Chapter 121 General's Concubine 5
Chapter 121 General's Concubine 5
"What can I say to him, Yue Zhen?" Liu Yaozhu sneered, and then rubbed her temples with a tired look on her face, "Okay, you guys go out! Let me be alone for a while."
Birou and Biyun looked at each other, and then they could only walk out helplessly.
The next morning, Liu Yaozhu came to the old lady's yard early to pay her respects.
Before the old lady forced Yue Zhen to take a concubine, Liu Yaozhu was indeed somewhat filial to the old lady, otherwise she would not have come to pay her respects to the old lady every day without fail.
But now...
Haha! Liu Yaozhu will naturally be a good and filial granddaughter-in-law. Otherwise, if she breaks off relations with the dead old woman, wouldn't it be easy to do something to her?
"Grandma, did you sleep well last night?" Liu Yaozhu took the tea presented by the servant and handed it to the old lady personally.
"Shan Ke," the old lady took the teacup and took a sip of tea, then put it down and looked at Liu Yaozhu and said, "I heard that Zhen'er slept in the front yard again last night."
"Alas!" The old lady sighed, "My child, if I knew that I let Zhen'er take a concubine, you would be angry and even hate me, an old woman. But I really can't do anything about it! Zhen'er is the only one left in the Yue family, and he is always away at war. Whenever I think of his grandfather and father, I worry so much that I can't sleep at night. I am even more afraid that Zhen'er will be the heir of the Yue family!"
"So, grandma had to stand up and be the bad guy, forcing Zhen'er to take a concubine. If you are angry, just go to grandma. Don't hate Zhen'er, which will cause the relationship between you and your husband to become estranged."
"Grandma," Liu Yaozhu's eyes turned red, "It's impossible for me to say that I don't blame you in my heart, but I know in my heart that you were right to force Ah Zhen to take a concubine. It's my fault for not being able to have a baby. If Ah Zhen gets hurt on the battlefield, I'll become a sinner of the Yue family and I'll have no hope."
"So, although grandma forced Ah Zhen to take a concubine for the sake of Yue's offspring, wasn't she also making plans for her grandson's wife?"
"I'm very pleased that you think this way," the old lady said with tears in her eyes. "I'm old now, and I might die someday, but you're different, you're still young. If Zhen'er gets hurt on the battlefield, and you don't have a child, what will you do?"
"Grandma, I understand. I, your granddaughter-in-law, understand your painstaking efforts." As she spoke, Liu Yaozhu's tears fell. "Although I understand your painstaking efforts, whenever I think of Ah Zhen taking a concubine, my heart is really painful. It hurts like being stabbed by a needle."
"That's why I thought, let Ah Zhen live in the front yard for the time being. When I can completely let go of it, I can live a good life with Ah Zhen."
"Besides, what's most important to A Zhen right now is to get his concubine pregnant as soon as possible, so it's good for my husband and I not to meet for the time being. After all, grandma is not unaware of the relationship between A Zhen and me."
The old lady nodded, thinking that what her granddaughter-in-law said made sense.
Although her grandson agreed to take a concubine, how could the old lady not be aware of his feelings for his grandson's wife?
Therefore, it would be better if the grandson and his granddaughter-in-law did not meet for the time being. In this way, the grandson could rest in my room with peace of mind and make the maid Chunxi pregnant as soon as possible.
"Grandmother has already chosen the candidate," the old lady looked at Liu Yaozhu and said, "The child is a good child, you don't have to worry about anything, you can take her back later and arrange a courtyard for the maid to live in. Grandmother thinks that the maid is easy to give birth to, I believe it won't be long before the maid's belly will have good news, you just wait to be a mother!"
The old lady's words did not mean any ill will. She was simply saying this to make her granddaughter-in-law happy. After all, if the maid Chunxi gave birth to a child, it would naturally be given to her granddaughter-in-law to raise, and the child would be registered under her name.
Of course, the old lady was not a cruel person. Although Chunxi’s first child was born for her granddaughter-in-law, if she got pregnant again, the old lady would let her raise her own child.
However, the prerequisite is that the child born by Chunxi must be a boy, so that it can be registered under the name of the granddaughter-in-law. If Chunxi gave birth to a girl as her first child, then the child she gave birth to as her second child would naturally be given to the granddaughter-in-law, unless she gave birth to another girl.
Alas! I just hope that the maid Chunxi can be more successful and give birth to a boy as her first child, so that she won’t have to go through the pain of separation from her own flesh and blood again.
But what the old lady didn't know was that her words made Liu Yaozhu's hatred for her deepen: "The person that grandma picked must be good. Don't worry, granddaughter-in-law will definitely make proper arrangements after she brings the person back."
The old lady took Liu Yaozhu's hand with relief and patted the back of her hand: "Grandma knew you were a good person, but it's hard for your child!"
The old lady is a woman herself, so she can naturally understand the pain in her granddaughter-in-law's heart. If she had no other choice, she really didn't want to be the bad person!
"Grandma, my granddaughter-in-law is fine," Liu Yaozhu forced a smile with difficulty. Of course, she was just pretending. "With grandma loving me, how can my granddaughter-in-law suffer?"
"By the way, grandma, shouldn't you ask someone to call the maid over so that your granddaughter-in-law can take a good look at how fertile the person you chose looks like."
"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what the young lady said? Why don't you go and call Chunxi, the maid, over here." The old lady said to an old maid beside her:
"Yes, I will go and call Chunxi, the maid, to let the young lady have a good look at her." Nanny Sun replied:
Nanny Sun has been serving the old lady since she was young. Her husband is the old steward of the general's mansion. The family has long escaped from the status of slaves, and her son follows the general and becomes a deputy general.
Logically speaking, Nanny Sun's family had long escaped from their status as slaves, and their son was promising, so the couple should not still be working in the general's mansion.
But isn't this because they are loyal to the General's Mansion? So even though their son has become successful and they can enjoy a good life, they still stay in the General's Mansion and continue to work.
Not long after Nanny Sun left, she came over with Jiang Chunxi.
"Your servant greets the old lady and the young lady." Jiang Chunxi bowed politely as soon as she came in.
The original owner had a very decent appearance, with a face like a silver plate and a plump figure. In short, she looked well-fed and beautiful, which was why the old lady chose her.
After all, when she was looking for a concubine for her grandson, she couldn't afford to find a seductive and restless vixen.
The moment Liu Yaozhu saw Jiang Chunxi, a sinister look flashed across her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant and no one present noticed it, not even Jiang Chunxi.
Jiang Chunxi is just a humble maid now, but she doesn't dare to look directly at Liu Yaozhu, the young lady. Didn't you see that she has been keeping her head slightly lowered since she came in?
