Chapter 40: Mrs. Zhang is a love-minded

Regardless of whether Concubine Fang thought this request was absurd, even Bei Jingchu was amazed:

[An ancient version of middle-aged love brain. 】

[The Queen Mother must be so angry that her best friend has become a love-brained person as soon as she got married. ]

[My husband has a lot of illegitimate sons and daughters, and countless illegitimate sons and daughters. ]

【You said you don’t mistreat them, and even care for them, because you have a good heart, and that’s fine.】

[But the problem is that other children can rank above your biological daughter, especially the eldest son of a concubine.]

[Because that is the child that my husband loves.]

【I want to love what he loves】

【yue～】

Hearing those weird words, Concubine Fang's mouth twitched.

Why does it sound like this kid is even angrier than her?

The resentment was vented by another person, making Concubine Fang feel both amused and helpless.

But she finally knew how to attribute her mother's behavior: love brain.

These three words are so common, yet so insightful.

She also remembered that her mother was not loved by her father.

My mother’s appearance can only be described as pretty. Compared with the plump and thin girls in the backyard, she is like a fish eye among pearls.

She just inherited her mother's looks. She's not ugly, but she's not very pretty either.

When she was little, she always complained to herself about her father's shortcomings.

What to say: "I take care of everything in this house. I'm really tired."

"Your father is still having affairs outside, and he is exhausted. I have to make medicinal food for him to nourish him."

"I stared at the fire for hours. I was really tired. Your father didn't show any sympathy at all."

When she was little, Concubine Fang didn't understand. She naively felt sorry for her overworked mother and advised her:

"If you're tired, then don't let him do it. If it doesn't work, let the servants watch over it. Why does mother need to watch the fire herself?"

Mrs. Zhang said, "If I don't take care of him, who else will?"

"What if he becomes weak without my care?"

Concubine Fang was still foolishly advising him: "After you become weak, you won't be able to go out and mess around with flowers and plants. Isn't that good?"

Mrs. Zhang suddenly changed the subject: "You kid, that's your father, how can you say that about him?"

Concubine Fang didn't understand: "Wasn't it my mother who complained first?"

A few days later, Mrs. Zhang complained to her daughter again, crying, "Father is not good to mother. He even beats mother."

Concubine Fang felt sorry for her mother and advised her, "Mother, you should divorce him."

"Fang'er will take care of you from now on and always be filial to mother. We will ignore that man."

Unexpectedly, A'niang turned around and told her father.

She would always remember her smug look.

"You know what? Your daughter said that you were not good to me and that you were not worthy of my care. She advised us to get a divorce!"

"But I've been so good to you, and you won't give up no matter what I say. Now you know you should cherish me, right?"

"Now you know who loves you?"

Zhang's father slammed the table and stood up.

"What!"

Her father suddenly stood up and approached her like a monster. He was a shadow of Concubine Fang's childhood.

It was her first time to experience the Zhang family's rules.

All her brothers and sisters surrounded her and watched her being beaten until her back was covered in blood and her skin was torn.

Although the mother tried to persuade him, the father said, "If you do that again, I will divorce you."

She stepped back, not daring to say another word.

At that time, Concubine Fang understood that all complaints that were not aimed at divorce were just a show of affection.

I wish them a long and happy marriage.

But when Concubine Fang came of age, the couple actually wanted to marry her to a playboy who had syphilis.

Just to give Boss Zhang a career.

What a joke! The guy who studies so hard and sleeps until noon every day may not even be able to recognize all the words.

What kind of career can there be?

Her weak mother said that she felt sorry for her, but she didn't dare to say a word against Zhang's father.

Just one sentence: "I'm afraid your father hates me. My dear Fang'er, please help your mother."

This made Concubine Fang feel powerless for a while.

The empress dowager had no choice but to bring her into the palace and make her a concubine when she found out about this.

Coming out of her memories, Concubine Fang sneered:

"Do you really think that I am coming back to visit my relatives this time to see you, to honor you, to tell you about the joy of family life, and to act out a love story?"

"It's a pity that the loving father and filial son, and the happy life between us, did not exist before, and will not exist now or in the future."

Mrs. Zhang choked up: "Fang'er..."

The maidservant beside Concubine Fang stepped forward and said, "Madam, you are overstepping your authority. The master is the emperor's consort, and you cannot address her by her name."

[That’s right, I thought I was a child that you could twist and roll at will! ]

Concubine Fang glanced helplessly at the little princess's angry face, and her heart seemed to calm down.

Mr. Zhang had a serious face, a typical feudal patriarch's look, which was quite intimidating.

"As parents, we cannot even call our daughter by her name. How foolish is that?"

The attendant glanced at Concubine Fang's expression, and seeing her nod slightly, he continued, "The teacher of the heaven and earth."

"The master is the ruler and you are the subjects, so filial piety naturally comes before filial piety."

After being humiliated again and again, Zhang's father finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore.

But he didn't say anything, and Mrs. Zhang became anxious: "Fang'er, you are being unfilial. How can you disobey your father?"

"We can go to the Dali Temple to sue you!"

[Oh my god, is this really my biological child? At this time, being unfilial is a serious crime.]

[A hat of disobedience is put on the child, and if the parents really sue, the child will go to jail].

【No one with any humanity would say such a thing.】

[My dad is still the best. He never scolds me even when I pee on his head~]

Concubine Fang almost couldn't maintain her expression and she coughed before she regained her composure.

Really... I can't imagine the calm and steady Majesty being peed on by a child.

After this interruption, the anger caused by being threatened by his love-minded mother almost dissipated.

Concubine Fang smiled calmly and even raised her teacup to toast them.

His expressionless expression frightened Mr. and Mrs. Zhang.

At this moment, she finally felt strange that her daughter, who was at their mercy, had changed.

If Concubine Fang had not married the emperor, she would have only held on to the rope of filial piety.

No matter what, she would agree to it under the pressure of these two old men.

But now it's different.

In the palace, maybe she is nothing in front of those real nobles, but when she returns to the Zhang family, she is the sky.

Although my mother was conferred the title of a first-rank lady, she was demoted to a commoner status after the empress dowager was murdered.
