Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 311 The Nanqu Opera Troupe is nothing more than this

The smile on Minglan's face faltered when she heard this. She couldn't accept such words at all.

She is indeed a concubine. Although she is recorded in the name of Madam Wang, she can be regarded as a legitimate daughter.

But this kind of thing cannot be said on the table.

What's more, Aunt Kang is here. If she says yes, Aunt Kang will definitely expose her.

What's more, she didn't want to say that. If she said that she was a legitimate daughter, where would she put her biological mother?
After a moment of silence, Minglan said calmly: "My mother-in-law is right. I am indeed a concubine. Therefore, I don't know the rules very well. If I offend my mother-in-law, she must be considerate and considerate."

Xiao Qin's face froze. She originally wanted to mock Minglan, but she didn't expect Minglan to attack her instead.

Whether Minglan is a concubine or a concubine, it doesn't matter anymore since she has already entered the house.

The most he can do is mock her with this taunt.

On the contrary, it will be Minglan who contradicts her in the future. Give her the impression that I am a concubine, do not understand the rules, and she is the one who is passive.

"hehe."

Xiao Qin smiled and did not pick up the topic. Instead, she looked at Aunt Kang and said, "Sister Kang, I have an unkind request. I wonder if you can agree to it."

"Sister, what are you talking about? We are sisters, and now we are even more relatives. If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." Aunt Kang said with a smile.

"I like your daughter very much. I want to ask her to be my concubine. What do you think?" Xiao Qin said.

Minglan sneered in her heart when she heard this and watched the two people performing here with cold eyes.

Everyone says that Nanqu Opera Troupe is the best opera troupe in Bianjing. Now, at first glance, Xiao Qin's performances are much more exciting than those of Nanqu Opera Troupe.

"Oh, it's an honor for my daughter to serve Governor Gu." Aunt Kang said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, don't worry. Although she is a concubine in name, my Erlang will love others. She and Minglan are cousins, so she will definitely not be wronged." Xiao Qin said with a smile.

"Of course I believe what my sister said." Aunt Kang smiled and said, "Zhao'er, I won't serve tea to your cousin yet."

Hearing this, Kang Zhaoer picked up the tea on the table, lowered his head and walked towards Minglan. When he came closer, he whispered: "Please drink tea, cousin."

Minglan glanced at her, looked at Xiao Qin, and said calmly: "Mother-in-law, you sent that Fengxian girl here a few days ago. The officials got angry with me because of this. I dare not accept this under any circumstances. "

"Minglan, look at what you said, as if I have been stuffing people into your room." Xiao Qin said displeased.

"Mother-in-law, on the second day of your wedding, you called a few people who said they were married to officials and asked them to serve me tea. A few days ago, you sent one over, and now you are looking for another one. There is no such thing in Manbianjing. What kind of mother-in-law would do this? If your daughter-in-law does something wrong and you don't like it, just ask the official to divorce me," Minglan said.

"I know it's wrong to do this, and I apologize to you. But I can't help it. Erlang has the emperor's mandate, and now he doesn't even have an heir. What if there is an eventuality... How can I have the nerve to meet him in the future? Master?" Xiao Qin wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief in tears, as if she felt all kinds of grievances in her heart.

She naturally knew that Gu Tingye and Minglan had just gotten married, and putting people in their room would have a great impact on her reputation if word spread.

I have already prepared a set of words.

This excuse is a bit far-fetched, and I can barely make it out.

Xiao Qin has no choice but to do so. Now the clan government has reported that Gu Tingye is the heir to the title.

Unless Gu Tingye dies without any heirs, the title will still be inherited by Gu Tingye's heirs.

Xiao Qin hoped that Gu Tingye would have an accident on the battlefield, but the premise was that Gu Tingye could not have any heirs before then.

Now there is no sign of fighting in a short period of time. The two of them are inseparable, and they may be pregnant at any time.

Although Gu Tingye has changed a lot now, in Xiao Qin's view, Gu Tingye's romantic temperament has not changed.

As long as there are more people in Gu Tingye's room, Gu Tingye will definitely ignore Minglan.

As for whether the concubine would be pregnant with an heir, she was not worried.

Not to mention that the concubine is easy to deal with, even Minglan may not let the concubine's children be born.

Maybe Minglan would help her with the cooking, and she wouldn't even need to take action.

"I just thought that doing this would make you feel wronged, and don't worry about other concubines. The Kangsheng family is related, and your cousin will definitely treat you respectfully and will not affect your status. In this way, you can also Don't worry, that's why I spoke shamelessly." Xiao Qin said.

Ming Lan heard the words and said calmly: "Mother-in-law, I am not a jealous person. If the official wants to take a concubine, I will naturally not stop him. Mother-in-law wants to take a concubine for the official. As long as the official agrees, I will Still won’t stop me. But not the Kang family.”

"Sheng Minglan, what do you mean by this?" Aunt Kang stood up and looked at Minglan with an ugly face.

Minglan ignored Aunt Kang and continued: "I grew up with my grandmother. My grandmother said a few years ago that when Aunt Kang comes to visit, you don't need to go to her, and she won't see her if you go. If it weren't for the sake of my eldest sister, For the sake of my second brother, I won’t even let her in, let alone a girl from the Kang family.”

"Sheng Minglan, you think you are looking down on your poor relatives because you have climbed a high tree, right? You are a concubine. In order to marry into a high family, you took my sister's name and pretended to be a concubine. You are really very scheming." Kang Aunt scolded.

"Oh, sister, give me some face, don't be angry yet. I'll persuade her, and I'll definitely give you an explanation." Xiao Qin quickly advised.

"Don't act like a good person here. If you hadn't spoken, would I have been humiliated by her as a concubine? Now that I have agreed, I have no shame in taking this person back. You can figure it out on yourselves."

After Aunt Kang finished speaking, she turned around and left.

"Sister from the Kang family, sister from the Kang family..."

Xiao Qin shouted a few times, but when Aunt Kang ignored her, she turned to Minglan and said, "Look, you are all relatives. Can't you talk to me about something? I'll go and get him back first."

After saying that, he hurried away with the people.

Minglan looked at Kang Zhaoer who was standing there motionless and said, "Why don't you leave?"

Kang Zhaoer knelt down with a pop and begged: "Cousin, just accept me. I promise that I will not fight or rob, and I will listen to you in everything. As long as you let me stay, I will do whatever you want."

"Cousin Zhao'er!"

Before Minglan could say anything, Hua Lan walked out from behind the screen.

"Elder cousin?"

Although Aunt Kang is Hua Lan's biological aunt, Hua Lan has never been to Kang's house a few times.

However, Kang Zhaoer only saw Hualan from a distance once.

"Hurry up. I know that your aunt must have forced you to do this. I will tell her about it."

After Hua Lan finished speaking, she looked at Minglan apologetically and said, "Sixth sister, I have caused you trouble."

"Sister, this is not to blame...Sister, be careful!"

As Minglan was talking, he suddenly saw Kang Zhaoer kneeling on the ground, suddenly took out a dagger, exclaimed, and quickly stood up and pulled Hua Lan, for fear that Kang Zhaoer would be detrimental to Hua Lan.

But her worries were unnecessary. Kang Zhaoer put the dagger directly in front of his neck and cried: "If I don't leave, I will die here today even if I die."

Hua Lan was a little shocked. Hearing this, he said angrily: "Are you crazy? Do you really want to be someone's concubine?"

Kang Zhaoer burst into tears and looked miserable, saying: "If I don't do this, my mother and sister's lives will be lost. I have no choice. I beg my two cousins, just let me stay."

Hua Lan wanted to say something else, but Minglan held her back and said, "I know what Kang Wang's plan was." Having lost her temper, Minglan stopped calling her aunt and directly addressed her as Kang Wang.

"She has everyone here. As long as she spends one night, things will become unclear. If people die here, it will be even more troublesome." Minglan said coldly.

I have to say that Aunt Kang’s move was very cruel.

Kang Zhaoer was a member of an official family, so once she died in Orange Garden, both Gu Tingye and her would be in big trouble.

Even if she doesn't die, if she stays on this night, Aunt Kang will spread the word and her status as concubine will be confirmed.

"Then what should we do now?" Hua Lan asked anxiously.

Minglan pondered for a while and said, "Sister, I need your help now."

"How do you want me to help?" Hua Lan asked.

"There must be someone staring at the front and back doors of Orange Garden now. Kang Zhaoer dare not go out of this door. We can only let her go out pretending to be your maid." Minglan said.

"I won't leave!" Kang Zhaoer said excitedly after hearing this: "If I go out, my mother and sister will definitely not survive. For them, I can only die here."

After saying that, the dagger was directly placed on his neck, and a blood line appeared on his neck.

"Don't get excited yet, just listen to what I have to say!" Minglan said quickly upon seeing this.

"You and I are both concubines, and we both know how hard it is to be a concubine. Your mother is still alive today, but mine has been dead for seven or eight years. Before she died, my mother told me that even if she married an ordinary person, If your life is miserable, don't be someone else's concubine. Are you so willing to be someone else's concubine?"

"Woooo..."

Kang Zhaoer cried bitterly: "If possible, who would want to be a concubine? But the lives of my mother and sister are in her hands, what can I do?"

Her mother-in-law also told her something similar.

What's more, she was in the Kang family and had seen how Aunt Kang treated concubines, so she had a better understanding of this aspect.

Not every concubine is as lucky as Lin Xiaoniang to meet Sheng Hong.

Strictly speaking, concubines are similar to property. Su Shi once traded pregnant concubines for horses. You can imagine how low the status of concubines is.

Kang Zhaoer didn't want to be a concubine, but she had no choice.

"Do you think that if you agree, she will let your mother and sister go? Even if I let you in, your mother and sister will still be her tools to manipulate you. Do you think that if you die, she will let your mother go? With my sister? Then what will happen to the concubines of the Kang family, you know better than me." Minglan said.

Kang Zhaoer's tense body relaxed when he heard this, and his face turned ashen. Although he didn't put down the dagger, he moved it away from his neck.

Seeing this, Minglan kicked Kang Zhaoer's hand fiercely.

In pain, Kang Zhaoer let go of the dagger and dropped it to the ground.

When she came back to her senses and wanted to pick up the dagger, the maid next to her had already reacted and held her down tightly.

"let me go!"

Kang Zhaoer struggled violently, as if crazy.

If she was thrown out like this, Aunt Kang would definitely not let her mother and sister go, and even she would not end well.

Minglan picked up the dagger and shouted: "Listen to me!"

“I didn’t just say that to make you relax your vigilance and snatch the dagger away.

I just want to tell you that even if you do it, she will not let you go.

But I can help you! "

poor person must have something mean.

Kang Zhaoer is indeed pitiful, but whether she is voluntary or forced, she is Aunt Kang's tool for scheming against her.

Minglan didn't know why Aunt Kang insisted on letting Kang Zhaoer be Gu Tingye's concubine, but she knew that if her plan succeeded, she would be in big trouble.

She really wanted to be cruel and ignore Kang Zhao'er, but everything Kang Zhao'er did was for her mother and sister, which made her couldn't help but think of her mother, and she finally relented.

Kang Zhaoer was still struggling, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped and looked at Minglan expectantly.

"Kang Wang has kept you here, and you will definitely not come here in a short time. He will wait a few days to come to me to ask for someone. You should leave with eldest sister now, and I will ask my grandmother to help you talk to you in Yuyang's hometown. It's a marriage. By the time she comes to the door, it's a done deal, and she doesn't dare do anything to your little mother," Minglan said.

Kang Zhaoer worried: "What if she doesn't let my mother and sister go?"

"I will ask my father to go to Kang's house and talk to my uncle then," Hua Lan said.

Hearing this, Kang Zhaoer kowtowed to the two of them and said, "Thank you two cousins. I will remember your great kindness for the rest of my life."

Minglan waved her hand and said, "I'll have someone take you down to clean up. When eldest sister leaves later, you can follow her."

Kang Zhaoer thanked him again and followed the maid down.

"What a crime. I heard before that my aunt took the wives of concubines and forced them to be concubines. I didn't believe it. I didn't expect her to be so cruel." Hua Lan sighed.

Minglan didn't comment well on this either, saying, "If eldest sister hadn't been here today, I would have been in trouble."

"Why are you being polite to me? She is my aunt. She would do something like this, which makes me feel ashamed." Hua Lan said.

……

Aunt Kang left the orange garden angrily and was caught up by Xiao Qin.

Aunt Kang got angry, and Xiao Qin laughed and said nice words to persuade her, and then invited her to the Gu family.

Arriving at the main hall of the Gu family, Xiao Qin sent the servants away. The anger on Aunt Kang's face disappeared instantly and she said with a smile: "Sister, how was my performance just now?"

"Haha, the acting is very good, I can't see any flaws." After finishing speaking, Xiao Qin said worriedly: "Will your concubine have any problems? Don't let her persuade her away with a few words."

"Don't worry, sister. The lives of her wife and sister are in my hands. She dare not disobey." Aunt Kang said confidently.

Xiao Qin was a little disdainful when he heard this. If Aunt Kang really had the means, would she let her man have so many concubines?

But Aunt Kang was still useful to her, so she naturally had to support her and praise her.

Aunt Kang was very happy to hear this and said with a smile: "Sister, you see I have done my job. My brother Jin's errand?"

"Don't worry, I will ask my brother to help arrange it." Xiao Qin said.

"Then thank you sister. I'll go there tomorrow to ask for someone. I stayed in the Orange Garden for one night, but I can't tell clearly." Aunt Kang said with a smile.

"Not tomorrow. Now the officials are watching the martial arts performance outside the city. Erlang's family can't go back. We have to wait for Erlang to come back." Xiao Qin said.
