Wei Shi was a qualified concubine for a concubine's son. She was a bit reserved when she first entered the mansion, but over time, under the guidance of Xu Wen and Hai Shi, she gradually became able to handle things on her own.
After Sheng Qian passed the imperial examination and was appointed as an official, Wei followed Sheng Qian to Dengzhou to take up his post and managed the business there well.
As for the daughter of the Wang family, she married into the mansion of Duke Zhou, was loved by her husband, and lived in harmony.
In Sheng Xian's previous life, Lin Qinshuang, Sheng Xian's favorite concubine, stayed with Molan in the Nuguan for three years, and then returned to Prince Wen's Mansion. When she was ten years old, she was adopted as the old princess's goddaughter.
The emperor's position was secure, and there was no struggle for succession as in previous generations. The Lin family was not penalized for taking sides. After more than a decade of hard work, Lin's father had become a fourth-rank official.
When Lin Qinshuang was twelve years old, she was betrothed to the second son of the Xinyang Marquis by the old princess, and she just got married two years ago.
Over the past ten years, the old princess gave Lin Qinshuang advice from time to time, and with Molan watching from the side, Lin Qinshuang did not grow up to be as selfish as she was in her previous life.
After Lin Qinshuang got married, Molan and the old princess returned to the nunnery to practice asceticism. A year ago, the old princess died of illness. Before her death, she saw the son born to Lin Qinshuang and passed away without any regrets.
Lin Qinshuang was already well-versed in poetry and prose, and later learned the rules and etiquette of the household. After marrying into the Xinyang Marquisate, she was deeply loved by her husband. However, her good times didn't last long, as he began taking concubines.
This concubine was a complete idiot, crying all the time, and Lin Qinshuang was miserable. It was not until Molan found out that she sent a maid to deal with her.
However, Lin Qinshuang's husband was very protective of the concubine, claiming that she was weak and unable to take care of herself, and if she was sold, she would probably die.
Molan never expected that in her new life, her status as a concubine would be reversed. In the past, her status as a concubine was weak and helpless, and her status as a tigress was her. Now, she had become the wife, and met the same favored concubine as her previous life.
I don’t know if this is karma or God testing Molan again.
Already in her middle age, Molan had no intention of remarrying. The Prince Wen Mansion had become a Princess's Mansion by Molan's generation, and when Princess Molan passed away, the Princess's Mansion would be taken back by the royal family.
Seeing the young lady crying so sadly, Molan was lost in thought as she stammered to comfort her, "Xiaoliang, all men in the world are unfaithful. If your husband treats you badly, you must find a way to keep your dowry and money. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Xinyang Marquis' Mansion won't dare bully you."
Lin Qinshuang wiped the tears from her face and asked with a sob, "Princess, what should I do with my child?"
Yes, the Marquis of Xinyang was not like Molan's father in her previous life, Sheng Qian. No matter how good he was to his wife, or how much he doted on her and her brother Changfeng, he would still care about the lives of his legitimate sons and daughters. The Marquis of Xinyang was like other men, doting on his concubines and leaving his legitimate sons aside.
Molan thought about what the Marquis of Xin had said today and felt that she couldn't do anything openly. She remembered the jade token she had made in the past. The Marquis of Ningyuan later returned the jade token to Molan. Molan had a servant take it and put it back in the box. In all these years, she had never looked at it again.
The thought of harming someone arose in his mind but was quickly put aside. However, he looked up at the sad face of the young lady and hardened his heart again.
