Chapter 1,472
Ling Wan's mother, Sun, became overjoyed after receiving the letter from Pei Yu. Her husband was still alive, which was a great joy.
But when she saw that Ling Xianggang had remarried and that his new wife, Feng, was two months pregnant, her heart sank.
She couldn't tell whether she should be happy or worried.
When Ling Xiangsheng married the Wang family, Ling Yu's mother Lan Huijuan was slowly killed by the Wang family.
Ling Xiangsheng favored the Wang family more than Lan Huijuan, and the Sun family all saw it.
For so many years, she had been glad that her husband was an upright man and did not learn from Ling Xiangsheng's habit of doting on his concubines and killing his wives. Who would have thought that now Ling Xianggang also had an extramarital affair.
The old Marquis was so carefree that he was satisfied knowing that Ling Xianggang had been found. He didn't care whether Ling Xianggang got married elsewhere.
Ling Xiangsheng had no chance to seek an official position from Ling Yu since he came back, and he was full of resentment towards the old Marquis.
Now that he heard that Ling Xianggang was still alive, Ling Xiangsheng felt uncomfortable.
If Ling Xianggang dies outside, a hundred years from now, the old Marquis will own everything owned by Zhenyuan Marquis.
Ling Xianggang came back alive and brought a new family. Wasn't he here to fight for his property?
"Congratulations, sister-in-law, there is going to be a baby in the family soon!"
Ling Xiangsheng didn't understand Sun's pain at all, and he was full of yin and yang.
"master......"
Ling Xiangsheng's aunt Gu Cui pulled Ling Xiangsheng's shirt disapprovingly and took him away.
Gu Cui was Ling Yu's before. After Wang's death, Ling Yu graciously allowed her to stay and gave birth to a boy and a half girl.
Gu Cui was only grateful to Ling Yu. She stopped using birth control and wanted to have a child with her.
Seeing Sun's dull look, Gu Cui was full of sympathy for this sister-in-law.
Although Gu Cui was a concubine, she was ordered by Ling Yu to drive a wedge between Wang and Ling Xiangsheng. She knew exactly what a concubine would do to deal with her first wife.
Although Mrs. Sun manages the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion in an orderly manner, she has a traditional mindset. How could she use concubines to tie up her husband's heart?
What's more, this bride is said to be married to Ling Xianggang, so how could she be willing to be a concubine?
Gu Cui could foresee the tragic fate that the Sun family would encounter after Feng Qin entered the house.
Sun was already sad enough, how could she bear to let Ling Xiangsheng continue to rub salt into Sun's wounds!
Although Sun kept comforting herself, as long as she was fine and came back alive, it would be fine.
Unexpectedly, Ling Xianggang came back so quickly. When the maid sent back by Ling Wan reported that Ling Xianggang had returned with Feng Qin, Sun was shocked.
"Quickly, get ready and go out to greet the master in a moment!"
"Mommy, has Master's room been tidied up? Go clean it again!"
"Is the yard prepared for the new wife ready?"
Sun was in a hurry, and it seemed that only being busy could stop her from thinking wildly.
Gu Cui had already received the news and hurried over. When she saw Mrs. Sun wandering around in the courtyard without any order, she felt distressed and stepped forward to grab Mrs. Sun.
"Sister-in-law, you have already prepared these, don't worry about it, go, go into the house and tidy up after yourself!"
The eldest aunt and her husband are kind to Ling Yu, and Ling Yu is kind to Gu Cui.
How could Gu Cui bear to see Mrs. Sun being bullied!
Without saying a word, she pulled Sun into the room, picked out a set of sapphire blue one-piece skirt for Sun, and combed Sun's hair into a bun again.
She also wanted to give Sun Shi powder, but Sun Shi firmly refused...
