The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 844 The Housekeeper's Daughter Watching the Young Master's Love (Ancient Times) 5

Su Shangwen is the second son of the Su family. He has an older brother, Su Shangxu, who is outstanding and talented, and a younger sister, Su Shangyun, who married into a wealthy family.

In comparison, he was just a playboy who enjoyed cockfighting, dog racing, eating, drinking and having fun.

His life was supposed to pass by uneventfully.

By marrying a fiancée of equal social status and relying on the wealth and property accumulated by your ancestors, you can live a worry-free life.

However, fate seemed to be particularly kind to him.

When his eldest brother was less than twenty years old, a sudden accident took his life.

And my eldest brother's fiancée, Lu Siqi, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, became a widow in the blink of an eye.

Faced with this situation, the Lu family had no choice but to discuss countermeasures with the Su family.

After some discussion, they decided to announce to the public that when the Lu family and the Su family were engaged, the object of the marriage was actually this second young master Su.

In this way, Lu Siqi was finally able to avoid being branded as a woman who brings bad luck to her husband.

So, Lu Siqi married into the Su family within a hundred days, but because the eldest son had just passed away, the two parties agreed not to become real husband and wife for three years.

Su Shangwen didn't care about all this. After all, he had already taken Chun Xing as his concubine.

Lu Siqi is one year older than Su Shangwen. She and Su Shangxu grew up together and she has always treated the second young master as her younger brother. Therefore, one month after her marriage, she discovered that he was keeping a mistress.

However, due to the face of both families, she did not make it clear to Su Shangwen. She only vaguely expressed that her wife was just to make up the number, and if he had a beloved woman to bring back, she might not be able to give him the position of the main wife.

The position of concubine can still be given.

But Su Shangwen did not have this idea, because he still cared about the reputation of the Su family and the Lu family.

It has to be said that Lu Siqi is indeed a young lady brought up in a wealthy family. Her vision and knowledge are much higher than Chun Xing's.

Seeing that Su Shangwen was incompetent in both civil and military affairs, she suggested that he use money to donate to get the title of "Yuanwailang". Although he might not have real power, his status would be recognized by the court.

Moreover, this matter was originally run by Lu Siqi's father, so it was easy to accomplish.

"Parents will all grow old one day, and when that day comes, they will no longer be there to protect you. You have to be able to stand on your own feet." Lu Siqi advised Su Shangwen, "Xiao Shangwen, I know you don't like studying, and it's too late to learn martial arts now, but you have to find a way out for yourself.

In this world, if you only have money but don’t have the ability to protect it, you will be doomed sooner or later! "

Hearing the familiar name "Xiao Wen", that was what his eldest brother often called him when he was still alive, and with Lu Siqi's earnest persuasion, he finally took out one-third of his family property and donated the title of "Yuanwailang".

Although it costs a bit more money, it is worth it.

After this incident, the two elders of the Su family felt more and more that they made the right choice to marry Lu Siqi. Although she could not have children for the time being, she would definitely be a good mistress who could bring prosperity to the Su family for three generations.

As for the child's affairs, how could they not know anything about it?

Of course it was impossible! The fact that his son and his mistress had a pair of children was almost a semi-open secret in the Su family, but no one had asked to take the children.

Lu Siqi did have this intention, but everyone else had concerns.

Su Shangwen was afraid that this matter would make his father-in-law unhappy. What if he got unhappy and took away the "Yuanwailang" position that he had just obtained and wasn't even warm to the sky?

Chun Xing thought that although she was Su Shangwen's mistress now, he had already returned her indenture contract to her, so she was a free person. Therefore, she absolutely did not want to return to the Su family and be bullied.

Moreover, for someone of her status to engage in a palace feud with Lu Siqi, who was born into an official family, would be asking for trouble. The key point is that she doesn't want her child to go back to the Su Mansion alone, at least not now. The child is still too young. What if the child doesn't recognize her as his biological mother?

The two elders of the Su family also wanted grandchildren, and would occasionally go to the outer house to see the children, but they were afraid of offending the Lu family.

Therefore, the matter of recognizing relatives was left unresolved.

However, due to the long-term fatigue of housework and the longing for her deceased lover, Lu Siqi did not live past the age of 30. She died just a few years after becoming the mistress of the Su family.

She remained a virgin until her death, and Lu Siqi became a widow for Su Shangxu in her own way.

But she was not able to be buried in the Su family's ancestral tomb as the other party's wife, which was her only regret.

Three years after Lu Siqi's death, Su Shangwen arranged an identity for Chun Xing and married her as his second wife, and the two children were able to officially recognize their ancestral roots.

Although Chun Xing was not born into a high-class family, she had received modern education and had lived in this era for many years. So after putting aside the initial "running-in period", she did an excellent job as the mistress of the house.

That's why we say Su Shangwen is a winner in life. Compared to those things that require a lifetime of hard work to obtain, almost everything he has is readily available.

And there is always someone to deal with his troubles.
