As the young master of the Li family helped Tang Xin Yi to the door, she didn't receive the same treatment.
However, Young Master Li didn't seem to mind much. After they entered the main gate.
"Husband, I am truly sorry, I have implicated you," Tang Xin Yi said with great concern.
"What are you talking about? This is not your fault. You are pregnant now, don't think so much." Young Master Li comforted Tang Xin Yi.
He knew that his wife was a concubine's daughter and was not favored in the Duke An's mansion. Of course, if she were favored, she wouldn't have married him.
But he was truly grateful that Duke An's mansion was willing to marry his wife to him. Although his wife came from a noble family, she had no airs. Especially since she truly admired and supported him.
Only she would think he was amazing. Even though he didn't want to be an official and only wanted to do business, she didn't mind.
Instead, she actively offered him ideas. Although some of her ideas sounded wild and fantastical, every time he pointed out their shortcomings, he would receive his wife's praise.
From her, he felt so powerful. His wife was a petite woman, and he had to create a world for her.
Wasn't her legitimate sister bullying her by relying on her status? It was his fault for being useless, unable to give her a grand wedding, and letting these snobbish servants treat her with such disregard.
"Let me send you to your concubine mother's place to rest for a while. There are too many people ahead, and you are pregnant. You cannot be jostled," Young Master Li was very gentle when facing Tang Xin Yi.
"Yes, I'll listen to my husband. But I'm making my husband upset again. It's all my fault for being useless and not favored by my father, which has also caused my husband to be wronged."
Tang Xin Yi didn't mention her husband's status issue, instead blaming herself.
"I'm fine. You are just overthinking things." Then he sent Tang Xin Yi to the gate connecting the front and back courtyards, and he himself went to the front courtyard with the gift list.
Tang Xin Yi watched his departing back quietly for a moment before turning to leave.
"Why would you fall for someone like this?" Tang Le Yi's voice came from behind her, filled with strong mockery.
"Didn't my legitimate sister choose this person for me? I'm following the path my legitimate sister chose for me, so why is my legitimate sister unhappy?"
Tang Xin Yi smiled at her legitimate sister. Unlike when they were in their chambers, the vertical frown line between her legitimate sister's brows had deepened, and she looked more imposing.
However, unlike before when she couldn't do anything to her, now she had the confidence to confront her.
But she still couldn't provoke her, as she was pregnant and dared not gamble that she wouldn't make a move.
"But do you know, your life wasn't originally like this?" Tang Le Yi was filled with resentment. She wished her concubine sister was as unwilling as her, as resentful as her.
Tang Xin Yi's pupils constricted, but she quickly masked her abnormality.
"I don't know what my legitimate sister is talking about. I am just a concubine's daughter, not very valued. I am already very satisfied to be married to my husband."
"But you could have married a more outstanding man, who would have promised you a lifetime of devotion and cherished you..." Tang Le Yi's voice was full of malice.
Her legitimate sister was talking about the plot of the original book. Why would she know! Could the other transmigrator be her? No, she didn't seem like a modern person.
So, was it rebirth?
Was it because of rebirth that she knew those poems, and because of rebirth that she kept targeting her?
"Legitimate sister, I feel very happy right now. My husband treats me very well, and I am very content." Tang Xin Yi did not engage with her words. She genuinely felt that her life was going well.
Although her husband had a reputation for being a dandy, he was just a bit too fond of playing. As for the promise of being monogamous, promises were fleeting; what mattered was how things were done.
Men were to be trained. If trained well, even scumbags could become devoted hounds.
Moreover, her husband was just childish. Compared to Feng Fei Yu, he was less annoying and didn't have such a difficult mother-in-law.
Her mother-in-law was just a bit too doting on her husband, but she also wished her husband well. Since their goals were the same, they naturally had common ground.
Her husband would also help her deal with his mother. So, by winning over her husband alone, she had won over his entire family.
If she had truly married Feng Fei Yu, she definitely wouldn't be living so well. Novels would only talk about the male and female protagonists living happily ever after, but they wouldn't mention whether they would have these family troubles.
"Is that so? Then you truly are not picky!" Not getting the result she wanted, Tang Le Yi angrily flung her sleeves and left. Before leaving, she glanced at Tang Xin Yi's belly.
Tang Xin Yi shielded her lower abdomen. After her legitimate sister left, she immediately headed towards her concubine mother's courtyard.
This legitimate sister seemed to have always focused on the male protagonist. Now that the princess had snatched him away, and she had married someone she wasn't very satisfied with, she seemed to have gone a bit mad.
Tang Xin Yi felt that she needed to keep her distance from her, lest she make a move against her.
But no matter how much she guarded against it, she couldn't prevent it, as the Duke An's mansion was still under the control of the Duchess.
Just as Tang Xin Yi was going to dine, she slipped and fell. The maids beside her and her concubine mother quickly helped her up.
But she was still startled, and her lower abdomen ached. She was very afraid that something had happened to the child in her womb.
After realizing she couldn't go back, she treated this world as a real one, and this child was her most important connection in this world.
Because it was Duke An's birthday banquet, her concubine mother couldn't find a doctor. She could only quickly have Tang Xin Yi helped to a nearby courtyard to rest, and then send someone to the front courtyard to call for her husband.
Soon, Young Master Li was brought over. Seeing Tang Xin Yi's pale face, Young Master Li felt extremely heartbroken. He directly wrapped her in his cloak and carried her out.
"Husband, will the baby be alright?" Tang Xin Yi's voice was filled with worry.
"Everything will be fine. Rest against me. We'll be at the doctor's soon." His face was also pale, but he still comforted Tang Xin Yi softly.
Tang Xin Le Yi also saw the two leaving. How lucky! Nothing happened. But this is just a warning for you, Tang Xin Yi. You only deserve to live a tragic life!
Beside her, Tang Le Yi's husband saw the schadenfreude on his wife's face and understood that Tang Xin Yi's accident this time was likely Tang Le Yi's doing.
Tang Xin Yi probably didn't know that the person who understood her best in this world was her husband, who could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.
However, at the moment, her heart was filled with malice towards Tang Xin Yi, and she didn't notice that the gaze of the person beside her was starting to change.
