Chapter 3: What is a concubine?

"Master, this kid Yucheng is kind. He takes everything on himself even if it's not his fault. Please tell him that what happened to Yuze is not his fault, it's me, it's my fault. The location of this cemetery is mine. If he chooses, let him not blame himself, go through reincarnation well, and don’t want to be a great hero or a general in the next life, just live his own life peacefully."

Chang Hongyuan said every word with sincerity, which made Chang Yucheng burst into tears, "Dad, my child is unfilial. I just hope that I will have the opportunity to serve my parents in the next life."

Luo Jiuli repeated his words and then began to recite the rebirth mantra.

It was already the zenith of the moon when I saw Chang Yucheng off.

"The people have left, but the land still needs to be moved. Just find a good day to pick up the coffin and move it a few steps to the side."

"That little Yuze"

Luo Jiuli counted with his fingers, "I don't have to worry about my life. I'll leave the rest to the doctor."

As the words fell, a colorful firework bloomed in the dark sky, which was very beautiful.

What's even better is the good news that came from it - San Yuze's condition has improved!

"Thank you for your trouble, Master. The tea supply in the mansion is simple. I wonder if Master would be willing to sit there." The corners of Chang Hongyuan's wrinkled eyes were moist.

Luo Jiuli appeared when the imperial doctors were helpless about Chang Yuze's condition.

If he was in a hurry and sought medical treatment from the beginning and had doubts about Luo Jiuli, then the fireworks now completely dispelled his doubts.

"No need." Luo Jiuli shook his head, "I live far away. If I go back from here, I won't bother you."

"That's fine." Chang Hongyuan refused to dissuade him and took the money from the boy's hand. "The reward here may be a little less. Master, don't be dissatisfied. I will give you a hundred gold when you visit Chang Mansion someday."

Luo Jiuli confiscated it, but instead took out a beautiful mutton-fat jade plaque from his waist and handed it over, "I won't accept the money. Since your Changfu owes me a favor, this jade plaque is a token. One day in the future If anyone comes to ask for help with this jade token, I only hope that for today’s sake, Mr. Chang will help.”

Seeing that he refused to accept it, Luo Jiuli continued: "Don't worry, it will never be a murder or crime, and it must be within the capabilities of the Chang Mansion."

"Okay!" She said so, how could Chang Hongyuan not accept the jade token.

When Luo Jiuli came to the door, he said he didn't want any money.

Compared with favors, it is naturally better to solve the problem with money, so he gave her money just now.

Unexpectedly, this person was unmoved.

"If someone suddenly becomes manic and wants to kill someone, is it possible that he was affected by something?" The man in black suddenly asked.

Luo Jiuli looked over and thought for a while, "It is possible, but other reasons cannot be ruled out. If I remember correctly, there is a herb in the wild that can make people violent and bloodthirsty. You have to see it to know."

"How can I contact you?"

"I'm very expensive!" She didn't accept money from Chang Hongyuan just because she wanted to get something from him that she considered more precious than money - for example, freedom!

Moreover, she is lazy, she doesn't want to meddle in other people's business, and she wants to refuse.

"The most important thing my father needs is money!" the young man said loudly.

The man in black was silent, obviously acquiescing to his words.

Fine!

Luo Jiuli compromised, "Just give the letter to the shopkeeper of Ruyi Restaurant on Jingcheng West Street." She has a richest father, and she is not short of money, but who would complain about having too much money!

Luo Jiuli hurried back to the city. The sky was already bright and it was the beginning of the new year when he returned to his mansion.

Xin Yi stayed in the house and stayed awake all night. When he saw her return, he felt relieved.

After traveling long distances back and forth, Luo Jiuli was already very sleepy. He took a perfunctory bath and then fell asleep.

Before going to bed, he specifically warned me, "I'm going to sleep until I wake up naturally. If anyone comes, they'll say I'm stuck in my old habit."

In short, she just wanted to sleep and didn't want to see anyone.

However, reality is always unsatisfactory.

Luo Jiuli had just fallen asleep, and in a daze, a burst of noise came faintly from outside the door.

"My mistress is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. She has such a distinguished status. Being able to come to pay respects to the daughter of a mere merchant is to give you face. It's better for me to go and spread the word quickly."

When the master gets the favor, even the servants become a little arrogant.

"Bah! What happened to the merchant's daughter? If you have a father who is the richest man, I'm afraid you would want everyone to know about it! What happened to the merchant's daughter? What happened to the Xiao family's legitimate daughter? She is not destined to be a concubine!" Zisu was not a patient person, so she immediately fought back.

Xin Yi didn't stop her and continued, "My princess is unwell. Even the queen knows about it and protects her carefully. Concubine Xiao must not go her own way."

The implication is that my princess is not feeling well, and even the queen has to protect her carefully. Who do you think you are, a concubine?
Xiao Ruoling was so angry that she was shaking all over, "Since ancient times, merchants have been of the lower class. She, Luo Jiuli, just came before me and took the position of a princess in advance. Whether she can secure this position in the future is another question. You still have to wait and see. It’s better not to offend me too early.”

"If I can't sit firmly in my seat, Concubine Xiao, I won't bother Concubine Xiao." Luo Jiuli's voice came from behind the door. She opened the door, stood on the steps, and looked down at Xiao Ruoling, "On the contrary, it's sideways. I'm afraid even the women in the market would laugh at the concubine's rules. Since the Book of Thousand Rules didn't teach you what propriety is, let the etiquette nun in the palace teach you, Zisu."

"My servant is here." Zi Su responded.

"Take my concubine's sign, go to the palace in person, and tell the queen what happened today. She will send someone."

"Yes!" Zisu walked in after being told. Aunt Jiang wanted to stop her, but she was no match for Zisu. She was pushed so hard that she staggered a few steps and fell down the steps, crying and howling at the top of her lungs.

Luo Jiuli was annoyed and said, "Fight him out."

After saying that, he left without looking back. Behind him was the voice of Xiao Ruoling jumping up and down in shame and anger, "Don't go too far, I'm from the Xiao family!"

Xiao Ruoling was used to being arrogant and domineering outside. As long as she said that she was from the Xiao family, everyone would treat her with courtesy.

She thought Luo Jiuli was the same and only wanted to show off his power.

Unexpectedly, she really hit the wall this time.

Xin Yi has always been steady and does not get angry with others, but Xiao Ruoling's actions allowed her to successfully break through her defense.

When Luo Jiuli said to fight him out, she said nothing, picked up the broom in the corner and greeted the master and servant politely.

Aunt Jiang, who was sitting on the ground, saw the broom coming towards her, and her legs and feet immediately jumped up. She didn't even care about her master, and ran away in despair.

When Zisu came back from the palace, there was someone beside her, the Queen's wet nurse, Grandma Sun.

Grandma Sun got the Queen's favor. When she came to the palace, she beat Xiao Ruoling twenty times. After that, she stayed in Xiao Ruoling's courtyard and said that she would personally teach her the rules.
