The sisters in the past were all busy with their own things and were unwilling to pay attention to her even when they had free time.

Why did her life become like this...

Hongdou's eyes blurred and tears began to fall.

The simple courtyard was filled with her suppressed cries.

She cried until the sun was about to set. Hongdou's eyes were swollen and her old handkerchief was covered with her tears.

She thought she would have a chance to wait for the unborn child.

But she seemed to be running out of time.

Anko looked at the bottle of poison on the table.

She didn't dare to poison.

If she was found out, she would be beaten to death, but the eldest lady had already sent a warning, so she would die if she didn't...

Hongdou is just a small person, just an inconspicuous concubine in this marquis's mansion.

If the eldest lady warns or threatens her once, she will do it a second time and a third time.

She could ask the young master to save her once or twice, but could the young master be in the mansion at all times?

In the end, the eldest lady could still execute her at will.

Because she was just an unfavored concubine, her indentures were held in the hands of her master.

How painful would it be to be beaten to death?

Hongdou couldn't imagine it, a wry smile appeared on her face, then she took the bottle and returned to the bedroom.

Beijing, Moon-Watching Tower

Lu Mingyun met with Zhao Xu again, but this time it was not just Zhao Xu who came, but also several other children of powerful people.

Sometimes they discussed knowledge, sometimes talked about state affairs, and sometimes talked about family matters.

This family talked too much and inevitably ended up talking about it in their own backyard.

"My husband just bought a concubine. Alas," said a young man, "I like her very much."

Another young man laughed at him, "Then go and get it back!"

"Forget it. She was sold to a brothel and is probably ruined now. What else should I look for? I might as well find a new one." The young man said disdainfully.

In their eyes, concubines are just playthings. It would be a pity to throw them away, but they will be gone after a while.

There is always a replacement woman.

Seeing that the topic had turned to this, Huang Baozhou immediately turned his eyes, which were squeezed into slits by his flesh, to look at Lu Mingyun. "Speaking of which, I heard that Master Lu is planning to have a bastard son in his backyard. Congratulations."

Lu Mingyun glanced at him and responded indifferently.

"Is this true?" Another young man, Zuo Zheng, was shocked. "Jingzhi, haven't you..."

Lu Mingyun just looked at Huang Baozhou and said, "There's nothing to congratulate. He's just a bastard. Don't you have plenty of backyards?"

"That's right, Huang Baozhou, your backyard is almost full of women!" The other young men laughed.

Huang Baozhou also laughed happily, as if the person being talked about was not himself.

After everyone's laughter gradually faded, Huang Baozhou continued, "Mr. Lu, I recently found a beauty. I know there are few women in Mr. Lu's backyard, so I kept her for you!"

"That beauty's skin is as white as snow, tinged with rosy red. A slight pinch will leave a red mark on her skin!"

"The most important thing is that her hair is golden and her eyes are blue-green. She is an exotic beauty~"

"She's only sixteen this year, so she's a perfect match for Master Lu!"

Lu Mingyun raised an eyebrow and looked at him with interest, "You won't keep such a beauty?"

"Hehehe, actually I have already adopted her elder sister. This younger sister can be considered as my gift to congratulate Master Lu for having a new young master in his backyard." Huang Baozhou smiled obscenely.

Lu Mingyun stared at Huang Baozhou for a long time, then smiled and said, "I'll think about it."

Zhao Xu sat next to him, glanced at Huang Baozhou, and then drank tea.

Lu Mingyun was indeed a little moved by the exotic beauty. He hadn't touched a woman for a long time.

However, who knows what kind of trouble this woman will stir up if she is left in the backyard.

He didn't want to bother with it.

Besides, Huang Baozhou is not the kind of person who would do something nice for no reason.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, the weather was slightly cool and there was no sunshine. It was gloomy outside when I woke up in the morning.

Li Mofu went to bed early last night and couldn't fall asleep now, so he got up and got dressed.
