The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

Qiu Zhenzhou frowned and gave Qiu Bo a look. Qiu Bo quickly withdrew. Only then did Qiu Zhenzhou say to Sun Shi, "What nonsense are you talking about? She is now the legitimate daughter of the Qiu family, and she is to be placed under your name. Don't say anything that will give others cause for gossip."

Madam Sun's eyes were filled with anger as she sneered, "We haven't even seen the birth chart yet, why are you in such a hurry, sir? If the Princess's residence doesn't agree, no matter how beautiful she is, if she can't replace Feng'er, she's useless. She's just a lowly maid."

Qiu Zhenzhou looked rather helpless, a hint of warning in his eyes, and said, "What's wrong with you now? Didn't we agree on this before?"

Madam Sun felt wronged, her eyes brimming with tears: "I did talk to the master, but these past few days, he's only been concerned about that girl and hasn't thought about my Feng'er at all. Feng'er has lost some weight because of this. If something happens to her, how am I supposed to live? Could it be that the master is still thinking about that night fifteen years ago when he was with that warm and soft woman? Does he no longer care about his wife and want to make that slut his wife and become a belated in-law with the General's Mansion?"

Qiu Zhenzhou immediately became furious and scolded in a low voice, "Why are you saying such things? Do you want to lose your head? I'm more anxious about Feng'er's matter than you are, but what's the use of being anxious? Doesn't the princess have to agree? The heir of Qingyan Marquis is fond of beautiful women. None of the concubine's daughters in our mansion are as good as Feng'er. Otherwise, why would I have thought of this girl?"

Sun's face immediately turned cold. She tossed Qiu Zhenzhou's clothes onto the low couch and said in a sharp voice, "So, you're still thinking about that woman?"

Indeed, back then, when the Second Master and she secretly met, didn't the Master also secretly spy on them? Did he sleep soundly at night, dreaming of meeting that slut? Master, have you perhaps forgotten your past glory all these years?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhenzhou frowned slightly and said, "What are you talking about? Aren't we discussing serious matters? If that girl is pretty, given that the young master's lust for beauty, this matter will be much easier to handle."

Madam Sun sneered: "Yes, Master can't forget the taste he once had, can he? There are still those unforgettable beauties in the cellar of our Qiu family mansion. Why don't we release them now, propose to the concubine, and make them in-laws of General Haohe's mansion?"

Sun's words became increasingly outrageous, infuriating Qiu Zhenzhou to the point of jumping up and down. However, Sun was his first wife, and her family held a high status. He couldn't hit her or scold her, so he could only say tactfully, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know the whole story? Alright, let's not talk about the past anymore. Let her keep this matter to herself."

"Forget it? Why not kill that bitch? Now that she's there, she's become a shackle on the master. If it weren't for her beauty, would the master still have feelings for her?"

Sun was not unaware of the taboos involved, but driven by jealousy, she lost her former composure. Even her former gentle and graceful demeanor became uncontrollable because she wanted to raise the child born to a lowly woman as her legitimate daughter.

Shangguan Linglong's existence has always been a thorn in her heart. As long as this thorn is not removed, she feels pain in her heart. But even after more than ten years, this thorn is still there.

She simply couldn't understand what the point of keeping this troublemaker around. Wasn't this just leaving herself a way out?
