Zhaoyue was originally bought from a human trafficker.
Her parents had no food to eat, so they sold her.
How could she have imagined that she would be where she is today?
For a moment I couldn't control my happiness.
"My aunt is taken care of by the old lady herself, and the child was also raised by the old lady..."
"Even if there's no chance to make my concubine my legitimate wife in the future, the child is almost as good as a legitimate son!"
Zhao Yue said a lot of gibberish.
I was also afraid that Zhu Xianyue would be annoyed by it.
She quickly said, "...I have spoken too much. Please punish me, Auntie."
"No need, I just like your open-mindedness."
People who are simple-minded are the easiest to get along with.
So even though Zhaoyue was not as capable as the other maids, Zhu Xianyue was willing to keep her by her side to serve her.
…
As spring goes and summer comes, Zhu Xianyue is already five months pregnant.
The abdomen is bulging.
It doesn't look like a five-month-old belly.
There was a lot of gossip in the mansion, saying that the baby in Zhu Xianyue's belly was not Lu Chengyuan's.
But everything that happens in the General's Mansion is under the watchful eyes of Old Lady Lu.
Old Madam Lu knew very well that Zhu Xianyue had only been with one man, Lu Chengyuan.
This child must be Lu Chengyuan's.
She believed it, but she was afraid that rumors would hurt Zhu Xianyue's child.
After a few gossipy servants were caned, the rumors died down.
But somehow this gust of wind blew into the palace.
Concubine Chang ordered Zhu Xianyue to enter the palace, and she wanted to say a few words to Zhu Xianyue.
…
"Ignorant bitch!"
"Disturbing the imperial order!"
"Heaven will not tolerate this!"
"Why doesn't God send down a thunderbolt to kill this chattering bitch!"
Who would have thought that the one who cursed was Madam Lu, the most dignified and steady lady in the General's Mansion.
The person being scolded was Concubine Chang of the Yu Dynasty!
"Old Madam, be careful with your words..."
"Be careful, you fucking donkey! I, Dong Yuerong, was personally appointed as a First-Rank Imperial Consort by the late Emperor. How could I be afraid of a foot-washing maid like her?!"
Concubine Chang was originally a foot-washing maid.
No father, no mother, and unknown.
I don’t know what the emperor likes about her.
Today, Concubine Chang is the most honorable woman in the Yu Dynasty.
Aunt Liu sent someone to close the doors and windows.
If other people knew about this, they would be beheaded!
But in this matter, Concubine Chang was indeed too overbearing.
Lu Chengyuan's body was gone, and the Lu family only had the child in Zhu Xianyue's belly as their only bloodline...
It's unknown whether it's a boy or a girl...
Concubine Chang was favored by the emperor again.
If the emperor dealt with Zhu Xianyue in the palace because he was displeased with her for some reason, he would just laugh it off.
Old Madam Lu did not allow Zhu Xianyue to enter the palace.
"Whatever she has, let her come after me, an old woman, and don't harm my great-grandson!"
Madam Lu’s voice was shrill.
Even Aunt Liu shed tears after hearing this.
If the monarch of the Yu Dynasty was not...
No! You can't have such disrespectful thoughts!
Nanny Liu quickly stopped herself.
But Zhu Xianyue would not agree to let Madam Lu go in her place.
Accompanying is not allowed either.
Concubine Chang was overbearing and insisted that Zhu Xianyue must enter the palace alone, and she could not even bring a maid with her.
"Madam, I have a way to escape."
"Xianyue, call me grandma."
Madam Lu reminded again.
Only Lu Chengyuan's legal wife could openly call the old lady "grandmother".
Mrs. Lu's action was to tell everyone in the mansion that in her heart, Zhu Xianyue was Lu Chengyuan's legal wife.
Zhu Xianyue's heart moved slightly.
"...Grandma, listen to me..."
Zhu Xianyue leaned over and whispered a few words.
Old Madam Lu was beaming with joy and prepared a sedan chair for Zhu Xianyue to enter the palace.
Aunt Liu was completely confused.
How come just a few words made the old lady feel relieved?
