"Grandmother said that when Aunt Lu gave birth to a daughter, it was actually a stillborn baby.
At the same time, the concubine my uncle had been keeping quietly outside the mansion also gave birth to a daughter. From what my grandmother said, the concubine seemed to be very unusual, not an ordinary woman. My grandmother was very wary of her and said that if her affairs got out, it would ruin the Jiang family.
Jiang Xiancao's heart beat faster. She had never thought that she was not Lu's biological daughter.
