Daily life of the mistress

Chapter 1 Rebirth and Marriage

After the Spring Banquet, the eldest sister asked her mother to exchange the visiting cards between the two families. Lu Lingjun then knew that she had also been reborn.

    In her previous life, she and Lu Hanyi were both favored by high-ranking families at the Spring Banquet. One family was the Ningyang Marquisate, whose ancestors had made outstanding achievements and had inherited the family from generation to generation; the other was the Li family, a sixth-rank member of the Ministry of Rites.

    Their Lu family is a fifth-rank Hanlin book editor. Although they hold a fifth-rank official position, which is not low, they are actually a clean family with no power or influence. If their children can marry a sixth-rank official in Beijing, it would be a good match.

    The Ningyang Marquis' Mansion is a family of nobles and meritorious service, a status that the Lu family dare not even dream of.

    Of course, there is a reason why the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion took a fancy to the small Lu family. The young master of their family has a concubine whom he dotes on very much.

    The concubine came from a brothel. The prince once smashed a restaurant for her, spent a huge amount of money to compete with others, and even spent ten thousand taels of silver to redeem her and bring her into the mansion. He once made a bold statement that he would be with her for the rest of her life, and the wife of the Ningyang Marquis was so angry that she fell ill several times.

    Such behavior had already made the noble families comparable to the Ningyang Marquisate shake their heads and sneer at them. How could they dare to marry their precious daughters to such a mansion to be bullied?

    Unable to find a suitable match, the wife of the Ningyang Marquis lowered her sights and only sought a virtuous daughter-in-law who could stabilize the family, was intelligent and capable, and had the ability to handle affairs in a reasonable manner.

    At the Spring Banquet, he took a liking to the Lu family.

    Even though the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion is like this, this marriage is still an extremely good one for the Lu family.

    Unfortunately, Lu Lingjun didn’t get a chance.

    Lu Lingjun is the eldest daughter of the Lu family, but her biological mother died early, and the one in charge of the family now is the second wife. Naturally, this best marriage will fall to her biological daughter Lu Hanyi.

    In her previous life, she was arranged by her family to marry into the Minister's family, and her younger sister Lu Hanyi married into the Ningyang Marquis's family.

    Because the prince doted on his concubine too much, the Ningyang Marquis' parents-in-law were particularly kind to Lu Hanyi. Not only did they give her the power to manage the household early on, they also supported her in everything. Even when she had a conflict with the prince, they would make decisions for her regardless of the reason.

    For a time, Lu Hanyi enjoyed great success and lived an exceptionally comfortable life.

    Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long.

    Relying on the favoritism of her mother-in-law and father-in-law, she became increasingly intolerant of the concubine and provoked her every time, determined to fight her. However, because of her coercion, the love between the prince and the concubine became even stronger. After a big fight, the prince eloped with his concubine in a rage.

    After that, she became a sinner in the Marquis's Mansion. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law were extremely disappointed in her. They took away her housekeeper rights and made her live as a widow in the yard.
