"Amma, Amma, what did you say?" I went up to shake my nurse, trying to get her to explain.

The wet nurse's eyes sparkled brightly.

She smiled, a relaxed and happy smile on her face. She lightly coughed a few times, then extended her hand to caress my hair.

"Mother Wu said I don't understand the rules in the yard and wanted to send me to the stove. "Grandmother said that I was pregnant, so she didn't need to give me any important tasks. She asked me to sew some clothes with the girls in the room, and then gave them to my sister for her to wear. Who would have thought that something like that would happen!"

The old sadness returned to the nurse's face.

"What the hell is going on? Why would he send his wife out, who is carrying her own blood and bones?" I hastily asked. Even a merchant's house like ours wouldn't allow our family's blood and bones to flow outside, let alone a family of poems and books.

"Your mother, she is your aunt, the young lady of the Lu family's direct relatives. That year, the Lu family made money by relying on the Yang family, and married the Shang family's daughter to be the eldest young mistress. Somehow, something had happened in the Lu family. Since Grandma was already old, the Lu family was afraid that they were males. They wanted to preserve their flesh and blood, so they sent Grandma back home. At that time, she was already engaged to the Old Master of the Xue Clan to marry him at home. She didn't expect that the dowry that the Xue Clan sent to Lu Clan that night, along with the Geng Tieba, would be placed at the back door of the Lu Manor. She was so angry that she vowed to go to the temple and be chaste for the rest of her life. "The eldest young master doted on his sister and let his grandma take his sister back to their home. The Yang family dragged their daughter back in the month when they were born, and when they arrived at Jinzhou, they immediately sent a letter saying that all the members of the Lu family had gone to jail and were waiting to be beheaded, their grandma got agitated and had signs of labor. On the boat, they broke the water and had the appearance of a blood clot, and had to run back to the Yang family with ginseng to save their lives."

After finally giving birth to you, there was news that she took the title of a Grand Scholar from Master Lu's Cabinet, and after the fall, she went to the entrance of the vegetable market to ask for punishment, while her aunt cried and wanted to go back and take a look at her father. The Yang family feared that sending her aunt back into court became a crime of concealment, and for some reason, your uncle never got married, and thus forcefully sent her into the bridal chamber under Old Mistress Yang's orders. "After making a ruckus for a few years, my aunt gradually got used to it and started to act like Mistress Yang."

I called my mother for ten years. My aunt?

The news made me gasp. No wonder my mother had been so cold to me all these years.

I served my wet nurse as she drank a cup of tea. She took a deep breath and continued, "The Lu family has always been guilty of a crime, but the imperial court did not kill them. After the late emperor passed away, the new emperor ascended to the throne. He took out the late emperor's death crime edict and said that the Lu family was wrongly accused. Not only is the Lu family negative, it is even more honorable and illustrious than before. "

The truth was definitely not like what it looked like on the surface!

It seemed that the Lu family had stood on the right side but suffered grievances. They used the humiliation from the past to exchange for today's flowers and brocades.

"Great-Aunt sent a letter asking Big Brother to bring me back with sister-in-law and niece, but the Lu family advised her to marry into their husband and refused to recognize her. In the end, when my aunt went to visit some other family, she heard that the Lu family had made a good marriage with the Xue family and married the third master of the Xue family, who was born from a concubine in the family. When my aunt became angry, she wanted to make you look like a beautiful girl to confuse Master Xue. "

So that's how it was! So that's how it was! I was called to sing for the pleasure of men, taught me to settle debts for the management of concubines, and really planned everything for me!

Such a good aunt, I really want to applaud her!

"Then how could my mother be willing? You're just going to watch your own daughter get humiliated, right? " I asked bitterly.

The wet nurse was shocked by my appearance and looked at me blankly.

"In the end, you are also a member of the Lu family!" The wet nurse sighed, "Of course your mother doesn't want to, children are all your mother's flesh and blood, how can she bear to send a good daughter to be someone's concubine? But how can the Yang family compare to the Lu family? The son's close official, the Lu family forced the Yang family to start a business relationship again, and the Yang family didn't dare to force the aunt."

With the attitude of a businessman, the Yang family had made the business all the way to the north and south. Besides hard work, the most important thing was still to have people in the court!

"What about my father? Why hasn't my father come to pick up my mother? "

I asked, tugging at the handkerchief in my hand, afraid I'd hear another ungrateful story.
