Soon Reunited with Close Kin

Chu Hanming wanted to find his mother to argue his case, but this time, Lady Tian finally lost her temper and sternly said, "Enough! How much more of a fuss are you going to make? It's because of your usual laziness and petty greed that Big Brother is treating you this way!"

"I'm just trying to get a bit more silver so that you can live a better life," Chu Hanming defended himself.

"Enough with that nonsense! If you hadn't been involved in those shady activities, would we be getting kicked out of the marquisate? What's the point of pretending to say these things now?" Lady Tian scolded.

Chu Hanming was now feeling wronged, "Are you despising me now? Don't forget, you were born a concubine, and it was me who begged Mother to make you the principal wife!"

Lady Tian responded, "I know exactly how you've treated me. All I ask is that you don't cause any more trouble in the future. Maybe we'll still have a chance to return to the marquisate."
