Chapter 2008: Chapter 2008: Loyal Dog Bodyguard (16)
Madam Zuo and her husband were childhood sweethearts, and their marriage was arranged from a young age.They grew up together, married when they were of age, and everything seemed perfect.
However, after they wed, Madam Zuo discovered her husband wasn’t as flawless as she had believed.
The differences in personality weren’t the issue; what truly troubled Madam Zuo was that just a year into marriage, Lord Zuo started indulging in affairs.
The vows once made, turned into fleeting memories.
In these times, having multiple wives and concubines was seen as normal.
So, people would say that Madam Zuo was too petty, lacking the magnanimity to be the primary wife.
Even those from the Zuo family indeed said the same.
Even her own family advised her.
As the main wife, she should ease her husband’s burdens instead of causing a fuss over such trifles.
But Madam Zuo always knew since childhood that she would spend her life with her childhood love, giving all her affections to him.
She believed her husband would honor his promise and love her alone throughout his life.
Yet...
Within just a year, he had already started pursuing other women.
Every time Madam Zuo confronted him, he went from coaxing her to becoming impatient, finally resorting to cold words.
The childhood sweetheart she cherished seemed completely transformed.
The betrayal was harsh, as not long after Lord Zuo married a concubine.
Because of their estrangement, Lord Zuo dearly loved his concubine.
Chuzheng hearing this, could only sigh in her heart that the original protagonist and Madam Zuo were truly two peas in a pod.
Aside from the different causes of their marriages, everything following seemed exactly copied.
Lord Zuo had a terrible temper after drinking, and several times Madam Zuo was hit by him when unlucky enough to cross his path.
She dared not tell anyone about this, only going secretly to buy medicine.
But later, Madam Zuo realized that Lord Zuo wasn’t like this with everyone.
With that concubine, he behaved completely differently.
With only her...
It was only in her presence that such a side of him emerged.
Lord Zuo and the concubine grew more egregious; the concubine sought to replace her, doing everything possible to ruin her reputation in the Zuo household.
Madam Zuo knew today’s incident was orchestrated by that concubine.
She didn’t know if Chuzheng hadn’t intervened, whether she’d end up being beaten to death or face some other mishap...
