Crossing Over to Yamada Love

After hearing the Second Madam's words, Mo Lan frowned. This was someone given to Xue Lingfeng. What was this? A concubine or a maidservant? Would she not mistreat her? Was she so sure that she would accept someone and not mistreat her?

"What are you doing, sister-in-law? How can you force someone into your room? Even I, as a mother-in-law, don't let my son and daughter-in-law force people into my room. You, as an aunt, have gone too far." Madam Xue's face was ashen.

"I was just worried that my sister-in-law wouldn't be able to find a suitable replacement. I even gave up my head maid, and not only did she not appreciate it, she even gave me attitude. This is really... Second brother, you should say something too." The second wife then asked about Third Master Xue.

“Madam, my sister-in-law means well. I think this girl is reliable. Anyway, we have to find someone for Feng’er, so I think we should accept her kindness and choose this girl,” said Master Xue.

Upon hearing this, the second madam immediately smiled and said, "Xueyan, why don't you quickly pay your respects to your mistress?" She hurriedly instructed Xueyan to bow to Molan so that things could be settled.

Xueyan was initially uncomfortable being scrutinized by everyone, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. Fate was not in her own hands; she could only obey.

She walked to Mo Lan's side, knelt down, and kowtowed, saying, "This servant, Xue Yan, greets Grandmother."

"Lan'er, you don't need to accept her courtesy. No matter what I say, no one can force you to go. Don't worry, I've agreed to your request and I will never go back on my word. I won't let Feng'er take a concubine, and no one can change my mind." Madam Xue said firmly.

“Madam, when did you become so unreasonable? Look at yourself now, you have no manners whatsoever as a lady of a noble family. If Lan’er doesn’t allow Feng’er to take a concubine, then she has violated one of the seven grounds for divorce and should be divorced.” Third Master Xue also became angry.

"Be divorced? If Feng'er doesn't divorce her, who can decide to divorce her? If Master insists on divorcing her, then divorce me as well. Lan'er and I will come over then." Madam Xue was furious and stood up from the stool.

She was forced to accept her husband taking a concubine in the same way. For the sake of her reputation, she endured so much hardship. She didn't want her daughter-in-law to suffer the same fate.

"Madam!" Master Xue's voice rose, his eyes filled with helplessness. Why couldn't his wife be understanding just this once? She was just a concubine; did she have to get so angry?

Mo Lan felt sorry for her mother-in-law. Her relationship with her father-in-law had just improved, and now they were arguing over her. How could her mother-in-law deal with her father-in-law and the Xue family alone? Even if her mother-in-law forcefully pushed her out, such incidents would never be rare in the future.

After thinking it over, Mo Lan had an idea in mind. The reason she had remained silent was that she had been observing and thinking about what to do.

Mo Lan walked to her mother-in-law's side, helped her up, and helped her sit down. She said softly, "Mother, please calm down. Don't upset yourself. You can leave this to your daughter-in-law."

Madam Xue looked at her daughter-in-law, whose face was calm and showed no signs of grief. Knowing that her daughter-in-law was a capable person, she patted Mo Lan's hand, signaling her to handle the situation and that she would support her.

Mo Lan walked to the Second Madam's side, bowed to her, and said, "I thank you for your kindness, Aunt. The person you chose is very much to my liking. He is a reliable person at first glance. I thank you on behalf of my husband. I will accept the person and will make good arrangements for him. I will not mistreat him and will not let you lose face. Please rest assured, Aunt."

The second wife smiled with satisfaction after hearing this and said to Mo Lan, "Yes, you are a sensible person."

Mo Lan smiled as she accepted the Second Madam's praise, and then said, "Auntie said that Xueyan was sold under a contract of death. I wonder if Auntie has this contract? If she wants to change her identity, it will be difficult without the contract."

After hearing this, the second madam gave a wink to the old woman behind her. The old woman hurriedly stepped forward, took out Xueyan's indenture, and handed it to Molan.

"Lan'er, you..." Madam Xue called out to Mo Lan, not wanting her to accept the indenture.

Mo Lan gave her a look, indicating that she didn't need to worry, and then took Xue Yan's indenture.

Seeing Mo Lan accept it, the Second Madam smiled and said, "Don't worry, niece-in-law. This contract has been prepared for you long ago. Your aunt has entrusted it to you. Your aunt is just waiting to hear your good news. Don't forget to set up two tables and invite your aunt to come and celebrate when the time comes."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I thank you again." After saying this, Mo Lan bowed and then walked to Xue Yan's side.

Since Mo Lan didn't wake up at that time, Xue Yan was still kneeling on the ground.

Mo Lan looked at her quietly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Xue Yan, would you be willing to come with me?"

Xueyan, who was kneeling, was stunned. What did Grandma mean by asking that? The Second Madam sent her here to be the Fifth Young Master's concubine. I suppose the Fifth Madam knew that. She accepted her indenture and was probably arranging a date for her to be formally married so that she could serve the Fifth Young Master.

But now Fifth Madam asked this question, and it was a question with a deeper meaning. At least to me, it sounded unusual. Did Fifth Madam not want me to be Fifth Young Master's concubine? Did she want me to be her maid?

Xueyan pondered in her heart whether she was willing. To be honest, she did not want to be someone's concubine. She was not familiar with the Fifth Young Master. She had only met him twice. Although he was exceptionally handsome, he was too aloof and not the person she had in mind.

I heard that the Fifth Young Master and the Fifth Mistress had a very good relationship. The Fifth Young Master liked the Fifth Mistress when she was very young and waited for her for many years before they got married.

I had always heard Madam speak ill of Fifth Madam, saying that she came from a bad family and that she was of bad character. I had always thought that Fifth Madam was a very arrogant woman, but today I saw that this was not the case.

If Fifth Mistress were not good, how could she have received such protection from her husband and mother-in-law? Since she was unwilling to become Fifth Young Master's concubine, why not take a gamble? If she could find a good master, it would be better than marrying someone she neither liked nor liked herself.

Thinking of this, Xueyan kowtowed three times to Molan and said, "This servant is willing."

Seeing that she understood, Mo Lan nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take you in. I happen to have two vacancies for head maids, so from today onwards you will be my head maid. This won't be an insult to you. Get up."

After Mo Lan finished speaking, Xue Yan kowtowed and stood up, while the others were dumbfounded.

The second wife was both shocked and furious. She said in a deep voice, "Fifth Madam, what do you mean by this? I gave Xueyan to Feng'er to be his concubine. Now you've snatched her away to be his head maid. What kind of behavior is this?"

Third Master Xue also said with a stern face, "Lan'er, don't be silly."

Mo Lan smiled slightly and said, "Father, your wife is not being unreasonable. Aunt, husband and wife are one. What is my husband's is also mine, and what is mine is also my husband's. Xueyan is with me, and she can serve my husband just the same. What's wrong with that?"

"You mean to make her a concubine?" the second wife asked, frowning.

“None of the head maids around me have become concubines. No matter who they marry, they will never become concubines or mistresses. They will always be the principal wife. Xueyan, am I right?” Molan actually asked Xueyan what she meant.

"Grandma, this servant is willing to be your wife." After hearing Mo Lan's words, Xue Yan came out and knelt down without saying a word, replying to Mo Lan.

Her words made the Second Madam so angry that she nearly fell over. The person she had sent away had already humiliated her in such a short time. She wondered what kind of bewitching potion that little bitch Mo Lan had given her, making her forget her original intentions.

She had brought her here to be a concubine, to sabotage the relationship between Xue Lingfeng and Mo Lan. All the benefits of being a concubine she had told her were wasted. She was furious.

The second wife glared fiercely at Xueyan, wishing she could slap her a few times and teach this little bitch a lesson for betraying her country.

Fourth Grandmother also glared at Xueyan, thinking how ungrateful she was. She didn't even try to compete for such a good man as Fifth Brother; if it were her…

Thinking of this, Fourth Grandmother's eyes darkened. She had no chance; it was impossible for her and Fifth Brother. What a pity for a man like Fifth Brother; his arms must be very strong, his…

Fourth Grandma started having wild thoughts again, and her eyes began to glaze over...

"Get up. After you become my head maid, you won't have to kneel all the time." Mo Lan told Xue Yan to get up. She hadn't misjudged her. She hadn't missed the helplessness in Xue Yan's eyes or the sense of powerlessness over her fate. That's why she had taken her in.

Madam Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was only a maid; she feared such incidents would be inevitable in the future.

"Mother, from now on, any aunts or uncles who send maids away, please feel free to accept them. Anyway, I have plenty of vacancies for maids. As long as they send their indentures, we'll accept them. It's a good thing to get maids for free without spending any money. We'd be happy to do so. I'm not afraid of maids who try to climb into my bed. As long as they have the ability, they can come if they want." Mo Lan said to her mother-in-law, and also to the Second Madam.

"Mother knows, you silly girl, you didn't say anything before. If you had said this earlier, Mother wouldn't have been in such a predicament. That's good. From now on, take as many as you want. We can afford to support you. If you can't fit them in your place, Mother's courtyard is fine too. Anyway, You Ran Ju is short of people to do things here." Madam Xue said to Mo Lan with a smile.

"Madam, you...you are...sigh..." Master Xue sighed. He was a little angry, but he also had some indescribable feelings in his heart. Mo Lan's words earlier, "Husband and wife are one," had actually touched her heart.

“Sister, Lan’er is young, but you are her mother-in-law. You can’t not think about her. She has no children. What will happen after she passes away? Sister, you should think more about this and not let Lan’er act recklessly.”

Madam Wang had remained silent until now, when she saw that everyone had given up, she stepped forward.

Madam Xue raised an eyebrow and said in a cold voice, "You're the one who started this, aren't you? You're the one who instigated Master, aren't you? And you're the one who told my sister-in-law to cause trouble here, aren't you? You're Lan'er's aunt, aren't you? Why are you doing this to her?"
