No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

...It's a bit confusing.

This is the old lady’s biggest regret.

It cannot be denied that Xilin Gioro was a kind-hearted person, but kindness alone without principles is useless.

Seeing the old lady sigh, Lin Mingyan's heart skipped a beat: "My mother..."

She didn't want to say whether Xilin Jueluo had done anything wrong, because she was her mother after all.

It takes two lifetimes to meet a mother who loves her so much.

The old lady shook her head: "She has been tortured for so long, yet she doesn't hate the Lin family at all."

"I used to think Zhu'er was that bitch's son, so I was just being foolishly filial."

"Now that she knows that bitch is her enemy, she actually gave her money when she met her on the street!"

The old lady never gets angry easily, but she calls Old Lady Lin, who stole her child, a bitch.

She wished she could eat the flesh and blood of Lin Qiaolan and Old Lady Lin alive.

Knowing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lin family were engaged in the flesh trade, the old lady, who had been kind all her life, spent money to find a few torturous customers and asked them to visit the Lin family from time to time.

But this daughter-in-law, although good in other aspects, actually hurt her so much in this matter.

"What?!" Lin Mingyan blushed after hearing this, but still asked, "Did you ask her...why?"

You can't possibly still have any feelings for that vicious old lady Lin, right?

The old lady shook her head and sighed. She didn't ask, but she knew that she must feel sorry for the beggar.

Poor?

She still felt that the bitch’s retribution was not enough!

She was destined to be childless and lonely all her life.

But she stole her own child and worked as a laborer sucking blood to support her own child.

What's so pitiful about such a person?!

If it weren't for the fact that Xilin Jueluo had also suffered a lot and gave birth to three good children.

She was going to embarrass the other party that day!

After hearing this, Lin Mingyan was speechless and said to herself, "Mom, my mother is ignorant and confused because no one taught her."

"After that, I'll have to rely on you to teach her. Once you explain the principles clearly, she'll learn them."

"As long as it's for her own good, even if you use some tricks, Mingyan will be very grateful."

She knew that the old lady told her this specifically, not to confide in her.

Mainly, I want to see her attitude towards my mother before taking the next step.

Lin Mingyan certainly hopes that she can discipline her mother well, otherwise when the Fourth Master ascends the throne in the future, she will cause a lot of trouble.

But the premise is to do it for the good of my mother, not for the good of Nianhulu.

There is no need to hit the drum hard. After just two sentences, the old lady understood what Lin Mingyan meant.

After a few pleasantries, he said goodbye.

The old servant, Nanny He, helped her onto the carriage. The old lady let out a sigh of relief: "Xilin Jueluo gave birth to a good daughter."

She was unlucky in her life and was unable to give birth to a daughter.

Nanny He squatted down and massaged her legs, asking, "Is the concubine protecting her mother?"

The old lady shook her head: "The concubine is reasonable. Let's discipline Xilinjueluo properly and use some gentle means."

"Give the two girls I asked you to find the other day some money and let them go home and get married."

She originally wanted to take two concubines for Ling Zhu to occupy Xilin Jueluo's mind.

Then, in the fight in the backyard, she learned the cruelty between people.

Now seeing Lin Mingyan's attitude, he gave up the idea.

Judging from how protective this person is of his mother, Ling Zhu will never be able to take a concubine in his lifetime.

Nanny He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's right, I'll teach her slowly. You're not the kind of person who wants to torture your daughter-in-law."

The old lady lived in harmony with her husband. The greatest suffering she had experienced in her life was the loss of a son during childbirth.

Even though her only son's three wives died in childbirth, she never thought of taking a concubine for him.

This time I was so angry that I came up with this idea, but I just found someone and haven't taken any action yet.

"Yes, go back and sort out the household accounts, and take her to learn how to manage the household first," the old lady had already made a study plan in her mind.

When I get back, I'll give the reins of the household to Xilin Jueluo first, so that she can occupy her time for a year or two while she daydreams.

Then give her a few farms with good production to practice on so that she knows how to run them.

Finally, Ling Zhu had a series of gift-giving and social activities in the officialdom, which was enough to keep her busy and dizzy.

Once I have learned all these, my eldest grandson Mingheng will be choosing a wife and getting married, so there will be plenty of things to do.

Nanny He understood her plan and smiled, "You don't have to plan too carefully. If you get pregnant, everything will have to stop."

The old lady choked and sighed: "Oh, that's true."

Xilin Jueluo didn't know why, but her life suddenly became difficult and she was so busy every day that she went back to her room and fell asleep immediately.

The old lady had to chant sutras in the morning that day, and she finally found some time to brew wine with Ling Zhu in the yard.

Ling Zhu is an elegant man who likes to drink, and she happens to be able to brew wine, so the two of them have endless things to talk about.

He was willing to agree to marry her, although he had the idea of letting his eldest brother's child return to his ancestral home, but more importantly, he felt that the Xilin Gioro family was compatible with him.

Before he figured things out, he used the excuse of fate to stay at the hot spring villa for a while and got along well with her.

The two of them sat together, pruning grapes with pruning shears.

The grapes were sent by Lin Mingyan, a whole box. I was afraid they would go bad if I couldn’t finish them, so I thought of making wine.

Lin Zhu's hands were not very dexterous, and he cut one in one go. He didn't get angry, but peeled it and put it to Xilin Jueluo's mouth.

She opened her mouth and took it, saying with a smile, "If you break it again, there won't be many left to make wine."

Ling Zhu smiled and said, "If it's not enough, go buy more. I have money in my private vault."

"No, mother seems angry," Xilin Jueluo was also good at reading people's expressions.

Everything was fine before, but these past few days she always felt that the old lady was much colder towards her.

She wanted to ease the relationship, but she didn't know how.

Seeing that she brought it up herself, Ling Zhu asked indirectly, "Did you meet anyone when you went out on the street last time?"

In fact, he understood everything clearly, but he was afraid of hurting his wife's reputation by saying it directly.

I finally got the chance to say it today.

Xilin Jueluo put down the scissors in her hand and said hesitantly, "Last time I met the Lin family, she asked me for money."

"You gave it?" Ling Zhu coughed.

"I didn't want to give it, but Mother kept hinting at me with her eyes," Xilin Jueluo sighed, "I knew Mother was kind, so I gave her a few copper coins."

"Could it be that she thinks I'm petty and not generous enough?"

If the old lady hadn't been watching her, she wouldn't have given a single penny.

She couldn't help but worry, what should she do if she encounters it again next time?

Ling Zhu's jaw almost dropped: "Ah? You think mother asked you to give money?!"

Isn’t this a huge misunderstanding?

"Isn't it?" Xilin Jueluo was stunned, then suddenly realized: "Did she want me to snatch the broken bowl from her hand?!"
