Apart from the two parties involved, only Concubine Lian knew about Concubine Shu's affair. Of course, the fewer people who knew about this scandal, the better.
Even if it is the slaves around her, she will not let them know. These girls may be bribed one day.
"I went to see you a few days ago, but you said you were not feeling well and you didn't want to see me, so you never came again!"
Xiangli didn't dare to ask too much about her master, so she simply kept her mouth shut. Her lady-in-law usually looked kind and cheerful.
He is always smiling in front of everyone, but he never looks down upon slaves like them.
"Then go and see her!"
Concubine Shu didn't want to see that woman very much. She was just a bitch born to her father and a concubine. Now she actually went to the palace and asked herself to help pave the way for her. It was simply shameless.
The night was getting thick, and the entire palace was shrouded in darkness. Xiangli and Shufei, the master and servant, came to the place where Chen Xiaolian lived. This place was not very beautiful, and it was not as good as a place where high-level servants lived.
Chen Xiaolian has never suffered like this. She is usually liked by her father the most, but she has lost a lot of weight in the past few days since she came to the palace.
Xiangli knocked on the door, and a little girl next to Chen Xiaolian ran over and asked nervously, "Who?"
"Concubine Shu wants to come over and see your concubine, please open the door quickly!"
The little girl hurriedly opened the door and knelt on the ground respectfully, "Slave, please see Concubine Shu!"
"Get up, Xiangli, wait outside for a while!"
Concubine Shu did not bring the girl in, but walked into Chen Xiaolian's room alone.
When Chen Xiaolian saw her sister coming over, her tears couldn't stop flowing down. All her grievances poured out instantly. She hurriedly ran to her side, grabbed her hand, and complained,
"Sister, you are finally willing to see me. I don't want to stay in this place anymore. I'm really scared of what kind of ghost place this is. The place I live in is not scary!"
"Actually, you can come to the palace whenever you want and leave whenever you want. You didn't want to come in before, so why did you ask your father to send you up through connections?"
Concubine Shu pushed his hand away unhappily, sat on a chair nearby, and looked at her condescendingly. Even though Chen Xiaolian was very favored in their family.
In the eyes of Concubine Shu, she is just a concubine, no different from a slave. She has never regarded her as a sister, but only as a slave born from a lowly person!
"Sister, it's not the younger sister who wants to enter the palace, it's the father who insists on letting the younger sister come in. The father also said so.
You and I, sisters, will have a care in this palace from now on. Can I bear to see my sister living in this ghost place?"
Chen Xiaolian stood aside and looked at Concubine Shu with pear blossoms and rain. She had no longer wanted to stay in this ghost place. She was obviously the daughter of an important minister, but she was put in such a dilapidated house. No one in this palace had
A humane one.
"As a concubine who has just entered the palace, it is already a gift to you to live in a place like this. Do you know that your conditions here are much better than those of others?
Do you know why there are so many crazy people in the harem? Most of them are the same as you. If you just stay there, you will collapse!"
Concubine Shu curled her lips and looked at the girl next to her with disdain, her face full of contempt for this girl.
"If you can't endure even this little bit of hardship, then why are you still in the palace?
Don't say those high-sounding polite words. My father worked hard to send you here. If he didn't get your consent, how could he be willing to do it?
Chen Xiaolian...you are just like your bitch mother, you always like to use this trick to gain sympathy from others.
I tell you, this is not the Wei Mansion, and no one wants to see you crying!
If you want to leave this hellish place, then you must find ways to be favored, otherwise, even if you die here, no one will collect your body for you!"
Concubine Shu showed no friendly side in front of this girl. She could smile at anyone, but this girl made her unable to smile.
"Sister... why are you treating me like this? We are sisters whose blood is thicker than water. In this harem, only the younger sister can be inseparable from her elder sister!"
Chen Xiaolian looked at her in disbelief. She had long heard that Concubine Shu was very popular in this harem. As long as she said a word, she would be moved to another courtyard.
But this woman not only refused to change her family, but even scolded her. She felt very aggrieved. Even if there were many conflicts at home, they were biological sisters after all, and they still had to help each other outside.
Chen Xiaolian really couldn't figure out what this woman was thinking and why she was so prejudiced against her.
"You are really despicable, just like your mother. Back then, you were worthy of my mother and sisters, but in the end, you ended up living with your father!
You are just the daughter of a maid, what qualifications do you have to be equal to me?
I’m here today just to tell you, stay safe, otherwise you won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow!”
The hostility and hatred in Concubine Shu's eyes became more and more intense. The frightened girl fell to the ground and looked at her in panic.
Chen Xiaolian was indeed the daughter of a maid, but she had been pampered since she was a child and was really frightened by the ferocious face of the woman in front of her.
"Sister...sister knows that she was wrong. I will never dare to ask my sister for anything again!"
Chen Xiaolian knelt on the ground and grabbed the hem of her skirt in panic, begging bitterly, "Please don't hurt me, sister. I really want to help my sister when I enter the palace!"
"You are not worthy of helping me! In this deep palace, no one can be trusted, including my own relatives.
But since your father has sent you here, I can’t leave you alone. Don’t you want to get the emperor’s favor?”
Concubine Shu suddenly stood up and pinched the girl's chin, looked at her condescendingly and said, "I will help you arrange the time. As for whether you can seize this opportunity, it depends on yourself!"
"Sister...sister knows that she is wrong. I don't dare to have wishful thinking, and I don't dare to compete with my elder sister for the throne..."
Chen Xiaolian looked at the evil woman in front of her with tears in her eyes. Concubine Shu's delicate face looked nothing but ferocious, as if she was a different person, which was intimidating.
"How can that be done? You are the hope of our family. The Wei family might have collapsed without you.
Remember your original intention of entering the palace, Chen Xiaolian is Chen Xiaolian, don’t always match up with my sisters!"
Concubine Shu slapped her hard, and the smile on her lips became thicker and thicker. Chen Xiaolian was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe, covered her face and cried bitterly.
"I will send someone to inform you of the time and place. If you can't complete it, then what's the use of staying in this palace!"
Concubine Shu poked Chen Xiaolian's forehead hard and said through gritted teeth.
