It was already extremely hot, and when Duke Lin saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreling again, he had no intention of trying to persuade them, so he found an excuse and left.

The noise became so outrageous that Lin Kai's head hurt so much that he slapped Su Yao in the face, and only then did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law calm down.

"Lin Kai, you actually hit me!" Su Yao came back to her senses and looked at Lin Kai in disbelief.

Su Yao no longer liked Lin Kai as much as before. She only felt regret and resentment in her heart. This nobleman with a jade-like appearance was actually a cold-blooded devil.

Half a month after getting married, Lin Kai became more and more impatient with her and didn't even smile at her.

What’s even more hateful is that he hasn’t touched her once since the wedding night until now, which has lasted for more than a month. Her mother-in-law dislikes her even more because she hasn’t gotten pregnant yet.

Su Yao knew that Lin Kai thought she was dirty, but she gave her first time to Lin Kai. Why did Lin Kai despise her?

"I hit you to wake you up. She is my mother, your mother-in-law. As a daughter-in-law, how can you talk back to your mother-in-law like this?" Lin Kai felt annoyed just by looking at Su Yao.

The woman in front of me, who is also infertile, has a beautiful face but a stupid brain. I don’t know how she got the reputation of being both beautiful and talented in the past.

Su Yao covered her beaten cheek, tears welled up in her eyes, and the grievance and anger in her heart surged like a tide.

She bit her lip and said in a trembling voice, "Lin Kai, you've gone too far. I have never made any mistakes since I married into the Lin family. I have always been careful and cautious, but you have always despised and scolded me."

Lin Kai frowned, his eyes full of disgust: "How dare you talk back? If you didn't know etiquette and quarreled with your mother, why would I hit you? Since you have married into the Lin family, you should abide by the rules of being a good woman and respect your elders."

Su Yao sneered: "Woman's virtue? Respect elders? What about you? Have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a husband? Since we got married, you have ignored me and been extremely indifferent. Now you beat me for your mother. Have you ever thought about how I feel? "

Lady Lin snorted coldly, "What nonsense! You said Kai'er is so indifferent to you?

Then let me ask you, whose clothes are you wearing? Whose jewelry are you wearing on your head? Are you hungry or thirsty?

Also, aren't the food and water you gave to your parents yesterday from our Lin Guogong Mansion? It's better to raise a dog than someone like you, you are such an ungrateful person who can't even have cubs."

Su Yao listened to the accusations and insults of Lady Lin, and her grief and anger became stronger. She widened her eyes and tears slid down her cheeks.

"Mother, how can you say that to me? I have been in this mansion for more than a month, and I have served you and the prince wholeheartedly without any second thoughts. I sent some of the food and water because I thought about my parents' suffering during these difficult times.

As for not being able to have children, how can I decide this? He has never touched me since the night of our wedding, so how can I have a child? "Su Yao's voice trembled with endless grievances.

Lin Kai waved his hand impatiently: "Enough, stop talking. I don't want to hear your complaints. If you don't repent, don't blame me for being rude.

And now that the drought is so severe, you can no longer give the Su family food and water without my permission and that of my parents."

Su Yao looked at Lin Kai's ruthless look, and the last glimmer of hope in her heart was shattered. She turned and ran back to her room, closed the door, and burst into tears.

The new maid was indeed not well-educated since childhood. When she saw Su Yao crying like that, she was so scared that she just watched from the side and dared not say a word.

Su Yao cried as she recalled her smooth past, her heart filled with regret.

She regretted being deceived by Lin Kai's appearance and identity, and hated Su Yue for setting up a trap for her to have such a relationship with Lin Kai and had to marry Lin Kai. Now, she has suffered a lot of grievances in the Lin family, but has nowhere to complain.

As for the Su family, Su Yao would not tell anyone, because her dignity would not allow her to go back to her parents' home to complain, and she also did not want to be laughed at by her brothers and sisters.

After beating Su Yao, Lin Kai did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. He felt that Su Yao was just a nuisance, an existence that annoyed him. He decided not to care about Su Yao anymore and let her fend for herself.

When Lady Lin saw Lin Kai was about to leave, she stopped him and said, "Son, it's very hot outside. You have to take good care of yourself and don't get a heat stroke."

Lin Kai nodded slightly, his expression softened a little: "Don't worry, mother. I will be careful." After that, he left without looking back.

Another month of extreme heat passed, and the world seemed to be shrouded in an endless furnace. The sky was sunny and clear all the time, but the earth was cracked by the sun, the rivers dried up, the crops withered, and the whole world fell into an unprecedented disaster.

The people were suffering terribly, and there was despair everywhere. As the days passed, hunger and despair gradually made people lose their minds.

At the beginning, I could still pick some wild grass, leaves and soil to fill my stomach, but now not only are there no leaves, there are no wild grass either, and even the soil is so dry that it is difficult to swallow.

The extremely hungry people had no choice but to eat two-legged sheep. Once this started, such tragedies began to happen again and again.

Gradually, horrific scenes and the strange smell of barbecue could be seen everywhere.

In front of the gate of the building where Su Yue lived, there was a group of people in tattered clothes and skinny bodies blocking the gate.

This group of people had just arrived here and discovered the tower. When they discovered the tower, their eyes lit up with excitement.

Such a tower was too safe for them, and they could smell the fragrance of rice coming from inside the tower, so they knew there must be food inside.

In front of the gate of the tower, the skinny people had crazy desires in their eyes. They stared at the tower tightly, as if it was their last straw.

As soon as Liu Danan discovered this group of people, he immediately went to tell Su Yue. Su Yue did not panic after learning about it. She asked the people on duty today to wear bows and crossbows, and to shoot arrows to drive them away if they found any bad movements from those people.

The group began to shout loudly, asking the people in the tower for food and water. Their voices were hoarse and desperate, full of the desire to survive.

"Please, give us something to eat! We are starving to death!"

Liu Danan, who was watching from the fifth floor, felt sorry for what happened, but he also knew that he couldn't easily open the door of the tower, because the girl said that in this chaotic period, kindness could bring fatal consequences.

"We don't have any extra food, you guys should go somewhere else!" Liu Danan shouted through the window.

When the group of people saw that someone was paying attention to them, they shouted even louder and more crazily. They didn't care about the heat of the iron gate with their dirty hands and just banged on it and shouted, demanding that they be given something to eat and drink.
