Canglan Empress

Chapter 40 Don't Lose the Face of the General Mansion

Madam Yuan?
Xuanyin was silent for a moment, and then understood.

Huangfu Zonghan fell in love with the Yuan family at the beginning, perhaps because he was concerned about the impact on his reputation of doting on his concubine and destroying his wife, so he did not directly abolish Li's position as the head of the house.

It's just that when Yuan Shi was promoted as a flat wife and gradually replaced Li Shi as mistress, the servants in the mansion gradually called Yuan Shi by Madam.

In order to please the Yuan family, they always called the Li family by their aunt.

Huangfu Zonghan knew that such a title was wrong, but he did not deliberately correct it, or in his heart, besides being a legal wife, Li Shi was actually just an aunt in terms of status.

He had long forgotten the sight of carrying Mrs. Li into the door eight times in a sedan chair.

But now, as soon as Huangfu Xuanyin came back with great military exploits, the first thing she did was to confirm Li's status as the mistress of the family, and the servants no longer dared to call her Aunt, they only dared to address her as Madam.

However, although Yuan's status is a little lower than Li's, she is also Huangfu Zonghan's legitimate wife, and has been in charge of Zhongfu for so many years, and the servants have long been accustomed to her "Madam" position.

Now that the two wives are of the same status, the maid uses "Mrs. Yuan" and "Mrs. Li" to distinguish the two wives. At present, it is the least dispute-provoking way.

Xuanyin hooked the corners of her lips.

If Yuanshi can really be her "Mrs. Yuan" in peace and don't take the initiative to seek death, then she and her mother will never covet the identity and power of the head of the Huangfu family. She will continue to do what she loves.

But if she doesn't learn to be smart...

Killing a woman is really not a difficult task for Xuanyin.

"Eldest Young Master." A servant outside the door bowed and reported, "Master asked Eldest Young Master to prepare as soon as possible, and he will enter the palace in half an hour. Eldest Young Master, please be neat and dignified, so as not to lose face to the General's Mansion."

Xuanyin turned her head, looked at the servant who sent the message, and said calmly: "Apart from the master and me, are there other people in the house who will enter the palace?"

"Madam and Second Young Master will also go together." Although the servant was reluctant in his heart, he dared not answer.

The second ancestor of the Yuan family and Huangfu Minghao will also enter the palace?

When Xuanyin heard the words, the corners of Xuanyin's lips swept across a thin arc, and said casually: "Got it, you can go down."

"The master told the young master to make preparations earlier—"

"This banquet in the palace is prepared for this general, he must have worried too much." Xuanyin glanced at him indifferently, "If he is in a hurry to enter the palace, you might as well tell him, their family The three of you can go one step ahead and don't have to wait for me."

Hearing the words, the servant outside the door was stunned for a moment, and then his face revealed a look of uneasiness, "The villain...the villain dare not spread such a word."

"Don't dare?" Xuanyin sneered, sat down at the table leisurely, picked up a spoon and took a mouthful of porridge, "Why do I think you are quite daring."

The servant lowered his head, his expression becoming more and more disturbed.

"Go down." Xuanyin's tone was calm, but there was a tone that could not be refused.

The servant obediently responded, turned around and flew away.

Xuanyin was not in a hurry, she ate a bowl of porridge gracefully, wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, then turned to Li'er and said, "I may be late tonight, you and Xing'er take good care of Madam."

Li'er complied respectfully, not daring to neglect the order of the young master.
