This is not a professional translation; you have been warned. ʘ‿ʘ

After much persuasion, the second madam finally recovered some calmness.

She slowly took a deep breath and said, “I naturally understand what you said, nanny. I’m just angry of Zhao-shi’s trick behind my back.”.

Liu Mama said, “Madam, you have to let go and take a step back. If the first madam is against the crown princess, the Chen family can’t spare her. When it’s time that you see the eldest lady is torn between her niece or the Chen family, she naturally will suffer.”.

The second madam smiled a little, and she seemed to have imagined the situation where the first madam is suffering.

“What do to do next, nanny? The old madam said that I should enter the Palace tomorrow and convince the Crown Princess about it. The old madam’s meaning was to take Zhao Xi Yue as a concubine to the East Palace. Zhao-shi that bitch, unexpectedly persuaded the old lady to let Zhao Xi Yue be a concubine to the prince! “

At the end of the day, the second madam got angry again, obviously hating the eldest madam deeply.

“Madam, you should follow whatever the old lady says. For the sake of today’s plan, you still need to persuade the crown princess. After all, the crown princess still needs the support of her maiden’s family. If it’s not for our family to enter the East Palace again, which round will get the daughter of the Zhao family. But in this way, the thoughts of the third and fourth madam are lost. Why not take the opportunity to be a good person and let the third and fourth madam know who to hate? “

“I must teach this good person. She makes me sick and I won’t make her better! And that Zhao Xi Yue, Zhao-shi doesn’t say let her help the crown princess to open branches and leaves for the crown prince? I’ll let her do a good job for the prince! “

After that, the second madam said some private words to Liu Mama, so she stopped talking.

The next day, the second madam get ready to go into the palace. Unexpectedly, they were stopped by the old madam when they were going out.

The old madam was still not assured to let the second madam negotiate with the crown princess. In addition, since the crown princess entered the East Palace, she has not talked with the crown princess for a long time, except for the feast in the Palace during the Spring Festival.

Today, when she enters the palace, she was not only planning to do what was discussed, but also tell her granddaughter some of her thoughts.

Without mentioning it, Pan Er received the news the next day.

It actually came from Xiang Pu, but it was the trivial words among the little girls.

Pan Er only knew that the old madam called the second madam to Rongan hall. When she came back, she seemed to be angry. In the early morning of this day, the old madam and the second madam went into the palace together. Due to this, she knew that what she had asked Pei Yong Chang to do had been done.

She can’t bear herself to think more because Pei Yong Chang sent Aunt Qing here.

Pan Er has never been home since she was sent to foster care at the age of seven.

In addition to New Year’s day, her mother only visited her a few times.

She was in an awkward position in the ‘foster home’, saying that she was a foster daughter, but was not. The ‘mother’ is not close to her but what the other sisters learns at home she also needs to learn.

So she had to get along with Aunt Qing more.

Aunt Qing is the nurturing Mama of the “family”. She was born in this kind of business and her life was bitter. It’s said that in those years, she was a famous beauty in the brothel sought by many in [1] Qinhuai. After years of falling into the dust, she finally found a scholar to treat her sincerely and marry her.

She thought it was a break from the bitter water but who knows the impermanence of the world. Men are fond of the new and dislike the old. They say that love is heavy, but they are greedy for the call of flesh. Slowly after being with each other every day, the bitter water in them comes up bit by bit.

The man said that he was a man of elegant style, but in fact, he did nothing in his career.

There is an old mother and two servants in the family, but they are strong in the outside world and weak in the middle. Aunt Qing’s family couldn’t support her in the past few years, so she had to rely on the private house she had saved to supplement her family.

In this way, her mother-in-law was not grateful but despised her humble birth and ruined her son’s reputation. After many difficulties, she did not say that Aunt Qing had nothing to go out of and forced her daughter-in-law to take a concubine for her son.

When the concubine was brought in and gave birth, her married life had been even worse.

The man was born without hardships, useless, and unwilling to go out to make a living. Aunt Qing waited on her mother-in-law, but also worried about her family’s livelihood, and the life became more and more difficult. Seeing the malicious concubine’s slander, he asked the man to sell aunt Qing for money before she was old and weak. Aunt Qing had no choice but to rise up and find a living for herself.

This camp is to teach the family’s thin horse.

Aunt Qing was originally a thin horse, and was instructed by a famous teacher. She had seen and heard a lot in those years when she fell into the dust, and she knew this way well.

Relying on this business, aunt Qing saved herself, but the husband and wife also exist in name. Aunt Qing doesn’t go home at ordinary times. Only when the man comes to ask for money will the couple meet.

Aunt Qing sympathized with Pan Er’s situation. She has taught Pan Er many things in private. She has helped Pan Er a lot though she didn’t learn well.

Pan Er of the previous life, just like this life, was sent to Chen’s family by Pei Yong Chang, and then to the East Palace.

In her last life she didn’t want to trouble Pei Yong Chang so she was only sent alone

This is undoubtedly a stab in the Crown Princess’s heart, so Pan Er was in a bad situation after entering the East Palace. The Crowned Princess not only wanted to use her to win over the crown prince, but also could not see her being favored, and repeatedly fought against her.

She was not familiar with the world and was timid. She only knows that she was bought by the Chen family and was to be used by the Crown Princess as a concubine for the Crown Prince. She has to work for her. She didn’t dare to be angry and give in repeatedly.

Not only that, the Crown Princess didn’t want her to be pregnant and she secretly harm her body more than once. Pan Er found out this by the way of medical treatment and fragrance adjustment that she learned from Aunt Qing.

After that, she was able to give birth to three princes because of this.

Later, she finally had the ability to ask someone to find aunt Qing in Yangzhou, but it was five or six years ago, Aunt Qing had already died.

The person she sent said that Aunt Qing was killed by the man because he was incited by the concubine.

T/N: Chen second madam (－‸ლ), poor Aunt Qing (◞‸◟；).

[1] Qinhuai [Qinhuai District] – is one of 11 districts of Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province, China.
