The regent is a yandere who needs to be pampered

"Nan Jiao is arrogant and domineering, but she is brainless." Mrs. Nan cleaned her hands under the service of the maid and said in a calm tone, "Aunt Li looks a little smart, but in fact she is just trying to gain favor in front of your father with her beauty. Just let your father put pressure on me. I used to be too lazy to pay attention to them, but over time, they really thought that I was a soft-tempered person who was easy to bully... It would be too disrespectful to say that Nan Jiao and her mother had any deep plans. Take this mother and daughter.”

Nan Xi nodded, "Mom is right, the one who really deserves to be taken to heart is Mrs. Liu."

Among the women in Goulan Courtyard who make a living by selling their looks, which one is not superb?

It was said that Ms. Liu was an oiran of a certain brothel in the past. Her beauty was naturally first-rate. In addition to her appearance, she was also said to have an extraordinarily gentle temperament. She was like a considerate and interpretive flower. She was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. So it is easy to capture a man's heart.

Even her father, a high-ranking father, could not escape Liu's charm. He redeemed his body for her sixteen years ago... huh?

Sixteen years ago?

Nan Xi frowned slightly: "Mom, the relationship between my father and Liu lasted for sixteen years?"

Mrs. Nan glanced at her and slowly shook her head: "It didn't last for sixteen years and was interrupted in between. I was completely kept in the dark about this matter at the beginning, and I didn't know the existence of the Liu family at all."

"When I was pregnant, your father started to bring concubines into the house. At first, he felt a little guilty when facing me. But I was young and came from a business family. I seemed to be out of place among the rich and powerful families in the imperial capital. Same."

"Thinking that my status may have indeed humiliated him, I felt a little guilty. In addition, many official wives deliberately showed favor to me and emphasized in disguised form in front of me that men should have three wives and four concubines. Over time, I It seems that this statement has been accepted.”

"But I didn't expect that your father would become more aggressive and take in one concubine after another. Although I could bear it, I became more and more disappointed with him. It's not a big mistake for a man to be lustful. Men in the world are like this, but he I can understand how many emotions I have.”

At this point, sarcasm appeared on her lips: "Perhaps after becoming famous, he no longer cares about the help from his wife. He needs to quickly take root in the imperial capital, establish good relations with the dignitaries of the imperial capital, and obtain benefits through marriage. , In short, I got used to it year by year. "

When habits become natural, what else can't be accepted?

After giving birth to her daughter, her feelings for her husband changed from deep love to disappointment, then from disappointment to numbness, and then she has remained numb until now.

Mrs. Nan asked the maid beside her to prepare lunch, and then sat down opposite Nan Xi with a tea cup: "Your father had a relationship with the Liu family back then, but she is a woman from the land of hooks, and your father is a person who values ​​reputation. "

When Nan Xi heard this, she knew there was something hidden: "Then why is there Nan Yue?"

Sixteen years ago, Mrs. Liu was a popular courtesan in a brothel and a cash cow in the Goulan Courtyard. How could the madam allow her to become pregnant?

"Later, your father and Mrs. Liu also broke up for a few years. When you were about seven years old, I found out that Mrs. Liu secretly gave birth to a girl after spending a night with your father."

"Then does my father know?"
