With a "bang".

The ball hit a woman who was standing outside the courtyard, looking angry.

The woman fell to the ground in pain, screaming, "Ah—"

The piercing sound startled the other concubines who were resting nearby.

Lin Chang'an was dumbfounded.

My sister is incredibly strong!

He could see the sparks.

"Little sister, where did the ball go?"

Lin Wanwan pointed with her small hand.

Hey, let's go to the outer courtyard...

Lin Chang'an almost cried; that was the little ball he had treasured for months.

He learned to make it himself from his personal servant.

A small courtyard.

Zou Shuang'er clutched her head, screaming in pain on the ground.

She nearly fainted when she saw the bright red blood on her hands.

She only entered the manor today, and she's already bleeding? That's so unlucky!

"Mother, how are you?"

"Wanqing, it seems like I've seen the King of Hell."

Her mind was hazy, and for a brief moment, her vision went black, and she actually saw a woman in red.

I was almost scared to death.

Zou Wanqing said, "Mother, in broad daylight, where would a King of Hell come from?"

She wasn't afraid of any of that.

She's a demon spirit, she's died once already, what is the King of Hell afraid of?

"Which old hag is yelling so loudly? Does she have a death wish?"

A series of angry curses came from the doorway. Zou Shuang'er struggled to her feet and sat on the steps to the side.

Before long, several women dressed in glamorous long dresses walked in from the doorway.

Lingwei looked down at Zou Shuang'er, who was sitting on the steps dressed in rich clothes, and said condescendingly, "You are the master's beloved?"

Despite her headache, Zou Shuang'er forced a smile and asked, "Who are you?"

"Me?" Lingwei rolled her eyes at her and sneered, "Didn't anyone introduce you to the people in the manor beforehand?"

Zou Shuang'er looked completely innocent. "No, that's not true."

Ling Wei sneered, "Heh, no manners at all. I'll teach you a lesson today!"

"I am a concubine of this household, the Third Madam."

"The woman to my left is the Marquis's second wife, his concubine."

"On the right are two concubines, namely Concubine Xue and Concubine Yan."

"When you see us in the future, you must greet us with respect and courtesy. This is the most basic rule."

Zou Shuang'er shuddered, quite frightened. "What did you say?"

A concubine?

Concubine?

A favored concubine?

She calmed herself down and asked softly:

"Are you mistaken? The Marquis's mansion only has concubines in brothels, where did you get the idea of ​​equal wives and noble concubines?"

Yu Shuang sneered, touching her hand. "What? You, the mistress, are acting like the wife? Daring to question us?"

"That's what I mean. No matter what, we're still better than you, you thief, you lowly wretch, daring to seduce our husbands."

"Shameless slapping of women."

"You bitch!"

The group had been harboring resentment for a long time and had been looking for an excuse to teach her a lesson; they finally found their chance.

"Second Madam, you are the equal wife, and she is a lowly concubine who has offended us. What do you suggest we do?" Lingwei looked at Yu Shuang ingratiatingly.

Yu Shuang pondered the matter carefully.

Finally, she glanced at Lingwei and said, "You are a concubine and also the third wife. This lowly concubine has offended you, so you may punish her as you see fit."

Lingwei became interested upon hearing this.

"Ah Guo, slap yourself!"

The personal maid, A-Guo, obeyed the order and walked straight toward Zou Shuang'er.

Seeing her unfriendly gaze, Zou Shuang'er took a step back and protected Zou Wanqing.

"What do you want? If you hurt me, the Marquis will not let you off."

"Smack!"

"Clap clap clap!"

"Clap clap clap clap clap!"

"Ahhh—" Zou Shuang'er covered her already swollen face and cried out in pain.

"How dare you! I am the master's woman, how dare you?"

How dare you?

Lingwei was even more furious when she saw that the woman kept mentioning "Master".

Since Yu Shuang already received her grandfather's favor, they didn't get much affection from him.

Now another of the master's favorites has arrived. Isn't this blatantly stealing away the little favor they have left?

She was also a widow whose husband had died!

"Smack!"

"ah."

"Wanqing, my daughter, how are you?"

Zou Shuang'er looked at her daughter, who had been slapped hard by Ling Wei, and her eyes turned red with anger.

"Waaaaah... Mom, it hurts so much."

Zou Wanqing was beaten so badly that she fell to the ground screaming. The pain on her face made her want to kill those people.

Zou Shuang'er picked her up with heartache and comforted her in her arms.

"You wait, when the master comes, I will tell him to sell you all off!"

"By harming my daughter, you have offended the Marquis!"

"Slap!" Lingwei slapped him hard again.

Zou Shuang'er was knocked to the ground, seeing stars.

“Tell the master? Besides us, let’s see who else will stand on your side here.”

"You lowly wretch, being a concubine is already an honor for you. How dare you compare yourself to those of us who entered the manor rightfully?"

"Selling?"

Do you think we're all like you, lowly concubines?

We're all listed in the family genealogy, who would dare sell us off?

Zhiyan pulled Lingwei back, trying to comfort her, "Sister, there's no need to get angry with this kind of person. How could someone of our status, like her, a lowly concubine, possibly understand us?"

"Family tree?" Zou Shuang'er was fully awake.

So it turns out that once she entered the Marquis's mansion, her status was the lowest among all the concubines.
