cold concubine

Chapter 40

Tang Yiluo looked at Teng Zibu worriedly, seeing Mrs. Tang's appearance, he expected that Teng Zibu would definitely be in trouble.

Teng Zibu smiled and nodded at him, telling Tang Yiluo not to worry.

Tang Yiluo's eyes lingered on Teng Zibu for a moment, wanting to say something more, but turned away again.Because he knew that even if he could block Teng Zibu this time, if she wanted to survive in the Tang Mansion, such things would happen frequently in the future.

"What? Are you still afraid that I won't be able to eat her?" Mrs. Tang saw what Tang Yiluo was thinking, and asked seriously.

Teng Zibu was afraid of any conflict between Tang Yiluo and Madam Tang, so he said softly to Tang Yiluo, "Yiluo, go back and rest first! Don't worry, I won't make Madam angry."

Tang Yiluo nodded, didn't stay any longer, and walked upstairs.

"Come to my room." Seeing Tang Yiluo walking away, Mrs. Tang said solemnly with a sullen face.

Teng Zibu lowered his head, pretending to be timid, and followed respectfully.

Mrs. Tang closed the door with a "bang", and looked at Teng Zibu with a gloomy expression, "You are so brave."

Teng Zibu trembled from fright, lowered his head deeply, and took a few steps back, like a child who has done something wrong and is afraid of being punished, "Ma'am, I don't know what Zibu did wrong to make Madam so angry." angry."

"Hmph! I don't know what I did wrong. Someone told me that I saw you and Yi Luo come out from Sleepless Night today. Is there such a thing?" Mrs. Tang questioned.

Teng Zibu did not deny it either. Since Mrs. Tang said it so clearly, there is naturally evidence. Even if she denied it, Mrs. Tang could not believe herself, so it is better to admit obediently, "Madam is right, Zibu is indeed He went to Sleepless Night, and he was with Yi Luo."

Mrs. Tang saw that Teng Zibu didn't even make excuses, and she became even more angry, "What? You still have the face to say that you took your husband to such a place, do you know how to be ashamed?"

Teng Zibu just lowered his head, neither defending nor accusing, knowing that Mrs. Tang had vented all her anger, Teng Zibu said, "Ma'am, if it is possible, is there any woman who is willing to let her What kind of place does the husband go to? However, Madam should know that Yiluo has always lived this kind of life. Zibu is just a concubine, and he is still powerless to change Yiluo. The only thing he can do is to be with him Make sure that Yiluo's heart is still at home." Teng Zibu said very aggrieved, but also made sense, she paused, and then said, "Zibu is indeed wrong, the fault is that he can't keep Yiluo Even people who are not in love can't keep Yiluo's heart."

Hearing this, Mrs. Tang was also taken aback for a moment. As a woman, why can't she understand Teng Zibu's difficulties? She knows better than Teng Zibu that in this big house, if you want to keep a man People, how difficult it is to keep a man's heart. She has failed herself, and she has seen Wan Qianshi's failure. Teng Zibu, a little dancer, has no ability to succeed.

Mrs. Tang pulled Teng Zibu to sit down, and Teng Zibu was a little flattered, "You are right, it is not easy to keep the person who wants to keep him, but also wants to keep his heart. But , you have to remember that in the Tang family, you have to position yourself correctly, as long as you don't overstep, this family is still willing to accept you."

Teng Zibu felt Mrs. Tang's kindness, but she also heard that Mrs. Tang's warning was for Wan Qianshi. Teng Zibu accepted it as soon as she saw it, and quickly replied, "Don't worry, Madam, Zibu I understand that Sister Qianshi is the wife that Luo Mingmei is marrying, and Zibu will not compete with her."

Mrs. Tang nodded, and the anger just now disappeared instantly.Actually, she was looking for trouble for Teng Zibu. She knew Tang Yiluo well. If Tang Yiluo wanted to do something, no one could stop him, let alone Teng Zibu.Originally, Mrs. Tang just wanted to teach Teng Zibu a lesson. Seeing that she was so docile and well-mannered, she no longer felt embarrassed.What's more, in Teng Zibu's body, she vaguely saw herself back then, so she couldn't be embarrassed if she felt the same way.

"Go back and rest first! Don't bother Yiluo tonight." In the end, Mrs. Tang did not forget to fight for Wan Qianshi's interests.

Teng Zibu nodded in response, left Mrs. Tang's room, heaved a sigh of relief, and thought to himself, fortunately, he acted well just now, otherwise, he might not be able to pass Mrs. Tang's test tonight.However, when dealing with Mrs. Tang, she knows how to overcome strength with softness.

On the way back to the room, Teng Zibu happened to pass by Wan Qianshi's room, and inadvertently heard Wan Qianshi and Tang Yiluo whispering. After Mrs. Tang's words.I thought, I wish Tang Yiluo wouldn't bother me, I have more important things to do tonight!
"Qing'er, tell the kitchen to bring me a bowl of lotus seed soup to the pavilion in the backyard." Teng Zibu ordered while walking outside.

"Aunt Teng, it's so late, it's cold and dewy outside, so don't go out." Qing'er advised.

Teng Zibu looked at the door of Wan Qianshi's room, and pretended to be sad and said, "Staying alone in the room will only make you sad, it's better to go out for a walk."

"Hey!" Qing'er sighed, she understood Teng Zibu's thoughts, and couldn't help feeling sorry for her, "Why don't Qing'er accompany you over there! Although Qing'er can't help much, it's good to talk with you ah!"

Teng Zibu shook his head, "No, you stay in the room. In case Madam asks, just say that I have fallen asleep. I don't want Madam to know that I am going out so late, so as not to cause trouble."

Qing'er nodded, but she also understood that in this Tang mansion, seemingly trivial things might cause troubles to the public, and as Teng Zibu, even if he went to the backyard to relax, he had to be more careful so as not to cause trouble. Criticism.

In the pavilion, Teng Zibu had just sat down when a servant brought lotus seed soup. Teng Zibu looked at the bowl of lotus seed soup but didn't drink it. Obviously, she didn't really drink the soup.

"This lotus seed soup is cold, why are you still in a daze?" Suddenly a man's voice came from behind.

Teng Zibu suddenly recovered from his daze, and looked back, the person who came was Tang Yihuai whom he was waiting for.

"It's your fault that the soup is cold!" Teng Zibu joked.

This was an agreement between Teng Zibu and Tang Yihuai. Once Teng Zibu asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of lotus seed soup and deliver it to the pavilion, he was sending a message to Tang Yihuai to find him in an emergency.

"Miss Zibu asked me to come here so late, what's the matter?" Tang Yihuai said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
