Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress

After giving the hairpin and asking his little cousin to give one to Wei Ying, Wei Yuan got on the carriage and went to the palace to attend court.

But I didn't expect that he, who was always serious about his work, would be distracted at the grand court meeting, with his mind full of wandering thoughts.

After he came to his senses, he began to despise himself again. That was the little girl he treated as his sister, and he was actually thinking such shameless things just because he caught a glimpse of her.

Liu Fuyin, who went back to take a nap after flirting with the guy, didn't know any of this.

As a beloved cousin, Liu Fuyin naturally did not pay respects to her husband every day. Except for the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, she would go there depending on her mood.

But Xu Jingshu was not a good candidate as a daughter-in-law. Madam Yang had no feelings for her and was afraid that making things difficult for her would affect her relationship with her stepson. But seeing that others were bullying her daughter and trying to sow discord between the two children, she could not swallow this.

"Young Madam, please wait a moment. Madam has a headache and got up late."

Xu Jingshu has been waiting for an hour since she arrived. She has asked several times but she has always made excuses. It can no longer be seen that she is being deliberately made difficult. She has truly lived these nineteen years in vain.

But the one who made her wait was not someone else, but her mother-in-law. A mere step-wife actually treated her so arrogantly. If it weren't for the overriding importance of filial piety, she would have wanted to throw away her sleeves and leave.

Madam Yang just wanted to give her some icing on the cake so that she would know who the mistress of this mansion was and stop attacking her indiscriminately all day long and even targeting her sister-in-law.

"Young Madam, please."

Madam Yang gave a look and Nanny Chen brought a stool over to her.

There was nothing much to say about this greeting, it was just some words of concern. Normally, a daughter-in-law should serve her mother-in-law at meals, but Madam Yang didn't like her and felt that she had no appetite, so she excused her from doing so.

"It's been more than a year, and still no movement?" Mrs. Yang glanced at her belly calmly.

Xu Jingshu's face turned pale. This was also what made her feel uncomfortable. She was in good health and had never drunk any contraceptive soup since she got married, but for some reason she just couldn't get pregnant.

Xu Jingshu said calmly: "It seems that we are not destined to be together yet, but we will be together when the time comes."

In the past, Madam Yang would have just said a few words of comfort and let her go, but now that she had reached a consensus with her niece, she naturally wanted to make her unhappy.

"You also know that Brother Yuan is on the rise in his career, so why do we want him to get married so quickly? It would have been fine if the marriage was delayed for three years because of you, but who would have thought that after more than a year, there is still no sign of pregnancy."

"Brother Yuan is the only healthy male in the general's mansion. His uncles, aunts, and cousins ​​all died in battle. Although the master saved his life, his foundation was damaged. Now Brother Yuan is living on the edge of a knife and licking blood. I married you in the hope of having a child as soon as possible."

Madam Yang didn't care how unhappy Xu Jingshu's face was. She was just trying to make things difficult for her and pave the way for Yinyin. She was telling the truth. "We as parents don't ask for anything. All we want is to have a grandchild. Especially the old master. He is still holding on in the court for Yuan Ge'er, but he is getting weaker and weaker. Maybe he will feel better if he has a grandchild."

"Since ancient times, there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. As a mistress, you should take the initiative to arrange a few concubines for your husband. It will be the same if you raise them under your own name."

Mrs. Yang was just a stepmother and couldn't interfere, otherwise she would have made the decision to take a concubine on her own, so she could only talk about it in front of Xu Jingshu.

She knew Wei Yuan's character very well. He was just like his father, a big fool with only strength and no brains. Otherwise, he would not have been tricked into marrying the daughter of a sixth-rank official. It was a pity that she was not there at the time, otherwise she would have stopped it. However, after so long, it seemed that his attitude towards Xu Jingshu was at most a sense of responsibility, so it was much easier for her to get involved.

Xu Jingshu really wanted to refuse directly, but she also knew that what she said made sense. If she really refused loudly, and if anything really happened to Wei Yuan, she would probably be accused of being unfilial since she didn't have any children.

"Mother-in-law, you know that Brother Yuan is not keen on that. He doesn't go into the backyard very often in a month. I am powerless to do it alone. But I will seriously consider this matter. After all, we have only been married for more than a year. If possible, I would like to have a legitimate son."

Xu Jingshu's words were flawless. It was normal for a man to take a concubine, but most of the time the concubine would be given contraceptive soup to drink until a legitimate son was born.

But Xu Jingshu didn't even look at the current situation. Their general's mansion kept General Wei Yuan at home just to have a grandson. Now the border is in turmoil and he might be assigned out at any time. Never mind about the legitimate son or illegitimate son. Once on the battlefield, their lives are no longer their own. It is normal for them to want to leave a descendant.

Madam Yang said impatiently, "I don't care what you think. Anyway, you should pay attention to the matter of taking a concubine. Even if you don't want to, you should mention it to Brother Yuan. Who knows, he might be willing to have a child."

Although she was very angry, Xu Jingshu had to admit that what she said was right. After all, Wei Yuan did not have a deep relationship with her. Every time he came to the backyard, he didn't say much, just to get to the point.

The more she thought about love affairs, the more aggrieved she felt. At the beginning, she just wanted to marry into a good family, but now that she was married, she began to yearn for love. However, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

She returned to the backyard absentmindedly, and happened to meet Wei Yuan coming back from outside. The bitterness of seeing her beloved surged in her heart, and she cried out in a sobbing voice, "Brother Yuan."

"What's wrong?" In order to suppress his anger, Wei Yuan rode his horse for a while after leaving the court. He came back to change his clothes and pay his respects to his mother. Seeing her inexplicably aggrieved expression, he felt confused.

Could it be that he had another conflict with Wei Ying, or did he see the two hairpins? After all, she happened to see them when he bought them yesterday. But since she didn't ask, he didn't explain.

"My mother asked me to give you a concubine."

Xu Jingshu started crying after saying just this one sentence. It was Chunhua beside her who exaggerated the whole story, including how Madam Yang had deliberately made things difficult for their young lady and forced her to wait for more than an hour.

Wei Yuan just frowned slightly and consoled her, "Mother is not that kind of person. She is probably just not feeling well. As for taking a concubine, it was probably father who suggested it. You don't have to worry about it. We are at the right age now, and you never know when we will have a child."

Wei Yuan said this not because he really liked her, he just felt that having too many women in the backyard would lead to more trouble. He knew that those officials with many wives and concubines had a chaotic and noisy backyard all day long, while it was much easier for someone like his father who had only one person in the backyard.

But Xu Jingshu felt differently when she heard this, especially since she had already fallen in love with this young general. She wiped away her tears instantly and threw herself into the man's arms, "Brother Yuan, I know you really care about me."
