The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Mrs. Hou walked up to Lu Menghua and looked down at her.

Lu Menghua's face turned pale, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "Mother..."

"Don't call me mother," Mrs. Hou said lightly, "I can't be your mother."

Lu Menghua pursed his lips and did not dare to say anything.

She didn't dare to say, not to anyone, that she had never called Mrs. Hou mother since she was a child. Even if she calls, Mrs. Hou never answers.

She didn't know what she had done wrong.

Mrs. Hou said calmly: "Did anyone force you, frame you, or seduce you regarding your affair with Tang Xiuyan?"

"……No."

"So this is all of your own free will?"

"Yes, I volunteer."

After Lu Menghua finished speaking, he slowly lowered his head.

Mrs. Hou nodded, and then said: "As the legitimate daughter of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, you have been exposed to wind and rain since you were a child. Have Mr. Hou and I ever treated you unfairly?"

Lu Menghua: "...No."

"Since we haven't, there is no hatred between us at all. You voluntarily chose to take this path today, right?"

"……Yes."

"That being the case, no matter what happens in the future, it has nothing to do with me and the Marquis."

Lu Menghua looked up at Mrs. Hou, feeling cold in her heart, but she could only bite the bullet and said, "I am going to take this path today. No matter what happens in the future, I will never blame my parents."

Mrs. Hou nodded and turned to look at Lu Gaofei: "Master Hou, what about you?"

Lu Gaofei took a deep breath, turned around and said, "You make the decision."

Mrs. Hou turned back to Lu Menghua and said, "Since you have chosen your own husband, and since you have chosen your own path, it is not easy for me to stop him. Now that the matter has come to this, all I can do is fulfill it."

"The Marquis and I agreed to the banquet between you and Tang Xiu."

"But you can't marry as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis. After all, you are a concubine. Our Marquis cannot afford to lose such an important person. The Marquis and I will prepare a dowry for you to ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

Lu Menghua finally shed tears.

"Mother, I don't want..."

She once maintained her identity as the legitimate daughter of the Hou family and looked down upon Lu Jiuqing, a concubine. Now that she was getting married, she couldn't accept it as her legitimate daughter.

It was already too much to be treated as a inferior concubine in the past, and to do so now was hard for Lu Menghua to accept.

But Mrs. Hou had already turned around and sat back, and said to herself: "Hide your belly well, don't let others see it. After you pass, count the days carefully, so that you can have an explanation when you are born in the future."

Mrs. Hou explained a lot with a cold face, with a businesslike look, without any trace of a mother's friendship for her daughter.

Lu Jiuqing watched with cold eyes, thinking, if the He family was here, it would be a different story, right?

Although He is stupid, her behavior and reaction are those of her biological mother.

Lu Jiuqing's eyes fell on Mrs. Hou, trying to find something out of this person.

This person...should have been his biological mother. After she was reborn, she looked forward to recognizing her mother many times, and even fantasized about recognizing her many times. But as the number of contacts increased, Lu Jiuqing became less and less afraid to think about it.

She could not see a trace of motherhood in Mrs. Hou.

While Lu Jiuqing was watching Madam Hou distracted, Madam Hou suddenly looked over. The moment their eyes met, Lu Jiuqing straightened her back.
