Under the respectful guidance of the servant, Qin Suyu stepped lightly into the residence of Old Madam Qin.

The room was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, and the antique furniture looked solemn and elegant under the dim candlelight.

In order to create an image of purity and innocence, Qin Suyu specially chose a snow-white gauze dress. The hem of the skirt fluttered in the wind like a blooming white lotus.

However, to those who didn't know the situation, her attire looked heavy, as if she was in mourning.

But Qin Suyu didn't care about it. What she pursued was the poetic and picturesque beauty.

The belt tightly wraps around her slender waist, outlining her graceful curves, and the fullness of her chest is even more eye-catching.

Her face was like the petals of a newly blossoming white lotus, and the two strands of hair on her temples danced in the wind, adding a bit of charm and fragility.

Qin Suling looked at Qin Suyu from the side, with a scornful smile on his lips.

She shook her head secretly in her heart. The women in the capital, even the daughters of ordinary families, would never show off their body curves so deliberately, let alone appear in front of others in such a posture.

Qin Suling believes that women should respect themselves and love themselves in order to win the respect of others.

Qin Suyu glanced secretly at Qin Suling, and couldn't help feeling an indescribable jealousy in her heart.

She prided herself on being aloof and noble, and looked down upon those women in the world who wore heavy makeup. But facing Qin Suling at this moment, she felt as if she was outdone.

Qin Suling was fair-skinned and beautiful, and her loose apricot-colored long skirt with Sichuan embroidery only highlighted her noble temperament.

Every gesture and movement exudes a calm elegance.

Qin Suyu looked at Qin Suling's undecorated but still stunning face, and her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.

Those clear eyes, those rosy lips, those delicate facial features...

Every aspect made her feel inferior.

Especially when Qin Suling raised her hand, the looming proud figure made her unable to look directly at it.

Qin Suyu felt a surge of resentment and resentment in her heart.

She thought to herself: If I could be born into a prestigious family like the Qin family, I would definitely be better than Qin Suling!

But the reality was cruel. She could only step forward hesitantly and bow to Old Madam Qin, Qin Shizhao, and Fang Rushuang, saying, "Greetings, Grandmother, Father, and Mother."

There was a hint of trembling and uneasiness in her voice, as if she was telling of the fear and inferiority in her heart.

Fang Rushuang hurried forward and gently helped Qin Suyu up, her eyes full of concern: "Yu'er, are you still okay? How did you get up so suddenly? You must take good care of yourself in the next few days, and don't let your body suffer any more injustices."

Qin Suyu raised her head slightly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, but she still nodded obediently, as if she believed in Rushuang's words.

Old Madam Qin sat aside, her eyes wandering between Qin Suling and Qin Suyu, and finally sighed, shook her head and said: "I am a little tired of today's affairs. Since there is nothing else, you can all leave."

Fang Rushuang heard this but did not agree immediately. Instead, she stepped forward and held Madam Qin's hand tightly, with a firm look in her eyes: "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law still has something to ask. When the emperor granted us the marriage, my husband agreed without hesitation and even sent the ancestral jade ring to our Fang family. At that time, I knew that my husband really wanted to spend his life with me. Now, although I know that my husband has a concubine and Ling'er is the daughter of that concubine, since she is the love of my husband's heart, how can I bear to let her wander outside? It would be better to choose a day to bring her into the Qin family and take her as a concubine, so that she can have a status."

When Qin Suling heard this, her face turned pale instantly and she bit her lips so hard that they were almost bleeding.

She knew in her heart that Fang Rushuang's words were just an attempt to lure the amnesiac and confused Princess Yuxiu into the Qin residence and then find an opportunity to harm her.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Qin laughed and said, "Daughter-in-law, I am very pleased that you are so generous. Ling'er, why don't you thank your stepmother?"

Qin Suling gritted her teeth, turned around and knelt in front of Old Madam Qin, tears falling like pearls from a broken string: "Grandma, my mother...doesn't want to be a concubine!"

Qin Shizhao stood aside, feeling a little flustered.

He originally planned to make Fang Rushuang his principal wife and his mistress his concubine, but Fang Rushuang had been refusing to give in over the past few days. He thought that Fang Rushuang loved him too much and was unwilling to give up her position as principal wife.

But now, Fang Rushuang suddenly changed her mind, which made him a little confused.

Fang Rushuang looked at Qin Suling and felt extremely happy.

Of course she knew that Qin Suling didn't want her mother to be a concubine, but what she wanted was for that bitch to be a concubine, and a concubine who would be stigmatized for the rest of her life!

Madam Qin looked at Qin Suling, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Your mother doesn't want to be a concubine? Then what does she want to do? What can she do?"

Qin Suling's face turned even paler, tears welled up like a spring. She raised her head stubbornly, her voice trembling a little: "My mother has been staying at the manor for more than ten years, so let her stay there."

Fang Rushuang smiled faintly when she heard this: "Oh? Do you want your father to marry your mother as his legal wife?"

Qin Suling was speechless after being asked this question, her face flushed red, but her heart was surging.

She knew that the fight had just begun.

To Qin Suling, Fang Rushang's smile was like frost in the cold winter, cold and ruthless.

She gently patted the back of Madam Qin's hand, and said with a bit of helplessness in her tone: "Mother-in-law, Ling'er is still young and doesn't know how to speak properly. Please don't argue with her."

Madam Qin nodded slightly, her eyes wandering between Qin Suling and Fang Rushuang, and finally landing on Qin Shizhao: "Shizhao, what do you think about this?"

When Qin Shizhao was asked, he felt mixed emotions.

Of course he didn't want his concubine to become his main wife, but Fang Rushang's proposal made him feel embarrassed.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Mother, this matter needs to be considered carefully. After all, Ling'er's mother has been in the manor for so many years, and it might be inappropriate to suddenly bring her into the mansion."

Fang Rushuang's eyes flashed with displeasure when she heard this, but she quickly concealed it and said softly, "My husband is right, but Ling'er's mother has been wandering outside for many years, which is pitiful. If you don't give her a name, I'm afraid she will feel resentful."

Madam Qin sighed and said, "This matter is indeed difficult. Let's discuss it later."

Qin Shizhao and Fang Rushuang both nodded in agreement when they heard this.

Qin Suling's heart tightened, she knew that this was just a temporary expedient and Fang Rushang's ambition went far beyond this.

Madam Qin looked at Qin Suyu again, and seeing that she looked pale, she said, "Yu'er, you are weak, you should go back and rest."

Qin Suyu nodded obediently and was helped back to the room by Fang Rushuang.

Qin Suling gritted her teeth and swore secretly in her heart that she must protect herself and her mother and never let Fang Rushuang's conspiracy succeed.
