If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Human sorrows and joys are not interlinked.

When Second Madam Lu learned that Shen Sui'an was called away by the First Madam to do some work, she was in a very good mood, thinking that finally someone could control Shen Sui'an.

But her good mood didn't last for a day.

The eldest wife told Shen Sui'an that she no longer had to go to visit her mother in the morning and evening.

Shen Sui'an went back to her parents' home with great fanfare.

None of this hurt her.

The eldest wife actually wants Lu Yan to be the housekeeper!

Old Madam Lu has always been partial to her. After hearing what the eldest wife said, she also felt that letting Lu Yan learn to be a housekeeper now could help cultivate her character, and at the very least, it could give her a good reputation.

So Old Madam Lu agreed, and asked Second Madam Lu to hand over the account books of the warehouse and kitchen to Lu Yan, so that Lu Yan could practice first.

Let Mrs. Lu keep the matching cards first, and she will give some advice to Lu Yan.

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she almost spat blood in their faces.

What she said was really high-sounding. What did she mean by she was still the housekeeper? The cards were still in her hand, and Lu Yan was just helping her.

The kitchen and storeroom are the most fertile places.

Leave it all to Lu Yan.

She is just a big complainer who makes clothes for others.

Second Mrs. Lu wanted to object, but Mrs. Lu’s expression had already turned cold.

She got it.

The old lady and the first wife did not intend to discuss the matter with her; instead, they had already made the decision and were just informing her now.

"My daughter-in-law understands. I will take the account book to Sister Yan later. If she doesn't understand something, I will teach her again." She bit the flesh on her cheek, trying to suppress her anger.

There is already a bloody smell in my throat.

Mrs. Lu smiled as if bathed in spring breeze, her voice still as calm as clouds and breeze, "Mother, I said that my sister-in-law loves Sister Yan the most. When Sister Yan learns how to manage the household in the future, the first person she will thank is her second aunt."

"She has no daughter, so it's not appropriate for her to raise Sister Yan as a daughter." Old Madam Lu said with a smile.

Mrs. Lu felt a lump in her heart, and hated herself for always saying in front of the old lady that she regretted not having a daughter.

"My sister-in-law always said that it's better not to learn such mundane tasks as a housekeeper. Why does she want Sister Yan to learn these chores today?" Mrs. Lu picked up the teacup to hide the resentment on her face.

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "That's all thanks to the advice from Lu Yuan's wife. She said Yan Jie'er is not a bad person by nature and will definitely learn well if she is taught well. She also asked me to teach Yan Jie how to manage the household so that when she gets married, she can establish herself in her husband's family sooner."

She turned and smiled at Madam Lu: "I think what she said makes some sense."

Madam Lu just wanted the housekeeping power not to be in Shen Sui'an's hands, "Sister Yan is smart."

Mrs. Lu was about to explode with anger.

It’s Shen Suian again!

What a disaster that lowly bastard Lu Yuan married!

"Why didn't I see Lu Yuan's wife today? Is she, a newly married woman, leaving home so soon?" Mrs. Lu asked with a smile.

Mrs. Lu waved her hand. "After all, she is pregnant with me. She said she wanted to go back to her parents' home. How can I stop her? If I complain to Lu Yuan, it will only add to the resentment."

"Let her go. She has no shame of her own and others will only praise you for your tolerance and generosity when they see her." Mrs. Lu said.

Mrs. Lu couldn't help but lower her head and rolled her eyes.

She managed to cope with the situation with a forced smile, then returned to her yard and gulped down a pot of herbal tea to suppress the rising anger.

I underestimated Shen Sui'an! She actually had the ability to instigate in front of the first wife.

The first wife is such an idiot. She really thinks that she can get a good reputation by being housekeeper Lu Yan. Doesn’t she know what her own daughter is like?

You want to be the housekeeper, right? Then she'll let Lu Yan be in charge and see how big of a joke she can make.

"Second Madam, something bad has happened." The maid Sang Ye walked in with an anxious look on her face.

Mrs. Lu was just getting irritated when she heard the maid say, "Shut up, what discouraging words are you saying."

Sang Ye panted, "Second Madam, something happened to the Fourth Young Master."

Mrs. Lu's heart skipped a beat. "What?"

"The fourth young master was in the academy yesterday, doing that thing in bed with... with his classmate, and was discovered by the headmaster, who asked someone to invite the first and second masters to the academy." Sang Ye said cautiously.

"..." Mrs. Lu felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her blood instantly turned cold.

No one else in the Lu family knew the secret about the youngest son, but she knew it.

The youngest son began to understand the world at the age of thirteen, but not through a maid, but from a man.

He was his classmate, a bastard from a poor family, who was feminine and handsome, and spent all day with her son.

One time, they were drinking at home, and when they got drunk, they got together and started messing around.

She was originally going to deliver hangover tea, but when she saw this scene, she almost died on the spot.

My good son turned out to be a homosexual.

She was convinced that it was the illegitimate son from a poor family who had led her youngest son astray, and she tried every means to drive him out of the capital.

Over the past year, she has lived in fear and has not heard of her youngest son doing anything wrong.

I thought he had turned over a new leaf.

Mrs. Lu felt a dull pain in her chest. She held onto the table and sat down. "Who is it? Which bitch is seducing the young master? Is it..."

"It's not that Mr. Dai, the one today is named Yao..." Sang Ye said in a low voice.

"Yao? Someone from Concubine Yao's family?" Mrs. Lu felt her teeth trembling.

Sang Ye knelt down and said, "I caught the servant next to the Fourth Young Master and interrogated him. Then I found out that the Fourth Young Master and Concubine Yao's brother have been together day and night recently."

Mrs. Lu's eyes turned black and she fainted.

Concubine Yao had only one biological brother, who was born when her mother was nearly 40 years old. The whole family treated this son as a treasure.

How could her son have the guts to defile Concubine Yao's brother?

Sang Ye screamed and quickly asked the maid outside to come in, carry Mrs. Lu to the bed, and then hurried to call the palace doctor.

After a busy schedule, when Mrs. Lu woke up, Mr. Lu had already returned.

He sat beside them with a grim face and an expression of unrelieved panic on his face.

"Second Master..." Mrs. Lu sat up straight abruptly, "Where is Yang-ge'er?"

"Kneeling outside." Second Master Lu said dejectedly, "He and Young Master Yao didn't go to class, and the dean happened to go to inspect the school and found them... fooling around."

"Did you know that Yang'er is a homosexual?" asked Mr. Lu.

Mrs. Lu refused to admit it, "How could Yang Ge'er be a homosexual? He must have been seduced."

"It's hard to explain this matter. The Yao family took the young master back and warned us not to make it public. This matter will soon reach the ears of the imperial concubine. Everyone knows how much the imperial concubine loves this little brother..."

Mrs. Lu's face turned pale. "It has nothing to do with Yang'er. It's Young Master Yao's fault."

"We can't hide this from the old master. You should first put Yang'er under house arrest and not let him go out for the next few days." said Master Lu.

Mrs. Lu II saw a ray of hope after a dark period. She felt that as long as she could insist that Yang Ge'er was not a homosexual, then all the faults would be on Young Master Yao.

At least Yang Ge'er can be saved.
