With the status of Duke Song, if he wanted to take a concubine, even if she was reluctant, she would not disagree.
But Mrs. Song thought again of what Duke Song said today. It seemed as if he had already chosen a candidate.
The seed of doubt sprouted, and Mrs. Song decided to go and see it in person.
She disguised herself and went to the outer residence where the Duke of Song had just visited.
The night was about to get dark, but the Duke of Song had not yet left.
Mrs. Song didn't dare to go in either.
She just waited there.
Mrs. Song's premonition became worse and worse. At this time, what could a man and a woman do together?
Normally, Duke Song seldom comes home late, let alone this late, but today it seemed as if Duke Song had no intention of going back at all.
Mrs. Song waited for a long time, until the next morning, Duke Song came out.
Mrs. Song felt heartbroken.
The cold weather could not resist the chill in her heart.
The woman had a slender figure and looked very young. She saw Duke Song out. At this time, Mrs. Song also saw the woman's appearance. It turned out to be her own niece who had been widowed for five years!
Mrs. Song's heart was trembling. At this moment, many questions had answers.
Why didn't Duke Song welcome her into the mansion? Because of her special status, how could she be welcomed into the mansion?
Mrs. Song would not agree, and neither would Mrs. Song's family.
Mrs. Song tried her best to control herself and prevented herself from rushing forward.
After Duke Song left, Madam Song calmed down and then led her people in.
When Lu Xin saw Madam Song, her face turned pale. "Aunt, why are you here?"
"Why, shouldn't my aunt come?"
Mrs. Song looked at the furnishings in the room. They were finely carved and very elegant. The rosewood and gold-carved bed alone cost a lot of money.
She lifted Lu Xin's face and slapped her without saying a word. "A man who steals his own aunt is interesting, isn't he?"
"When did you start hooking up with the Duke?"
Lu Xin's face tilted to the side after being hit, but she quickly said, "Five years ago."
"You just became a widow five years ago, and you actually hooked up with him?" Mrs. Song couldn't believe it.
Lu Xin choked up and said, "Yes, Auntie should still remember five years ago when my husband died and I was kicked out of my home. I returned to the Lu family and begged them to take me in, but they refused to let me in."
"That day, my aunt and the Duke also went back. I begged my aunt to intercede for me, but she refused and even kicked me away."
"The Duke took pity on me, so he had me taken away and settled me down."
"My aunt knows that I am a weak woman. My family doesn't accept me, and my aunt doesn't help me. I can only rely on the Duke."
"I didn't want this to happen either. It was my aunt who didn't help me. She didn't take me, her niece, seriously. She even disliked me for bringing shame to the Lu family. What can I do?"
Five years ago, if Lu Xin hadn't said it, Mrs. Song would have almost forgotten it. But now, seeing Lu Xin using this as an excuse to pretend to be so innocent and weak, she couldn't help but think that maybe she had been seductive like this in front of Duke Song, and she couldn't help but feel angry.
Madam Song grabbed Lu Xin and started beating him, "I'll beat you to death, you little bitch! I let you seduce the Duke! You don't think the Duke really cares about you, do you?"
While protecting his face, Lu Xin continued, "The Duke said that my aunt's temper is getting weirder and she likes my gentle and kind personality, so the Duke should like me."
"My aunt can't serve the Duke, so I want to help her."
"It's better for the Duke to be with me than to find someone else, right?"
"Aunt, why do you have to do this?"
These words simply added fuel to the fire. Mrs. Song beat Lu Xin even harder, leaving her body covered in bruises.
Mrs. Song had vented her anger enough and said to Lu Xin, "If you have any sense, you'd better leave now, otherwise I'm afraid you may not be alive tomorrow."
Lu Xin was so scared that he dared not speak.
Mrs. Song felt that she had frightened the man, and she let out a sigh of relief, then took him away.
However, after Mrs. Song left, Lu Xin went to the inner room and felt that he did not have many wounds on his body, so he took out a dagger and slashed his arm.
She sent someone to call Duke Song, who came hurriedly after court. Lu Xin was covered in blood, and Duke Song was also shocked.
Duke Song quickly sent someone to call the doctor and went forward to embrace Lu Xin.
Lu Xin said, "Duke, this is bad. My aunt has discovered me."
"I explained to my aunt and took all the blame on myself, but I'm afraid she won't believe me. If she gets into a fight with the Duke, it will be bad for him."
Duke Song hurriedly asked, "Am I still afraid of her?"
"Don't say anything, bandage the wound first."
After Duke Song settled Lu Xin, he went home to find Madam Song.
Duke Song and Madam Song had a big fight, and Madam Song was so angry that she cried in her room for a whole day.
Mrs. Song went to the palace and cried to Queen Song: "Your father is really crazy. He actually wants to use a woman from outside..."
Only then did Queen Song know what Madam Song and Duke Song were planning.
"I dare not tell anyone about this, so I can only tell you. What do you think mother should do?"
Queen Song was shocked by Madam Song's boldness, but was also glad that she knew Madam Song's plan in advance. She would never let them succeed.
But when she looked at Mrs. Song at that moment, she felt faintly happy.
