read novels about overbearing presidents, powerful ministers and their young wives, but that didn't mean she wanted to find a man like that and live that kind of life. It was really weird. When she traveled through time and found that she was going to get married, her first reaction was not to suspect that she was abducted, but to easily accept the plot in her mind and start to regard herself as Lin Qiao's stepmother...

While awkwardly knocking on the ground, he recalled the previous encounter with Fu Qingsu, and felt that his IQ, which was not very high to begin with, seemed to have been kidnapped by some existence and reduced in half...
