Chapter 1484: 1484 takes a concubine 1
Minxiang nodded, “The Xiao Clan is one of the first-class families with power and riches; having an ugly servant girl would only sha the owner. There isn’t a single unsightly servant girl in the Mansion.”
Upon hearing this, Su Zhenzhu pouted, “Fine, I won’t sell you then.”
Minxiang thought to herself that you’re barely qualified to carry my shoes, yet selling ! But she said out loud with gratitude, “Thank you, girl Zhenzhu.”
“Later, when I beco your Lady, within the Xiao Family Mansion, you must report to any little thing that happens,” Su Zhenzhu declared as if she had conferred a great favor.
Minxiang knew this dull and gauche country girl would absolutely never beco her master, the young Master wasn’t blind, “Yes.”
“Enough about that, why keep dwelling on a servant girl,” Su Dashui interrupted. “The key issue now is how to get Chuan’er to take Zhenzhu as a concubine.”
“Uncle, I don’t want to be a concubine…” Zhenzhu shook Su Dashui’s arm, “I want to be a wife, like my brother-in-law’s cousin sister…”
“Get real, you need to know your place. Considering our family background, it would already be a blessing for you to beco even a concubine for Xiao Yuchuan, let alone a wife!” Su Dashui snapped at her with a pop to the head.
Su Zhenzhu cried out in pain, “Uncle, why did you hit ? Cousin sister has the sa family background as , isn’t she the main wife of her brother-in-law?”
“Your cousin sister married him when Xiao Yuchuan was poor…”
“But Lady Xiao said that cousin sister knew of her brother-in-law’s identity long ago.”
“Your cousin sister is as beautiful as a celestial being, are you half as beautiful as her?”
Su Zhenzhu pouted her lips, “Fine, I’ll be a concubine then. Uncle, waiting for my brother-in-law to accept takes too long, and with cousin sister’s temperant, she is sure to not agree. You might as well ask Master Xiao and Lady Xiao to directly command my brother-in-law to take .”
“This…” Su Dashui hesitated slightly.
“Uncle, you just agreed,” Su Zhenzhu pretended to cry, “why won’t you now?”
“It’s not that I won’t, I’m just afraid Lady Xiao won’t give that much face.”
“Lady Xiao is so kind to you and Auntie, she’ll agree,” Su Zhenzhu coaxed. “Besides, what’s the worst that can happen? You won’t lose an ounce of flesh even if she refuses.”
“I should go instead,” Su Qin suddenly volunteered.
“Old woman, what’s co over you?” Su Dashui was puzzled.
She glanced at Maid Minxiang, evidently not wanting her to overhear the conversation that was to follow, and Minxiang tactfully excused herself.
Only then did she say, “I have a premonition that Lady Xiao will definitely agree.”
“Why?” Su Dashui was utterly baffled.
“I’ve figured it out, the relationship between the daughter and son-in-law is extrely good. Lady Xiao sent for us from so far away precisely to undermine their relationship.”
Su Dashui’s eyes flashed with warning, “Zhenzhu, you must not cause trouble; Cousin sister is still your own blood after all.”
“I know.”
“I’ve heard that Lady Xiao was originally planning to have Xiao Yuchuan take several more concubines, but Yue’er refused. Lady Xiao was annoyed by that,” Su Qin spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction. “Cousin sister is really too idealistic, thinking that as the legitimate son of a first-class family, her husband could possibly be devoted to her alone! She’s just too vain because of her beauty. If our daughter would help us, we wouldn’t need to involve Zhenzhu at all, but she doesn’t even seem to acknowledge us as her family. To avoid being cast out by her one day, it would be better for Zhenzhu to be with Chuan’er.”
“Madam sees it clear,” Su Dashui hastened towards the outside of the courtyard, “I’ll go speak to Lady Xiao right now.”
“You old man, just a mont ago you were reluctant, and now you’re trying to take the credit…” Su Qin also followed, stepping up the pace.
