That night was the most peaceful night Chu Mingyue had slept since her mother Yan became paralyzed.

In the middle of the night, she hugged her daughter and had a dream in a daze.

In the dream, Pei Jiuniang did not go to find her. She stayed in Yanjia Village. Under the torture and beating from Yan's mother, she finally couldn't bear the burden and fell into the water in a daze.

After that, her daughter was brought back to the Chu family, but was beaten and scolded by Gu Lanzhi and abused by Chu Xingzhou. Her daughter's life was worse than that of a servant in the Chu family. Later, when her daughter just had her period, Gu Lanzhi forced her to be Chu Xingzhou's concubine. Chu Xingzhou had some problems in that aspect, and he always beat Ruolan until she was covered with bruises.

Her family members, including her father, mother, brothers, uncles, cousins ​​and brothers, all look alike more than once, but no one helps Rulan.

Her Rulan was eventually beaten to death, with bruises all over her body.

Neither Chu Xingzhou nor Gu Lanzhi wanted to buy a coffin for Rulan.

Later, it was the short Gu Yu from the Gu family who knelt in front of the Chu family's door. For the sake of face, the Chu family hastily bought a cheap coffin for Rulan.

Its daybreak.

wake up.

But Chu Mingyue couldn't extricate herself from the dream for a long time.

For some reason, she always felt that this dream was not just a dream.

Looking at Rulan's young face, she didn't dare to think about why she had to go through all that.

Why did her so-called relatives treat her daughter like this?

The Chu family gave birth to her and raised her, so she always put the Chu family first and never dared to overstep the line.

But why did they adopt Rulan, but watch her suffer all that?

Parents, brothers, why?!

Why did he remain indifferent when hearing Rulan’s cries?

At this moment, something quietly changed in Chu Mingyue's heart.

Pei Jiuniang originally wanted to remind Chu Mingyue to make plans earlier.

After all, Gu Lanzhi grew up in the Marquis' Mansion, and there are many people in the Mansion who know Gu Lanzhi.

She brought Chu Mingyue and her daughter into the house yesterday, and she couldn't hide it after all.

But I didn’t expect that I hadn’t finished my breakfast yet.

Gu Lanzhi and the old lady of the Chu family came.

When the servant came to report, she was having breakfast with Chu Mingyue and their two children.

Yu Ge's face was full of smiles that he couldn't hide, and he even leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Mother, can this sister stay forever?"

She didn't say anything, but just glanced at Chu Mingyue indifferently. For some reason, she always felt that Chu Mingyue today was a little different from yesterday.

Yesterday, there was forbearance and determination in Chu Mingyue's eyes, but she was also entangled. But today, there is only determination in Chu Mingyue's eyes.

She didn't know why Chu Mingyue had changed so much in just one night, but she didn't like to spy on others.

And she felt that Chu Mingyue's changes were good.

But when she heard that someone from the Chu family was coming, she subconsciously wanted Chu Mingyue to avoid them, but she didn't expect to be directly rejected by Chu Mingyue.

"Madam, I have troubled you enough. I know I can't avoid it. It's better to come here. I might as well talk it out directly."

There was a calm look in Chu Mingyue's eyes as she took care of Rulan's breakfast.

Rulan hadn't had such a delicious breakfast for a long time, and her little mouth was filled with food.

Yu Ge was beside her, and he made a big promise to her, "My mother can make a lot of food, let her make it for you in the future."

Pei Jiuniang looked helpless, thinking that she had raised this son in vain.

She has not even married yet, but she is already asked to serve her future wife.

Rulan smiled and said, "My mother can also prepare a lot of food. I will ask her to make it for you."

The two little guys were eating with excitement, but they didn't know what they were about to face.

It was not until Old Madam Chu and Gu Lanzhi forced their way in together that Rulan turned pale with fright when she saw them.

Seeing this, Brother Yu hurriedly held Rulan's hand.

Pei Jiuniang watched calmly, her eyes sweeping across Chu Mingyue's cold expression, and she always felt that there would be something good to watch today.

"Mingyue, it's really you. Why don't you go home when you return to Beijing? Also, how come you have more white hair than me after only one year of not seeing you?"

When Old Madam Chu heard Gu Lanzhi say early in the morning that Chu Mingyue would return to the capital and stay at the Marquis' Mansion, she came over angrily with a lot of words and resentment in her heart, but when she saw the changes in her daughter, she was still stunned.

Gu Lanzhi on the side was also a little confused. If it weren't for that silly girl beside her, she almost didn't recognize Chu Mingyue. In her impression, this sister-in-law was a beauty. How could she have aged so much in just one year?

But what does this have to do with her?

She pressed the corners of her mouth and asked unhappily, "Sister Mingyue, you came back without saying hello, what about your mother-in-law? She is old, has lost her son, and is paralyzed. If you leave her alone, she will die. How can you be worthy of your brother-in-law? If this gets out of hand and spreads, how will people outside view our Chu family?

You can't be so selfish that you don't care about the future of your father, brother, and the entire Chu family?"

After hearing this, Madam Chu finally came to her senses. The pity and heartache she felt for her daughter who was so old disappeared. She followed Gu Lanzhi's lead and said to Chu Mingyue with a cold face, "But your mother-in-law is dead? Even if she is dead, you still have to wait for the three-year mourning period to be over. You are the daughter of the Chu family, you can't be ignorant of this, right? I asked you to read so many female instructions in the past, and you just ate them all?"

The little maids serving Pei Jiuniang couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Her parents always feel distressed when they see her losing weight.

How come the young lady from a wealthy family is not as good as her?

But she just glared at him and didn't dare to say anything.

Just looking at Chu Mingyue's eyes, there was some pity.

"My mother-in-law is still alive, so my mother and elder sister-in-law don't need to worry about her."

Chu Mingyue fed Rulan a mouthful of meat porridge and wiped the corners of her mouth. Then she looked sternly at Old Madam Chu and Gu Lanzhi. What she said stunned the latter.
