Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 15 Lin's Calculation
"Moon."

Qiu Mingyue turned around, "Is Dad okay?"

The old master looked a little guilty, "Green kite..."

Qiu Mingyue interrupted him with a faint smile, "Lu Yuan made a mistake, mother should punish her." She lowered her eyes and her face was a little gloomy, which showed that she was still a little sad in her heart.

On the one hand, the elder comforted his daughter for being sensible and courteous, but on the other hand, he was also annoyed that Mrs. Lin was too arrogant and domineering. On the first day her daughter entered the mansion, she punished her maid. His heart was so cruel that it was lawless.Seeing his daughter being wronged and explaining for Lin, he felt even more guilty.

"I told my mother just now that mother will arrange for the maid to come into the house in two days, and let you mother and son choose some maids to serve in the house." The elder said this to Mrs. Chen, but the implication was It gave Qiu Mingyue a reassurance.

Because after dinner just now, the eldest lady said one last thing.The three of them, mother and son, just came from Yangzhou, and they didn't have many maids to serve them, so they will assign maids to them tomorrow.She knew that these servant girls must be selected from the mansion.The Lin family has been in charge of the family for more than ten years, and most of the maids in the mansion are Lin's confidantes.The maid assigned by her is, to put it bluntly, an undercover agent to monitor Shen's mother and son, can Qiu Mingyue rest assured?
What the old master said clearly, since the maid was allowed to enter the mansion, the maid who bought must be from outside.These people are not the children of Qiufu's family, so the chance of becoming an undercover agent is much smaller.Although it is possible to buy these people with Da Furen's methods and contacts.But as long as someone is not loyal to the eldest lady from the beginning, there is room for change, isn't there?You know, the Tao is one foot tall, and the devil is one foot tall.

After Qiu Mingyue returned to Xueyue Pavilion, Nanny Sun and the others naturally knew that Lu Yuan had been demoted to the laundry room.They knew Qiu Mingyue's good intentions, and when they thought of how difficult their master had just entered Qiu's house, and his meticulous calculations, they felt distressed, so they didn't say anything, and retreated after serving her to wash.

But she said that the eldest lady had finally dealt with Qiu Mingyue's maid tonight. She was in a good mood, but when she came back, she heard the maid said that the elder had gone to Shen's house.Immediately, his face was overcast, and he picked up the Qinghua Shouzi teacup on the table and was about to throw it on the ground.

Nanny Li just lifted the curtain and came in. Seeing this posture, she was so shocked that she immediately ran up to stop her.

"Oh, my wife, you can't get angry at this time. If the old master and the prince find out, they will say that you are narrow-minded and can't tolerate people." She took the teacup from the lady's hand as she spoke, She winked at the servant girl beside her, tortoise shell.The tortoise shell understood, and immediately went out to watch the whistle.

The lady sat down angrily, with a gloomy face.

"That little vixen, who seduced the master as soon as he came back, made me mad."

Nanny Li comforted from the side: "Ma'am, why are you angry with a concubine? It's not worth it. Then Mrs. Shen has been away for more than ten years and gave birth to two children for the master. She has just been picked up by the master. If At this time, the old man neglected her, and it is inevitable that he will have a reputation of being unkind. Even if it is heard by the old man and the old matriarch, it is unjustifiable."

The eldest lady also knows this reason, but she is panicking in her heart.She looked at Nanny Li, Nanny Li was her nurse, and she had been with her all these years and had given her advice.

"Nurse, you also know that the master's heart is not with me, and he has been very indifferent to me these years. If it weren't for Mingxia, I'm afraid..." The lady's brows and eyes dimmed when she said this, and her face no longer had the domineering look of the past. , but a little more miserable.

Mother Li also felt distressed when she saw it, she rolled her eyes and said, "Madam, don't forget, you are not the only one who is treated coldly when Mrs. Chen comes."

The eldest lady was startled, and then looked disgusted.

"You mean that bitch Ziyun?"

Nanny Li smiled, "Ma'am, have you forgotten Aunt Li?"

Da Furen's eyes flashed, and then she frowned.

"She is also useless, thanks to her charming face, she can't hold the master's heart." At that time, the elder was infatuated with Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Lin was angry and helpless. Nanny Li gave her advice and asked her to marry her. She turned the most beautiful maid around her to be the master's roommate.At the beginning, Lin had 1 disagreements, but seeing that the time for the Elder Master to step into his house was getting less and less, so he had to follow his words.

Her girl was very up-to-date, she was promoted to concubine after three months of housekeeping for the elder.And during that time, the number of times the Elder Master went to see Mrs. Chen was obviously less.Lin's heart was slightly relieved, but she didn't expect that Aunt Li was also useless.In just a few months, the Elder Master left her in the cold.Lin was so angry that she almost gritted her silver teeth.

Nanny Li smiled unfathomably, "Ma'am, Aunt Li has no children and was born as a maid, so she has no one to rely on in this mansion, and the master has not spoiled her these years, so I can only rely on your kindness to help her survive. What's more, she has received your grace to be blessed today, and people often say that a drop of grace should be repaid by a fountain. Now, it's time for Aunt Li to repay her favor."

The eldest lady narrowed her eyes, "Nurse is right."

The ancient wives and concubines had a strict hierarchical system. The concubine had to greet the eldest lady every day.Some mean mistresses will set rules for concubines.But a good concubine like Shen's is not needed.Therefore, the plan of the eldest lady to use this one to make things difficult for Shen was directly strangled to death in the cradle.However, in order not to fall into the trap of others, Shen's daily morning and evening routines were not neglected, and she was also very filial to the old lady and the old lady.Gradually, the grudge against Shen's in the old man's heart disappeared.In addition, Qiu Mingrui is a small person, but he learns his homework very well.This made the self-proclaimed noble old man even more delighted. He also felt that Mrs. Shen was educated properly, and even praised Mrs. Chen once in front of the eldest lady, who was so angry that she tightened her veil at that time , his face was terribly gloomy.Seeing Shen's flattered expression, a sinister glint shot out from his eyes.

Qiu Mingyue could tell that the old matriarch really liked Shen's, and there was no lack of kindness and care in her words, as well as a strong sense of guilt.Once, she inadvertently uttered a few words from Nanny Han next to the old matriarch.It turned out that the Shen family had once saved the old matriarch's life.

19 years ago, there was a coup in the palace, and there was a lot of fighting in Kyoto. The old lady Jia fled to Yangzhou with her daughter and servants.Jia Shi was extremely exhausted from running around for days, and now he was even more angry, and fell ill.At that time, they were penniless and slept in a ruined temple. Fortunately, the mother and daughter of the Yu family who came back from their natal family came to save their lives.Shen Shi even took care of Jia Shi's bedside for half a month, and Jia Shi was very grateful and fond of her.

Later, the Elder went to Yangzhou to pick up Mrs. Jia, met Mrs. Shen, and fell in love with Mrs. Chen at first sight.Originally, Shen's mothers, Yu and Jia, had already made a marriage contract for the two of them, but they didn't expect that later, by mistake, the elder married the grand master's second daughter, Lin.
