Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

As soon as Mrs. Du entered the room, she sat upright on the bed and said solemnly: "Weier, mother has never told you about your grandfather's family. Today I will tell you something."

When Caiwei heard that her mother had brought up the topic so seriously, she unconsciously twitched the corner of her mouth, unable to hold her forehead and said, "You said----"

Ignoring her daughter's perfunctory demeanor, Mrs. Du looked out the window and said in a faint tone: "Actually, mother is the daughter of a concubine in the Duke Anguo's palace in the capital. She is what people call the fourth lady."

As soon as she finished speaking, the helplessness and perfunctory look on Caiwei's face suddenly turned into shock. She didn't expect that my mother's background was so big!

Seeing her daughter's expression, Mrs. Du smiled to herself and said, "The fourth young lady of the dignified Duke Anguo's mansion, doesn't she sound very impressive and impressive?"

"Yes Yes Yes......."

Caiwei nodded repeatedly with admiration in her eyes, but she couldn't figure out why her mother would marry a poor scholar like her father if she had such a great status, and she had to endure the inhuman treatment of her parents-in-law for more than ten years. ?

Mrs. Du saw her daughter's thoughts and said with a wry smile: "Actually, this fourth lady is just a false name. Because she is a concubine, she is destined to become a chess piece and cargo for the family's interests. She will sacrifice herself for the interests of the family. The legitimate daughter is here." While they were learning poetry, etiquette, and being in charge of the middle class, the daughter of a concubine had to learn some singing, dancing, and singing techniques to please the men; while the daughter of a legitimate daughter was happily married to a young general of similar age and became his wife, the daughter of a concubine was I want to marry an octogenarian who is more than ten years older than my grandfather as my concubine..."

Caiwei covered her mouth and said in shock: "Mother, you, are you..."

Du shook her head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Although Mom has always been weak, she did not bow to fate that time. She escaped from Anguo Palace a few days before she was sent away by her family, and was later rescued by your father. So, I married your father and followed your father here!"

"That's it!"

Although Caiwei already knew that her mother was saved from danger in the end, she was still worried and worried about what her mother had experienced. When she heard that her mother had not been substantially harmed in the end, she felt relieved and sat down on the couch next to her mother.

She hugged her mother's arm, feeling distressed and admiring at the same time and said: "Mom, I didn't expect you to have experienced such a thrilling experience. Fortunately, you are fine now. But speaking of it, you are really amazing. You have the courage and courage." , Dare to resist feudal arranged marriage, an ordinary woman would definitely not dare to do this!"

Du Shi smiled and said, "I have always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but I would rather die than marry someone as a concubine. Do you know why?"

Caiwei hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it because you have a high heart and want to be a real wife?"

Mrs. Du asked again: "Do you know why my mother must be the first wife?"

Caiwei shook her head: "My daughter doesn't know."

Du said: "I grew up in Houmen, and I was used to the intrigues in the back house, and I also saw many tragedies that took human life lightly. Once, in Nong'an County on the outskirts of Beijing, the head of a wealthy family married a beautiful concubine. For a while, he was favored by no one else, but later, as people often say, flowers never bloom in a hundred days, and the head of the house had a new favorite. The mistress had a grudge, so she ordered people to crush the garlic and force it into the house. In the birth canal of the concubine, he ordered someone to take a thread and sew up the vagina of the concubine. The concubine was in great pain and screamed day and night. Later, she was discovered and reported to the county government. The county magistrate was so cruel to the woman that she had the concubine killed. The woman took her to the court and ordered people to take needles, thread, garlic and other things and punish the poisonous woman in the same way. The head of the family was afraid of ruining his family's reputation and begged the county magistrate. The damaged city gate and gate tower inside were repaired before the woman could be spared. Later, the owner of the family spent all his wealth to repair the city tower, and the world called the city tower 'Sewing Yin Tower'."
