The Empress's Revenge
#184
Liu Zixia looked at Lin Yuhua reluctantly, she squeezed Lin Yuhua's shirt to a crumple and pinched Lin Yuhua's waist making Lin Yuhua complain in pain. "What if he asks for rations? I assure you that I will not give you all that in the next four months."
Liu Zixia tried to be firm but what she showed instead made her husband even more anxious. Those who were inside the room immediately nodded, they were afraid of making Liu Zixia angry.
"Don't just nod! I want you to obey what I say." Once again Liu Zixia made her words clear.
"The groom has come!" the gentle whispers from Ling Zhi who was in charge of guarding the door made Liu Zixia's three husbands reluctant to go outside of the bridal chamber.
Towards the door they continued to turn around, especially Ye Lian who was not satisfied with Liu Zixia because the opportunity she had continued to be snatched from her. Liu Zixia stared at her husband's departure with scorn, as much as possible Liu Zixia tried to hold back the laughter that could escape at any time from her lips.
Liu Zixia who was left alone chose to sit on the bed with her hands holding the fruit she had taken from inside the room. The sweet aroma of the fruit entering her kiss made Zixia's chaotic mind calm down.
The door opened from the outside, He Yidu walked inside in pink clothes that seemed to make him become anxious. Zixia wanted to laugh but her laughter could only bear the fear of making He Yidu disappointed.
He Yidu walked towards the bed, he sat beside Liu Zixia nervously with the distance between them quite far. Liu Zixia, who knew how He Yidu was feeling, threw the fruit she had eaten into the room and held He Yidu's hand.
"Don't think too much! Maybe I couldn't give my husband the best but I never did anything unfair to them. I know you want to marry you because of your teacher's prophecy, I also know the pain you feel rope believe me! I'm not the same as your mother and not all women who marry more than one husband will be like your mother." Zixia tried to convince He Yidu to calm the nervous and fearful He Yidu.
He Yidu raised his head, his eyes reddening like he was about to cry. All this time, he had always been strong because he did not want to be humiliated and looked down upon anymore. The torture he received from childhood had become his own fear of women.
His mother always said that men are worthless, men who are wanted by women are tough men from the descendants of people in the kinship. While He Yidu's father was just a man whose mother found by the side of the road.
That's why his status in the family is very low, he and his father always get unfair treatment from his mother and husband and other children of his mother. He Yidu was able to leave that house after he had the strength and gain the privileges of the Upper Continent royal party right before his father disappeared without a trace.
His status was also raised as one of the princes of the Upper Continent, he himself had no idea where the title came from. He was treated well after all the good items from the Upper Continent royal palace came to his residence which the palace side also gave him.
"My mom always said I was a useless kid, she treated me and dad like shit. We always get insults, kicks, swearing and we're not even fed if their mood is not okay." He Yidu finally spoke.
"I'm sure of everything I got today because of the status of the father that the Upper Continent royal party has known. Father turned out to be one of the princes, but until now my mother did not know because father and mother are not officially married father status also does not allow mother to find out about him." He Yidu was grateful that his father's memory had returned, otherwise they would still be treated unfairly.
"Every day I would be beaten, tortured like an animal because no one would care. I would sometimes only be fed bread at night, slept outside without a blanket and even had to obey my sister. If it fights then the blow I get will increase many times over." He Yidu recalled what he had been through.
He Yidu looked at Liu Zixia, his tears falling without him being able to prevent. "I was even forced to eat shit as a child, toyed with like a worthless pet. Mom would even laugh happily when I got hurt being beaten by my other husband and brother." Those bad memories left deep scars in He Yidu's heart.
