Those years when I was cannon fodder

Chapter 5

  The city lord has no son, and without this feudal, ancient, and mainstream recognized heir, while she is doomed to be in the backyard. There is no chance of peace, the fight will only be more fierce.

  Although, they have been banished to the cold palace. The City Lord's father did not show any intention of giving up her. She is very worried, what if a concubine with a scheming mind wants to fight to prevent future troubles and ruin her mother's rise?

  Or maybe her mother have once fought someone, her mother must have offended the person so much that she wanted them to die. Poisoning was undoubtedly the easiest way. This is not random thinking, otherwise, where did the poison on her and the third lady come from?

Chu Yu was destined to be unable to tell anyone about this concern.

She was only five years old, and she couldn't change anything for the time being. However, the female teacher promised by the City Lord's father has arrived, and now she can learn to read and write.

  The third lady was very happy and prepared a large and bright study room for her in advance.   

"Xiao Yu'er, your mother was not born high and can't read and write. Your father dislikes me very much and doesn't talk to me this at all. His favorite eldest lady is a talented girl. Even though her family fell, and she was orphaned, your father happily welcomed her as the main wife."

  So,Chu Yu found out, Her eldest sister, who was born by the doctor, has a noble status in the city lord's mansion, not only because she is the direct daughter, but also because the other party's mother is her father's favorite.

  "I heard that the city lord's mansion has a rule passed down from generations. Only a wife who can give birth to a son who can inherit the city lord's position can be the main wife, but your father gave her that position in advance, and carried her in with the eight-carried sedan chair and gifted phoenix crown and cape to welcome her in."

  When she said this, the third lady's face was very complicated, there was resentment and jealousy, and also a trace of madness due to wanting to replace the other party.

  Chu Yu pretended to be ignorant on the face, but she was complaining in her heart, what kind of stinky rule is this, only after giving birth to a son, you can be the main wife?

  Fortunately, she is going to marry out in the future.

On the other hand, Chu Yu was quite impressed by the scumbag.

He dares to break the rules and treat the people he loves genuinely .

  Just, if the city lord really loved the first wife dearly, why is there a second and even a third wife

That's right, there is the second wife who gave birth to Chu Yu's second sister. Perhaps, in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, there are more women who she didn't know the City Lord- father had slept with.

 After all, so far now, there were only three who bore the name of madam, and each of them had children..

  Chu Yu couldn't help but guess that only those who bore the child and raised it safely and soundly could be called madam. Otherwise They would be treated like maids of the house, without even a name.

  "Well, the City Lord -father is really a scumbag who should die."

  ...

  "Third Miss, my surname is Mo, you can call me Mrs. Mo."

  The Female Teacher who was assigned to Chu Yu was a woman with slightly ordinary looks but a gentle smile.

"Ma'am, my name is Chu Yu, you can call me Xiao Yu'er."

  Hearing this self-introduction, a flash of surprise flashed in Mrs. Mo's eyes.

  "Okay, Xiao Yu'er, before I can read, let me teach you some basic etiquette between teachers and students."

  "Generally speaking, there are many kinds of teachers. One is like me, who teaches you literacy- to read and write. There are also those who teach you etiquette, and musical instruments."

  "If the knowledge being taught is merely introductory, letting you have a general understanding of the topic. Such as a Teacher is called Laoshi, the relationship between teacher and pupil is not deep. But, If you want to learn in depth, you must worship the teacher as your master- Shifu."

  "Your master is like your father. You have to respect him like you do your father, be ceremonial and filial during New Years and festivals, always visit the Master from time to time, and treat themj like a close relative..."

   Chu Yu listened with great interest and couldn't help but think, In ancient etiquette, the extent of the ancient people's treatment of Master cannot match many modern people relationship with their own parents.
