A dream ends life

The sound of angry footsteps disturbed the silence in the room, and Su Ci slowly opened his eyes.

Yu Luohan was looking at her with a sullen expression. She slowly sat up and straightened her clothes.

"When did my husband come back? How come no one informed me? I'm sorry."

Yu Luohan had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with emotion: "Madam is already virtuous enough, why bother about these things."

Su Ci smiled slightly and did not respond, which was also a disguised agreement with his words.

Yu Luohan's anger was ignited again, and he gritted his teeth and said, "My wife is so virtuous. Was the maid in the study arranged by Madam?"

Su Ci's smile faded slightly, with helplessness and bitterness on her lips: "My husband, didn't you realize that the girl was Coral from the old lady's courtyard? The old lady said that I couldn't serve you in my current state, so she sent her here to take care of you."

Yu Luohan was so furious just now that he didn't see clearly who it was. Now that he thought about it, it seemed to be Shanhu, and he couldn't help but frowned.

Looking at Su Ci's pale face, my heart couldn't help but soften, "Don't worry about this, I'll go talk to mother."

"But what's wrong with that girl that's not to your liking? Just ask her to change. Why should you be angry?" Su Ci said in a calm tone.

Yu Luohan pursed his lips. Such a virtuous and caring wife should be the most qualified wife. However, he always felt empty in his heart for some reason.

Su Ci was not so virtuous in the past. His mother had tried to put people in his room before, but she always rejected them without giving in.

"Ah Ci, you have changed."

Su Ci looked at him calmly: "Everything around me is changing. How can I adapt if I don't change? In the past, I could boldly reject those who coveted you, but now I don't have the qualifications."

Yu Luohan asked loudly: "How can you not be qualified? You are still my wife, you were and will be in the future!"

"What reason does a wife who cannot bear children have to refuse her husband's concubine?"

Su Ci's words, without any emotion, became a sharp blade that pierced Yu Luohan's chest, causing him to take two steps back in pain.

His eyes couldn't help but well up with tears. He had only made a mistake that one time, but he didn't expect it would cause such great harm to Su Ci. It was him who failed to protect her.

Looking at his guilty look, Su Ci felt no emotion at all. His guilt was far less than Wu Peiyi's tears.

As long as Wu Peiyi was involved, anything Su Ci had to be put on the back burner. This had already become a natural thing in Luohan's mind.

"Let's go find the poison doctor Mei for a shot. I won't let anything happen to you, Aci, believe me!" Yu Luohan said with determination and caution at the end.

"I believe that Mei Yizhin will be found." She said she believed that she would find Mei Yizhin, but she didn't say she believed him.

"My dear, Shanhu should stay in your room. The old lady is anxious to have a grandson. I am in a dilemma. I cannot have a child myself and I want to occupy you. The old lady will not tolerate me."

Yu Luohan certainly knew his mother's personality. Thinking of Su Ci's situation, he said slowly, "Just rest assured and take care of yourself. I'm here with you and won't make things difficult for you. We will have a child."

No, never again! Su Ci added secretly in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

After a few more words, Yu Luohan went to Xu's Rong'an Courtyard.

It was unknown what the mother and son said to each other, but Yu Luohan didn't look very good when he came out.

But this is not what Su Ci cares about. She just wants to take good care of her body. Only when she is in good health can she do what she wants to do. She knows this very well.

Yu Luohan didn't say anything else about Coral. He came back today to celebrate the holiday with Su Ci and didn't want to make the atmosphere too awkward.

In the evening, he accompanied Su Ci to Xu's yard, and the three of them had dinner together.

Su Ci looked at the delicacies on the table with a smile on her face. With the deliberate cooperation of the three people, the meal was very warm and harmonious.

After dinner,

Xu put down the teacup and said to Su Ci earnestly, "When Shanhu gives birth to a child, he will be registered under your name as your legitimate son. You will have someone to rely on. Han'er is a nostalgic person. Even if you are no match for him, he will not abandon you. People should know how to be content and cherish their blessings."

Yu Luohan paused while drinking tea and frowned. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on Su Ci's face, he didn't say anything in the end.

Su Ci's submissive appearance made Xu very satisfied.

"From tomorrow on, Han'er's uncle will be in charge of your shop. Although it may be a bit tiring, it is your family's business after all. Just be grateful and show more respect to him on a daily basis."

Su Ci felt sick at the way Xu spoke in such a caring tone towards the younger generation. How could she not know how much Xu despised her as a daughter-in-law?

In front of her, she always regarded herself as an old lady and never let her call her mother-in-law or mother. The same was true for Yu Luohan's uncle and aunt.

She also disdained to call her mother-in-law, so they usually got along well with each other. But now that they wanted to seize her shop and spoke in a tone of alms, it was really disgusting.

"The accounts in the shop are complicated and my uncle is busy, so I won't bother him. They are just a few small shops and I can handle them. Besides, those shops are my own assets and they are also my dowry. There is no reason to give them to others."

Xu's face changed slightly, and she looked at Yu Luohan and raised her voice: "My good intentions have been regarded as stealing someone's dowry. Han'er, what bad intentions can a mother have? I just want her to recuperate in peace and give birth to children for you as soon as possible. Listen to what she thinks of me."

Ha! On the one hand, they were robbing her shop, and on the other hand, they were stuffing people into Yu Luohan's room. If she was foolish enough to hand over the shop, she would lose both her money and her life.

"I built those shops bit by bit. Is there anything wrong with me using them as my dowry?" He was talking to Yu Luohan.

Yu Luohan said: "There is nothing wrong with it"

Then he said to Xu: "Old Madam, I have given you everything I can give you. As for the shop, forget it. It is not the property of the Grand Tutor's Mansion."

Xu snorted coldly: "You all belong to Han'er, and the shops are even more so. If you didn't have the support of the Taifu Mansion, would you be able to own those shops? You are an orphan, how can you afford it!"

"Mom!" Yu Luohan spoke out to stop her.

Xu insisted, "What did I say wrong? If you hadn't been her support, she wouldn't even be able to enter the capital. And she's ungrateful. How can such a person be worthy of being your wife? She doesn't lay eggs. It's better to divorce her early. I'll find you a suitable lady from an aristocratic family."

Yu Luo stood up suddenly, "Don't worry about our relationship, mother. I won't divorce Ah Ci. She will always be my wife."

Mrs. Xu was furious, but seeing her son's dark face, she didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. She knew her son too well, and there was really not much mother-son relationship between her and Yu Luohan.

Out of filial piety, Yu Luohan tolerates her in every way. If he has made a decision, it is not something she can change, and her words are not as powerful as those of the person in the palace.

Xu stopped making moves, and the two of them didn't stay any longer, and slowly walked towards their own courtyard.

"Aci! I won't divorce you," Yu Luohan comforted Su Ci when he saw that she was not interested.

Su Ci pulled back her thoughts and smiled at him: "I know, sir, don't worry."

Without a marriage certificate, without three matchmakers and six betrothals, and without a bridal sedan chair, what qualifications does he have to divorce her!
