In the third year after marrying into the Shaw family, I hadn't given birth to any child.

Because of that, my mother-in-law scolded me every day.

John even humiliated me before others, "She begs me for not divorcing her every day. That is so pathetic, right?"

I didn't want to degrade myself anymore, so I took the initiative to give John the divorce agreement.

My stepmother saw me as a shame, so she married me to General Yule.

The Yule family was a prestigious family. But it was kind of ominous, because General Yule married three times, but his wives all died.

And I became the fourth one to meet my death.

On our wedding night, I pleaded with General Yule, "General..."

David's voice was low as he asked, "How come you're still a virgin?"

From then on, I spent most of my time with David every day and barely left the house.

Everyone said I must be dying.

My ex-mother-in-law came to make fun of me. "I knew you would end up being miserable."

I came out with my six chubby baby boys, watching her and smiling happily.

——

"Zoey, wake up!"

John woke me up with a hard push.

A sudden pain came from my shoulder.

In matters of the intercourse, John never gave me a good face.

He was always like this, but he failed every time.

I said tactfully, "Maybe we should try next time..."

Before I could finish speaking, John raised his hand and slapped me, saying, "Shut up!"

John was annoyed because of his self-esteem.

He pushed me away, put on his clothes, and said the same thing again, "If you dare to say it, I will divorce you!"

When he opened the door, he scolded even louder, "You have no charm at all! It really makes me lose interest!"

It seemed like he was afraid that people would know something.

This was my third year in the Shaw family.

I still had no child.

After John left, the servants came to help me with the shower.

They didn't hold back at all, "It's been three years! And Mrs. Shaw is still not pregnant. And she won't let Mr. Shaw marry another wife. She's really a wicked woman!"

"Exactly, she wants our young master to have no heirs. She's so malicious!"

...

John, afraid of exposing his impotence, had been refusing to take concubines, not even telling his own mother the truth.

He just blamed me for everything, even saying that I had always refused to let him take concubines.

So my mother-in-law was even more dissatisfied with me.

While I was bathing, my mother-in-law's scolding came from the door, "No need to serve her. Let her do it herself. She only knows how to eat and can't give birth to a baby. She's useless!

I even think it's a waste of water!"

She pulled open the curtain of the bed and said, "Zoey, look at yourself. Our Shaw family has been unlucky because of you jinx!"

The misfortune of the Shaw family was not my fault.

In the past, the Shaw family was considered a well-off family, but after John's father passed away, John accomplished nothing, and he relied on a little family fortune to make a living.

Even so, the Shaw family still looked down on me.

Although I was the eldest daughter of the Clinton family, my mother passed away early, and my father remarried. After my stepmother gave birth to a daughter, my situation became worse.

My mother also gave birth to two daughters.

My stepmother often used my sister to control me.

Originally, the Shaw family was interested in my stepmother's daughter, but she thought John was not successful enough, so she married me over.

I endured for three years, and finally received the news of my little sister's marriage a few days ago.

A few days later, John took me to attend a baby's Red Egg and Ginger Party.

Although I didn't want to go, I had no choice but to accompany him.

When we were about to leave, my mother-in-law shouted at my back in the courtyard, "Don't you have shame? Some ladies at my age have two grandsons already..."

John also heard it, but just twitched his mouth, looking indifferent.

At the banquet, the nanny held the baby in front of the table to greet everyone.

The child babbled and accidentally knocked over the wine glass in front of me.

My clothes got wet, and the servant took me to clean up.

When I came back, John had already gone upstairs to have tea with a group of friends.

I had just stepped onto the stairs to the second floor when I heard voices from inside.

"Mr. Shaw, you are very loyal to your wife. When will you invite us to the Red Egg and Ginger Party of your baby?"

John's voice was mocking, "Loyal? She cries and throws a tantrum, not allowing me to take concubines! the Shaw family is a big family with a big business. I'm still waiting for someone to give birth to a child to inherit the family business!"

He continued, "She begs me every day not to divorce her. Can you believe how shameless she is?"

There was a meaningful laughter from inside.

In John's eyes, I was not his wife.

He did not give me the respect I deserved.

As his wife, I was not even as good as a servant in the Shaw family.

At this moment, I couldn't go in. Perhaps because my mind was occupied with thoughts, I didn't pay attention when I stepped back, so I missed a step.

When I lost my balance and thought I was going to fall, my waist was instantly held.

I turned around and saw a well-built man with a handsome face.

I fell right into his arms.

The strong arm around my waist, and the firm chest instantly made my face flush.

This was what a real man looked like, unlike John, who was always weak and limp!

"Thank you... Thank you very much," I quickly stepped out of his embrace.

He retracted his arm, stepped up one step, and instantly became a head taller than me.

He said softly, "Mrs. Shaw, you have a good temper."

Being hinted at by him, I knew that he had also heard the conversation inside.

In the eyes of John, I was worthless.

I lowered my head and said, "You must be kidding."

Then, I passed him and stepped into the door.

"John, since that's the case, I don't want to be humiliated anymore.

Let's break up."

I publicly humiliated John.

After pulling me back, he scolded me for a while, "Zoey, are you tired of living? You've made me lose face!"

'What? Break up?' My mother-in-law heard John's voice outside and kicked the door open.

She grabbed a cup on the table and splashed it on my face, "You heartless bitch, how dare you bring up breaking up!

Son, make her leave. When the time comes, I will help you find another wife to have children with!"

My mother-in-law ordered someone to throw all my belongings outside the house, and I was also thrown out along by the servants.

People coming and going at the gate of the mansion stopped to listen.

My mother-in-law was still making a fuss and shouting for everyone to come and see, "Our Shaw family has accumulated good deeds. I didn't expect a worthless woman to marry John. You can't bear children! Now you want to leave, we will let you leave. You are a money-losing bitch!"

John stood at the gate of the mansion and stared at me, "Divorce? You got it wrong, Zoey. I don't want you anymore! I divorce you!"

He crumpled the divorce letter and threw it at me. Then he and his mother closed the door and entered the mansion without looking back.

I got up and packed my things, with constant gossip in my ears.

"I heard that she cannot bear children and is driven out?"

"She can't bear children herself and doesn't allow Mr. Shaw to take concubines. Isn't this what she deserves?"

...

I dragged my things home, when it started raining. As I arrived at the gate of the Clintons' Mansion, I was completely soaked.

But my stepmother wouldn't let anyone open the door.

She was ashamed and made me stand outside the whole night before allowing me to enter.

The next day I had a high fever.

My stepmother completely ignored me and only cared about themselves.

"If you come back like this, won't it bring shame to our family and your sisters?" My stepmother pushed the door open and said, "the Yule family needs a wife, so you should go and be a concubine. We can't afford to lose face to keep you at home."

Her daughter Leah, who was following behind my stepmother, covered her mouth and laughed. "Zoey, the general's three wives have all died. With your unlucky fate, I wonder how long you can survive if you marry into that family?"

I was burning up and couldn't say a word.

I had heard about the Yule family's situation.

The Yule family was a prestigious military family, but although General Yule has got glorious military achievements, his wife died at a young age.

People said that the Yule family had killed too many people, causing bad luck in their household.

As a result, no one in the capital dares to marry their daughters into the Yule family anymore.

My stepmother wanted to marry me into the Yule family, which was like sending me to my death.
