"How about I make the decision and marry the second young lady to Prince Kang?"

Marquis Yuanning was well aware of Prince Kang's temperament. He knew the Crown Prince was intent on punishing the Second Young Lady, but in his rage, he didn't bother to say anything more. "I'll leave everything to the Crown Prince's disposal!"

"Very good, but... I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the Second Young Lady to go out as a young lady from the Marquis' Mansion."

His old eyes drooped slightly, "Prince, you are joking. There are only two girls, Miaomiao and Huanhuan, in the Marquis' Mansion. Where did the others come from?"

With just a few words, the second girl's future was decided.

Ten days later, the second young lady was carried into the palace of Prince Kang in a sedan chair. Originally, a girl from the Marquis's mansion would be a noble concubine even if she became a concubine in the palace, but she was sent away as a gift.

Not to mention being a noble concubine, she couldn't even get the status of a good concubine.

She was enslaved and became a lowly concubine. Even her surname, Lin, was changed to the surname of an old slave in the marquis's mansion, and she became the daughter of that old slave.

Marquis Yuanning did these things very secretly, and it was not until the people were sent to the Prince's Mansion that Concubine Qian of Mingyue Tower heard a little news.

The third lady's face was ruined, and if there was anything that kept Concubine Qian from falling, it was the second lady's marriage.

Even if she can no longer have children, with her family in the Marquis' Mansion, the second young lady can have a say in entering the Prince's Mansion. By then, as long as she has some means, she may be able to bring other concubines' children to raise with her. Even if it is a little difficult, there is always a way out.

But all this... is based on the premise that the second girl is still the girl from the Marquis' Mansion!

The Tingshui Pavilion was filled with red silks. Not only here, but the entire mansion was now decorated with lights and colors.

Lu Fu came in with the cooked sweet soup and placed it in front of Lin Chunhuan with a smile, "Miss, I just heard a joke, do you want to listen to it?"

"Um?"

Lin Chunhuan raised his eyes.

Lu Fu couldn't close her mouth anymore, her smile growing even more joyful. "Somehow, Concubine Qian found out about the Second Young Lady's enslavement, and she ran to the Marquis and made a scene, threatening to kill herself. Then, the Marquis kicked her in the stomach."

"Who would have thought that soon there would be a pool of blood on the ground!"

Lin Chunhuan had been listening absentmindedly, but now his attention was drawn to him. He slowly sat up straight and asked, "Blood?"

"Yes! The Marquis and the First Lady were both terrified. Who would have thought that Concubine Qian, at her age, could still be pregnant? But the child is unlucky, and I'm afraid she won't be able to be born..."

Lu Fu became more and more excited as she spoke, but slowly she realized that Lin Chunhuan didn't respond at all, and the expression on her face was not very good.

Then he gradually stopped smiling and asked cautiously, "Girl...are you unhappy?"

"A life was lost so carelessly. Is this something to be happy about?"

Raising her head, Lin Chunhuan stared directly at Lu Fu, making her feel uncomfortable all over and stuttering. "I thought, I thought you didn't like Concubine Qian..."

"I don't like her, I even hate her, but I'm happy to see her suffer. Whether her two daughters suffer torture in the Prince's Mansion or their faces are damaged and they can no longer marry into a wealthy family, it makes me happy."

"They had evil intentions of their own, and they deserved it, but... the child was innocent. I wouldn't feel bad for her, but there's really nothing to laugh at about this."

Lu Fu's face turned pale and blue after hearing what she said, and she replied in a depressed tone, "I know."

But he didn't hide his unconvinced look well, and when Lin Chunhuan saw it, he could only sigh and say nothing more.

The third lady's wedding was scheduled for three days before Lin Chunhuan's wedding. The man was a merchant with a good family background and a clean backyard. There was no one else there except a maid who had just started to learn English.

The only thing is that the merchant is half blind. He encountered bandits while escorting goods with a caravan a few years ago and accidentally injured one of his eyes. Now he can only see with one eye.

Because of this incident, the man's temperament became a little sinister, and his mother at home was a troublesome person.

This marriage was carefully selected by Lin Yimiao, and he had the King of Qin personally present it to Marquis Yuanning. Even if Aunt Qian wanted to make a fuss, it would be of no avail.

The third girl refused, saying that she would rather commit suicide than marry a blind man. As a result, Marquis Yuanning actually threw a knife in front of her and made a promise.

Even if she is dead, her body must be carried into the bridal sedan!

This is what the rear courtyard is like, full of power and oppression.

Even though Marquis Yuanning actually felt a little guilty towards Concubine Qian for losing her child, under the power of the Eastern Palace and the Royal Palace, he never showed any intention of resisting.

He would only extend his claws to those weaker than himself. Lin Chunhuan listened quietly to Nanny Hong's report and remained silent for a long time.

If she hadn't been able to marry the prince... No, even if she had married the prince, in her father's eyes, she would probably be no different from her two abandoned sisters.

It's just that it's more useful.

But there are no ifs in this world.

The wedding came as scheduled. In just less than a year, the girls in the Marquis' Mansion got married one after another, but only Lin Yimiao's wedding could be compared with today's.

It was obvious that Miss Zhang from the general's mansion was the legitimate Crown Princess, but the Crown Prince was determined to give face to Lin Chunhuan and let the concubine's sedan chair enter the door first.

As the lights come on, the prince marries a wife and everyone celebrates.

The courtyard at the back of the house was very quiet.

After everyone had left, Lin Chunhuan lifted her veil and took off her heavy wedding dress. She only wore her inner clothes and sat barefoot at the table to eat.

"Miss... no, Concubine, are you sure that the Crown Prince won't come tonight?"

Lu Fu asked, and served Lin Chunhuan the food skillfully.

However, Lin Chunhuan simply shook his head and said, "He will definitely come. I'm afraid our Crown Princess will have to stay alone in the empty room tonight."

"Hahaha, you, you, you knew I was coming, but you are still so unruly." Before Lu Fu could respond, the prince's laughter had already spread in the bridal chamber.

Waving his hand to let Lu Fu leave, the prince seemed very happy and even sat at the table to eat. "You really haven't changed at all, so unscrupulous."

Lin Chunhuan's eyes lit up. After slowly swallowing the cake in his mouth, he smiled and said, "The Crown Prince came to me, aren't you afraid that the Crown Princess will be angry?"

The prince's hand that was picking up food suddenly froze.

Lin Chunhuan laughed again, "You see, you are still worried, even if you are the prince."

"So, since we're already so familiar with each other, let's stop saying those hypocritical words. You have to leave anyway, so why not just let me be myself freely? That'll be your little compensation to me, okay?"

The two of them were very close to each other.

A crisp smell of alcohol penetrated the prince's nostrils. It was clearly pungent, but it also had a faint scent of plum blossoms.
