Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 46: There are no rules in the mansion, I will teach you the rules

Shen Yun said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, Yun'er thanks mother for choosing such a good family for Yun'er, Yun'er..."

Madam Shen slapped her and said, "Yun'er, don't be as petty as your concubine who can't be on the stage. You should know that our Great Zhou is governed by filial piety. Even if the Grand Tutor is a little older and he passes away, the descendants in the Grand Tutor's Mansion are all your juniors. They all have to respect you and be filial to you. Your good days are still ahead."

Shen Yun knelt down to apologize: "Mother, please calm down. It's all Yun'er's fault. Yun'er will never dare to do it again."

Old Madam Shen was very satisfied when she saw Shen Yun's panic-stricken look: "Yun'er, come and tell your mother, why did you go to your sister-in-law? Did you ask her to help you?"

Shen Yun was trembling all over. "To answer mother's question, Yun'er... Yun'er just wanted to go and pay her respects to sister-in-law and tell her about Yun'er's marriage. Yun'er doesn't have any decent dowry, so she wanted to ask for a few things from sister-in-law to save face."

After saying this, Shen Yun kept banging her head on the ground: "Mother, Yun'er was wrong, please forgive Yun'er."

Madam Shen said to Nanny Li beside her, "Go and let Miss Yun know the rules of our mansion."

Nanny Li walked towards Shen Yun with a few embroidery needles in her hand. Shen Yun's little body trembled constantly: "Mother, please forgive Yun'er. It's all Yun'er's fault. Yun'er shouldn't have asked my sister-in-law for things."

"Yun'er, do you think your mother will believe your lies?"

Old Madam Shen's face was full of sneers: "You are just like your whore aunt, you will always be a lowly servant. Do you really think you can become a young lady of the Marquis' Mansion? You should know that you are a little bitch born of a bitch! If you can please me, you will be the concubine of the Marquis' Mansion. If you can't please me, then you will be a servant of my Marquis' Mansion!"

Shen Yun kept begging for mercy. The embroidery needle in Nanny Li's hand pierced Shen Yun's fair skin, and she let out a cry of pain.

Nanny Li was very good at dealing with people. When she used the needle to prick people, she would specifically look for those places that could not be seen from the light. She would lift up the clothes and prick them. Even if a doctor came, Shen Yun did not have the face to let others see those places.

As Old Madam Shen listened to Shen Yun's wailing, a smile appeared on her face.

In Begonia Garden, Qiu Bi hurried to reply to Gu Nianchu.

"Miss, Miss Yun had just returned to her own courtyard from Haitang Garden when Nanny Li, who was by the old lady's side, called her to Fushou Hall to answer questions. The old lady punished Miss Yun, and Miss Yun cried and howled in Fushou Hall for half an hour. Now her voice is hoarse."

Gu Nianchu nodded: "Why were you punished?"

"The old lady didn't believe that Miss Yun came to Haitang Garden just to ask for some things as a dowry, so she kept having people prick Miss Yun with needles, and the needles were specifically used to prick her shameful places, which was really vicious."

Qiu Bi felt very sorry for Shen Yun: "I don't know why the old lady is so cruel. Miss Yun is the daughter of the Marquis after all. Isn't she afraid of being laughed at by outsiders for abusing a concubine's daughter like this?"

Gu Nianchu waved her hand and said, "That's other people's business. We in Haitangyuan should just take care of our own business."

Qiu Bi was a little surprised. She asked Gu Nianchu in confusion, "Miss, didn't you promise to help Miss Yun? Are you planning to stand aside and watch now?"

Gu Nianchu rolled her eyes and said, "Qiu Bi, if you have so much free time, why not go and embroider some dowry for yourself, so that you won't be in a rush when you get married."

Qiu Bi was dissatisfied: "Miss, are you going to chase Qiu Bi away? Qiu Bi will not leave. Qiu Bi wants to serve you for the rest of her life and will not go anywhere." Gu Nianchu reached out and patted her twice: "Silly girl, you are old now, it's time to get married. If you have someone you like, tell me and I will make the decision for you."

The master and servant quarreled for a while, and then Qiu Bi retreated.

Nanny Tian asked if she wanted to send some ointment to Shen Yun, but Gu Nianchu shook her head: "No, I will do what she asked me to do when the time comes. If I get along with her now, I will harm her."

The Shen family was busy for a few days, and then it was time for the Shen family banquet.

Early in the morning, Lord Shen and his son Shen Ling were at the gate to welcome the guests.

Madam Shen, Shen Jiao and Xu Yan were in the backyard greeting the ladies and young ladies of each family. Shen Jiao was dressed very luxuriously today, and the jewelry on her head almost broke her neck, but she still maintained the most decent smile.

Gu Nianchu was also arranged by Old Madam Shen to greet the guests. Since both the General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion were going to have guests, Gu Nianchu naturally had no objection.

"Chu'er, you don't look well. Are you having a bad time in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Mrs. Gu's wife, Mrs. Liu, stepped forward, grabbed Gu Nianchu's hand and started muttering that she looked very bad. This was a blatant slap in the face of the Marquis' Mansion.

They said that their Marquis Mansion had abused Gu Nianchu.

"Madam Gu, you are really wronging our mansion. Our mansion treats the young lady of your general's mansion very well. For example, she made eight sets of clothes for the New Year at Jinxiufang, spending 16,000 taels of silver."

Madam Shen laughed and confronted Liu without giving in. Liu snorted coldly, "Madam Shen, your words will cause misunderstandings among outsiders. It's just a few sets of clothes. Is it worth showing them to your family? Your mansion is not so poor that you are even calculating the money for making clothes for the wife of the first wife."

The ladies of the Xie family also covered their mouths and laughed: "Cousin, you forgot that this mansion is so poor that it can barely make ends meet. A few days ago, they spent hundreds of thousands to marry a concubine. How could they have the money to make clothes for Chu'er?"

"It is said that the concubine is in charge of the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion now. We really have no choice but to accept it."

The ladies of the Gu and Xie families were merciless in their words. They exposed all the secrets of the Marquis' Mansion in front of the ladies and girls from other mansions.

Old Madam Shen was so angry that she really wanted to just pretend to faint.

But no, today is the big day she planned for Shen Jiao, she can't faint.

"Ladies, please take a seat."

Xu Yan lowered her head and asked them to take a seat. Liu slapped her in the face and said, "Who the hell are you to seek a place of presence in front of us? Do you really think that every family in Kyoto City has no rules like the Marquis' Mansion? Concubines have their own rules. Don't show up in front of the wife of the main house."

Xu Yan was slapped by Liu and felt dizzy. She fell to the ground with a plop. Her eyes were filled with tears. "Mrs. Gu, please don't go too far!"

"Madam, is this the rule in your mansion? This concubine dares to act so arrogantly in front of the wife's family. If we were not here, I don't know how she would bully us."
