The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 201 Qi Wan's Rebirth

After Shi Mingying lost his arm, he gave up on himself, became depressed and unable to recover. He would lose his temper from time to time and beat and scold the maids and servants.

Qi Wan broke her hair while combing it and complained. When he heard the word "broken", he suddenly rushed over and grabbed her neck, questioning her with bloodshot eyes:

"Who the hell are you talking about? Are you talking about me? Do you dislike me too? Have you forgotten who earned your wealth and glory today? And who brought you out of that downtrodden Yong'an Earl's Mansion?"

Qi Wan hurried to explain.

Shi Mingying simply couldn't hear her, thinking that she was implying something towards him, so he used force with his hands and strangled Qi Wan until she fainted.

In the end, he didn't dare to strangle his wife to death, so he left her with a breath.

After Qi Wan woke up, she suffered from psychological trauma and stayed as far away from him as possible, for fear that he would suddenly go crazy and hurt her at any time.

She was no longer as considerate and gentle as before, and no longer encouraged him to cheer up.

Shi Mingying bought her a set of headgear as an apology.

He was a useless man with nothing to do. He didn't want to go out and see people or be looked at strangely. So he just stayed at home to teach his son and torment his wife and servants.

Qi Wan is just a woman in the inner house. She cannot leave the house every day, and she cannot stay out all night. Even though she is afraid of him, she can only stay with him every day.

Ever since he strangled her neck that day, she developed a resistance to him, and every night's ritual of marriage became torture.

She felt that she was being forced.

She had refused before, but if she showed any resistance, Shi Mingying would be like an angry lion, suspecting that she despised him and had someone else outside, and would then restrict her from leaving the house.

Qi Wan had no choice but to pretend to be submissive and continue to tolerate him - she had to leave the house and work hard for her sons' future and go to the Duke's Mansion to flatter the Duke of Zhenguo Shi Jimian and his wife, as well as the Crown Prince Shi Mingwu and his wife.

Her obedience did not win Shi Mingying's gentleness. Instead, Shi Mingying became more and more vicious, and his methods at night became more and more perverted.

He sent people to monitor her and watch her every move.

He even suspected that she had a crush on his elder brother Shi Mingwu, just because she and Shi Mingwu greeted each other and exchanged a few words of greeting when they met.

That night, Qi Wan saw blood.

Qi Wan couldn't bear it any longer, and the couple almost became enemies.

She continued to obey him on the surface, but secretly fed him incompatible foods and tonic foods.

After several years, Shi Mingying finally died suddenly.

During her widowhood, Qi Wan was not sad at all, but felt extremely relaxed.

But she didn't expect that Shi Mingying's ghost lingered around, and even after his death, he had taught his son bad things - Shi Yunpeng became the prince's guard at the age of seventeen, and during the spring hunt, while trying to protect the prince, he was trampled by a horse's hoof and broke one of his legs!

Shi Yunpeng was only seventeen years old, and he lost a leg in his prime years. Qi Wan's world collapsed in an instant.

When her son was carried back, she fainted three times from crying.

Why?

In order to protect Shi Mingzhu, her husband lost an arm and became a pervert for the rest of his life.

Her youngest son broke his leg while protecting Shi Mingzhu's son. What should the seventeen-year-old boy do for the rest of his life?

In order to help Shi Mingzhu make money, her eldest son became a businessman, and the official careers of his descendants were ruined!

But what can we do even if there is more resentment?

She couldn't persuade her eldest son not to go into business, nor could she persuade her youngest son not to follow his father's example and risk his life to protect others.

She was just a small woman, powerless and with her grandson's future to look after.

There are many children in the Shi family, and there is competition among them. Many children of the Shi family have made contributions to the emperor, empress, and princes, not to mention Shi Yunpeng.

They are ministers. It is their duty and honor to risk their lives to protect the king and the prince.

Just like that, the fifth branch of the Shi family fell into complete decline, and Qi Wan spent the rest of her life trying to please her parents-in-law, the sons of Shi Mingzhen and Tao Ziyi, the sons of Shi Mingzhu, and her eldest uncle's family in the Duke's Mansion, just to earn a future for her grandchildren.

Unfortunately, her flattery was actually useless.

After Shi Yuntian took over Shi Mingzhen's business, the huge fortune he earned was finally divided among Shi Mingzhu's eight sons.

To thank him, Shi Mingzhu rewarded him with a huge fortune and sent him away.

Shi Yuntian's family had completely fallen into the status of merchants, with no power or influence. In order to maintain their wealth, they could only hand over most of their property to the Duke's Mansion in the hope of seeking its protection.

Shi Yunpeng got married and had children. Qi Wan had obviously tried very hard, but she could only watch her son follow in his father's footsteps and become a frustrated pervert.

Shi Yunpeng's wife was not as tolerant as her. She directly exposed Shi Yunpeng's scandal, then divorced him, abandoned her husband and children, returned to her parents' home, and married another man a year later.

She scolded her youngest daughter-in-law for more than ten years and arranged for her youngest son to find another wife. Those from equal social status listened to her bad temper and avoided her, while those from poor social status were willing to marry her, but each had her own problems.

Finally, he married a gentle step-wife, but she was just a show-off. Her true colors were revealed after she gave birth to a son. Not only did she treat her ex-wife's children harshly, she also beat Shi Yunpeng.

The couple was like a joke, and every year during the ancestor worship ceremony they were laughed at by the entire Shi family.

Qi Wan alone struggles to maintain the dignity of this family.

In fact, her health had been poor for a long time and she was sick all year round. Unexpectedly, she lived a long life and even lived longer than Shi Mingzhu.

On the day Shi Mingzhu died, she was not sad at all. She turned her back to the sky and laughed until tears came out of her eyes.

Because Shi Yunpeng was incompetent and involved in constant scandals, his grandsons never got good official positions.

When Qi Wan died, her grandson, who had done the best, was promoted to a seventh-rank official. Someone from the Duke's Mansion said to her:

"This is because Yun Peng broke one of the prince's legs. He has been useless over the years and brought shame to the late queen."

In the end, Qi Wanren had become a little demented and many of her memories were fuzzy.

Sometimes she feels that she is only in her teens or twenties. Although her husband is a little rough, he is generally gentle. Her sons are lively, cute and smart. She still lives in the Zhenguo Mansion surrounded by flowers and splendor.

When she woke up, she and many people from the Shi family were taken to the guillotine.

She watched her sons, grandsons, great-grandsons, and female relatives being beheaded one by one.

Finally it was her turn.

The shining long sword swung down, stinging her eyes. A turbid tear flowed from her eyes. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask what happened, but it was too late to ask...

"Wan'er, Wan'er!"

Shi Mingying gently pushed his wife's shoulder.

"Wan'er, it's getting late. You should get up."

Qi Wan suddenly opened her red eyes, and tears rolled down from her eye sockets. There was both confusion and resentment in her eyes.

Shi Mingying saw her open her eyes and said with a smile: "Did you have a nightmare? You were crying in your dream. Hurry up and wash your face. Today is your grandfather's 70th birthday..."

Qi Wan suddenly saw her young husband and shrank back desperately, screaming, "Ghost, ghost! Shi Mingying, are you here to take my life?

You are the one who sought your own death for Shi Mingzhu. Why are you looking for my life? You harmed Yuntian and Yunpeng. You deserve to die! If you come looking for my life, I will kill you again!"
