This peasant girl was favored because of her simplicity, cuteness and honesty. After arriving at the mansion, she gradually became blinded by wealth and attempted to compete with the eldest son. Her grandfather discovered this and began to neglect her. However, it didn't matter, because she still had sons. She dared not harm the eldest and second young masters, so she looked for opportunities to get close to the third young master every day. The third young master was born from her womb, wasn't he?

For the first time, my third uncle felt his mother's warmth from his aunt, and they grew closer. My grandmother didn't like the son born to this peasant girl and wouldn't harm him; she usually ignored him, so she didn't care about this situation.

And so, the young third uncle was tricked into not being close to his elder brother's legitimate daughter, but instead becoming close to the maternal family of a peasant girl with ulterior motives. Later, something happened that enraged the grandfather, who drove the peasant girl's family out of the capital. The reason was that the peasant family had become greedy and lazy because of the old concubine who supported them, and they tricked the third uncle into scrimping and saving, giving them all the things in his room.

Back then, Ama would still occasionally check on his younger brother to show that he was a good older brother. He only realized something was wrong when he discovered that his brother's room, which he hadn't paid much attention to, was empty and all the decorations and utensils were gone.

Actually, Third Uncle's wet nurse was a good person who genuinely cared for him. She had wanted to tell Madam about the situation, but the old woman in Grandmother's courtyard thought that Third Uncle was just a child and not favored, so she stopped her and didn't report it.

Eventually, things escalated. My grandfather beat the old woman to death, and my grandmother was also implicated. The farmer's family was driven out of the capital overnight, but they only managed to recover a small portion of their belongings, as the rest were pawned and spent.

My third uncle was still young, and my grandfather wanted to change his mind. Whenever he had time, he would ask about his three sons' studies, thus separating my third uncle from my aunt.

Grandmother came to terms with it and would show concern for her third uncle, asking about his studies, but ultimately there was still a rift between them.

There's no such thing as a thief who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.

The old aunt no longer sought her grandfather's favor; she only had her son, and she thought that teaching him to fight was for his own good.

But what level is the aunt's wife, and what level is the grandmother's wife?

The peasant girl was illiterate, and when her grandmother discovered her aunt's foolishness, she didn't stop her, letting her ruin her third uncle's studies. Now, her third uncle is almost thirty and still taking the imperial examinations with young boys, finally passing this year.

After discovering that his son had no interest in studying, the grandfather wanted to send his third uncle to the army. The third uncle agreed, but when his aunt found out, she cried and made a scene every day, saying that the grandfather didn't like this son, was heartless, and wanted to send his son to his death.

In the end, Grandfather was exhausted both physically and mentally, and Uncle San missed another opportunity to join the army.

He became someone who was neither good at academics nor at martial arts.

So whether having a peasant girl as a concubine was his good fortune or misfortune is hard to say. His third aunt was his mother's cousin, and his grandfather had put a lot of effort into arranging her marriage for his third uncle. Although his third aunt's father was a minor official of the seventh rank, he was an upright official with a good reputation, and his elder brother was also promising. She was the eldest daughter in the family, born to the wife, not a concubine.

She had won over her third uncle's heart in the few years since she married into the family and had given birth to two sons in a row. However, her aunt disapproved and kept nagging her third uncle.
