The Leng Mansion, the residence of a fifth-rank minor official in the capital, seems particularly deserted these days compared to its previous bustling state.

It was nothing more than one thing: the eldest daughter of the Leng family who had married into the Marquis's Mansion a few years ago was terminally ill.

Seeing that there was no cure, her motherly love broke out and she wanted to pave the way for her two young children before she died.

You must know that as the princess consort of the marquis's mansion, the eldest daughter of the Leng family is leaving.

There are countless unmarried young women out there who are thinking about taking over.

Marry into the Marquis's Mansion and become the Marquis's Prince's Consort.

Rather than asking women who are not related to you by blood to take your place.

When they have children, they will not allow the two children left behind to take away their status and love.

It would be better to choose a sister with a good personality and the same father as her from her mother's family to take her place.

Leng Qingyun, who was seriously ill and unable to get up from bed, thought and considered again and again.

Even if you are extremely unwilling, after all, unless it is absolutely necessary, who would want to give up their status, husband, and children so easily?

But she also knew that now was not the time to act on her own will.

So she suppressed her sadness and called over the maid who had come with her as a dowry and was also her confidante.

I asked someone to send a message to my mother's family.

Speaking of this mother from her maiden side, she is not the biological mother of the eldest daughter of the Leng family.

Her biological mother was Mr. Leng's first wife, who passed away early, leaving the eldest daughter of the Leng family alone.

Later, Old Master Leng felt sorry for his only daughter who had lost her mother at a young age, and was afraid that the mistress who was welcomed into the family later would mistreat the legitimate daughter left by his first wife, who was also the eldest daughter.

So the old lady of the Leng family, who was still alive at the time, made the final decision, and Mr. Leng married Helan Yuer, the illegitimate sister of his deceased first wife Helan Yi.

The eldest daughter born of a legitimate wife and the stepmother's concubine have always had naturally opposing identities.

Don’t even think about Leng Qingyun having feelings for this aunt who occupies the identity of her biological mother.

The eldest daughter of the Leng family was proud of her noble status and looked down upon her young stepmother.

It was the old lady who proposed to Helan, and Mr. Leng also agreed with his mother's approach.

When the guests were welcomed in, the old lady disliked the daughter-in-law behind her because she was not as noble as the daughter-in-law in front of her, and was not good at welcoming and seeing off guests.

Old Mr. Leng dislikes his current wife because she is not as gentle and lovely as his first wife.

Not to mention the subtle instigation of Leng Qingyun, the daughter of his first wife.

Helan Yuer could only barely maintain superficial harmony with the Leng family.

She had had enough of the Leng family's coldness and hypocrisy over the years, and she couldn't be a good wife and mother, so she had to endure that humiliation in vain.

Although she has a son and a daughter, she is over 30 years old. In this era, if her children get married early, they would probably have become grandmothers long ago.

But her temper was still as impatient as it had been for more than ten years. She challenged the old bitch who was more than ten years older than her, and her voice was so loud that it could be heard three miles away from the Leng Mansion.

"You old bastard, how shameless are you? You even sold your own daughter."

"I think you don't need to be an official anymore. Why don't you take off your official uniform and become a matchmaker, specializing in this kind of evil business."

Mr. Leng has been a civil servant for many years. Apart from the high-sounding rhetoric, he has never spoken such vulgar words.

Looking at the person opposite who was covered in powder and howling like a ghost, he let out a roar, opened his bloody mouth with bared teeth, and showed his sharp white teeth.

These are just appetizers.

The lead powder that fell off her body was faintly visible. Her face was horrified and her expression was terrifying. She did not have any trace of womanly appearance or virtue.

Unable to bear the sight, old man Leng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at "you~you~you~" for a long time without being able to say anything. He once again regretted the past.

He shouldn't have listened to his mother and married such a shrew.

"I'm doing this for Qingxue's own good. If a shoe falls off in such a big city like Kyoto, the owner of the shoe must be someone extraordinary."

"I am just a small fifth-rank official in Kyoto, and Xueqing is the daughter of a concubine. If nothing unexpected happens, her future husband's family will not be well-known."

"Rather than marrying a scholar from a farming and scholarly family and living a miserable life, it's better to marry the prince of a marquisate and become his concubine."

"Although it may not sound good to go out, she is the wife after all. She is the housekeeper as soon as she comes in. With the face of her elder sister, it is not wronged to Qingxue."

Listening to the nonsense spoken by the old beast who looks like a human but doesn't speak human language in a tone of earnest instruction.

Helan Yuer, with her hands on her hips, could hardly maintain her calm appearance as thin as ice. Her chest heaved several times, almost exploding.

Helan Yu'er glared at him furiously. After living with him for more than ten years, she only knew that the old beast was not a human being, but she didn't expect him to be so inhuman.

"Your Leng family did so much evil in your past life. You are thinking about your sister-in-law, and your daughter is thinking about her own sister."

"Hasn't Leng Qingyun always been proud of her status as the legitimate daughter and looked down on me, her stepmother? How could she be so shameless and do such a conscienceless thing now?"

"Do you really think I'm just like her mother, cold-blooded and heartless like her?"

After she finished speaking, she sneered coldly, narrowed her eyes and looked at the old immortal in front of her with a mocking look, with a strange look of blowing his beard and glaring.

The relationship between the couple was thinner than paper. Since they had a pair of children, they had established a firm foothold in the Leng family's backyard.

Helan Yuer was too lazy to pay attention to the old immortal in front of her.

I remember she was quite beautiful back then, but now she has become a dried pickle lump in the wind and sun.

The vague beauty and literary character that were there have long since gone away, without a trace left.

The two people, who are resentful of each other and can't stand each other, have not slept together for more than ten years.

"I'm putting this out there. If you want to sell your daughter and not be a human being, it depends on whether I'm willing or not. If you push me to the limit, I'll report you to the higher authorities for forming a clique for personal gain and colluding with both insiders and outsiders."
