Chapter 151 Lifting the Concubine
Chapter 151 Lifting the Concubine
morning.
Mother Huang came to the study early because of Liu's order.
Shi Tou was not there. She knocked on the door for a while, but no one responded. Then she pushed the door open while calling out tentatively.
"Sir, the old lady ordered..."
After taking two steps, he saw two figures entangled on the couch.
"grown ups!"
She was stunned at first, then she covered her face in shock and turned away.
He Minzhi finally woke up after hearing Huang's mother's call.
Xiaocao also woke up, looked up and saw the authoritative Mother Huang, and was immediately frightened.
"S-Sir..."
He Minzhi came back to his senses at this moment and subconsciously picked up Xiaocao in his arms.
Xiaocao, who had just experienced sex for the first time, had a flushed face and wet eyes. She was like a frightened deer and was protected in He Minzhi's arms.
As if he had finally found his own style as the master of the house, he said calmly: "Let Xue come over and arrange for the concubine to be carried away."
Mother Huang swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and looked at him in disbelief.
How could such words come out of an adult's mouth?
……
The He Mansion is so small that any disturbance will spread quickly throughout the mansion.
Xue Chenyu had a sound sleep and was still savoring her sweet dream when she was woken up by Yuzhu.
"What happened? Is the sky falling?"
Yuzhu supported her forehead and said, "Miss, Xiaocao went to the study to serve last night."
Xue Chenyu paused and finally came to her senses.
It turned out to be the case.
After so long, Xiaocao finally found an opportunity.
"What's He Minzhi's attitude? What's the old lady's reaction?"
Yuzhuxu clenched a fist against her lips, as if she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh too loudly. "Well, early this morning, Mother Huang was ordered to go to the study and saw Xiaocao and Master He sleeping together."
This saves some trouble.
"Master He asked Madam Huang to come and invite you, saying that he wants to take Xiaocao as his concubine."
"Pfft..." Xue Chenyu couldn't help laughing out loud.
She usually doesn't laugh at things like this unless she can't help it.
If this news gets out, Ji Minrou, the housekeeper, will be so angry that she will die.
Xue Chenyu stroked her temples and sat up slowly. "Bring me that new red skirt and long sleeves. We have a happy event today."
Yuzhu suppressed her laughter and said yes, and helped her wash and dress.
After breakfast, news came from Ciwenyuan that Liu wanted to see her.
Xue Chenyu naturally had no reason to refuse such a summons from her mother-in-law, so she dressed up and went there.
When she arrived, Ji Minrou, Xiaocao, He Ruyi and others were all there.
Liu sat at the top, with no expression on her face, and it was unclear whether she was happy or angry.
Until Camellia reminded: "Madam is here."
Liu sat up straight, and everyone else also sat up straight.
"Daughter-in-law greets the old lady." Xue Chenyu bowed obediently.
Liu raised her hand quickly and said, "Hurry up and sit here with me."
Xue Chenyu didn't really go over, she just stood there quietly, looking around.
The grass that originally could only stand in the corner now has a place.
He Ruyi looked unhappy. He looked at Ji Minrou and then at Xiaocao, both of whom seemed very unhappy.
As for Ji Minrou, she was full of resentment. Even if you didn't look, you could feel it. The look in her eyes when she looked at Xiaocao was as if she wanted to tear the person apart.
"Yu'er. I called you here so early in the morning because I really have something for you to do. Look." Liu pointed at Xiaocao.
Compared to her hesitant look, Xue Chenyu was frank: "I understand what the old lady means. I also heard from Yuzhu that Lord He means to carry Xiaocao away with my concubine."
"You have no objection?" Liu looked at her for a long time, but did not see any displeasure on her face.
Xue Chenyu asked in return, "Since Xiaocao has served Master He, she is his. It is only natural for her to be his concubine. Why would a daughter-in-law have any objections?"
Liu had originally prepared a basket of words, but at this moment they were indeed completely useless.
Xue Chenyu sat down, drank a cup of tea, and quickly decided on the procedure.
Xiaocao is a maid in the mansion and is a member of the mansion. There is no need to make a big fuss about promoting her to a concubine. Just pick a day and offer a cup of tea to Xue Chenyu, the wife.
Under normal circumstances, even if he wanted to take a concubine, he would have to prepare two tables of banquets for the whole family to eat together. However, now that He Ruyi's wedding date is approaching, he cannot spare the time and energy to do this.
Xue Chenyu meant, "We can wait until the second young lady gets married and then give her a banquet. What do you think, old lady?"
"Let's do it this way." Liu thought this was a good idea.
She even thought that it was just a concubine, so it didn't matter if she didn't hold the wedding banquet later.
But right now, this matter must not be made a big deal and spread out. When my daughter is about to get married, my son has already chosen a concubine. It will be a disgrace if it gets out.
Thinking of this, she sincerely praised Xue Chenyu and said, "Yu'er, you are still sensible. I am relieved to leave this to you."
"You are too kind, old lady. You are my only son. It is my duty as a daughter-in-law to help him have children and grandchildren as soon as possible."
Xue Chenyu said this sincerely, and Liu was very pleased and satisfied.
The anger I felt yesterday about having so many things taken away seemed to be offset a little.
Xue Chenyu took the opportunity to take Xiaocao's indenture.
Liu didn't say much about this matter. As soon as she opened her mouth, Liu readily asked Mother Huang to bring it to her.
Xiao Cao thanked Xue Chenyu profusely, "Thank you, Madam. Your kindness is so great, and I will never forget it."
Look, the little girl who has not received much education was so excited that she even used idioms.
"Hmph, just pretending." He Ruyi acted disdainful, as if he was just there to watch the fun.
He pretended to be magnanimous in front of others, but who knew how angry Xue Chenyu was in private.
“…” The only one who was so angry that she was jumping up and down was Ji Minrou, and she didn’t even have the qualifications to vent her anger openly.
How on earth could she be inferior to this cheap girl?
Coming out of Liu's house, Ji Minrou stared at Xiaocao with eyes as sharp as knives.
"Madam, I want to talk to Xiaocao. Is it convenient?"
Xue Chenyu looked at Xiaocao, waiting for her to make her own decision.
Her original intention was to let Xiaocao go to Furongju to wait for her marriage for the next two days, and after two days when everything was ready, she would let Xiaocao go to serve He Minzhi.
But Xiaocao thought for a moment and said, "Madam, I want to say a few words to my cousin."
"Go ahead, and be careful." Xue Chenyu said with a hint of meaning.
"Don't worry, madam. I know everything." Xiaocao nodded and followed Ji Minrou obediently, which was rare.
She did this right under Ji Minrou's nose, and she knew that Ji Minrou would hate her to death.
But since she dared to do this, she was not afraid that Ji Minrou would cause trouble for her.
Unless Ji Minrou doesn't want to stay in the He family anymore.
