Yanjing, Yang Family.
The current head of the Yang Family, Yang Ming, has been ill lately and confined to his bed.
Yang Ming's wife, who is also Xu Bowen's aunt Xu Lan, returned home at eleven at night from the family's countryside manor, designated for recuperation, after caring for the resting Yang Ming.
"Madam, the second young lady is here, she says..."
The butler's words were cut short by an intense glare from Xu Lan.
"Second young lady? So in your eyes, that wretched woman is the second lady now?!" Xu Lan bit her words, her face twisted into the image of a true shrew.
The year Xu Lan was pregnant, Yang Ming found a mistress behind her back.
If he had only sought pleasure from outside, Xu Lan could have endured it. After all, when she decided to marry Yang Ming, she had already prepared psychologically. It was impossible for a rich young master, from a prestigious family in Yanjing, to be committed to one woman for a lifetime.
