Chapter 243: Harem Surrogacy Concubine 2
Chapter 243: Harem Surrogacy Concubine 2
At first, the original owner's mother's parents and three brothers were strongly opposed.
The Duke's Mansion, such a high and mighty powerful family is not something that a mere merchant like them can reach.
Although marrying up is glorious, they would rather their daughters marry down.
If other families could still support their daughters, given their huge wealth, I don't think they would bully their daughters.
But that was the Duke's Mansion, they couldn't even stick a finger in there. If their daughter was wronged, they couldn't smell or see it, it would be like tearing their hearts out.
What's more, my daughter is just an aunt. What is an aunt? Just a plaything.
How can they feel at ease?
But the original owner's mother was determined. She cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to commit suicide, causing great trouble to the whole family.
There is no other way. Just get married. Rather than watching my daughter die, it is better to fulfill her wish.
The original owner's mother got what she wanted, but the day when her wish came true shattered her.
After entering the mansion, she endured the mistress's harassment and her husband's cold treatment. Even when asked to use her dowry to fill the deficit in the mansion, she agreed.
She thought that her husband must be busy with official duties, and would remember her kindness when he had free time.
After waiting and waiting, my daughter was born, and then my son was born.
But her husband would only come to be affectionate with her when he had something to do. Every time he came, he would ask her to write a letter to his family to ask for money, because either there was going to be another war or he was short of money.
As for the original owner's mother, she agreed to everything at first, believing that her husband was a duke of a country, and it must have been extremely difficult for him to do so.
Since she married her husband, she regarded him as her God. Only if his family was good would she and her children be good.
As for the original owner's mother's family, how could they not see through the twists and turns involved? But things have come to this point, their daughter has become someone else's, and they have no other choice but to hope that the Duke will treat their daughter well for the sake of money.
But in the end, this expectation was dashed.
The original owner's mother gradually lost heart after waiting day after day, and saw through the handsome man of the past.
From then on, she refused to write to her parents' home again.
Therefore, a few years after giving birth to her son, the original owner's mother passed away.
Without their mother’s protection, one can imagine how the original owner’s siblings lived; they lived worse than the servants in the mansion.
The original owner, as the elder sister, had to go to the kitchen to beg for food for every meal, and what she got was always a pile of leftovers.
No one in the mansion cared about them at all, and many servants even abused them.
The original owner tolerated all of these. The only thing she could not tolerate was that her biological father asked her to write to her maternal grandparents on behalf of her mother to ask for money, endlessly.
The original owner saw things more clearly than her mother. This father only cared about money and didn't care about them at all.
Therefore, the original owner never agreed and refused to write the letter no matter how hard he tried.
The original owner was unwilling to use the money from his maternal grandparents to support the family, even if he died.
Because of this, the original owner's siblings had an increasingly difficult life.
At first, the original owner thought that everything would be fine after she reached the age of 15 and her brother grew up.
She had to find a way to marry a powerful man, and regardless of whether she had a wife or concubines, she would do her best to win her husband's heart, so that she could also help her brother and let him gain a foothold in the Duke's Mansion.
Even if I cannot let my younger brother inherit the position of Crown Prince, at least I can ensure that he will have no worries in his life.
As for herself, it doesn't matter.
But even this little hope was shattered by her stepmother and stepsister.
Although the original owner was not as wealthy as her elder sister, at least she could have enough food to eat when her mother was still alive.
Having inherited the excellent genes from the original owner's mother, the original owner had been a delicate and pretty girl since she was young. As she grew older, her appearance became more and more stunning. Naturally, she became a thorn in the eyes of her eldest sister.
Even though she lost her mother's protection, the original owner and her brother were poor and their appearance was greatly reduced, but her stepmother and stepsister with hearts as poisonous as scorpions still did not let her go.
In the third year after my elder sister entered the palace, my stepmother became anxious because she had no children for three years.
After some discussion, the mother and daughter decided to send the original owner to the palace as a maid, and even boldly drugged the current emperor.
Whenever His Majesty came, the original owner's elder sister would drug her and then send her to His Majesty's bed.
The original owner knew exactly what the mother and daughter were planning.
But her vicious stepmother threatened her younger brother and forced her to enter the palace to give birth to a child for her sister.
The original owner accepted her fate, as she only had this one younger brother.
If she had to sacrifice herself in exchange for her brother's well-being, she would be willing to do so.
After the original owner was sent to the palace, she was very fertile and gave birth to a prince the following year.
The original owner thought that since she had given birth to a prince, she was useless and should either be sent on her way or kicked out of the palace.
But none.
Her elder sister thought that one prince was not safe enough and wanted her to continue giving birth.
Whenever she was pregnant, her elder sister would also spread the news and bribe the imperial physician in the palace early on.
Just like that, the original owner's invisible maid gave birth to three princes in the harem.
All three princes became the eldest sister's biological sons.
And the original owner was eventually sent to death by a white silk thread.
Before his death, the original owner was filled with hatred, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
But in the end, she heard something. When she was about to die, her precious elder sister told her in person that her only brother had passed away before her on the day she entered the palace...
The original owner couldn't close his eyes even in death...
In this feudal dynasty with clear class divisions, concubines and illegitimate children were always inferior to others.
Who would care about the life and death of a pair of illegitimate children?
A hint of coldness suddenly appeared in the warm eyes. Harem? It’s a good experience.
But to take her child away? Humph, that's just wishful thinking.
The situation needs to be expanded. She wants the throne, and the position of Duke as well!
Being in such a family, you have to keep a low profile when dormant, and show your sharp claws when you are fully grown.
At this time, well, there is still more than a month before she enters the palace.
No rush, there is still time to plan. She needs to eliminate some hidden dangers before entering the palace.
This Duke's Mansion has quite a few descendants. In addition to their siblings, there are also their stepmother's two children, her eldest sister and eldest son, as well as three illegitimate sons and four illegitimate daughters.
These illegitimate sons and daughters were treated much better than their siblings, because their aunt was a maid that came with their legitimate mother as a dowry. Although their legitimate mother did not take special care of her, she did not treat her harshly either. She just raised her like an ordinary cat or dog.
And those concubines' children are also very cunning. The younger ones flatter their legitimate sisters and brothers, and the concubines act as lackeys of their legitimate mothers.
The original owner's mother was ignorant of the ways of the world. She didn't resist when she was bullied, and she also didn't know how to say flattering words. She only thought about her lover. One can imagine what would happen to her under the control of the mistress of the house.
Moreover, among those who had a deep affection between master and servant, the original owner's wife was the only one who was brought back by the Duke himself, and she was so beautiful, so she became a thorn in the eyes of those people,
In the entire mansion, they are the only ones who are ridiculed by others.
