The Concubine-Born Son Dotes on One Wife and Kills Another, So the Legal Mother Sells Them All Off

On their wedding night, her husband is summoned to the border. He is gone for three years, during which she dutifully manages every aspect of the Marquis's household. In return, he comes home a decorated war hero, ready to welcome another woman into the family. Just as she is framed and about to be driven out of the household, her mother-in-law, renowned for her sharp tongue, pulls her behind her and says, “Child, step aside and watch me clean up this household!” Then she pours a cup of scalding tea over the little green tea's face. Everyone in the capital says Du Ying is stuck with a husband who dotes on his concubine and neglects his wife. But her mother-in-law stands firmly by her side. She takes on the green tea herself, then, after Du Ying and her son divorce, adopts her as her own daughter and even names her the Marquis's heir. After transmigrating into a book, Su Qing becomes the mistress of the Marquis's household, with three troublesome children who constantly push all her buttons. The eldest son dotes on his concubine and neglects his wife: “Mother! Rou'er is the love of my life.” Su Qing: “Take your green tea and get out!” The second daughter is hopelessly lovesick: “Mother, Brother Song truly loves me!” Su Qing: “You too, get out!” The second son spends all day lazing around: “You won't kick me out too, right?” Su Qing: “Don't worry…” When Xiao Nanyan prepares to lie flat and inherit the Marquis's estate, he discovers that he's been kicked out too. In response to the rumors in the capital, Su Qing smiles faintly and says with disdain, “Who says the heir has to be a man? A girl can carry on the family line just as well!”
