If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Lu Yuan had two concubines.

One was a former maidservant of Imperial Concubine Yao. It was said that she was deeply trusted by Imperial Concubine Yao and was originally intended to be betrothed to Lu Yuan as his wife, but Duke Lu disagreed.

In the end, she could only become Lu Yuan's concubine.

The other one is the sister of Lu Yuan’s former colleague. That colleague died while trying to save Lu Yuan, leaving behind his sister to depend on him.

"Lu Yuan is really a piece of shit. His brother saved him, but he didn't think about finding a good marriage for his savior's sister. Instead, he kept her as his concubine." Qu Qingli made a spitting sound.

Shen Sui'an knew that he had concubines, but he had a vague impression of them and didn't understand them.

I didn't seem to feel too much in my heart.

Just a stranger.

Even if they get married in the future, she and he will treat each other with respect.

"You can't tolerate Lu Heng's association with Miss Song, so why are you indifferent when you hear that Lu Yuan has a concubine?" Qu Qingli didn't understand.

"I knew from a young age that I would marry Lu Heng, so I care about him." In fact, it was more of resentment from the previous life.

"As for Lu Yuan, even if he has ten concubines, can I still disobey his order and not marry him?"

Shen Sui'an has thought it through thoroughly.

"As long as he gives me the dignity of a principal wife, I will naturally treat his concubine well and maintain superficial relations with him. That will be enough."

Qu Qingli felt uncomfortable listening to this: "Don't you want to spend your life with the one you love?"

Shen Sui'an chuckled, "Li'er, I won't have anyone I love anymore."

Love is not everything in life, and she doesn't need this kind of unnecessary emotion in her life.

"Don't feel sad for me, I'm not sad at all." Shen Suian said with a smile.

"This marriage is a good one."

Lu Yuan is a short-lived man. In two years, she will be able to live freely.

When the time comes, she will travel all over the mountains and rivers and watch the fireworks of the world.

It's much better than being trapped in the backyard as a resentful woman for the rest of your life.

"If Lu Yuan dares to bully you in the future, I will vent your anger for you." Qu Qingli said.

"Okay." The two of them played together.

After playing for a while, their backs were all sweaty.

"Stop making trouble. You'll sweat and have to get up and wash yourself." Shen Sui'an said with a smile, "Li'er, do you have any ideas about tonight's event?"

Qu Qingli's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were bright. "If we ignore Lu Yuan's reputation and his two concubines, you two look quite a good match standing together."

Shen Sui’an: …

"That's not what I'm asking!" She was annoyed. Who would ask about Lu Yuan?

"Why does it take so many soldiers from the Pacification Bureau to search for an ordinary thief? Don't you find it strange?"

Qu Qingli held her chin with both hands, "Yeah, that's true, and Lu Yuan came in person."

"Because we are the maternal family of the Queen and the Queen Mother, the Pacification Office pays special attention to us?"

Shen Sui'an sighed in his heart. The Qu family had long been accustomed to the days of being admired and admired by everyone. They would never have thought that one day the Qu family would suddenly fall.

So there was no defense and nothing unusual was noticed.

"That is the Pacification Office, which reports directly to the Emperor." Not to mention the Qu family, they are not afraid of any other noble family in the capital.

"Li'er, today I saw that the fugitive was not an ordinary person. How could he hide in your house so accurately? And he happened to be an old acquaintance of someone in your house? What if..."

Shen Suian glanced at Qu Qingli.

"What if this person is a spy from an enemy country? Have you thought about the consequences?"

Qu Qingli was stunned for a moment. "Even if he is a spy from an enemy country, he has already been captured by the Pacification Bureau, so he should be..."

"Are you worried about someone implicating our Qu family?"

Shen Sui'an looked at Qu Qingli with a pair of clear eyes, "Aren't you worried?"

"My cousin is the queen, and my great-aunt is the empress dowager... How could the Qu family be related to spies? Suisui, you worry too much." Qu Qingli said with a smile.

Qu Qingli takes this for granted, and I believe other people in the Qu family have the same idea.

That's why he was so easily framed in the previous life, leading to the whole family suffering.

"But the emperor has nothing to do with the Qu family." Shen Sui'an said.

"Li'er, you must be on guard against others. You must investigate your relative thoroughly and avoid involving the Qu family in the future."

Qu Qingli looked at her suspiciously, "Sui Sui, do you know something?"

Shen Sui'an thought that just a reminder like this would not alert Qu Qingli, but she couldn't say that she was reborn.

"I had a dream that was similar to what happened today. I'm afraid you've been implicated by this fugitive," Shen Sui'an said.

"That fugitive, if he is a spy, if someone wants to frame the Qu family, it will be too easy. With just a charge of treason, even the Queen and the Queen Mother will not be able to save him."

Qu Qingli's expression changed slightly, and she held Shen Sui'an's hand tightly, "It's just a dream, Sui Sui, dreams are always the opposite."

Shen Sui'an said: "Maybe it's a reminder."

"I will check tomorrow. If the fugitive is really related to the enemy country, I will tell my grandmother about it." Qu Qingli said.

"Okay." Shen Sui'an nodded slightly.

Qu Qingli pulled her to lie down and said, "Go to sleep, don't be scared by what happened today."

The two little girls talked for half the night, and when they woke up the next day, the sun was shining brightly.

Yesterday, a heavy snowfall covered Beijing in a layer of white.

Shen Sui'an and Qu Qingli discussed going ice skating in a while.

Mu Jin came in with a tense look on her face, "Miss, something happened to the Madam, and the old lady asked you to go back quickly."

"What's wrong?" Shen Sui'an's heart tightened.

"It is said that Yao Ge'er hit her in the stomach." Mu Jin said in a low voice.

Shen Sui'an suddenly stood up, immediately went to say goodbye to Madam Qu, and returned to the Shen family as quickly as possible.

On the way, I heard her maid asking her to explain what had happened.

This morning, when the wife went to pay her respects to her grandparents, Shen Mingyao was playing with his puppy Xuetuan in the courtyard. When Xuetuan saw the wife, he suddenly started howling.

He broke free from Shen Mingyao's hand and threw himself on his wife.

The snow was slippery and my wife accidentally fell down, and soon she started bleeding.

Now please ask Doctor Zhou to treat your wife.

After Shen Sui'an heard this, a surge of anger rose to his head.

It’s Shen Mingyao again.

Aunt Cheng's children were taught to be vicious and sinister.

"What was Shen Siyi doing at that time?" Shen Suian asked coldly.

"The second young lady is in the room accompanying the old lady." said the maid.

Shen Suian is only two months older than Shen Siyi. They have disliked each other since childhood. Their grandparents love Shen Suian, but Shen Jianglin only dotes on Shen Siyi.

Two years ago, when Shen Siyi learned about her marriage to the Lu family, she instigated Shen Jianglin to snatch the marriage away.

Shen Siyi has always been bothered by her status as a concubine, and always hoped that her father would make Concubine Cheng his legal wife.

Now that his wife is pregnant, he feels that this threatens their status as siblings.

He actually came up with such a despicable method to deal with his wife.

It seems that just confining Aunt Cheng to her room is not enough.
