Chapter 3 Concubine's Heart)
But now...
Meixiangyuan has five thousand taels, but my aunt can only save fifty taels and fifty taels, but she was rewarded for her good service!
Brother Wen suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain in his heart, but he nodded quietly and comforted Aunt Xue a few more words. Just as Grandma Wang turned around to urge her, she watched Aunt Xue walk away slowly. Brother Wen
Then he turned around and strode away.
As soon as Brother Wen left, Aunt Xue immediately became sullen, her previous aggrieved look disappeared, and she stood at the entrance of the corridor, looking in the direction of Meixiang Courtyard in confusion.
The Li family was going to have a funeral today, so most of the family members followed them out, and those who were left at home were mostly old ladies and housekeepers. When they saw Aunt Xue standing without raising an eyebrow, they hurried over.
.
Aunt Xue saw it, but her expression was indifferent.
When the surroundings were quiet, Aunt Xue asked Ruyi, "Do you think that when the Duke's wife comes back from the funeral, will the Duke just rest in Meixiangyuan?"
Ruyi's heart was beating like a drum.
The little lady of Meixiangyuan will soon become a serious wife of the Duke of the country.
Although there is no one here, she is the first wife of the royal family and the new wife's cousin. The new wife has to serve nine months of mourning, but the ninth month of the Dagong Dynasty only says that she must eat light food and wear simple clothes, but
There is no rule against having sex in the same room.
According to the situation in which the Duke of the Kingdom dotes on Mei Xiangyuan some time ago, it is definitely impossible for them to sleep in separate rooms for September.
But when my aunt asked this question, she clearly wanted to take advantage of this period of time to share some favors.
To be honest, or do you just follow your aunt's wishes?
Ruyi felt uneasy.
Aunt Xue waited for a moment and saw only Ruyi's pale face. She couldn't help but sneered and said disdainfully: "Look at you, you are so afraid. No wonder you..."
No wonder she can only serve as a slave for the rest of her life, but she was brave enough to give birth to a young master and secure her position as a concubine.
If Chen Chunfang hadn't been unable to give birth to a child, and she had given birth to the eldest son of a concubine, and was born a slave, she would have been a maid in the Duke's mansion for the rest of her life!
So people still have to rely on being able to calculate.
Aunt Xue cursed a few times in her heart and asked Ruyi to help her walk back to the meeting place.
When passing by Baixiang Pavilion, I heard Aunt An's crisp and sweet laughter.
As charming as the call of a thrush, Aunt Xue couldn't help but frown, with a bit of a smile on her face.
When I saw Aunt An wearing a brown flowered skirt and tea grosgrain shoes on her feet, each of which was inlaid with a pearl the size of a fingernail, which was so dazzling in the sunlight, she was slightly startled.
Aunt An followed Aunt Xue's gaze and saw that the other party was looking at her embroidered shoes, so she took a few steps forward. Her waist was swaying, and her figure looked very enchanting.
Aunt Xue's smile grew bigger and bigger.
Aunt An snorted and said in surprise: "Aunt Xue used to go to greet the Duke's wife in the morning and dusk, and she was always the first one. I thought you would be the saddest when my wife is going to the funeral today, but I didn't expect that you could still laugh.
.”
Aunt Xue's smile froze, and after a moment she said calmly: "It's just a bitter smile because life is impermanent."
Aunt An looked at Aunt Xue and sneered, grabbed Sanniang behind her, raised her voice and said: "I heard that the eldest young master also went to attend the funeral today. It's a pity. It's common for concubines to come out because the eldest young master is their son.
After kneeling hard in front of my wife for a few days, I was able to go to the funeral. But we, Sanniang, did not have this opportunity." There was sharp jealousy hidden in his tone.
Aunt An was favored in her early years, and Li Jian'an's ambiguous attitude towards her made Aunt Xue and Aunt Liu always wary, and even Chen Chunfang had to look forward and backward.
Aunt Xue had long been accustomed to Aunt An's provocative attitude. No matter what Aunt An said, she would just respond calmly without changing her face.
Aunt An said a few words but found it boring.
When you quarrel with someone, you are not afraid of others raising their voice or speaking harshly, but you are afraid that if you punch the cotton, it will not be able to exert any force.
Not long after, Aunt An became self-conscious and shut up.
On the contrary, Sanniang who was following her felt anxious when she saw Aunt Xue's motionless look. She winked at Aunt An frequently, but she ignored her and could only worry secretly beside her.
Aunt Xue was shocked when she saw it, but she still said nothing.
As soon as Aunt Xue left, Sanniang looked at Aunt An who was still aggrieved. She burst into tears and complained: "What are you doing? She wants to offend everyone in the family."
No, even if you don’t think about it for yourself, you should at least think about it for me.”
Aunt An opened her eyes wide and stared at Sanniang, "What are you talking about? I don't feel sorry for you enough. I can't bear to use all the good things your uncle sends you every year, so they go to your house."
How about moving it inside?
Even if I don't think about you, don't you even look at it. Except for Brother Wu, who else in this family can match you in terms of food and clothing." He said with a bit of pride, "It's the fourth and third bedrooms.
Even the direct descendants are not as good as you."
Sanniang stamped her feet angrily, and when she saw no one around, she cried: "Auntie, you are so confused. Since you know that I am a concubine, how can you always send those good things to my house and let my father and the wife see you?"
What should you think about? My father has always been unhappy with your close contact with the An family, and you often collect things from there."
Aunt An said angrily: "What's An's house? That's your uncle's house."
Sanniang said with a straight face: "My uncle's family is the Chen family!"
The person Aunt An hated the most in her life was Chen Chunfang. When Sanniang said this, she raised her hand and almost hit her. In the end, she couldn't put it down and said, "Even you look down on the An family."
When Sanniang saw Aunt An like this, she couldn't help but feel a little soft. But she had wanted to say what she said today. Otherwise, she was really afraid of herself, and she would end up worse than Ruiniang in the end. She was old
She is young, but she has seen clearly the life of a concubine for so many years.
"Auntie, don't blame me for telling you. I am only so young and know the importance, but why can't you see clearly the current situation at home? Mei Xiangyuan's mother is about to get married, and she is loved by her father.
.You offended her last time, which was already bad. In addition, your father has always treated you badly.
Neither cold nor hot, you have offended Aunt Xue again. I know you look down on her as just a slave. But she gave birth to her father's eldest son. If the family is divided in the future, she can still be taken out. I am just a
