Chapter 55 Being a Concubine
The conversation that night naturally broke up.

When Li Xun left without any hesitation, Mrs. Xu sat alone in the hall without moving for a while.

Not long after, the old woman who was following her looked so hard that she walked away that she dared to come in and reply, and said, "I followed her to the little lady's room to have a look—the robe on her outside does look a bit like it, but it's just too late. After a long time, and..."

Mrs. Xu sighed, and said: "There is no need to probe anymore, then Li Er has already recognized it."

The woman's face suddenly changed, and she said: "At that time, my wife wanted me to help me to mend it, but the master stopped me like that, so I just didn't call it a touch, saying that the second head of the family was protecting me like something, but now... I see that woman Look, how can you make people lose their souls, and even wear robes on their bodies?"

Mrs. Xu was silent for a moment, and couldn't hold it any longer, but she said angrily: "You ask me, who else will I ask!"

The woman was scolded, but instead said: "From my point of view, the old lady doesn't need to worry too much. I took a closer look and found that the young lady was so ugly that people couldn't look straight at it. Although I don't know the two Why do you take care of the head of the family, but the men in the world come from different paths, get along with each other for a long time, and face each other all the time, even a beautiful woman will get tired of it, let alone such a face..."

Mrs. Xu glanced at her coldly, and said: "Serve people with color, and love to relax when color fades. Li Er didn't care about her appearance when she first met her. There must be something outstanding about her. You and I measure it by appearance, and there is another one." What's the use?"

He also said: "I value Li Er because I like him for his kindness and love, and I want to marry Wan Niang to him, and I also hope that the two will have a long-term relationship. Men can be greedy for beauty, and they can like the new, but they can't get tired of the old--seriously." As you said, what use would it be for me to have him?"

The old woman then asked: "Then...tonight Madam and the second head have been talking for a long time, what did you say at the end?"

Mrs. Xu didn't speak for a long time, she just picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of cold tea.

When the tea enters the mouth, there is no fragrance, only a bitter aftertaste.

She looked at the sinking tea leaves in the cup for a long time, then put down the teacup and asked: "Although Li Er disagrees with the marriage, he also said that he had only known that woman for a few days and had no personal relationship, so you followed all the way just now. What can you see? How is her temperament?"

The mother-in-law froze for a moment, with a strange expression on her face.

"What?" Mrs. Xu asked.

The old woman asked: "Ma'am, did you hear me right, did the second head of the family really say that we only knew each other for a few days?"

Mrs. Xu said angrily: "I am old, not deaf!"

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "I'm not saying Madam is deaf, it's just that looking at it along the way, those two talk and act with each other, it's not like they just met for a few days, but like..."

"like what?"

"Like..." The woman hesitated for a while, then said, "It looks like she's very much in love with each other..."

She saw Li Xun holding a lantern to Zhao Mingzhi's face at home, and looked straight at the black wart as if nothing had happened, then went to talk about the movement of her bag in her arms, and then described a few tacit understandings between the two of them.

Originally, she only wanted to use it as proof, but she snapped her fingers, and the details of the journey were too short to be counted in one slap.

At the end of the count, I also became a little suspicious, as if I had done something evil to beat a mandarin duck, and hurriedly added: "The second head of the family has been protecting me all the way, and I dare not get too close. With my old eyes, maybe It's hard to tell..."

This time Mrs. Xu was rarely annoyed.

She thought for a moment and asked, "From your point of view, what is the woman's family background?"

The mother-in-law said: "The second head of the house is holding her luggage, and no one else can get close to her. Later, when she entered the room, she didn't ask anyone to wait on her, so it's hard to say. If you look at her current attire, it's very common, but seeing her advance and retreat. , not like being from a small family..."

Saying a pass is equivalent to not saying!

Mrs. Xu glared at her, but felt a little helpless.

Her father was a butcher and made a fortune. She didn't have her first girl until she was ten years old, and she hired her husband to read and study. She wasn't a big family at first. In the past 20 years, she finally gained some knowledge. How much eyesight you have.

Although after recruiting a relative, the old man's family business is not what it used to be, and he can recruit more capable people into the mansion one after another, but when it comes to important family matters, he can only consult with people who know the basics.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Do you think that woman is willing to be a concubine?"

The woman let out an "ah" and blurted out: "To be a concubine? You just got married, and you want to call me a concubine. Wouldn't it be wronged for our girl?"

Mrs. Xu sighed: "Miss Wan can't live up to herself and can't tie Li Er, so what can I do? He is now focusing on the woman surnamed Zhao. If I try to obstruct it, I'm afraid there will be a rift, so I might as well press it. His mind is to bring people into the mansion."

He said again: "Although I only met her once, I can see that it is not easy to handle. While I can still move, I will control her, and when Miss Wan has children by her side, the blood of the Xu family will become human." , Only with my old bones can I kick my legs with confidence."

The old woman sighed: "Madam's kind mother's heart..."

He said again: "If the Zhao family daughter's family business is not small, but it is a bit difficult..."

Mrs. Xu waved her hand and said: "No way, she is really a big family, how could she be asked to walk alone? It seems that she is going to visit relatives in Jingzhao Mansion. An escort agency is helping to do some management, just don't let her go to Junzhou, lest she get help and cheer up."

Then said: "It's best not to give birth. If it does happen, it has to be a daughter. It's a good thing for her, otherwise..."

Seeing the ruthless face of Mrs. Xu on the opposite side, the woman appeared to be fine, but she muttered in her heart: Normally, even the bodyguards in Junzhou City can't do anything at home, and she wants to move the bodyguard bureau of Jingzhao Mansion. It's too beautiful, isn't it something that the old kidney who has to wake up to urinate two or three times this night can do it?

She hesitated for a moment, after all, she sold her body to this family, and she lost all her money, and all her successes. Finally, she couldn't help but said: "I have thought about a sentence for a long time-why must my wife choose the second head of the family as her son-in-law? The second head of the family is naturally very good." , but right now he is neither willing, nor does it seem to me that the girl is very willing..."

She paused for a moment, and then said: "It's Uncle Fu, who is always on the saddle. He is very filial to his wife, and he is extremely caring towards the girl. He is also his wife's nephew, and he knows everything..."

Mrs. Xu frowned and said: "Fu Da is frivolous, mediocre and incompetent, no one can match Li Erwanyi, not to mention establishing a career, even if he is successful, he is powerless. can have him."

He said again: "I know his plan, and it's fine on weekdays, but now that Li Er is here, you can pass me a word and tell him not to think too much. The marriage of Wan Niang has been decided, and he just abides by the cousin's rules. .”
