Aunt Mei started crying when she heard that. Then, she said while crying, "Ever since the incident at the Gu family in the capital two years ago, our madam's life has not been good.
"She had been poisoned once before, and it was then that I heard it was Young Master Chengrui who had cured her of it.
"Ever since she went back last time, madam's life had worsened. Not long after, her second daughter fell into the water and almost lost her life.
"Madam was in a terrible state of mind and moved to the manor.
"She had stayed there for more than a year, and she didn't expect that her husband's new wife would give birth to a son.
"A month ago, her ex-mother-in-law urged the husband to demote madam to a concubine.
"However, if the madam became a concubine, her two young daughters would become daughters to a concubine. This would be bad news once they fell into the hands of the new madam; therefore, madam proposed a divorce.
