It was already Si time when Wushuang got up. After she made some preparations, her adopted son Shangguan Ya came over to serve her tea.

Wushuang: On the first day of her wedding, it was others who offered her tea, not her who offered tea to others. Was this the first time she had such an experience?

At this time, Shangguan Sui had already returned from the palace and was sitting with Wushuang waiting for Shangguan Ya to serve tea.

Wushuang looked at him with a smile and said, "I have become your mother now. Are you happy?"

"I'm very happy too. From now on, please be considerate of your mother. After all, you are young and have never raised a child." Wushuang said to Shangguan Ya with a smile.

Shangguan Ya: “…”

He didn't expect that his momentary boast would come true, and his fiancée actually married his father.

Shangguan Ya looked at Shangguan Sui. His father always had a blank expression on his face, and he could not see any emotion from him at all.

Wushuang drank the tea Shangguan Ya offered her while saying, "I will live a good life with your father in the future. You are already an adult and will be coming of age soon. So don't bother your father so often."

"You're already a grown-up, shouldn't you be trying to earn money to support your family?" Wushuang looked at Shangguan Ya and said, "You probably don't want to be called a second-generation rich kid who's relying on your father for support, right?"

"I remember you had a position before the accident. Have you not returned to work yet?"

“How can I support my family if I don’t work?”

"Although you are the heir of the Marquis' Mansion, you can't just let your father support you with such composure. You are an adult now, and you should earn money to support yourself, your wife and children, right?"

"Your father also has his own wife—that is, me—who needs to be supported. He can no longer support you."

"Right? You should be able to support yourself and your loved ones, right?" Wushuang looked at him and said with a smile.

Shangguan Ya: “…” He didn’t expect that this would be the first sign of power his new mother would give him on his first day in office.

"Father?" Shangguan Ya looked at his father.

His mother treated him like this on the first day she got married. Doesn’t his father have any objections?

Even if he had contradicted his father before, he was his father's only son, so his father should be on his side, right?

Shangguan Sui said expressionlessly, "Your mother is right. You are already an adult. You must learn to stand up for yourself."

"Since you insist on marrying the woman you love, then you must take responsibility." Shangguan Sui said calmly, "You wouldn't want someone else to support the woman you love, would you?"

Even a father is not very willing to help his son raise his wife and children.

Shangguan Sui also knew that he had been too good to Shangguan Ya before, so good that he had forgotten his responsibilities.

Even though he already had a fiancée, he still fell in love with another woman and was even unwilling to marry his fiancée for her.

Now Shangguan Sui is no longer willing to indulge Shangguan Ya. He only hopes that he can learn his lesson and grow in the future.

Shangguan Ya: “…”

"Okay, let's stop here for the tea." Wushuang put down the teacup and looked at Shangguan Ya and said, "Now that you have recovered, go back to work as soon as possible."

"A man should be upright and honest. How can he be entangled in love affairs?"

"A good man has ambitions for the world. Don't just hide away in your house and do nothing. Go out and work."

"Although your father is very powerful, he has to support so many people in our mansion, which is very hard. As a son, you should share the burden with your father." Wushuang said earnestly.

Shangguan Ya: “…”

Shangguan Ya felt extremely awkward seeing his ex-fiancée and current stepmother Wushuang, who was obviously several years younger than him, speaking to him in an attitude of an elder.

He didn't dare to disrespect Wushuang.

His father was good in every way and was a very polite man.

Since he has married Wushuang, as a son, he must treat Wushuang with respect and not disrespect his mother.

What could Shangguan Ya say? He could only go back to work obediently.

He did have a job before the accident. He was an 18-year-old man with a father like Marquis Changping. How could he be idle?

The reason he was so "leisurely" before was simply because he was injured and needed to recuperate. Now that several months have passed, it's time for him to go back to work.

Wushuang watched the father and son leave, then turned back to look at the maid and said, "Let's go and meet Miss Lu."

The maid looked at her wife in surprise.

Who in the entire Marquis' Mansion, or even the entire capital, doesn't know that their wife was originally the young master's fiancée?

Now that the lady has married in, is she eager to cause trouble for the young master's beloved girl?

Wushuang had no intention of causing trouble. She was just very curious about the heroine Lu Qingwan and what kind of heroine she was.

Lu Qingwan lives in a remote courtyard in the Marquis' Mansion. Although the location is relatively remote, the environment is still very good.

As the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion, Shangguan Ya's treatment did not decrease much even though he angered Shangguan Sui because of his marriage.

With his protection, Lu Qingwan would certainly not be neglected by the people in the Marquis' Mansion.

Moreover, the servants in the Marquis' Mansion have all been strictly disciplined. Shangguan Sui manages his servants in the same way as he manages his own soldiers, and does not allow any lip service to be given.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter that Lu Qingwan’s identity is a bit awkward, the servants will never flatter the weak or treat her badly.

Lu Qingwan had been living well in the Marquis' Mansion for the past month. Although she was a little nervous, she was not treated badly in terms of material things.

When she saw Wushuang's figure, she had the thought, "He's here as expected."

When Wushuang married into the Marquis' Mansion, Lu Qingwan knew that she would definitely come to find her, after all, it was she who prevented her from marrying Shangguan Ya.

Although Lu Qingwan felt very sorry, she was not willing to let Shangguan Ya go at all.

She must be with Shangguan Ya.

"Greetings, Madam." Lu Qingwan saluted Wushuang respectfully, of course she was performing the salutation of a junior.

If she wants to be with Shangguan Ya, then Wushuang, Shangguan Ya's mother, is of course her elder.

Wushuang nodded, walked straight past her and sat down.

She was obviously sitting down, and Lu Qingwan was sitting down, but she had an air of looking down at Lu Qingwan from a superior position.

When Lu Qingwan saw her like this, she suddenly felt pressured.

She really didn't expect that although they were of the same age, Wushuang's aura was as strong as that of the Marquis. She was a little scared.

Is this the aura of a noble lady, a wealthy lady brought up by a prominent family?

Wushuang looked at Lu Qingwan and said, "Miss Lu, you have been in the Marquis' Mansion for some time, right?"

"Yes." Lu Qingwan answered honestly.

"So, have you thought about the future?" Wushuang looked at her and asked, "Shangguan Ya is the heir of a marquisate, and you are just a peasant girl, an orphan at that."

"Do you think you two are a good match?" Wushuang asked, "The phrase 'equally matched' is not just a simple expression."
