Aunt Lin was overjoyed. She supported herself with her hands and stood up with all her might.

"Rou'er is finally back." She shivered and muttered to herself, her eyes full of joy.

As soon as Fang Zhirou ran into the house, she saw Aunt Lin walking towards her supported by a maid.

The originally delicate face seemed to have aged a few years in an instant.

He was wearing coarse linen clothes.

"Mom, why did you become like this?" Fang Zhirou was surprised.

Aunt Lin started to cry when she was mentioned by her, "Rou'er, if you don't come out, Aunt Lin will die soon."

"Mom, Caiwei said that you were beaten by Dad. What happened?"

Aunt Lin told Fang Zhirou everything, and Fang Zhirou's eyes gradually revealed resentment.

The joy that I had originally felt was gone.

"Why would the doctor from Chunshengtang come to treat grandma out of the blue? Don't you find it strange?"

"Doctor Qiu usually sees patients in the pharmacy. Why would he come to our Shangshu Mansion if he has nothing to do?"

Aunt Lin didn't have time to think much before, and after she was beaten, she was filled with resentment.

After hearing what her daughter said, she suddenly realized.

"We've been set up!"

"Zhou!" She gritted her teeth.

Fang Zhirou pulled Aunt Lin over and carefully sat on the chair, "By the way, mother, why did the eldest lady get divorced?"

"Humph, that bitch can't get your father's love, so isn't that why you're getting divorced?"

"Now that the first lady is gone, I am the mistress of the mansion."

"After a few days, I will go and coax the old lady to make me the legitimate wife." Aunt Lin patted the back of Fang Zhirou's hand and said, "Don't worry, the most important thing now is your marriage."

"It's already September. After the New Year, you will be of age. It would be the best if you could marry the prince."

Fang Zhirou recalled the scene of their meeting on the street that day, and the time when he secretly asked someone to send her back during the poetry reading.

Be sure of his love for you.

"Mom, don't worry, my daughter will definitely become the Crown Princess. That will be the time for us to be proud of ourselves."

Aunt Lin clapped her hands and cheered, "Good, that's good."

The Crown Princess is the future Queen.

She can be a model for the world!

"Oh no, Madam, the master was beaten outside."

The maid at the door walked in hurriedly.

Minister Fang hadn't come to see her once during these days.

Now that she heard that he had been beaten, Aunt Lin felt relieved!

But he remained calm and asked, "What's going on?"

"A group of people are chasing me back to my house. I am like a rat crossing the street. The people are still cursing at the door."

Fang Zhirou and Aunt Lin looked at each other and said, "Rou'er, even though the master beat me, I am still the second wife of the mansion. Help me go and see."

"Yes, mother."

When Minister Fang came back, his body was covered with vegetable leaves and eggs.

He happened to meet many colleagues who were leaving the court, and was seen clearly. Some of those who did not get along with him even whistled at him.

Even the beggars on the street were laughing.

"This group of ungrateful bastards, the Japanese officials have always given them many benefits, but now they are actually taking advantage of their misfortunes."

Minister Fang was so angry that he threw his outer robe to the ground, scaring the maidservants beside him so much that they didn't dare to look up.

Aunt Lin came over tremblingly with the support of Fang Zhirou. When she saw Shangshu Fang's miserable body, with not a single spot on it left, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

"Master, what happened? How did it become like this?"

The people at the door kept cursing, which made Minister Fang still angry.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Don't you have eyes to see?"

Aunt Lin shuddered at being scolded: "Master, I am asking you out of kindness."

"Good intentions?" Minister Fang was angry: "I think you are just like those common people, coming to laugh at me."

"You lied to me about your pregnancy and now you come here with bad intentions!"

After her inner thoughts were revealed, Aunt Lin felt a little guilty, "How could that be? Master, I really feel sorry for you."

"What are you talking about, sister? I'm not feeling well now, so please don't come out."

Aunt Liu came out from the back door of the front hall, holding a piece of clothing in her hand: "Master, please change your clothes. They are wet and you might catch a cold."

Minister Fang looked at Aunt Liu's delicate face, and his anger subsided a lot. "Aunt Liu is thoughtful."

He took the clothes handed to him by Aunt Liu and went to change behind the screen.

Aunt Liu walked over slowly and looked Aunt Lin up and down.

"Sister, now that the eldest lady is not at home, there is no one to take care of the master's affairs. I can't bear it, so I come to serve the master. You won't be angry, right?"

"You!" Aunt Lin was so angry that she wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Fang Zhirou.

Fang Zhirou shook her head.

Aunt Lin just gave up: "Humph."

"Madame Liu is also my father's concubine, so she can naturally serve my father."

Aunt Liu smiled and touched the bun on her head, "Second Miss is still very discerning."

"However, Aunt Liu, my mother and father gave birth to two children, so their contribution is greater. Do you understand, Aunt Liu?" Fang Zhirou chuckled.

Aunt Liu's expression turned cold when she thought of her lost child.

"If you can't have a baby, don't try to be stubborn, Madam. Don't you agree?"

"Humph, who can't have children?" Aunt Lin was already annoyed with her, and now seeing that she was trying to add insult to injury, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

Aunt Liu covered her mouth and giggled, "Aunt Lin, are you tired from all the hard work these days?"

"Now that my body is damaged, it's hard to say what will happen in the future."

"My sister is young and energetic. She still has a slight advantage over the Second Madam." Aunt Liu sneered, her face full of disdain.

"Madam Liu is young and energetic. It will take another year for you to get pregnant, right? Besides, Madam Liu is not much younger than me. By the time the child is 16 and reaches the age of marriage, she will be over , right?"

When two tigers fight, there must be one injury.

The maids standing nearby were all terrified.

Fang Zhirou wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw Minister Fang coming out, she pulled Aunt Lin's sleeve.

"Madam Liu, you are so thoughtful. This dress fits me perfectly. Where did you get it?"

Aunt Liu twisted her waist and turned around: "Master, this dress fits you perfectly. This dress was bought with the money I earned from embroidery these days."

She did it on purpose to annoy Aunt Lin.

She was beaten so badly that she couldn't get out of bed, so she was leisurely embroidering.

If she hadn't caused the loss of the baby in her womb, how could she have ended up in such a state?

If she had a child with her, she wouldn't be lonely at night.

"Thank you for your kindness, Aunt Liu. I will go to your place to rest tonight. You must wait for me."

"Yes, sir." Aunt Liu raised her eyebrows.

Aunt Lin glared at Aunt Liu fiercely.

When Fang Zhirou saw the current situation in the mansion, she realized that her mother's position was now precarious.

No, she couldn't just give up like this, she had to take the initiative.

After returning to the yard, Fang Zhirou asked Caiwei to prepare pen and ink.

The next day.

The prince looked at the contents of the letter and looked happy.

He didn't expect that Fang Zhirou would remember him after so many days.

knock knock knock.

"Come in."

"Prince." The man in black knelt on one knee.

The prince put away the letter in his hand and looked up at the man in black, "How is it?"

"Prince, I have already got it, please take a look."

The man in black took out a scroll of portrait from his arms and handed it to the prince with both hands.

The prince took it with one hand.

He wanted to see, such an ugly woman, the queen mother...

The scroll was spread out, and the expression of disgust that had originally appeared on his face suddenly shrank.

There was uncertainty and disbelief in his pupils.
