Chapter 1545 Su Jingyu
"My daughter is so beautiful, there isn’t a woman in this world who can compare with you," Xu Minglan’s face was full of tenderness.
"It’s only Mom who loves me the most. Unlike Auntie, who even tried to persuade against my marriage to Xiao Yuchuan," Gongsun Qianru’s face was filled with anger, "She herself probably wants her daughter Gongsun Qianshuang to marry Xiao Yuchuan. I’ve heard that Lady Xiao has a servant girl named Shuang’er. I wonder if it’s a coincidence, or if even the heavens think Gongsun Qianshuang is just a lowly concubine daughter, sharing a name with a maid."
"That’s a comment you should only make in front of me," Xu Minglan said, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "If word spreads, it gives people reason to pick faults with you."
"I only say this in front of you. In front of outsiders, I am Qianshuang’s good older sister," Gongsun Qianru replied.
Xu Minglan was somewhat exasperated, "You... You have to make Mom proud. It wasn’t easy for me to finally become the main wife of the Gongsun family. Don’t listen to your aunt; she just can’t bear to see you doing well."
Speaking of her father’s main wife, Gongsun Qianru complained, "Mom, I really don’t know what Dad was thinking. Su Jingyu was insane for so long, and he only promoted you to be the main wife last year. That’s not even the worst part, she only gave birth to a loss-making good, and that loss-making good died eleven years ago. You gave birth to my older brother and me for Dad."
"It’s because Su Jingyu was born beautiful," Xu Minglan said, with a trace of sarcasm in her eyes. "Even though she was a madwoman and didn’t grow old or ugly, your dad thought she could still have children, and that’s why he didn’t discard her. But now, finally, the storm has passed. If I weren’t promoted, you could never have been elevated from a concubine daughter to a legitimate daughter. Without being the legitimate daughter, you would not be worthy of Xiao family’s direct descendant. It’s just that last year, you were betrothed to heir of the Xiao Family, Xiao Jingyuan, and it turned out he was a fake. Now that Xiao Yuchuan, the real heir, is back, you must firmly capture his heart!"
"Of course, I refuse to believe that I, a legitimate daughter of a first-class family, would lose to a village girl!"
