Capítulo 1448: Chapter 1448: Starting from the Rear Courtyard

In her view, Minister Cheng coming to her room at this hour must be for so serious business; it would never be for consummating their marriage with her, this old woman.

Thinking this over, she decided to change back into her clothes.

Minister Cheng rushed into Madam Cheng’s room in a flurry, just as she had changed back from her sleeping clothes.

Seeing this scene, he felt a bit embarrassed, realizing he had indeed neglected his lawful wife over the years. Even though they wouldn’t share the sa bed anymore, he should still visit her more often.

“Madam, are you planning to sleep?”

Madam Cheng smiled as she finished dressing, “Since you are here, my lord, I won’t hurry to bed. Is there sothing you wish to discuss with ?”

Minister Cheng hurriedly replied, “Indeed, there is sothing I need to discuss with you.”

His use of the word “discuss” made Madam Cheng pay more attention.

They sent all the servants away and closed the door before speaking slowly.

“Madam, I heard you’ve been on good terms with Madam Lu these past two years?”

Madam Cheng was montarily stunned, then watched Minister Cheng cautiously and laughed suddenly, “Why are you suddenly interested in matters between us won, my lord?”

Minister Cheng laughed heartily, “There’s a way for our family to regain its forr glory, but it requires your involvent, Madam. What do you think about this…”

Madam Cheng’s eyes lit up, noticing Minister Cheng’s cautious expression toward her, she felt a sense of superiority and said, “Your words are quite formal, my lord. As husband and wife, we share both honor and disgrace. Restoring our family’s forr glory is my responsibility as well. Whatever you need, just let know, and I will do my utmost. But I also hope you rember: the master is the master, and the concubine is the concubine.

No matter how fond you are of the young concubines, do not forget their status. They are re playthings for a man and should not be brought into public view. And the children born to concubines are illegitimate; their status is not equal to that of legitimate children. Even if illegitimate daughters marry the legitimate sons of others, they will only be concubines!”

A cold gleam flashed in Minister Cheng’s eyes, but he lowered his head and repeatedly agreed.

Madam Cheng was pleased with Minister Cheng’s attitude before she asked, “My lord, tell , what do you need my help with?”

Minister Cheng squinted his eyes, lowering his voice, “Invite Madam Lu here discreetly, and it would be best to also invite the young Madam of the Lu Family.”

Madam Cheng’s mind raced for several monts before she was suddenly startled, “The young Madam of the Lu Family is a daughter of the forr Ducal Residence family. You’re talking about restoring the family’s forr glory, could it be…”

“Shh… Madam, it’s best that you understand without saying it out loud!”

“Oh dear, if this fails, it could end in the execution of our entire household. My lord, perhaps we should discuss this further,” Madam Cheng expressed her disapproval. Although their life now was not as prosperous as before, it was far better than the Ducal Residence, whose entire family was executed.

Minister Cheng’s face turned stern as he snorted coldly, “Fortune favors the bold. How can one achieve imnse wealth without taking great risks? You are too timid, woman!”

Seeing Minister Cheng’s displeased expression, Madam Cheng closed her mouth.

Minister Cheng continued, “Do you think we can remain safe and sound as we are now? Dream on!”

“What? Didn’t the Emperor say no one except those from the Ducal Residence would be pursued?” Madam Cheng’s expression changed.
