After rebirth, I became Little Marquis’s Bai Yueguang

Chapter 23

Liu Shutang sat alone in the room until the sunset.

The light shone half-darkly through the patterned window on her still charming face, showing a deep twilight.

When the sky completely darkened, Bi Tao came in with a lamp and said worriedly, "Girl."

She has rarely used this title to call Liu Shutang in recent years. Although Liu Shutang is just a concubine and cannot be called a wife, Bitao always calls Liu Shutang his wife in private.

Liu Shutang came back to his senses and saw the darkness in the room, so he said, "Let someone come in and light the lamp."

Bitao responded, and the waiters filed in, lighting up the lamps everywhere.

Although Liu Shutang is a concubine, she is Yuan Fuwei's beloved concubine.Therefore, she not only occupies the largest courtyard in the west courtyard, but the interior and exterior are also built to be the same as the main house.

It seems that although she does not have the name of the main wife, she is already the real wife.The Lord is very affectionate and has a daughter by his side.Although the madam didn't like her, she never treated her harshly.

The people in Dizhi live in a separate courtyard from her. Although they almost treat her as if she is nothing, they rarely have conflicts and only care about their own lives.

But that's just what it looks like.

Over the years, she had often given Yuan Miaoyi a lot of stumbling blocks in private, but Yuan Miaoyi didn't care about Yuan Fuwei's favor. No matter how partial Yuan Fuwei showed, she didn't care.

When it comes to the distribution of things in the inner house, let alone the fact that there is a concubine on top who will not allow her to do whatever she wants.

Even the servants of the Hou Mansion who are accustomed to adapting to the situation, as long as Yuan Lingheng is still the heir apparent, and as long as Yuan Miaoyi and Yuan Lingheng continue to have such a deep brother-sister relationship, who would dare to treat her lightly?

Only now did Liu Shutang slowly come back to her senses. She seemed to have won Yuan Fuwei's favor over the years, but in fact, this was exactly what Yuan Miaoyi cared about least.

Because she had already firmly grasped the most practical benefits.

Liu Shutang was suppressed by the Pei family and could not be corrected, and he had no children.Her brother, who has a deep relationship with her, is firmly seated as the crown prince and has already become an official.

In the future, when Yuan Fu Yiyi dies, won’t the people in the inner courtyard have the final say?

Liu Shutang thought of Yuan Miaoyi, who was always calm and calm when he saw her, and suddenly realized that she had never seen Yuan Miaoyi lose her composure in these years.

When did Yuan Miaoyi realize that she had a chance to win?Was it when she first entered the mansion?How old was Yuan Miaoyi at that time? Did she have such a vision?
After the waiters lit the lamps, they left one after another, leaving only Bitao.This aunt doesn't like too many people in the house, which has long been the consensus among the waiters in Linfeng Courtyard.

After everyone went out, Liu Shutang seemed to have unloaded something, and said in a tired voice: "Where is Rong'er? Are you asleep?"

Bi Tao served her tea and said softly: "My little lady is tired from all the trouble during the day. My servant put her to sleep earlier."

Liu Shutang nodded, stretched out his hand to support Bitao and said, "Please help me go to the couch to rest for a while."

Bitao helped Liu Shutang lie down on the couch. Seeing that her face was really ugly, she couldn't help but comforted her: "Madam, there is no need to worry too much. If it doesn't help, you still have a young lady."

Bitao knew why Liu Shutang was upset. People from Linfeng Court came and went, but she was always the most caring person around Liu Shutang.

Liu Shutang had no children. Although Pei Linlang's death had nothing to do with her directly, her affair with Yuan Fuwei was the straw that broke the camel's back.When the owner of the Hou Mansion changes, I'm afraid she won't be able to live a good life.

Liu Shutang reached out and held Bitao. Even though the room was so warm, her hand was still cold.

"Bitao, although you and I are master and servant, after so many years, we have become sisters, and you know what I am thinking better than the Marquis. I should have let you go out to get married earlier, but there is really no one I can trust around me. , that’s why I’ve kept you at this age.”

Bi Tao has been with Liu Shutang since the Liu family was destroyed. She has been with her ups and downs for so many years. After hearing Liu Shutang's words, she said firmly: "Madam, I have already thought about it, combed my hair and followed you." Yes, even if you send me out to get married, I will definitely refuse."

Liu Shutang's eyes turned red, and he held Bitao's hand harder: "Good Bitao, you also know that I am in a difficult situation now."

The words end here.Liu Shutang choked up from the bottom of his heart.Yuan Shurong is still young and she cannot be relied on.During the day, she had to pretend to be virtuous and cowardly in front of Yuan Fuwei and Mrs. Tai, but the suffering in her heart could only be told to her personal maid at night.

"If the prince's mansion does not belong to my child in the future, I'm afraid there will no longer be a place for me in the prince's mansion."

Bi Tao's eye circles were also a little red: "I understand, madam, I understand that no matter what you want to do, I will help you."

Liu Shutang sat up and said with a serious expression: "In the past, we were the ones who made the mistake. Now think about it, all favors are in vain. The important thing is what you can actually hold in your hands."

Didn’t the man in the east courtyard just grasp the most important thing, so he has been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai all these years?
She reached out and touched her belly: "If I have a child in my belly, and the child is born in this house, then who will investigate whether the child is the Marquis's?"

Yuan Miaoyi from the East Courtyard didn't know that her cheap father was about to be overshadowed by a green cloud, but in the evening, Grandma Cui mentioned that someone from the West Courtyard sneaked out today.

When Grandma Cui said this, Yuan Miaoyi was practicing calligraphy.She doesn't like the small regular script with hairpins that is loved by all the ladies in the capital, but she prefers the thin and graceful Liu body.

After hearing what Aunt Cui said, Yuan Miaoyi put down her pen after writing the last word, picked up the handkerchief on the side, wiped her hands and said quietly: "Does anyone know?"

"I don't know." Aunt Cui was a little helpless: "The Ma Youming you brought from Futian Village has great eyes. He said he looked like an old man, but he didn't look like he had been to the Marquis Mansion."

Yuan Miaoyi asked Bai Zhi to come in and clean up the desk for her. She smiled when she heard this and said, "I knew she wouldn't give up."

After that, he told Aunt Cui: "Find out how to find out who the person who came to the house is, and send people to pay more attention there during this period."

Aunt Cui was already used to her girl's appearance of having everything under control, so she just responded after hearing these words.

But after saying these words, Grandma Cui did not withdraw, but looked like she had something to say but didn't know how to say it.

Aunt Cui has taken very good care of her over the years, and Yuan Miaoyi has long since regarded Aunt Cui as more than just a current person.

As they spent more time together and understood each other more and more, Grandma Cui hadn't shown this expression for a long time.

Yuan Miaoyi dismissed the others, and sat on the beauty's couch by the window with Grandma Cui. She poured a cup of tea for Grandma Cui herself and said warmly: "Do you have something to say to me, Grandma?"
