In a few days, it would be Mid-Autumn Festival, and though there was mourning in the Marquis Mansion without grand preparations, the household was bustling due to Gu Er's wedding set for the twenty-second.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family only gathered in the evening for dinner. This was Lin Youning's first time seeing Gu Yifeng's concubines and illegitimate children since her return.
Gu Yifeng had few offspring. The illegitimate eldest son, Gu Chaoxuan, was conceived by a concubine when Gu Yifeng was heading to the battlefield. The Gu Family broke tradition and raised a maid to a concubine in one night, resulting in her pregnancy.
After giving birth to the eldest son, she was promoted to Aunt He, a maid bought from outside with no relatives.
She was sincere and honest, ordinary-looking, standing there easily overlooked.
