Chapter 790: Does Everyone Hate Mistresses a Lot?

Princess Mingzhu didn’t notice the fact that her status was no longer the same. She was no longer Princess Mingzhu and was just a mistress. The main wife even had the right to sell her, but she continued to live inside her own world, not knowing anything and not caring about anything.

The old madame’s face was black during the entire course of this meal and her ivory chopsticks struck her bowl very loudly. An You finally noticed that his mother didn’t seem very happy, so he asked, “Mother, do these dishes not suit your taste?”

The old madame: “Haha.”

After breakfast, An You left with Mingzhu. The old madame slapped her chopsticks down hard. She was so furious her voice was trembling. “What kind of education did she have? I’ve never seen someone with such unacceptable behavior!”

All Ning Shu could do was console the old madame and tell her not to be too angry. It was natural for An You to treat Mingzhu like she was a precious pearl.

It was easy to love, but only continuing to love would make it true love.

Ning Shu took An Lingyun along to participate in all sorts of noblewomen gatherings to allow An Lingyun to see more of the world. At the same time, it would give An Lingyun a chance to meet her potential mother-in-law.

A lot of noblewomen looked towards Ning Shu with sympathy. In the past, An You didn’t have a single mistress, but now a shameless Princess Mingzhu had suddenly appeared. All of them warned Ning Shu that she had to make sure the mistress kept to the rules. Right now, Mingzhu was nothing but a commoner so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Ning Shu just smiled and nodded as a response, so the other madames’ eyes filled with even more sympathy. Her own husband had been stolen by another woman, but she still had to stay strong and smile like she was fine with this. They started talking about how to sort out mistresses that didn’t know their place. Every single one of them spoke between gritted teeth.

As long as they were the main wife, they’d feel extreme pain and hatred towards the mistresses they had to share their husband with.

An Lingyun listened from the side. She felt like an entire new world had been opened to her. The tricks were either to sell the mistress, make sure the mistress would never be able to give birth, or slowly torment the mistress by having her carry over tea and pour water.

While they were heading back, An Lingyun asked Ning Shu, “Does everyone hate mistresses a lot?”

An Lingyun had grown up in a simple and happy environment, so she had never seen what a family with a lot of concubines and mistresses was like. Hence, she had no idea how much harm a mistress caused the main wife.

Meanwhile, the main wife still had to act magnanimous and help the husband accept mistresses.

Ning Shu didn’t reply directly. “Of these madames, who do you think will be easy to get along with? I think Madame Li is good. I heard that Madame’s son is about the same age as your older brother.”

An Lingyun was taken aback slightly, then her face immediately flushed and she said embarrassedly, “Mother!”

“No need to be embarrassed. It’s natural for children to eventually reach the age of marriage,” said Ning Shu.

“It’ll be good for you to interact with these madames more so that you’ll be mentally prepared once you get married. There’s no way your future husband would only have you as his only woman, so it’s good to listen to their stories more,” said Ning Shu mildly.

A shadow immediately fell on An Lingyun’s heart. “Can’t they be like Father and have only one wife? How can these men be so fickle…”

An Lingyun’s voice faltered, because her father now also had a mistress, and he had even entered the cluster of flowers in old age.

An You’s actions hurt Wei Lingxian even more than the how those men with harems hurt their main wives.

Since he wouldn’t be able to do it, why give Wei Lingxian that hope?
