Surrounded by wolves, the Shi family, in order to preserve their lineage, had no choice but to accept the olive branch offered by the Zhu family, who were also from Yuncheng. The original owner of this body was chosen by Zhu Boyan, the head of the Zhu family, to marry his only son, Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan had been away from home for a long time, ostensibly to study, but in reality, he was just fooling around. He met a singer there and became completely infatuated with her. It wasn't until the second day after the original owner married into the family that she learned there was a concubine who had come back with him. The original owner had been raised with the traditional virtues of obedience to father, wife, and son, so although she felt it was a bit much that Zhu Yan had taken a concubine before she even entered the family, she also knew that it was normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines, so she accepted the fact peacefully.

However, to everyone's surprise, this concubine named Wang Yuan was no pushover. When the tea ceremony was being held, she not only knocked over the teacup, but also falsely accused the original owner of disliking her and deliberately making things difficult for her.

The original owner, having received strict family upbringing, disdained such low-class methods. Furthermore, being gentle by nature, she did not want to hurt people with harsh words, so she merely glanced at her indifferently and ordered her to leave, hoping to downplay the matter.

But to everyone's surprise, Zhu Yan was unwilling to marry the original owner in the first place. Seeing his beloved wiping away tears in a pitiful state, he couldn't help but get angry. He immediately slapped the original owner, and then, without caring about her feelings, he grabbed Wang Yuan and left without looking back.

Wang Yuan triumphantly gave the original owner a taste of her power.

The original owner felt wronged, but she could only endure it because she knew that she did not only represent herself; in a sense, she was a symbol of the cooperation between the two families.

The Shi family is currently facing difficulties, and she cannot act recklessly and break the agreement that was just reached.

This period of endurance lasted for a month. During this time, Zhu Boyan seemed to have overheard something, scolded Zhu Yan, and sent him to the original owner's place.

This led to the scene where he maliciously bullied Shi Lan just now.
