Mrs. An gritted her teeth.
Su Yunjin feigned a sudden realization, as if she had just understood sothing, and turned to look at Mrs. An, "Mother, I see that the five girls in the courtyard are all excellent, and since you carefully selected them, why don’t I just let my husband keep all five of them as concubines for my father."
Mrs. An was so furious that her face turned red, and how could Su Yunjin say such things? Those won were clearly the concubines she painstakingly chose for her son Gu Ya, and now Su Yunjin was suggesting giving them all to Gu Ya’s father as concubines?
"Third daughter-in-law, those five won in the front yard were chosen as concubines for your husband by . I’ve already discussed this with him. Now that you’re here, it’s just perfect. Later, you’ll go and arrange living quarters for all five of them. From now on, they’ll be your sisters, and you sisters must get along well, and together serve your husband." Mrs. An, extrely agitated, burst into sarcastic laughter.
She also instructed Su Yunjin to prepare rooms for those won. Su Yunjin pretended not to understand, "Mother, those five ladies are father’s concubines, so there’s no rush to arrange rooms. I think it’s better to wait until our father sees those five won, and my husband and I will arrange rooms for them then."
Su Yunjin smiled innocently, making Mrs. An stomp her foot in anger again, "Third daughter-in-law, did you not understand what I said? I said they are concubines for your husband. Why would you show them to your father? He’s too old to take concubines now!"
"Mother, I think my father is in his pri, so there’s nothing wrong with him having a few concubines. In the future, you and they will be sisters, addressing each other as sisters, and together you can better serve father, right?" Su Yunjin used Mrs. An’s own words against her, deliberately repeating what Mrs. An had just said.
Mrs. An’s face darkened, "Third daughter-in-law, don’t push it too far." Each word was forced out through gritted teeth.
Su Yunjin continued to smile brightly.
"Mother, I’m doing this for father’s good, to find him concubines, wasn’t that your intention?" Su Yunjin’s words nearly caused Mrs. An to faint from anger, "My intention? Third daughter-in-law, when did I ever say I wanted to give your father concubines? Those won are the concubines I found for your husband, don’t talk nonsense."
"So, you’re unwilling to find concubines for father?" Su Yunjin asked knowingly.
Mrs. An huffed irritably, "Third daughter-in-law, your father’s affairs are managed by , so you don’t need to worry about it." Naturally, Mrs. An was unwilling to find concubines for Gu Chengxiang.
Su Yunjin followed up, "Mother, since that’s the case, I’ll handle my husband’s affairs, and you don’t need to worry about them either." Mrs. An wanted to find concubines for Gu Ya, but did she consider whether Su Yunjin was willing?
Mrs. An glared at Su Yunjin.
"Third daughter-in-law, after all this talk, you don’t agree to your husband taking concubines, right?" Mrs. An finally understood that Su Yunjin had co to stir up trouble.
This ti, before Su Yunjin could speak, Gu Ya looked at Mrs. An and said, "Mother, enough, I won’t take concubines. I’ll have the butler send those won away imdiately."
"Soone!" Gu Ya called out towards the door. The butler ca in from outside. Mrs. An, seeing the butler, imdiately blocked his way, "My dear, those won are the concubines I worked hard to find for you, you cannot send them away."
