Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

Dou Miaojin's face changed drastically. Only then did she realize that her marriage with Lu Changyuan was granted by the emperor.

"I heard that the marriage between my sister and Lu Changyuan was arranged by Lu Changyuan in front of the emperor and the empress. What a great honor it is. The emperor bestowed a wife upon her. This is the first time in the Mannan Chen. There are so many women in the world who are so foolish and want to replace the mistress. Who wouldn't envy my sister?

Why, sister, do you think having a second wife is bad now?"

Dou Jinzhao smiled sweetly, "If you think having a co-wife is not good, there is a way."

Dou Miaojin's face darkened as she asked, "Is there any solution? Humph, even if there is a solution, you won't tell me, right?"

"How could it be!" Dou Jinzhao raised his sleeves and said slowly, "Let Lu Changyuan go to the emperor again to ask for an imperial decree, and let the emperor issue another imperial decree to make my sister's concubine the legal wife."

"How can this be possible!" Dou Yi said angrily, "The Emperor is the supreme ruler, how could he go back on his word! Dou Jinzhao, do you think you are no longer the daughter of the Dou family? Do you want to put the Dou family to death now?"

Dou Jinzhao looked bewildered. "Why would father say that? I came up with this idea because I saw that Lu Changyuan loved my sister so much and would definitely not let her be his equal wife."

Madam Dou said angrily, "Jinzhao, don't talk nonsense!"

"Why, mother also thinks that my sister can only be a co-wife?" Dou Jinzhao blinked, "Although my sister was displaced when she was young and later grew up in a manor, she is still a member of the Dou family."

Dou Miaojin stood up like a firecracker, "Mother, even you think I can only be a concubine?"

Madam Dou had a headache. "Is this the time to talk about this?"

"Why not? In three days, I will be married to Brother Changyuan. Once I am married, I can only be a concubine. It is obvious that I am the one who is engaged to Brother Changyuan. It is obvious that I am the legal wife. Why should I give up this position to her? She is just a bastard. I am the legitimate eldest daughter of the Dou family."

Madam Dou pointed at Dou Miaojin, her fingers trembling, "You, you, you look like this, how can you be worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Dou family, you are so vulgar!"

Dou Miaojin's voice suddenly rose. "I am so vulgar, I am not worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Dou family. Okay, mother, tell me why I became like this? When I was found back then, you placed me in a farm outside the city. Were you afraid that I would bring shame to the Dou family?

I was kidnapped by the Xiliang people, and you didn't even look for me. Are you thinking that I will never come back? If it weren't for Brother Changyuan, I'm afraid you wouldn't even want me to show up in Shangjing City now."

Madam Dou's face flushed and she trembled all over. "You really don't have enough brains. You are so stupid!"

Dou Jinzhao's eyes drooped. His own biological daughter was told by her midwife that "she might have damaged her brain and will most likely become a moron", which made Dou Yi and his wife give up Dou Miaojin.

I wonder what Dou Miaojin will think after knowing the truth?

"My brain is not enough. If my brain was not enough, would I have thought of these things?"

Dou Miaojin's hysterical voice spread out. Lu Changyuan became anxious after hearing it and came to the door. "Father-in-law, have you discussed everything? Can I come in and listen?"

Dou Yi no longer wanted to expose his family's shame, so he had to agree at this moment. He did not dare to offend Lu Changyuan. "Duke, please come in. This happened suddenly. I am sorry for the delay. Please forgive me!"

"We are one family, so we shouldn't have different opinions!" Lu Changyuan stepped over the threshold and saw that Dou Jinzhao had a calm expression while Dou Miaojin was crying bitterly, as if the person with the problem in her life experience was Dou Miaojin. He frowned and his face was as gloomy as water.

Dou Miaojin threw herself into Lu Changyuan's arms, "Brother Changyuan, do you also think that I can only be a co-wife and not a legal wife?"

These are two different concepts, but at this moment, Lu Changyuan didn't know how to answer.

He put his arm around Dou Miaojin, "What's going on?"

Dou Yi observed the expression and said reluctantly, "Duke, we didn't expect that there would be any problems with Jin Zhao's background. Your mother-in-law and I are very worried now, and many things have not been clarified. If Jin Zhao is indeed not the daughter of the Dou family, it should be Miao Jin who has an engagement with you. Who could have known that such a mistake would happen!"

Dou Yi is an old fox. He did not say anything final and threw Dou Miaojin's problem to Lu Changyuan.

"What haven't you figured out? It's obvious that you just can't bear to part with Dou Jinzhao. You think she is the most suitable to be the eldest daughter of the Dou family. I am your biological daughter, but you just dislike me. I was replaced at birth. Isn't it your fault? You are sorry for me!" Dou Miaojin was in a bad mood.

Lu Changyuan's eyes were filled with dark clouds, and he looked terrifying. He put his arm around Dou Miaojin's waist and said, "Father-in-law, is what Miao'er said true?"

Dou Yi paused. He had never been accused like this before.

Madam Dou hurriedly said, "Changyuan, how can you say that? Even if Miao'er is not my biological daughter, how have I neglected her since she came back? In the beginning, I raised her on the farm for her own good. In terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, how have I treated her badly?"

"Yes, I haven't treated her unfairly! But compared to her, how can I compare? In the eyes of the world, she is the eldest daughter of the Dou family, and what am I? Who in Shangjing City recognizes me? Now, even you think that she is qualified to be Brother Changyuan's wife, and I can only be his concubine.

But I am the real eldest daughter of the Dou family. She stole my identity, my brother Chang Yuan, and everything that should have belonged to me."

If they could force their way out and postpone the wedding which was to take place in three days, Dou Miaojin would be willing to find a rope and hang herself to scare them.

Dou Jinzhao saw through Dou Miaojin's calculations and always felt that it was not unreasonable for Dou Yi and his wife to dislike Dou Miaojin. She was really not like a member of the Dou family. Her thoughts were written on her face and there seemed to be a hole in her brain.

"The Emperor has granted the marriage. Miao'er is my wife. The Dou family really owed her a lot. There are only two or three days left. I hope my father-in-law and mother-in-law will not mistreat her any more."

Lu Changyuan looked at Dou Jinzhao, "Jinzhao is nominally my wife, but now there is a problem with her background. Shouldn't my father-in-law and mother-in-law give me an explanation?"

"Brother Changyuan!" Dou Miaojin was unwilling. If Dou Jinzhao was not the daughter of the Dou family, then the legitimate wife should be her.

However, it was impossible for Lu Changyuan to ask the emperor to issue another decree for this matter. Doing so would only anger the emperor and would do more harm than good to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

However, if there is no legitimate wife, then Dou Miaojin, the concubine, will be the mistress of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

However, looking at Dou Jinzhao's bright and beautiful face, Lu Changyuan still felt reluctant to let her go.

He pressed Dou Miaojin's waist and asked her to calm down.

"Changyuan, we haven't found out the truth about this matter yet." Dou Yi said in embarrassment.

Dou Jinzhao finally spoke, "Father, please ask Aunt Qiu to come out and speak. Aunt Qiu was in charge when mother gave birth. She should know the whole story."
