If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

In just half a day, Shen Sui'an had someone find out about Aunt Cheng's past.

The Cheng family has three daughters and one son. The eldest daughter is Aunt Cheng who married into the Shen family. The second daughter has married a student of Cheng's father and does not live in Shangjing City.

The one with the most outstanding appearance is the youngest daughter, now Aunt Cheng in the Lu family.

Aunt Xiao Cheng had watched her sister live a pampered life in the Shen family since she was a child. She felt that with her looks, she would definitely be able to marry into a wealthy family. Even if she couldn't become the principal wife, it would be worth it to be a favored concubine.

She envied her elder sister who could call the shots in the Shen family and act like the first wife.

So she picked and picked but couldn't find one that suited her taste. Finally, she reluctantly found the son of a ninth-rank official. However, just after the marriage proposal, her fiancé died in an accident.

Her marriage was delayed for another two years.

Later, she heard that the Lu family was looking for a good concubine for Mr. Lu. She bribed the matchmaker, met Mrs. Lu by chance, and successfully became Mr. Lu's concubine.

"..." After hearing the news that Fuqiu had found out, Shen Suian really didn't know how to comment.

"Why is the Cheng family so eager to give their daughter to someone as a concubine?" Ban Jian muttered in a low voice.

Shen Sui'an said calmly, "After tasting the sweetness, she thought all concubines could be as favored as Aunt Cheng."

"Hasn't young Concubine Cheng seen what happened to Concubine Cheng now?" No matter how favored she is, she is still under house arrest.

"People always have blind confidence in themselves. Aunt Cheng probably thinks she is smarter." Shen Sui'an said.

We only met once today, but I can already tell that Aunt Cheng is not a person who keeps to herself. Her behavior is exactly the same as her sister's.

If the eldest wife was still in the Duke's Mansion, Concubine Cheng would probably be dealt with within three days.

Now, as long as Aunt Cheng can please Old Madam Lu, she will surely live a happy life in the Duke's Mansion.

Judging from her attitude towards the old lady today, it is obvious that she also knows how to survive in the Lu family.

"Ever since Aunt Cheng was put under house arrest, the Cheng family has finally quieted down. Otherwise, Aunt Cheng's eldest brother and nephew would have come to our store time and time again to extort money, and would have regarded all the property of the Shen family as their own." Ban Jian snorted.

It's all because of Shen Jianglin's spoiling.

Now Shen Jianglin has been exiled, Aunt Cheng has been under house arrest, and they lost a large sum of money because of the tea issue before. The Cheng family must have been affected.

I guess he's still holding his breath, thinking that Aunt Cheng can make a comeback.

"Madam, Aunt Cheng wants to see you." Mu Jin came in with her head lowered and said in a low voice.

Shen Sui'an raised his eyebrows, "What is she doing here?"

"Let her in."

From now on, I will have to see this concubine Cheng every day. If she really gives birth to another child, the Duke's Mansion will definitely be more lively.

"Ningshuang, remember to tell the news of Aunt Cheng's marriage to the Bai family and let Madam know." Shen Sui'an ordered in a low voice.

"Isn't the madam unconscious?" asked Banjian doubtfully.

Shen Sui'an smiled. Whether he was really unconscious or not, only Mrs. Lu knew it best. Anyway, she had to know the news she needed to know.

Aunt Cheng's frail figure appeared at the door and she bowed gracefully.

"Sui Sui, the last time I saw you, you were only ten years old. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye you have become the eldest lady of the Lu family." Aunt Cheng said with a smile.

Shen Sui'an glanced at her and said, "Auntie Cheng, don't you need to serve the old lady? What do you want from me?"

"We are all relatives, and now we are a family. We are already close relatives. We should help each other every year." Aunt Cheng sat down beside her and looked at Shen Sui'an with a smile.

"We in the Shen family have never considered your aunt's family as relatives, so let's not talk about a closer relationship. Whether your sister will be sold off is another matter." Shen Sui'an said calmly.

Auntie Cheng frowned, "My sister gave birth to a pair of children for your Shen family. My nephew is your father's only son. In the future, your Shen family will still need to rely on him for support."

"Sui Sui, what's wrong with our Cheng family? You should have made my sister your legal wife. What's so good about Jiang's merchant daughter?"

Shen Sui'an was not surprised at all to hear Aunt Cheng say this.

Her wishful thinking is worthy of being a sister to Aunt Cheng.

"If you come to tell me this, then there's no need to say more." Shen Sui'an said.

Auntie Xiao Cheng: "Sui Sui, can you please stop confining my sister? When Yao Ge'er grows up, he will definitely treat you well. The two elders of the Shen family will eventually pass away, and then only my nephew will be able to support you."

Shen Sui'an chuckled, "It seems that Aunt Cheng is under house arrest. Your Cheng family really knows nothing about the Shen family."

"Don't you know? My mother gave birth to my father's only legitimate son not long ago."

Aunt Cheng's expression changed. "When? Why didn't your Shen family go to the Cheng family to tell them?"

Shen Suian looked at her with a smile, as if answering her, what do you think of your Cheng family?

"How is Brother Yao doing now?" Aunt Cheng was worried about her nephew's life in the Shen family.

"Of course, I should study hard in the Shen family." Shen Sui'an said.

Aunt Xiao Cheng frowned. She thought her niece and nephew would definitely live a very good life in the Shen family, but now it seems that this may not be the case.

"Is there anything else?" Shen Sui asked.

"Okay, let's not talk about my sister for now, and let's talk about our Duke's Mansion." Aunt Cheng restrained her expression.

Shen Sui'an didn't know what to say to her.

"I know that the first wife has gone crazy, and the second wife has been driven out. As long as you and I work together, the power of the Duke's Mansion will fall into your hands."

"The old lady doesn't like the third house, and now it's the third wife's housekeeper. Sooner or later, she will have to take it back."

Shen Suian listened in surprise and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Auntie Xiao Cheng, you are more ambitious than your sister."

Auntie Cheng said, "Is it wrong to be ambitious? The first wife has done all the bad things and deserves retribution. My family background is not as good as hers, but I am also innocent. As long as I give birth to a son, there is nothing wrong with that."

"Did the old lady tell you that the madam has done all kinds of bad things?" Shen Sui'an asked.

"You don't have to care who told me that." Aunt Cheng felt that she couldn't be worse than a lunatic, and maybe she could become the legal wife in the future.

She certainly wouldn't be like her sister, who ended up being grounded.

Shen Sui'an raised his eyes slightly, "You should be thankful that your wife is not in the Duke's Mansion now."

Otherwise, Aunt Cheng wouldn't survive more than three days in the Duke's Mansion.

"See the guest off." Shen Suian served the guest tea.

Not enough words to speculate.

She didn't know how long she would stay in the Duke's Mansion, and she didn't want to get involved in these messes at all.

But it didn't stop her from watching the fun.

If Mrs. Lu knew that someone was eyeing her position as the principal wife, I wonder if she would suddenly recover from her illness.
