At most, there are good concubines and bad concubines, both of whom serve their masters and men.
At present, there is no rule about taking concubines as wives. Even if the queen is gone, she will not choose from among the concubines, but will choose another woman with good etiquette and rules to enter the palace as the queen.
This was probably the reason why those people insisted on killing Lin Liqiu. Just giving the girl as a concubine could not really win over Xia Junkai.
"No!" Chu Yunli looked at the lady next to Mrs. Li, whose eyes were shining and full of wealth, and said, "As long as I am here, no concubine will come into my house."
She looked at the lady and saw that Mrs. Li was asking for her. As a result, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
The lady forced a smile and said, "I often hear my husband mention Mr. Xia and praise him for being young and promising. I didn't expect Mrs. Xia to be such a straightforward person."
This woman is covered in pearls and emeralds. She is rich, but she is not as polite as an official's wife should be, and her face is too flattering. If you guessed correctly, she is the wife of a wealthy businessman. The reason why Mrs. Li brought her here is
Probably got some benefits.
Li Zhao's family has a large family, and it's not easy to live in Beijing University. With that little salary, he doesn't know if he can feed his family by eating vegetarian food every day, let alone buy clothes and jewelry. If he wants to have enough money, he has to find some external money.
The atmosphere was awkward, and soon Mrs. Li said goodbye. Chu Yunli didn't stay long, and didn't even send them out.
In the afternoon of the next day, Mrs. Li came to the door again. This time she came to apologize, "I shouldn't have brought Mrs. Chen to the door, but I feel that my adults and Mr. Xia are from similar backgrounds, and their salary... is really not enough. This Chen
Madam, the second wife of the Chen family, a wealthy businessman in Chun City. She has two daughters, both of whom can be married off with three hundred taels... I have already chosen the eldest daughter for our family, and I will bring her to the house. It is also a good intention. Also, the two of us
We are from the same hometown, so the relationship becomes closer."
She does plan!
Li Zhao is now in the Hanlin Academy, and Xia Junkai has already arrived at the imperial court. The two have different starting points. It is beneficial to have a good relationship with the Xia family no matter how you look at it. Chu Yunli was speechless and asked, "How much benefit has she given you?"
Mrs. Li's face stiffened, "No... not much, I really mean well."
He said goodbye quickly and almost ran away.
After dinner, Chu Yunli talked about the matter, "I refused for you yesterday. Do you want to take a concubine?"
Xia Junkai just learned about his wife's tragic death a few days ago, so how could he have such thoughts? He said directly, "No, if someone mentions it in the future, will you reject it for me?"
Chu Yunli agreed.
Xia Junkai looked at her thoughtfully.
Chu Yunli felt his gaze and asked doubtfully, "Is something wrong?"
He was a little uncomfortable, "Ahem...I'm a little curious, who are you?"
Chu Yunli was making tea and was a little surprised that he would ask this. Her heart moved and she tried to tell him the truth. However, when she opened her mouth, she realized that she could not make a sound.
Still can’t tell anyone!
She was not disappointed either. It was just a test, and she said with a smile, "I am Li Qiu... What do you think?"
Seeing the woman opposite making tea neatly, with skillful techniques and a sense of beauty. His wife didn't know how to do this. Xia Junkai hesitated and asked, "Vixen?"
In distant memory, vixen is not a good thing to say. Chu Yunli put down the tea cup with a black line, "You are the vixen, your whole family is vixen! You have read too many stories!"
Xia Junkai: "..." It seems not.
"Ahem... I'm sorry if I offended you." He picked up the teacup and handed it to you with both hands, "I'll use tea instead of wine to apologize to you."
Chu Yunli reached out to take it, "I wasn't angry at all." Seeing him sitting back, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking again, "I won't do anything to people who haven't hurt me."
In other words, she will not let go of anyone who has hurt her. This can also be understood as: she will not let go of anyone who has hurt Li Qiu.
Xia Junkai was a smart man, so he stood up and refilled her tea, "Thank you, madam."
Chu Yunli shook his head, "No need to thank me, just don't stop me from attacking the Yin family. That aunt of yours is a cruel person."
After saying this, Xia Junkai became depressed. He didn't know whether he thought of his wife's tragic death again, or whether the Yin family had broken his heart.
However, today he can face the fact that his wife has changed. It seems that he has let go.
After a long while, Xia Junkai said, "I have already written a letter to forgive the Yin family and let my cousin come to the capital."
Chu Yunli was surprised, "You can't really forgive me, right?"
"Of course not!" Xia Junkai said solemnly, "Only Yin Changle knows the mastermind behind the scenes. The last time I beat him up, he didn't even tell me. There was no evidence and I couldn't torture him, so I had to ask him to come to the capital...
...As long as I stand firm in front of the emperor, the people behind the scenes will not give up. When they take action again, they will find evidence."
The weather has gotten colder, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Xia Qingqing has grown much taller, and the younger one can barely sit on the pillow.
Just a year ago, Yin Changle arrived.
He didn't come empty-handed, he also brought a lot of goods and traveled for more than a month before arriving.
There was only one room in the house that had been set aside for him. After Yin Changle moved in, his two followers could only live with Xia Junkai's followers.
It was in the afternoon when he arrived, and Chu Yunli and the two children were the only ones left at home. They invited him in, but Chu Yunli only let Sister Xi take him in without saying a word to him.
After Xia Junkai came back, they had dinner together, and Chu Yunli ignored him.
Yin Changle smiled bitterly, "Brother and sister, are you blaming me?"
Chu Yunli put down the bowl with a bang, "Blame you? I still hate you! You kicked me out even though I was about to give birth. Such a sinister idea was actually yours. I let you in because of the child."
For dad's sake, you can't expect me to treat you well in the next life. You've come all the way here, and I'll take you in for one night. Get out of here tomorrow morning!"
"You!" Yin Changle was a little angry and looked at Xia Junkai, "Cousin, that thing was my fault, but the fifty taels of silver that my uncle gave her was given by my mother. My mother also has a place to settle down. She asked for it herself.
Escape. Besides, isn't she okay?"
Mentioning this, Xia Junkai thought of the carriage that the Yin family was looking for, which led to his wife's tragic death. He endured it for a moment and snorted coldly, "Don't talk about her, I want to beat you! Don't mention the past things again, otherwise, don't blame me.
You're welcome."
He then advised Chu Yunli on the opposite side, "In the beginning of autumn, this person is a guest. He is my cousin, and the blood relationship cannot be erased. Don't be so stiff."
Chu Yunli reluctantly snorted, "It's best not to have any contact with such relatives!"
Yin Changle's face was full of displeasure, but he could only endure it.
Early the next morning, he angrily moved out of the official office and went to stay in an inn.
The Yin family is a merchant, not a very wealthy family, and they don't have a lot of money to stay in an inn in the capital. They are probably really angry.
Someone was found here to keep an eye on him. On the third day, the person came back to report that a man who looked like a housekeeper had gone to the inn, and Yin Changle personally followed him upstairs.
There are many dignitaries in the capital, and many families have butlers. Xia Junkai has just arrived and doesn't know many people. But he already had suspicions last time, and he paid special attention to everyone in the household of the Minister of Household Affairs and the important people around his master.
people.
The man who went to find Yin Changle turned out to be Sun Fu's errand boy.
At this point, the inside story has been found out. Sun Fu must have had an idea, and then instigated the Yin family to kill people.
However, as the Yin family said, even though Yin Changle changed letters last time and the Xia family drove Lin Liqiu out, nothing happened to her and the child was fine. Even if they were found out, the most they could do was to convict Yin Changle and get a few sentences.
Year.
It was easier for Sun Fu to get away with it. Not to mention that Lin Liqiu was fine now. Even if something happened like in his previous life, and Xia Junkai's wife and children died tragically, the only one who would be pushed out would definitely be his entourage.
When he mentioned this to Chu Yunli, Xia Junkai was filled with a sense of solemnity, "He may take action in the next two days. By then, we should be able to find evidence. The Yin family will be easy to handle. We have found evidence about Sun Fu."
, probably he can also get away with it.”
Chu Yunli held up his chin and said leisurely, "Sun Fu is so good at sneaking around. I don't believe that he has been an official for more than ten years and is innocent. He can get away with it here, but if he colluded with officials and businessmen, and connected up and down, he might still be with the prince.
He colluded to spy on the emperor with the intention of treason... I don't believe that he is a minister of household affairs, and he only wants to know the emperor's attitude towards him when he asks you to be his son-in-law."
Only the prince would need a person walking in front of the emperor to inform them of the emperor's actions and thoughts.
Xia Junkai was stunned for a moment, suddenly enlightened, and looked at Chu Yunli with extremely complicated eyes. In this way, he became even more dissimilar to her.
He didn't have time to feel sad. If that were the case, his enemy would be of such high status that he would have to endure it.
The night outside was getting deeper and deeper. Xia Junkai stood up and prepared to go back to his room. "Thank you. If you need anything, you can tell me. If it doesn't go against my heart, I will try my best to help you."
His true intention?
It’s not up to him to decide what his true heart is. He is indeed a smart man!
Chu Yunli waved her hand, "If I have money, I would like to open a medical clinic to help the poor."
Xia Junkai: "...I will work hard to make money."
Seeing her say that, he was quietly relieved. At least, she didn't mean to do anything bad.
Another day later, Yin Changle came to the door again. This time he brought many things and claimed that he was here to apologize.
Chu Yunli stood at the door, "Our family doesn't need your apology!"
Even if you want him to come in, you have to make things difficult.
