The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Wang Ge'er held on tightly with both hands, his face flushed red, but he was unwilling to let go. But this really couldn't happen. Lu Yun grabbed the purse with a serious expression.

Seeing the young master and young lady deadlocked, the people around them rushed forward to coax them. Some used other toys to induce Wang Ge'er to let go, while others tried to persuade Lu Yun to give up by offering more luxurious purses in exchange.

"Mom, Wang Ge'er wants this." Wang Ge'er used his trump card, squeezed out tears as big as beans, and looked at Aunt Yao eagerly.

Several maids exchanged glances with each other and stopped what they were doing.

Aunt Yao said in a serious tone, "Wang'er, you can't touch my things." As she said this, she tried to pick up Wang'er.

Wang Ge'er stared at his mother blankly. In the past, his mother would always satisfy him. His mouth pursed, as if he had suffered great injustice, and his hands finally loosened.

Although she saved her purse, Lu Yun felt a little embarrassed. She looked at Aunt Yao who was talking softly to Wang Ge'er and said, "Aunt, Sister Yun has gone home."

Aunt Yao looked up when she heard this, her eyes full of guilt. "You're leaving now. Your brother is still young and naive. Don't worry about it. You can come to visit me later."

Lu Yun hesitated for a moment and nodded. She really didn't know how to deal with her biological mother. Alas.

Halfway through the journey, Caihe squatted down and looked at her young lady with a very serious expression, "Sister Yun, do you want to go find Aunt Yao in the future?" This gave Lu Yun the illusion that as long as she nodded, Caihe would take her back immediately.

Lu Yun shook her head and decided to give up. Since she was already being raised by her stepmother, frequent visits to Yingchun Courtyard might cause her trouble.

Cai He's tense body relaxed visibly, and she said softly, "Miss, if you don't like it, then don't go."

But what Lu Yun didn't expect was that someone would use today's incident to attack her stepmother Zhang.

The next day was the day to pay respects to the old lady as usual, and the masters of the two families gathered in Yannianyuan.

The eldest wife, Qin, first spoke of some household matters, and the old lady nodded to indicate that she understood. Then she suddenly changed the subject and looked at Zhang, with a half-smile on her face. "Everyone in the mansion says that my sister-in-law is virtuous, and now I have truly seen it."

Zhang looked at Qin with an unchanged expression, "Why do you say that, sister-in-law?"

Qin smiled and said, "Why are you so stubborn, sister-in-law? Recently, people have often seen Sister Yun playing in Aunt Yao's yard. If I knew that my concubine's daughter, who I raised since childhood, was now going to my biological mother's yard every day, I would feel bad too."

Lu Yun, who struggled to defend herself due to her age, had a huge question mark hanging over her head. She first looked at Qin with tears in her eyes, "Auntie, why can't Yunjie go to my aunt's yard?" Then she hugged Zhang's legs and said, "Mom, Yunjie only went there yesterday." She was truly pitiful and adorable.

Zhang raised her hands and hugged Yunjie'er, wondering, "It's really strange. It seems that my sister-in-law knows more about the affairs of my own courtyard than I do." Then she smiled again and said, "I also want to know why Yunjie'er can't go to her aunt's courtyard. Please help me solve this mystery."

Qin sneered, "So I'm meddling in other people's business. I was just reminding you out of kindness."

Zhang ignored her and looked at the old lady and said, "Old lady, you know me. Forget about the empty reputation of being virtuous or not. The child can go wherever she wants. As long as she calls me mother, she is my child. Sister Yun has a kind nature. She wouldn't even hurt an ant. Sister Rong's brother likes her. The sisters have such a good relationship that even a mother like me is jealous. Our Ping'an Marquis Mansion is not the kind of small family that chases chickens and scolds dogs all day long and is determined to make things difficult for concubines and can't bear to see them live well."

Qin was furious. "You——"

"Alright," the old lady shouted, scolding, "What are you doing now? You're all threatening like you want to eat me alive." She looked at Qin and said, "Isn't that mess in your yard enough to bother you?" Then she turned to look at Zhang and said, "Don't be so unreasonable." After she finished speaking, without even looking at Qin's increasingly ugly face, she said calmly, "I'm tired. Let's all go down."

Seeing that everyone had left, the old lady sighed to Dujuan, "Lingcong's wife is really powerful. My eldest daughter-in-law is used to being domineering in the mansion. Zhang's few words made her lose the dignity of a marquis's wife. I think we are going to have a lot of fun in the future."

Back at the main courtyard, Zhang held Lu Yun in her arms and said gently, "Our sister Yun can go wherever she wants. Auntie is also half your elder, and mother will not be unhappy about this."

Lu Yun was touched. Cai He was already wiping away tears beside her. "Madam, the young lady just passed by yesterday and met Aunt Yao. These days, the young lady often goes to Hongfeng Garden. The purse around her waist was made by Miss Yuan."

Zhang shook her head when she heard this and said, "Aunt Yao is Yunjie'er's biological mother. It's natural for her to want to go." And with her watching over her, Yao wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Perhaps having heard the news, the little maid came in and announced, "Aunt Yao is here."

Zhang asked someone to invite her in. When Aunt Yao came in, she was about to kneel down, but Zhang stopped her and asked her to sit on the stool. Yao had no idea that her unintentional behavior would bring such trouble to her daughter. She looked at Zhang with tears in her eyes and said, "Madam, I just want to invite Miss San to come in and sit down. I have no other intentions."

Zhang sighed, "I know what you're thinking, don't worry." She gestured for Sister Yun to be taken away, then said to Yao gently, "Although Sister Yun was raised by me, you are also her biological mother. I won't interfere with your daily interactions, but I hope you'll know when to stop."

Seeing Yao's confused expression, Zhang had to explain tactfully, "I have always treated all my children equally. I was afraid that Yunjie would get close to you, but you were only concerned about Wang Ge'er and that would hurt her feelings."

Aunt Yao finally came to her senses and opened her mouth to ask, "Concubine, how could that be?"

Zhang smiled and said, "Let's do this for now. I have a piece of good satin from Huaizhou. You can take it back and make some clothes for your brother."

Nanny Chang handed a batch of red satin to Caiping. Aunt Yao wiped her tears, thanked her, and turned to leave the main courtyard.

After seeing the person leave, Nanny Chang hesitated and said, "In my opinion, Jin Ling is not such a person."

Zhang slowly sat down and drank a few sips of tea. After calming down, she said, "Madam, the color of the satin I just gave her is called Shuihua Zhu, which is the color our sister Yun wears most often."

Nanny Chang didn't understand what the lady was up to, so she nodded and said, "Indeed, Sister Yun has fair skin and this color looks best on her. Sister Qin from the eldest house also likes to wear red, but in my opinion, she's still not as good as Sister Yun."

Zhang sighed, "You understand all these things, but Aunt Yao can't see them? Maybe her feelings for Sister Yun are genuine, but the scary thing is that she doesn't know how much Sister Yun occupies in her heart. My father used to say that it's easy to tell which child is favored by their parents in a poor family. Just look at their clothes. The one with the cleanest clothes and the fewest patches is the one their parents love the most."

Nanny Chang suddenly understood and nodded, "Madam, you are absolutely right."

"Yao also has a son named Wang, and Yunjie is raised under my name. Do you think I should be on guard against her?" Zhang said calmly.

"
