The Hunter's Lively Wife-Chapter 2087: Fortunate

At first, Madam Lu did mind, but later on, she grew numb. One after another, Master Lu’s women increased, and Madam Lu’s heart gradually found peace.

Now, no matter how many women Master Lu takes in, Madam Lu doesn’t care anymore. After all, she is the only legitimate wife acknowledged by society in the Lu Residence. No matter how many women Master Lu has, they have no recognized status.

Even if those women bear children, they are still illegitimate sons and daughters. Only her sons and daughters are the legitimate heirs in the family. In the future, all the Lu Residence’s family business and shops will be handed over to her son, Huan Ge’er. At most, the children of those women may be casually given a little silver to dismiss them.

The one currently in charge of the Lu Residence is the old madam, and her most cherished grandson is Huan Ge’er. Huan Ge’er is indeed promising, not only in appearance, which resembles his father’s childhood, but is also intelligent. The old madam dotes on Huan Ge’er dearly, cherishing him as the apple of her eye. Whatever Huan Ge’er wants, the old madam fulfills.

The other concubines and maids of Master Lu also gave birth to several sons and daughters, but these children all resemble their mothers, with none having the appearance of the Lu Family. The old madam does not like the children born of the concubines, finding them coarse and indeed resembling those raised by concubines, unsuitable for presenting in public.

Apart from Madam Lu’s son Huan Ge’er, her daughter Yi Jie’er is also promising. Although Yi Jie’er doesn’t look like her father, she resembles the old madam from her younger days, as if carved from the same mold.

The old madam sees her granddaughter and feels as if she is seeing her younger self. Naturally, she spoils Yi Jie’er immensely, especially since Yi Jie’er speaks so sweetly, often making the old madam laugh uncontrollably. Whatever Yi Jie’er wants, the old madam almost always grants her.

From a young age, Yi Jie’er has been domineering and pampered, often bullying her siblings in the residence. Whenever the children fight and bring their disputes to the old madam, even when Yi Jie’er causes others’ faces to turn red and clothes to come undone, the old madam always defends Yi Jie’er. This bias makes the concubines in the household quite unhappy, questioning why all of Master Lu’s children are not treated equally. Is it because Yi Jie’er is born of the legitimate wife that she deserves special treatment? 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The concubines were dissatisfied, and when this reached the old madam’s ears, she directly declared that anyone who dared to voice dissatisfaction again would be kicked out of the residence. Frightened by the possibility of being expelled, the concubines all reluctantly held their tongues and dared not speak out.

Before Madam Lu and Master Lu married, they hadn’t even met. There were little feelings between them. Therefore, Madam Lu did not care much about Master Lu taking concubine after concubine. Anyway, she had her son and daughter, and these two children were her everything; for the rest, Madam Lu did not care.

Madam Lu withdrew her gaze from her son and daughter and looked once more at Su Yunjin and Lady He.

"Sister Su, Sister He, not everyone in this world meets a man who is fully devoted to her."

Master Lu was not such a man, so Madam Lu no longer needed to care about him. He liked taking in concubines; let him be. Now she only cared about her children and silver. As long as everything in the Lu Residence was under her control, she feared nothing.
