The legitimate daughter of a prominent family really lived up to the expectations of the Xiahou family. Although Yun's father and brothers did not like this son-in-law, they believed that he was the husband of their beloved daughter (sister) after all, and they gave him a lot of help, both openly and secretly.

Internally, the Yun family managed the mansion in perfect order, so that Xiahou Wenyuan did not have to worry about anything.

Even the expenses of Xiahou Wenyuan's social events outside were all paid with Yun's dowry.

What’s funny is that Xiahou Wenyuan has a very strong self-esteem (vanity) and is also an expert at PuA, so every time he takes money, it’s as if Yun is begging him to use the money.

It can be said that without the Yun family’s entry into the mansion, the Loyalty and Righteousness Marquis’ Mansion would have fallen into decline long ago, and there would be no way it would be as prosperous as it is today.

She also said that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in harmony, and the husband and wife loved each other, and all of this was worth it. But she didn't know that everything was a huge lie designed for her. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

It seems that she needs to re-evaluate this relationship, for the sake of her children and herself.

It was three days later when Xiahou Wenyuan returned home.

"Yunniang, Yunniang, I'm so sorry. I should have been with you when you gave birth, but I was so busy with official duties that I couldn't get away. I hope you won't blame me."

"Yunniang, are you okay? Haha, this is the newborn little flower. She looks like you, so fair and beautiful. She will be as beautiful as Yunniang when she grows up."

Xiahou Shihua's nickname was Huahua, and Xiahou Wenyuan had learned that from the servant who delivered the message.

Without even taking off his official uniform, he rushed to Yun's bedroom and began to ask about her well-being, playing the role of a good husband and a good father.

In order to show his love as a father, he reached out and wanted to touch Shihua's fair and tender little face.

Yun had just finished breastfeeding Shihua. She was wearing a pure white headband with tufts, which added to her charm. Perhaps because of the hardship of breastfeeding herself, there was a hint of fatigue on her pretty face.

Looking at the claws reaching out, Shihua turned her head away: No, I don’t want my stinky scum dad to touch me, mother, let’s divorce, divorce, I don’t want my stinky scum dad…

When Yun heard what was on her mind, she turned around and handed the swaddling clothes that she was about to hand over to Cuizhi who was waiting beside her.

When she heard the word "divorce", she was afraid that Xiahou Wenyuan would also hear Huahua's thoughts, so she quietly observed his micro-expressions.

After seeing that the scumbag husband had no reaction and judging that he was ignorant and could not hear Huahua's thoughts, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiahou Wenyuan was a little embarrassed when he received the call, but Yun had already stood up and personally undressed him and took off his official uniform, while speaking to him in his usual gentle manner.

"My husband has worked hard for this family, working day and night without rest. Don't get too tired."

With her nose slightly raised, she could smell the faint scent of thunder and fire on him, and her hair hidden in his official hat was slightly curly.

hehe--

Yun sneered in her heart, haha, he was really struck by lightning. If she hadn't sent people to keep an eye on the movements of Tianshui Lane, she would have really believed his lies.

Just now, Nanny Zhao reported to her.

During these three days, Xiahou Wenyuan had been living in Tianshui Lane. He only went out once and went to the end of Qingzhi Lane, not far from Tianshui Lane, and rented another courtyard.

Perhaps the yard in Tianshui Lane was struck by lightning, and the noise was too loud. Xiahou Wenyuan felt unsafe and found another place to stay. In addition, although Xiahou Wenyuan was struck by lightning, the house next to him was also burned down.

Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and did not spread to other neighborhoods, but half of the courtyard was burned, making it really uninhabitable.

When they were moving, Liu Saner, the man sent by Zhao Ma, saw a big horse-drawn carriage and Xiahou Wenyuan personally got on it, supporting a beautiful young woman.

In the arms of the beautiful young woman, there was a swaddled baby, pink and tender, confirmed to be born not long ago. And she also knew the beautiful young woman, she was actually the niece of Mrs. Xiahou, Lu Meimei.

What surprised Yun the most was that her sister-in-law was among the entourage. She claimed that she had returned to her old home in Youyang to do some work and had no time to take care of her child, Xiahou Wenyan.

OK, good, that's great!!!

Nanny Zhao had been away all the time, managing the shops and farms that were part of Yun's dowry, and Liu Saner was a clerk in the silk shop.

He was a smart man and had some kung fu skills. The Yun family's farm and shops were private property and no one from the marquis's mansion was there. Therefore, Xiahou Wenyuan had no doubt that Liu Saner was a stranger to him and thought that the person who passed by him was the one who went to check on him.

The yard Xiahou Wenyuan rented this time was bigger than the one in Tianshui Lane. In order to make his mistress live happily in Qingzhi Lane, he sent gifts to the neighbors around him and said hello, "I'm busy with work, so I'd like to ask the neighbors to take care of my wife when I'm not at home."

The handsome man and pretty woman, and the loving appearance of the couple aroused the envy of the neighbors.

"Oh, I'm not tired. I just want to make achievements in my career and earn an imperial decree for Yunniang. Fortunately, I've been going around these days, and the Minister has finally shown favor to me, but..."

Xiahou Wenyuan hesitated to speak, and stole a glance at Yun's expression. Seeing that she was no different from usual, he continued helplessly.

"I don't want this to happen, but the officialdom is like this. If I don't make some arrangements..."

Under normal circumstances, upon hearing this, Yun would have rushed to comfort him, and would have taken the initiative to put the silver and money in front of him and forced him to use it.

And in order to save his face, I had to find various reasons to persuade him to accept it in a roundabout way.

But he first pretended to refuse with righteous words, saying that it was impossible to use his wife's money.

Then, under Yun's insistence, he reluctantly accepted the money.

He was very familiar with this trick and it always worked.

Yun smiled as always and carefully hung the official uniform he took off on the hanger, looking like a virtuous wife.

She straightened her official uniform to smooth out the wrinkles while giving gentle advice.

"My husband, you don't have to work too hard. Yunniang only wants to be with my husband and children, and live happily together as a family. It's too difficult to fight for a good life, and my husband is too worried. Yunniang can't bear it."

Yun's words were extremely gentle and reasonable, but she never mentioned a word about money.

Having failed to achieve his goal, Xiahou Wenyuan was embarrassed again. He chuckled twice, stroked his beautiful beard, and continued his performance.

"What Yunniang said is that as long as the family is well-organized, it's fine. I am just grateful to you for giving birth to three sons and one daughter for me. I should earn more for you to be worthy of your hard work."

Xiahou Shihua: Hehe, although this scumbag father is a scumbag, he has a sweet mouth. He clearly wants to ask mother for money to fill the hole created by the mistress. Mother, please don't be fooled by love again!

Yun teased Huahua's tender little face and thought to herself: My dear Huahua, my dear daughter, mother will no longer be the love-brained person you said. Mother has woken up.

She knew that Xiahou Wenyuan's arrangements were fake, but his luxurious support of a mistress was real.

The yard in Tianshui Lane was more than half burned, and even if they moved away, they had to compensate the owner for the loss. The owner was smart, and seeing the expressions of the two people, he concluded that there was some hidden story behind it, so he asked for a high price for compensation.

Xiahou Wenyuan didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he gritted his teeth and paid the compensation.

Afterwards, they rented a new yard, hired people to serve Lu Meimei and her daughter, upgraded their daily food and clothing, and bought some large pieces of furniture and ornaments.

All this and that costs money, and he is running low on silver.
