Zhong Chuoqiao seemed to have her body restored by her daughter, no longer timid. For her son and daughter, she must fight!

In fact, her thoughts were the same as her daughter's; she wanted revenge, wanted the second concubine and her daughter to face retribution!

Why would she help now?

Not stepping on them twice is already keeping her status in check, and not scolding like a shrew already made her quite the lady.

She did not pay attention to the second concubine's pleas, nor Fan Jinxang's pitiful cries!

Those government officials followed the rules, and usually, when acting on the orders of their superiors at the government office, they weren't so heartless.

After all, they were dealing with a wealthy family's concubine and the daughter. Even if they were arresting them, with a little greasing, they would still let them ride in a sedan chair.

They wouldn't be so rough as they were now!

The second concubine and Fan Jinxang did not react!

Moreover, the government's officials were so tough, it showed Fan Lihua's tactics!

After all, she became an immortal fairy, and even though she changed bodies, she transformed this body into a cultivator's in just half a day!

She used the spiritual energy from her initial cultivation to save her mother, and even in the short time she went to lodge a complaint and came back from the government office, she hasn't been idle!

She replenished the spiritual energy she used and even increased it!

After all, being an immortal, she started cultivation, and in just half a day, she already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage!

A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, using a little soul-guiding technique, used a control technique!

The thoughts of the officials were already guided by her control, enforcing the law strictly, resulting in the arrest of the second concubine and Fan Jinxang!

The manager rushed to offer silver, trying to get the officials to release the second concubine and the young lady, fearing the scandal would spread, and he would suffer!

Hoping the lord would come back quickly!

The important thing was that the young lady and the second concubine mustn't go to the government office!

The second concubine was so favored, not just for her capabilities and winning the lord's affection!

More importantly, she had the manager's help everywhere!

The manager didn't just listen to the second concubine because of the lord; he also had his own selfish motives!

He and the second concubine shared a big secret, even unknown to the Old Master!

The manager and the second concubine were childhood sweethearts, though he was a family servant, and she was his cousin.

Actually, the second concubine was the child of the mistress of another household's lord, related to the family because daughters from both families became concubines to wealthy men.

The children born became related, and because the family daughters became concubines, their social status changed!

They gained some power in the mansion, benefiting from the perks, and managed to buy manors and shops outside!

They also bought houses outside for their families!

They continued working in the mansion for those lucrative positions!

They supported the second concubine to become more powerful than the head mistress!

The manager and the second mistress working together have profited significantly over the years, suppressing the Principal Wife!

They even embezzled her dowry, supported by Lord Fugui and the Old Madam!

Fan Lihua, from the original owner's memories, knew they oppressed her mother and brother, were neglected by an indifferent father, a money-grubbing Old Madam, and a negligent, licentious Old Master!

The mother, as the rightful wife, lived worse than a concubine!

The original Miss, neglected, oppressed, was also taught weakness by her frail mother!

The young brother was somewhat better off, being the family's heir, receiving a bit more attention from Lord Fugui, valuing male heirs, though he faced many scheming illnesses in his youth!

As he grew, he went to the outer courtyard to study at the Academy, with Lord Fugui's focus. The second concubine and manager's influence couldn't reach him far, fearing the Lord's reprimand!

Their focus was overwhelming the Principal Wife; the aim was to kill her to legitimize the second concubine, making their children legitimate, while ignoring the Principal Wife's children!

Fan Lihua, taking over the original body, was glad she acted quickly to save her unconscious mother barely alive!

Having evidence to send the second concubine and the young lady to the government office, even with Lord Fugui's efforts, they could return!

Forgiving their sins would ruin their reputation!

Fan Lihua knew the manager was also shady, aware of their family ties!

Not destroying them all at once, she just wanted to play slowly!

She had just transmigrated into this body, not yet fully integrated!

Quickly helping her mother, retrieving her dowry, her mother and brother frail, she thought of them also cultivating!

These things must be addressed step by step!

The second concubine was arrested, with part of the dowry with her, some in the young lady's possession!

Zhong Chuoqiao seemed reborn from ashes, with the house they originally lived in taken over by the second concubine!

They lived in a smaller courtyard!

The small courtyard was rather dilapidated!

The second young lady's courtyard was also very poor!

Now, her mother and daughter strongly banded together, bringing their people to reclaim the second concubine's and young lady's residences!

They could have lived in other courtyards, but the reason for reclaiming these was to release some resentment!

After all, most things in those two courtyards belonged to Zhong Chuoqiao's dowry!

They threw out the second concubine's people and what belonged to them!
