Lihoumen

Chapter 39 He Entered the Ji Girl’s House

In Lan Yajuli, Qingqing's life was still as dull as ever, but the maids below were not very peaceful these days.

The mistress was not favored, and there was a beautiful concubine in the courtyard. Such a shocking thing naturally gave the servants more topics to gossip about.

"Chun Ya, you said that the person from the East Wing has been here for two days, why hasn't the Third Young Master come yet?" A little girl rubbed the clothes in her hands and whispered to someone beside her.

"Oh, maybe our young master is not interested in beauty."

"I really don't understand. You said our wife is so beautiful, and this new concubine is also a beauty. How can you resist when you are in your prime?"

"Who knows? Maybe these people don't please the young master. Maybe the young master has someone in his heart."

The other one immediately became interested and asked, "Do you think the Third Young Master is still in love with that cousin from the Lin family?"

"Needless to say, although my cousin's family was convicted, she is from a noble family. I heard that the Queen Mother is in poor health. Haha, when the Saint takes power, the Lin family will surely be able to turn things around. Although my cousin has been married before, she has the support of her family, and she is also liked by the old lady and the young master. I think the position of mistress will be hers sooner or later."

"Sisters, are you washing clothes?" Two little girls were gossiping here when a girl slowly came over and greeted them with a smile.

The two of them looked up suddenly and saw that it was the new Ji girl Honglian. The two little girls looked at each other and one of them said, "Auntie is dressed so beautifully, are you going out?"

Honglian nodded, then squatted down in front of the two of them and whispered, "I have been here for two days and have not seen Madam yet. I want to go and pay my respects to Madam."

As she spoke, she took out a handful of copper coins from her sleeve pocket and quietly put them into the hands of the two little maids, then lowered her voice and asked, "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with anyone. But I see that the two sisters look friendly, so I want to get close to them."

The two little girls understood and one of them asked, "You are the aunt, half the master of this courtyard. If you have any instructions, just ask."

That day, Honglian saw Shen Han's true face at the old lady's place. Such a handsome and mighty man took to her heart as soon as she saw him. However, now it has been two days since she was brought into Lan Yaju, but she has not yet been favored by the master. Naturally, she was anxious.

Honglian hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I have been here for two days, why haven't I seen the master come to the yard? And as for the Madam, I hardly see her all day, and I don't know what Madam's temper is like. I am new here, and I don't know where to go. I feel uneasy."

The one called Chunya was delighted upon hearing this, and whispered to Honglian, "Aunt, you don't know, our master went to war a few years ago, and he has only been back a few days ago. This mistress was married to him before he went to war, and he has not come to the main courtyard many times since he returned."

Upon hearing this, Honglian immediately asked, "I heard that the mistress was born a commoner, is that true?"

Chunya nodded, and Honglian asked again: "It can be seen that the master does not like the mistress very much."

Chunya hesitated, and another little girl hushed, "We can't say for sure. If you like it, then go ahead. It's been a while since I've seen you stay here. If you don't like it, I saw with my own eyes a few days ago that you gave all the rewards you earned to Madam. There were so many gold, silver, and jewelry. Wow, they filled up half the room."

When Honglian heard this, she understood most of it.

She straightened her waist, raised her hand to touch the hairpin on her temples, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sisters."

She was just a mistress in name only, and now, she finally saw some hope.

After returning to the room, Honglian started to dress up by rummaging through the boxes. Since the mistress was not favored by the master, as long as she was prepared, it was only a matter of time before she seized the opportunity.

But Honglian did not expect that the opportunity she had been longing for would come so suddenly. She was happily dressing up in the room when the maid outside ran in hurriedly and said, "Aunt, the third young master is here, the third young master is here." Honglian was so startled that she stood up suddenly and hurriedly pushed the door open and went out of the room. When she pushed the door open, she saw that it was indeed the mighty and handsome master who came.

She was so surprised that it took her a long time to come to her senses.

"My name is Honglian, and I'm here to meet you, sir." She smiled at Shen Han and bowed.

The news of Shen Han setting foot in the east wing spread into Lan Ya Ju in the blink of an eye.

Night had just fallen. Qingqing had finished her dinner and was sitting in the porch, reading a medical book and enjoying the cool air. Lingzhi ran over in a hurry and told Qingqing about this breathlessly. At that time, Shen Han had just stepped into the threshold of the east wing.

Qingqing stood up when she heard that, and happened to see the afterimage of Shen Han walking into the east wing.

She stood there for a long while.

During the day, Shen Han seemed to want to be honest with her, and Qingqing's heart softened again.

She thought that when she got the chance, she would have a frank talk with him. If he married her just to repay a favor and there was no love between them, she would not waste his time. She had medical skills and it was not that she had no other options if she simply left the mansion.

If that was not the case, and he cared about her and only went to that place for social events, Qingqing could still understand.

She is not unreasonable.

But he couldn't wait for them to communicate clearly, and he was impatient to visit the girl Ji. It can be seen that Shen Han really has no sincerity towards her.

How could Qingqing not be disappointed.

She glanced at the faint shadows of the two people in the east wing, then turned and went back into the house.

Seeing this, Lingzhi immediately followed and asked anxiously: "Madam, don't you want to go and take a look? Humph! It must be that Ji girl who seduced the young man."

Qingqing sneered and replied: "That's only if he's willing to take the bait."

Seeing Lingzhi wanted to say more, Qingqing waved her hand and said, "The old lady stuffed that girl into the yard just to serve you, well, don't mention this matter to me, and don't disturb your pleasure. Tomorrow when you see that girl, don't embarrass her or be mean to her."

After saying that, Qingqing asked Lingzhi to leave and walked to the desk and started to stare blankly.

She fell in love with Shen Han at first because she admired his demeanor, but she knew very little about him. She was deceived by his appearance and married the wrong man.

That godlike figure was actually just an ordinary person with an empty shell.

It would be fine if I had no hope, but since I was full of hope and now I am deeply disappointed, it is like falling from the sky to the ground, which is heartbreaking.

She shed tears, then spread out the paper and wrote the divorce letter.
