Chapter 429

Perhaps there was never any real affection between them to begin with. To someone like Second Master Gu, what did a woman even amount to? "The housekeeper refused to give up," Ye Qian continued. "She hid her own daughter and returned to the Gu Family to carry on as housekeeper, keeping a very close eye on Second Master Gu. Naturally, Second Master Gu never turned away any woman who threw herself at him. Besides, the saying goes that a wife can't compare to a concubine, and a concubine can't compare to a stolen thrill, so the two of them kept their affair going." "Yet human greed knows no bounds. The housekeeper couldn't bear the thought that her own daughter had to live in the shadows while the eldest miss enjoyed the life of a princess. So, she plotted to get rid of the eldest miss, and poisoned the Madam to make her mind increasingly unstable. Her original plan was to swap the two girls, but in the end, her own daughter was lost as well. While the Gu Family frantically searched for their daughter, the housekeeper acted just as frantic. Back then, many people praised the Ye Family housekeeper for her absolute loyalty, little knowing that the child she was looking for was her own flesh and blood."
