Chapter 40 Arranging the Yard

Luo Huilan, who had been standing quietly by the side, couldn't bear it any longer, and said anxiously: "Mother, how can you make Lingju my father's concubine? What if she has a crazy mind?"

"Shut up!" Jiang Guqiu immediately scowled when he heard his daughter's words, "It's better not to find a woman for your father, but to let your father go outside to find a woman instead of letting him bring other women in." This woman is mine!"

"But, mother, what should we do if Lingju is disobedient? Now her contract of selling herself is not in our hands!" Luo Xinlan said worriedly.

Hearing Luo Xinlan's words, Jiang Guqiu smiled bitterly, and said, "It is true that her deed of prostitution is no longer behind me, but don't forget that the deed of prostitution of Lingju's family is still in our hands. Once she If you are disobedient, don't blame me for being rude!"

Luo Xinlan's eyes lit up when she heard Jiang Guqiu's words, how could she forget this!
"But just in case, there is one more thing to do." Jiang Guqiu smiled inscrutably, cast his eyes on the maid beside him, and said to her: "Go, make cold medicine for Lingju, and watch it with your own eyes. She drinks it before leaving!"

The servant girl heard Jiang Guqiu's words and took orders to leave.

"Lingju has become father's concubine?" Huo Zhirou frowned slightly when he heard Chun Xiao's words.

"Yeah, my servant just found out. I heard that Aunt Jiang used her personal servant girl to serve the master because she couldn't serve the master. Later, the servant inquired and found out that this person is Lingju!"

Huo Zhirou tapped her fingers on the table again and again, as if a little out of her control, Ling Ju became her father's concubine, which surprised her so much!Fortunately, Lingju's contract of selling herself is still in her hands, or should Aunt Jiang and Lingju fight?As father's concubine, it seems nothing to fight between the two concubines, and women in the back house fight a lot.

"Miss!" Chunxiao saw Huo Zhirou's silence, and immediately called out.

Hearing Chun Xiao's words, Huo Zhirou came back to his senses and said, "What else is there?"

"My servant also heard that Jiang Guqiu also sent a servant girl to give her cold medicine. Doesn't this mean that Qiu Ju will not be able to conceive in the future?" Chun Xiao frowned tightly, Jiang Guqiu's behavior surprised them too much.

Huo Zhirou sneered coldly, this is what Jiang Guqiu did, she really thought that Jiang Guqiu was so kind to give Luo Xing a concubine, so she left a hand, let Qiu Ju drink contraceptive soup, to ensure Luo Xing's heir All from her.

Huo Zhirou suddenly thought of something, and a devilish smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Go and call Uncle Cao!"

When Chunxiao heard Huo Zhirou's words, she nodded and took the order to leave.

Soon Steward Cao rushed over, and respectfully said to Huo Zhirou, "Miss!"

Huo Zhirou nodded, and then said, "Uncle Cao, you know about my father taking concubines again?"

When Steward Cao heard Huo Zhirou's words, his expression darkened immediately, he nodded, and said, "I heard that the little one is the maidservant next to Aunt Jiang!"

Huo Zhirou nodded with a smile, and said, "It's that girl Lingju!"

Steward Cao had never met Lingju, but when he heard that it was Lingju, the maid Huo Zhirou had been looking for, he had a look of astonishment on his face, "Miss, is it her?"

"That's right! I didn't expect it to be her!" Huo Zhirou pointed his forehead lightly with his fingers, and then said with a smile: "If there is one, there are two. If Daddy can let a woman enter the Huo family, he may let another One, what I didn't expect was that the one who allowed Dad to take a concubine this time was actually this Aunt Jiang who valued Dad so much!"

Seeing the smile on Huo Zhirou's face, Steward Cao said to Huo Zhirou helplessly, "Miss, you can still laugh!"

When Huo Zhirou heard Steward Cao's words, the smile that had been on his face suddenly fell, he snorted coldly, and then said: "If you don't laugh, are you crying? No matter how much trouble you make, Dad will ask for it." Other women, pity my mother, they thought this man was a man who was loyal to her!"

Huo Zhirou's pretty face was gloomy when she said this, "I'm not making trouble this time. If I want to make trouble, let them do it! Since my father has a new concubine, I, as a daughter, should be 'generous' , arrange a good place for this new concubine, Uncle Cao, let someone tidy up the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard and let this new concubine live in!"

Steward Cao's eyes widened when he heard Huo Zhirou's words, Hexiang Courtyard, this is one of the courtyards with the best views in the backyard!Miss actually let that woman live there.

"Miss, you have to think twice! Why did you let that woman live in this place? Didn't this let the master know that we have compromised?" Cao Butler said with a pause.

Huo Zhirou looked at the anxious Steward Cao, smiled and shook his head, and said, "Uncle Cao, I have my own intentions."

When Steward Cao heard Huo Zhirou's words, he immediately stopped talking, his brows were frowned, and his face was still full of puzzlement.

"Uncle Cao, now Jiang Guqiu is living in Xicaoyuan, a dilapidated place there, and she has always been uncomfortable. If Lingju lives in a good place, Aunt Jiang will be even more unhappy, and Lingju is her maid again. , is the woman she gave to my father again, won't she make trouble? No wonder! When they make trouble, the frustrated Lingju will truly regard me as her master!"

After hearing Huo Zhirou's explanation, Butler Cao immediately understood, "So that's how it is, it's just a small mistake!"

"Don't worry, this is Huo's family. My father's concubines want to live in Huo's family for the elderly. They want to live in Huo's family. I want to leave everyone who should leave!" Huo Zhirou said with a ruthless look in his eyes.

Steward Cao nodded when he heard Huo Zhirou's words: "I'll send someone to clean up the Hexiangyuan immediately!"

"En!" Huo Zhirou nodded when she heard what Butler Cao said.

When Luo Huilan learned that Lingju was arranged to live in Hexiangyuan, which was more beautiful than their Xicaoyuan, she rushed into Jiang Guqiu's room angrily, "Mother, this Lingju is an ungrateful woman, It's disgusting!"

Jiang Guqiu, who was drinking the anti-fetal medicine, frowned when he heard Luo Huilan's words, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mother, you don't know that Lingju actually arranged to live in Hexiangyuan. My daughter went to see it just now. It's much more beautiful than our place. I'm so mad. Lingju, a stinky girl, is so big! Her charm made her arrange her to live there!" Luo Huilan said angrily, the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became.

"Crack!" The bowl in Jiang Guqiu's hand fell down, his face was as dark as the soup that had been spilled on the ground, and his eyes showed a vicious glare.

"Shut up!" Jiang Guqiu looked at his angry daughter and said through gritted teeth.

Luo Huilan looked at Jiang Guqiu, her face full of grievances, she pouted, "Mother!"

"Aren't you brainless? Could it be your father who can arrange for Lingju to live there? It's the girl Huo Zhirou. Her purpose of doing this is to make me fight Lingju!" Jiang Guqiu was so angry that his chest heaved up and down.

When Luo Huilan heard Jiang Guqiu's words, she immediately reacted and stomped her feet angrily, "This stinking girl!"

"Go, let Lingju come over to me, and tell her that I have something to say!" Jiang Guqiu said in a cold voice, this maid is a dog beside her, don't think that being Luo Xingwei's woman can make her taller !
"Understood, mother!" Seeing Jiang Guqiu like this, Luo Huilan didn't dare to talk too much, and nodded in response.

When Ling Ju was brought in by the maid, Jiang Guqiu shrank his eyes when he saw Ling Ju's attire.

Today's Lingju is wearing a small long jacket with three inlaid golden plum, bamboo and chrysanthemum patterns with a stand-up collar, and a skirt with flower and rattan patterns that sweeps the floor. Flower dragonfly jade grate, while a twisted silver bracelet is worn on the wrist, and the waist is tied with a flashing green double ring four-fold Ruyi sash. This dress makes the whole person look radiant.

Jiang Guqiu leaned on the bed, tightly grasping the quilt with her fingers, exposing her white fingertips, watching Ling Ju walk in, she immediately controlled the emotion on her face.

"Ma'am!" Lingju bowed to Jiang Guqiu, still as humble as she used to serve Jiang Guqiu.

Jiang Guqiu saw Lingju like this, a sneer twitched on the corner of his mouth, and quickly disappeared, then he said: "Lingju, why is Madam not Madam, we both have the same identities now, why don't you hurry up and help Auntie up!"

The maid at the side heard Jiang Guqiu's words, and immediately stepped forward to support Lingju.

Although Lingju stood up, her head was still hanging slightly, hiding the coldness in her eyes, thinking of Jiang Guqiu who sent someone to force her to drink the herbal medicine for avoiding children yesterday, to prevent her rights as a mother, at this moment she was very annoyed at Jiang Guqiu , but at this time she does not have the ability to fight against Jiang Guqiu.

Lingju put away her hatred, and said respectfully to Jiang Guqiu: "Although the servant is also serving the master now, the servant will never forget that it is the madam who gave the slave this opportunity, so that the servant can have today, the slave is grateful to the madam! "

Everyone likes to hear good things, Jiang Guqiu is the same, when he heard Lingju's words, the smile on his face finally became a little more real, he nodded and said, "Look at what you said, I heard that the master let you live in Hexiangyuan?"

After hearing Jiang Guqiu's words, Ling Ju saluted and said, "Go back to Madam, it was not arranged by the master, but by Housekeeper Cao. He came over the other day and said that the young lady arranged for the slaves to enter the Lotus Fragrance Garden. When he took the slaves to see, The servant girl was also very surprised, saying that this place should be where you live, Madam, and the servant girl does not need such a good place, but Butler Cao said that this was arranged by the eldest lady and cannot be changed, so the servant girl had no choice but to..."

When Jiang Guqiu heard Lingju's words, his face was gloomy. This Housekeeper Cao doesn't have that much power, and it should be Huo Zhirou who ordered him to do this.

Jiang Guqiu thought that before Luo Xingwei said that Huo Zhirou was a soft-hearted daughter, but she didn't even realize that this little girl's family had such abilities and could resist Luo Xingwei, which really surprised her. Luo Xingwei felt that Huo Zhirou was different from before, could someone help her?

Thinking of this, Jiang Guqiu frowned, it seems that he has to understand this Huo Zhirou deeply!
Jiang Guqiu looked at Ling Ju in front of her, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, letting Ling Ju standing in front of her see Jiang Guqiu like this, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Lingju, how do I treat you?" Jiang Guqiu asked with a smile, but there was evil in his eyes.

Lingju suppressed the uneasiness in her heart when she heard Jiang Guqiu's words, and immediately said respectfully: "Madam is very kind to my servant!"

"Don't you call me madam, ah, I'm not a real madam now!" Jiang Guqiu sighed softly and said helplessly.

Ling Ju heard Jiang Guqiu's sad words, and immediately comforted her: "I believe that Madam will become the mistress sooner or later!"

"It does take a little time to become a mistress. If I arrange for you to do something, would you do it?" Jiang Guqiu looked straight at Lingju.

Ling Ju's heart skipped a beat when she heard Jiang Guqiu's words, but she still said: "This servant is willing to help Madam with things!"

Jiang Guqiu nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay! From now on, you will get close to this eldest lady!"

Ling Ju's eyes widened when she heard Jiang Guqiu's order, and looked at Jiang Guqiu in disbelief...
