I am a Good Man

"Mom, is Aunt Zhang still in charge of the house's accounts?" Ling Yu asked aloud.

Chapter 378 The Unfavored Princess (9)

"Yes." Mrs. Ling nodded, "You also know that after giving birth to Xu'er, my mother's body is still recovering..."

Ling Yu felt helpless when she heard what she said. In order to give birth to her brother, Yang Ruo had indeed suffered a lot. It took eleven years before she gave birth to Ling Xu. Before that, Aunt Zhang had already given birth to two sons. Two or three years younger than her.

Every time he talked about it, Yang Ruo always sighed, and Ling Yu felt that the other person's temperament had been tempered a lot by these years of unhappiness.

Yang Ruo turned a blind eye to what Aunt Zhang did and just wanted to watch Ling Xu grow up.

Ling Yu took a sip of tea and said, "Actually, the prince may not come back, and I can't guarantee it."

"Yu'er, didn't you just say that the prince would come?" Mrs. Ling suddenly became anxious again, "If the prince doesn't come, how will you explain to grandma this time?"

Mrs. Ling was already dissatisfied with what happened last time. This time, it was her old man's birthday party. If something went wrong, it would be terrible.

"Aren't I worried about you because I see my mother in a hurry? Just now outside the door, Aunt Zhang spoke so loudly. Didn't she just want to embarrass me?" Ling Yu lowered her head and said.

"This..." Mrs. Ling didn't seem to pay attention. She had only focused on Ling Yu just now, so she was not thinking about these things.

"She can't see me, and she can speak in front of my grandmother and father. Now she is in charge of the house, and everyone sells her face. If I fall into despair in the future, she will definitely step on me." Ling Yu spoke firmly.

Mrs. Ling's eyes darkened a bit.

Over the years, she really didn't care about many things.

"Mother always said that it is good for the whole family to live in harmony. As the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister, why can an aunt also say a few words? A concubine and a legitimate son enjoy the same treatment. Have you ever thought about it?" Ling Yu's eyes fell on her. On the body, "If one day, this prime minister's palace is handed over to a concubine, do you think it is possible?"

"Your father wouldn't do this." Mrs. Ling shook her head.

"Aunt Ling is very ambitious." Ling Yu met her eyes, her dark eyes were calm, and she said word by word, "Xu'er is still young, and my mother still has to protect him when he grows up."

Mrs. Ling's pupils shrank suddenly.

She naturally knew what Ling Yu was talking about. If something happened to her son, and there would be no one to inherit the Prime Minister's Mansion, it would definitely be in the hands of Aunt Zhang and her son.

"I can no longer help Xu'er. If mother continues like this, there will be no place for us in this Prime Minister's Mansion." Ling Yu said more seriously.

At the beginning, when she learned that she was going to marry Ji Yang, Mrs. Ling was still very considerate and prepared a lot of dowry for her. She secretly asked her not to forget the Ling family.

Ever since she fell out of favor with Ji Yang, Mrs. Ling's expression had also changed, and her attitude towards her was no longer the same.

What's more serious is that Yang Ruo also attributes this to his own fault and hides in his turtle shell to feel sorry for her.

"Then mother, what should mother do?" Mrs. Ling panicked.

Ling Xu was less than three years old.

"The first step is that mother should be in charge of the house. Apart from doting on concubines and destroying wives, no family in the city would let a concubine serve as the head of the house. This Prime Minister's Mansion will belong to Xu'er from now on." Ling Yu said to her.

"But your grandmother's side..." Mrs. Ling was in trouble, how should she speak?

"Mother, why are you embarrassed? After you get well, Aunt Zhang will take the initiative to give in. Now, she is clearly putting herself in the position of the first wife."

"She dares!" Mrs. Ling's inner thoughts did not allow Aunt Zhang to have such thoughts.

A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine.

How can we be equal?

"Except for a title, mother, you know better than I do about what she is doing now, the network of relationships she has established, and the ladies she is in contact with."

Mrs. Ling's expression slowly changed.

In the past few years, Aunt Zhang has indeed done too many things and made good friends with many ladies. Even in the organization of this birthday banquet, she could only intervene in a small part.

The rest was all arranged by Aunt Zhang.

Ling Yu only clicked until then.

Some things are like boiling a frog in warm water, in the end it's too late.

She was not favored in the palace before, but her majesty as a princess cannot be violated by anyone. If she backs down and allows a concubine to step on her, then why should she be a princess?

"Sister, sister."

A childish voice came, and a small figure ran in, followed by several maids.

"elder sister."

Ling Xu ran to Ling Yu and hugged her leg.

"Xuxu, you've grown taller again." Ling Yu picked him up and looked at his innocent face. The smile on her lips became softer.

Previously, Ling Wei was worried about the two concubines who might inherit the prime minister's house. Mrs. Ling was partial to Aunt Zhang and felt that if Yang Ruo was a lady, she would not flatter her.

Yang Ruo had no boys, so mother and daughter were indifferent. They often chose to keep things quiet, not wanting to cause trouble and make Mrs. Ling's impression bad again.

However, this time she married into the prince's palace, she completely changed her mind. No matter what, she was the official wife. The emperor had decreed that the matchmaker was marrying her.

She can still teach a concubine a lesson.

Good people being bullied.

To take a step back, she taught Du Jiaoer a lesson that day, so what if Ji Yang was partial? She was a princess named by the emperor and the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's palace. Ji Yang would not do anything too excessive to her.

"Why did it take so long for my sister to come back? It's been three days." Before he could speak clearly, Ling Xu pouted and stretched out his finger, "I miss my sister so much."

"Sister, I miss you too." Ling Yu said a little sadly.

As a married woman, this is no longer the home she can come back to whenever she wants.

"Then sister lives here, don't leave." Ling Xu hugged her, "The bad guy will bully my sister."

"Who said the villain bullied my sister?" Ling Yu was curious.
