Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

Qingsongyuan is quite famous in Shengjing.

The women here are all from good families, making a living through art and famous for their talents. Compared with the women from ordinary families, they are good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Compared with the ladies from high-class families, they are also knowledgeable and good at understanding people's hearts.

In the city of Shengjing, many concubines of wealthy families came from Qingsongyuan.

I heard that the power behind Qingsongyuan should not be underestimated. This is what allows these girls to live with confidence.

Zhuhong and Liulu are twin sisters who grew up in Qingsongyuan. The elder sister is good at playing the zither and the younger sister is good at dancing. They are both very good-looking, especially the younger sister. Her eyes are so charming that I don't know how many men will bow down to her!

And tomorrow, the two sisters will marry into the Changning Marquis’ Mansion.

Shen Ruoyan got up early in the morning. Marrying a concubine was not a big deal. For an ordinary family, a sedan chair could be carried into the house.

But she welcomed three at a time, just to let people outside see how generous she was as the mistress of a marquisate!

Chun Xi came in from outside, looking very happy. "Madam, the house has been decorated, and the concubines' accommodations have also been arranged. This is the list sent by the steward. Take a look. Is there anything wrong?"

Of the three concubines, Zhuhong and Liulu were sisters, so their courtyards were almost adjacent to each other. Fangrou's courtyard, though not far away, was still much worse than the treatment of the concubines.

Shen Ruoyan pointed at a few places and said, "Pick a few things from my private storehouse as a gift to the three concubines. It can also be regarded as a meeting gift."

As the mistress, she would not favor one over the other. Chunxi understood what she meant, nodded, and went to make the arrangements.

Today is a good day for the Marquis' Mansion. As the protagonist, Lu Jing is even more joyful. When Shen Ruoyan arrived, his eyes softened a little. Taking three concubines at once, he was very proud of himself among his colleagues!

"Madam, please take a seat."

Lu Jing was in a good mood and was friendly to others. He personally brought Shen Ruoyan to the seat of honor, giving the principal wife enough face. Shen Ruoyan remained calm, neither happy nor sad, "Let's start."

Three concubines came in from outside, and because it was carried out at the same time, some adjustments were made to the more traditional etiquette.

Fang Rou walked in the front, she was wearing a water-red wedding dress, and looked at Lu Jing affectionately. No matter what, she finally stepped into the gate of the Marquis's Mansion! So what if she was a concubine? She believed that as long as she had Lu Jing's favor, she would squeeze Shen Ruoyan out sooner or later!

There was a raging ambition in her eyes, but Lu Jing was only concerned with admiring her beauty.

But it's not just her.

Zhuhong and Liulu were young and beautiful. When they stood out from behind Fang Rou, they immediately attracted Lu Jing's attention. Especially Liulu, whose eyes were like hooks, making people linger after taking a look.

Fang Rou noticed it and trembled with anger.

She glared at Liu Lu fiercely. How dare she do that to this vixen? !

"Serve tea to the mistress."

As soon as the maid finished speaking, someone beside her brought the prepared hot tea. After drinking this cup of tea, the ceremony was officially over.

Lu Jing and Shen Ruoyan sat at the top. Zhu Hong and Liu Lu did not dare to act rashly and served tea in a proper manner. Before serving the tea, Zhu Hong even wiped off the tea foam with the cup lid. When she handed it to Shen Ruoyan, she lowered her eyebrows and looked very obedient:

"Madam, please have some tea."

Shen Ruoyan took a sip, smiled and nodded. Then Qiu Ye placed the prepared red envelope in Zhu Hong's hand.

Zhuhong's eyes flickered slightly, "Thank you, Madam."

Lu Jing watched from the side and secretly sighed that Shen Ruoyan was indeed from a noble family and had an extraordinary demeanor. She used to be timid in front of him, but in this kind of situation, she was able to maintain her face.

When it was Fang Rou's turn, she was very unwilling. Shen Ruoyan was fine, but who were these two vixens?

They are all women, and she can see through Zhuhong and Liulu’s thoughts.

I originally thought that after entering the mansion, even if Shen Ruoyan was the mistress, Lu Jing didn't like her, so the mansion would naturally fall into my hands in the future. When my son grows up, the position of mistress will come to me at will, right?

But now with two more young and beautiful concubines, Fang Rou's confident heart began to waver.

Looking at their young faces, Fang Rou suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in her heart.

With the three concubines coming in today, it was crucial to decide where Lu Jing would stay. Originally, Lu Jing owed her something for not being able to make her his concubine, so she was not worried about tonight.

But after seeing Lu Jing's gaze towards Liu Lu, Fang Rou's thoughts changed!

"Madam, please have some tea."

Fang Rou walked forward slowly, and when she passed by Zhuhong and Liulu, she squeezed between them.

"Ouch!"

There was a scream, and all the scalding tea splashed onto Fang Rou's hands. Seeing this, Lu Jing quickly hugged her in his arms, "What are you still standing there for?! Go find a doctor!"

Fang Rou's hands instantly turned red, tears streaming down her cheeks, "My Lord, it's all my fault for being careless. Don't blame my two sisters, they didn't do it on purpose."

She suddenly spilled her tea, and it looked like someone had pushed her from behind.

Liu Lu's eyes widened, and she was about to explain, but was stopped by Zhu Hong, "My Lord, we have just entered the mansion and don't know the rules. I didn't realize that I blocked Aunt Fang's way and caused her to be injured. Please punish me, my Lord."

After the two of them offered tea, they stood there quietly, but Fang Rou insisted on squeezing in between them. It would have been strange if she didn't get burned!

The incident just happened suddenly and no one had thought about it yet. But when they heard Zhuhong asking for punishment, they did react.

"Ignorance is not a crime. You did not mean it." Lu Jing's anger slowly subsided in Zhu Hong's gentle voice.

He was also too concerned and just focused on Fang Rou's injury. But now thinking back, it seemed that the injury was self-inflicted.

Fang Rou tightly grasped his clothes and choked with sobs, "My Lord, it's all my fault. I'm sorry for making you upset."

When Lu Jing and Fang Rou were out, they always lived as husband and wife. Seeing her so pitiful, he couldn't bear to blame her, "It's okay, just be careful in the future."

The doctor came and treated Fang Rou, comforting her: "Don't worry, sir. Fortunately, the tea has been there for a while, otherwise you would have been scalded to death!"

These words made Lu Jing even more distressed, and that night he stayed at Fang Rou's place.

The red lanterns were hung all night and the candles in the house were burning all night. Shen Ruoyan knew that Fang Rou had the upper hand in this game.

Chun Xi sighed, "It seems that the Marquis really loves Aunt Fang."

Although Fang Rou was said to be a good girl married by Lu Jing, her true identity was known to everyone in the mansion. After all, the battle in the study was still gossiped about by some servants behind their backs.

Chunxi was worried about her master, afraid that Fang Rou would be too favored and affect Shen Ruoyan's status in the mansion.

But Shen Ruoyan didn't notice it at all, and even comforted her in a good mood: "Don't worry, the good show has just begun, and it's still unknown who will win."
