After Reading My Mind, the Marquis Named Me His Principal Wife

[Reborn + mind-reading + doting on a concubine while neglecting the wife + household intrigue + the husband chases his wife to win her back] On the night Gu Yan married, her husband, Marquis Anyuan Song Yan, led his troops to the borderlands. He was gone for six years. For six years, her mother-in-law schemed to make her manage the household, yet gave her neither real authority nor money. She used her dowry to cover household expenses. Just as she had finally endured until Song Yan's return, he brought home the orphaned child of a subordinate. Seeing how much Song Yan cared for the child, Gu Yan named him Song Lian and raised him as a member of the Song family. But she never imagined that the child she had worked so hard to raise would hold a knife to her throat once he had made a name for himself. He said, “If it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't have spent twenty years as a servant in this household!” Only then did she learn that Madam Zhou, the steward she had always relied on, was Song Yan's beloved and Song Lian's birth mother. And it was Madam Bai, her mother-in-law, who had given her Madam Zhou the year Song Yan returned to the estate. The entire Marquis Anyuan household had been deceiving her! The urgent military situation, the orphaned subordinate's child, the claim that they pitied her for having to manage the household and wanted to give her a capable assistant... It had all been a lie! Worse still, before Song Lian sent her to her death, he revealed the truth behind all her miscarriages. “Did you really think the babies you carried were lost naturally?” “Ha! My father and I arranged it all! Father said that the only woman in this world who could bear him children was my mother!” Reborn, Gu Yan was still chosen by Song Yan to become the mistress of the marquis's household. But this time, both the marquis's household and the Gu family would be pieces on her chessboard. She would use them, step by step, to seize real power and live as she pleased as the mistress of the household!
