Chapter 110 At that time, wouldn't the second wife's family lose face?
"No, you're my husband, of course I want you to be happy. Only when you're happy can our whole family be happy," Zhao Yining explained hastily.
Her hands were twisted behind her back, causing her excruciating pain. She dared not utter a sound, fearing that she would anger Yu Kangnian and invite an even more severe beating.
"I think you just weren't paying attention. Mother has already found out that Xi'er is the daughter of Third Brother's savior, and you've been at the Third Branch's house for so many days, yet you still don't know." Yu Kangnian punched her in the back.
"No!" Zhao Yining cried out in pain, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Husband, please forgive me this time. I will definitely ask my third sister-in-law about everything tomorrow. I will find out everything about Xi'er for you."
Yu Kangnian turned her over and threw her onto the bed.
"Spare you? You won't learn your lesson unless I teach you a lesson."
He used all his strength and pinched Zhao Yining's waist hard.
"Ah!" Zhao Yining screamed in pain.
Every time Yu Kangnian hit her, he would choose a spot where no one could see him.
She had no way to defend herself.
"Shut up! Are you trying to lure people here? Are you trying to ruin my reputation?!" Yu Kangnian's expression twisted as he reached out and twisted her body hard again.
Zhao Yining covered her mouth, biting her lip hard, afraid to make a sound.
After being beaten many times, she realized that the more she made a sound, the harder Yu Kangnian would hit her.
Just pinching her wasn't enough for Yu Kangnian.
He bit her inside thigh hard until blood seeped out.
Zhao Yining was in so much pain that she gripped the blanket tightly with both hands.
Yu Kangnian pinched and bit her, tormenting her until her back was covered in cold sweat.
But because she didn't make a loud noise.
Yu Kangnian quickly grew tired of her and let her go.
Lying in bed at this moment, she was already in tears.
After venting his anger, Yu Kangnian seemed like a different person.
He hurriedly hugged Zhao Yining: "Madam, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I hurt you. Hit me, scold me."
After saying that, he grabbed Zhao Yining's hand and slapped himself in the face.
Zhao Yining could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
Yu Kangnian released her, knelt by the bed, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"My lady, please don't cry. Your tears break my heart. I admit my mistake. I'm kneeling before you. I'll do anything as long as you stop crying."
Zhao Yining just silently shed tears, unable to utter a single word.
This scene has been repeated countless times since Lie'er was born.
Every time Yu Kangnian beat her, he would apologize to her in various ways, even kneeling down.
But his good fortune didn't last long; before long, he would revert to his old ways.
She had long since stopped believing his apology.
Seeing that she still refused to speak, Yu Kangnian's eyes flashed with anger again.
He threw the handkerchief in his hand and started slapping himself across the face.
“Madam, I really know I was wrong. If you won’t forgive me, then I’ll beat you until you forgive me.”
Zhao Yining was stunned and quickly said, "Husband, I forgive you, I forgive you."
She was terrified that others would see the slap mark on Yu Kangnian's face, otherwise she would be in deep trouble and unable to clear her name.
"Really?" Yu Kangnian stopped slapping himself.
"Really." Zhao Yining nodded hurriedly.
Yu Kangnian then revealed a satisfied smile.
"That's good, I'm glad you've forgiven me. I'll apply the medicine for you, and then we'll go to sleep."
Zhao Yining nodded numbly: "Okay. I'll do whatever my husband says."
……
The next morning.
When Zhao Yining woke up, her body ached all over. When Zhezhi changed her clothes, he saw the blue and purple marks on her body and couldn't help but shed tears.
"How could you treat me like this, sir!"
"Be careful what you say," Zhao Yining reminded him in a low voice.
If Yu Kangnian were to hear this, the broken branch would surely suffer the consequences.
"I'm just so angry! You were raised with such care by your master, how could I let you suffer such injustice?" Zhezhi choked back tears.
"Alright, let's stop talking about this." Zhao Yining heard footsteps and quickly interrupted her.
"You little rascal, shouldn't you be happy that the master is good to me? Why are you crying?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Kangnian, who was carrying vegetarian steamed buns, smiled faintly.
"Oh? What are you talking about? Why is Zhezhi crying?"
"We're making a bet that you went to buy me something delicious." Zhao Yining smiled and looked at him.
"You understand me best, madam." Yu Kangnian smiled and handed her the vegetarian buns he was holding.
"Back when you weren't assigned to a different location, I remember your favorite food was the vegetarian buns from Jinmanlou. I went to buy them for you myself early this morning."
"Thank you, my husband." Zhao Yining smiled and took a bite. "It's delicious, just like the taste I remember."
"I'm glad you like it." Yu Kangnian watched her finish eating with satisfaction.
Then he patted her shoulder.
"When you go to chat with your third sister-in-law today, don't forget what I mentioned."
"Don't worry, my husband, I won't forget." Zhao Yining shuddered as she thought of what happened last night.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Yu Kangnian returned to his study.
As soon as he left, Zhao Yining couldn't stop gagging and vomited up the whole bowl of vegetarian buns.
Zhezhi was terrified and quickly brought her tea to rinse her mouth.
After she recovered, she instructed, "Clean this up quickly, and don't let my husband know about this."
Zhezhi nodded, tears welling in his eyes.
Zhao Yining took a deep breath, ordered her maid to call her two sons, and then took the whole steamer of vegetarian buns to the third house.
As soon as Zhao Yining entered the courtyard of the third house, she saw Yu Ningyao playing on the rocking horse and waved to her with a smile: "Yaoyao, look what delicious treats your second aunt brought you."
"Hello, Second Aunt, Third Brother, Seventh Brother." Yu Ningyao ran over.
"These are vegetarian buns from Jinmanlou. Take them and share them with your brothers." Zhao Yining gave her a bun and then ordered a maid to take the rest inside.
Hearing the commotion, Shen Jinzhu immediately came out to greet her.
She smiled and took Zhao Yining's arm.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yining suddenly pulled her hand back.
However, due to the large movement, his sleeves rolled up, revealing the bruises on his forearms.
"What is this...?" Shen Jinzhu looked at her in astonishment.
"I bumped into something by accident." Zhao Yining forced an awkward smile.
"Then you'd better be careful from now on, Second Sister-in-law." Shen Jinzhu saw her embarrassment but didn't expose her.
With so many marks on her arm, how could it have been from a collision?
She could vaguely see teeth marks.
"Yes. Thank you for your concern, Third Sister-in-law." Zhao Yining nodded with a smile.
She was sent by her husband to inquire about the girl named Xi'er.
However, when Shen Jinzhu accidentally bumped into the bruise on her arm, her heart was thrown into turmoil.
Will outsiders find out that her husband beat her?
Wouldn't the second wife lose face then?
