The inside of the house was pitch black. Holding one hundred and eight sandalwood Buddha beads in her hands, Lin Shu quietly knelt in front of the Buddha, listening to the clamoring and congratulating voices coming from the main courtyard.
Today was the day when her husband, the Duke Chengan, was overjoyed. In the year of the weak crown, he was conferred the title of a second grade official. His descendants had inherited the titles of Duke Chengan s.
However, this glory had nothing to do with her, the Duke Chengan's Madam.
Lin Shu laughed bitterly. She had stayed in this rundown courtyard for three years.
In these three years, her husband, Duke Chengan, had never come here. His initial admiration for her had long turned into hatred, and other than hatred, there was nothing else.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, followed by that charming voice, "Big sister is really in high spirits. On such a joyous day, do you still have the mood to pay respects to Buddha? Has Lord Buddha protected you? It can be seen that this Buddha has no eyes either! "
After saying that, the beautiful woman shook her head and sighed, "No, I was wrong. How can this Buddha not have eyes? If she didn't have eyes, how could she have ended up like this? "
The more she spoke, the more she mustered her strength and charged straight at Lin Shu. The smell of alcohol mixed with the strong aroma of the bird's head forced Lin Shu to turn her body away.
This kind of difficult situation was enough for her to bear for the past three years. The arrogance she had back then had long since been soothed. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to endure this day.
She was the dignified Duke Chengan Mistress. Now that both her legs were broken, she did not even have a little girl to serve her.
Her tender and white hands had already been covered in calluses, and the gaps between her nails were covered in dirt. Forget about Madam Duke Mansion, I m afraid even ordinary maidservants would not be as destitute as her!
However, seeing that she was about to dodge, the beautiful lady did not want to let her go. She grabbed her wrist and said loudly, "What I don't like the most is your arrogant appearance? Lin Shu, what do you have to be arrogant about? That year, you relied on your own identity as the direct daughter of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion to use such underhanded methods to marry into the Duke Master.
"Three years ago, he was pregnant and started an argument with the Duke Master. He couldn't even save his own child and that's fine. Run, run! In the end, you were still caught by the Duke Master and broke your leg! When the female patriarch comes to you, I am afraid they are the only ones in the entire capital right? "
"Tsk tsk, didn't you see that your child was already fully formed at that time? It was a boy, and even I saw his little hands and feet, and his tiny body curled up in a copper basin. I hate that the wife who gave birth to the child couldn't even hold the copper basin properly. Tsk tsk, even I feel heartbroken when I see this. After all, this older sister and this child should call me aunt! "
Lin Shu's body could not help but tremble slightly as she looked at the beautiful young lady in front of him. She was her younger sister who was also from the same father - "Aunt Lian, are you happy? In the past three years, you have always come to me three or four times a month. Duke Master doesn't have me in his heart, I know, but could it be that he has you in his heart? You clearly know that Duke Master took you in as a concubine just to take revenge on me and disgust me? Do you really think you've won … "
However, before she could finish speaking, a slap viciously landed on her face.
