Mrs. Lu's suppressed and forbearing sobs could not help but burst out from her mouth.

"Old lady, my husband is gone, and my only daughter is gone too. Guarding this huge mansion is nothing more than a cage to me. What's the point of it?"

"Don't I live this way too?" Mrs. Lu's voice softened.

"How can they be the same? How old is my Ruoyan?"

"At least you still have someone to look after you, but what about me, old lady? I have nothing." Mrs. Lu cried out in agony.

Mrs. Lu sighed, "You still have the Hou Mansion."

"No one is left in the Hou Mansion. What's the point of guarding an empty shell?" Mrs. Lu said hysterically.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have let Ruoyan get involved in this. We, mother and daughter, can live a peaceful life. What's the point of living in a mansion? Human life is not important. Old lady, she is your granddaughter, not a pawn in your hands."

"That's her own fault. I didn't ask her to go to Prince Duan's Mansion."

Old Mrs. Lu also felt distressed. She was used to treating people as wives, but she had never thought of taking advantage of this granddaughter before.

Mrs. Lu turned to look at Lu Seyan. She had to find the culprit for her daughter's death.

"It's you. If it weren't for you, how could my Ruoyan die? Why wasn't you the one who died?" Mrs. Lu pounced towards Lu Seyan, but Lu Seyan dodged her nimbly.

And Bai Huiru would naturally not let her daughter get hurt.

She was even a little secretly delighted.

Lu Ruoyan died, and her daughter was the only bloodline of the Hou family. She had complained before about giving birth to a daughter, but now everything is fine.

So what if she is a daughter? She will be the future mistress of this mansion.

Sad, Bai Huiru was not sad at all, she was even very happy.

I just don’t know when the old lady will die, and then the Hou Mansion will belong to them and their daughter.

"Big sister, what are you doing? The eldest lady is dead, what does it have to do with us Se Yan? Do you want to hurt the only bloodline of the Hou Mansion?"

Bai Huiru said sarcastically, "You are the wife of the Hou Mansion. You should make plans for the Hou Mansion. What are you going to do? Even though I am from the countryside, I know that we should put the overall situation first. Why don't you understand this principle?"

Old Madam Lu frowned when she heard Bai Huiru talking, but what she said this time was not so unpleasant.

"Yes, don't we still have Se Yan? Since she is registered under your name, she is also your daughter and you can rely on her in the future."

"She is not my child, so did my Ruoyan die in vain?"

Mrs. Lu was a little angry. "What else can we do? Can you still bring her back to life?"

"Mother~"

"Well, it's our mansion that's not as good as it used to be. We don't even have anyone to back us up. Blame me, blame me, okay?"

Mrs. Lu felt hatred and resentment in her heart, but she couldn't express it. She just glared at Lu Seyan and her daughter hatefully.

She always felt that the current situation in the Hou Mansion was caused by the two of them.

Before the time for condolences came, Old Lady Lu brought Mrs. Lu over.

After all, Lu Seyan is still an unmarried girl and is not suitable to take care of these things. Besides, someone has to take care of the Hou Mansion because there will be more people coming to the Mansion.

As soon as the old lady and Mrs. Lu left, Bai Huiru showed her mean face.

"My daughter, God is helping me. Once Lu Ruoyan dies, you will be the only bloodline of the Hou Mansion. What does it matter if you are the legitimate child or the illegitimate child? Her legitimate child will not survive a short life."

Lu Seyan frowned slightly, "Speak softly, don't let anyone hear it."

"What are you afraid of? This is the Hou Mansion, our home. If they hear it, will they tell others about it?"

The servants were so frightened that they lowered their heads and walked away, or pretended they heard nothing.

"Then you should also be more restrained and not let others see anything."

"I know, I know." Bai Huiru said impatiently, "Seyan, mother has finally made it. Once the old lady dies, you will have the final say in this family."

"Mom, stop talking."

"What are you afraid of?" Bai Huiru saw that the servants had left. "Don't worry, mother has a way and will never dirty your hands."

"Don't mess around."

"Oh, I know what's going on."

Bai Huiru curled her lips. She couldn't wait to become the mistress of Hou Mansion.

After more than ten years of humiliation, she finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

If it weren't for these two guys, I would have entered the Marquis's Mansion long ago. Would I have to become a concubine?

Damn old lady, you despised me so much before, but now you still have to rely on me, the daughter born by this lowly thing in her words, to support the family?

Bai Huiru really wanted to laugh out loud, "Seyan, from now on the Hou Mansion will be ours, we can do whatever we want."

"Hou Mansion?" Lu Seyan sneered. She was not satisfied with just a Hou Mansion.

What she wanted was to climb to the highest place, stand there and look down on the world.

"Yes, tomorrow, tomorrow we will find a way to ask the old lady for the right to manage the house."

"Can you manage the household?"

Bai Huiru smiled awkwardly, "Of course I can't do it, don't I still have you?"

"I...I won't stay in this house for long."

"What do you mean?" Bai Huiru asked.

However, Lu Seyan was afraid that her mother would gossip and say nonsense. "It's nothing. You can't manage the household. What do you want the right to manage the household? I will get married sooner or later."

What she said made sense, and Bai Huiru didn't think much about it.

But Lu Seyan knew that this time when Madam Lu went to Prince Rui's Mansion, Wen Chun would talk to her about the affairs of the two families.

She didn't need to do anything but wait.

"What? You said you want Se Yan to marry you?" Old Madam Lu didn't expect Prince Rui to bring up this matter at this time.

Wen Chun smiled coldly, "Don't you want to, old lady?"

"But if Yan Gang died."

"This prince misses his concubine, treats her sister well, and keeps her by his side. This is also very appropriate. Besides, there are many families like this in the capital, right?"

When the elder sister dies, the younger sister will come to be the concubine, even in the palace.

"Se Yan... may not agree." said Madam Lu.

She remembered what Lu Seyan said: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

"If the old lady agrees, then it won't be a problem."

She looked at Wen Chun's determined expression. Could it be that... the two of them had already discussed it?

"I want to ask Prince Rui about Ruoyan's death..."

"Madam, I don't care how she came, and you don't care how she left. The two families will continue to interact. Otherwise, there will be a knot in your heart. How do you think you can get along in the future?"

Old Madam Lu knew clearly that his granddaughter's death was definitely related to him.

But he was right.

But then she thought that both Hou Fu and she only had one chess piece left in their hands, so she had to be more cautious.

"Besides this prince, does the old lady have any other candidates?"
