I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

"Then what do you want me to do! I have such an unreasonable aunt and such a stupid sister, how can you let me avoid being implicated!"

"My mother wants me to marry in Sichuan!"

"Sichuan is a thousand miles away from the capital! Even if I were tortured to death in Sichuan, no one would know!"

"I just want to fight for myself. Even if I can't be Mr. Song's legal wife, I can be your concubine!"

"So what if I'm a concubine's daughter? Am I not my father's biological daughter? I just want to live a better life. What have I done wrong?"

The Rose Courtyard was as quiet as a chicken. The servants who usually waited had all been taken away. The only people in the entire Rose Courtyard were Chun Shao guarding outside the door and Zhao Fangyu and Zhao Fangwei inside.

Zhao Fangwei suddenly rushed up, hugged Zhao Fangyu's arm and knelt down. Under the moonlight, the precious concubine bracelet inlaid with mutton fat and gold, which had once appeared on the eldest lady, was shining brightly on Zhao Fangyu's wrist, and Zhao Fangwei was stunned.

She stared at the imperial concubine's bracelet infatuatedly, then looked at Zhao Fangyu who was looking down at her. The things that she had held on to in her heart all this time seemed to be shattered overnight.

She said like a madman: "You are all good, you are all lucky, can't you have pity on me?"

"I just want to leave my aunt who mistreats me. I just want to marry in Kyoto and not be bullied. What have I done wrong?"

"Big sister is the eldest daughter, she can find any marriage, even entering the palace is possible, why do you have to compete with me for Mr. Song!"

"If I don't want to be the principal wife, can I not even be the concubine?"

Zhao Fangwei cried heart-wrenchingly, her words full of resentment towards her fate and disdain for Aunt Song and Zhao Fangyun.

Zhao Fangyu just watched quietly. She watched Zhao Fangwei cry, watched Zhao Fangwei make a fuss, watched her act crazy and stupid, and watched her take the opportunity of going crazy to speak out what was in her heart.

When Zhao Fangwei was almost tired of crying, Zhao Fangyu easily broke free, placed the lantern on the table, brought out a pot of tea from the house, and poured a cup for Zhao Fangwei and himself.

After moistening his throat, Zhao Fangyu sat on the cobblestone stool and looked at Zhao Fangwei almost scrutinizingly, shaking the teacup in his hand, and the tea swirled in the cup.

"If Second Sister really thinks entering the palace is a good thing, why don't you go by yourself?"

Zhao Fangwei paused in her crying, then turned her head and stared at her with red eyes. Zhao Fangwei looked into her eyes as if she was looking at the murderer of her father: "I am not as good as my fourth sister in scheming and pleasing father. If our Zhao family really wants someone to enter the palace, who should it be but you?"

"Now you are the eldest lady's legitimate daughter, you can also enter the Song family, but I! Only I can't!"

"You are so cunning! My third sister was bullied by you and has been locked up in Shou'an Hall for many years! Compared with you, my fifth sister is like mud and stone! I have been very cautious in these years, but now my fourth sister is going to punish me as well!"

Zhao Fangyu faced the moonlight, her lips were scarlet red, and after being moistened by tea, they looked as cold as if she had just drunk a lot of blood.

The surroundings were silent except for the rustling sound of leaves. Zhao Fangwei thought she had hit upon Zhao Fangyu's thoughts. Zhao Fangyu did not dare to answer and was about to make a final response, but the next second, Zhao Fangyu slapped her in the face!

The crisp sound of "pa pa" even alarmed Chunshao who was guarding the door outside. Seeing that it was her own daughter who was beating someone, Chunshao quietly retreated and closed the door tighter.

Zhao Fangwei was stunned by the beating. She admitted that Zhao Fangjin had beaten her, but what kind of person was Zhao Fangyu? They were both born as concubines, so what right did she have to beat her? !

The next second, Zhao Fangyu slapped the other side again and sneered, "Second sister, why do you have to make your selfishness sound so pitiful?"

"Being a concubine of the eldest sister is more comfortable than being a grandmother outside. The child born is considered a legitimate child. If it is born early, the eldest sister's child will give way to your child?"

Zhao Fangwei was beaten so hard that she could not move. When she turned around, she saw beads of bright red blood flowing from the corners of her mouth.

In the darkness of the night, she only saw Zhao Fangyu's pair of peach blossom eyes staring at her intently, as if he were watching fire.

"Second sister, you claim to be smart, but don't treat others as fools."

"You and my elder sister are both daughters of the Zhao family. If you were Teng's concubine, Young Master Song would not neglect you too much. With your intelligence, you can not only learn the charm of my elder sister, but also have your own gentleness that my elder sister cannot bend down to. If you give birth to a child first, according to the laws of Daliang, most of Song Bai's family property will be given to you."

"What's the point of my elder sister working so hard for half her life?"

Zhao Fangyu squatted down and gently patted Zhao Fangwei's face, again and again, which was extremely humiliating.

"You can't compete with the Madam. She is kind-hearted and won't punish you harshly. The worst result is that you will marry far away. You won't lose anything."

"So you take a risk and change your future."

"You didn't want to enter the palace either. If you really wanted to, I wouldn't be the one serving in the study. You know that life in the palace is a life of hardship, so you urged my third sister to go, and just now you pretended to envy me so that I could compete with my third sister."

"You hate the third sister because her aunt loves her and would do anything for her."

"You hate me too, because I walk a better path than you do."

"You even hate Concubine Song and your fifth sister because they are not as good as you want, not smart enough, and even form a group to exclude you."

"You hate your father because he treats all his daughters the same and never dotes on you. You also hate the eldest lady because she didn't find you the same marriage as your eldest sister."

"You blame the heavens and the earth, but never yourself."

She blamed the world for being unfair, blamed herself for not crawling out of the eldest lady's belly and being born superior, blamed the young master of the aristocratic family for not looking down on her, blamed everyone and everything that made her life uncomfortable, and blamed everything...

Zhao Fangwei collapsed on the ground, her face filled with indescribable panic, because everything Zhao Fangyu said was what she was thinking!

"Why should I blame myself?" Zhao Fangwei gave up, stood up, dusted herself off, and slowly sat down on the stone bench, dragging her legs.

"It's their fault. If they really treated me well, how could they just watch me live in such a dire situation and not care about me?"

Zhao Fangyu had never seen such a shameless person. His eyes were as cold as a sword. He wished he could cut open Zhao Fangwei's heart to see how dark it was.

"The Zhao family rose to prominence through military exploits. You know how much credit the eldest lady has given to the family today. What we eat, wear, and use, which one of them is not due to the eldest lady's help?"

"The eldest lady doesn't owe you anything, eldest sister, I, none of us owes you anything."

“No one is born to be nice to you.”

"You want to win Song Bai with your own abilities, but it depends on whether I agree or not."

Zhao Fangyu poured a cup of tea over her head, her expression vicious: "Among the five sisters, you are not even as good as me."
