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

Shen Ruoyan left Lu Jing late at night. Outsiders didn't know the inside story and thought that the relationship between the Marquis and the Mistress had eased.

When this news reached the ears of those who were concerned, it gave a different feeling.

"The mistress is the mistress. At times like this, even if we concubines want to go up to her and ask about her well-being, we have to get her consent." Liu Lu felt a little sour. Before entering the Marquis' Mansion, she had already made plans for her future destiny.

I originally thought that I would depend on the Marquis for the rest of my life.

But this deep mansion is not simpler than the outside world. The days in the mansion made her realize very clearly how important a person's background is.

"Autumn is still far away, why are you already belittling yourself?" Zhuhong joked with a smile. It was rare to see her usually lively sister showing such an expression, and she found it somewhat fresh.

"We cannot decide our identities, but we can decide how we live our lives."

Zhuhong said this calmly, as if she had experienced several lifetimes.

But Liu Lu obviously hadn't mastered it yet. She pouted and said, "Sister, I'm just sighing."

The sisters have had a hard life. They have no support from their mother's family and have to rely on themselves to survive to this age.

But I was lucky, at least I learned a skill in Qingsongyuan, and it was a place where people were respected for their strength. As long as you wanted to climb up, there were ways to climb up everywhere!

Among so many sisters, few could marry into such a high-ranking family as the Marquis's Mansion.

She was indeed a little hypocritical.

It is already very good that they have survived to this day.

"The mistress has her own way of living, and the concubine has her own life. As long as you do your duty and follow the rules, even the mistress will not punish you at will." Zhuhong knew that her sister was proud and it was normal for her to have some emotions.

But these words should only be said in your own room. If others hear them outside, it will probably cause big trouble.

Liu Lu lowered her head in shame. She had always thought that she had matured a lot after getting married.

But I only realized today that she was actually too superficial.

Fortunately, her sister was by her side, giving her advice from time to time, which allowed her to reflect on herself in time.

In the past, those sisters who were close to each other entered the rich family and became concubines. Some of them even had other ideas. Some even opposed the mistress in every way and wanted to replace her.

She would always remember that the leader of Qingsong Garden was very self-important and relied on the master's favor to go against the mistress of the mansion.

That was someone that even the two sisters combined could not defeat.

She was wildly beautiful and lived a wanton life. But when she was finally sent back to Qingsong Garden, she was only wearing a rolled-up straw mat...

Since then, the two sisters have learned to be low-key. Even if they entered the Marquis' Mansion, they dare not take advantage of their favor and act arrogant in front of the mistress.

So out of empathy, Shen Ruoyan also treated the two sisters with many favors.

Every time the Marquis stayed overnight with the two sisters, Shen Ruoyan would exempt them from paying respects. On weekdays, if there were any seasonal fruits or fine cloth, she would also generously send people to deliver them.

The mistress takes better care of them than the marquis does!

So Liu Lu only said a few sarcastic words, but in her heart, she still respected Shen Ruoyan.

Unable to go to the Marquis, she and her sister came to the mistress with tonic soup.

The Marquis was injured, and there were many people taking care of him, so they didn't need him. But the mistress had also worked hard for the Marquis, so they should come and care for him.

"Madam, you look thinner. While I feel sorry for the Marquis, you should also take care of yourself!" Liu Lu said this sincerely, and Zhu Hong nodded and said with concern: "Madam, I think you haven't slept well recently. I will buy you a sleeping sachet tomorrow. I hope you don't mind."

"You are so thoughtful, how could I dislike it?" Shen Ruoyan actually liked this pair of sisters very much. They were considerate and understanding.

It is really rare to find a person who has self-awareness in this mansion!

"As long as Madam likes it." Zhuhong replied with a smile, but she was thinking in her heart, I don't know what kind of things Madam likes, so it would be better to prepare a few more so that it would be convenient for Madam to change.

Chunxi looked at the two concubines chatting with the lady to relieve their boredom, with a smile on her face.

Fortunately, the concubines in this mansion are not like Fang Rou, who only thinks about men. I heard that she sneaked in today to help the marquis change clothes and go to the toilet...

A woman is so eager to take the initiative that even the maid looks down on her!

Maybe if she spoke of Cao Cao, he would appear. Just as she was thinking this, she heard a voice.

"Madam, Aunt Fang sent someone to ask again, asking if she can go and bring some food to the Marquis?" The person outside came to ask, and as soon as the words fell, Liu Lu's face turned ugly.

"Mrs. Fang is more thoughtful than the concubines, but the Marquis is a delicate person. How can the food she cooks be eaten by the Marquis?"

This was a sarcastic remark and no one dared to respond.

After all, Liu Lu had made many snacks herself in order to please Lu Jing...

Shen Ruoyan smiled faintly and said nothing. Aunt Fang must have sent someone to ask on purpose. The timing was so good. Maybe she wanted to show her deep affection for the Marquis in front of the other aunts?

In this case, she couldn't let Fang Rou down.

"Although Aunt Fang is well-intentioned, the doctor said that the Marquis's injury has not yet healed, and he needs to be carefully taken care of. Ordinary food cannot be eaten." Shen Ruoyan's eyes were no longer smiling, "I think Aunt Fang understands that since she cares so much about the Marquis."

I think Fang Rou also knows that Shen Ruoyan will not agree.

So, the person sent over said, "Madam Fang asked if she could give the food to the young masters if Madam doesn't want to. The young masters have a hard time going to school, and she wants to help."

It turns out that this is the plan.

Before Shen Ruoyan opened her mouth, Liu Lu couldn't help but snorted, "What the Marquis can't eat, he just sends to the young masters? Aunt Fang is indeed from the countryside. The young masters of the Marquis's mansion are raised like country kids!"

She covered her mouth and laughed sarcastically, "Who needs her to eat?"

The person who came to ask the question looked embarrassed, but she didn't dare to refute. She was Fang Rou's person, and before coming here, she had already anticipated what kind of situation she would be in.

But you have to do the work your master tells you to do.

Bear with it!

Shen Ruoyan smiled, "What Liu Lu said makes sense. Let's go back and ask Aunt Fang to be more sensible next time."

"Yes!"

Watching the man flee in panic, Liu Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Hong, who was standing next to him, smiled and said casually, "Mrs. Fang's behavior was inappropriate, but her kindness is rare."

"She doesn't have any children of her own, but she's very kind to the young masters. Especially Brother Kang... She always sends gifts. Although they are all small things, I've seen them a few times. Many of them are made by Concubine Fang herself, and they are very thoughtful."

Liu Lu seemed to have remembered something and added, "Of course not! After all, among the young masters, Brother Kang happens to look like Aunt Fang, so he should love her and her dog, right?"

Zhuhong remained silent, keeping her achievements and fame to herself.

However, Shen Ruoyan took the opportunity to answer, "Oh? Do Brother Kang and Aunt Fang look alike?"
