Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

On New Year's Eve, Lin Fu, with her bulging belly, followed Shen Qinghe to Shen's mother's house to have New Year's Eve dinner together.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Shen Er, who had just returned from somewhere, leaning on a chair with a look of not having had a good sleep. When she saw Lin Fu coming in with her maid, she stared at the maid with naked eyes. Lin Fu, who accidentally glanced at her, immediately felt nauseous.

Shen Xiaomei was wearing new clothes and leaning against her mother. The material of her clothes was the purple gold brocade that Lin Fu gave to her mother when she first came into the family. Shen Xiaomei didn't mind the old-fashioned color and style, she thought it was very expensive and wore it with all her heart. She also wore a few gold hairpins that she had taken from Lin Fu. When she saw Lin Fu coming in, her eyes were fixed on the gold and jade necklace on her neck.

Lin Fu suppressed her anger and watched Shen's mother take out two big red envelopes from her bosom and give them to Shen Er and Shen Xiaomei affectionately.

When it was her turn, she was only handed a small red envelope, which was much worse than what the Shen siblings received at a glance.

But Shen Xiaomei smiled and said to Lin Fu: "Sister-in-law, you haven't given me the red envelope yet!"

Then he looked at Lin Fu's collar and said enviously, "This collar of sister-in-law is so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful collar in my life!"

Seeing this, Shen's mother interrupted and said, "Fu'er's necklace is very beautiful, but Fu'er is old now, it will definitely look better on your sister. Just give it to your sister as a red envelope, and let your sister broaden her horizons."

Lin Fu was furious. Seeing Shen Qinghe drinking beside her without any intention of helping her, she gritted her teeth and snorted, "There are many things I haven't seen. Have you ever seen the Queen's phoenix hairpin? Do you want me to ask for it for you to broaden your horizons?"

"You..." Shen Xiaomei's eyes turned red and she fell into Shen's mother's arms and started crying.

"A sister-in-law is like a mother, how can you talk like that? You are a young lady from a wealthy family, and you keep knocking and searching!" Mother Shen pointed at Lin Fu and scolded.

"I'm very stingy. Everything my little sister wears is mine. But you are biased, mother-in-law. You even differentiate between big and small red envelopes for the New Year!"

"My sister is young, why are you arguing with a child?" Shen's mother said sarcastically.

Shen Er smiled and took his eyes off Lin Fu's maid, and said to Lin Fu, "Sister-in-law, don't pay attention to her. This red envelope is for you. I wish you a happy new year!"

Lin Fu felt sick at his words, but she couldn't refute him, fearing that he would say something unpleasant again. She turned to look at Shen Qinghe.

But Shen Qinghe just lowered his head and ate silently, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

Lin Fu felt even more aggrieved.

Halfway through the New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Fu used the excuse of having a stomachache to go home early. Of course, she went home alone.

She exchanged glances with Shen Qinghe for a long time, but the other party did not respond.

It was snowing heavily outside the house. Lin Fu went back to her yard with a dark face and angrily walked through the snow. When she entered the house, she found only a pot of charcoal burning in the house. The temperature in the house was only slightly higher than outside.

The Shen family has no money and is particularly stingy!

Shen's mother, who was in charge of the household, said that they had never burned charcoal before, but now that life was better, they started burning charcoal in Shen's mother and Shen Qinghe's study.

The old woman was calculating. She took Shen Xiaomei to live in her room, and Shen Er stayed in the study with Shen Qinghe under the pretext of reading. Only Lin Fu lived alone in the room without charcoal.

The charcoal that Lin Fu burns in her house today is still sent to her by Lin Wan.

But Lin Fu couldn't say no, and she didn't even dare to let it burn. Thinking of this, Lin Fu became even more angry.

After waiting for a long time for Shen Qinghe to come back, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Lin Fu sitting on the couch, holding a hot water bottle in her arms and shouting at him: "You still remember to come back! This is how you treat your wife and unborn son!"

"What's wrong with me?" Shen Qinghe frowned and said unhappily.

Seeing his impatient expression, Lin Fu's eyes turned red. She said aggrievedly, "It's so cold, and there's only a pot of charcoal in my room. Do you want to freeze me to death?"

Shen Qinghe didn't think there was anything wrong and calmly sat down at the table. "Everyone, look, mother only has one basin. The servants in the mansion don't have any yet!"

Shen Qinghe didn't think there was anything wrong with not having charcoal. Hadn't he survived all these years without charcoal? It was just that Lin Fu had a rich and powerful sister, so she specially sent her charcoal.

Many of Shen's relatives had no money to burn charcoal, so they had to huddle together to keep warm in the winter. Shen Qinghe also had two uncles who were also scholars, but they did not achieve fame and taught in private schools. Their monthly salary could not even buy a cart of charcoal.

The other relatives were even poorer, so how could they afford to use charcoal?

The Shen family lived a better life because Shen's mother was frugal and Lin Fu brought a large dowry with her. It was just that the price of charcoal was really high this year, so they tried to save as much as possible.

But Lin Fu wanted everything to be good and was particular about food, drink and expenses. Shen's mother sometimes secretly gave some money to the two little children, and she would make a fuss if she found out.

Last time, he went back to his mother's house to complain about the coal issue, and his mother-in-law sent his brother-in-law to give him a lecture. He said that his sister must not be wronged and must be pampered, coaxed and praised.

What's even more outrageous is that he also talked about Shen's mother and Shen Er in a roundabout way, and mocked his younger sister for imitating others ugly people. No matter how expensive her clothes were, they couldn't hide her rustic appearance.

Shen Qinghe remembered everything in his heart. Mother Shen even cried to him for a long time because of this. Now he was no longer in the good mood when he looked at Lin Fu.

Lin Fu, on the other hand, showed no emotion at all and just made a scene with him. "The charcoal in my house now was all sent by my mother's family. What does it have to do with me if other people are too poor to use it? Why should I compare myself with them! I was born higher than them, so I should live better than them!"

"According to what you said, if my parents don't have money to send me coal, I deserve to be frozen!"

Shen Qinghe saw her condescending tone, his eyes turned cold, but his expression did not change at all. "Why are you making a fuss? Isn't this useful? Don't go too far!"

Humph! Just because you were born high, you are superior to others? If that's the case, he won't care.

Whether there is or not, he will not interfere!

Lin Fu didn't know that Lin Wan didn't have the life she has now in her previous life. Shen Qinghe also stood by and watched, and she had no help from her family either, so she could only endure.

This matter of snatching a marriage and changing one's life cannot just be about the good days that come after. Lin Fu also has to endure the hard days that come before.

Lin Fu was so angry at his indifference that she burst into tears. She yelled, "Shen Qinghe! I married you and am your legal wife. Now I am pregnant with your child. You let me live like this! Just now your mother and your sister-in-law bullied me so much, and you didn't say a word. Are you still a man?"

Shen Qinghe stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he said coldly, "My mother worked hard to raise the three of us siblings. How can we be unfilial as her children?"

After saying that, he left Lin Fu and went to the study alone, and did not come back all night.
