The Noble Lady's Rebirth: She just wants to Rest in Peace!-Chapter 251 - 252: Visiting in Person

Mrs. Liu Sr. did not have a strong sense of class distinction, especially after what happened with her daughter. When her son insisted on marrying the daughter of the Sun Family, Mrs. Liu Sr. thought about opposing it, but she was afraid her son, like her daughter, would become estranged from them, so she agreed.

However, Sun was ultimately from a modest family, and her every move and those things she did all showed her petty nature. Such a person trying to act with grandeur just made her even more disdained, with her vanity evident on her face.

Originally, Liu Wen was blinded by youthful affection, but after marriage, he gradually realized this. Nevertheless, he did not have the idea of divorcing her but became much colder towards Sun.

Seeing her son living unhappily, Mrs. Liu Sr. brought another concubine into the mansion for him. However, this concubine was also the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family, but had fallen on hard times due to her family’s trouble, and thus had no choice but to seek refuge at the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Mrs. Gao Sr. saw this and discussed it with the woman, who then entered the mansion as a concubine.

Sun did not dare to express her dissatisfaction, knowing she could not stop it. In such a grand household as the Prime Minister’s Mansion, how could a man not have several concubines?

It was only after the concubine entered the mansion that Sun realized everything was far beyond her expectations. Her grandfather seldom visited her courtyard anymore, although she was still in charge of household matters, nothing had changed from before. However, for a woman, a husband’s love and companionship were more important than anything else.

Sun went back to her family to make a scene and even came to Mrs. Liu Sr. to argue, but after Mrs. Liu Sr. said a few words, Sun dared not any longer.

If she couldn’t even tolerate a single concubine, she shouldn’t be the head mistress.

The rear courtyard of Chancellor Liu’s mansion became quiet. It seemed somehow predestined that Mrs. Kong’s belly had never moved, and the children in the mansion all came from Ms. Yan. Mrs. Liu Sr. did not say anything, and Sun’s belly remained quiet as well, afraid of being divorced, she naturally treated Ms. Yan and the children better.

In this way, Chancellor Liu’s mansion remained quiet without any other issues.

Mrs. Liu Sr. and Liu Wen left the mansion in a carriage, which surprised Sun, "Do you know why Old Madam and Old Master went out? These years, Old Madam hadn’t left the house."

The little maid shook her head.

Sun showed dissatisfaction, "Even if they are going out, how come Old Master didn’t inform me? I am after all the head mistress. Not knowing about their leaving, how would the mansion’s servants see me?"

The servants around dared not respond. It was widely acknowledged that the real head mistress was no longer Sun in the eyes of the mansion’s people.

Though Ms. Yan was just a concubine, the mansion’s children were all born from Aunt Yan, and Old Master went to Aunt Yan’s courtyard. Sun, the head mistress, was just an empty shell put there.

Sun herself understood this, but knowing her belly was not productive, the household could dismiss her based on this point alone. How would Sun dare to make trouble?

However, Sun’s heart was curious about this, "Let someone wait at the door to see when Old Madam and Old Master return."

The little maid responded and left.

Sun did not dwell on this matter. Recently, she heard of a new formula that could make the skin very tender.

Nowadays, Sun was solely focused on how to win Old Master back to her side.

In Lin Youning’s place, upon hearing people from the Prime Minister’s Mansion had arrived after two days, she hurriedly led people out to greet them.

Upon knowing that the Prime Minister’s Mansion was her maternal grandfather’s, Lin Youning realized that her idea wouldn’t work and couldn’t bear with it in her conscience.

At the same time, she worried that the Prime Minister’s Mansion wouldn’t intervene, blocking her last resort. After two days passed and hearing that people from the Prime Minister’s Mansion had come, how could Lin Youning not be excited?

However, upon reaching the entrance and seeing unfamiliar people, Lin Youning didn’t know what to say, feeling somewhat awkward, but with her brother having been in jail for two days without medicine, Lin Youning knew she couldn’t wait any longer. She gathered her courage and walked forward, directly kneeling before Mrs. Liu Sr.

Mrs. Liu Sr. was moved to see the kneeling figure before her; supported by her son, she trembled as she walked forward to help her up, "Good child, you have suffered."

"It’s Ning’s failure, worrying grandmother." Lin Youning didn’t rise but kowtowed three times to Mrs. Liu Sr. before letting her help her up.

Seeing the granddaughter who had such a fine demeanor and so well-mannered, Mrs. Liu Sr. nodded repeatedly in satisfaction.

"Mother, let’s talk more inside with Ning," Liu Wen gently reminded from the side.

He observed Ning, whose age was similar to his daughter’s, her brows reminiscent of his sister. It only made him like her even more.

Although the outside of the mansion didn’t see much traffic, it wasn’t good for so many servants to witness the scene, especially when the familial recognition hadn’t been formalized.

Lin Youning understood this, so she supported her grandmother and uncle into the courtyard, guiding them to the main courtyard, and seating Mrs. Liu Sr. on the soft couch before turning to greet her uncle.

Liu Wen quickly stepped forward to help her up, "Good child, you and your brother have suffered all these years. Your grandfather should have visited your brother in jail by now."

Liu Wen hadn’t inquired about his father’s whereabouts, but with the affection his father had for his sister, now that his sister’s only offspring was in trouble, how could his father remain indifferent?

Only then did Lin Youning breathe a sigh of relief and bowed to Liu Wen, "It’s our failure, my brother and me, for not fulfilling our filial duties over the years."

Mrs. Liu Sr. beckoned Ning to her side and held her hand, "You, child, have suffered for so many years, how could you be blamed? Your elder brother has had a hard time too, you both are good children."

To have come this far without the support of parents and family is already quite difficult.

Moreover, in the Dingyuan Marquis’ place, the granddaughter was not spoiled, making Mrs. Liu Sr. even more satisfied.

Then she asked Ning about how she had been living in the mansion over the years. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Liu Wen listened quietly, not interjecting, but it was evident that he was observing Ning’s every move as she spoke, very satisfied with her.
