Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

After the party, Cheng Jinchu had just returned to the shabby courtyard when a little maid came in hurriedly.

"Miss Fifth, Miss Fifth, Madam has ordered me to come and ask Miss Fifth to move to the Hairpin Courtyard."

Cheng Jinchu frowned. She had been in the Shen Mansion for seven days, although she didn't live here and didn't come here often.

Yunzhi comes back to the Shen Mansion every day. Don't underestimate this girl, she is very smart. She comes here every day to inquire about various news of the Shen Mansion.

Yunzhi leaned close to Cheng Jinchu at this time and spoke in a low voice.

"Master, the Hairpin Courtyard is not far from the lady's courtyard. It is a pretty good courtyard in the Shen Mansion. It is said that Aunt Shen always lives there when she comes back. The old lady likes this youngest daughter the most. This courtyard is very nice. Although it is a little small, there are many flowers planted in it. There is also a swing frame in the courtyard. It is under a big old tree. It is the best place to enjoy the cool in summer."

Cheng Jinchu understood, but she didn't know if Sun Manman gave her such a yard to live in, and if the old lady would come to cause trouble for her when she came back...

Cheng Jinchu chuckled and shook her head. Why think so much? The old lady couldn't eat her anyway. Although she was always good-tempered outside, she couldn't let others bully her.

Cheng Jinchu had a gentle look on his face. He smiled at the little maid and asked Yunzhi to stay here. After they left, he went out of the Shen Mansion to inquire about the matter.

"Lead the way!"

The little maid was fascinated by Cheng Jinchu. She had never seen such a beautiful girl. When she heard Cheng Jinchu's voice, she realized what a stupid thing she had done. She hurried to lead the way for Cheng Jinchu. However, the clumsy look at the beginning made Cheng Jinchu couldn't help but chuckle. The little girl was also very embarrassed and blushed.

Along the way, the little maid wanted to talk to Cheng Jinchu but didn't dare to open her mouth. Cheng Jinchu didn't notice the maid's entanglement. She was just thinking about something. She was thinking about Mrs. Mo and remembered that she was stopped by Mrs. Mo when she came out of the main courtyard just now.

What she meant was that she should not appear in front of anyone and bring unpleasant feelings to others.

Haha, unhappy. After a few days, Cheng Jinchu will let her know what real unhappiness is. But now she is still very confused about how this Mo became the concubine. She asked Chengzi, but Chengzi didn't say anything.

Soon, the maid brought Cheng Jinchu into the yard. As soon as he stepped into the yard, he heard a familiar voice coming from inside.

"Jin...Jinyi is here. Take a look at this yard. Do you like it?"

Cheng Jinchu looked around the yard. She had been in the Shen Mansion for such a long time, but she had never seen so many servants working for her.

"Thank you..."

"How dare she trouble Madam? She was specially sent to live in this courtyard just for someone like her. She has already gotten used to living there. Why should Madam bother her?"

Before Cheng Jinchu could finish his words, he heard a very unpleasant voice.

Cheng Jinchu took a few deep breaths before she did anything. She was really not suited to palace fighting and house fighting. Her brother had said before that he hoped she would marry someone who was clean and self-disciplined in the future, otherwise, she would destroy the family directly.

This was truly the truth spoken by her brother based on his understanding of her over the years. Cheng Jinchu agreed with it, but now, she was forced into the palace fight, and the first lesson was to endure. She didn't know how long she could endure it.

Cheng Jinchu clenched her fists unconsciously. If this happened somewhere else, she would have sewed up Mo's mouth.

"What are you talking about, Aunt Mo? I don't think it's a bother. It was fine before, but now that I'm in the mansion and the mistress of the house, if outsiders knew that the master's biological daughter lived in such a shabby yard, I think it would damage my reputation and also implicate my mother's family, who would accuse my mother of not being able to teach her daughter. After all, my father is a third-rank court official, and my husband was recently promoted to the fifth rank. At this time, it's not good for outsiders to say these things. It would be bad if I was reported. If my family was also a merchant family like Aunt's, it wouldn't be a problem!"

When Aunt Mo heard what the lady said, she clutched her handkerchief tightly, but a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Madam is right. I didn't think about my husband..."

Snapped! ! !

Before Aunt Mo could finish her words, the old lady beside the lady came forward and slapped Aunt Mo hard in the face.

"How dare you! Can a concubine call you husband? Pay attention to your identity, concubine Mo. As a concubine, you must be aware of your status. Be aware of being a concubine!"

Aunt Mo's eyes were red. Cheng Jinchu looked at her. She didn't believe that her eyes were red because of being beaten. She probably was irritated by the words "Aunt".

but.

Why is she aggrieved? She is the aunt now!

Cheng Jinchu looked at Sun Manman standing there, stroking her belly.

Yes, I don’t know if this new wife can give birth to a legitimate son for Mr. Shen.

Cheng Jinchu stood there with her head lowered. She still had to maintain her timid and introverted personality for the time being and had no plans to take any action for the time being. After all, she had just arrived and needed to be more restrained.

Soon, Aunt Mo left in shame, and glared at Cheng Jinchu fiercely when she left. Cheng Jinchu didn't care, because she was not her biological mother.

She didn't feel sad at all.

Although her mother hardly took care of her and her brother, she loved them. During the holidays, she would always receive clothes sewn by her mother. Her mother did these while taking care of her father.

Her mother is a top love-brained person who doesn't care about anything except her husband. At least, she and her brother are the fruit of the love between her mother and father. Her mother likes her father so much, so of course she likes them too.

Especially my brother, because he looks just like my father.

The thing about her that resembles her father the most is her beautiful peach blossom eyes. So, her mother likes her eyes the most, and she likes them too, they are so beautiful!

"Jin...Jinyi, don't take your aunt's words to heart. I just think that you are also a lady of the Shen family, at least a legitimate lady, and it is not appropriate for you to live in a courtyard like that. I have discussed this with your father."

Cheng Jinchu nodded obediently.

"Thank you mother!"

"You, if you feel that there is something inappropriate, come to mother and I will arrange it for you. You, don't blame your father. Men are inevitably careless, right? He never asks about the affairs of the backyard. When I just got married yesterday, he said that I would be the one to make all the decisions about the backyard in the future. He always obeyed me. He didn't know your situation. Before I got married, it was Aunt Mo who took care of the family affairs. The Shen Mansion was also supported by your father, so the power to run the family has always been in the hands of the third room. Aunt Mo...you will know in the future."

Cheng Jinchu knew that Sun Manman was talking about the fact that she lived in a shabby courtyard. She was curious about how Mo became a concubine and she wanted to find out the truth.

The lady looked at Cheng Jinchu's face again, and saw that Cheng Jinchu was just clutching the handkerchief with a look of grievance. She grabbed Cheng Jinchu's hand and spoke more gently.

"Since I'm married into this family, your father's children are naturally my children. Your sister hasn't returned home yet. As soon as I saw you, I liked you and recognized you as my own daughter. Although I'm only a few years older than you, don't worry, I will love you."

Cheng Jinchu pretended to be so moved that he shed tears. Acting is so easy!

She sniffed, dropped a few golden beans, and spoke with a sob.

"Thank you...really, thank you so much, mother!"

The servants were very efficient and cleaned up the house quickly. After Sun Manman left, Cheng Jinchu lay on the recliner in the room, squinting his eyes and staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

Yunzhi walked in at this time, took out a small note from her sleeve and handed it to Cheng Jinchu.

Cheng Jinchu opened the note, read its contents, and handed it to Yunzhi.

"Look at it, and then burn it."

Yunzhi nodded, and after reading it, she took a fire stick and lit it in front of Cheng Jinchu.

"What is this lady's background?"

Cheng Jinchu lay down again and asked with his eyes closed.

"I went to inquire about it. It is said that this lady, Ms. Sun, is the daughter of a third-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. Her maiden name is Manman. Before she came of age, she was said to be a talented woman who was proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was also the pride of the family. She advocated freedom and loved to say that everyone was equal. She would never keep a distance from men. It is said that a servant in the Sun residence was asked by Sun Manman to drive her carriage because he was good-looking. It is said that the relationship between the two of them did not seem like that of master and servant...

Later, the man she had arranged to marry before she came of age died for some unknown reason...

After that, the reputation of being a jinx spread, and no one dared to marry her. She gradually grew older, and should be twenty this year. At the princess' flower-viewing banquet last year, she fell in love with Mr. Shen at first sight, and now she has married into the Shen Mansion!"

Cheng Jinchu curled his lips slightly, Sun Manman...

have not seen you for a long time…
