“I just saw the Second Young Lady and Fourth Young Lady. They are very cute. I think their mothers are also very beautiful. Second Master is so lucky.”
The Second Master Shen’s face changed and he took a step back.
Su Yi took this opportunity to enter the yard and asked someone to close the door.
Qing Lian looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Su Yi knew what she was going to say and waved her hand to show that she understood.
It seemed that the Shen Mansion was not a place to stay for long, unless she was willing to deal with the Second Master Shen. Otherwise, the other party would always be rejected.
If he got angry and gave her a divorce letter one day, Su Yi would not care about her reputation, but the entire Su Mansion would be embarrassed.
Although she had just met Master Su and Mrs. Liu, she had a good impression of them and did not want to drag them down.
It seemed that she had to first figure out the potential crisis of the Su Mansion and solve it, and then let Master Su stand up straight and support her to divorce.
“Mao Tuan, do you know who my two nephews are in contact with and how they got involved in the affairs of the emperor’s family?”
Mao Tuan said: [It’s only been a few days, how can it be so fast? Wait a little longer. It’s easy for you to get a divorce. Go and tell that King Rui that you can fight with him, but let him be your backer first.]
Su Yi frowned: “Look at his look, he will definitely not stop until he beats me, so have I to fight with him until the end of time? I’m here to be a parasite, why should I work so hard? Can’t I just drink tea and watch the show quietly?”
[Then, just let him go.]
“Do you think others are like you and can’t see that I can let him go?” Su Yi said contemptuously.
Mao Tuan was so angry that he ignored her.
At the same time, the Second Young Lady of the Shen family had just returned to her room. When she pushed the door open, she saw a woman sitting in the room.
Shen Shuyao sighed in her heart, “Why is Yiniang1姨娘, yíniáng: maternal aunt / father’s concubine (old).
Maybe some of you know that as concubine’s daughters, they cannot call their biological mother as mother, as the main wife is their mother in name.
However, different articles have different rules. But, in general, it’s like this.here?”
That woman was her biological mother, Yiniang Ding from the second branch. She was about thirty years old and quite pretty, but she always had a sad look on her face and was not very likable.
“I heard that the Eldest Madam invited you to have tea.” Yiniang Ding looked cautious.
Seeing her like that, Shen Shuyao felt a little annoyed and a little pity.
Her mother had been like this all her life, always cautious in everything she did, as if she was afraid of offending others, even talking to her own daughter like this.
They were not valued in the second branch, like invisible people. So much so that in her previous life, when she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she was still unengaged because there was no one to arrange it and she had no way to go out and meet those madams.
Later, Yiniang found a marriage proposal from somewhere. The other party talked about it in a very exaggerated way, so she believed it and thought that this good marriage would fall on her unfavored daughter.
She hurriedly ran to the Old Madam to ask for it, but she didn’t know that it was she who pushed her daughter into the fire pit.
She suffered for several years and died in her twenties.
She didn’t know how Yiniang lived after her death.
Whenever Shen Shuyao thought of these things in her previous life, she couldn’t stop feeling resentful, but she also knew that apart from Yiniang Ding, no one else in the world truly cared about her.
Perhaps because she had lived another life and saw things more clearly, she knew that she couldn’t blame Yiniang.
But this time, she would never obey Yiniang and ruin her life.
“Well, except for me, all the sisters in the mansion are gone… and the Second Madam.” Shen Shuyao sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and also poured a cup for Yiniang Ding.
Thinking of the people she met before, she was still a little dazed.
This was the first time in two lifetimes that she saw the madam of their second branch.
In the past, she had only heard people say that she was beautiful, but she didn’t know how beautiful she was. Only when she saw her today did she realize that she was such a beautiful and charming person. Once she saw her, she would never forget her.
Shen Shuyao couldn’t help but envy her.
In her previous life, the other party’s fate was as miserable as hers, but now, she came out of it as soon as she said she would. She came and went freely, and no matter where she went, she was the one that everyone paid attention to.
And what about herself? Where was her dawn? How did her fate change?
Happy Friday, guys!
Recently, I fascinated by ancient-genre novel.
Who else also love ancient-genre?
Hmm, should I embark on the path of ancient? Hehe~
What do you think?
You can support your favorite novel by buying me a cup of Ko-fi ( ˘▽˘)っ♨
I will really appreciate it. ♥️♥️♥️
Meow meow On TPH Chapter 26.1
Yes yes yes!!!! I cannot support it enough!!!! I love ancient novels!!!!!!!!!
Okay, hehe, I’ll stop being dramatic.
I really do love ancient novels, and would read one if you decided to translate one, but obviously, it’s up to you. If you want recommendations on novels to read or translate, I’m also happy to suggest some, hehe.
Wow, I will thank you if you can give recommendation 😍
Please, please… Not only ancient, you can recommend any genre.
I am so happy to add a list in my novel-to-read list.
And maybe I want to translate it😁
Okay!
First off, this one probably won’t suit you, but I like it so I want to recommend it anyway! https://www.novelupdatesforum.com/threads/the-essence-of-the-play-review.129788/ (NU thread)
It’s “Essence of the Play,” originally “ 戏精穿进苦情剧,” which is a noCP QT about the MC, Shui Yin, being pressured by the Good Woman System to be a good woman, and how she resists it.
Other QTs (being translated/translated):
– https://www.novelupdates.com/series/breaking-a-couple-in-every-world/ (快穿之拆散一对是一对), short and sweet, it’s about the MC, Li Huairou, saving her cannon fodder relatives from tragically dying due to loving the ML or FL. NoCP
– https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-female-supporting-role-shows-out/ (女配不掺和), calm and focused MC, the story has a slow first arc but gets better later. Also, there’s a lot of ancient arcs :). noCP!
– https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-life-of-a-cannon-fodder-mother-in-law-quick-transmigration/ (炮灰婆婆的人生(快穿)). A proper good face slapping novel! All ancient arcs, according to a review (I was waiting for this one to update). Has a ML, though it seems he doesn’t show up much.
– https://www.novelupdates.com/series/get-married-in-the-chronology/ (在年代文里结婚[快穿]). Stories in the 1900s, all about love. Author is nationalist and story is very much a “turn off your brain story,” but fun for the theming.
Some oneshots/short stories (fully translated):
– https://www.novelupdates.com/series/our-second-master/ (我家二爷). Comeback story, servant FL x disabled ML.
– https://www.novelupdates.com/series/unrepentant/ (不悟). Tragedy.
– https://www.novelupdates.com/series/mum-i-used-to-hate-you/ (妈妈，我曾讨厌你). Sad story that will make you miss your mom.
– https://novelonomicon.com/short-stories/otome-game-ni-tensei-shita-ga-watashi-wa-akuyaku-ni-nari-sugita/ (Japanese, NU link is broken, linked is a translation). Silly short one to end the oneshots!
Finally, ancient setting stories!
– https://www.novelupdates.com/series/eldest-sister-why-havent-you-married-yet/ (长姐怎么还没嫁人). It has a romance plot, but it’s mostly about female empowerment! Set in ancient times.
– https://www.novelupdates.com/series/greetings-ninth-uncle/ (九叔万福). Female lead is heartbreakingly pragmatic at times. She knows her own flaws and also knows she can’t afford love. She finds it in the end, though :). Has lots of humorous moments, and a smart, calm main character.
There’s more I think, but I don’t write down a lot of them unfortunately, so these are the ones I have written down or have a posting on NU. I recommend all of them, but some are more somber, while some are very silly and sweet, haha.
I hope you enjoy at least one of these!
WOW!!! What a long list! Thank you so MUCH! 😍
Have read ‘Greeting Ninth Uncle’, ‘Breaking a Couple in every World’, and ‘The Female Supporting Role Shows Out’.
I’ll sort out the list and read them in my spare time. But, this series, ‘Mum, I Used to Hate You’, just by reading the title already want to make me cry T.T
Thank you again~
Btw, inspired by you, somehow I also want to make a list of my fav novels! But maybe sometimes later, hehe…
