I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Yinsi felt very annoyed as he could hear his elder brother, Prince Zhi, nagging endlessly.

But because of his personality and childhood experiences, he can't easily turn against his elder brother.

Yinsi endured it again and again, and finally sent his elder brother away with kind words, but after returning to the living room, he was so angry that he crushed a teacup with his bare hands.

The word "forbearance" is like a knife in your heart!

Yinsi felt so angry that his heart ached.

But if he wants to realize his grand ambitions, he has to continue to maintain this kind of personality in front of others.

After venting a little, he asked his personal eunuch to come in and clean up the teacup that he had "broken into pieces" to vent his anger. After taking a deep breath, Yinsi put on his gentle mask again and went out - he still had several brothers to deal with.

After seeing off the eldest and second eldest brothers, who all had a neutral impression of the other brothers, the fourth, eighth, ninth and tenth princes continued chatting in the front hall. Lingrong followed the sisters-in-law and, under the guidance of Minghui, went to visit the concubine Maertai who had just lost her child.

Lingrong had always had a great liking for Maertai Ruolan when she watched the drama. Not only was she beautiful, but what made Lingrong most envious was her unconditional kindness to Ruoxi.

This is how sisters should get along: you are good to me and I am good to you.

In fact, Lingrong seldom mentioned the grievances between her and Zhen Huan. If she complained too many times, she would become Xianglin Sao. Lingrong understood this.

But understanding is one thing, and actually sitting up is another.

Ling Rong has never been a saint, and she has never thought of holding herself to the standards of a saint.

So, looking at Ruolan lying on the bed gasping for breath, and thinking of how good she was to Ruoxi, Lingrong thought of Zhen Huan again.

Knowing that Ruoxi and Ruolan are sisters, the affection between them is naturally not comparable to that between me and Zhen Huan who just happened to meet back then.

But if Zhen Huan had been half as attentive to her as Ruolan was to Ruoxi, Lingrong thought, things wouldn't have ended up like that between them.

She was indeed narrow-minded back then, but was it not wrong for Zhen Huan to allow Huanbi to belittle her with a clear conscience?

Ruolan had a miscarriage because of General Qingshan. Even Minghui, who disliked Ruolan, kept silent about this reason. The official reason spread from the Eighth Master's courtyard was that Ruolan was weak, so the child had a miscarriage for no reason.

The ladies-in-law who were unaware of the true situation could only comfort Ruolan by saying, "Don't be too sad" and "It's better to get well soon."

After saying a bunch of meaningless clichés, and seeing that Ruolan looked really bad, everyone didn't want to disturb her rest any longer.

It was not over yet after they had retreated from the concubine's room, they still had to comfort Minghui.

Although they, as the legitimate wives, knew in private that Minghui and the favorite concubine Ruolan did not get along, they did not know how to be happy about the loss of Ruolan's child.

But we still have to talk about the scene.

After all, the child in Ruolan's belly was nominally Minghui's child, so Minghui was also a mother who had lost her child.

After the wives of the other brothers who were not so close to them had left, Minghui was finally able to speak a few words from her heart to the wife of the brother who had always been close to their Eighth Master.

Well, although Lao Jiu has been somewhat separated from Lao Ba's small group since his arranged marriage, that was because he had no time, not because there was any discord between the brothers. In Lao Ba's opinion, his relationship with Lao Jiu is still as good as before.

No matter how a couple feels towards each other internally, they must be one to the outside world.

The Eighth Brother and the Ninth Brother have a close relationship, so in the eyes of the Eighth Lady, although she is not very familiar with the Ninth Brother's wife who is a little frail, she can barely be considered one of her own.

As Yinzhen had not come to ask her to go home with him, Lingrong could only stay in the Eighth Master's backyard awkwardly.

Fortunately, there was the Fourth Lady, who was familiar with the Eighth Lady. Even if Lingrong didn't say much throughout the whole process, the Eighth Lady had other suitable chat partners.

"I understand what the eldest sister-in-law meant. I'm afraid that everyone else will think that I was the one who killed that child. But you know my character best. Although I am a bit stubborn and competitive, and I really don't like that child, he is the Eighth Master's child after all. The Eighth Master treats me very kindly. Even for the Eighth Master, I would not do such a thing."

As the Eighth Lady spoke to the Fourth Lady, who was like her best friend, she began to cry out of grievance.

The eldest wife was in poor health due to repeated childbirth, so her relationship with her younger brothers and sisters was mediocre. Lingrong used her weak health as an excuse to stay at home as much as possible, and her relationship with other sisters-in-law was also mediocre. The tenth brother had not yet married.

Therefore, because Siba is still in the honeymoon period, among all the sisters-in-law, Siba and Minghui are the closest, most familiar, and have the best relationship.

She knew very well what kind of life the Eighth Concubine lived after she got married.

In the first six months, the Eighth Master and Minghui were indeed in love. Compared with the Fourth Lady's own experience, the Eighth Lady could be said to have had a very bad start.

But the good times did not last long. The Eighth Master suddenly fell in love with Maertai Ruolan at first sight and actively proposed to her. In the days that followed, the reputation of the concubine Maertai Ruolan spread among the princes.

The Fourth Lady knew very well what it felt like to be ignored. She married the Fourth Master when she was ten years old, but she was too young to consummate the marriage, so she could only watch him favor other women. Later, when she was older, the Fourth Master already had a place for Li in his heart.

Until now, she could only watch Li give birth to children one after another. And she...

The Fourth Lady touched her belly bitterly, not knowing when she would have a child.

She could only use her own experience of frustration to comfort and encourage the Eighth Lady: "The eldest sister-in-law is just unfamiliar with you and doesn't really understand your character. Minghui, I understand your suffering. Time will tell. When you have been in contact for a long time, I think they will naturally know what kind of person you are."

There were some more things she wanted to say, but because Ling Rong was beside her, the Fourth Lady was too embarrassed to say them directly.

What she actually wanted to say was that now is a good time for you. It will take some time for Ruolan to recuperate as Xiaoyue, and apart from a few concubines he had before marriage, the only decent woman left for the Eighth Master is the Eighth Lady.

Why not take this opportunity to have a child of your own?

Although they are legitimate wives, it is not very decent for them to do so, but... if they don't take advantage of the situation, considering the Eighth Master's infatuation with Ruolan, when will Minghui ever be able to make a breakthrough?

Between best friends, some things can be understood without saying anything. Minghui just felt bitter in her heart.

How could she not know that Fourth Sister-in-law was thinking about her? It was just that she really couldn't do that.

Guo Luoluo Minghui has been strong all her life, how could she...how could she!

And what does that even mean?

What Minghui wants is the heart of the Eighth Master, not just the respect that is due to her as the Eighth Lady.

Ugh--

The two frustrated people looked at each other and sighed.

The air in the room became more dull and depressing. Ling Rong, who had a good husband and a generally perfect married life, huddled in a corner and didn't dare to interrupt easily. She wished she could be invisible at this moment.
