Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Han Yueniang finally met Duke Zhou Chenli as she wished, a hundred days after the birth of Tangtang, the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

The main reason was that Butler Qian felt that there was no need to hide this matter from Zhou Chenli any longer.

Looking at Han Yue Niang's appearance, not only did Zhou Chenli feel disgusted, even he, an old man half buried in the ground, could not have any bad thoughts towards her.

When Han Yueniang dragged her plump body to kneel in front of Zhou Chenli, Zhou Chenli was stunned and asked Steward Qian: "Standard Qian, you said this fat woman came to see me? And when my wife was pregnant?"

Han Yue Niang quickly answered, "Master, don't you recognize me? I'm the daughter of the owner of the Han Family Inn."

"Back then, you were in the inn, smiling at me with your bare chest."

"Master, I have always remembered your wonderful smile. I have taken your jade pendant and am coming to the capital to look for you, the Duke."

"Master, please take a closer look at me. I am Han Yueniang. The young master gave me a golden bean back then."

Zhou Chenli didn't bother to pay attention to Han Yueniang kneeling on the ground. He turned around and asked Steward Qian, "Who sent her to the farm and allowed her to eat like this? Does our Duke's Mansion have a lot of silver?"

Steward Qian patted his chest and took a step forward: "Master, it's me. It was me who sent Han Yue Niang to the farm in the suburbs, and it was me who asked the farm steward to feed her like this."

"I didn't expect her to be a liar. I thought it was the Duke who had incurred some romantic debt."

Zhou Chenli was so angry at Butler Qian that he laughed. He pointed at Han Yueniang, who lay like a pile of flesh on the ground and said, "Is this how you treat the peach blossom debt I incurred? You're raising her like a fat pig, making your master sick just by looking at her?"

Butler Qian said awkwardly, "I'm not afraid of neglecting others. If you come back and blame me, I will be blamed for it."

Han Yueniang could also tell that Zhou Chenli disliked her, so she hurried over and reached out to grab Zhou Chenli's trouser leg: "Master, you pity me and I ran all the way to find you. I would rather be a slave in the Duke's Mansion than go back to Linzhou City."

Han Yue Niang had already made up her mind that if Zhou Chenli didn't let her enter the Duke's Mansion, she would be willing to keep her on the farm.

Zhou Chenli kicked Han Yueniang, who was holding his trouser leg, away and said angrily, "You ate so much food from my Dingguo Mansion and you still want to go home? You are so flattering!"

"Don't you want to be a slave in the Duke's Mansion? I'll have Steward Qian take you back to the farm to be a slave."

Zhou Chenli looked at Han Yueniang, who was kicked away by him, and asked in confusion: "Why don't you look in the mirror and see what you look like?"

"Look at your hands, what's the difference between them and that pig's hoof?"

Zhou Chenli pointed at Han Yueniang's clenched hands.

A mirror can't reflect everything, but you should always know what you are like. Han Yueniang is a greedy person with no sense of restraint. Once such a person gains power, no one will survive.

After a while, Han Yue Niang asked the housekeeper Qian to send her back to the farm.

When the steward and his wife saw Butler Qian, they hurried forward to ask, "What's going on, Butler? What are the Duke's plans for this young lady?"

The steward and his wife were certain that the Duke simply looked down upon Han Yue Niang as she was now, but they didn't know how Zhou Chenli would arrange for her.

"How should we arrange it? Didn't she insist on being a slave in the Duke's Mansion? It just so happens that the farm is short of people to work, so you can make the arrangements as you see fit."

"Also, keep an eye on her. Don't let her set foot outside the manor. Even if she dies, she must become a ghost in the Duke's Mansion."

Before Butler Qian left, Zhou Chenli told him, "Han Yueniang dared to cause trouble while the Madam was pregnant. She should be beaten to death on the spot. If it weren't for the young lady's sake, Zhou Chenli would have beaten Han Yueniang to death right now."

Zhou Chenli wanted to accumulate blessings for his daughter and didn't want to get involved in violence. Otherwise, Han Yueniang would have died long ago.

When Mrs. Zhao heard that Housekeeper Qian said that Han Yue Niang let them arrange things as they pleased, she laughed and said to Han Yue Niang, "My dear, it's finally my turn to discipline you."

"I've been spoiling you these days. Do you really think you're my master?"

Han Yue Niang has been acting bossy on the farm these days, which has made Mrs. Zhao angry a lot. Mrs. Zhao remembers all of her mistakes.

"The backyard is in need of a servant to clean the pigsty, and I think you're just the right person."

"You've been eating a lot of pigs these days. Now's the time for you to take good care of the old sow."

Mrs. Zhao looked at Han Yueniang's beautiful clothes and then continued, "Forget it, don't change into servant clothes."

"There's no servant as fat as you, so wear this to the pigsty. No matter how beautiful your clothes are, they'll turn into rags after rolling around in the pigsty."

In winter, the eighth day of the eleventh month is the empress dowager's sixtieth birthday. In the past two years, the Zhou Dynasty has been peaceful and prosperous, so the emperor naturally wants to give his mother a good birthday.

The Sixth Prince Zhou Jicheng, who was far away in the northern border, was also recalled to the palace in advance by the Emperor to celebrate the empress dowager's birthday.

The next morning after Zhou Jicheng returned to the palace, he became the guest of honor at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Zhou Chenli looked at Zhou Jicheng sitting across from him and said cheerfully, "Old Six has gotten a tan and looks a lot stronger. How's Beijiang doing?"

Zhou Chenli could see that since Old Six came into the room, he had drunk several cups of tea but didn't ask about Xu Miao.

Zhou Chenli... Humph, if you don't ask, I won't mention it. Let's see who gets worried.

Zhou Chenli practiced Tai Chi leisurely with Zhou Jicheng. He had nothing to do anyway. His daughter was asleep and he was very free.

Zhou Jicheng originally wanted to ask about Xu Miao when he entered the room, but he opened his mouth several times but didn't say anything.

At first, when the emperor summoned him back to the palace to celebrate his birthday, he was quite excited and was very happy thinking that he would soon see Xu Miao.

But when he actually sat in the Duke Dingguo's mansion, facing last week's morning ceremony, he was still a little overwhelmed.

I chatted with Zhou Chenli about this and that for a long time, but we didn't get to the point.

The main reason was that he was not sure what he was thinking, although he sometimes thought of Xu Miao in the northern border.

But when he thought about it carefully, he didn't even know what Xu Miao looked like, let alone any other thoughts.

After returning to the palace, he paid his respects to his father, the emperor, and his mother, and then went to pay his respects to the empress dowager. Then he felt empty in his heart.

The next morning, he ran to Zhou Chenli's house and talked with Zhou Chenli for a long time, but he still couldn't make up his mind to ask what happened to Xu Miao.

Finally, Zhou Chenli couldn't help but feel awkward with Zhou Jicheng, so he yelled at the servant outside, "Go to the backyard and call that Xu Miao over. Tell her that a friend wants to see her. Go quickly."

Turning around, he looked at Zhou Jicheng with a look of disappointment: "With your appearance, you will never find a woman in your life."

"You're a man, what are you afraid of? When you see Xu Miao later, just ask him what he's thinking."

"Your prince brother has a bunch of women in his backyard, and he has a carriage full of children. And you're still a bald old bachelor. I don't think it's unfair for you to be single. I'm so worried about you."

"I'm leaving now. You just wait. Remember, listen to your uncle. When Xu Miao comes, ask her what she wants."

After saying that, Zhou Chenli turned away. He didn't want to stay here and feel awkward. It was tiring for him.

He wanted to go to the backyard to see his daughter and change his mood.
