Liu Hanyu hadn't expected Yun Qianmeng to ask such a question. The smile on her face froze for a moment, and then she lowered her eyes, a wry smile flickering across the corners of her mouth. With a hint of bitterness, she replied, "Being able to serve the Prime Minister and the Young Miss in this life is already a blessing for this servant!"
Yun Qianmeng listened to Liu Hanyu's inconsistent answer with a faint smile, but did not expose her lie!
Just think about it, which woman would be willing to share her husband with other women?
Even in ancient times, women were bound by the seven rules of divorce to limit their words and deeds, but deep down, they were probably extremely unwilling to take concubines for their husbands!
But this concubine Liu has neither a son nor a strong family to back her up. It is probably wishful thinking for her to suppress Su Qing with just a few days of favor!
Besides, she is not young anymore. Instead of watching Yun Xuanzhi recruit people by himself in the future, it is better for her to behave generously and appropriately now and plan these things for Yun Xuanzhi. This way, she can gain a good reputation in front of Yun Xuanzhi and make those women outside grateful to her. Moreover, she can use these women to suppress Su Qing. It is simply killing three birds with one stone. Why wouldn't she do it?
Thinking of this, Yun Qianmeng's smile deepened a little. It seemed that this Concubine Liu was also a scheming person who knew how to plan ahead. She also understood the principle of gain and loss better than Su Qing. It was the right thing for him to support her to take the position at that time!
"Although I am the eldest daughter, I am still an unmarried girl after all. It is up to Aunt Liu to handle the matter of taking someone into my father's room!" Seeing that Liu Hanyu was sensible, Yun Qianmeng felt at ease to hand the matter over to her. She believed that even if there were a few more people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it would not cause any big waves!
After Liu Hanyu heard her say this, the stone in her heart finally settled down!
After all, this big compound has many rules, and Yun Qianmeng promoted him. If she doesn't agree to this, he will never go ahead!
With the intelligence of this young lady, she must have guessed his intention long ago. Seeing her nodding in agreement, it meant that she agreed with his approach, which also made him have less resistance in doing this!
After pondering for a long time, Aunt Liu put on a smile again. She took out a few scrolls that she had already selected from her sleeves, unfolded them one by one, and said in a cheerful tone, "I have chosen four women. Please take a look, Miss. I will arrange their places later!"
Yun Qianmeng put down the teacup in her hand, looked at the portraits in Liu Hanyu's hand, and nodded faintly...
Seeing that she really didn't want to get involved in such matters as she had just said, Concubine Liu quickly put the portrait away and then lowered her voice and said, "Miss, Concubine Su's confinement is almost over. You see, the management of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng's face showed a half-smile. She glanced coldly at Liu Hanyu from the corner of her eye and said lightly, "Cousin, do you think you want to give this power to someone else?"
Hearing this, Liu Hanyu's face suddenly turned pale, the smile in his eyes froze instantly, and the word "no" inadvertently slipped out of his mouth!
However, the next second she saw Yun Qianmeng's faint smile, she realized her own loss of composure and immediately stood up in panic, lowering her head and whispering in defense, "I'm not the kind of person who would hold onto power and refuse to let go, it's just..."
Before she could finish, Yun Qianmeng raised her hand and interrupted her...
"Aunt, there is no need to be so cautious. Since I got this job for you, I will naturally not let you lose it so easily!" Pointing to the stool where Liu Hanyu was sitting just now, Yun Qianmeng signaled her to sit down again and spoke calmly!
Liu Hanyu bowed to her and sat down somewhat flattered. After hearing Yun Qianmeng's calm answer, she couldn't help but look up at her. She felt that Yun Qianmeng's expression was calm at this time, and her clear black eyes were like a piece of fine Hetian jade, emitting a charming light. For a moment, people could not detect what she was thinking!
Yun Qianmeng saw her staring at him with a somewhat dull look, and she felt amused in her heart, but her face remained calm. "What you did today will surely make father look at you with new eyes! Besides, you know in your heart that there are only women in our family. Although father may not say it, he probably still hopes for a male heir to inherit the family line! But Su has been favored by father for so long and still has no happy events. She is not as sensible as you. You can do something about this matter!"
After saying this, Yun Qianmeng stopped talking and simply opened the book she had just read and continued reading...
After this hint, Liu Hanyu immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter. His previous frown disappeared in an instant, and he stood up with a smile on his face. He apologized to Yun Qianmeng and quietly left the inner room!
"Miss, why did you help her to this point!" Seeing that only Muchun and herself were left in the room, Aunt Mi frowned and spoke!
Although she was the one that Concubine Liu had worked so hard to find, she felt guilty towards the late Madam Yun and was even more loyal to Madam Yun's biological daughter!
Yun Qianmeng couldn't help but laugh when she heard her words, as they were similar to Mu Chun's. The corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily, and she turned a page with her slender fingers. She said calmly, "Madam, you're wrong. It's better to say that you're helping yourself than helping her!"
Just imagine, Su Qing had just been confined to her room for half a month by Yun Xuanzhi, and during this half month, Yun Xuanzhi had hardly entered her room. I'm afraid Su Qing must have hated him so much by now, and was just waiting to settle the score with him when the time came!
Although Yun Qianmeng couldn't predict what method Su Qing would use to deal with her, now that Liu Hanyu was at her doorstep, she could take advantage of it and divert Su Qing's attention!
After all, it is an indisputable fact that Yun Xuanzhi does not like his legitimate daughter. Even if he has the Queen Mother as his backer, if he continues to blatantly attack Su Qing, Yun Xuanzhi will definitely be dissatisfied, and he is afraid that he will retaliate!
It would be better to rely on Liu Hanyu's help, so that we can win Yun Xuanzhi's favor without spending any soldiers!
Aunt Mi was not a stupid person. Seeing Yun Qianmeng's expression of being able to plan a strategy, her original worry gradually eased. However, she went out to remind the maids and servants in the courtyard to be more cautious in their actions and not to be caught by others!
However, just as this good deed was done, something happened at Fenghe Garden in the middle of the night...
