Chapter 38 Love Luck
Chapter 38 Love Luck
Naturally, what happened in Jingyuan and the old lady's courtyard did not escape Xu Huiling's eyes.
"I heard that the man's wife's hands were bleeding from being beaten, and she couldn't even pick up her chopsticks to eat," said Mother Liu.
"That vixen deserves it!" Wu Yiren said gritting her teeth.
"He thought that just because he entered the old house and became the second young master's wife, he would be able to enjoy a life of luxury and wealth? He didn't even consider himself to see if he was worthy of being the second young lady of the Bai family."
Xu Huiling sneered and continued to tease the bird in the cage.
"Even this bird knows that if it wants to live comfortably, it must learn to be obedient."
"Luju also mentioned that the old lady seemed to be thinking of taking a concubine for the second young master. Then Madam Wang suggested that she could discuss it with you, but the old lady didn't respond immediately. She probably still had some concerns." Madam Liu said.
"This Mrs. Wang is a sensible person. I'll give her the box of vanishing cream I brought back from Yangcheng later."
"Mother, I...I am willing to be Brother Xun's concubine." Wu Yiren said with tears in her eyes, "You know, I have liked Brother Xun since I was a child. I don't want to marry anyone else except him."
Seeing this, Xu Huiling sighed and said, "There's no way your father would agree."
"I'll go back and tell him now! Dad loves me the most, he will definitely agree." Wu Yiren said anxiously.
Xu Huiling thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to succeed, you have to listen to me and not act arbitrarily."
A glimmer of joy flashed in Wu Yiren's eyes, and she nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, mother."
Lu He, a maid in Bai Xun's courtyard, has always harbored a secret love for Bai Xun. She thinks she has hidden it well, but she doesn't know that her every move has already betrayed her.
Xu Huiling had long noticed Lu He's thoughts, but she didn't point it out because she thought it would be fun to watch the show from the side with her meddling between Bai Xun and Nan Chun.
But the maid was just a maid after all, she was as timid as a mouse and didn't dare to do anything cruel.
Xu Huiling thought to herself: Since you don't dare to take action, then I will give you a push and lend you a helping hand.
Lu He was very happy when she heard the angry scolding coming from the west wing from time to time.
Although Aunt Zhang was not as ruthless as before, she was still very strict with Nanchun. Although the Second Young Master was dissatisfied, he did not stop her.
The peach blossoms in the garden are in full bloom. Pick some and put them in the second young master's study. He will definitely like them.
Lu He was thinking as she walked with her small bamboo basket on her shoulder.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Luhe from the Second Young Master's courtyard?"
Mother Liu was also picking peach blossoms in the garden.
"Mother Liu." Lu He said with a smile.
"The flowers are blooming beautifully," said Mother Liu.
"Yeah, it wasn't this good in previous years."
"This is a good sign, indicating that there will be a good marriage in the old house!" Mother Liu said with a smile.
Lu He thought she was talking about Bai Xun and Nan Chun, her face changed drastically, and she said unhappily, "That's not a good marriage."
Seeing this, Madam Liu smiled and said, "Of course, I'm not talking about the Second Young Master and the Second Young Mistress. By the way, after that incident a few days ago, did Madam Zhang not punish the Second Young Mistress?"
"How is that possible! The Second Young Master is not a person who shows partiality. Besides, he can't even learn the etiquette of eating after studying for several days. Nanny Zhang punished the Second Young Madam for his own good." Lu He smiled.
"That's right, then... didn't the Second Young Master stop it?"
"No."
Mother Liu thought for a moment and said, "This shows that the Second Young Master has compromised with the Old Madam and is no longer blindly favoring the Second Young Madam. It seems that the Second Young Master doesn't have much affection for him either."
That's good! I heard that the old lady is planning to take a concubine for the second young master. These days, I've seen him being very caring and protective of the second young mistress. I was worried that he would not take a concubine for the sake of the second young mistress.
"How could he not take a concubine? He's a man and can't give birth..."
"Yes, but I don't know who the old lady has her eyes on. She must know the background of the second young master and she must be good-looking and have a good figure. Miss Luhe, I think you are quite good." Mother Liu said with a smile.
"Oh, Mother Liu...don't say that." Lu He's cheeks turned slightly red.
"Madam told me that you've been serving the Second Young Master for six or seven years." She leaned over to Lu He's ear and whispered, "Actually, the old lady originally intended for you to be the Second Young Master's maid. But the Second Young Master was so abiding by the rules, so the old lady didn't mention it openly."
Luhe looked at her in surprise, unable to hide the joy on her face.
Seeing her happy face, Mother Liu smiled and said, "The peach blossoms are blooming so beautifully!"
Back in Jingyuan, Luhe placed the peach blossoms in the vase in the study with a smile on her face.
"Ah Fu, where is the second young master?"
"The second young master went to the shop in the county town with the head of the family." Ah Fu said.
"Oh." Lu He was a little disappointed. She glanced at the bedroom and asked, "Is the Second Young Madam in the room?"
"Ah."
Lu He thought for a moment and said, "I picked some peach blossoms. They are very pretty. I think the Second Young Madam will like them too."
After saying that, she took the flowers and went to the bedroom.
Nanchun was sitting in a rocking chair reading a comic book. There was tea, snacks and fruit on the small square table beside her.
Lu He felt regretful and annoyed when she thought about how she should have enjoyed this. If she had acted earlier, Nan Chun would have been out of the question.
Seeing Nanchun looking at her, Luhe forced a smile and said, "Second Young Madam, the peach blossoms in the garden are in full bloom. I picked some and put them in a vase."
"Oh, it looks pretty good." Nanchun smiled.
As Lu He put the flowers into the vase, she said, "Second Young Madam, people outside are saying that the Second Young Master is going to take a concubine."
Nanchun paused slightly, and seeing her staring at him curiously, he said, "I can't carry on the family line, so it's only natural for him to take a concubine."
Seeing that he didn't care, Lu He asked, "Do you really think so?"
Nanchun said, "You're quite concerned about this, aren't you?"
Lu He knew she had lost her composure, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "This servant has served the Second Young Master for many years, and the affection she has for him is incomparable to that of ordinary people. So... so naturally I care more about him."
Nanchun nodded and said, "Oh, so that's it! It's up to Bai Xun to decide whether to take a concubine. I don't have any objection anyway."
Lu He was secretly delighted when she heard this and said, "Second Young Madam, it's great that you think this way. Our Second Young Master is a man who values filial piety the most. He has sacrificed a lot to marry you for the sake of the Bai family and the village. You must not let him become an unfilial person."
Seeing that Nanchun didn't say anything, Luhe continued, "Don't worry. Taking a concubine is only for the continuation of the Bai family's lineage. You are the principal wife, so the concubine will have to serve you respectfully after she enters the house."
"Serve me? That's not necessary. It's enough for her to be in love with Bai Xun and live in harmony with him."
"The flowers are ready." Lu He said with a smile.
Nanchun nodded. He looked at her cheerful back and the peach blossoms blooming in the vase on the table, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"This peach blossom is really suitable for the occasion. Bai Xun has a very good luck in love!"
