Aunt Lai only quarreled with Mrs. Lai occasionally, and she was confined in the small house next door where she and her daughter ate, but normally their meals were taken in the big house.
Relying on Hongji's father's affection for her, she was able to eat at the table, unlike other concubines from wealthy families, who served their masters like maids.
That is why she didn't think life was so bad, even though she had married an old man, it was after all not like marrying a country fellow, toiling from sunrise to sunset, enduring wind, sun, and rain.
Although she was just a concubine, her living conditions were quite good, living a life as comfortable as a young madam.
Aunt Lai's coquettish voice rang out:
"Eldest Young Master, our Lady has been bullied!"
Hongji stopped his meal, the house being so crowded, his parents and the concubine, along with his wife, sat at one table, while his children and the children of his father's old age were seated at another.
