"Zhu Xianyue! Our General's Mansion has raised you for so many years, and this is how you repay us??"
"Wanwan has suffered so much injustice in the palace, why don't you help her?"
[I want to strike first and scare Zhu Xianyue. Zhu Xianyue is just a teenage girl, how can she fight me?]
Zhu Xianyue pondered Madam Zhu's thoughts and asked, "Mother, may I ask what you want me to do to satisfy you?"
"Of course, you will manage the palace's internal affairs and your dowry farm, and then give your reputation as a virtuous woman to Wanwan, saying that it was Wanwan who took care of everything. After that, you will have another child and give it to Wanwan to raise."
"You'd better not acknowledge this child, so as not to make him suspicious. Otherwise... when you are pregnant, have Wanwan pretend to be pregnant. When you give birth, give the child to Wanwan and say that it is Wanwan's. And your own child died due to complications during childbirth."
Mrs. Zhu is very outspoken.
Because she is Zhu Xianyue's nominal mother.
She raised her to this age, so it's only right that she gets some compensation from her.
It is true that the General's Mansion raised the original owner, and Zhu Xianyue would naturally repay them.
Even if Mrs. Zhu favors her own daughter to the point of being irrational, it cannot change the fact that the original owner was raised by them.
If it weren't for General Zhu and Madam Zhu, the original owner would not have enjoyed the teachings of the female teacher and the nanny, and would not have become famous in the capital at such a young age.
But, there are thousands of ways to repay a favor.
"Mother, I'm very grateful to you, but I won't give anything that belongs to me to my sister. Whether it's the reputation of the head of the family or my own children."
Zhu Xianyue stood up, bowed to her, and said, "Mother, I'm sorry."
"Zhu Xianyue!"
Mrs. Zhu was so angry that she raised her hand, and it was about to fall on Zhu Xianyue's face.
At the critical moment, Zhu Wanwan called her.
"Mother, please don't hit my sister! If my sister gets hurt on the face, how are we going to explain it to the prince?"
Only then did Mrs. Zhu withdraw her hand.
"Look at how sensible your sister is! And look at you!"
"You're truly a worthless creature, born of a lowly person. Just as despicable as your shameless mother!"
Mrs. Zhu blamed her for the original owner's mother's daughter-swap incident.
The original owner's mother did change the two babies in swaddling clothes in order to make her daughter's life better.
She was punished for this and is still in prison.
But what did this have to do with her? She was also a fragile baby at the time. Did she have any choice?
And she grew up to be the model of a lady of a wealthy family today thanks to the original owner's own efforts and the teacher's careful teaching. Mrs. Zhu did not take it too seriously.
"Mother, my sister defecated and farted in front of the prince, and has already caused the prince to be disgusted."
"Also...back in Baihua Deep, it was me, not my sister, who saved the prince's life. Now the prince knows about it."
"If my sister wasn't your biological daughter, do you think... based on these two things, she would still have a place in the palace?"
"Mother, the prosperity of the General's Mansion can only be maintained by me. You have lived for most of your life and have walked more bridges than I have walked roads. You will definitely understand what I mean."
"I'm a little tired from serving you these past few days, so I won't bother you here anymore. I'll go downstairs and rest first."
After he finished speaking, Zhu Xianyue bowed and turned away without waiting for Madam Zhu's reply.
