Reincarnation: My Possessive Beast Husband Chapter 44: 44 Between the Wife and the Concubine

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Between the Wife and the Concubine

In her heart, Su Yan cursed Chu Yuxiao a thousand tis over.

“What do you an, your Chu Family’s daughter-in-law? Did you ever treat as your Chu Family’s daughter-in-law?

If so, I wouldn’t just be respectful to a concubine like Aunt Lan, I would be respectful to you too!”

Aunt Lan smiled affectionately, with not a trace of insincerity in her eyes.

Indeed, she was truly pleased that Chu Yuxiao had married such an understanding and reasonable wife.

“Xiao’er, you haven’t paid your respects to your mother yet. Take the Princess to see your sister, and let her have a look at her son’s wife too,” Aunt Lan said to Chu Yuxiao, her eyes glancing towards him.

...

As she spoke these words, a hint of sorrow flickered through her eyes.

From her tone and expression, it was clear that she shared a deep bond with the Old Madam.

Su Yan was puzzled again. Could there be such deep emotions between the rightful wife and a concubine?

At least the Old Madam and Aunt Lan seed to have a good relationship, otherwise, Chu Yuxiao wouldn’t have shown her so much respect.

After bidding farewell to Aunt Lan, they walked along the corridor, heading towards the attic where the Old Madam’s spirit tablet was enshrined.

All the while, neither of them spoke.

Su Yan wanted to ask him about Aunt Lan and the Old Madam several tis, but swallowed her questions each ti they neared her lips.

Asking him would surely be unwise; he certainly wouldn’t answer her.

Better to leave the gossip be, things that have passed are best left undiscovered.

Arriving at the hall where the spirit tablet was honored, Su Yan saw only one tablet inscribed with: ‘The Tablet of My Wife Shuyu’.

Shuyu must be the na of the Old Madam.

This was the spirit tablet that the Old Marquis had established for the Old Madam.

She had heard that the Old Madam passed away twenty years ago, and the Old Marquis died that sa year.

Chu Yuxiao was now twenty-four, which ant his parents had both left him when he was four.

How had he, at the tender age of four, withstood such a blow?

And had the Old Marquis followed the Old Madam in death shortly after she died?

Suddenly, Su Yan was very curious to know the story between the two of them, her instincts telling her it must be a poignant love story.

She turned to Chu Yuxiao and saw him staring intently at the tablet, his usually impassive cold eyes suddenly revealing a complex emotion of heartache.
