My husband faked his death so I could remarry, but I got involved with my crazy brother and can'

She used to have parents, but since her mother left, her so-called father has become a stranger.

Knowing that she was not favored in the Marquis's mansion, he avoided her like the plague, fearing that she might do something rash and return to embarrass them.

However, she flaunted her status as the wife of the Marquis of Shunyang in public.

She lost her family a long time ago, but now she finally has one again.

She must cherish it.

"Good child, get up quickly!"

Bai helped Qian up, her voice trembling slightly, "Once we choose an auspicious day, I will definitely announce our daughter to the world! Let everyone know that I have a wonderful daughter!"

The mother and daughter had a meal at the Marquis of Anyang's residence and did not head back until sunset.

When the Marquis of Shunyang returned, he went to Qizhu Garden, but did not see Qian Shi.

"Where is Madam?"

Normally, Madam Qian rarely goes out, let alone when she is still not at home at sunset like this.

Whenever he came to this little courtyard, there would always be that familiar figure there.

But now...

Everything is different now.

For some reason, I felt a little empty inside.

They are husband and wife after all. So what if there were some misunderstandings in the past?

It will eventually be resolved.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the eldest young lady has returned. The madam and the eldest young lady went out, and it seems they went to the Marquis of Anyang's residence," the maidservant reported respectfully.

"The Marquis of Anyang's residence? The Marquis of Anyang's wife has always been kind, but she's never been particularly close to anyone. How could she possibly be asked to go there? Haven't the two never had any relationship?"

If Madam Qian were just an ordinary mistress of the house, that would be one thing, but Madam Qian had long since given power to Concubine Feng, so how could she possibly know anything about Lady Anyang?

Could it be that Su Yingxue specially brought him there to broaden his horizons?

But she doesn't want to manage the household affairs, so what would she do in someone else's home?

Marquis Shunyang was completely baffled.

"This servant does not know; let's wait for Madam to return before discussing it."

Marquis Shunyang waved his hand: "Go and prepare some food for me, I'm hungry."

As he spoke, Marquis Shunyang sat down directly, showing no intention of leaving.

The maidservant looked on nervously: "My lord, are you waiting for Madam to return? We don't know when she will be back."

There was absolutely no intention to keep them here, and the Marquis of Shunyang's face instantly darkened: "We are husband and wife, what business is it of yours, a mere maid? Go and prepare some food for me!"

The maid was startled, quickly responded, and turned to leave.

After finishing his meal, Marquis Shunyang did not leave, but waited for Madam Qian to return at Qizhu Garden.

Mrs. Qian was in high spirits today, and Mrs. Bai was extremely enthusiastic. The two got along very well and chatted until it got dark.

Marquis Shunyang was furious that Lady Qian hadn't returned so late.

"You actually know how to come back?!"

When the Marquis of Shunyang saw Lady Qian's figure, the smile on Lady Qian's face had not yet faded.

Upon seeing Marquis Shunyang, the smile on his face instantly vanished.

The differential treatment is particularly obvious.

Marquis Shunyang never expected that he would be disliked by his own wife at his age, and his face instantly became even more gloomy.

He used to be the one who looked down on Qian Shi, so how could Qian Shi dare to treat him like this?

"Why has the Marquis come?" Madam Qian's voice was indifferent; anyone who didn't know better would think the person in front of her was a stranger.

Marquis Shunyang was shocked that Lady Qian not only disliked him but was also so cold towards him; his face turned as black as spilled ink.

"What do you mean? Am I wrong in front of my own wife? As for you, as a married woman, what have you been doing all day?!"

The Marquis of Shunyang looked on with an air of accusation, but Madam Qian's expression remained unchanged: "It's nothing, it's not that late, is it? Doesn't Your Excellency usually come home this late? Why are you interrogating me today?"

Normally, the Marquis of Shunyang wouldn't concern himself with such trivial matters, so what's going on now?

She hadn't paid any attention to her, yet he came over to nag her like an old woman, making it seem like she was really in the wrong.

But she didn't find a man, so what's wrong with that?

Could it be because I didn't watch over him?

But for the past ten years or so, she has been waiting and hoping in this courtyard, but he has never come to find her.

Now it's all good; he can come whenever he wants.

That's ridiculous.

"What do you mean? Can't I even control you? You are my wife!" Marquis Shunyang raised his voice.

This was the first time he had spoken so harshly to Madam Qian, and the first time he had shown such concern for her.

He had always been indifferent to the Qian family.

Where is it like today?

He admitted it.

He has changed somewhat.

But that was only because Qian was his wife.

Nothing else.

"I didn't say I couldn't interfere, why is Your Excellency speaking so harshly?"

Madam Qian said in a calm voice, "If the Marquis has nothing else to say, he should go back. Why stay here?"

Now, upon seeing the Marquis of Shunyang, Lady Qian felt somewhat nauseous.

It's fine in the past, but I don't know what possessed me to fall in love with a man like that.

But ever since she came to this realization, she has been living a very comfortable and carefree life.

Life is better without a man.

It's really not worth it to mistreat myself for a man all these years.

The more Ms. Qian thought about it, the more she regretted it.

When Marquis Shunyang saw that Lady Qian not only refused to explain herself but also wanted to separate from him, his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

"Qian, what's wrong with you? Fine, you won't explain yourself, but why are you trying to kick me out? This is the Marquis's residence; can't I even stay here if I want to?"

The entire Marquis's mansion regarded him as a genius.

Why does it look different now?

Anyone who didn't know better would think that this woman was the center of their world.

The Marquis of Shunyang's face was full of displeasure, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Lady Qian.

Madam Qian didn't seem to care: "This is indeed the Marquis's residence, but this is my courtyard. If the Marquis insists on staying here, I will have no choice but to move out first."

She stood up as she spoke, looking as if she was about to turn and leave.

Marquis Shunyang was so angry that he trembled all over, and his chest felt like it was burning with flames.

"Enough! Where are you going? I'm leaving! I'm leaving, isn't that enough?!"

Marquis Shunyang was furious. He walked to the door and glanced at Madam Qian again. Seeing that Madam Qian showed no intention of following him, he stopped in his tracks.

"I'm leaving? I'm really leaving?"

Mr. Qian: "..."

His response was a long silence.

Marquis Shunyang had always been pampered and had never suffered such humiliation. He immediately left, cursing and swearing.

Seeing the Marquis of Shunyang's attitude, Granny Wei's face flashed with helplessness: "Your Excellency is really something. If you had yielded earlier, things wouldn't have come to this..."

Granny Wei was well aware of her master's thoughts, and she was naturally not foolish enough to advise her master; she just felt that this relationship was a pity.

If Marquis Shunyang had known how to cherish things, things would not have come to this state.

Madam Qian's tone was resolute: "From the day he allowed that slut to swap my daughter's birth certificate, it became impossible for us to be together..."

The Duke's Mansion.

After arranging everything, Su Yingxue returned to the manor in high spirits. Just as she arrived at the courtyard gate, she saw a disgusting face.

A faint smile played on her lips, as if she had been waiting for Su Yingxue to return.

"Sister? You're finally back! If you had been any later, I would have sent people out to look for you."

"But I wonder if the young master will be angry if my sister returns home so late at night~"

"none of your business?"

Su Yingxue was in a good mood today and didn't want to pay any attention to this guy who came looking for trouble. She turned to go into the courtyard, but Su Zhirou stopped her again: "It was one thing for you to like flirting with wild men before, but now that you're married, if the young master finds out that you're not content with being alone, I'm afraid the balance between you and the young master will be broken, won't it?"
