The second wife was very sweet

Chapter 1

###Chapter1

The day after autumn was exceptionally bleak.

The wedding candle was lit in the new room. Under the dim candlelight, there was a Zhang Xiu face with Shen Yunwei skin like Xin Li. She sat uneasily on the edge of the bed. Her tender and white fingers were twisted in a place. Hearing footsteps, her heart trembled. She shrank back in fear. When she looked up, she saw a tall and heroic man leading a boy in from outside. His facial features were deep his sharp eyebrows were like cold stars, and there was a scar about an inch in the corner of his eyes. It made him look even more fierce and frightening.

This man was Shen Yunwei new husband. He was Qin Shizhong. This man was 13 years older than Shen Yunwei, and he also had a son who had just reached the age of four by his side. Shen Yunwei marrying him this time was to be his house-fill and his son's wife.

Seeing the father and son in front of her, Shen Yunwei her eyelashes were trembling violently, she hurriedly shifted her gaze away. When she thought of her marriage, she couldn' t help feeling a little upset.

Originally, she had contracted a marriage with the Wang Scholar of the neighboring village. As soon as the marriage was over, she would marry into the neighboring village and become a scholar's wife. However, what was known was that something had happened a month ago, causing Wang Scholar to withdraw this marriage.

That day, Shen Yunwei went to the river to wash her clothes as usual, but accidentally fell into the water. She happened Qin Shizhong pass by and jumped into the river to save her life. At that time, there were many women who had come to wash clothes by the river. Dozens of pairs of eyes watched helplessly as the Qin Shizhong took the Shen Yunwei out of the river. Both of them were wet. Summer clothes were already thin and light, especially Shen Yunwei. The girl's exquisite curves were exposed and curled up in the man's arms. Due to fear, she even hugged the Qin Shizhong's neck and buried her body in the man's arms. That scene made many unmarried girls blush.

That day, rumors spread out from the Xiushui Village like wings.

Everyone said that the Qin Shizhong was hugging and hugging Shen Yunwei in the river, and they completely touched the young lady's body. A few long-tongued women added oil and vinegar to their conversation, and the rumors spread to Wang Scholar ears. They only made the scholar feel that he had suffered a great humiliation, and immediately sent the matchmaker to withdraw from this family.

The woman had always been regarded as a disgrace by her husband's annulment. Shen Family she received the news, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Especially Shen's Mom, she was only crying at home, causing trouble. Not only did she not give any thanks to Qin Shizhong for saving her daughter, she even blamed him for ruining her daughter's reputation. Now, Shen Yunwei her husband's annulment had even made everyone in the village know that she had a widower who cut firewood in the river. Who else could she marry? Who else would want her?

Shen Yunwei I' d once thought that if Qin Shizhong hadn' t saved me at that time, I would' ve probably died a long time ago, yet he' d saved my life, yet he' d also destroyed her reputation. Then, to a woman, was it because her reputation was important or her life was important?

Shen Yunwei she couldn' t say it clearly, she only remembered that she had Qin Shizhong saved her in the cold river. She was so afraid that she didn' t even look at it. She grabbed onto the Qin Shizhong like she was holding onto a life-saving straw. Until Qin Shizhong carried her ashore, she was still in a daze. She didn' t even know that she had hugged the man's body.

A faint blush appeared on Shen Yunwei face when she thought of what had happened that day. She lowered her head and revealed an extremely gentle curve on her chin. In this village, Shen Yunwei were all well-known beauties. Otherwise, those who had read tens of thousands of books wouldn' t have looked at her with a single glance. Such a beauty, even if she couldn' t marry a scholar, she should marry a handsome young man with a strong family background. How could one feel good about marrying a woodcutter and becoming his house-filler?

Shen Yunwei knew that after his marriage had been annulled by the Wang Family, no one in the Eight Mile Village was willing to marry a woman whose marriage had been annulled by his husband's family. In the end, it was his father who took the lead and found a matchmaker to give her to Qin Shizhong.

Shen's Mom had originally refused, but he only scolded Shen's Father because he was secretly eating pig oil. He also scolded that Qin Shizhong was a toad that wanted to eat swan meat. Shen's Father had been warm for his entire life, but he became angry over this matter. He shouted at Shen's Mom," If someone saves the girl's life, then the girl should marry him!"

Seeing that the prospective son-in-law had changed from a famous scholar in the Eight Mile Village to a poor widower with a child, Shen's Mom could not accept it. However, no matter how much she objected, Shen's Father was determined to marry her daughter. Shen's Mom was so angry that she became ill. Even Shen Yunwei married, she did not get up from bed.

Fortunately, Qin Shizhong was a virtuous person. He did not neglect Shen Yunwei because of what had happened earlier. Perhaps he himself knew that he had ruined Shen Yunwei marriage, so he had almost taken out his family's wealth when he offered the betrothal. It could be said that he had given Shen Family some Face and comfort.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunwei felt that it might be as his father had said. This was her life. Since Qin Shizhong had saved her, she should have followed him. Regardless of whether he was a woodcutter or a widower, she should be his daughter-in-law and the empress of his child.

Qin Shizhong looked at the woman in front of him and understood in his heart that it was indeed a grievance for such a delicate and pretty little girl to marry him. That day, when she fell into the river and the situation was urgent, it was impossible for him to think about it. He jumped into the river to save her. However, he did not know that because of his rescue, it actually ruined her reputation and saved him a wife.

If he had known earlier... A trace of a bitter smile appeared in Qin Shizhong's heart. Even if he knew what was happening right now and asked himself, he would still jump into the river, and he couldn' t just watch her drown in the river.

"Are you hungry?" Qin Shizhong opened his mouth and said the first sentence to his daughter-in-law.

He didn' t have the rough and unpleasant sounds he imagined, and his voice was unexpectedly low and pleasant to the ear. Shen Yunwei had just heard him speak, she was stunned in her heart. She raised her head in confusion, and she saw that his eyes weren' t as cold as they normally were. Instead, they revealed a trace of gentleness.

Shen Yunwei had been tormented for a whole day. Naturally, she was hungry. However, in front of her new husband, how could she have the nerve to say that?

Qin Shizhong saw through her thoughts. He didn' t say anything. Instead, he brought the food and placed it on the table. He spat out a few words with Shen Yunwei," Come and eat."

Shen Yunwei raised his eyes and saw the little boy snuggle up to Qin Shizhong side. The child held the corner of his father's clothes in one hand, but his eyes looked at him with curiosity.

Shen Yunwei knew that this child was called Qin Zian. This year, he had just reached the age of four. Since he was Qin Shizhong son, he would also be...... Her stepfather.

She was only sixteen years old. When she thought about how she had such a big child overnight, Shen Yunwei felt a little apprehensive. She only looked at me with Qin Zian, and I looked at you. Neither of them said a word.

"Father, who is she?" Qin Zian raised his head and glanced at his father.

###Chapter2

Qin Shizhong coarse palm touched the child's hair. He glanced at Shen Yunwei and whispered to his son," She's mother."

When Qin Zian heard his father's words, his eyes lit up. This child had no mother since he was young. Listening to the word "mother" only made the child's eyes filled with excitement and cautiousness. He said timidly to his father," Father, do I have a mother?"

Qin Shizhong nodded slightly and said to the child," Yes, Zi An also has a mother."

The child's face turned red with joy. He looked at his father. With his father's encouragement, the child finally let go of his father's hand and carefully walked in front of the Shen Yunwei. This child's body was probably not good, and he didn' t have the care of his mother. His face was yellow and thin, and his large and thin head looked like a bean sprout. Compared to his tall father, he was simply not a Qin Shizhong child.

"Mother..." Qin Zian looked at the Shen Yunwei and seemed to have summoned up her courage. She shouted this word with Shen Yunwei. The child's voice was glutinous and filled with milk. Hearing it in Shen Yunwei ears, it made her heart soft for no reason.

Although she and Qin Zian were unfamiliar with each other, since he had called out his mother, Shen Yunwei only felt that even for this' mother', he had to take good care of him.

She replied in a very low voice. Qin Zian heard her voice, he was extremely happy. He raised his head to look at his father, as if he was saying that I have a mother.

"Call mother over for dinner." Qin Shizhong said.

"Yes, father." Qin Zian voice was very clear. The child stretched out his little hand to grab the corner of Shen Yunwei's clothes. He Shen Yunwei down his shyness and walked with the child to the table. He saw that there were cakes, porridge, and two other side dishes on the table.

Qin Shizhong picked up a piece of cake and handed it to the Shen Yunwei. Shen Yunwei couldn' t help but raise his head to look at him. The two of them looked at each other and saw that Qin Shizhong eyes were deep and dark. Under his gaze, he couldn' t help but feel a little lost in thought. When the man spoke, he said to her," Eat."

Shen Yunwei snapped back to her senses, and her heart couldn' t help but quicken. She covered her eyes and took the cake from the man's hand. When she looked at Qin Shizhong father and son, she saw that both of them had picked up the rice porridge and started to eat it.

Shen Yunwei bit on the cake, but from the corner of her eyes, she quietly sized up the father and son. What surprised her was that although the father and son ate extremely quickly, they did not make a single sound. It was fine for adults. It was rare for that four-year-old child to not even make a sound when drinking rice porridge. It was quite different from the children in the village.

Qin Shizhong noticed her gaze, he stopped his chopsticks and looked at his little bride." What?"

Shen Yunwei was slightly startled, and she sensed that Qin Shizhong was looking at her. The candlelight reflected his black eyes, and it only caused Shen Yunwei heart to panic for no reason. She stammered and said," No...... "Nothing."

Qin Shizhong didn' t make things difficult for her either. Seeing the fear in her eyes, the man remembered that the scar on his face was much larger than hers, so he fell silent.

After eating, before Shen Yunwei could reach out to clean up the dishes, Qin Shizhong already picked up the bowl and brought the child out of the room.

Seeing the father and son leave the bridal chamber, Shen Yunwei let out a sigh of relief. She glanced at the wedding clothes on her body. It was not good to wear them all the time. Taking advantage of the absence of the father and son, Shen Yunwei was a little nervous. After taking off the wedding clothes, she took out a regular dress from her wedding box and replaced it. Only then did her heart slowly calm down.
