In the past, when Li Shu ran to the main courtyard to find Xu Daijun to confide in and complain because Xie Yu was misunderstood and blamed by Ning Jin, Xu Daijun would also use those words to comfort Li Shu. However, after hearing those words, Li Shu's mood would not only improve immediately, but she would also say that she absolutely believed that Brother Jin only had her in his heart.

However, today, after hearing those words, Li Shu lowered her head and said nothing. This made Xu Daijun feel not only unhappy but also a little impatient.

She came to Zhuyuan in person, but Li Shu still kept such an unyielding attitude. She really didn't know what was good for her!

Her Jin'er is one in a million in both appearance and talent, and is a well-deserved dragon and phoenix among men. If he had not married Li Shu, he would have countless concubines in the backyard and countless children. If Li Shu was a little sensible and considerate, she should have taken the initiative to tell her that she would come forward to restore Jin'er's reputation!

But despite her annoyance, her tone was still concerned and worried when she spoke again, "Shushu, is it because Jin'er said some harsh words to you in anger these past two days that you no longer believe that you are the only one in his heart?"

Li Shu concealed the coldness in her eyes and looked up at Xu Daijun in confusion. "I want to believe that I'm the only one in his heart, but his actions have made me no longer dare to believe that as firmly as before. After all, if I was still the only one in his heart, he wouldn't completely distrust me after what happened this time..."

"He was just too concerned and confused, and was deceived by the fabricated testimony of others, so..."

"Mother, there's no need to defend him, because if I were in his place, I would never trust anyone else instead of him."

"..."

Xu Daijun was speechless for a moment.

Not long after Xie Yu came to Beijing, when Jin'er had her first argument with Li Shu because of Xie Yu, she was very puzzled as to why Jin'er believed Xie Yu but not Li Shu!

But with such a close female friend by Jin'er's side, she saw the possibility that Jin'er would take more concubines and have more children in the future. So she never asked Jin'er about it, and would only comfort Li Shu when the time was right...

"The nights have been getting colder lately. Mother came to tell me about that incident so late at night. She wants me to continue to tell everyone that there is no personal relationship between Ning Jin and Xie Yu. It's just that Xie Yu's injuries from saving him haven't healed yet, so I'm being a little too nice to her, right?"

"Yes, after all, that is the truth. If we allow those rumors to spread, it will affect Jin'er's reputation and even the reputation of our Dingbei Marquis Mansion!"

Xu Daijun's mood eased somewhat because Li Shu finally took the initiative to mention speaking up for Ning Jin as she had expected.

But only for a moment.

What Li Shu said next made her face change suddenly.

"It's not necessarily true, is it? Speaking of facts... even if it's been exaggerated, what's been spreading around the capital today is all true, right? No one is making up stories to frame them, right? As for his own reputation and that of the Marquisate, if he cared, he should have acted with propriety. But ever since he brought Xie Yu back to the capital, he's completely lost the meaning of propriety. It's obvious that he doesn't care about his own reputation or that of the Marquisate. If that's the case, why should I, who he has wronged, blamed, scolded, and even forced and threatened, lie for him in front of others?"

"Li Shu! You are the apple of Jin'er's eye! His only wife! How can you, like an outsider, make malicious assumptions about him at this moment? He's just too sentimental, that's why he's so kind to Xie Yu, who risked her life to save him!"

"Mother, please calm down. I don't have any ill intentions towards him. He's just broken my heart time and time again. I honestly feel that compared to Xie Yu, I'm nothing in his eyes. Even if I continue to deny their affair in public as I did before, how many people would believe me? After all, the intimacy between him and Xie Yu in public has long surpassed that of his wife."

Although Li Shu had seen Xu Daijun's various faces in her dreams, this was the first time she had personally experienced Xu Daijun's changing expression and anger.

But she wasn't afraid.

Anyway, now that she knows the future, no matter what happens, her death will not be more miserable and tragic than the one in her dream!

She paused briefly for this reason, then continued before Xu Daijun could speak, "But since my mother has come to ask me, I naturally won't just sit there and do nothing. Once this storm has died down, I will go to the palace and ask the emperor to allow Ning Jin to take Xie Yu as his concubine."

Xu Daijun opened his eyes slightly wide in disbelief.

Li Shu actually took the initiative to mention that she wanted to help Jin'er take Xie Yu as a concubine?

Didn't she always say that she would never share her husband with anyone?

That's why the emperor told Jin'er in public before she got engaged that if he wanted to marry her, he had to give up the idea of ​​taking a concubine, which inspired Jin'er to swear in public that he wanted only her in his life!

Why did she suddenly want to take a concubine for Jin'er?

Is he afraid that Jin'er will put all her heart on Xie Yu and be completely ignored by Jin'er in the future, so he wants to show his goodwill to Jin'er, or...

As soon as another thought came to his mind, Xu Daijun subconsciously shook his head slightly.

Li Shu has been spoiled since she was a child.

But after Li Shu came into the house, she tried hard to please her mother-in-law.

She even took good care of her beloved concubines' sons and daughters.

This is enough to prove how much Li Shu cares about her Jin'er.

Therefore, it is impossible for Li Shu to be disheartened with Jin'er. She may only want to please Jin'er and that's why she wants to take a concubine for him!

Thinking of this, Xu Daijun's mood completely improved.

As expected, he is her Jin'er!

Even Li Shu, who had been spoiled and pampered since childhood, had to bow her head and compromise!

It seems that her wish for Jin'er to have many children will soon come true!

Li Shu added, "I think as long as the Emperor agrees to allow Ning Jin to take Xie Yu as his concubine, neither Ning Jin's personal reputation nor the reputation of the entire Marquisate will be affected in any way, right?"

Xu Daijun subconsciously wanted to nod.

But she held back.

Given her past attitude towards Li Shu, nodding too quickly at this time might make Li Shu suspicious.

But Li Shu lowered her head and said quietly, "By then, I'll be the only one who becomes the laughing stock of the people in the capital. After all, I just recently swore in front of everyone that there was absolutely no love between Ning Jin and Xie Yu..."

At this moment, the door was kicked open with a bang.

As the cold wind blew in, Ning Jin's voice, filled with anger and helplessness, rang out.

"I don't know how many times I've told you that there's no romantic relationship between Yu'er and me! Why don't you believe me? And! I said I'd only marry you in this life, and I'll keep it! I'll never break my promise! And I'll never change my heart!"

"..."

Li Shu turned her head and looked towards the door.

He stood at the door in a white robe, his face showing not only anger but also deep helplessness.

It seemed like there was nothing I could do about her and I was very distressed.

From childhood to adulthood, every time he had to compromise with her, he would look at her helplessly.

Although his helplessness used to be mixed with a deep doting...

But coupled with his words, she still felt a little dazed for a moment.

Shouldn't she be so quick to believe that the dream was her future?

After all, dreams are just dreams!

However, his next words brought her back to reality.
