Regardless of whether Aunt Lin wants it or not, it is certain that the new Aunt Liu will live in Shuangxinyuan.

Regarding the two concubines, Mrs. Li didn't want to see either of them more. She ordered Aunt Lin to go back and clean up the room quickly, then assigned two maids to Mrs. Liu, and let the two of them go down.

Seeing Aunt Lin reluctantly leaving, Daohua smiled and sat down next to Mrs. Li: "Mom, what's going on with Aunt Liu? Didn't my father go to the banquet?

Why did you bring back a woman?"

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter, thought for a while, and felt that she should talk to her daughter about some things, so as not to break the agreement when she gets married in the future and encounter the same thing.

"The Liu family was given to your father by Counselor Du. She used to be from the Du family's backyard."

Daohua was stunned, and then asked with wide eyes: "Aunt Liu used to be Senator Du's concubine?"

Mrs. Li was silent for a moment. It was not easy to talk to her daughter about what happened in this man's room now, so she could only say vaguely: "...The room should have been confiscated."

Daohua was speechless: "Even if this is the case, I should be panicking! I think there is really something wrong with Senator Du in his mind." Men are very sensitive to the color green, so this was presented to them openly.<

/p>

Mrs. Li: "......" Does her daughter understand her reaction, or does she not understand it?

Daohua asked again: "Okay, why did Senator Du think of giving his father a concubine?"

Mrs. Li sneered: "Do you know why your father has been the county magistrate for nine full years?"

Daohua immediately understood: "Because of this Senator Du?"

Mrs. Li nodded: "When your father was first assigned to Zhongzhou Province, he unintentionally offended this Senator Du, and then he was suppressed by him." After saying that, he touched Daohua's head.

Smiled.

"The old lady said that you are the lucky star of the family. If you hadn't saved the young prince by chance, your father would never be able to turn around in his life."

"This time, the matter of wheat planting was reported to the imperial court by the Governor. Now that the emperor attaches great importance to mulberry farming, your father is going to leave his name with the emperor."

"No matter whether your father will be reused in the future, in short, it is difficult to make enemies again. So, taking advantage of this banquet, Counselor Du grabbed a few officials and gave Mrs. Liu who was with him to your father."

"If your father doesn't accept it, he just doesn't want to reconcile. With so many people watching, what can your father do? He has no choice but to accept it."

Daohua was speechless: "This Senator Du really doesn't have a bright mind. He has many ways to reconcile. Why must he give me a concubine? Wouldn't it be better to give him something else, such as gold, silver, calligraphy and painting? This is no better than a concubine.

Is concubine more practical?"

Mrs. Li sighed and said slightly sarcastically: "Giving gold, silver, calligraphy and painting is so vulgar. If someone knows about it, it might be said that it is bribery, but it is different with a concubine."

"Some men usually have one or two young and beautiful concubines with them when socializing abroad. In their opinion, giving concubines to each other is an elegant thing, and how can it be compared with yellow and white things."<

/p>

"Do you know who Aunt Liu is? It's a Yangzhou thin horse bought at a high price. Judging from your father's tone, many officials wanted to ask Senator Du for it, but Senator Du didn't give it to him."

"..."

Daohua didn't know what to say, she just felt her heart was filled with panic.

In ancient times, the status of women was really too low, and they were given to each other like goods.

The good mood that arose due to Aunt Lin's displeasure disappeared instantly.

"In that case, Aunt Liu is quite pitiful."

Mrs. Li lowered her eyes and said calmly: "As long as she behaves herself, the Yan family will give her a bowl of rice."

Daohua sighed.

Seeing that her daughter's face was wrinkled like a little old lady, Mrs. Li was a little amused: "Okay, you just know these things, there's no need to worry about it here."

After saying that, he didn’t say much. He took a look at the sky and waved to Ping Xiao: “Go to Shuangxinyuan to see how the house is being tidied up? Tell Aunt Lin that it must be done before dark.”

"Yes."

Seeing Ping Xiao leaving, Daohua was diverted: "Aunt Liu is now living in Shuangxinyuan. Master Lin will not be able to come in and out at will in the future, right?"

......

Shuangxinyuan.

Aunt Lin looked at her with an ugly face as the maids and women came in and out to tidy up the west wing. What made her even more panicked was Mrs. Liu, who was standing neatly in the yard.

Especially seeing Liu's beautiful face and body that is younger and more enchanting than her.

Since entering the Yan Mansion, although she has heard of many concubines going to great lengths to fight for a little favor, she has never experienced it.

There are only two people in the master's room, the madam and her. The madam was born as a merchant and is more dignified. She is not as popular with the master as she is. She doesn't need to compete for his favor at all, and she wins the favor of the master.

Over the years, apart from being a concubine, her life has really been no worse than that of some wives. When she was in the county town, she could still socialize with some ladies.

For a long time, she did not feel that she was a concubine.

But at this moment, looking at Mrs. Liu who was about to move into Shuangxinyuan, her heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar. All the previous thoughts of pride, joy, and thinking that she was different were gone.

She is just a concubine!

A concubine who needs to live in the same courtyard with other concubines and compete for their favor.

Shuangxinyuan......

Looking at the plaque on the courtyard door, Aunt Lin was a little stunned.

She still remembers how happy her husband was like a child when she gave birth to twins.

In order to express her joy, the courtyard where she lived was named Shuangxinyuan.

She originally thought that this favor was exclusive to her and her children, but when she looked at Mrs. Liu in the yard, she was shocked to discover that this favor could also be shared.

Shuangxinyuan will no longer be the Shuangxinyuan before.

At the entrance of the courtyard, Yan Wenbin and Yan Yishuang also looked at the maids and women busy in and out of the courtyard with sad faces.

"Fifth brother, do you think dad no longer likes mom and us?" Yan Yi's eyes were full of panic.

Yan Wenbin pursed his lips: "It's not that dad doesn't like us, it's just that... he has to share some of his love for us with others."

Yan Yishuang was stunned: "After eldest sister came, dad likes us less. Do we still want to share it with others now?"

Yan Wenbin looked at Mrs. Liu in the yard and said nothing.

Yan Yishuang pouted again: "Dad only has so much time every day. With the addition of Liu, there will be fewer opportunities to accompany us in the future. However, we have less time, and my mother and eldest sister also have less time.

, then let’s fight together.”

"My mother is pregnant with my younger brother now. My father will definitely favor us. No one else can compete with us."

Yan Wenbin smiled bitterly: "There is no need for mother and eldest sister to fight. We are always the only ones fighting for favor."

He may have understood the difference between the main wife and the concubine; the first wife and the concubine before, but after coming to Xingzhou City for more than a year, he finally understood it.

No need to look at anything else, just take Aunt Liu who was brought home by her father.
