Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
The look on Concubine Mei’s face changed instantly, and Yu Linglong smiled coldly.
How dare she show her face last time, and now she was begging her?
Of course she knew what Concubine Mei was about to say, and Yu Qianyun knew what she was doing, she knew better than Concubine Mei.
Sure enough, Concubine Mei began to complain about how Yu Qianyun intervened in the Yu house’s internal affairs and how she interfered in her various decisions. But she was a serious lady of the Yu house. She was just a concubine, and she couldn’t refuse what Yu Qianyun called “a.s.sistance.”
Listening to Concubine Mei’s complaint, Yu Linglong just looked at her quietly, with her beautiful, calm face.
She just wanted to see how Concubine Mei would deal with the Fifth Lady. This was an observation of Yu Qianyun and a test of Concubine Mei.
It was a pity that Concubine Mei disappointed her. She was just a trivial matter, but she couldn’t think of a solution. She couldn’t even fight against Yu Qianyun. So she thought she would come to ask her for help?
She can’t help someone unconditionally forever. If she had to take care of everything, then what was the use of Concubine Mei as a puppet?
Concubine Mei mentioned the things that Yu Qianyun had secretly tripped her up with these days. The more she talked about it, the angrier she became. Even Yu Linglong’s expression was ignored. She just kept venting her dissatisfaction and kept her stomach full. The bitter water poured out: “…Fourth Lady, don’t you know that the Fifth Lady is really a bit too much? There will be a lot of things next year, and she has to intervene in everything, and all the accounts must be checked in person, check a little on the 3rd, check a lot on the 5th. I want to get some money from the accountant and confess to her that I really can’t get the Fourth Lady’s dividend. Fourth lady, I’m really embarra.s.sed…”
Concubine Mei spoke for a long time, but when she raised her head, she met Yu Linglong’s cold eyes, and she couldn’t help but stop.
Yu Linglong’s eyes were so sharp that she seemed to see through her tricks easily. Concubine Mei only felt that her back was swishing, and she lowered her head subconsciously, not daring to look at Yu Linglong.
Would the Fourth Lady believe her?
Confused, Concubine Mei glanced at Yu Linglong’s face and whispered, “Fourth Lady, look at this…”
Yu Linglong said coldly: “What does this have to do with me?”
She only needed money. As for the other things, why should she be in charge? Concubine Mei and her were in a relationship that used each other, why would she help out again and again?
Hearing Yu Linglong’s words, Concubine Mei changed her face slightly: “Fourth Lady, you can’t say that. You also have your share of the silver. If you don’t help me figure out a solution, could it be that you just want to take your share?”
Seeing Concubine Mei’s att.i.tude became tough, Yu Linglong laughed instead of being angry.
Oh, this was the temper of a leader. It seemed that Concubine Mei, the manager of the house, had been doing this for a long time. She really had a bit of majesty as the head of the house, and she no longer whispered at her appearance that day.
It’s a pity that no matter how powerful Concubine Mei was, in Yu Linglong’s eyes, she was just a clown.
Did she dare to provoke Yu Linglong? It seemed that Concubine Mei felt that her life was too comfortable, and she wanted to find herself uncomfortable.
Taking a sip of tea slowly, Yu Linglong said indifferently: “Since you are going to be in charge of the Yu house, you should think that there will be such a day. Do you think this position is easy to sit in?”
Although the Yu Mansion was not a high-ranking family, after all, it can be regarded as a solid family. There were so many people in the Yu Mansion. Who didn’t want to get a share? Did Concubine Mei think she can do whatever she wants with the power of a housekeeper? Her idea was too simple.
Concubine Mei snorted heavily, staring at Yu Linglong and said, “Of course I know that this position is not easy to sit in. If it was good, why would I ask you for help?”
Concubine Mei was still somewhat self-aware. In her capacity, it was really unjustifiable to want to control the Yu house, and she could only rely on the power of others.
But now it was different. There were fewer and fewer masters in the Yu Mansion. Apart from General Yu, there were only three commoner’s daughters: Yu Qianfang, Yu Qianyun, and Yu Linglong. Concubine Mei’s position in Jade Mansion was the only one with General Yu. Why was she still afraid of them? No matter how good Yu Linglong was, she was the manager in the Yu house now!
At this time, Concubine Mei had been blinded by the scenery in front of her, and she had completely forgotten what Mu Shi’s ending was like. All she had in mind was that she was proud of her own glory and wealth. With this respect, she didn’t need to be afraid of anything.
Yu Linglong calmly looked at Concubine Mei’s provocative gaze and said, “If you don’t even have this ability, what qualifications do you have to manage this house?”
Concubine Mei stood up. The smile on her face was swept away, and she said with a faint threat in her tone: “So the Fourth Lady is not going to help?”
Yu Linglong sat steadily on the chair, her face indifferent: “Right, I won’t help you.”
“Okay!” Concubine Mei was very angry. Her delicate brows and eyes revealed hostility, and she said in a vicious voice: “Then the Fourth Lady must not want her thirty percent!”
After that, Concubine Mei turned around and walked out. She didn’t believe it. Without Yu Linglong’s help, wouldn’t she not be able to fight Yu Qianyun?
Yu Linglong didn’t want to help her at all. She knew about Concubine Dong last time!
From that time on, she had already had the idea of breaking with Yu Linglong. It was a good thing that things had gone to the point where they were today. At least from now on, she would no longer have to pay Yu Linglong money out of her own pocket!
Every now and then, she asked Yu Linglong for help because she didn’t have the ability, but now, she had a firm foothold in the Yu house, and she was trying to stir up trouble, so why should she be careful with a commoner’s daughter!?
Yu Linglong glanced at her back and said something.
“You definitely won’t regret it.”
Concubine Mei paused, but after all, she didn’t look back, and she went straight out.
When she walked to the corridor, Concubine Mei’s tight body relaxed slightly. This Fourth Lady was too difficult to deal with. Every time she saw her figure and heard her voice, she would unconsciously become nervous.
She really didn’t know how she, a commoner’s daughter, could have such great power.
The last words Yu Linglong had just said echoed in her ears and Concubine Mei couldn’t help but shiver.
This time she completely ruined her relationship with Yu Linglong. She should be prepared, for the other party’s revenge will come soon…[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “
Concubine Mei lifted her hand subconsciously and placed it on her bulging belly. With General Yu on her side and an upcoming child in her belly, what else was she afraid of?
Hearing the footsteps of Concubine Mei leaving, Ling’er, who had been listening for a long time, finally walked out uncontrollably and said: “Miss, this Concubine Mei is too mad! Did she forget how you helped her before? How could she behave like this today!?”
Unlike Ling’er’s anger, Yu Linglong was very calm, as if everything was within her expectations.
“Ling’er, remember, not all people will be rewarded with grace.”
She had seen too many people like this. In her previous life, wasn’t she just avenged by grace?
Therefore, she will never do good deeds, be a kind person, say she is selfish, or call her cold. She is her, and she will not care about anyone’s opinions, and will not care about anyone’s actions.
For Concubine Mei, she was bitten by a dog, and naturally it would not affect her mood.
It’s just that if you are bitten by a dog, it can’t bite for nothing. Even if you don’t kill it and eat it, you have to beat it with a stick, so that its skin and flesh are broken, so that it doesn’t dare to bite her again.
Ling’er on the side was still furious, and said angrily: “Miss, can this be the case?”
Yu Linglong sneered. Of course, she couldn’t just leave it alone. How could it end well if someone offended her!?
After thinking for a moment, Yu Linglong slowly showed a cold smile on her face, beckoning Ling’er to come over, and said something like this.
Since you want to fight the dog, you must be fast and cruel. She preferred to fight quickly.
…
Since turning her face to Yu Linglong, Concubine Mei had been more careful. She knew that she had offended Yu Linglong, and Yu Linglong would definitely not let her go.
She also knew a lot of the methods in the inner house. In the past few days, she had been on guard, even when eating and drinking, she had to check if she had been poisoned, and she had to order a dozen maids and working women to guard her while she was sleeping, for fear that Yu Linglong would bring someone in.
Several days pa.s.sed, but the Yu house was as calm as usual. Nothing happened. Concubine Mei could not help but wonder. After another thought, maybe Yu Linglong was afraid of her and didn’t want to be more troublesome.
People can deceive themselves. Concubine Mei was now proud of her success, and she couldn’t help but think that she was better than Yu Linglong, who was destined to suffer a lot.
In less than a month, Concubine Mei was about to give birth. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and her body was getting more and more c.u.mbersome. She had to get up several times at night. In order to not disturb General Yu’s rest, she moved to the West Wing a few days ago, waiting for the birth.
That night, Concubine Mei in the West Wing closed the door early as usual, and General Yu was alone in the main room with the solitary lamp. He was really lonely and intolerable. After drinking a few gla.s.ses of wine, he felt a little sleepy.
While lying on the bed, there was a sudden knock on the door, and a clearly stressed and anxious voice called: “Master, master!”
General Yu was awakened and looked extremely impatient, and said loudly, “What’s the matter?”
The knock on the door stopped, and a trembling voice said: “Master, please go and take a look. Auntie is about to give birth!”
“What!?” When General Yu heard this, his sleepiness disappeared, and he got up.
As soon as the door was opened, a faceless little maid was standing outside the door tremblingly. She was obviously frightened and didn’t even dare to lift her head: “Master, Concubine Mei is crying about a stomachache. Go take a look!”
General Yu raised his head and looked towards the West Chamber, only to see faintly lit lights over there. It seemed that there was a figure shaking, and he couldn’t help but become anxious. Without asking more questions, he strode towards the West Wing.
The little maid behind saw that General Yu was heading in that direction and slipped away quietly.
General Yu walked to the door of the West Chamber, raised his fist, and hit the door: “Open the door, open the door!”
A woman in a coat quickly opened the door and said respectfully: “Master.”
General Yu saw that the door in the inner room was closed tightly, and the women guarding outside were all sleepy-eyed. He couldn’t help but wonder: “Didn’t it mean Mei’er was about to give birth? What’s the matter?”
The woman was taken aback, and hurriedly said, “Auntie is going to give birth? Did…did the servants hear anything?”
General Yu felt even more strange, and when he looked back, he saw that the little maid had disappeared long ago, and he couldn’t help being confused.
Seeing that General Yu did not speak, the women did not dare to speak any more. A clever woman hurriedly walked to the door of the inner room, put her ear on the door and listened carefully for a while, and said to General Yu: “Master, I don’t hear anything inside. What’s going on—”
Before she finished speaking, they only heard the sudden movement of broken porcelain in the room, and there was a slap, which was particularly harsh in the middle of the night.
General Yu’s heart suddenly became suspicious. Just now he saw that the lights were still on in the West Chamber. Concubine Mei was obviously not asleep, but when she heard him coming, Concubine Mei didn’t go out to greet him!?
He heard the sound of the porcelain falling, but the person inside still didn’t make a sound. What happened?
General Yu immediately shouted: “Mei’er, Mei’er! Are you inside?”
After a pause, Concubine Mei answered with a trembling sound from the room: “Master, don’t…don’t come in yet!”
Hearing this sound, General Yu was completely stunned. He had been with Concubine Mei for so long, and this was the first time Concubine Mei rejected him.
No matter how stupid he was, he knew that something happened.
Thinking of Concubine Mei still carrying his own child in her belly, General Yu could no longer hold back his temper. He strode to the door of the room and kicked the door open.
Seeing the situation in the inner room, everyone present was stunned.
Concubine Mei was only wearing her underwear. Her hair was messy, her face was flushed, and she was silently entangled with a half-naked man.
Seeing General Yu come in, Concubine Mei and the man stopped.
The man reacted very quickly. As soon as he saw someone coming, he immediately turned back and got out of the window, which he was obviously very familiar with.
When Concubine Mei saw General Yu, her face suddenly turned pale. Her feet softened and she knelt on the ground, her tears streaming down uncontrollably: “Master…”
General Yu wanted to rescue a damsel in distress, but unexpectedly, he was cuckolded, and his face instantly turned pale.
Concubine Mei dragged her c.u.mbersome body, with tears on her beautiful face, and she said intermittently: “Master, I was just about to fall asleep. A man came from somewhere and had to jump in from the window…”
Concubine Mei was obviously frightened and she couldn’t cry: “I resisted desperately to keep my innocence, sir, you have to believe me—”
She was not a fool. Of course she knew what the consequences would be when General Yu saw the scene just now, but how would she explain it? Would General Yu, who loved her and spoiled her, believe her?
General Yu’s big hand was creaking. Looking at Concubine Mei’s pitiful crying appearance, he couldn’t help but wave his hand and slap her severely.
