Tong stood outside the old lady's door, tears streaming down her face, which were quickly dried by the cold wind.

Tong clenched her teeth and tried to control her tear ducts.

A gust of draft blew through the hall, bringing with it snow foam that had not yet melted.

She felt that the winter in Beijing this year was surprisingly cold. The coldness penetrated her bones and penetrated her heart, liver, and lungs. It was so cold that she could not straighten her back, and her lips trembled with the cold.

This was the first time she knew Zhen Ruocheng's eyes were so tender when he looked at people.

But this look was not for her, the first wife, but for her cousin Chen Jing'er.

It turns out that she thought the reason for raising the case was because Zhen Ruocheng didn't care about her.

She thought that Zhen Ruocheng wanted to accept Chen Jing'er as an equal wife because she pitied Chen Jing'er's situation. Only when she saw Zhen Ruocheng crying and begging to Xiao Li did she realize that Zhen Ruocheng had true feelings for Chen Jing'er.

If Zhen Ruocheng took a concubine for the sake of his children, although she would not be happy, she would understand and would not embarrass the concubine.

But Chen Jinger is different, Zhen Ruocheng is attracted to her.

Mrs. Tong believed that if she hadn't had the Tong family behind her, Zhen Ruocheng would have divorced her by now.

She mentioned He Li in terms of retreat as advancement, but now she is neither advancing nor retreating.

"Mother."

Sister Zhen called Tong in confusion.

Sister Zhen didn't understand that Aunt Jing, who had always been kind, suddenly seemed to have a different attitude toward her. She was no longer willing to play with her, braid her hair, and even said bad words to her.

And not only had Aunt Jing changed, but so had her father, who started quarreling with her mother and started drinking more.

She knew that her mother had been crying all the time these days because of her father and Aunt Jing.

When Mrs. Tong heard Sister Zhen calling her, she stretched out her hand and rubbed Sister Zhen's head, feeling a twinge in her heart.

I just feel sorry for Sister Zhen.

Mrs. Tong hated Chen Jinger more and more.

When Chen Jinger first approached Zhen Ruocheng, she used Sister Zhen as a springboard.

The little maid told her before that Chen Jing'er had thoughts about Zhen Ruocheng, and she even scolded her.

Aunt Bai's family also reminded herself that she didn't take it seriously.

Now he was really slapped in the face.

During the days when he regarded Chen Jing'er as his sister, Chen Jing'er had a secret relationship with Zhen Ruocheng.

She hates Zhen Ruocheng, hates Chen Jing'er, and hates herself even more!

"Mother, please let Jing'er in."

"Even if Jing'er becomes an equal wife, she has been wronged."

……

The sight of Zhen Ruocheng lowering her body for Chen Jing'er and the voice of pleading to Xiao Li hurt Mrs. Tong.

"Okay, I agree that cousin Jing'er can come in, and I will make room for cousin Jing'er."

Mrs. Tong ordered her maid to take Sister Zhen down, and then turned around and entered the old lady's room, standing between Zhen Ruocheng and Xiao Li.

"You are also a young master from a distinguished family. Look at your spinelessness." Tong said to Zhen Ruocheng.

"Yaqin, I knew you would agree. I knew you would agree."

Zhen Ruocheng's eyes glowed.

This kind of light came to Tong for the first time, but it was because of Chen Jing'er.

Tong clenched the handkerchief tightly, her chest tightening.

"No Yaqin, let's discuss this matter later." Xiao Li did not agree with her daughter-in-law's approach. "Madam, is there any room for me to disagree with this?" Tong said with tears in her eyes.

A trace of guilt flashed across Zhen Ruocheng's face, and he said to Mrs. Tong: "You are still the eldest mistress of the Zhen Mansion, and your status remains unchanged."

With a "pop" sound, Zhen Ruocheng received a slap on the face from Mr. Tong.

"You think I'm easy to bully, don't you? When the Zhen family first married me, they had three matchmakers and six hires. Now that I'm making room for Chen Jing'er, I also have to call the family members to come. Give me a letter of divorce and I'll leave." Tong sneered. He said, "Who cares about this family, whoever wants to do it will do what the eldest mistress of the Zhen family does. I don't know that someone who stole a man's pregnancy and got pregnant has the dignity to sit firmly in the position of the eldest mistress of the Zhen family."

Chen Jing'er's eyes turned red due to "the man stealing her pregnancy", and she glanced at Zhen Ruocheng timidly.

Zhen Ruocheng's eyes were filled with distress.

Why should Tong be so aggressive?

Ever since she got married, he had always respected her. Even though she had nothing to do for many years after giving birth to Sister Zhen, he never thought about taking a concubine. He even took the initiative to push her away when the old grandmother gave him a concubine.

Why can't she tolerate cousin Jing'er.

"Yaqin, you can scold me and hit me, but you can't humiliate your cousin like this." Zhen Ruocheng looked at Tong and sent a signal of dissatisfaction.

"She can do this, so she is not afraid of being criticized." Mrs. Li defended Mrs. Tong.

Aunt Chen stood up and said, "It's my daughter's fault that we co-authored the book? Is there nothing wrong with the men in your family?"

Zhen Ruocheng said in Chen Jing'er's tearful eyes: "This is all my fault, it's me..."

The two of them broke through the bottom line when they went to the palace to send Chen Xuan'er off to the Rong Kingdom. Zhen Ruocheng drank a few more glasses of wine and went to a side hall in the Queen Mother's Palace to rest.

Chen Jinger was worried and went to take care of her.

As soon as he woke up, Chen Jing'er was in his arms.

If he had known that he should have proposed marrying his cousin as his equal wife when he first fell in love with her, instead of waiting until his cousin was pregnant before proposing this idea.

My cousin was so humiliated by Tong and her mother because of her own cowardice.

"Cousin, please stop talking." Chen Jing'er shook her head gently.

"Cousin." Chen Jing'er came to Tong's side, knelt down and said, "Cousin please help me and my cousin. As long as cousin is willing to help me, I will be willing to be my concubine."

Zhen Ruocheng and Aunt Chen said "no" at the same time.

"I have seen how sincere my cousin is to me. The reason why I wanted to be an equal wife before was because I suspected that my cousin was only interested in me temporarily. Since my cousin is so considerate to me, what does it matter if I become a wife or a concubine? ." Chen Jing'er said in a low voice.

Tong felt bored for a while.

Chen Jing'er is using retreat as an advance to force her.

With a "pop" sound, Tong gave Chen Jing'er a hard slap.

Since the man was already dissatisfied with her, she might as well go crazy for once, so Tong grabbed Chen Jing'er's hair and let out a fierce breath.

At Zhen Ruocheng's insistence, Chen Jing'er finally obtained the status of an equal wife.

Tong had given up and insisted on making peace, but Zhen Ruocheng didn't agree, and neither did Zhen Chen.

Compared with Zhen Ruocheng's acceptance of Chen Jing'er as his equal wife, Tong's proposal for divorce made the Zhen family feel even more embarrassed.

Chen Jing'er stroked her belly and saw that there was no one around the old lady. She secretly whispered in the old lady's ear: "Prince Kang asked me to take care of Shen Ning. Now that I am pregnant, I am not suitable to take care of Shen Ning. Madam, what do you think I should do?" Yes, King Kang attaches great importance to my pregnancy, old lady, guess what the reason is?"

The old lady's eyes widened, and the look she looked at Chen Jing'er's belly went from disbelief to resentment.

Chen Jing'er drank spoonfuls of bird's nest porridge. She would be entering the Zhen family's house in a few days, and she was in a good mood.

Now that the Zhen family has lost its Sacred Heart and title, how can Chen Jing'er be willing to devote herself to Zhen Ruocheng, who has lost his identity as the eldest son, as a common wife.

As early as the palace banquet to welcome the envoys of the Rong Kingdom, she had approached King Kang.

Zhen Ruocheng is just her springboard.
