Chapter 1084: The loyal maid promoted to concubine (4)

Gui Yunlai finally relieved his depressed mood a little after being persuaded by the two maids. After getting up and washing up, he slowly drank the lotus seed soup.

"Rendong, the last time you came to tell me that your parents have arranged a marriage for you. It's with your cousin, right?" Gui Yunlai let Rendong wipe her mouth and then asked.

Honeysuckle blushed instantly, but still nodded and answered generously: "Yes, Princess, my parents have informed you before, and you are so kind and generous that you agreed to my marriage with my cousin."

"So when are you planning on getting married?" Gui Yunlai asked again, and then he sighed, "The three of us grew up together, I married the prince early, and you've also been engaged, time really doesn't spare us..."

"You are still young, Princess, so there is no need to be sad. Besides, even if I get engaged and married, I will still stay by your side and serve you." Honeysuckle said softly.

Rendong is different from Duxiang. Duxiang was sold to the Gui family by her parents when she was four or five years old and became a rootless slave in the Gui family. But Rendong's whole family were originally slaves of the Gui family. After Gui Yunlai got married, her family came to the Anding Marquis Mansion as Gui Yunlai's companions and continued to serve Gui Yunlai.

"You are a loyal person, and I don't want to be separated from you and Du Xiang." Gui Yunlai smiled and said.

Then she casually asked Du Xiang: "Du Xiang, you are old enough now, what do you think about your marriage? If you like someone, just tell me and I will arrange it for you."

As Gui Yun spoke, she looked at Shi Chu steadily with her peach blossom eyes. Although her expression was gentle and she seemed to care about Shi Chu very much, Shi Chu could see the temptation in her eyes.

Shi Chu lowered her eyes and replied according to the original owner's wishes: "My dear Princess, I don't have any idea about marriage, and I haven't set my eyes on anyone. I don't plan to get married in this life. I just want to stay with you for the rest of my life."

It is impossible to be together for a lifetime. Shi Chu said this now just to reassure Gui Yunlai. After all, who doesn't want their slave to revolve around their master for a lifetime?

Of course, as a kind and gentle master, Gui Yunlai couldn't be so ruthless, so she glared at Shi Chu in reproach and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, girl? How can a good girl not get married? Your master is not one of those people who mistreat servants. How can he bear to see you have no place to stay for the rest of your life? Okay, okay, I will help you choose a good husband in the future, don't say those stupid things anymore."

Shi Chu thought to himself that you did choose a husband for the original owner and generously shared your husband with her, but she was not willing to do so. In the end, you had to completely destroy that poor woman who had no choice.

If the original owner had known that he would end up like that, he might have fought to the death rather than obey his loyal master.

Gui Yunlai had a smile on his face, but he looked at Shi Chu carefully. The original owner had a good-looking face, with red lips, white teeth, and a slim figure. She had the pure beauty of a lotus emerging from the water. She was a pretty little beauty. Of course, if the original owner was not pretty enough, she would not be qualified to be the maid beside Gui Yunlai.

Gui Yunlai seemed to realize for the first time that his maid had an extraordinary appearance. If she was not a slave but a lady from a wealthy family, then the people who came to propose marriage would definitely have broken down the door.

Although Gui Yunlai used to rely on Du Xiang, he felt that her personality was too quiet and dull, unlike Rendong who was eloquent and likable. Therefore, even though she was good-looking, she had no charm.

But now she doesn't think so. Although she hasn't figured it out yet, Gui Yunlai keenly feels that Du Xiang seems to be different from before, as if a dull puppet has been injected with a living soul and become lively.

Gui Yunlai couldn't help but think of what the old lady of Marquis Anding said to her in the morning after she called her over. The old lady scolded her for being jealous by nature and not tolerating other women around her husband, but she had not been able to give birth to the next generation of the Marquisate for a long time. She said that she was not a qualified prince's consort and asked her to prepare well and choose a concubine who was easy to give birth to for the prince.

Gui Yunlai had originally planned to ignore her mother-in-law's words, but for some reason, when she saw Du Xiang, an idea suddenly popped into her mind: If she must find a concubine for her husband, why not find Du Xiang, who knows her background well, has no one to rely on except her, and is loyal to her?

Gui Yunlai thought a lot uncontrollably, even considering the pros and cons of promoting Du Xiang to a concubine. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was the most appropriate.

But after all, she still wanted to be with her husband for the rest of her life, so after just thinking about it, Gui Yunlai suppressed this idea deep in her heart. She also wanted to try to have her own child with her husband.

Gui Yunlai had many thoughts in her mind, but her face remained expressionless. She waved her hand to let Rendong and Duxiang go, and began to practice calligraphy to calm herself down. She has always been a strong and patient person, otherwise she would not have gone from being the daughter of a minor official who was not loved by her father and stepmother to marrying the powerful son of Marquis Anding. So she did not panic because of the reproach from Marquis Anding's wife and make an impulsive choice.

When it was almost dark, the prince Zhang Qishan finally came back from his shift. Shi Chu took a look at the actor and found that he was indeed tall and strong, with an elegant demeanor and a good-looking appearance.

Anyone who can become the protagonist naturally won't be ugly, but this male protagonist, apart from caring about his female protagonist and doting on her, is as cold and ruthless to other women as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

It was obvious that he was the one who couldn't control Gu Qianwang, but he blamed the original owner for the mistake. In the end, he even treated the original owner as a tool and abused him. He is such a disgusting person.

Shi Chu suppressed his inner disgust and helped him change his clothes. He also helped set the table and prepare meals for the two of them.

When Zhang Qishan saw Gui Yunlai, he was like a black bear seeing honey, and he stuck to him tightly. Even Rendong, who was used to seeing them getting along with each other, couldn't help blushing when she saw them doing this every day.

Honeysuckle and Duxiang went out to wait for them while they were eating. They didn't like having outsiders watching them while they were eating, so every time this happened, Duxiang and Honeysuckle could relax for a while.

"The Crown Prince and his wife are so loving." Honeysuckle couldn't help but sigh, "It would be perfect if they had another child."

Shi Chu agreed nonchalantly: "Yes, maybe, our master is really lucky."

"Du Xiang, have you really decided not to get married for the rest of your life?" Ren Dong remembered what Shi Chu had said before, so she asked curiously, "Don't you want to have someone to rely on and have some cute children?"
