Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 359 Wives and concubines ([-])

Shen Yuechen had expected her to be like this, and only said: "My uncle is busy, so he went out early in the morning. If you really want to see him, you have to wait until after dinner."

With just one sentence, Cao's mind turned several times. Hearing the words, she couldn't help but look at Shen Yuechen. Seeing her agreeing so happily, her heart felt cold again.

Both Liu Shi and Wang Shi have no idea. Seeing that Cao Shi's face is not right, they can't help but start to care about it secretly.

Shen Yuechen did not put on airs aggressively to suppress others, this matter cannot be rushed.

Unprepared, Cao Shi was frightened by Shen Yuechen's words and fled. In a panic, he found an excuse to get up and leave.

Liu Shi and Wang Shi followed suit and got up and left.

Chun Ming looked at their backs, shook her head repeatedly, and said, "Miss, your temper is too good. You are the master, and they are slaves. You don't have to discuss with them. You can do whatever you want."

Shen Yuechen took a sip of tea and said: "The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, if you press it too tightly, it's not good."

Chunming said: "Mr. Cao wants to see the uncle. If the time comes and weep and make trouble, if the uncle's heart softens, what should we do?"

Shen Yuechen thought for a while and said, "Let's see. She is sister Ying's biological mother after all. If the uncle asks to keep her, it is reasonable."

You can't say too much, and you can't do too much.

Seeing that the aunts had left, Mama Wu called Cui Xin to clean up the table.

Chunming continued to whisper: "So what if it's the biological mother? A concubine is a concubine. Although Sister Ying was born by her, she is a young lady and a serious master. Unlike the Cao family, she can only be a slave for the rest of her life."

Shen Yuechen saw her words with certainty, and said: "Your mouth is really getting stronger and stronger, and you only pick those words that poke people's hearts."

When Chunming heard the words, she lowered her eyes slightly and said: "Miss, you are a bodhisattva with a heart, you never hurt others, and those powerful words can only be told by your servants."

Wu Ma was by the side, listening to her talk more and more, she reminded: "Today, new flowers will be planted in the yard, you should go over early and have a look."

After Chunming heard it, she quickly remembered that she still had something to do at hand, she gave Shen Yuechen a blessing, and hurriedly backed away.

Shen Yuechen immediately looked at Wu Ma and said, "Mom, come and talk to me."

Wu Ma understood, and slowly stepped forward and said, "I just want to talk to Miss."

The master and servant sat opposite each other, and Wu Ma took the lead and said, "Miss, I have taken care of you since I was a child, and I know that you are a tolerant person. Only this time, miss, why did you..."

Halfway through the conversation, Mama Wu hesitated.

Shen Yuechen heard the words, smiled quietly and said: "Is Mom wondering? Why am I suddenly so cruel, and I want to drive Cao and the others away."

Wu Ma shook her head and said: "Miss must have her own reasons for doing this, but I am worried that even if the uncle nods in agreement, the elders who are in the room may not agree... Moreover, if it is not done well, it will leave the miss Bitter reputation."

To be honest, since the young lady gave birth to brother Xuan, the two elders of the Zhu family loved the young lady more and more deeply, and even asked her to call her by the title.

Wu Ma knew all this was hard-won, and she didn't want Shen Yuechen to cause discord among the two elders because of those unfavored aunts, thinking that it would be bad for her to be proud of being favored.

Except Wu Ma, no one in this world would think so thoughtfully and carefully about her.

Shen Yuechen smiled faintly: "I've actually thought about my mother's worries. It's just a virtuous reputation. Although it sounds good, it's not enough to make me feel at ease."

After hearing this, Wu Ma thought for a while and said, "Although Mrs. Cao and the others have not been favored for a long time, they still keep their own place on weekdays, and there is nothing wrong with it. Moreover, there are so many maids and women in the yard staring at you." , look at it."

"When Xiaotao was poisoned, there were quite a few people around her serving her, but in the end she didn't follow He's way."

Wu Ma's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly realized.It turns out that this is what the lady has always cared about.

Shen Yuechen sighed lightly and said: "People's hearts change suddenly, sometimes only in the morning and evening, I don't want to live in defense all day and night, and, the uncle is sincere to me, which gives me the confidence to stick to my opinions."

If she and Zhu Jintang were just an ordinary couple who respected each other like guests, then she might never have such a bold idea in her whole life.

It was common for men in ancient times to have three wives and four concubines.This is a deep-rooted rule and a bad habit left over from thousands of years.Shen Yuechen never thought of changing the stubborn thoughts that had been deeply rooted in their hearts by himself.However, Zhu Jintang is different, he gave her such an opportunity and qualification to do what she wants.

A life of a couple, from age to age, a life of conjugal love may really exist.

Shen Yuechen didn't want to share her husband with others, nor did she want to see someone hiding in the dark, coveting her husband.

"Mom, life is short, I want to put my limited energy on those meaningful things, on the children."

When Wu Ma heard this, she nodded her head clearly: "Miss, I understand what I'm thinking. You're right. Instead of being on guard against villains every day, it's better to get rid of these evils completely."

Wu Ma originally wanted to persuade her, but now she understood what she meant, so she began to think of ways for her.

According to Cao's meaning, I am afraid that he would rather die than leave Zhu's house, and it is estimated that there will be several troubles.As for Liu's and Wang's, they are both insignificant characters, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they don't dare to say anything more.

It seems that we still need to find a way to make the Cao family submissive.

At the same time, Mrs. Cao hurriedly returned to her wing room, went straight to the tea table as soon as she entered the door, picked up the teapot on the table, and drank tea directly to the spout without using a cup.

Seeing this, the servant girl in the room hurriedly said: "Auntie, wait a little longer, the servant girl will just serve you."

When Cao Shi seldom lost her composure like this, others were startled when they saw her, and they didn't know what was wrong with her.

Cao's heart flustered very much. She felt her heart beating non-stop, as if it was about to pop out of her throat.

In such a panic, in such a hurry, it is impossible to press down without drinking some water.

While talking, Liu Shi and Wang Shi followed, apparently wanting to discuss with Cao Shi.

Mrs. Cao drank half of the pot of tea, and her clothes were dripping wet. When she saw Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang approaching, she couldn't help but sneered, "What are you doing here?"

Although her tone was blunt, the maids in the room had already shown the seats to the two of them.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang glanced at each other, and then said: "Just now in the main room... the words that Grandma said are really strange. We want to discuss with my sister and see what we should do?"

Mrs. Cao took out her handkerchief, wiped her face, and poured out all the resentment in her heart on the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "Hmph! Are you two really stupid or just pretending to be confused? Can't you hear what Grandma means?" Come out? The reason why we signed the death contract to come to the Zhu family was because we were going to live in the Zhu family for the rest of our lives. Now, the grandma suddenly said that the death contract should be changed into a living contract. Think about it, she is What's the meaning?"

When the two of them heard the words, their expressions immediately changed. Mrs. Wang was so timid that she was frightened and cried on the spot.

Liu's eyes were also red, and she shook her head, as if in disbelief: "No, no... We are all members of the Zhu family."

Mrs. Cao glared at them angrily: "Don't cry at me! Cry, what's the use of crying? Grandma is always shrewd, this time she's going to count us all in!"

Compared to Liu Shi and Wang Shi's shock and fear, Cao Shi was a little more annoyed.

She tried so hard to curry favor with Shen Yuechen before that she even gave up her daughter.She thought that even if Shen Yuechen had a grudge against her before, it would be for Sister Ying's sake, and she would not make things difficult for her.Who would have thought that Shen Yuechen would turn his face on and deny anyone, turn his face on as soon as he said he would turn his face on, without even catching a single mistake, he was about to kick them out...

It's just too deceiving!

Sitting slumped on the chair, she covered her face and wept, "What did we do wrong? Why did Grandma drive us out...Sister Cao, sister...you have to help us find a way!"

Mrs. Cao didn't like to see her dejected look, so she turned her head away and said, "I'll help you, who will help me? I think we should go our own way. After all, you and I are both mud bodhisattvas crossing the river." , I can't protect myself."

Although they are both aunts, Mrs. Cao has never regarded herself as the same as them.After all, she gave birth to a daughter for the Zhu family. Although she was just an inconspicuous concubine, she was also of the Zhu family's blood.Moreover, after Zhu Ying was brought up by Shen Yuechen's side, her status was no different from that of a prostitute.

Seeing that Cao's tone was not friendly, Mrs. Liu snorted softly, turned around and took Wang's hand, and said, "Don't cry too, Sister Cao is different from us. No matter how bad it is, she still has a daughter who can be with her. Let's Can't compare with others..."

Mrs. Wang cried like pear blossoms and rain, but unfortunately, no one except Mrs. Liu would feel sorry for her.

Mrs. Liu led Wang away angrily, but Mrs. Cao ignored her.Now, she has no time to pay attention to others, so she can only take care of herself first.

Liu shi comforted Wang shi all the way, although she was also very scared, but seeing her crying like this, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

Chunming was in the yard giving instructions to the gardener, and accidentally saw the two coming out of Cao's room, couldn't help but chuckled, and thought: What's the use of hugging at this time?Waste of effort!
Chunming was about to turn around, but accidentally noticed Liu Shi's subtle move, and immediately frowned, feeling weird in her heart, with an inexplicable feeling.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang have always been close. They came from the same humble background and were not favored, so they often stayed together and went in and out every day. They seemed closer than real sisters...

Chun Ming shook her head secretly, feeling that she was thinking too much, but on second thought, she felt something was wrong... something was wrong, something was really wrong.
