In Nanyuan, Lin's bedroom, the lights were on all night, and Lin sat at the table all night.
The next morning, the maid informed Lan Xi of the incident, and she immediately went to Lin's bedroom and saw her sitting at the table, still wearing yesterday's clothes.
"Mom, why haven't you slept all night?" Lan Xi hurriedly brought a shawl and put it on Mrs. Lin, then massaged her stiff body, "Mom, no matter what, you can't bear the consequences of your own body. If you are sick at this time,
Well, I’m not sure how happy I am over there.”
Mrs. Lin took hold of the little hand that was massaging her, pulled Lan Xi to sit in front of her, looked at her daughter seriously, and whispered: "I have worked hard for so long to be the mistress, but at the last moment someone snatched her away.
Come on, how can I swallow this breath?"
"Mom, we have a long way to go, there is always a way." Seeing Lin's loneliness, Lan Xi couldn't help but comfort her with a few words.
"I finally made it to this point, but I fell short at the last moment. I was really stupid. I believed what your father said. I believed that it was Ji's pressure that prevented your father from correcting me." What Lin hated the most was that.
Mu Qingyang was so perfunctory, she asked herself that she had tried so hard for him, but she unexpectedly ended up like this.
Before, he locked her up in a darkroom and sent her to Beiyuan for the Xia family. She had swallowed all this. At least now that she was back, she knew what it meant to have a green mountain without worrying about having no firewood. But now he is like this.
So happy to renew their relationship, where will she put this concubine who has worked hard for him and Mu Mansion for so long?
"Mom, Lord Yu's daughter hasn't entered the house yet, so why should I worry?" Lan Xi frowned, always feeling that her mother looked at her in a strange way, making her feel like she was about to become a fish.
"If Master Yushi's daughter enters the Mu Mansion, will we still have our status? It doesn't matter that Hongjing is the eldest son. If it weren't for my mother's status in the mansion, do you think that the food and clothing expenses of you, the second young lady, can match the popularity?
Is it the same? Lan Xi, you still don’t understand why my mother wants to sit on the position of mistress?" Mrs. Lin squeezed Lan Xi's hand and said bitterly, "If you can't sit in that position, you will be in this position for the rest of your life.
She is a concubine and will be a dwarf all her life. She carries the title of a concubine and will always be looked down upon."
This is the case for Mrs. Lin. In the past, Mrs. Lin was a concubine. Because of her status as a concubine, even the servants did not take her seriously after arriving at Mu Mansion. Later, if Mrs. Ji had not died, she deliberately
Performance, how could the master let her take charge of the family, but she has been in charge of the family for many years, but the servants have never completely submitted to her. Why? It's because they still don't take her as a concubine in their eyes.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lan Xi wanted to withdraw her hand, but her mother's gaze on her was so intense that she became even more frightened.
"Lan Xi, you are my mother's biological daughter. My mother has been strict with you since you were a child. She just wants you to marry into a rich family and become the wife of a noble family that everyone admires." Lin's eyes were burning, Lan Xi was her last
Chips, she would never allow herself to admit defeat like this.
At this moment, Lan Xi finally understood what Lin meant. Was she going to exchange her marriage for her mother's status?
"No, I don't agree." Lan suddenly withdrew her hand, retreated far away, and looked at Mrs. Lin defensively, "Mom, I have told you a long time ago, who do I like, even if you are not willing to help?
I also ask you not to stop me."
"Are you crazy? Are you still thinking about Shen Yi?" Mrs. Lin also stood up, but after sitting all night, her legs were a little numb. She swayed but still sat down. Her fists were clenched, her delicate makeup had faded away after a night, and now it looked a little scary if she looked closely.
"Mom, I like him and I want to marry him. I won't marry anyone but him." Now that she had said it, Lan Xi simply said what was in her heart. She knew that if If she compromised today, her mother would really choose a marriage for her tomorrow and marry her off like that.
She would never give in, never allow her to sacrifice her happiness like this.
With a 'pop' sound, Mrs. Lin slapped Lan Xi's cheek. There were clear fingerprints on Lan Xi's fair face. She looked at Mrs. Lin in disbelief. Although Mrs. Lin was strict with her since she was a child, she never treated her harshly. Never hit her.
"The person Shen Yi is currently chasing after is Liu Yun. Everyone in Linyang City knows that it is only a matter of time before Liu Yun marries him. I have worked so hard to train you to be an adult, am I just asking you to go? As a concubine, you grew up under the pressure of Liuyun in the Mu Mansion. When you get to your husband's house, will you still be under her pressure for the rest of your life?" Mrs. Lin's face was full of hatred. She and Lan Xi had told Lan Xi many times not to do it again. She thought that Shen Yi was her eldest sister's man, but she still kept thinking about it till now, which really made her very angry.
"Why is it her? I am also my father's daughter. I am not as good as her in terms of looks and talents. Why can she marry Shen Yi but I can't?" Lan Xi was also angry. She was usually gentle and virtuous. She has disappeared for a long time. At this moment, she just wants to fight for herself.
"Don't you understand yet? Have everything I taught you since childhood been in vain? Shen Yi is not only marrying the eldest daughter of the richest man in Linyang City, but also the granddaughter of Ji's family, a powerful figure in the capital. Do you really think that Shen Yi is not a good person? Liuyun won't you marry? Don't be naive, a man's affection is just a means." Mrs. Lin grabbed her daughter's shoulders with both hands, hoping that she would wake up and stop being stuck in love. How can there be such a thing in the house? Much love.
Lan Xi took two steps back, tears slowly sliding down her cheeks. She had always believed that with her talent and beauty, Shen Yi would fall in love with her, but now she was struck speechless by her mother's words.
Is that so? Is this the reason why Shen Yi doesn't look at her? What she loses is not only her status as a concubine, but also her mother's family background. Her mother is right, the Lin family is just a businessman, and the Liu family is just a businessman. Yun's mother is the legitimate daughter of the powerful Ji family in the capital. She will never be able to possess such a glorious status.
But she hates that she is obviously better than Liu Yun, but she always succumbs to her. She is the eldest daughter, the daughter of the Ji family, she is a woman who is favored by three thousand people, but she clearly does not learn. Unskilled, pampered and domineering, why is it her?
"This matter is settled. I will choose a marriage for you as soon as possible. You will soon be born, and we will get engaged directly when the time comes." Firmness flashed in Mrs. Lin's eyes. She looked at her daughter's devastated expression and felt a slight tremor in her heart. It hurts, but no matter what, she can't let herself lose here. She has worked hard for so long, and for Hongjing's future, she will never allow others to take away everything that belongs to them.
