After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

Huaihua: "Sister, you are still too naive. You have been with Luo Xie for so long, have you ever seen his wife come to see him? Did he say that she has been in the countryside and he felt it was shameful for her to give birth to a few money-losing children, so he didn't let him come to the town or the capital."

Taohua nodded and said, "Yes, he really disliked his first wife and thought she was not presentable and was very ugly."

Huaihua couldn't help but laugh when she heard the word "ugly": "Ugly, isn't he really ugly? And you still look down on me? With his looks, it's good enough that someone is willing to marry him."

"You still despise others, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself. His wife died a long time ago. He was drunk and beat her to death. She bled from all seven orifices when she died. It was a very tragic death. Because his hometown is in a very remote village, beating women to death is very normal there. In their eyes, women are just reproductive tools. Women who can give birth to sons will be treated a little better. If a woman cannot give birth to a son, she is like an animal. They can beat her or scold her as they please."

"He accidentally said it when he was drunk. He and I were the only ones there at the time. So no one else knew about it. Of course, I pretended not to know either, so he didn't think he had let the cat out of the bag."

Taohua felt uncomfortable after hearing this, "Oh my God, if he was beaten to death, wouldn't his first wife be miserable?"

Huaihua: "His five daughters were also miserable. The pretty ones were sold to rich families as concubines or to brothels. Or they were sold to cripples. As long as you are willing to pay more money, he will sell them. His five daughters have long been lost. He only likes sons. Even the daughters born to his lovers in the capital are not welcomed."

"Big sister, are you having an affair with Brother Zheng from the prefecture?"

Taohua was horrified when she heard this, and asked Huaihua tremblingly: "Huaihua, how did you know?"

Huaihua snorted coldly and said, "Do you really think that you can get to know the man from the prefectural city? That was a plot set up by Luo Xie. The man from the prefectural city has long had a crush on you. It's just that you don't know it. You don't know him, but it doesn't prevent him from getting to know you. You are just a tool for him to win him over, but you still think you are charming. You don't know that it is a plot set up by him a long time ago."

"He didn't want to force you to go, but he also wanted you to serve that kind of noble. This person has a very deep mind, so you'd better be careful in the future."

"After you go back this time, you should behave yourself as before. Don't show your true colors, otherwise, your good days will be over. Of course, if you have the ability to meet a stronger and richer man, it would be better if you can get rid of him. Don't feel sorry for the child, you gave birth to a son, and he will treat him well."

Taohua: "But I still can't let you go. After all, I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you."

Huaihua looked at her sister and said, "It's up to you. Walk your own path. As long as you don't regret it, it's fine. The two of us have no way out. We can only rely on ourselves."

"Luo Xie will not stay in the town forever. Now Mr. Wang is dead and Mrs. Wang is in such a state. Your husband is also a waste, good-looking but useless. The property of the palace may have fallen into his hands now. It won't be long before he will definitely go to the capital city, where he has a bigger secret."

Taohua said in surprise: "Little sister, how do you know so much?"

Huaihua: "It's a long story. He thought I left, but I didn't. I was eavesdropping in the next room. I wanted to know some of his secrets so I could use them as bargaining chips to negotiate with him. But I didn't use them. I'll just consider it as your reward of 500 taels."

"When he was in a brothel in the city, he had a lover. He was very generous at that time, and the girl was very willing to follow him. Later, he made the girl pregnant. However, the girl was quite pretty and scheming, so she hooked up with a scholar. Later, we learned that the scholar became a county magistrate and gave birth to a son for him. The county magistrate also had several concubines, but it was the girl who gave birth to the son. Of course, the son was not the county magistrate's. My dear sister, you should know whose son it is."

Taohua covered her mouth while listening to these words, and spoke for a long time: "If the county magistrate knew about this, he would be skinned alive."

Huaihua: "Do you think he would be afraid of someone like him? He is not afraid at all. They are still in contact with each other now."

Taohua: "She is so bold and dares to have contact with him. That concubine is really brave. She still can't forget her appearance. I feel uncomfortable for several days after seeing her. I can't eat well since I came to Wang's house. It's really hard to swallow."

Huaihua found it very funny to hear her elder sister say these words: "You have to eat even if you can't swallow it. Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry."

"It's because that concubine is too flamboyant. Everything was fine before. The two of them no longer contacted each other, but Luo Xie discovered that she was now the county magistrate's concubine and had given birth to a boy. Then when he saw the boy's appearance, he calculated the time when they were together, right?"

"Luo Xie is also very cunning. He has been using this incident as a threat to keep dating that concubine, and even paving the way for himself. Otherwise, how do you think he, a small housekeeper in the palace, can live so prosperously? I have never seen a housekeeper live better than him, and he is even almost as prosperous as the owner of the palace."

Taohua: "Didn't the county magistrate realize that the child wasn't his? After all, they don't look alike."

Huaihua looked at Taohua and said angrily, "My dear sister, why are you so focused on gossip? Is this something we should care about? No matter what their ending will be, it is not something we should care about. We should plan for ourselves now. Luo Xie will not have a good ending sooner or later."

Taohua pursed her lips and said, "I'm just very curious. Rich families care most about appearance."

Huaihua said speechlessly: "Okay, stop talking. Our focus is not on the same channel. I have told you everything I should tell you. You should take care of yourself in the future. We two sisters will be separated for the rest of our lives and will never see each other again. I also hope that you live well."

"If there's nothing else, just go. Staying too long will be bad for you."

Taohua looked at her sister and said, "Okay, I'll leave now. Take care of yourself. I hope you can find a husband who truly loves you in the future."

Taohua left after saying this.

Huaihua cried bitterly as she watched her sister walking away.
