The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

Jiang Xueqing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Liu Yu discovered something?

She later heard about what happened in the kitchen last time. Fortunately, she had a trick up her sleeve and kidnapped Wang Po's son after she left.

Even though Mrs. Wang never revealed the secret until her death, Jiang Xueqing decided to test it out for the sake of safety. It was no wonder that she was so cautious, because Liu Yu was really too smart.

Although she was going for the Chang family, but in that situation, not only did Liu Yu not get any taint of the old lady's reputation, the old lady even liked Liu Yu more. Her eyes were filled with jealousy, and her handkerchief was torn into pieces.

But on second thought, even if the old lady loved Liu Yu, what could she do? Liu Yu was the daughter of a madman, and the Chen family would never make Liu Yu the legal wife of Mr. Chen Sanye.

Unlike herself, although Chang was not divorced, she went to Anguo Temple to practice, which was no different from being divorced. Now that she was out, she just needed to hold on to Mr. Chen's heart forever, and she would have the final say in the second house in the future.

"Second Madam? What does this have to do with the Second Madam?" Jiang Xueqing asked tentatively.

Originally, Liu Yu did not think that the spring water and mushroom soup in the kitchen were poisoned. After all, Jiang Xueqing was in the small Buddhist temple at that time.

Before going to the villa, she secretly investigated and found out the two most favored concubines in Mr. Chen's room. One was Chen Ruqi's mother, and the other was a new concubine named Tian'er who was taken in after Jiang Xueqing was punished to go to the small Buddhist temple. She was originally a maid given to Chang in the mansion, but was unexpectedly favored by Mr. Chen.

Liu Yu suspected Chen Ruqi's mother only because she was not satisfied with the second wife, Chang, and had a dispute with the family chosen by Chen Ruqi.

But from Jiang Xueqing's reaction just now, Liu Yu suddenly had a strong intuition that she might really have something to do with what happened in the kitchen.

She knew Jiang Xueqing was the person with the least motivation and possibility, but she believed in her intuition more, and Jiang Xueqing's actions were strange in every way.

"What's the matter? Wouldn't Aunt Jiang know? The second wife was sent to Anguo Temple. Did you know that?" Liu Yu stopped and looked at Jiang Xueqing with a smile.

Jiang Xueqing's heart was filled with turmoil, but she tried to remain calm. Just as she was about to ask something, Liu Yu left.

That's right! In the past two years following Master Chen, she learned from him that if she wanted to get something out of someone, she should not be too impatient and should stop when she got it right.

Liu Yu raised the corner of his mouth, stepped into Shou'an Hall and passed through the crescent-shaped gate. At this time, most of the people in the Chen Mansion were standing in the courtyard of Shou'an Hall. Everyone's face was filled with joy, except for a few people. Everyone was happy that Mr. Chen San was promoted.

When they saw Liu Yu coming in, they all went up to congratulate her. Although Liu Yu was only a concubine, there was no legal wife in the third room. As a favored concubine, she was very eye-catching! However, apart from her, Lian Baoer, who arrived earlier than her, also had some people around her.

Seeing Liu Yu coming, Lian Baoer was like seeing a savior. She walked through the crowd and quickly came to Liu Yu: "Sister Yuer, you are finally here." She whispered: "These people are so enthusiastic. If I had known, I would not listen to Sister Guyu and wait for you to come together."

Liu Yu smiled, patted Lian Baoer's hand, and took her to wait in the crowd. More people came one after another, including the Fifth Madam Yao and the Fourth Madam Li. They came straight to Liu Yu to greet him, and their faces were a little warmer than usual.

After a while, the old lady, supported by Nanny Feng, entered the main hall of Shou'an Hall.

The eldest lady, Mrs. Wu, led them and congratulated the old lady who was sitting in the main seat in an orderly manner.

The old lady raised her hand and motioned for everyone to sit down. At first, the old lady chatted with everyone about family matters, hoping that everyone would work together to help take the Chen Mansion to a higher level.

Later, when it came to the Chen family's misfortune, seeing that the time was almost right, the old lady suddenly changed the subject and asked everyone: "Do you know how our Chen family survived this difficult time?"

The fourth lady said without hesitation: "Of course it's my third brother and mother. We know that."

Everyone also hurriedly agreed: "Yes! Grandmother, thanks to you and Third Uncle, our Chen Mansion was able to avoid disaster..."

At this moment, the people in the Chen Mansion were more excited than ever before. In a large family, having a capable head and mistress of the backyard is a blessing for the family.

But under everyone's gaze, the old lady shook her head and said with a smile: "I am really embarrassed to take this credit." Then, she waved to Liu Yu: "Yu'er, come to your mother."

As soon as the old lady said this, some people discovered how the old lady called herself Liu Yu. A few people who knew about it smiled with relief, but most people still didn't know. For example, Jiang Xueqing, even though she kept telling herself that the old lady just liked Liu Yu more,

If the old lady was not senile and confused, she would not let Mr. Chen San marry the daughter of a madman.

But only she herself knew how uneasy she felt.

Chen Ruqi snorted disdainfully at Liu Yu: "Tsk, you're just a bootlicker."

The old lady didn't care about other people's opinions. She just informed them. She continued, "You may not know that the last time the third brother got into trouble, the one who contributed the most was not me or the eldest brother, but Yu'er."

"Grandma, you won't lie to us, will you?" Some of the grandchildren of the Chen family were dissatisfied. They had no choice. Aunt Liu was a woman about the same age as them, and she saved their third uncle. It was good enough that she didn't cause trouble for their grandmother.

"That's it, that's it,"

Chen Zirui glanced at Liu Yu, who was looking down at him, and agreed, "To be honest, I don't really believe it either."

"..."

"You kid." The old man raised his hand and knocked on his son who was just joining in the fun, and then he began to educate his son: "You still don't believe it, but your uncle was able to escape safely because of the help of your aunt, your third brother. You know Yang Shizhong, the official in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, who helped your uncle in the court. Others can help your uncle only because of Aunt Liu's face."

"And this time, why did Zhang Lianci fall so quickly? Do you know what the reason was? It was because someone said that his achievements surpassed his master's. But do you know where this rumor came from?" Uncle Chen looked at Liu Yu with gratitude in his eyes.

The last time Liu Yu came to the city, he asked the maid to find someone to deliberately spread rumors in the tea shop. He happened to be out of the city on business that time and encountered this scene. At that time, he thought it was unnecessary, until the third brother told him last night the real reason for Zhang Lianci's downfall and that this Aunt Liu took the opportunity to go to the Zhang Mansion and dug up someone else's life-saving Buddha. He really admired this young but courageous and extremely smart woman.

When the third son said he wanted to help her become the main wife, he had no suggestions. Rui'er was in poor health and her mother was not young anymore. After the incident with the second wife, he felt that the Chen Mansion needed a capable and decisive mistress to take care of the rear house.

He promised his third brother to help persuade those who opposed.
