Nowadays, only one eldest lady and a fourth concubine are left.
is widely rumored that the Lin family’s concubines are in poverty.
But our servants know that this is a curse.

Su Ru is an actor.
People often say that a bitch is ruthless and an actor is unrighteous, but Su Ru is a kind and kind person.
When the stage was being performed, a noble child wanted to tease her. Su Ru resisted in every way and sweared to death. The noble child was angry and a cup of hot tea came down from her right face, and then left. The onlookers were ridiculed and despised. There was no way out for an actor who had ruined his appearance.
At that time, Su Ru, who was completely disappointed, met the fourth concubine of the Lin family. The fourth concubine did not dislike her ugly appearance and bought her back to the mansion from the hands of a man.
The fourth concubine said that she was a fair woman, and she knew that it was difficult for a woman to make a living. She was also rescued by others when she was wandering on the streets, so now she felt unbearable to see her being insulted by someone, so she took her back to her house.
Lin Mansion is a well-known family in the city. He has been doing business for generations. Although he is not as rich as a country, he has some assets.
But there is a strange thing in the Lin family, which makes people talk about. That is, Mr. Lin's concubines died inexplicably, leaving only one eldest lady and a fourth concubine. It is rumored that the Lin family's concubines are all in poverty.
The fourth concubine has always been in an unknown state in the mansion. She drinks tea and flowers on weekdays. She occasionally goes to the eldest lady to sit there, and lives like a fairy outside the world.
But Su Ru knew that wealthy families would not be able to stand without a child.
The fourth concubine seemed to have seen through Su Ru's thoughts, smiled and looked as bright as the stars: "Child, what's the matter, isn't there Brother Ran?"
Ran was the posthumous son of the third concubine.
Su Ru came to Lin's house and heard some rumors. At that time, the eldest lady and the old man were childhood sweethearts, and they were young. After getting married, they even had a good time and were in harmony. How could they think that the eldest lady's stomach was not moving for a long time after the marriage. Under the pressure of the old lady, the old man married several concubines.
Although Su Ru was worried, she could only keep her anxiety in her heart when she saw the indifferent style of the Fourth Aunt. She just wanted to do her best to serve the Fourth Aunt.
The fourth concubine said slowly while watering the flowers: "This child, it's better to let things go, why force it?"
is also right. How could a person like the banished immortal care about these false names?

Su Ru took care of the fourth concubine, and her life seemed to be dull, but there were unexpected situations in the world. Ran Ge'er was weak since childhood and could not stand it.
The eldest lady cried so hard that she was heartbroken. The fourth concubine sat in the yard and did not sleep all night. Su Ru saw the lonely expression of the fourth concubine for the first time.
A few months later, the fourth concubine became pregnant.
people in the mansion said that they were afraid that Brother Ran was unwilling to accept it and came back to reincarnate.
The pain of losing his grandson has not subsided yet, the old lady issued an order, asking the whole mansion to be on guard and to protect the child in the fourth concubine's belly no matter what.
Su Ru followed the fourth concubine and was even more busy. Although the old lady attached great importance to this unborn grandson, she had never been to the fourth concubine's room.
Anyone with discerning eyes knows that the old lady looks down on the fourth concubine's background and invites a large number of doctors to the mansion, but she is just afraid that something will happen to the child. In the eyes of the old lady, she can only protect the child.
The fourth concubine liked to eat sour food when she was pregnant. Su Ru often prepared it. That day, the sour plums in the yard were gone, and Su Ru thought about going to the kitchen to ask for something.
When passing by the back garden, I saw two maids sweeping the floor being lazy.
"The fourth concubine is now a mother who is noble by her son, and she has reached the top in one step. Thinking that she was unknown a few days ago, she was not as good as our maids, and now she has also flew to the branch." The maid in pink was angry and her pretty face was full of contempt.
"Hey, it's said that the mother is precious by her son. Can you enjoy this blessing still be a matter of one's own life?" Another maid said mysteriously, "There is a curse in the forest mansion. Any pregnant woman will end up miserably."
When she heard this, Su Ru stopped and hid behind the pavilion to listen to the gossip of the two maids.
"What's going on?" The maid in pink just arrived, so she didn't know the secrets of the Lin family. She immediately came over as soon as she heard this.
There is a strange thing about the Lin family. Mrs. Lin's original wife, Mrs. Lin, has never been born in the house. She married several concubines, but each was pregnant. However, whenever she gave birth, she would have difficulty giving birth. Mr. Lin's three concubines died because of this. Only one child survived successfully, and that was Brother Ran, who was raised in the name of the eldest wife.
"Outsiders all say that those concubines in those rooms have little life. In fact, we all know that this is that the Lin family has no descendants, so pregnant women will die strangely." When the maid in pink heard this, she quickly covered her mouth with an incredible look on her face.
"Brother Ran was born by the third concubine. As soon as he was born, the third concubine immediately seemed to be drained, with no blood on his body."
"How did you know?"
"I used to be the maid in the third concubine's room. I saw it with my own eyes. I heard that the second concubine was so miserable when she died. It was a pity that the children in her belly had not seen the world, and she also seemed to have drained blood like her mother. So the fourth concubine was afraid that she would not have the blessing to have it, and there were only a few good days."
After saying that, the two maids began to sigh again that life was impermanent, from the previous jealousy to the sympathy of today. In their eyes, the fourth concubine's life was like an ant.

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional. After listening to this conversation, Su Ru only felt her whole head confused.
Su Ru held the sour plum soup in her hand and walked back in dismay. There were two nannies standing at the door of the yard. Su Ru recognized it as the eldest lady's room.
The sour plum soup in his hand sprinkled all over the floor. Su Ru ignored the etiquette and rushed inside, knocking the soup bowl in front of the fourth concubine to the ground.
"Fourth concubine, are you okay, Is it okay?"
The fourth concubine looked confused and didn't know what was going on, but the nanny who followed closely behind grabbed Su Ru.
"Where did the maid come from, and he was actually rude in front of the eldest lady?"
Although the fourth concubine didn't know what happened, she quickly apologized to the eldest lady.
"Sister, I am from my room. I know etiquette on weekdays. I don't know why today..."
The eldest lady sat on the chair. Because of the fuss just now, she was also a little scared. She comforted the fourth concubine and asked her to sit down and stop being angry. She turned to look at Su Ru, frowned, making Su Ru feel what it means to be arrogant without anger.
"The eldest lady forgives the guilt. I am clumsy and do not recognize the eldest lady's nanny. I thought the fourth concubine had made something wrong, so I rushed in recklessly. I hope the eldest lady forgives the crime."
Su Ru looked up at the eldest lady. The eldest lady looked dignified and generous, and she looked like a mistress in the family, but there was fatigue between her eyebrows, which was probably caused by busy affairs recently.
Su Ru secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that the eldest lady could let her go. This time she was indeed too reckless.
The eldest lady waved her hand gently and immediately loosened Su Ru's hands that clamped Su Ru.
"Forget it, it's rare that my sister has such a loyal maid who protects the master, but the rules of the Lin family have to be followed. You have to be fined half a month's salary to serve as a warning." After the eldest lady finished speaking, she gave a few instructions and asked the fourth concubine to rest well, so she left.
Su Ru knew that the eldest lady's punishment was actually very light. According to the rules, she would hit the mistress, but she would be expelled from the mansion and sold to a man.
The fourth concubine did not blame Su Ru, nor did she continue to ask her for her reckless reasons, and began to dress up the flowers and plants in her yard as always.
Su Ru picked up the overturned soup in the room, smelled it, and then placed it in the backyard, ready to bury it.
Today’s conversation with the maid in the garden made Su Ru’s back chill. In the early years, when Su Ru was an actor, she also saw a lot of strange stories. What scared her the most was the Miao people’s Gu, one of which was called the Defeat Gu.
As the name suggests, removing the mother Gu means leaving the child and leaving the mother.
The Miao people have no matriarchal family for generations, because the patriarch needs to have decisive judgment. In their eyes, mothers and wives are the culprits that cause them to be indecisive.
Therefore, women who get married to the clan leader must drink the mother Gu. Since the child is born, all the energy in his body will be transferred to the child.
But they will eventually become a mummy like the third concubine.
Su Ru couldn't bear to see the fourth concubine become like this, but she couldn't tell the fourth concubine about this, but she just began to pay attention to the fourth concubine's diet.

As the time of delivery was approaching, the old lady finally showed up, took the fourth concubine's hand, and said a few words of kindness to give her the child peace of mind. She was afraid that she knew the rumors about the Lin family.
Su Ru didn't understand. The fourth concubine knew the rumors about the Lin family, so why did she risk her life to give birth to this child?
She didn't believe it was because of love. In Master Lin's eyes, there was only one eldest lady from beginning to end, and the others were just tools for inheriting the family line.
After Mr. Lin and his wife finished their dinner, they went to the backyard to have a digestive food and sent off the servants, leaving only the couple.
"You don't have to worry too much, life and death have fate, wealth and honor are in heaven."
"But sister, she is still young after all." The eldest lady looked worried and tears followed her.
"You are just too kind," Mr. Lin took his sleeve and wiped the eldest lady's tears away. "This is her own..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Lin saw a black shadow appearing behind him. He protected the eldest lady by his side, and said loudly, "Who is there!"
A woman in green floated out from behind the rockery, with long hair reaching her waist, covering her face, unlike the human form.
"I died so miserably~" This voice was like a resentment coming from hell, constantly surrounding it.
then suddenly disappeared and appeared on the left side of Mr. Lin again.
"Give me my life back! Give me my life back!" The female ghost kept changing positions, almost circled in a circle, leaving the people in the circle nowhere to escape, and huge horror enveloped Master Lin's head.
After a brief fright, the eldest lady suddenly let go of Mr. Lin's arms: "Yu'er? Is Yu'er you?"
Yu'er is the third concubine of the Lin family and she loves to wear green clothes the most on weekdays.
"Yu'er is bad for me. I didn't take good care of Brother Ran, and I let you down."
The woman looked at the eldest lady walking towards her step by step in surprise. She wanted to retreat. When the wind blew, she showed half of her terrifying and scary face.
"Ah!" A scream followed by the sound of a giant falling to the ground.

The fourth concubine was frightened to give birth prematurely. The old lady was furious and wanted to beat Su Ru who was pretending to be scary. However, the fourth concubine who was having trouble in the room kept calling Su Ru's name.
"Hmph, if the fourth concubine's child makes any mistakes, you can follow him and bury him!" After saying that, the old woman beat her crutch and turned back to her yard.
Su Ru never expected that she wanted to scare the eldest lady, but the fourth concubine gave birth prematurely.
Su Ru has been paying attention to the diet of the fourth concubine in recent days, and there is nothing unusual, but she must be careful about others. The deaths of the second concubine, the third concubine and the fifth concubine must be artificial, and the most likely person is the eldest lady.
Mr. Lin and the eldest wife have a good relationship, but they have no children, which has become an excuse for the old lady to stuff people into her son's room. The eldest wife wants children, but she doesn't want someone to share their feelings, so she has a mother Gu.
Su Ru learned a lot of things in the opera troupe, and pretending to be a ghost is no problem. In order to prevent the eldest lady from continuing to attack, she thought of this trick and let the eldest lady reveal her true colors in front of Mr. Lin.
The fourth concubine's child was born all night. When the rooster crowed, he finally gave birth to it. He was a big fat boy. The fourth concubine did not become a mummy, but her life was still there.
"The fourth concubine, it's all my fault. It's my servant who caused you to give birth prematurely. If you go, I will never live alone." Su Ru knelt on the ground, crying.
"Not you blame me, I know you are checking for removing the mother Gu." Su Ru listened to the fourth concubine in surprise and said word by word, "Then I took away the mother Gu."
"Why?" Su Ru looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, as if she was about to drift away with the wind if she accidentally.
"Because I can't let them threaten the status of the eldest lady." The fourth concubine grabbed Su Ru's hand with her last strength, "Promise me, protect my child, I have killed three lives, so let me pay back the blood."
What else does Su Ru want to say, but the people in the bed have no breath.

The fourth concubine's child was finally raised in the name of the eldest lady. Because the child smiled as soon as he saw Su Ru, the old lady spared Su Ru for the time being and asked her to concentrate on serving the eldest grandson of the Lin Mansion.
Many years later, the eldest lady took her children to pay tribute to the fourth concubine, touching the wordless monument on the grave, and sighed.
The fourth concubine said that she was wandering on the streets and was also helped by noble people. That noble lady was the eldest lady. At that time, the eldest lady was young and energetic. She saw injustice on the road and helped her. Relying on her identity as a lady, she let her subordinates beat up the gangster who bullied the fourth concubine.
has been bullied and ignored for a long time, and this girl who suddenly stood up for her has become the god in her heart. It was just a matter of one meeting, so she secretly swears that she must protect her from all over the world.
However, she entered the mansion, but because she was weak, she was not suitable for giving birth, otherwise she would easily die. However, she could not bear to see others threatening the status of the eldest lady, so she secretly released the female Gu in the food of other concubines. She didn't know how to use the amount of the Gu, which led to the death of both mother and son. There was no way, so she had to have a child herself, just to make the status of the eldest lady unshakable.
The rich man married three concubines, all of whom died of dysfunction. The food they had eaten hidden secrets
The world is dangerous, and a light may be the only thing someone wants to protect.
is like the fourth concubine Yu Suru and the eldest wife Yu Suru. (original title: "Difficult Manure")
