“Tell…the first master.” Leng Yan repeated Rou’er’s words and started to think about the feasibility of this suggestion.
Rou’er nodded repeatedly and looked more excited. “Right, right! If the first master knows this matter, he wouldn’t let Princess Royal and the others fulfill this plot. Then you just need to ask him to show mercy and you won’t marry him with a grievance. Perhaps he will make you get rid of the identity as a slave and find a place for you as he is soft-hearted.”
The words “get rid of the identity as a slave” mentioned what Leng Yan desired most.
She felt tempted involuntarily, but thinking of Mo Shujun’s methods, she was scared and shook her head repeatedly. “If Princess Royal knows that I reveal the secret, she won’t let me go!”
She would be skinned alive at least, and she might even have a living death.
Leng Yan had been working for Mo Shujun for so many years and seen her punish the servants who di
Hearing that Shi Junhe had a request, Mo Shujun got unhappy, but since he had agreed with her, she still controlled herself and planned to listen to him first. What on earth did he want to do?“What do you want?”Shi Junhe pursed his lips and pondered for a while. Then he replied, “I hope that I can marry her as a concubine in a low profile. Don’t spread the news or let all people know it. Can you promise me, Mother?”Mo Shujun pondered for a moment and soon understood why Shi Junhe asked her to do that.Although she was resentful as Shi Junhe still considered for Dong Hui, she didn’t want to make the bad relationship between her and her son worse, so she nodded in agreement.“Since you requested that, I can promise you.” Mo Shujun nodded at leisure.Then she made her requirement naturally. “But I demand you to marry Leng Yan in five days.”Shi Junhe was stunned and asked, “Why are you so anxi
The people in the East House were determined to keep it a secret as Leng Yan would get married and move in. All people shut their mouths.Not to mention the outsiders, few people in the mansion knew that Leng Yan would move to the East House in three days.Some people knew it and remained mute as if their mouths were sealed as they were afraid that Shi Qingxue would find that they were gossiping.Since Shi Junhe agreed to marry her, Leng Yan started to dream about being a happy concubine, but unexpectedly, after a few days, few people congratulated or flattered her. Even when she bumped into some people on the way, their bantering eyes seemed to take off her clothes as they would watch a play.It embarrassed and depressed her.However, after Mo Shujun promised Shi Junhe not to spread the news, she didn’t care and remained unmoved when she watched others laugh at Leng Yan.Leng Yan finally couldn’t endure i
It was Mo Shujun’s first time to be interrupted, yet she didn’t get angry. Instead, she just looked at Ouyang Yuxin indifferently. “Madam Dong, what do you want to tell me?”Ouyang Yuxin showed a cold face and rebuked angrily, “When your son married my daughter, he promised that he would never have a concubine. We didn’t bother about his concubine’s daughter, but you dare to tell him to take another concubine. Do you think that the members of the Dong family can be bullied easily?”Dong Hui’s mother was quick-tongued and said a lot.Unexpectedly, Mo Shujun didn’t even want to glance at Ouyang Yuxin, and she responded loftily, “That was in the past, and it’s different now. When Dong got married, she didn’t say that she would make our family have no descendant.”The biggest impiety was having no descendant.The descendant was not a child but a boy who could inherit the title of nobility.Dong Hui didn’t give
Dong Biren looked into the distance, with nostalgia in his deep eyes.After a long time, he stated, “Shi Lei replied that he learnt it from me. It’s said that things of a kind come together and people of a mind fall into the same group, so he was the same kind of person as me…“Listen. He just acted shamelessly.”Dong Biren said the last words with a smile after he turned to Shi Qingxue.Before Shi Qingxue responded, he continued, “At that time, I said he was captious, but he didn’t admit it and insisted that what he said was the truth, and he asked me to find a reason to retort him. He even argued that if I, a Confucian scholar couldn’t find an argument, then it proved that he was right.”Shi Qingxue didn’t know that Shi Lei was so fun when he was young, and she was anxious to know more. “Grandpa, did you find a reason to retort him?”Dong Biren glanced at Shi Qingxue gloomily and asked in reply, “Didn’t
Three days later, Duke Shi’s mansion was decorated with lanterns and colored hangings, in a festive atmosphere.After Mo Shujun fell out with Shi Junhe in the Dong family’s mansion, she became brazen.She broke her promise that she wouldn’t let everybody know about Shi Junhe’s marriage to a concubine.Now all people in the mansion knew that the maid Leng Yan would marry the first master as his concubine, and some people were jealous of her.Some people were happy and some were sad.Early in the morning, Shi Qingxue prepared to go out. When she walked out of the East House, she saw that Shi Jie rushed in with a letter in his hand hastily. He even forgot to bow to her after seeing her and just ran to the study.Qingxue was confused and subconsciously told him to stop.“What is it in your hand?”Shi Jie seemed to finally notice Shi Qingxue in front of him. His face stiffened, and he
Shi Baojing thought of that day when her mother in name Zhang Qiuyan forced her to get married.The second madam Zhang Qiuyan would marry her to an official, a widower, who was cruel, with a lust for women. He was rude in bed, so he killed several wives.If Shi Baojing didn’t know that Zhang Qiuyan chose such a husband who would kill her, she almost gave up her relationship with Mo Junwen and prepared to listen to her parents and get married.Fortunately, later Mo Junwen found that official’s bad habit and tried his best to persuade her to refuse this marriage, and he even said that he was willing to give up his title as a prince and rove with her all over the world.Even Mo Junwen could give up everything so bravely because of her, so Shi Baojing suddenly got reluctant.She finally fell in love with somebody, and more rarely, he returned her so much love.If she gave up so easily, it would be a pity.
Rou’er sat on the floor on her knees and looked at the place in shock where the light scattered in the front, asking in fear, “Who, who is there?”In the beginning, there was no sound.She tried to support herself and walk forward to have a look, but when she was about to get up, she heard a deep and hoarse male voice from ahead. “The maid Rou’er!”“I am here!” Rou’er subconsciously answered, and then a terrified feeling rose to her head from her sole.Who was calling her?There was only one person in the room.However, when she started to think about this question, the deep male voice continued to grunt, “Are you going to admit your guilt?”“What, what guilt?” Rou’er responded in panic and then looked around all of a sudden, but it was silent and there was nobody except her.As soon as she finished her words, a loud and clear sound of knocking on the table with a wood appeared an
Leng Yan intentionally raised her face with tears and looked at Shi Junhe, calling pitifully, “My Lord.”Shi Junhe was completely indifferent and didn’t even give Leng Yan a glance.“If you are tired, have a rest on the couch. Don’t lie on the bed.” After Shi Junhe said that casually, he picked up the book he had brought and read it.No matter how Leng Yan acted seductively in front of Shi Junhe, it was useless.Leng Yan made all kinds of poses to pretend to be pitiful and lure Shi Junhe, but she couldn’t arouse him at all, which made her furious.She could hardly keep the faint smile on her face.Fortunately, Shi Junhe concentrated on reading the book and didn’t pay attention to her.Leng Yan sat on the bed for quite a while and finally felt reluctant as she would waste a night.Later, she got up from the bed and walked slowly to Shi Junhe. Then she picked up the wine pot on the
