I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 62: An old clam gives birth to a pearl?

Xie Fei looked at everyone's expressions and comforted them, "Don't be disappointed, sisters. As long as the master is in the house, everyone has a chance."

A concubine said, "That's easy to say! If Wu gets pregnant, she will be able to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix!"

Miao snorted coldly, "Do you think this child can be conceived just like that? At Wu's age, do you still want to give birth to a pearl?"

Xie Fei: "..."

Studying for a doctorate or postgraduate degree, being alone, being an older single woman, being single since birth, these are all implied.

Xiang Xiaoniang said, "Wu Xiaoniang is not even thirty yet, how come she is already pregnant? But it's good that she is pregnant, because we are happy that our master will have a successor."

Miao's face looked grim and she clenched her fists.

She rolled her eyes and said to Xie Fei, "In the past, Wu was the most diligent in coming. Now that she is favored, she doesn't even take you, Sister Xie, seriously and doesn't even come to pay her respects."

This provocation was too obvious, and Xie Fei remained unmoved.

"Sister Wu is favored by the Lord, we should all be happy for her. Besides, I am of equal status with all the sisters, and Sister Wu entered the mansion before me, so there is no need for her to greet me."

Whether to greet or not, Xie Fei has always regarded this as a feudal custom. If you have the time, can't you get some more beauty sleep?

After failing to instigate Xie Fei, Miao slammed the door and left in anger.

The others also looked dejected and said goodbye.

Only Xiang Xiaoniang was sitting below, and she said to Xie Fei, "In fact, Shanyue is also a miserable person. She was redeemed by the master and was favored for a long time, but was still abandoned. She often said that she is old now, and if she doesn't give birth to a child, she will be alone in the future, and that will be miserable in her later years."

Xie Fei said: "Sister Wu's concerns are normal. I hope she can get what she wants."

Xiang Xiaoniang said a few words and left, leaving Xie Fei sitting there thinking about something.

Women in Dajing could not hold office unless their father, brothers, husbands, and sons were all dead. Otherwise, they could not set up a household on their own and had to rely on men for their entire lives.

Wu Shanyue is making plans for her life, but how will her future go?

In the afternoon, just as Xie Fei came back from outside, he heard the maid come to report that Wu Shanyue had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Xie Fei stepped into the main hall, Wu Shanyue stood up shyly and bowed, "Sister, thank you for what you did yesterday."

Seeing her blushing face, as shy and beautiful as a blooming peach blossom, Xie Fei couldn't help but smile too.

"Sister Wu finally got what she wanted?"

After being loved for a whole night, Wu Shanyue's figure and temperament seemed to have become more mature and charming. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, feeling shy.

"My Lord is in a good mood and let me go this morning. I hope I can have your child. Even if it's a daughter, I won't be lonely."

Xie Fei thought, how much deer blood wine did Pei Yuan drink to be able to indulge himself for a whole night?
But this is the master's private affairs in the bedroom, and she has no right to interfere.

After sitting down, Xie Fei said again: "The Lord has deep feelings for me. As long as I seize the opportunity, I will be able to realize my wish."

Miao said that Wu Shanyue was "an old clam giving birth to a pearl", but she didn't know that this age was the most suitable for childbearing. On the contrary, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, the body was not fully developed and was not suitable for bearing flesh and blood.

Xie Fei was very optimistic about Wu Shanyue, and taught her a few simple tricks, which made her feel ashamed.

In addition, Wu Shanyue also brought some gifts.

"They are all gifts from the Lord. They include expensive fabrics, spices, jewelry, and porcelain. I hope they will please Sister Xie."

Xie Fei had already seen that behind Wu Shanyue there was a row of maids holding trays, with valuables under the red cloth.

"I appreciate your kindness, sister. But if you thank me so publicly, the other sisters will definitely blame me for favoring you if they know about it."

Wu Shanyue said quickly: "Don't worry, sister. I have the same concerns, so I sent them to every room and courtyard, even to the eldest lady. No one will know the inside story."

She was a straightforward person who could distinguish right from wrong. Xie Fei was helping her with good intentions, so she would not stab Xie Fei in the back. Only then did Xie Fei feel relieved to accept the gift.

The news of Wu Shanyue's favor soon spread throughout the house, and even the old lady and Xiao Shirong knew about it.

The old lady didn't react much. After all, they were all concubines, and no matter how favored they were, they could not shake the position of the wife.

Furthermore, if Wu Shanyue could really have a child, it would be beneficial to Xiao Shirong, her stepmother.

But Xiao Shirong didn't think so. After hearing the news, she was both angry and surprised.

"How come Wu Shanyue, who usually keeps silent, suddenly confuses the master?"

Mother Tang asked, "Could it be related to Miss Xie? Miss Xie was the one who organized the family dinner."

Xiao Shirong disagreed, "If she was really a daughter of the Xie family, why didn't she use some tricks to get herself in the position?"

Why do you have to push an old woman who has no talent or looks?
Xiao Shirong looked solemn, always feeling that things seemed to be out of her control.

In fact, Wu Shanyue entered the mansion at about the same time as her.

At that time, not long after she married into the Pei family, Pei Yuan returned from the frontier.

She looked down on Pei Yuan's ignorance and dissolute nature, while Pei Yuan was afraid of her cold face, cold heart, arrogance and domineering nature.

The couple had no feelings for each other at all. Pei Yuan was always flirting with other women outside, and the first woman he brought back was Wu Shanyue.

Although this woman is a singer, she has a straightforward personality, is simple-minded, and is a straightforward and efficient person.

In addition, she was not pretty enough and did not know how to flatter others, so Xiao Shirong never took her seriously.

Now, I hope that my lord is just in a whim.

In the mud house next to the bamboo forest, Xie Fei changed the medicine for Li Die'er's wound.

Lidie'er was feeling much better. Her wounds were scabbing over and her fever was going away. She no longer whimpered or groaned in pain.

She was very grateful to Xie Fei and Su Lu, but as a lowly servant, she wondered what she could do to repay them.
Xie Fei saw through her thoughts and said, "You should heal your wound first, and we can talk about other things later."

Li Die'er nodded, then remembered that after her injury healed, she would probably have to go back to serve Miao.

Thinking of Miao's angry and cold face, Li Die'er couldn't help but tremble.

Xie Fei patted her shoulder gently, silently comforting her.

Su Lu pushed the door open and walked in, and came to Xie Fei and whispered, "Xie Xiao Niang, someone from the first house came and said that the mansion will hold a full moon banquet, please go."

Xie Fei covered Li Die'er with a blanket and asked in confusion, "Full moon banquet? The eldest wife has another child?"

"Yes, the eldest son of the first wife is appointed Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and his son just turned one month old." Su Lu explained.

The eldest wife's side sent an invitation to the Pei residence. Originally, Xiao Shirong was supposed to go, but Xiao Shirong was under house arrest and claimed to be sick, so he could not go.

Su Lu went to ask the old lady, and the old lady asked Xie Fei to go.

After all, you are a concubine. You can’t just take the monthly salary without doing any work.

Xie Fei had no way of shirking his responsibility, so he had to prepare a generous gift and attend the full moon banquet of the eldest wife.

The first wife is the eldest son of Marquis Anyuan and will inherit the title in the future, so her status is higher.

Although this uncle had several concubines, he did not have any illegitimate children. Only his wife, Madam Zheng, gave birth to three children.
