Daily life of the mistress

Chapter 70 Xu Guogong Mansion

Lu Lingjun put on the peacock fur coat and Hetian jade hairpin given to her by Qin and went out.
    Qin came from a noble family, from the Duke of Qin's Mansion, one of the four great dukes of the dynasty.

    However, Qin's father stood on the wrong side when the current emperor was fighting for the throne, and he was defeated all of a sudden.

    After Qin's father, Duke Qin, passed away, the emperor delayed letting Duke Qin inherit the title of Duke. Instead, he kicked Duke Qin out of the capital and sent him to guard his fiefdom.

    The current Duke Qin's son, who is in charge of the family, is in his forties or fifties, and is still just a son in title.

    Everyone knows that the Duke of Qin's Mansion was defeated.

    Because of this reason, Qin, who could have married into the royal family, ended up marrying into the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion.

    Their Qin Duke's Mansion is getting worse day by day and is becoming even more low-key.

    On the way, Lu Lingjun heard Qin talking about her family affairs. Lu Lingjun listened quietly. She vaguely heard about her mother-in-law's family background.

    However, because Qin's status was too noble, it was not easy for her to find out about the level of the family, so she did not learn more about it.

    I didn't expect that my mother-in-law came from such a noble family.

    No wonder the Qin family is so generous and the Yu family is so elegant.

    She listened quietly to Qin talking about the past, and only said a few words of heartfelt advice when Qin wanted to listen, without asking or commenting on anything else.

    After hearing what she said, which was extremely measured, in line with the rules and considerate, Qin's admiration for Lu Lingjun grew even stronger.

    "It's such a pity that you only come from a fifth-rank editor family. If you were born in a duke's or marquis's mansion, you would definitely be able to marry into the royal family."

    "Mother, please don't embarrass your daughter-in-law. Yun'er is already very lucky to be able to enter the Marquis's mansion and become your daughter-in-law."

    "You little girl." Qin poked her forehead lovingly.

    Just at this moment, the carriage arrived.

    Lu Lingjun followed Qin out of the car and the first thing he saw was the four large and majestic characters "Xu Guogong Mansion".

    The four major duke's palaces of the dynasty were the Duke's Palace of Zhao, the Duke's Palace of Liu, the Duke's Palace of Xu and the Duke's Palace of Qin.

    Originally, the Mansion of Duke Zhao and the Mansion of Duke Qin were the strongest, followed by the Mansion of Duke Xu, and the Mansion of Duke Liu was the last and the weakest.

    But the Zhao family won the battle of choosing sides back then, and because of the merit of following the dragon, it is now still in great favor and at its peak, with great weight in the court. The Liu family was a fence-sitter, and was initially wavering, but in the end it got lucky and followed the Zhao family. After severely stepping on the Qin family, it is now prosperous.

    The Xugong Mansion has always been low-key and introverted, never participating in any struggles. There is nothing wrong with this, but there is nothing good about it either.

    He was not valued by the emperor at all and gradually lost his position in the Duke's Mansion.

    But even so, the gate of the magnificent Duke's Mansion is not accessible to ordinary people, nor can it be seen.
