Chapter 452: Horrible Scheming Man (Ancient Times) 2
The young man won the top spot in the imperial examination and became an official in the court. His potential was finally noticed by the Grand Tutor, who said that he would teach him to be a daughter of a noble family. However, the young man did not agree. He said that he had married Hua Yue in the village, and the Hua family had helped him when he was down and out. He had sworn in his heart that Hua Yue would be his only wife in this life!
As soon as these words were spoken, the young man gained the reputation of being a man who never forgot his wife.
What's more, he held a grand wedding for Hua Yuefeng half a month after he took office, and on the second day he separated from the Grand Tutor and bought a house near his residence for the Hua couple.
For a time, people all over the capital praised him for not forgetting the people who dug the water when he drank the water, and praised him for being grateful. They also felt that the Hua family had gotten a good deal, being fortunate to have met him when he was humble and having the opportunity to support him.
Finally, amid the clamor, someone sighed that the eldest son's ex-fiancée had hurriedly broken off the engagement because the Grand Tutor and his men were imprisoned, and now she is still waiting to be married, and has never found a good match.
It was not until this moment that Hua Yue heard the news about the young master's ex-fiancee. She couldn't help but wonder if the man had gone to look for his fiancée when he returned to Beijing alone. Was he asking her to marry him because she didn't want to care about him anymore? !
Perhaps Huayue herself valued this favor too much, or perhaps her love was so deep that she could not tolerate any flaws, so she found a time during dinner to ask about this matter.
When the young master heard her ask this, he immediately pursed his lips and smiled, saying that she was jealous, why was she just jealous? !
He and that woman were arranged by his parents and the matchmaker. Whether they married him or broke off the engagement was all up to the Grand Tutor, and he, a bastard, would not be allowed to refuse.
Only Huayue is what the young master truly desires!
A woman who is most in love is always stupid. A few sweet words can make her lose her mind.
At this point, Huayue happily became Mrs. Xie.
She and the young master are on equal terms.
Although she was not good at writing, she never asked anyone else to take care of the young master's food and daily life. She took care of it herself and was very meticulous in every aspect.
Although men in the feudal era married wives, no matter how high their positions were, the ultimate goal was for them to take care of themselves.
But a wife who only knows how to serve tea and water like a maid, especially Huayue who is illiterate, cannot add beauty to the family, and cannot even go out for social activities. She cannot interact with other ladies at all. This causes great trouble to Mr. Xie.
And the most fatal thing is that Huayue cannot give birth.
She has been married for three years and has been homeless.
The whole place was full of ridicule and rumors about her, and as a result, Mr. Xie was also ridiculed.
Especially after Master Xie expressed that he would not marry again even if Hua Yue was infertile for life, everyone felt that Master Xie would not have any descendants.
Many people feel that it is a pity that such a handsome man has no descendants.
Huayue also felt guilty towards him, so under the guidance of her mother, she decided to take a concubine for the young master.
So, she and Master Xie had their first argument about this matter.
The young man smashed pots and bowls to show that he would never take a concubine, and Huayue was the only one in his life!
Such infatuation and true love were praised by the outside world.
Hua Yue felt more and more guilty, and wanted to secretly arrange two maids for Master Xie. But before she could ask her mother to help her find candidates, Hua Yue's father suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away within three days.
Huayue was so grief-stricken that she no longer cared about choosing a concubine for her husband. She and her mother cried every day.
At this time, Master Xie received an order from the emperor to go to the south of the Yangtze River.
Only Huayue and her mother were at home.
They heard that in the Xiangguo Temple outside the city, they could offer eternal lamps, and those who were offered the lamps would be able to enjoy happiness in Chang'an in their next life.
Most people in ancient times were superstitious, and what's more, they had just lost their loved ones, so these emotions needed an outlet.
Hua Yue wanted to offer a lamp to her father to pray for peace of mind, so she drove out of the city with her mother.
But they encountered bandits outside the city.
Both mother and daughter died.
When Master Xie returned from Jiangnan, he only saw their broken bodies.
Master Xie buried them in great sorrow and cried till he almost fainted.
In just half a month, my hair turned completely gray.
Everyone in the court and the country admired Mr. Xie for his deep love for his wife.
Some people even wanted to take the opportunity to marry their daughters to Mr. Xie as his second wife.
Mr. Xie couldn't refuse, so he drank a bowl of infertility medicine in public to show his determination!
Up to now, this Mr. Xie is a love-struck man rarely seen in a century.
Hua Yue also believed so before she died. After her death, she missed Master Xie so much that she floated back home. In Master Xie's study, she saw a woman with broken limbs, who had been given a mute drug and was locked on a couch.
Only then did she realize that her husband, who slept in the same bed with her, the man who seemed so perfect to outsiders, was actually a pervert behind her back!
Hua Yue followed Master Xie in soul form for many days and had close contact with him. Only then did she realize that it was because she, the Xie herself, was infertile!
His roots were injured on the way to exile. Although he can be used, he cannot produce offspring.

The reason why he married Huayue was exactly as Huayue herself had guessed. He originally returned to Beijing to find his fiancée, but no one paid attention to him and his fiancée's family was unwilling to help him.
He had no choice but to go find Huayue.
First, he wanted to use the Hua family's meager strength to climb up, and second, Hua Yue's family background was not good, so even if something happened in the future, he could still control it.
For example, he gave Hua Yue a sterilizing drug, but he was the one who decided whether it was right or wrong, and the Hua family did not have the power to fight against him.
He was the one who killed Huayue's father.
Because he hated the fact that Huayue took the initiative to take a concubine for him.
He felt that Huayue had been spoiled by him over the years and that he had given Huayue too many benefits, which made Huayue unable to distinguish the primary from the secondary.
If you let her lose her father, she can feel the pain and won’t have the time to meddle in other people’s affairs!
But the death of Huayue and his mother had nothing to do with him. He had not yet had the time to deal with them, but he never thought that they would kill themselves. This was truly a relief to everyone!
Mr. Xie was a cautious person. For the sake of a good reputation, he stayed up all night for more than ten days, drank some medicine that was harmful to his body, deliberately made his hair gray, and pretended to be heartbroken.
Even though he felt happy later, he only hid in the secret room and whispered to the mute woman.
To the outside world, he is still the Lord Xie who is deeply affectionate towards his deceased wife.
Also, because he had no offspring, the emperor trusted him more than others.
After all, he has no family and no descendants, so he is more suitable to be a loyal minister!
Master Xie lived a very glorious life, even rising to the position of prime minister. After his death, the new emperor posthumously conferred him a title, wrote him into the history books, and praised him over and over again!
