When Concubine Shu heard the report from the palace maid, she was so angry that she threw her chopsticks.

"I want to see her, but she will refuse me?"

The palace maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, calm down."

The Fifth Prince was also having dinner at Concubine Shu's place. He frowned and said, "This Su Qingshu is indeed from a humble family. He is a poor man who suddenly becomes rich and forgets his own limitations."

Concubine Shu drank a sip of tea, but she was still angry. She laughed and said, "Since Su Qingshu said she would come tomorrow afternoon, let her come in the afternoon. The sun is bright in the afternoon, so let her stand outside for a few hours to sober up."

While Concubine Shu and her son were talking, there was celebration in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, which had received the bone-repairing and muscle-regenerating pill from the Fifth Prince.

"The Lord is awake!"

"The Lord is awake!"

The news of the good news spread throughout the huge marquis's mansion. The wrinkles on the face of the old lady of Wu'an, who was guarding by the bedside of the marquis, finally smoothed out and she revealed a smile.

Madam Wu'anhou: "Son, you finally woke up!"

Wu Anhou's voice was hoarse and dry: "How long has your son been sleeping?"

Fu Yin: "Dad, you have been sleeping for more than a month."

Wu Anhou was stunned and looked at Fu Yin: "Why are you back?"

Fu Yin: "I heard that you were seriously injured and unconscious, so I said goodbye to my teacher and rushed over here."

Although Fu Yin was the eldest son of Marquis Wu'an, he did not join the army. Instead, he showed great talent for study since he was a child and was accepted as a disciple by a contemporary great scholar. He has been traveling and studying with the great scholar for the past three years.

Wu Anhou frowned: "Nonsense, how can you cough cough cough..."

"What are you still kneeling there for!" Wu'an Hou's wife said coldly, "Your husband has woken up, and you are like a piece of wood, not knowing how to serve tea and water?"

After Wu'an Hou's old lady scolded him, Wu'an Hou noticed that there was a haggard-faced girl kneeling beside the bed.

The girl had chapped lips, a pale face, and lingering slap marks on her cheeks. She looked very pitiful.

However, Wu Anhou only took a glance and then looked away: "Who is she?"

The old lady of Wu'an Marquis looked at Su Leyao, who was holding water with shaking arms but didn't know how to take care of others, and said with a bit of disgust: "I married you for your good fortune, but it's a pity that she is a jinx."

Wu Anhou avoided her hand and said, "Mother is confused. How can you mess up such an important matter as marriage?"

The old lady of Wu'an Marquis said: "If you like it, keep it. If you don't like it, just give it up when the time comes."

Su Leyao's already pale face turned even more bloodless: "Mother..."

"Don't call me mother!"

The old lady swung her hand and threw Su Leyao, who had been kneeling for two days and was already unable to stand steadily, out.

The teacup fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Su Leyao was half-crouching on the ground, unable to get up for a while.

Ever since she returned to the Marquis' Mansion from the Su family, she was called to the Ci'an Hall to kneel as punishment. At night, the old lady asked her to take care of her on the grounds of feeling unwell. That would have been fine, but from the next day on, she was not given a grain of rice or a drop of water on the grounds that she, as a wife, should empathize with her unconscious husband.

He knelt for two whole days, taking care of the patient at night and not eating or drinking during the day.

Even a strong man would not be able to withstand it, let alone Su Leyao who had been pampered since childhood and had a weak body.

She fainted at least three times and was woken up each time.

The first time was when water was poured on her. After she woke up, the nanny beside the old lady asked her to change her clothes and then let her continue kneeling.

The second time, she used a needle to prick the sole of her foot. The severe pain made her scream. However, the old maid said, "You must be pretending to be so full of energy. Madam, you are not sincere. You should kneel for another day."

The third time, he was slapped ten times and woke up suddenly.

From then on, she never dared to fall asleep again and managed to hold on until this moment.

But after this fall, she could never stand up again.

Su Leyao's face was swollen and full of humiliation and grievance, but she didn't even dare to cry, because she knew that if she cried at this moment, she would definitely be criticized again.

However, her ability to hold back was insufficient and her trembling shoulders were still discovered.

The old lady's smiling face suddenly darkened: "Su, what do you mean? Your husband has woken up, and you are lying there crying. Are you deliberately looking for trouble with our mansion?"

Su Leyao hurriedly shook her head, her voice hoarser than the Marquis who had slept for a month: "Daughter-in-law didn't, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law is just happy for the Marquis..."

The old lady looked at her with disgust.

Perhaps she didn't want to bring bad luck to her son on the day he woke up, so she didn't say anything else, but asked her personal maid to take care of the marquis.

Everyone in the main courtyard was busy for a while, and everyone ignored Su Leyao who was still lying on the ground and unable to get up.

The night is getting darker.

The old lady has left.

Not long after the Marquis woke up, he summoned his trusted subordinates and drove Su Leyao out of the house.

Normally, the Marquis's wife slept in the same room with the Marquis. Now that she was kicked out, no one helped her up and took her to any room to rest.

Everyone in the entire Marquis' Mansion knew that the new wife who was married in for good luck not only had no support from her maternal family, but also brought trouble to the Mansion.

She disgusted the old lady and was not liked by the Marquis.

When Su Leyao was driven out, two maids pretended to help her up.

But once he had brought her to the courtyard, he let go of her, allowing her to stagger, and left without mercy.

Su Leyao had her own pride and was unwilling to fall to the ground in front of so many servants.

But her body couldn't hold on any longer. Although she tried her best to walk to the pavilion and sit down, she finally staggered and fell beside the pavilion.

The delicate palms were cut by the stairs, and tears of humiliation and resentment also fell on the stairs.

She knew that although there seemed to be no one in the yard, there were actually people coming and going. The invisible gazes of these people were chilling and made her shiver all over.

"Maybe stand up on your own?"

A gentle voice sounded from above her head, and Su Leyao was not unfamiliar with it.

Although she was kneeling beside him with her head lowered, she could still hear what the prince of the marquisate said.

Remember his voice.

very gentle.

But from the time he entered the door to the time he left, he didn't say a word to her.

Su Leyao's nose felt sore, and the tears that fell on the steps instantly gathered into a small puddle. She felt ashamed and was reluctant to look up.

Fu Yin: "According to seniority, I should call you mother, but you and I are not much older. For your reputation, I can't help you up. I just want to tell you that there is an empty room on the left side of my father's yard. You can go there to rest."

Where to rest?

She can't walk at all, should she crawl?

Su Leyao looked up with resentment, and met the pair of eyes under the starlight that were more beautiful than the starlight, and was stunned for a moment.

"Fu Yin...Prince?"

Fu Yin had long been accustomed to the obsession and shock that women gave him. He smiled gently, "Before, due to special circumstances, I was not able to greet my mother. Your son, Fu Yin, greets your mother."
