Chapter 68 Part 2: Taking a Concubine

 

^^

 

Gao Ran couldn’t say what she was thinking. In her previous life, she had seen many pampered son of wealthy family. It would be a strange sight if they had the red flag at home but not falling for the colored flag fluttering outside. She was even one of those colored flag. So Gao Ran had always felt that as long as she was the most important in a man's heart, then if he occasionally went out to steal a meat, ​​that was nothing.

 

But it wasn’t until this moment that Gao Ran realize how much impact such behavior would have on the main wife. Gao Ran stayed in her seat for a while, then slowly came to her senses: "Where is she now?"

 

It was clear that this ‘she’ was referred to Yun Hui. Tao Mama also sighed and said: "Shizi should have sent her back to kowtow to Shizi Consort, but this slut relies on her seniority and has now gone to Wangfei’s courtyard with Bu Mama to give thanks."

 

Even if the husband agreed, taking a concubine also must have the primary wife’s approval. If to save face the primary wife was not allowed it, then even if the man spoiled this woman, she could only be a tongfang. Yun Hui brashly went to Lin Wei Xi's place to give thanks without going through Gao Ran this one big mountain. It was too rampant.

 

Gao Ran passed the initial shock, and now slowly came around. It was commonplace in modern times, not to mention the ancient times when the concubine was legal. What she had to do was not to quarrel with her husband about this matter, but to always win over Gu Cheng Yao's heart. Even if there were other women in the inner courtyard, Gao Ran had to become the most important, the most beloved in his heart.

 

As long as she got the man's heart, weren’t those women at her disposal.

 

Gao Ran's eyes immediately ignited, and she couldn't care about some insignificant days. She held the hand of the maid to stand up: "Come here, accompany me to Jingcheng Courtyard."

 

In Jingcheng Courtyard, Yun Hui was kowtowing to Lin Wei Xi. When Gao Ran arrived, she happened to come face-to-face with Bu Mama. The eyes of the two once made contact promptly separate, one only relied on her old age, and the other was virtuous on the surface and enduring in heart. The atmosphere was really not good.

 

Lin Wei Xi in the inside could heard the voices and she asked: "Shizi Consort has come?"

 

Gao Ran quickly walked inside the bead curtain when she heard this, and bowed to Lin Wei Xi: "Greetings to Mother."

 

Lin Wei Xi waved her hand and motioned to her to get up. Why was Gao Ran’s room matter came around kowtowing to Lin Wei Xi? Lin Wei Xi said: "I heard that Shizi wants to take Yun Hui as concubine?"

 

When this sentence came out from Lin Wei Xi's mouth, Gao Ran's heart tighten again. Even if Gao Ran didn't mind, she didn't want it to be known by another woman, and even said it to her face. Gao Ran lowered her eyes and said, "I haven't received a word from Shizi, this matter this daughter-in-law also doesn't know."

 

Yun Hui, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately became anxious, but Lin Wei Xi let out an ‘Oops’ in her heart, were they want to use her as the fighting ring? Lin Wei Xi did not want to get involved in this muddy water.

 

Yun Hui became impatient at once took two steps, and falsely pulled Lin Wei Xi’s delicate skirt corners: "Wangfei, this is what Shizi said, and it is absolutely true. This slave have served Shizi for more than ten years, and the loyalty to the mansion can be seen day and night. Please, Wangfei must believe this slave and act as the masters of this slave."

 

Yun Hui was afraid that Gao Ran would refuse to lift her position, and now risked being hated by Gao Ran to ask Lin Wei Xi. As long as Lin Wei Xi opened her mouth, Gao Ran had to admit it. Gao Ran was also afraid that Lin Wei Xi would be dragged by Yun Hui, and hurriedly fight for it: "This is just your own words, just some nonsense, who knows what is really going on. You are now relying on Mother who knows nothing, so you want to swindle Mother to give you a position, it is really damnable."

 

"That’s enough." Lin Wei Xi frowned slightly, and her eyes swept across the hall coldly, and the whole room immediately became quiet. Both Gao Ran and Yun Hui couldn’t accept it, but they still closed their mouths patiently. Seeing these people finally stopped, Lin Wei Xi said, "Whether or not Shizi really said the matter of taking a concubine, this is all Qingsong Garden's affairs, and there is no reason for me as the stepmother to get involved. Whether Yun Hui become a concubine or a tongfang it doesn’t matter. Shizi Consort should return and discuss it with Shizi, I don't care."

 

Yun Hui suddenly fell to the ground, but Gao Ran was the exact opposite, beaming with joy. Anyway, at this moment, Gao Ran was still grateful to Lin Wei Xi.

 

After the two groups of people pulled away, Lin Wei Xi's ears finally became quiet. Wan Yue supported Lin Wei Xi and asked: "Wangfei, did Shizi really want to take Yun Hui as a concubine?"

 

"Who knows." Lin Wei Xi replied carelessly, not even bother to move one eyebrow, "It’s their own affairs, they can do whatever they want, I don't want to listen to their dispute."

 

This was something that Lin Wei Xi could decide with a single sentence. Yun Hui took a chance coming here to win Lin Wei Xi's support, but Gao Ran hurried over as soon as she heard the news, also to know where Lin Wei Xi stand. For them it was a matter of life and death, but in Lin Wei Xi's heart, it was just a nosy matter that she was too lazy to listen to.

 

Wan Yue couldn't help but sigh. She thought that Shizi took a concubine so soon, it seemed that her day-to-day thoughts were all nonsense. But for some reason, Gu Cheng Yao decide this matters somewhat hastily, made Wan Yue feel uncomfortable.

 

After Gao Ran returned to the house, Yun Hui wanted to offer tea to Gao Ran, but Gao Ran refused on the grounds that she was uncomfortable with her body. If the mistress didn’t accept this cup of tea from the concubine, Yun Hui would be illegitimately conferred and didn’t have a status. Yun Hui was so angry, those two people one was the primary wife and the other was the chief maid, so each had their own unique tricks and had their own ability.

 

After this dragged on for half a month, in the end Yun Hui’s hair was pulled up (sign of married woman), but it was still unclear whether she become a tongfang or a concubine. Gao Ran pointed at the orchid in front of the window, snapped the scissor, and without expression cut off the best branch.

 

Gao Ran had never lost a fight with women for so many years. Even if Gu Cheng Yao has other women, but big is big, and small is small, no one could compete with her.

 

A ruthless light flashed in Gao Ran's eyes. Since Yun Hui was so ignorant, then don’t blame her for disregarding affection.

 

If you want to be Gu Cheng Yao's concubine, you should survive first.
