Chapter 54: Promoted to the legal wife?
Are they going to make the concubine their principal wife? Uncle Chen Zhiping was the first to frown. He looked at his wife, Mrs. Wu. Didn't he hear her say a few days ago that she was showing it to the third son?
The third brother has now done something so unruly that he allowed his concubine to take the position of the principal wife. No girl in Yanjing will be willing to marry him in the future.
Mrs. Wu understood what her husband meant. After covering up her cough, she shook her head at Chen Zhiping.
It's been so long, and in her opinion, Third Brother has no intention of being with Miss Shen, so it's highly unlikely that it will work out.
Her third brother didn't let her get involved in what happened next, so she didn't know what was going on.
Looking at Master Chen San and Liu Yu sitting together below, Chen Zhiping's brows were furrowed enough to pinch a fly to death. The two seemed to be a perfect match, but this concubine, if he remembered correctly, was the daughter of the madman in the Pingnan Marquis's mansion, and a concubine's daughter.
He decided to find an opportunity to talk to his third brother.
Mrs. Wu had no intention of getting involved. The old lady had already spoken, so what else could she say? As long as she wasn't blamed as the sister-in-law, that would be enough.
It was different for Chang from the second house. As soon as she came in, she saw Liu Yu sitting next to Mr. Chen Sanye. Through Liu Yu, she saw the shadow of that bitch Jiang Xueqing, and she immediately felt unwell.
This woman is just a lowly concubine. Why does she have the right to sit in the position of mistress?
In the room, she was being bullied by that bitch Jiang Xueqing. As long as she said something a little harsh, Chen Zhiru would find ways to find fault with her and say that she was jealous.
Chang couldn't suppress her anger at all, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Liu Yu was murderous.
Even Liu Yu, who had been keeping her head down, noticed it. She raised her head and met Chang's eyes filled with hatred.
Liu Yu just felt confused. She had never had any contact with Chang, so why did she hate her?
From now on, she decided to stay away from the second room, as she had a natural incompatibility with the people in this room.
"What's wrong with you?"
Mr. Chen noticed something was wrong with Chang and followed her gaze.
Seeing Liu Yu sitting next to Mr. Chen Sanye, he was stunned for a moment, then pulled Chang to sit in his seat.
At the same time, he did not forget to warn Chang in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"I advise you to stop causing trouble for me, otherwise you will be in trouble." The tone was quite impolite.
Chang refused to give in and retorted:
"You favor your concubine and neglect your wife. What should I be afraid of? If you have the guts, just divorce me, like you did to your brother's concubine, and let that bitch take my place." Chang's voice became louder and louder.
"You..." Master Chen was so angry that he wanted to smash the cup at Chang, but due to the situation, he could only lower his voice and say:
"What are you thinking about? I don't mean that."
"Keep your voice down. Didn't you see that no one said anything? This proves that everyone agrees with Third Brother as his concubine. Maybe Third Brother will make this concubine his legal wife soon."
When Master Chen Er said this, actually even he himself did not believe it. As his third brother, he was the most rule-abiding person, how could he possibly do such a thing as making a concubine his legal wife?
Although the background of the third brother's concubine is better than that of his concubine, she cannot become the wife of the Chen family just because her father is a lunatic. Pingnan Hou is also a cruel man. Can he teach her good manners? If she really becomes the wife of the Chen family, she will only be laughed at.
If he could think of it, how could his shrewd third brother not be aware of it?
Even though he knew it was impossible, deep down in his heart, Master Chen still hoped that his third brother could make his concubine his legal wife.
He and his third brother served in the same court. His third brother had already entered the imperial court. If he married another woman whose family background was supportive, their family would be even less able to hold their heads up in the Chen family.
Master Chen didn't dare to think about this possibility anymore, and warned again unhappily:
Chang, I'm telling you, the Third House's affairs have nothing to do with us. If you keep making a fuss here, making people laugh at you and embarrassing me, I will send your troublesome daughter back home."
Chang's eyes were instantly filled with tears and her hands tightly grasped the corner of the table, but she didn't stare at Liu Yu anymore, nor did she make a fuss.
Seeing this scene, the old lady sighed silently. She had overestimated Chang. She had previously thought that she could suppress Jiang Xueqing.
As all the Chen family members arrived, everyone's attention gradually shifted away from Liu Yu, and they began to discuss the purpose of Mr. Chen Sanye calling everyone together.
Liu Yu's tense body relaxed. She lowered her head to drink tea, listened quietly, and tried to reduce her presence as much as possible.
The Chen family is a rare, comfortable and peaceful place for her, and she wants to maintain this kind of life.
"Old Third, what's the matter with you calling everyone here?"
Seeing that everyone was present, the old lady began to ask questions.
Mr. Chen San nodded, stood up, walked to the front, and spoke seriously:
"I invited all the elders and family members here today because I really have something to say."
"The situation in the court has been unclear recently. The Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince are fighting fiercely, and the other princes are also ready to make a move. I hope that everyone can control the young people below. Our Chen family will always be loyal to His Majesty."
"If I find out that someone is using my name to get involved in the power of a certain prince, I don't mind separating that branch or severing ties with them."
"It's the same with our big house."
In addition to the branch of the Chen family led by Master Chen San, there are also two brothers of the old master who are also in Yanjing. The people invited to threaten them this time include these two branches.
"Three! What happened?"
The person asking the question was the old man's second brother.
Uncle Chen shook his head: "Uncle, it's okay. It's just that the situation has been tense recently and I'm worried. I have to remind you so that you won't be embarrassed when the time comes."
"That's good, that's good, I will go back and explain."
"..."
Then people started asking anxious questions one after another. After Mr. Chen San answered them one by one, he comforted them and let them go.
The old lady left Mr. Chen San behind, and Liu Yu retreated first. When she stepped out of Shou'an Hall, she saw Mr. Chen Er who had come out before her. Regardless of the fact that Jiang Xueqing was still at the door of Shou'an Hall, he hugged Jiang Xueqing who was running towards him.
Chang, who was standing next to her, was so angry that she tightly pulled the handkerchief in her hand, and the corners of her eyes were red.
Liu Yu didn't want to have anything to do with them, so he glanced at them, pretended not to see them, and turned around to leave.
But Jiang Xueqing saw her. The people who had just come out of Shou'an Hall were all saying that the third concubine was going to be promoted to the position of mistress. She didn't believe it at first.
Seeing Liu Yuzhen coming out of Shou'an Hall, Jiang Xueqing's eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred.
Why Liu Yu?
They entered the Chen family compound together, but she was kicked out and the bitch Liu Yu was carried into the Chen family.
Later, she took great pains to enter the Chen family, but Liu Yu stepped on her again. Not only did the old lady dislike her, but the old woman Chang also gave her a bowl of safflower.
After a lot of effort, she found a way and got pregnant, but it was her fault that she had to miscarry the baby, and she could never have children again.
