"General Zhao's first wife passed away early. In order to take care of this daughter, he followed the clan's arrangements and married a step-in-law. Hearing that the general was afraid that his step-in-law would mistreat his only daughter if he had a child, he never had sex with her. "

"Is this still happening? Wouldn't that delay the step-brother's life?"

"Yes. If the matter were so simple, the step-brother might have endured it for the rest of his life. But General Zhao met an orphan girl on the border. It is said that the orphan girl was frail and very pitiful. And she was the same as Zhao. The general’s first wife looks very similar.”

"So General Zhao accepted her?"

"That's right. General Zhao has been spending more and more time in the frontier. Although the stepmother is the official wife, she is in name only. Everyone in the city laughs at her."

Shen Yingxia nodded: "Although my concubine's status is not correct, the folk customs in the border areas are open. In addition, General Zhao is the only one who favors me, and the female queen is not here, so I should be living a happy life."

"What you said is true. General Zhao hurt the orphan girl as if she were an eyeball. Because the orphan girl didn't want to, he didn't even return to the capital, and he never paid tea to the mistress."

Shen Yingxia felt the taste and said: "What does father mean...that the stepmother took revenge on Zhao Yuening with all her hatred? Did she deliberately raise her to death?"

"Yes. It's the art of flattery. What do you think of this step-brother's behavior?" Father Shen looked into Shen Yingxia's eyes, as if he was testing them in school when he was a child.

"My daughter thinks that what this step-brother has done is to hurt the enemy by a thousand and herself by eight hundred."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

"General Zhao doted on the orphan girl so much, but he didn't ask her to leave a son and a half. Apparently it was because the first wife had a higher status in his heart, and Zhao Yuening's weight also increased.

"Although Zhao Yuening is the daughter of his original wife, he was raised by her. In General Zhao's eyes, they are one.

"If Zhao Yuening is trained to be outstanding by his successor, General Zhao will definitely focus on the capital. "But now that Zhao Yuening is domineering and has a very bad reputation, General Zhao will inevitably have something in his mind. This is pushing General Zhao towards the orphan girl.

"If General Zhao is completely disappointed, he might agree to give birth to a son and a half as an orphan. Although the step-brother is angry, it is really unwise."

"Well, that's true. But you only know one thing."

"Did the step-brother do this on purpose?"

"That's right. The stepmother originally had a sweetheart, and the two families were engaged. But General Zhao said that they wanted to continue their relationship, and the family started beating up the couple in order to keep him attached. It is said that the sweetheart committed suicide by jumping into the river on the day of the stepmother's wedding."

"There is such a thing... It's really a twist. Then maybe it's the step-in-law's wish that General Zhao doesn't sleep with him!" Shen Yingxia said with emotion.

"Yes, and these are just spread from the outside. We don't know how many twists and turns there are inside."

Household matters are extremely trivial. When an outsider looks at it, he or she will always be able to see through the lens of the situation. How can he give an objective evaluation if he has never experienced what the person involved has experienced?

As the saying goes, it’s difficult to comment without knowing the full picture.

Shen Yingxia originally planned to deal with Zhao Yuening directly, but girls who fall in love are blind.

Now it seems that General Zhao's step-in-law may be a good partner.

Suzuran is a simple and straightforward person, so she is good at asking for information. Others were not on guard against her at all.

"Young lady, I heard about it! The general's wife loves to sit on the painted boat and swim on the moat at night! Let's go squat with her!"
