Who will be the mistress of the house?

Yue Lingxi's domineering and somewhat arrogant words once again caused shouting and cursing in the ancestral hall, but it soon disappeared!

The Lu family members who were shouting and cursing discovered that neither the head of the family, Lu Ren, nor the four elders of the family, nor Lord Shangguan who was paying respects outside the ancestral hall, said a single word of rebuttal!

Obviously, he also agreed with Yue Lingxi's unorthodox words!

This is very interesting. This dandy boy recognized by the Lu family is obviously not as bad as they think!

"It is naturally easy for the Lord of Youzhou to give an imperial edict to his concubine! But the marriage with the Shangguan family is settled today." Lu Ren deliberately emphasized the word "concubine".

"Master, please forgive me for not obeying your order!" Yue Lingxi's resolute refusal surprised Lu Ren greatly. Such a major matter involving etiquette and law was most likely to cause public outrage! Did Yue Lingxi really not care?

"You! You! You! Yue Lingxi, do you really want to betray your family for a concubine?"

"Master, why should I leave the house? You also said that parents' orders and matchmaker's words are the moral code of human relations! How can I not obey them? How dare I not obey them!"

"Besides, who told you that Liu Buqi was my concubine? Uncle, please read this in the ancestral hall. It will also be considered as clearing Buqi's name!"

Yue Lingxi took out a red card from her body and handed it to Lu Xin who was standing beside her.

After Lu Xin took it, he looked through it carefully, suddenly a look of joy appeared on his face, and he began to read aloud!

"Now there is a twelve-year-old daughter of the Liu family named Feiyu, who has volunteered to become a concubine in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion!"

This was the red card that the Liu family used to sell their daughter to the Marquis' Mansion as a concubine. Liu Feiyu is the real name of Liu Buqi's body!

Liu Buqi had some impression of the content on the red sticker back then, but he didn't know what Yue Lingxi was going to do with it!

Then Lu Xin read out a passage that Liu Buqi had no idea about!

"There's a sudden death in the mansion, so it's not suitable for marriage. Liu's daughter will be taken into Lingxi's room and raised as a child bride!"

"Yue Chen's name from Anguo Mansion!"

This was the red slip that was added when Yue Lingxi's nominal father Yue Chen confronted the old lady in front of the old man's spirit that day and transferred Liu Buqi to Yue Lingxi's room as a child bride!

After Lu Xin finished speaking, Lu Ren's face turned pale! This kind of red notice will definitely be recorded in the government!

Liu Buqi was exiled to Yanjing along with Yue Lingxi. Now it seems that she was used as a child bride! Otherwise, she wouldn't have been exiled together with Yue Lingxi!

Although both concubines and child brides were bought into the mansion and their status was almost the same, there was a huge difference between child brides and concubines!

It’s this word “媳” (daughter-in-law)!

A concubine has absolutely no chance of becoming a wife, but a child bride can become a wife if her in-laws approve of her, or her husband agrees, or her children are good enough!

Countless child brides in the folk have become mothers-in-law after many years of being daughters-in-law!

In general, official families would not have such a status as a child bride. They could just get her to be a maid. Why would they need her to have an identity that people would yearn for?

It just so happened that Liu Buqi was brought into the house as a concubine for the old man to bring good luck. During the struggle in the Anguo Mansion, she was inexplicably stuffed next to Yue Lingxi, and thus she had this superior identity!

Yue Chen herself or no one in the Anguo Marquis's Mansion would take this identity seriously. They could just change it to a concubine after a while, but the Marquis's Mansion was raided and the family was exterminated.

The original red sticker registered with the government was given to Yue Lingxi by Nanny Bai.

Now we can definitely bring it out and clear Liu Buqi’s name!

Liu Buqi was somewhat stunned as he watched the reversal of the situation. All the coincidences had come together! This could only be attributed to his own incredible luck!

Although Yue Lingxi did not see any surprise in Liu Buqi's eyes, he had long been accustomed to her eccentric style of doing things, and just said it jokingly.

"When I first met you, I told you that becoming my wife or concubine is a matter of my word. I want you to serve me well from now on!"

Liu Buqi pinched the back of the hand that was tightly clenched around his own, not caring that Yue Lingxi was trying hard to endure the pain and didn't dare to grimace.

It’s rare to be able to watch a play in a relaxed manner, it’s really nice!

"Yue Chen is yours..." Lu Ren's exasperated voice was just beginning to utter, when Yue Lingxi interrupted him rudely, "Yes, Liu Buqi is the eldest son of the Marquis of Anguo, and my father betrothed her to me as a child bride!"

"Today, in front of the ancestors of my mother's family and all the elders and children of the clan, I officially confirm that Liu Buqi is my, Yue Lingxi's, legal wife!"

"From now on, if anyone treats my wife as a concubine, don't blame me for speaking ill of you!"

After saying that, Yue Lingxi pulled Liu Buqi back to his seat, and the Lu family member next to them tactfully gave up their seat to Liu Buqi!

The dispute over status in the ancestral hall has come to an end. From now on, Liu Buqi's status as the legal wife and the mistress of Youzhou will be announced to the world!

Lü Ren clearly knew that he had run out of tricks and no longer had any means of turning the tables! Then, under Lü Yi's call to impeach the head of the family, the situation came to a dismal end!

Lu Xin, Yue Lingxi's uncle, naturally became the new head of the Lu family!

…

He leisurely walked out of the ancestral hall holding Liu Buqi's hand. The following speech by the new head of the family was not suitable for him, an outsider, to attend.

Shangguan Yan and Shangguan Luoyang were still at the door, obviously waiting for them.

"General Yue's thunderous power has cleared away all obstacles. From now on, he will soar to the sky!"

"My daughter is quite pretty, why not give her to General Yu as a concubine?"

Shangguan Yan is indeed a capable person. His words and deeds make people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze. He said the words about sending a woman in front of Liu Buqi, which gave enough face to the mistress of the house!

Yue Lingxi was busy changing the subject, "Master Shangguan, you are joking!" Liu Buqi was also very satisfied with his performance, and said to Shangguan Luoyang with an apologetic look:

"Miss Luo Yang, although we each serve different masters, it's truly sad to see weak women like us resort to violence!"

"I want to apologize to you on behalf of my maid. This is the medicine she personally mixed. It's very effective and won't leave any scars!"

Shangguan Luoyang had suffered a series of blows this time, and his arrogance had been greatly reduced. Although he took the medicine, he still couldn't help but ask Liu Buqi a question.

"Sister Liu, do you care about having a scar on your body?"

Liu Buqi was actually a little confused by this question. She casually lifted her arms and the hem of her skirt, revealing part of her calves, which had several scars of varying depths.

"When you are in Youzhou, you will inevitably get injured while learning horse riding and archery. However, the clothes will cover it up, so it's not a big deal."

Just a few casual words made Shangguan Luoyang bow willingly.

Liu Buqi, who was even more confused, simply stopped thinking about it and turned around to look at Shangguan Yan with a half-smile:

"Sir Shangguan, if I were you, I wouldn't have the time to chat here right now. I'd have to leave Jinan Prefecture and run for my life!"
