With a wealthy in-law family and the young lady's generous dowry, Li Bing felt like he was laughing so hard he'd wake up.

Li Bing took another wife, and before they knew she was not a virgin, the whole family was very happy.

Apart from Wang Wanlian, from ancient times to the present, there should be no woman who likes her husband to have other people standing by his side.

Being a concubine is one thing, but this person is also a wife of equal status, a woman who is on equal footing with her.

Look who's got the money, huh?

Therefore, Wang Wanlian's status in the family became increasingly lower and lower, and she was reduced to being almost like a maid.

In addition, she had not been able to get pregnant, and was bullied terribly.

This day marked the day Xu Qingyou and the others would go to the capital, even though the imperial examinations were still three months away.

They are also close to the capital, but they are afraid that they might be delayed on the way.

After all, the exam was a big deal, so Lu's mother went along as well.

Xu Changsheng and Li Cuilian went together as well. Xu Qingyou was planning to rent a shop there, since they had some money on hand.

Although buying a house in Beijing is impossible, making a living is still possible.

Indeed, the whole family set off for the capital in a grand procession, preparing their belongings.

On the way, Xu Qingyou made a special trip to get off the bus and buy some sesame seed cakes.

This shop's sesame seed cakes are especially delicious. Although they are simple scallion pancakes, they are very fragrant, crispy, and thin, which is why the business here is always very good.

When Xu Qingyou got off the bus to buy the goods, Lu Ziyao also got off the bus with him.

Everyone in the city knew the top scholar in the imperial examinations. The old man selling sesame cakes even jokingly said, "Even the top scholar eats sesame cakes!"

Everyone laughed.

Xu Qingyou had the sesame seed cakes wrapped up, and as she and Lu Ziyao prepared to get into the car, she saw Wang Wanlian standing to the side, dressed in thin clothes.

Xu Qingyou stopped in her tracks; she hadn't seen Wang Wanlian in a long time.

After all, that rich man's daughter is now family with her, and if they stay together, Wang Wanlian is bound to suffer a lot.

Looking at Wang Wanlian at this moment, I truly felt immense joy.

It's already winter, but she's still dressed very thinly, and her face is sallow. She's clearly in the prime of her youth, yet she looks much older than her age.

Hehe, seeing Wang Wanlian in such a bad state made her quite happy.

"Ziyao, you get in the car first!"

Xu Qingyou turned her head and glanced at Lu Ziyao.

"it is good!"

Lu Ziyao nodded, took his things, and got into the car.

Xu Qingyou then walked towards Wang Wanlian's direction.

"Don't you have a wealthy mistress in your family? Why are you dressed like this? What, are you out buying pancakes for your mistress?"

Xu Qingyou looked at her and sneered.

Wang Wanlian, who was watching Xu Qingyou from afar, already felt a sense of shame and dejection.

Now that Xu Qingyou has stood before her, that feeling is growing ever stronger.

Xu Qingyou is only a year younger than her, but now she is more beautiful than a flower, while she herself is so pathetic.

It seems that the marriage that was snatched back from her is not entirely satisfactory.

Even at this moment, Wang Wanlian was still thinking that if she hadn't fought for this marriage, would she be in the same situation as Xu Qingyou now?
