When the Marquis returned to Aunt Zhao's chamber, she hurried forward to greet him.

"I'm tired, I'll take a nap."

The Marquis said.

"Look at you, there is a layer of sweat on your head." Aunt Zhao summoned the maid beside her to take off the marquis's coat, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe his forehead and temples.

As soon as the maid took off her coat, she was sent away by Aunt Zhao. She reached out and massaged his shoulders.

The Marquis raised one eyelid, glanced at Aunt Zhao, and sighed.

"Alas, I just figured out why Gu Huai likes that Lin and ignores Cheng Jiayao."

"She is indeed lively and active, not afraid of people, and dares to speak and act. She is warm and will not leave you alone,"

"Although Cheng Jiayao is a noble girl, she has a kind of self-admiring pride."

"Ms. Lin spoke so sincerely and earnestly. It's rare for her to say so much for Gu Huai."

"Although Cheng Jiayao is my daughter-in-law, her heart is not with Gu Huai."

Aunt Zhao listened carefully to the Marquis's words, lowered her head and thought for a while, then asked, "Is the Marquis praising Lin?"

"I think she is very straightforward. Compared to before, she has changed a lot, which is a good change."

Lord: "I am not praising him."

"I was thinking before that a lady like Cheng Jiayao is much better than someone like Lin Qianqian who came from a brothel. I can't understand why he chose Lin Qianqian and put Cheng Jiayao aside?"

"It's better for a woman to serve others."

Aunt Zhao understood what he meant. She tilted her neck and rested her head on the Marquis' shoulder. "It's not that I'm speaking well of Aunt Lin, but because we are both concubines."

"I like her, too,"

"I like her boldness and liveliness. Having such a person in life can add a lot of fun."

"The Crown Prince's wife is fine, but she won't lower herself to speak to someone like me in a friendly manner."

"What? She doesn't respect you?" the Marquis asked with concern, reaching out and touching Aunt Zhao's shoulder.

Aunt Zhao shook her head. "It's just that the monthly allowance is delayed. There are many more rules than before."

"There's always an excuse to deduct money. I sent the maidservant around her to ask, but the maidservant around her was very frivolous and didn't even bother to pay attention to me."

"There is such a thing." The Marquis was very surprised.

"After all, you are the elder."

Aunt Zhao said, "Although I am the elder, I am a concubine. She knows it very well and only respects Madam Yu. How could she take someone like me seriously?"

In Aunt Zhao's heart, Lin Qianqian was a concubine like herself, a person of the same level, and she had no right to raise the child she gave birth to. Seeing how well Gu Huai treated her, she felt a little envious and jealous of her, and remembered that young people loved purely like this when they were young.

Later, as I grew up, I realized that there was no place in society for such love.

Before, she said that she wanted to be with the prince for the rest of her life. I just think such a girl is very silly and naive.

From ancient times to the present, women can only be with one man and remain faithful to him until death, while men can have three wives and four concubines.

How could the prince give up the benefit of having two wives and choose to stay with her for the rest of his life?

She thought it was just sweet talk by men, a way to deceive women's hearts.

Outsiders said she was crazy, but she thought Lin Qianqian was a fool, a complete fool. How could anyone say such naive and ridiculous words?

In this world, are you still pursuing love? Just eat and wear warm clothes first.

……

Er Yue hurried over and saw Cheng Jiayao kneeling in the yard. She quickly went over and stretched out her hand to shield the sun from her head.

"Miss."

"Miss,"

Her eyes were filled with distress and she was about to cry, "Miss, how long have you been kneeling?"

How could the Marquis punish you like this?

February didn't say this, "My Lord, he is so angry."

Cheng Jiayao said tiredly, "It's my fault."

"The Marquis made it very clear today. I overstepped my bounds, and I accept the punishment."

Er Yue, "But, the Marquis is obviously biased. He actually let Lin Yi Niang off so easily and found fault with you so much."

February agrees with this.

She couldn't understand why Lin Qianqian could gain their approval even though she didn't serve her parents-in-law.

And my own young lady personally serves tea and water to Yu, wipes her sweat and massages her feet every day, but such filial piety is rewarded with punishment from the Marquis.

February felt really aggrieved.

And he hated Lin Qianqian more and more.

"Miss, you said that Aunt Lin has contradicted the Marquis several times, but the Marquis has never punished her once. This is really strange."

"We haven't discovered whether Aunt Lin is trying to please the Marquis behind his back."

Cheng Jiayao raised her numb and painful knees and rubbed them with her hands. "Don't you understand this?"

February shook his head, "I haven't heard of that."

Cheng Jiayao pondered for a while and said, "Later, go call Taozhi over. I want to ask her a question."

"it is good."

Yu was worried about Cheng Jiayao.

Seeing her kneeling in the yard, what if she gets a heat stroke? She is a girl, and her body is very fragile.

After much thought, she decided to go to the Marquis to ask for help.

"My Lord, Jiayao really didn't mean it. This child is still so young. Sometimes he speaks too quickly and doesn't hold back."

"My Lord, please don't treat such a capable and loving daughter-in-law like this."

"Jiayao, she is really well-behaved and obedient. She is the one who eats the last leftovers around us. You don't know how much this child wronged herself."

"She never hurt anybody."
