Chapter 89 - The Change Caused by Marriage

Lei Wangshu looked at the list Xu Qing had given him and said gratefully, “Little Qing, thank you so much.”

“Sister Shu, don’t stand on ceremony with me.” Xu Qing recalled the meal just now and couldn’t help but say, “Sister Shu, I have some things to tell you in private. Is it convenient?”

“It’s convenient. Hubby, talk to Yanning first. We’ll talk in the bedroom.” Lei Wangshu stood up and said to Yin Shaoqing.

Yin Shaoqing and Lei Yanning naturally nodded and didn’t disturb them.

Xu Qing hurriedly went over to support Lei Wangshu. Just as the two of them went in and sat down, Xu Qing asked, “Sister Shu, do you eat so many high-calorie sweets every day?”

“Not only that, but the amount of food I eat every day is also the same. It’s because I’m too thin. My husband and parents-in-law ask me to eat more,” Lei Wangshu said helplessly. Actually, she didn’t want to eat so much, but she couldn’t refuse.

“So you know that you can’t eat too much when you’re pregnant?” Xu Qing asked again.

“Of course I know. Even my brother, Yanning, told me to eat less, but I don’t want to disappoint my husband. We’ve been husband and wife for many years before I finally became pregnant with this child…” Lei Wangshu sighed slightly.

Xu Qing pursed her lips slightly. “Sister Shu, if you’re really doing this for the sake of the child in your stomach, you can’t continue to eat like this. Otherwise, when it’s time to give birth, it’s even possible for two lives to be lost at the same time.”

Lei Wangshu’s body stiffened slightly, and her eyes flickered. In the end, she suddenly told Xu Qing about her past.

She was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital. Her family background, looks, and talent were all praised by others, and there were many people pursuing her. However, she fell in love with Yin Shaoqing, who came to the capital to do business. Her parents objected, but she couldn’t get over Yin Shaoqing. In the end, she eloped with Yin Shaoqing.

Her father was so angry that he refused to acknowledge her as his daughter. Her mother was worried about her, so she asked her brother, Lei Yanning, to look for her… Over the past two years, her mother and brother had secretly helped Yin Shaoqing. Yin Shaoqing had also used this to expand his business. Now, he could already compete with the richest merchant, the Hua family.

Gradually, Yin Shaoqing was no longer satisfied with the current situation. He wanted to replace the Hua family and Lei Yanning helped a lot. However, the Hua family had occupied the top position for many years and was a designated merchant recognized by the country. How could the Lei family topple it?

She was Yin Shaoqing’s wife and could tell that he was dissatisfied, but she had no choice but to listen to him and make him feel better. After all, she loved this man!

After hearing Lei Wangshu’s words, Xu Qing fell silent. It was obvious that Yin Shaoqing was an ambitious but incompetent man, and such a man was the most terrifying! Xu Qing couldn’t interfere in his private matters. Moreover, Lei Wangshu loved him wholeheartedly. Even if she wanted to say something, Lei Wangshu wouldn’t believe her! She could only stop there.

“Sister Shu, no matter what happens, you should still love yourself more. Moreover, you have a child now. For your own sake and for the sake of the child, you have to be yourself,” Xu Qing said meaningfully. She could tell that Lei Wangshu was a very smart woman, but when in love, once a smart woman lost her senses, that was the most terrifying situation!

Lei Wangshu’s hand that was touching her stomach stiffened slightly. She nodded silently.

Xu Qing administered acupuncture to Lei Wangshu again. Seeing that she was slowly falling asleep, Xu Qing walked out quietly.

“She’s asleep,” Xu Qing said to the others after closing the door.

Yin Shaoqing said guiltily, “Wangshu has indeed been tired these past few days.”

Xu Qing couldn’t be bothered to look at Yin Shaoqing. She smiled coldly, said something to Lei Yanning, and left with Qiao Yanhui.

Yin Shaoqing looked at Xu Qing’s back and clenched his fists. His gaze was unfriendly. This woman didn’t even look at him! How dare she ignore him?

Qiao Yanhui suddenly turned around, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his black eyes. Yin Shaoqing’s furious expression couldn’t help but freeze, and cold sweat flowed.

Along the way, Xu Qing’s mood was very gloomy. Qiao Yanhui was no longer a fool and could sense it, but he didn’t understand what she was thinking.

“Little Hui, why do you think a woman changes after she gets married? Why does marriage destroy most women beyond recognition?” Xu Qing didn’t know why she asked Qiao Yanhui. Perhaps there was really no one else to ask?

But was marriage really that scary? Would a person’s personality change after decades? Xu Qing realized that the same thing had happened in her previous world and in this world.
