Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 2018 - 2026: Destroying Scum (4)

Originally, she was just a substitute for Lady Yang’s living position, marrying into Duke Li Guo’s Mansion was to care for Da Yang’s several children, holding the position of the young madam of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, though she didn’t have any real authority, she couldn’t even decide on her dowry, which was just temporarily given to her to reserve for Cheng Xun’s future wife.

Soon after Mo Zijing married young Lady Yang, he learned of this matter. Although he resented Yang’s family’s actions, he had loved Da Yang for over ten years, and Da Yang passed away when she was young, so he couldn’t bear to blame his in-laws. He could only swallow this anger, and over the years, he’s been somewhat indifferent to young Lady Yang, mostly spending his nights in the study, staying at young Lady Yang’s place only on the first and fifteenth day of each month, one for the face of having an official wife, another to fulfill his physical needs. As for the feelings that should exist between husband and wife, they vanished once he knew she couldn’t bear children.

Although without the affection and tenderness from her husband, young Lady Yang’s life in Duke Li Guo’s Mansion wasn’t too difficult. The people within the mansion were kind; even after they knew what the Yang family did to her, no one made things difficult for her. Her two sisters-in-law were also easy to get along with, among them, Lady Mu managed the central finances of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion. She and Zili’s wife, Huan Yun, usually did not manage affairs, but their usual portions were never short, and during holidays and festivals, they received many good things.

With these things, she could support her increasingly ailing parents and several young brothers well, so even without her husband’s love, her life was still okay, just not as prosperous and impressive as originally expected.

Two years ago, Mo Zili had married Huan Yun as his wife. In fact, Lady Bai had decided to acknowledge Huan Yun four or five years ago, and everyone in the mansion referred to Huan Yun as Auntie Yun. Mo Zili’s attitude towards her was neither good nor bad, at least he didn’t reject her service. Two years ago, Huan Yun gave birth to a daughter for him, and the Old Madame spoke, elevating her to the status of the official wife, becoming Mo Zili’s official wife.

Huan Yun was satisfied, transforming from a struggling farm girl who had difficulty getting three meals a day into the radiant young madam of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, even though her husband merely sees her as someone’s shadow, she did not feel wronged.

She loved him very, very much, loved him to her bones, so she was willing to wait, believing that as long as she remained by his side, never leaving, one day, he would forget that person, and only have her in his heart!

Idle talk aside.

Let’s say Fei’er eagerly anticipated the day she would see her sister-in-law after bringing the items over, and Wu’er was also eagerly looking forward to seeing what kind of woman she was, worthy of his elder brother waiting for so many years. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Wu’er was already twenty-one years old, a mild-tempered, unconcerned fat man. Though not massively overweight with a big head and large ears and a protruding abdomen, compared to Wen’er, who was evenly built, he was slightly chubbier.

Though he lived in a house full of bells and whistles, he was unwilling to pursue a career; the scholarly honor he achieved was only to comfort his father. In fact, he liked business just like his older sister!

Ever since his older sister led them to open their first shop as children, he had developed a strong interest in business, always hoping he could replace his sister and become the wealthiest person in Great Jin Nation, however, he had never mentioned this wish to his family.

His father always hoped he and his brother could become senior officials, glorifying the family, and in Great Jin, the grading of people was extremely strict; scholar, farmer, artisan, merchant, and merchants were the lowest in society. Generally, senior official families looked down upon them. At the beginning, it was because there was no food for the family that they agreed for his older sister to go out to do business.

Now, the family has countless homes and innumerable slaves and servants, there’s no need for him to do business to earn money to support the home anymore, so even if he proposed to do business, the family would not agree.
