The Prince Kevin's mansion was extremely efficient in dealing with the wedding-related matters. They soon decided on the day of the wedding and sent a servant to inform the Chu Clan that the wedding was to be held on June 18th since it was a lucky day. Besides, the betrothal presents of two brides were delivered to the Chu Clan mansion as quickly as possible.
Since the heir of Prince Kevin would marry two daughters of the Chu Clan at the same time, Prince Kevin and his wife were very generous. Felicia's betrothal presents were in accordance with the standards, and the betrothal presents of Yvonne were also very abundant. Probably because she was pregnant with the son of Hansen, Kate, Kevin's wife, had attached special importance to her.
Felicia's face was distorted with anger at the sight of the betrothal presents of Yvonne. "She's just a concubine's daughter and will only be a concubine. Why did they give her so many betrothal presents? It's not fair!" she roared.
And like Felicia, Sue was very irritated too. She thought that people at the Prince Kevin's mansion were so unreasonable, for they even gave a bride price to Yvonne as much as that of Felicia. But Sue carefully concealed her apparent anger. "My dear daughter," Sue began as she held her daughter's hand, coaxing her, "you will be His Highness's wife, which means that you will take charge of the whole mansion in the future. And all other concubines will have to obey your orders. You don't have to be angry with such a low-status concubine. It's bad for your health."
"Mother, that bitch has His Highness's child in her belly. We haven't got married yet, but they seem to show more favor towards that bitch. I am afraid that she will win the heart of all the people in the mansion, and eventually, she will be on top of me!" Felicia bristled up in anger. She also harbored a wicked thought that if Yvonne hadn't had her baby, she wouldn't have been so proud now.
However, Sue maintained her calmness. She squeezed Felicia's hand, and in a meaningful way, she said, "You know that what Prince Kevin and Lady Kate value is that baby in her belly. If she accidentally loses her baby, she will be of no value. So, you do not need to be irritated by her now. The wedding is still half a month away, and no one knows what will happen during this period."
Felicia's eyes suddenly lit up. "Mother, you mean..."
"I mean Yvonne should take good care of herself. It's of vital importance for a pregnant woman to watch out during the first three months. She's so fragile that she might have a miscarriage by accident." While looking over whether the make-ups on Felicia's face were off, Sue reminded her gently, "You are going to get married, and you are going to be the wife of His Highness, so you have to be patient. After you get married, there are still a lot of seductive and charming women in their mansion much more than those in our mansion. If you are jealous of them, you will be quite unhappy. You can't ruin your own happy life for them."
"Mother, what should I do?" Felicia asked, totally confused.
"After you get married, you shall give birth to His Highness's child to consolidate your position. As long as you keep a close eye on the seductive bitches in the mansion, they can't even have the opportunity to get pregnant. It's okay for them to have daughters because it won't shake your position in the family," Sue explained to her in a soft voice.
