What Chu Yunli wants to do, no one can stop her.

After getting off the carriage, she went straight to Changfuyuan. Even though Chen Yuanlue followed closely and kept saying no, she pretended not to hear.

When passing by the main courtyard, Chen Yuanlue grabbed her and said, "I said no, can't you hear me?"

Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows, "It's my business to take a concubine and serve you. Of course, it's also my responsibility to take in a concubine you like. Since you like that widow, I'll take her in for you together."

Chen Yuanlue was choked up in his heart and shouted, "I don't want a concubine!"

"Hey, if you don't like it, just take it back and let it dry. I won't force you to touch it." Chu Yunli looked confused, "I just don't want the reputation of this jealous woman."

In fact, it was Lin Ranran who no longer wanted the reputation of this loving couple.

Shaking off his hand, Chu Yunli went straight to Changfuyuan. At this time, the old lady had just woken up. When she saw the couple coming in, and the atmosphere between them was not right, she asked doubtfully, "What's going on?"

This situation is rare, because in the past, although the old lady was not dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's identity, she was still a little unhappy with her taking care of her son, and she also mentioned the matter of concubinage.

Therefore, when the couple quarreled, they would never come to her. If they quarreled very much, Lin Ranran would go back to her parents' house to stay for a few days, and Chen Yuanlue would pick her up in person, and they would reconcile as before when they came back.

Chen Yuanlue hurriedly said, "It's okay!"

Chu Yunli stepped forward and said, "Mother, I want to take a concubine to serve my husband."

The old lady was a little surprised, with a smile on her face, "Have you finally figured it out?"

"Yes," Chu Yunli said in a serious tone, "My husband has been saying that he wants a daughter for so many years, but I can't have another child. I didn't understand what he meant earlier, so why did I adopt an adopted daughter? My husband obviously wants his own daughter.

Even if she is a concubine... Therefore, it is better to take a concubine, and let mother consider this choice."

It was early in the morning. The old lady had not slept well at night and was a little uncomfortable. After hearing these words, she felt completely comfortable. She looked particularly pleased with her daughter-in-law and said with a smile, "This is not a trivial matter. You have to think about it slowly."

Chu Yunli responded with a smile.

Although she said she was considering it slowly, the old lady was actually afraid that her daughter-in-law was just acting on a whim. In the afternoon, the news that Chen Yuanlue wanted to take a concubine had spread, and in the evening, several ladies came to visit.

Chu Yunli didn't interfere from beginning to end. When she went to pay her respects the next morning, the old lady specially left her behind. "After you told me yesterday, I let the news go out. Someone has already come to mention it. Forget about anything else."

There is a girl from the Hu family, your aunt's niece, who is twenty this year. After she met Yuan Lue once by chance three years ago, she was unwilling to marry again. The Hu family's business is also doing well, so why not...

Will it fulfill her wish?"

Earlier, Chu Yunli was afraid of choosing a young girl and ruining her life by marrying her. She thought that if this was what the old lady had decided, she would refuse. She didn't expect to find someone who was interested in Chen Yuanxiao.

So the best!

Chu Yunli nodded and said, "Mother, actually, my husband already has someone in his heart, and she is Xianle's mother..."

"No!" the old lady refused flatly, "If she were unmarried, she could barely get in, but she is already married and has a child. Any girl would be better than her."

It seems that the old lady knows the identity of their mother and daughter.

Chu Yunli said helplessly, "I believe my mother has also heard about what happened yesterday morning. The master went there early in the morning. I'm afraid... if I leave that woman in the back alley, the master will go there often and there will be rumors."

When something scandalous comes, it’s easy to talk about it but not easy to hear.”

The old lady looked cautious.

Chu Yunli continued, "After bringing her in, the master will naturally feel at ease. Only our family knows about the two of us."

The old lady sighed, "I feel so wronged by Yuan Lue."

Chen Yuanlue went there on his own, so how could he be wronged?

Chu Yunli was silent. When the old lady saw this, she thought she was uncomfortable, and was afraid that she would regret it, so she hurriedly said, "Then I will ask someone to come to pick it up. Why don't we just go in together?"

"It's all up to you." Chu Yunli stood up and retreated.

Perhaps the old lady was really afraid that she would regret it, so two days later, she had already decided on a date for the Hu family's daughter to come in, which would be five days later. As for Zhang Liyuan, the marriage had been decided, but the date had not yet been set.

The date here was decided, the old lady told the outside world, and Chen Yuanlue got the news.

Chu Yunli was watching some girls embroidering. Chen Yuanlue came in angrily and saw several young girls in the room. He paused and said, "I have something to tell you."

After saying that, he went out.

Several little girls were a little scared. The last one who stayed and the oldest among them was Xianqin, who was a little worried, "Mom, is father angry?"

Chu Yunli smiled and said, "It's okay, just embroider carefully."

Chen Yuanlue stood under the big tree in the yard, pacing with his hands behind his hands. When he saw her going out, he scolded her, "I said I won't take concubines, do you have to go against me?"

Chu Yunli was only three steps away from him, "I just mentioned it, it was all arranged by my mother."

Chen Yuanlue was speechless. The old lady was indeed a little dissatisfied with him for having only one son. When he heard that she was willing to take a concubine, of course the sooner the better.

"Let's cancel the marriage!" Chen Yuanlue waved his hand, "I didn't want to take a concubine. Also, why did Xian Le's mother say that I wanted to take her in?"

Chu Yunli lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I think you can't let it go, so I specifically asked my mother for it. At first, my mother didn't agree, but I persuaded her before she relented."

Chen Yuanlue: "..." Do you still feel you deserve credit for being a co-author?

Chen Yuanlue felt a surge of anger rushing to his forehead, but the quarrel between husband and wife was not the attitude of discussing things. He softened his tone and said, "To tell you the truth, Xianle's mother grew up with me, and I took over Xianle's

As a daughter, I do want to take care of her, but it is just to take care of my sister, I really have no other intentions. If she was willing to be a concubine, she would not go out to get married."

If this is understood correctly, it is a disguised admission that the two of them were in love at first, but because of their status, Chen Yuanlue could not marry her, so she left the house to get married?

"This marriage... let's call it off." He sighed.

Chu Yunli raised her eyes and looked at him, "Are you feeling sorry?"

Chen Yuan was startled for a moment. He seemed to be... really feeling regretful.

"I didn't." He denied it flatly and warned, "Don't force her. She has a strong temper and won't agree to be a concubine. If you force her, she will die!"

Will you die if you don’t become a concubine?

Such women do exist, but if you say that Zhang Liyuan has no yearning for the wealth of the Chen family, even a liar would not believe it!

If she didn't know that the Chen family was living well, why would she send her daughter back?

Not to mention that in my previous life, I was waiting for Chen Yuanlue to get married.

Chu Yunli opened her mouth and said, "It's all handled by my mother. Go ahead and tell her."

Chen Yuanlue was furious, "You..." He took back his hand, "I will speak for myself!"

After he left, Chu Yunli turned around and saw several faces crowded behind the window. Chen Xianle stood at the front, with a pale face.

Chu Yunli smiled, "Your mother is about to be reunited with you, why aren't you happy?"

Chen Xianle took a step back and ignored the little girl behind her, "My mother doesn't want to be a concubine!"

You know, I want to be a wife!

Originally, the six little girls were all adopted daughters and their identities were the same. But now that everyone knows that Chen Xianle's mother is about to enter the house, her identity becomes more subtle.

If she was an adopted daughter before, now she is just a dragster brought in. On the contrary, she is not as legitimate as those others.

The old lady didn't know what she told Chen Yuanlue, but mother and son parted ways on bad terms.

A few days later, Mr. Hu came in. The old lady took charge and set up several tables at home.

Mrs. Hu said she was twenty, but she looked no different from a young girl. She was wearing a pink dress and heavy makeup, and she still looked a bit charming. Especially when she looked at Chen Yuanlue's face, her cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

She is the niece of Chen Yuanlue's aunt, and the Hu family's business is doing well. If Chen Yuanlue hadn't already married, and Hu was the mistress of the Chen family, it would have been possible.

No matter how much Chen Yuanlue dislikes concubines, for the sake of his aunt, he must go to Hu's courtyard tonight.

However, as far as Chu Yunli knew, Chen Yuanlue left within a quarter of an hour, so there was definitely no consummation of the marriage.

The next morning, as soon as Chu Yunli got up, the little girls had not even come to say hello, when Mrs. Hu arrived.

Today, she wore simple makeup and looked a little haggard, so she was respectful enough, "Ma'am, have some tea."

Chu Yunli took the tea and drank it, then pulled her up and said, "No need to be polite."

Hu's eyes turned red, "Madam, did I come here by mistake? You and him... and Master Qinse are in harmony. He didn't agree to take concubines in the first place. It was the old lady who made the decision..." At this point, she choked up.

, "Actually, I should have known."

The reason why Chen Yuanlue didn't consummate the marriage with her was because he was afraid of disappointing his wife?

Chu Yunli laughed in his heart and said, "Let me tell you the truth about concubines. It was the master who wanted a daughter, so I asked my mother to take you in. I made the decision with you, and

There is a woman in the back alley. She will come in in a few days. When the time comes, you will have company and you won’t think too much about it.”

Mrs. Hu looked confused, "I heard that there is a younger sister who is coming in, but I don't know her identity. She lives in a back alley... Was it arranged by the madam?"

"Sister?" Chu Yunli smiled, "That's a sister, she's older than me."

Zhang's mother was Chen Yuanlue's wet nurse, and she was about the same age as the two.

Perhaps the old lady also knew that it would be embarrassing to admit such a person into the house, so she kept her mouth shut. People outside who wanted to inquire were vague and did not know Zhang's identity at all.

This was also the first time Mrs. Hu knew about it. She was stunned when she heard this, "At such an old age..." After she realized what she was doing, her eyes showed some joy.

Chu Yunli didn't need to guess what she was thinking, and said, "She is the master's childhood sweetheart. We grew up together, and our relationship is extraordinary. Otherwise, do you think you can enter the house as a concubine at the age of twenty-eight?"

These words were like a ladle of cold water poured on Mrs. Hu's face. Her face immediately turned pale, "So, the master refuses to consummate the marriage..."

Chu Yunli gave her a meaningful look and said, "Go back and rest. I like my daughter best, so you have to live up to your expectations."

When Chen Yuanlue came back in the afternoon, he bumped into Mr. Hu who was already waiting at the door.
