Just as Lin Rouer said, Zhu Xianyue would live a life of luxury if she married him.

But how could that old man, at his age, have sex? If he couldn't have sex and still wanted a concubine, he probably had some quirk, like a love of beating people, to prove his still-powerful status.

Zhu Huaisheng corrected her first: "Auntie, you are a concubine and cannot claim to be my mother. My mother is the mistress of the Zhu Mansion."

Lin Rouer: "...Sister Yue, didn't we always call each other like this in private before?"

"That's against the rules."

"I understand... Sister Yue is disgusted with me..."

Lin Rouer started crying again.

Zhu Xianyue pretended not to see it, yawned, and said, "Auntie, I'm tired. I'm going back to my room to rest. If you like the scenery here, then you can continue to enjoy it here!"

"Sister Yue..."

Lin Rouer was speechless, not understanding why her sister Yue suddenly became cold towards her.

It wasn't like this before...

Sister Yue is the most soft-hearted person. As soon as she cries, she agrees to all her requests.

What happened to Sister Yue today?

But the adults said that no one can marry Yue Jie'er off without her consent.

What should I do?

Lin Rouer bit her handkerchief tightly, thinking that she was not miserable enough and failed to arouse Yue Jie'er's sympathy.

She must be sick and lose her appetite because of this.

With the arrangement made, she hurried back to her yard.

…

At the same time, Zhu Xianyue began to fully accept the plot of this world.

Her father was the Censor-in-Chief, a decent official position under the emperor.

My stepmother, Chen Yunzhuang, is the daughter of a princess. Although she married into the Zhu family after the princess fell into poverty, she was well-educated and knew the rules of honor and disgrace, making her a decent lady of a wealthy family.

She has only one daughter, Zhu Yingying, Zhu Xianyue's elder sister.

Zhu Yingying had been married a long time ago to the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion. Now she is the mistress of the Earl's Mansion and gave birth to a daughter last year.

Zhu Xianyue's biological mother, Lin Rouer, was originally a lowly concubine, but was promoted to a good concubine because she gave birth to a son.

Above her, there was another concubine, a woman bought from outside by her mother, Shen Yunzhuang. She was originally the daughter of a wealthy family, but unfortunately her family fell into ruin and she became a prostitute. Fortunately, Shen Yunzhuang took a fancy to her and bought her to carry on the Zhu family line.

Zhu Xianyue's brother Zhu Huaisheng is the only son of Lord Zhu.

That's why Lin Rouer dreamed all day long that she would become the legitimate mother of the Zhu family because of her son's status as a mother, kick out Chen Yunzhuang, and become the legitimate mother of the Zhu family.

In order to help her son move up the ladder, she even let her own daughter marry an old man.

In her opinion, her daughter was born to make money for the family.

Although the Chief Censor is old, his family is wealthy and he has influence in the court, so he is an excellent choice for him!

She is Yue Jie'er's biological mother, how could she possibly harm her?!

The original owner married the Imperial Censor and was beaten half to death on the wedding night.

The Imperial Censor did not promote the original owner's brother Zhu Huaisheng for the sake of the original owner, but instead made Lin Rouer and Zhu Huaisheng hate the original owner.

It must be because she is useless and cannot make her master happy that the Imperial Censor did not help Zhu Huaisheng.

The original owner was a concubine and needed her mistress's approval to go out. She had no way to find anyone for help.

Not long after, he was tortured to death.

After her death, her biological mother Lin Rouer and her biological brother Zhu Huaisheng did not shed a single tear for her.

…

But if you think about it carefully, the original owner was brainwashed too much and had no opinions of his own, which is why he ended up like this.
