"Madam, the prince is a lucky person, nothing will happen to him. The soldiers are still looking for him, don't worry."
The lady is Mrs. Xue, wife of Marquis Huayang.
The Huayang Marquis's mansion has few descendants. After he turned fifty, there are only two sons in the mansion. One is the eldest son Hua Jiqian, born to the lady, and the other is the second son Hua Yufan, born to Aunt Yue.
If anything happens to the prince, Madam’s situation will be very bad.
Xue managed to calm down, and was comforted by Nanny Kong as she went into the house. She remembered that Qian'er said that she would be back in a month or so, but it had been two months, so she was afraid that the baby would not be back.
Her heart was in a state of anxiety and she was soon bedridden.
…
"Hehe, son, God has opened his eyes. Our mother and I have finally found our luck... hehe."
As soon as Tu Yufan came over, he heard an unpleasant laugh, as hoarse and sharp as the sound of cutting wood.
He forced his eyes open and saw a heavily made-up woman standing by his bed with a smug look on her face.
"Son, I have good news for you. Something has happened to the prince. I heard that we have been looking for him for a month and there is no trace of him. I guess he is dead. You are my only son now, so the position of prince will fall to you!"
The woman opened her bloody mouth, unable to suppress the smile on her lips. Tu Yufan said calmly: "I know, I'm sweating and want to go wash up."
The woman was so proud that she didn't notice anything wrong with Tu Yufan's expression. She just put the handkerchief to her lips and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, Auntie will go first. You have to come over when you are free."
Tu Yufan looked around. The house was filled with furniture with intricate and exquisite patterns. It looked like the family was either wealthy or noble.
Thinking of the prince that the woman mentioned, that must be a family of power and nobility.
"Plot."
…
The original owner was the illegitimate son of Marquis Huayang. Marquis Huayang married a wife a long time ago, but before they had a few days of intimacy, he went to the battlefield. He fought through life and death several times on the battlefield, and finally returned with great military merit. However, he also suffered a lot of hidden injuries, so he had no children for a long time. Slowly, when he was thirty years old, they discussed adopting a child, and suddenly they had a legitimate son, Hua Jiqian.
That is the male protagonist.
Xue didn't like these concubines. She allowed them into the house because she couldn't give birth to a son. Now that she had a legitimate son, she gave the obedient ones sterile soup, and sold the restless ones by finding faults with them.
Aunt Yue happened to be the restless type. As soon as the Marquis came back from the battlefield, she took the opportunity to climb into his bed and became a concubine from a maid.
At that time, the status of the Xue family was still unstable, so they kept silent, but they were already gnashing with hatred in their hearts.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Aunt Yue once again schemed to get into bed with the old man. When Mrs. Xue was about to sell her off, she happened to become pregnant.
As luck would have it, the Marquis would keep her for the sake of the child. After that, she became the Marquis' concubine, now known as Aunt Yue.
The original owner, Xue's indulgence, turned into an unlearned and unskillful dandy. However, Hua Jiqian was intelligent and calm, and was praised by everyone in the capital as a jade-like young man.
If nothing unexpected happens, the hero will smoothly inherit the Marquis' Mansion. The original owner was a playboy, and lived his life in a daze relying on the family property he got.
However, everything changed when the male protagonist disappeared.
There will definitely be no problem with the male protagonist, he comes here mainly to meet the female protagonist.
