Zhou Xue's aunt's name is Zhou Lian, and when the Zhou family was still talking in the court, Zhou Lian married Li Yi, the eldest son of the Li family, and successfully gave birth to two sons in a row, and established a firm position in the Li family.

Zhou Lian's eldest son named Li Yan was married to Huang Yuewei, the second daughter of the Hou Mansion, Zhou Lian's maiden family gradually declined, but Huang Yuewei, as the daughter of the Hou Mansion, made Zhou Lian jealous.

In order to consolidate the rights in the inner house, Zhou Lian decided to take over the third brother and concubine, who had been beautiful since childhood.

Zhou Xue entered the Li Mansion in such a panic. In fact, Zhou Xue was quite favored when Zhou's father was still alive, she was delicate and cute when she was young, her biological mother was a woman loved by Zhou's father, and Zhou's father had no other children, so Zhou Xue had a good life in those years.

But Zhou's father died. As for Zhou Xue's mother-in-law, she was found to be pregnant before Zhou's father took office, so she raised the fetus at home and did not follow Zhou's father on the road.

Don't say that Zhou Xue is just a concubine, even if she is a concubine, she can't do anything good in the Zhou family, which is headed by her uncle. Zhou Xue lived in Zhou's house with trepidation, and as she grew up day by day, after she became beautiful and refined, she did not have the slightest joy, but more worries.

Uncle and aunt are not kind-hearted people, Zhou Xue never dared to think that they would be kind enough to choose a good family for themselves, she only looked forward to marrying a man with good character, and did not dare to expect to be rich and rich, after all, the uncle and aunt were definitely unwilling to give themselves a dowry. And what they are most likely to do is to give themselves to a high-ranking official with fat brains as a concubine.

And her aunt took Zhou Xue to the Li Mansion, which was a good thing for Zhou Xue.

Zhou Xue sent people to live in the Li Mansion, so she could only try to please her aunt and hope that her aunt would be kind.

After the initial panic, Zhou Xue gradually realized her aunt's intentions. She often saw her eldest cousin at her aunt's place, which was her aunt's eldest son, Li Yan.

Li Yan is dignified, talented and capable, compared to the other cousin born to his aunt, he is not the same.

Li Yan's wife is the concubine of Yong'an Hou, and the two families are good friends with Qin and Jin, but Huang Yuewei herself is not in line with Li Yan's wishes, she herself is ordinary, and she is not familiar with poetry and songs, but only popular things. However, Huang Yuewei, like Zhou Lian, gave birth to two sons in a row, and gained a firm foothold in the Li family, even if Li Yan didn't like Huang Yuewei, for the sake of the two sons, she would give Huang Yuewei some affection.

Huang Yuewei and Zhou Lian secretly compete for the right to be a housekeeper, although Zhou Lian has a natural advantage as a mother-in-law, but Huang Yuewei has two sons by her side, and her family background is very good, and sometimes Zhou Lian can only suffer.

Zhou Lian also gave her son a few beautiful rooms, although Huang Yuewei panicked, but her son didn't seem to like it very much, and they soon fell out of favor.

Zhou Xue couldn't sleep for several nights after realizing her aunt's intentions, but compared to some kind of unknowable future, it seems that being a concubine for her eldest cousin is already her best choice.

Not to mention anything else, with her aunt's affection, at least she won't be too bad.

Zhou Xue is elegant and beautiful in appearance and temperament, and she is a cousin, Li Yan is very fond of her after accepting her, and her aunt has also used Zhou Lian to stab Huang Yuewei many times, and Huang Yuewei made a note of Zhou Xue in her heart.

About a year later, Zhou Xue became pregnant, not to mention that Huang Yuewei hated her even more, that is, Li Yan took a little more love for her because Zhou Xue was pregnant, and Huang Yuewei couldn't tolerate Zhou Xue because of this.

During pregnancy, if Zhou Xue hadn't been more careful and took precautions everywhere, I was afraid that Huang Yuewei would have fallen for her long ago.

On the day of delivery, Zhou Xue finally gave birth to a daughter, but she didn't want Huang Yuewei to use another trick, if it weren't for Zhou Xue's fate, and the timely discovery of the big girl next to her, I am afraid that Zhou Xue would have died of a blood collapse.

But even if Zhou Xue survives, she will never be able to have an heir in the future.

During her confinement, Huang Yuewei tried to assassinate her and her daughter three times and twice, but Zhou Xue was tired of coping and did not do a good job in confinement, leaving a headache since then.

At this time, Huang Yuewei was diagnosed by the doctor as pregnant, and during the time she was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, Huang Yuewei finally stopped for a while, which also made Zhou Xue breathe a sigh of relief and devoted herself to raising her daughter.

It's just that Zhou Xue's daughter occupies the identity of the eldest daughter, and after Huang Yuewei gave birth to her daughter-in-law, it hindered her daughter's way even more, so Huang Yuewei wanted to get rid of Zhou Xue's daughter even more.

Zhou Xue's daughter is the name that Li Yan personally took on the day of washing, and her name is Xiuyao.

And Huang Yuewei's daughter is named Xiuqi.

Li Xiuyao was well-behaved and sensible when she was still young, and Zhou Lian knew that Huang Yuewei didn't like Li Xiuyao, so she raised Li Xiuyao by her side.

Li Xiuqi has been smart and clever since she was a child, and she became known as a talented woman when she grew up, but she inherited the shortcomings of her mother's appearance, although she has been carefully maintained since she was a child, she can only be regarded as beautiful.

And Li Xiuyao looks three or four points similar to Zhou Xue, Yuxue has been cute since she was a child, but she is very wooden, and she is not as likable as Li Xiuqi.

Because Li Xiuyao is Zhou Xue's only child in her life, Zhou Xue treats Li Xiuyao very well, and takes advantage of her aunt to take a look at her daughter every day, and often brings this and that to her daughter. However, my aunt will not let her see Xiuyao every time.

Moreover, for some reason, Zhou Xue always felt that her daughter was not close enough to herself, and she seemed very rusty. But she always thinks that it is because there are too few opportunities to meet her, so she always looks for opportunities to meet her daughter.

Until my daughter reaches the age of thirteen, it's time to look at each other.

Zhou Xue was afraid that Huang Yuewei would marry her daughter at will in order to take revenge, so she was very concerned about Xiuyao's marriage.

Zhou Xue also secretly looked at each other in secret, and also found an opportunity to ask her daughter, but she didn't expect her daughter to look at her impatiently, "Auntie, you don't care about my marriage, I don't want to be rich and rich, and I don't need to marry a dragon son and phoenix grandson, as long as he treats me well." ”

Zhou Xue's heart was broken when she listened to her daughter's words, couldn't she hear that her daughter was saying that she was greedy for wealth? Zhou Xue also knew at this moment that her daughter looked down on her so much.

After Zhou Xue was sad, she saw her daughter ingratiating herself with Huang Yuewei and going to various banquets with Huang Yuewei and Li Xiuqi.

Zhou Xue really wanted to ask her daughter: Don't you remember that you were assassinated by Huang Yuewei so many times? Don't you remember that I have prevented so many disasters for you? Don't you remember that you are my daughter?

As Li Xiuyao gets older, she is no longer as wooden as she was when she was a child, but has become smarter. But Zhou Xue saw that Li Xiuyao was not wooden at all when she was a child, but pretended to be wooden, she probably understood her situation at that time, and she didn't want to dislike Huang Yuewei.

But the person his daughter looks down on the most is herself, why?

Zhou Xue listened to what her daughter said: I'd rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. knew that Li Xiuyao didn't look down on her biological mother, but did she want to be a concubine in the first place? But her cousin was already her best choice. If she had gone against her aunt's wishes, where would she have been able to do well?

Every time she used her means to compete for favor, she could see Li Xiuyao's disdainful gaze and condescending attitude, as if she was a clown. Sometimes, Li Xiuyao will kindly persuade herself not to compete for favor, after all, Huang Yuewei's position is stable, even if she catches her mistakes, as long as she is still the daughter of the Hou Mansion, she will be Li Yan's wife for a day.

It's ridiculous, doesn't she know this? Didn't she think about getting along with Huang Yuewei in the first place?

But she is an aunt, and her natural identity is already hostile to Huang Yuewei, not to mention, they still have to compete for the favor of the same man, where will there be a chance to get along?

In order to get better in the Li Mansion, she can't back down, otherwise her aunt will be disappointed in her, her cousin will gradually forget her, and her only daughter is in her aunt's hands, she can only listen to her aunt's words and oppose Huang Yuewei, and she will have no other heirs in the future. Could it be that Li Xiuyao really thinks that she is so stupid and naïve, and she doesn't know that she may not be able to please Huang Yuewei?

She also knows that Huang Yuewei has two sons by her side, and Huang Yuewei will definitely be the master of the house in the future, at that time, she will definitely be tormented by Huang Yuewei, but it is precisely because she knows that she wants to fight, knowing that there is no hope for the future, she only hopes to block Huang Yuewei, the enemy who harmed her.

But in her daughter's heart, she is just an aunt who is greedy for vanity, marries someone else as a concubine, is stupid, and doesn't know how to plan.

Zhou Xue watched Li Xiuyao fight Li Xiuqi, became famous in Kyoto, befriended the county lord, and won the love of the Hou Shizi of Wu'an, and came to the door in person to propose marriage.

Li Xiuqi was half angry, but Li Xiuyao, a concubine, sat in the position of Mrs. Shizi.

Is this what my daughter said would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine? You see, you have a chance, but you still climb up? You yourself are like this, why do you look down on me? Why do you ignore my dedication and love?

Zhou Xue's daughter became the wife of the prince, but Li Xiuyao never thought of pulling her mother's family. Everyone in Kyoto knows that Li Xiuyao has a bad relationship with her mother, the Li family.

Later, Li Xiuyao became Mrs. Hou, and the new Marquis of Wu Anhou also found out a lot of evidence of the Li family's crimes, and finally the emperor raided the Li family, but Li Xiuyao's position as Mrs. Hou's Mansion was still stable.

Zhou Xue didn't know about the major affairs of the court, but he also faintly heard that it was the prince's struggle for the throne, and their Li family was the sacrifice under the prince's battle.

Later, Zhou Xue and her aunt Li Yan, Huang Yuewei, and Li Erye Li and his wife Li were picked up by Li Xiuyao, and they were placed in a small house, without any servants and maids, they had to do everything by themselves, and Li Xiuyao only gave them a small amount of silver money every month.

Zhou Xue is not only the lowest-status one among them, her daughter also harmed the Li family, her life can be imagined. However, in a few years, Zhou Xue was overly worried and died of illness.

In her life, she has hated many people, her uncle, aunt and aunt Huang Yuewei and Li Yan...... But what she hates most is the daughter she once really cared for.
