My husband faked his death so I could remarry, but I got involved with my crazy brother and can'

Linxi Garden.

"How did it go? Did the Marquis say he would release me?" Aunt Feng asked expectantly.

The old woman shook her head. "No."

"How could that be? This vast Marquis's mansion needs someone to manage it. Every matter, big or small, requires someone to handle it. Without me, does the Marquis think he can manage everything himself? The Marquis hates trouble the most!"

Aunt Feng believed that the Marquis's mansion could not function without her.

Moreover, based on her understanding of Lady Qian over the years, it was impossible for Lady Qian to forgive Marquis Shunyang at this moment.

Not to mention managing the household affairs.

Not to mention Madam Qian, even she couldn't accept that her daughter was marrying a dead man.

Now she's a widow everyone laughs at.

Having an affair with her own brother is incredibly shameful if word gets out.

I don't know about the others, but Aunt Feng was overjoyed that she had finally accomplished something and managed to sow discord between the two.

After all, at a time like this, the Marquis's mansion would truly be unable to function without him.

"The Marquis has given the power of managing the household to Consort Tian. Now Consort Tian is in charge of everything in the mansion, big and small." Granny Feng never expected that Consort Tian, ​​who had always been inconspicuous, would be able to take on such an important job.

After all, they had bullied Aunt Tian quite a bit in the past.

If it were before, it wouldn't have mattered; they were still favored, and Aunt Tian couldn't touch them.

But now everything is different.

They had long since lost the Marquis's favor and were now confined to their quarters. With Consort Tian in charge of the household affairs, their future was likely to be bleak.

The more Feng Pozi thought about it, the more frightened she became.

"What?! You gave it to that bitch?!"

Aunt Feng was also shocked.

She never imagined that the empire she had worked so hard to build would be taken advantage of by Aunt Tian.

"What are you saying, sister? You seem to dislike your younger sister who's in charge of housekeeping."

Aunt Tian's voice rang out leisurely, a smile playing on her lips and a triumphant grin on her face.

"My sister was entrusted with this mission in a time of crisis. Originally, my sister only went to check on the Marquis, but unexpectedly, after the Marquis rested in my courtyard, he gave me the steward's key."

"Actually, it was my elder sister who gave me this opportunity. If my elder sister hadn't been so reckless as to offend the Crown Prince, I wouldn't have such good fortune."

These words were laced with sarcasm, and the look in his eyes toward Aunt Feng was full of contempt.

Aunt Feng never expected that the woman she used to trample on would speak to her like this.

But now that she's a prisoner, she can't afford to suffer any loss.

She forced a smile: "Speaking of which, my sister is also a very capable housekeeper. I'm really happy to have her in charge of the household."

"I have been managing the household affairs for many years, and now that I am temporarily punished, I can only trouble my sister."

These words carried the air of a true mistress of the house. Aunt Tian's smile faded slightly. "Sister, at a time like this, what are you still pretending for?"

"Sister, don't you see? Now that the eldest young lady has gained favor with the young master, the madam has also won back the marquis's heart. It's true that you used to charm the marquis with your face, but now you're old and frail. Do you think the marquis will still like your old face?"

Aunt Tian raised her hand and stroked Aunt Feng's slightly weathered face.

She had been eating and sleeping poorly lately, which made her look haggard, and she even had more fine lines on her face.

Aunt Tian clicked her tongue in amazement: "If you say that you were once a beautiful woman, it's a pity that time waits for no one. You don't look like you're in your thirties at all. If you said you were in your forties or fifties, I'm afraid some people would believe you."

"you!"

Aunt Feng was furious, never expecting Aunt Tian to be so disrespectful to her.

"I originally wanted to give you some face, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to argue with you."

"No matter what, I still have a daughter, and my daughter is the Crown Princess. Unlike you, you're just a barren hen. Even if you're arrogant, how long can you be arrogant?"

These words ignited Aunt Tian's anger. She slapped Aunt Feng hard across the face, yelling, "Shut up!"

"You are the last person who has the right to say that!"

"Back then, I clearly had a child, but you sent someone to abort my child!"

"You killed my child and rendered me infertile for life! Do you think I didn't know it was you? If I didn't have evidence, I would have reported you to the Marquis long ago! You vicious woman, you have only yourself to blame for what you've done!"

Aunt Tian felt unbearable heartache when she thought of her unborn child.

That's her child!

Her only child.

He was mercilessly beaten up by this despicable woman in front of him.

"Ha~ What proof do you have that I aborted it? It's your own fault for not being able to keep the child in your belly, what does that have to do with me?"

"If you weren't so useless, how could the Marquis have no son?"

"I heard from the doctor that it's a fully formed male fetus. If that child is born, you'll probably have a much better life than me. Why be a concubine who's not perfect? ​​You could even be a wife."

It was a very dangerous situation back then; if it weren't for her foresight...

How could they possibly maintain their current status?

But that wretched woman, Qian, who has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, even wanted to save Aunt Tian's child.

Fortunately, she was one step ahead.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have such a good life.

The glorious days of the past ten years or so were all earned by her own efforts.
