C4 The past Is like Smoke

"Miss, this Madame Yang is too much of a bully. Judging by her status, she is even shorter than you. How dare she …" Xiaotao applied the medicine to Lee Miaoyin with tears flowing down her face. There were countless old and new wounds crisscrossing her slender and petite body …

However, Lee Miaoyin said, "Don't worry, Auntie Yang won't be able to be arrogant for long."

Xiaotao didn't understand. Seeing that the young lady didn't want to say anything else, she stopped asking.

Lee Miaoyin no longer spoke as she thought about her own fate. Her own mother, who was also Lee Chengji's concubine, Mo BaiRong, was originally the daughter of a rich merchant and was born with a beauty that could match the heavens. The ones who asked to marry would almost flatten the threshold of marriage, including Lee Miaoyin's father, Lee Chengji.

At that time, Lee Chengji had just failed his examinations and assumed his position as a High Scholar. Because his background was poor and he didn't have a family member to support, even if he had a good job, it wouldn't be his turn. After waiting for year after year for no reason, his shrewd old lady came up with an idea and went to find a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Mo Family were renowned for their wealth. With money, if they could marry Mo Family's daughter, they would definitely bring along a large amount of dowry, and at that time, they would be able to use money to get their hands on an official.

At first, Lee Chengji didn't want to do it. He had a childhood cousin, Yang Suyun. The two of them had been friends for a long time.

Old Li's mother tried to persuade him, but Lee Chengji finally nodded his head.

Jingguo had always been a light merchant, and scholars especially did not like the cunning copper smell of merchants, so merchants were proud to marry a scholar, while scholars were ashamed to marry a merchant.

Lee Chengji, with the title of a High Scholar and his elegant demeanor, quickly stood out among the group of suitors.

When Mo Mansion married to a daughter, with five kilometers of makeup, the Lee Mansion of a small family member would become rich overnight.

Lee Chengji used his wife's dowry to prepare for the government and finally got the position of Zhang County's County Magistrate. Although it wasn't a fat job, it was still considered a part of the government.

They had only been in office for a few days, yet a mother and daughter were already kneeling outside the yamen. It was Lee Chengji's sweetheart, Yang Suyun.

Yang Suyun brought her daughter, who had just turned two years old, to kneel at the entrance of the county magistrate's office and cry out her grievances …

Thus, Yang Suyun entered the Lee Mansion and stayed behind as the aunt. Her child, who was Lee Chengji's blood relative, Lee Miaoyu, became the first child of the Lee Mansion.

At that time, Mo Bailong realized that the husband she had chosen was only because he valued her family's wealth and not herself.

Yang Suyun stirred up trouble in the mansion, making Mo BaiRong, who was still in her sixties, extremely depressed. As a result, she fell ill and died shortly after giving birth to Lee Miaoyin.

Lee Miaoyin was just a baby then, and the adults didn't avoid her. Who would have known that she came from the Modern World? Otherwise, with her age, how would she have known about the secrets of the family?

After the death of her wife, Yang Suyun openly moved into the main courtyard and took control of the Lee Mansion warehouse, taking everything that originally belonged to Lee Miaoyin as her own.

Yang Suyun very quickly gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins for Lee Chengji, which further solidified her position within the Lee Mansion. It was a pity that no matter how much Lee Chengji doted on her, he had never mentioned lifting her as his wife. No matter how much she begged, she was still his concubine.

However, this didn't stop her from torturing Lee Miaoyin's heart. The worst room in the mansion was occupied by Lee Miaoyin, the concubine Shu daughter was accompanied by three other servants, while the dignified direct daughter Lee Miaoyin only had Xiaotao and maidservant.

The tasty food was never her turn. The good clothes could only be used to pick up the leftovers from her concubine sister, Lee Miaoyu.
