Chu Yunli got up early in the morning and was washing up when she heard hurried footsteps outside.
The maid next to her, Xi'er, glanced at her and said, "It's Mrs. Huan."
Madam Huan came in as a wet nurse, and then stayed there for many years. Her man was not a servant in the palace. After Chu Yunli came, she privately ordered her man to keep an eye on You Shuanghan.
"Go and have a look."
Xi'er ran for a while and came back half a quarter of an hour later, her face expressionless.
Chu Yunli saw her expression in the mirror and asked funnyly: "What happened?"
Xi'er looked around and leaned close to her ear.
This movement was sudden. Xi'er was her personal maid, so there was no need for her to be like this. Chu Yunli resisted and did not move away.
"Then You Shuanghan... climbed into Mr. Luo's bed last night!"
Chu Yunli asked in surprise: "What?"
Xi'er nodded: "That's what you heard. She asked about Mr. Luo a few days ago, and the servants thought she was looking for a chance to have a relationship with Mr. Luo... They never expected it."
Chu Yunli considered herself well-informed, but she was also shocked by You Shuanghan's actions. She pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you being plotted by someone?"
"No." Xi'er shook her head: "Ms. Huan said that it was another female clerk who helped Mr. Luo to rest, but she drove her away. It was indeed Mr. Luo's house that she entered at first, but somehow later
I changed my mind..."
Chu Yunli thought for a moment and somewhat understood what You Shuanghan was thinking.
Otherwise, Mrs. Luo went too far and made people anxious.
*
After Mr. Luo woke up, he noticed the warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, and couldn't help but rub his painful forehead.
The new wine has too much stamina, and you shouldn't drink too much. The person who puts it in your arms...at worst, give him some money to spend. He is already at this age, and he doesn't want to find some fresh girls to go back to, not to mention affecting the relationship between the couple.
It also seems that he is too lustful.
He pushed the person in his arms: "Get up and wait for the master to get up."
He often goes out to socialize, and occasionally there are times when his entourage doesn't pay attention and is taken advantage of by outside women. Usually the ones who take the initiative to accompany guests overnight are some flower girls or women who want to get attached to them. Most of them are quite obedient and can't get into the house.
Once you have taken the money, stop. Those who continue to struggle are usually greedy and dislike the fact that the money given is not enough.
"ah!"
But he heard the woman in his arms scream, as if she was overly frightened.
Mr. Luo only felt his head hurt more. He didn't know anything yesterday. The woman had already spent the night here, so she must have taken the initiative.
Since they have already taken the initiative to climb into bed, why are they surprised?
To put it bluntly, this woman had great ambitions, and she might have come to be his concubine. He frowned: "Shut up!"
"Ah...why is it you?" This question was sharper than the previous one.
Mr. Luo couldn't bear it anymore and turned around to look. He wanted to say how much money he wanted and stop pretending. But when he saw the woman hugging the quilt clearly, he was completely stunned.
He blurted out and asked: "Why is it you?"
You Shuanghan buried his head in the quilt, his whole body trembling: "I can't live anymore!"
Mr. Luo pinched the bridge of his nose and felt a headache. No matter how much he slept with women, he never thought of sleeping with his son's sweetheart!
What's all this about?
"Why are you here?"
You Shuanghan cried and shook his head: "I don't know. I was ready to go home after work last night, but I was knocked unconscious as soon as I walked down the stairs. When I woke up, it was already like this."
Mr. Luo narrowed his eyes: "Are you being plotted against?"
"It's obvious!" You Shuanghan looked collapsed: "If not, could it be that I took the initiative to talk to you... to you... Nanhua clearly has me in his heart, why should I look for you?"
This makes sense.
Any normal woman who can be pursued by a young man with a good family background will never find a man as old as her father to serve her.
Master Luo looked serious: "Here comes someone!"
"No!" You Shuanghan screamed again: "Don't ask people to come in. If someone finds out, I will lose my life!"
She quickly stood up and put on her clothes while enduring her shyness.
Mr. Luo accidentally noticed the various marks on her snow-white skin. He opened the quilt and took a look. He found that he was also naked. The last trace of luck in his heart was gone. He had slept with many women in his life.
The appearance... is indeed like that of a human being.
The door was pushed open, and You Shuanghan hid behind the screen to tidy up his clothes.
The person who came in was Mr. Luo's entourage. Last night, they both drank the sweet wine for the first time and couldn't help but indulge in a few drinks. There have been precedents for this kind of thing before, and nothing serious happened.
"Where did you die?" Mr. Luo couldn't help but get angry when he thought about his son's reaction when he found out about this.
Sui never expected that he would be angry and looked confused. This situation had happened before. If the girl he met was good, he would reward them both.
"I drank too much. I just woke up. Please forgive me." The attendant glanced at the slender figure behind the screen and murmured in his heart, "It looks pretty good. Why is the master so angry?"
The two of them were kneeling to plead guilty. Luo Nanhua came in, rubbing his forehead. Seeing his disheveled father, he asked, "Who was screaming just now?"
The voice sounded familiar to him, but after a hangover, his mind was so confused that he couldn't remember who it was.
Seeing his son, Mr. Luo felt guilty and felt that he had been wronged. If he had any sense, he would never touch You Shuanghan.
"Nan Hua, did you drink too much last night?" Mr. Luo asked, "Did you see You Shuanghan later?"
Luo Nanhua shook his head.
"How could dad ask this, what happened to her?"
Just at this moment, there was a bang from behind the screen, and Luo Nanhua looked over: "Who is inside?"
Mr. Luo didn't know what to say.
The people inside did not respond, but the sound of a woman's sobs was heard. Luo Nanhua frowned when he heard it: "Dad, our family is not short of money. This kind of thing is based on your own will. It's not good to force others.
Once I encountered a violent one, I lost my life..."
"I'm not alive anymore!" The woman's cry suddenly came out, followed by her slender figure hitting the wall.
Luo Nanhua felt that the female voice was very familiar from the beginning. Now when he heard the person inside talking, he finally recognized who it was. For a moment, his mind buzzed, and he stared blankly at the slender figure hitting the wall and slowing down.
slide.
"Shuanghan?"
Mr. Luo was also afraid of causing trouble, so he rushed in with two followers to save people.
Luo Nanhua's legs turned into wood and he didn't know how to walk. It took him a long time to move to the screen. At a glance, he saw the woman who was being helped to the bed after her head was injured.
"How will you be here?"
You Shuanghan cried bitterly: "I also want to ask... just let me die."
Her collar has not been arranged yet, and the snow-white skin underneath can be vaguely seen. There are still some red marks on the skin, but any sensible man will know what those marks are.
Luo Nanhua felt his eyes sting, took a step back, and fell to the ground.
You Shuanghan was crying by himself. Mr. Luo saw his son's shocked appearance. He even shouted several times but no one responded. The woman next to him kept whining, making his head hurt. He yelled: "Shut up!
What’s there to cry about?”
He still wanted to cry.
"If I don't cry, I'll die!" You Shuanghan said, and ran out of bed: "None of you want to save me."
She ran towards the door. When passing Luo Nanhua, she tripped and fell to the ground. She couldn't get up for a long time. She simply lay on the ground and cried loudly, beating the ground with her hands: "Even you bullied me...
Poor people don’t deserve to live... they deserve to be bullied, right..."
After crying for a long time, she got up and walked out again, but her hand was grabbed by someone. She lowered her eyes and saw the lost Luo Nanhua.
"Nan Hua, let go!"
Luo Nanhua's eyes were blood red and he looked up at her: "Shuanghan, did you..." last night?
"It would be nice if it wasn't." You Shuanghan said that later, he burst into tears and shouted that he was no longer alive.
Luo Nanhua froze on the spot and looked at his father again: "Dad, what are you going to do?"
Mr. Luo said angrily: "I haven't taken care of anyone in the house for many years. I plan to give her a sum of money. You Shuanghan, don't cry. Just ask for any amount you want."
"In your eyes, there is nothing that money can't buy, right?" You Shuanghan cried and asked, "You can give as much as human life is worth. I have lived for more than ten years, and I haven't even gotten a good name.
It doesn’t matter who we spend the night with, but it can’t be you. After today, I will definitely not be alive anymore.”
After saying that, he got up and walked out.
"You want a status?" Mr. Luo seemed to have heard a big joke.
Luo Nanhua lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Just when You Shuanghan was crying and making trouble to go out, he finally said: "Dad, please accept her!"
As soon as this sound came out, the room fell silent.
Mr. Luo felt like he was struck by lightning again: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
You Shuanghan shook his head: "I don't want it!"
"Shuanghan, it's impossible between the two of us." Luo Nanhua's face was full of pain: "When you enter the house, I can take good care of you."
Her father is already forty years old and will definitely leave first. And You Shuanghan is about the same age as him... Rather than leaving her to others to take care of, it would be better for him to do it himself.
Mr. Luo sneered: "I don't want it!"
"Dad, she will die." Luo Nanhua collapsed and shouted: "Son, can't you please?"
As he spoke, he knelt down and began to kowtow.
The more he drank, the harder he drank, and his forehead quickly became red and swollen. Looking at his son like this, Mr. Luo felt complicated and unspeakable, but after all, he was in the wrong... Some things don't just have to be done after they have been agreed, so he put them off for a while.
.
"Okay, I promise you."
After hearing this, Luo Nanhua finally stopped kowtowing, but his whole body seemed to have been drained of energy. He didn't even have the strength to sit there. He lay soft on the ground like a pile of rotten meat. He looked at
The person at the door: "Shuanghan, if you dare to die, I won't live either."
You Shuanghan cried and shook his head.
Luo Nanhua could probably guess what his father was thinking, and said: "The rules for taking concubines can be big or small. Today you will find a sedan chair to take Shuanghan into the house."
Mr. Luo was dumbfounded. He had never thought about bringing this woman into the house, and he only agreed to let it go after his son got over it. He subconsciously shied away: "You have to tell your mother about concubinage.
"
Luo Nanhua shook his head: "No need."
Hearing this, Mr. Luo glared at his son angrily: "That's your mother, the mistress of the Luo family. Is it okay for me to not tell her that I took a concubine?"
Luo Nanhua asked back: "Will you touch her after you bring her in?"
"Of course not!" It's just that Mr. Luo's intestines were ruined last night. How could he still be intimate with You Shuanghan?
"That's alright." Luo Nanhua stood up slowly while holding on to the screen: "This is just a decoration, and it's not really a concubine. Even if mother knows, her anger will only be temporary."
This makes sense.
Master Luo suddenly understood his son's thoughts. No matter how many men You Shuanghan had been with, she would definitely marry again at such a young age. Even if she didn't want to, she would be forced to marry by her family. Her son had a deep love for her.
I can't see her being intimate with other men... If she brings him into the house, no man will be able to get close to her, and no one will force her to get married.
However, the lady would not agree.
If not, the person would have been brought into the house before, and so many things would not have happened later.
"Your mother will be angry!"
Luo Nanhua lowered his head: "My son is unfilial. Dad, my son has grown up and I only ask you for this one thing. From now on, my son will do whatever you say." He smiled bitterly: "If Shuanghan is gone because of this, my son... will be shameless.
Just stay alive."
Looking at such a son, Mr. Luo frowned. In the past few years, his son had done nothing for this woman. If she really died, his son would still be a walking corpse even if he was alive.
"That's all, it's all up to you." He looked at the woman who had been crying at the door: "The sedan chair will come to the door later, you go back and prepare."
You Shuanghan screamed: "I don't want it."
"It's not up to you." Mr. Luo had a strong attitude: "If you dare to seek death and destroy my son, the You family will never live in peace. Even if you die and are buried, I will have you dug out and whipped. If you don't believe me,
Just try it!”
You Shuanghan seemed to be frightened by him, his face turned pale and he took a step back.
*
Mrs. Luo has been in a good mood recently. Her son has not gone to see You Shuanghan again, and he is not as often talking about people as before. He does business with men every day, and he finally looks like him. The most important thing is that the He family girl has clearly seen the so-called
The true face of her lover is that she has completely severed ties with him and is preparing to get married wholeheartedly.
When the daughter-in-law comes in and has a child, the relationship between the young couple will definitely get better and better.
When she got up early in the morning, Mrs. Luo spent most of the day in front of the dressing table, and finally selected a set of jewelry that she liked. Today, she and Mrs. He made an appointment to go to the embroidery house to order a wedding dress.
While she was looking in the mirror, the mother-in-law beside her hurriedly walked in. Mrs. Luo was in a good mood and didn't want to care about it.
"Why are you so panicked?"
After walking around the screen, the mother-in-law became more polite. When she heard her question, she didn't answer for a while.
Mrs. Luo was not a patient person. She turned around and glared: "Since you have nothing to do, why are you running?"
The mother-in-law stopped talking, lowered her head and said: "I just learned that the master has asked someone to prepare a pink sedan chair to carry someone."
Mrs. Luo looked surprised: "When did it happen?"
The couple have not been close to each other over the years, but they still treat each other as if they were guests. For such a big thing as taking a concubine, you should have told her in advance and got her approval before discussing the matter. Besides, the last time I took a concubine was more than ten years ago, sir.
After getting drunk one time, he made a promise to her that he would never look up to anyone again in his life.
How can this just change?
Mrs. Luo thought this was very strange. The master didn't come back last night, but he came back the night before. He was in a good mood and told her that there was a drinking party at night and asked her to go to bed early. Such an attitude didn't look like him at all.
I met a beautiful woman who wanted to open the door even if she didn't tell her!
"what kind of person?"
The mother-in-law shook her head: "I will report to you as soon as I get the news. I have sent someone to inquire about the candidates. It shouldn't take long..."
Mrs. Luo's good mood disappeared, and she swept everything off the table with a slap: "It won't be long before everyone comes in. I can see it with my own eyes, so why do you need to inquire?"
The mother-in-law was startled and hurriedly knelt down.
Mrs. Luo was still angry: "Send a maid to ask the master directly! If you want to carry someone, you must agree to it. Otherwise, even if the person enters the house, they will have to go back the same way!"
The mother-in-law turned her head, and immediately a maid walked away.
But someone came rushing over: "Madam, the master's concubine has come in through the side door."
Mrs. Luo: "..." Do you want it to be so fast?
She finally saw that the master would not give her a chance to refuse and had to let people in.
For a moment, she felt a little sad.
If the master is so determined, she can't stop him at all. But he can definitely discuss it with her. If he insists, she won't be able to defeat him at all. What makes her sad is not that the master has a new love... After all, the master has never been around her these years.
She had calmed down, and she felt sad because of this, fearing that she would have died of excessive grief. What made her sad was that the man didn't even have the intention to coax her.
He doesn't even have basic respect for her and doesn't treat her as his wife at all.
"Stop me." Mrs. Luo held the table with her hands so hard that her fingertips turned white. She said lightly and seriously: "The rules cannot be broken. If the master wants the sedan to come in, he must come to see me first.
"
The person at the door looked embarrassed: "But... the person following the sedan chair is the young master. Otherwise, the concierge would not dare to let in the random people."
Mrs. Luo was surprised at first: "Nan Hua? Why is he doing this?"
Mother and son broke up on bad terms many times when it came to dealing with You Shuanghan, but her son always respected her. She was in trouble with her son when it came to marrying his daughter-in-law, and she always stood by her son the rest of the time.
Fight for him in various ways.
This is not right! Mrs. Luo couldn't sit still and hurried out the door. Then she learned that her son was escorting the sedan to the garden.
The garden was newly built by her. The house inside had just been renovated, and the yard had been planted with valuable flowers and plants... This was done together with the new house where her son was about to get married. The yard of the garden faces the sun, and the location
Yes, it was originally prepared for future grandchildren.
A concubine cannot fit in any side courtyard, but she is worthy of living in a garden?
Mrs. Luo hurriedly and slowly arrived outside the garden, and saw the sedan chair leaving from a distance. After all, it was still a step too late.
When she entered the door, she saw a slender woman in a pink shirt, and her mind suddenly felt as if someone had hit her with a sap. In a daze, she held the hand of the woman next to her and asked: "Today is the time, sir."
Taking concubines, right?”
The mother-in-law also saw clearly the newly entered aunt, and her expression was hard to describe: "This is the news I got. Now it seems that the message may have been wrong." It is the young master who has taken a concubine.
Mrs. Luo felt that this matter must be clarified. She shouted sternly: "Nanhua, come here!"
Luo Nanhua had already noticed his mother appearing at the door, but he didn't dare to face her. When he heard his mother's call, he knew he could no longer hide. He moved one step at a time: "Mother."
"Why did this woman appear here? Whose concubine is she? Who promised to let her in?" Mrs. Luo became more and more angry as she spoke, and her voice broke: "As the mistress of Luo Mansion, I didn't nod, who
Did you carry her in?"
She turned her head and ordered: "Someone, throw this woman out of here."
You Shuanghan was about to enter the house. After hearing this, he walked to the door and said, "I've met my sister."
Hearing this address, Mrs. Luo went crazy: "Shut up!"
You Shuanghan stood politely, looking pitiful: "Sister, don't be angry, I was forced to come in by the master... I really would rather die than come."
"You still behave well when you get a bargain, so stop pretending here." Mrs. Luo was furious.
You Shuanghan's words had already revealed that she was the master's concubine. Mrs. Luo felt like she was in a dream for a moment. There are so many women in the world, how could the master accept his son's sweetheart?
What's more, outsiders didn't know it, but she knew that this woman had clearly consummated her son's relationship before... If the father and son slept with the same woman, would Luo Mansion's reputation still be heard after word spread?
You Shuanghan lowered his head: "If sister can't tolerate it, you can send someone to give me a piece of white silk, or give me a pair of medicine. But please, madam, for the sake of my good will, don't embarrass the You family."
She said it sincerely, and Luo Nanhua was heartbroken beyond measure.
"Mom, she doesn't want to either."
Mrs. Luo couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her son hard on the face: "Are you stupid?"
Luo Nanhua covered his face: "Mom, the person has already entered the door anyway. She is just my father's concubine in name. The marriage between the two will not be consummated. Don't be too angry. She is an honest person and will not look for trouble... Please mother
Have pity on her and give her a way to survive."
"Bastard, can you give your mother a way to survive?" Mrs. Luo was so angry that tears rolled down her face.
Luo Nanhua looked puzzled: "Why is this so?"
You Shuanghan saw it in her eyes and felt extremely happy in her heart. She had been too honest before, so she was bullied by this old woman again and again. She said again: "Sister, what the young master said is true, I am just a decoration, no
Will fight for favor."
Mrs. Luo couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "But when I look at you, it hurts my eyes, and I feel upset when I look at you! Aren't you going to die? Hurry up!"
You Shuanghan nodded: "I'll go right away!"
Luo Nanhua grabbed her: "Don't go!"
The two of them were like this, Mrs. Luo really felt her eyes hurt.
