Chapter 513: The "Frustrated" Young Marquis in a World of Female Dominance

With scars all over his face, Wei Shimu's mind drifted back to many years ago as he listened to the villagers' discussions.

At that time, he was the eldest son of the Wei family, the most powerful official in the Dali Temple.

At that time, the almighty Queen Lu Liluo was still his confirmed fiancée, and her heart and eyes were filled with only him, Wei Shimu.

If, if he had not been obsessed with marrying the Second Princess that day, but had successfully married the young Marquis Lu, then today, the position of the Emperor's husband, envied by the whole world, would be occupied by him, Wei Shimu.

And this Princess Royal, praised by the world and the future ruler of the world, will also call him Father...

His mind was wandering, and the topic of conversation over there had unconsciously turned to him.

"Hey, that guy over there,"

A man glanced at Wei Shimu, lowered his voice, and whispered to the people next to him: "Did you hear last night? It seems that the Jiang family is making a fuss again, and they are screaming so miserably~"

"No,"

The person next to him continued:

"That noise was so loud, like a cat in heat. It was so creepy, it was hard to pretend not to hear it. Oh~ Just now when I passed by, I stole a peek at that person. His arms and thighs were covered in wounds. How pitiful!"

"What's there to be pitied about? Not necessarily in my opinion."

An old man curled his lips in disapproval:

"You young people are ignorant, but some couples just like this tune!"

"Impossible?" The young man didn't believe it.

"How can you fight like this? I think those injuries on his body are not fake."

"So what?"

The old man was mysterious:

"You only saw injuries on the body of this Wei, how do you know if the woman from the Jiang family is injured? You don't even think about the physique of his wife..."

"If this Wei guy really had a hard life, how could he have grown so fat?"

“Hey, this is true.”

After this reminder, everyone suddenly understood.

Although Dongchi State had a bumper harvest in the past two years, it was still rare for ordinary people to grow up to the size of Wei Shimu. This was enough to show that he actually lived quite well.

The wife of that family was indeed weak, so if they really started fighting, it would be hard to say who would win.

These gossips drifted into Wei Shimu's ears, and in anger, he couldn't help but increase the strength of beating the clothes.

Those people were right. It was indeed Jiang Qiushui who screamed last night. It was just that the Jiang family mistook him for them. However, the injuries on his body were definitely inflicted by the Jiang family.

There were actually quite a few members of the Jiang family who were driven out that year.

In addition to Luo Chengdong and his divorced father, Jiang Tianming also had four concubines, three young servants, two unmarried sons and one daughter.

Including Jiang Qiu Shui, there are twelve people in total.

The Jiang family was forced to make a living and moved to Laizigou Village not far away. Luo Chengdong took charge and married his two illegitimate sons to women in the village. In exchange, the family settled down in the village smoothly.

But unlike the past when they had fine clothes and food, and servants to call at will, now the whole family was crowded in a few shabby thatched houses, and there was chaos every day.

Two of Jiang Tianming's three servants have now run away, and the remaining concubine is hugging his recently married daughter and son-in-law.

The remaining three side lords form an interest group.

Although Wei Shimu and Jiang Qiu Shui dislike each other, in order to survive, they have to stick together with Luo Chengdong and Jiang Tianming on the surface.

But Jiang Tianming, Luo Chengdong, and Jiang Qiushui all secretly disliked Wei Shimu. They would beat or scold him for anything. At night, Wei Shimu would take revenge on Jiang Qiushui.

Yes, as their bodies have grown in size, the couple's nighttime interactions have completely reversed.

But this does not prevent Wei Shimu from being weak in the Jiang family during the day.

Wei Shimu angrily pounded the clothes in his hands, then casually put the clothes into the basket, picked it up and walked to a dilapidated courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

With a creak, the gate was pushed open.

Luo Chengdong was heating up some rice in the kitchen, feeling irritated by the smoke and fire. He looked over when he heard a sound and saw Wei Shimu coming back. He picked up a firewood stick.

"You lazy thing! I just asked you to go wash some clothes in the river, but you took so long."

While cursing loudly, he beat Wei Shimu hard in the face.

It was obvious that the action was done smoothly.

At the same time, the window of the east room in the courtyard was pushed open. While Zhang Cejun was eating melon seeds, he said to Wu Cejun and Li Cejun beside him:

"Oh my, my two brothers, look at how Lord Luo Zheng disciplines his son-in-law. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, this is something we concubines can't learn."

Zhang Cejun's son married the youngest daughter of the village chief's younger brother, and it was because of this that the Jiang family gained a foothold in the village. With his son secretly helping him from time to time, Zhang Cejun now has the easiest life in the Jiang family.

Wu Cejun reached out and took a handful of melon seeds from Zhang Cejun's hand, and echoed:

"Isn't that so? It's a pity that our general likes Luo Zhengjun, a scoundrel. Otherwise, since we were both concubines, he would have been favored and promoted to the position of the legitimate heir!"

Li Cejun also said sarcastically:

"Then we must say that our general had the foresight to know that one day his whole family would end up living in the countryside..."

Zhang Cejun heard this and said, "If anyone has foresight, isn't it the one who divorced earlier in our mansion?"

Upon hearing this, the three side lords fell silent.

Yes, in the end, they were all unlucky, with their children following them, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to. But Father Jiang, although he was not loved by Jiang Tianming, he did have a good daughter.

Divorce early and escape with the dowry.

It was said that Jiang Xinyue's official rank was now higher than that of a general. Unfortunately, they were not allowed to enter the city, so they could not get close to her even if they wanted to.

Luo Chengdong's anger grew even stronger after hearing the words of the others, and he hit Wei Shimu with even more force. Wei Shimu couldn't bear the pain and had to dodge desperately.

It was so painful that I explained in a low voice:

"Father, you misunderstood. I really wasn't lazy. I just had too much laundry. I came back right after I finished washing it..."

"How dare you talk back,"

When Luo Chengdong heard this, his anger grew:

"If you weren't lazy, how could you have grown so fat? I think you just went out to eat. Tell me! Did you hook up with some strange woman out there?"

He put one hand on his waist, pointed at Wei Shimu and cursed:

"Humph, you've been married to our Jiang family for six years, and you've wasted three fertility fruits, but you can't even lay an egg. Tell me, what's the point of my daughter marrying a useless man like you?"

Wei Shimu had been beaten and scolded so many times over the years that he had actually become numb to it.

But at this moment, perhaps because the words of the men by the river had just touched a nerve, he suddenly didn't want to endure it anymore. Wei Shimu suddenly turned around, snatched the stick from Luo Chengdong's hand, and threw it aside.

Luo Chengdong was stunned by his sudden counterattack.

Wei Shimu stared at him gloomily and said word by word:

"Why can't I lay eggs? Father, you should ask your good daughter!"
