Capítulo 1990: Chapter 1990: Beating Around the Bush
Gu Ya stopped.
He turned to look at Mrs. An, “Mother, if you have sothing to say, you can say it now.”
“Third son, did you see those five won in the front courtyard today? Those won are the ones I found for you. How about it? Do you find them satisfactory?” Mrs. An smiled at Gu Ya.
Gu Ya frowned. Those won were indeed found by his mother. Not waiting for Gu Ya to speak, Mrs. An continued with a smile, “Third son, I heard that your household has been looking for staff recently, those won are maids I found for you.” As she spoke, Mrs. An winked mischievously and continued, “Third son, these won are all carefully selected by for you. Each one is good. Later, you should arrange so accommodation for these maids, let the girls settle down first.”
Mrs. An was quite clever. She knew that if she directly told her son the won were concubines she found for him, Gu Ya would definitely refuse. So she said they were maids sought for the household, suggesting Gu Ya settle them in first. Once they’re in the household, Mrs. An would further persuade Gu Ya to accept the idea of taking concubines.
Gu Ya had long seen through Mrs. An’s intentions and knew what his mother was planning. “Mother, I’ve already arranged for the butler to find all the maids needed in the household. We are not short on staff. I appreciate your goodwill, but as for those girls outside, you should have them all go back!”
Gu Ya calmly rejected Mrs. An’s goodwill. Mrs. An’s expression suddenly stiffened, “Third son, I’ve brought them here, how could there be any reason to send them away? Besides, your household is so big, a few more maids and servants won’t make any difference. Just agree with , and keep these people here!”
Mrs. An tried to persuade Gu Ya. She had put a great deal of effort into finding these won for her son. If they left, her past efforts would be wasted.
No matter what, she must convince her son to let these won stay today. Mrs. An decided firmly not to easily let those won leave.
“Mother, we already have enough staff in the household. Just as you called those people here, have them leave the sa way.” Gu Ya remained unmoved, Mrs. An imdiately called out, “How could that be? Third son, haven’t you arranged a place for and your father? When your father and I move over, we can’t possibly be without a couple of maids to serve us? How about this, treat these maids as the staff for your father and I, keep them here, and when your father and I move over, let them serve us.”
Mrs. An racked her brains trying to co up with an idea. In order for Gu Ya to agree to let those won stay, Mrs. An even offered to have those won be her maids.
Gu Ya maintained a blank expression, his tone uncompromising, “Mother, if you and Father really want to move over, I’ll have the butler arrange for maids to serve you. As for these people you found outside today, I will not keep them.”
“Third son, are you doing this on purpose? Is it because these people were found by that you don’t want to keep them?” Mrs. An suddenly beca angry, and simply didn’t conceal her real intentions from Gu Ya anymore, loudly saying, “Third son, alright, I won’t hide it from you. Those won outside are not the staff I found for you. They are actually the concubines I chose for you. These won have been vetted by ; they’re from good households. If you take them as concubines, they will assuredly be gentle, considerate, and understanding.”
