Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 241 Illusion

"It's all my aunt's fault. My cousin and I grew up together as sisters. How could we bear grudges?

But my cousin is like a child. I don’t know why she has to hurt me with words every time she sees me. I am willing to forgive her once, twice, and three times. I even went to the Moon Room Palace to talk it out with her and resolve the conflict between us.

But my cousin wouldn't listen to anything I said. She treated me like an enemy who had robbed her. I'm not a Buddha made of clay and I don't have any temper. So, I'll just be a stranger to her."

Zhao Guixiu lowered her brows and bowed her head. The guilt in her heart grew like weeds in spring.

Shouldn't she and Li Ren'an have kept the sisters' backgrounds a secret from Xihua alone? So when they compensated Yu'er, Xihua felt lost, thinking that the love that should have been given to her was taken away by Yu'er?

At home, Li Renan's attitude towards the two sisters is more inclined towards Bai Liangyu, while Zhao Guixiu prefers Li Xihua, whom she raised from infancy. But now she can't put the blame for the sisters' discord on Bai Liangyu. Yu'er is her biological daughter, and she loves her, but human hearts cannot be controlled.

Zhao Guixiu hoped that her two daughters could live in harmony and support each other in the harem, and she would be willing to do that even if she had to close her eyes now.

"Yu'er, your aunt and uncle are sorry for you and Xihua. Your aunt will definitely ask Xihua and the Third Prince to help you regain favor. Just wait. Xihua originally invited me to have dinner with her and the Third Prince in the Moon Room. You don't have to wait for dinner. I will go to Xihua to talk it over after lunch."

"I agreed to keep (my background) a secret from Xihua. It's all my fault. If I had made a scene, Xihua wouldn't have resented me to this extent. I guess in Xihua's eyes, I'm just a bitch who stole her parents' love."

Bai Liangyu said with tears in his eyes.

"It's my fault that your uncle and I spoiled her too much. Even after getting married and having children, she still has a childish mentality. She always hates you over trivial matters." Zhao Guixiu couldn't hold back her tears when she saw Bai Liangyu sobbing, and she hugged Bai Liangyu and cried bitterly.

"Madam, Miss, please stop crying." Danzhu handed over the handkerchief, feeling anxious.

"Madam Li, it's not appropriate for us to cry while we are selecting a concubine who is pregnant with the royal heir. Please wipe your tears and give us some advice on selecting a concubine." Jing Feng frowned behind Bai Liangyu as he looked at Zhao Guixiu, whose eyes had an innocence that didn't match her age. He secretly thought that this Madam Li must have not been through much.

"Yeah, you shouldn't cry."

Zhao Guixiu wiped away her tears, then raised her hand to help Bai Liangyu tuck her hair behind her ears.

Bai Liangyu's eyes were misty with tears, and she blinked away the tears. The mother and daughter smiled at each other.

"I'm sorry, Yu'er."

Bai Liangyu shook his head.

"Aunt, I have a few birthday gifts here, which I, as the aunt of the Third Prince, want to give to my little nephew.

But you know, my cousin would never want my things. Although I can't give them away, I prepare them for His Royal Highness the Third Prince every year, praying that he grows up healthy.

If you are going to the Moon Chamber Palace, I wonder if you could bring all these expired birthday gifts to him. If they are thrown out by my cousin, don’t pick them up and give them to me. Just let me think that the gifts have been given away.”

Bai Liangyu said humbly.

Zhao Guixiu caressed Bai Liangyu's hair lovingly and said, "My poor Yu'er!" The guilt in her heart reached its peak.

"Aunt, I will definitely ask her to accept your blessing, and the relationship between you two sisters will improve."

"Thank you, aunt." Bai Liangyu bowed.

"What are you thanking me for? It's your aunt who is sorry for you."

Danzhu stood behind the crowd, watching her wife holding her pregnant daughter as they walked under the palace corridor illuminated by the morning light. The warmth and harmony made her heart tremble.

She clenched her fists. Why did fate play such a trick on her? Although the lady was naive and willful, she had a good heart. She had a young lady in her heart. Why did she let the eldest daughter be inserted into such a harmonious family?
