Uncle Chen nodded: "Mother said you are very good."

Does this mean she agreed? Liu Yu still felt that he was hallucinating. This was too simple! The old lady was not such a careless person! Why did she agree?

But after her experience in the previous life, she really couldn't feel the slightest joy about being promoted to the position of legal wife. Instead, she felt only a deep sense of uneasiness.

Mr. Chen San seemed to notice her abnormality. He put his arms around her waist and stroked it gently, silently soothing her emotions.

After a long while, Liu Yu forced a smile: "Third Master, I am very content with my current life." She still declined politely.

"Yu'er, you should know the current situation of the Chen Mansion. Your mother is old, your eldest sister-in-law is in poor health, and your fifth brother's wife is too young. Now the Chen Mansion needs a cohesive mistress to deal with the chaos that will follow." Master Chen San lifted her head, stared into her bright black eyes, and said seriously.

That was what she said, and it was the truth, but for some reason, she felt angry and blurted out subconsciously: "Since this is for the good of the Chen family, I have a better candidate."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them turned cold. Master Chen San sat up, pulled her out of his arms, and sat face to face with her. There was no emotion on his face, but his dark eyes stared at her with a dangerous light in them, like a leopard. It seemed that as long as he looked at or said a word, he could tear her into pieces and eat her bones.

Liu Yu shuddered unconsciously when he saw him like this, but he still said with his neck stiff, "The Miss Shen who came to our house last time is very suitable." Isn't he looking for the mistress of the Chen Mansion? As long as she is suitable, it will be fine.

The more she thought about it, the more unbalanced she felt. After she finished speaking, she turned her head away stubbornly.

But even she herself didn't realize that her words and her actions all revealed a sour taste in her mouth.

Mr. Chen Sanye heard it, and although he was very happy, he still decided to teach her a lesson and let her know that there are some things that cannot be said casually.

He said with a straight face: "Yu'er, do you think I want to promote you only because you are suitable and capable of managing the Chen Mansion?"

Liu Yu blinked and looked at him, with his eyes saying, isn't it?

Mr. Chen San was angry and annoyed, and finally sighed helplessly: "You silly girl, if I really want to find a suitable person, why would it be Miss Shen's turn? The reason why I want to make you the legitimate wife is to let you stand by my side openly! As for the inner courtyard of the Chen Mansion, no matter if there is a suitable person or not, as long as I am still here, there will be no chaos."

Liu Yu believed this. In the previous life, Mr. Chen Sanye did not marry, but the Chen Mansion was still in order and there had never been any trouble.

It would be fake for her not to feel touched when she heard his words, but with her status, standing next to him would only make him a joke.

Seeing that Liu Yu still refused to let go, Master Chen San couldn't say any sweet words. He was really at his wit's end. He suddenly leaned over and pressed her down, biting her red lips as if as a punishment.

It was not until the next morning that Mr. Chen let Liu Yu go after she begged for mercy and agreed to his request.

Liu Yu woke up again, awakened by the sound of firecrackers outside.

There was a hurried sound of footsteps outside the door: "Madam, Madam, the Third Master has been promoted."

Liu Yu suddenly sat up and got off the bed. She called Guyu over to wash and dress herself. Looking at Jingzhe who came in to announce the good news, her face was also filled with joy: "Are you telling the truth? What official position did the Third Master get promoted to?"

"I heard from the angel who brought the good news that it seemed to be some kind of tutor who taught the prince, and he also conferred the title of First-Rank Imperial Concubine on our old lady."

"It's Taifu." Liu Yu corrected Jingzhe's wording. She knew this last night when she saw the prince paying homage to Master Chen San, but she was still happy for him.

The old lady was conferred a title and Mr. Chen was promoted. It was a great joyous event. Liu Yu thought about it and immediately told Gu Yu, "Change into festive clothes."

Liu Yu guessed correctly. Just as she got dressed, someone came from Shou'an Hall. It was Nanny Feng, who congratulated her and invited her to Shou'an Hall.

She asked Guyu to give Nanny Feng a red envelope.

Last night, Nanny Feng was accompanying the old lady. She knew what the two masters were discussing. Compared with the previous admiration, the attitude towards Liu Yu was obviously more respectful. Nanny Feng reminded: "Aunt Liu, the third master and Aunt Liu talked about it last night! The old lady plans to take advantage of today's celebration to inform the people in the mansion. The old lady said that there may be some opposition at the beginning, but you don't need to pay too much attention to it."

Liu Yu nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you for reminding me, Madam. I know."

Soon Liu Yu followed Nanny Feng out of Qinyuanju and on the way to Shou'an Hall, they met many other people from the Chen residence who were going to congratulate the old lady. They would greet Liu Yu when they saw her. Even several concubines who were once loved by the masters and looked down on others would deliberately walk with Liu Yu and praise her as much as they could without paying for their kindness. If you didn't know, you would think that Liu Yu and they were really friends for many years.

Judging people by their colors, the interpretation is very clear.

Liu Yu smiled indifferently, without much reaction. Then a familiar yet strange voice came to his ear: "Yu'er,"

Hearing the voice and looking, Jiang Xueqing's figure appeared in Liu Yu's sight. Compared with the past, every time she saw Liu Yu, she looked arrogant and insolent. Now Jiang Xueqing was dressed in white without any accessories on her body. Her hair was only tied up with a jade hairpin. Her slightly pale face now gave people the feeling of a weak and sickly beauty who could not take care of herself. The aggressiveness from before had completely disappeared.

Liu Yu was sure that such a Jiang Xueqing would arouse men's desire to protect her even more.

However, Liu Yu doesn't think so. Just copying for a few months can change a person's character. If it can't be changed, then there is only one answer, that is, someone did it intentionally.

She didn't seem to have a good impression of Jiang Xueqing. She nodded indifferently to Jiang Xueqing and continued to walk towards Shou'an Hall without any intention of paying attention to her.

But Jiang Xueqing would not let it go. She quickened her pace, came to Liu Yu's side, and walked side by side with her.

"Yu'er, I know that what I did before almost hurt you. I apologize to you here. Can you forgive me?" Jiang Xueqing apologized to Liu Yu abruptly, and Liu Yu frowned when he heard it.

After years of calculating and scheming with others, Liu Yu has learned some ways to judge people. When a bad person is nice to you, he must be planning something even worse.

Liu Yu consciously slowed down his pace and said without thinking, "The person you are asking for forgiveness from is not me, but the Second Madam."
