The Su Family originally rose in Jiangnan.
Shortly after Su Yuexian was sent to the palace, she was bestowed to the Heir of the Duke of England. She did well and soon gave birth to a son, firmly establishing her foothold in the mansion.
With the Su Family feeling secure in Capital City, part of their business began shifting towards the city.
Aunt Su's elder brother, Su Qi, came to the capital to oversee the city's business.
As Aunt Su started managing affairs at the Duke Mansion, Su Qi became increasingly bold.
Outside, when discussing business, Su Qi would start with how capable his brother-in-law, the Heir, was.
Everyone only knew that the Duchess of England left the mansion for another residence and that the concubine was managing the household, leading them to believe the concubine was favored like the mistress; perhaps only hindered by the Wu Family from being officially recognized.
