Chapter 258 None of them is easy to deal with.
"My sisters have seen that the Fourth Master is shy. Madam, please don't blame them." Song said this with a smile, her eyes drifting towards Liu with a hint of contempt in them.
A few of these short-sighted people acted like this just after seeing the Fourth Master. If he were to receive the favor in the evening, wouldn't they rush to his side? It's hilarious!
"You're right," Ulanara said with a smile on her face. "Seeing how well you two get along, I'm relieved. From now on, sisters should support and help each other."
Everyone agreed after hearing this. Li looked at her and raised her eyebrows. She said indifferently, "Fujin is very magnanimous. We are really far behind."
Their wife is really getting more and more powerful. She didn't care about her face when she was fighting with me earlier, but now she can put on such a magnanimous face?
Looking at the women surrounding her and glaring at her, Li smiled coldly and turned her head away indifferently.
She wanted to see if the wife would be generous enough to let these women give birth to the children.
Ulanara took in Li's expression, but she just stared at her and said with a smile, "Of course. If I weren't broad-minded, how would Sister Li dare to speak to me like this at this moment?" Ulanara's smile did not diminish, but the sharpness in her eyes was faintly revealed.
Li can't stand me, but so what?
She was the legitimate wife! Looking around, apart from her eldest sister-in-law, which legitimate wife was not open-minded?
Only the legitimate wife could be worthy of the words "broad-minded", something that Li Shi could not envy.
"What do you mean, Madam? I am usually very respectful to you." The smile on Li's face faded a little.
"We sisters know clearly whether it's respectful or not. Fortunately, our master is back. He has always been a stickler for rules. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer have to face the weird faces of others all day long."
"You!" Li's face flushed red, and she clenched her fists tightly. After all, she knew that there were many people in the outer courtyard now, and she didn't want to give them a chance to talk. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Seeing that Li actually held back, Ulanara felt a little bored and just looked indifferently in the direction where the Fourth Master left.
Song looked at this and then that, and finally couldn't help asking, "Didn't they say Sister Wen was going with Prince Beile this time? Why didn't I see her just now?"
The fact that the Fourth Master took the warm wine out with him had always been a thorn in Song's side.
This damn woman, the Fourth Master originally said that he would not take anyone out with him, and Fu Jin had promised to talk to the Fourth Master about it, but the Fourth Master flatly refused. Who would have thought that he would take that woman with him again!
Now, the prince has returned alone. Does that mean that the woman Wenjiu died in Jinyang?
I heard that there's a lot going on in Jinyang City, and there's even a plague...
Thinking of this, his eyes became brighter.
Liu, who was standing behind him, was suddenly surprised when she heard this: "Sister Song, didn't they say that there were only a few of us with Prince Beile? And who is Sister Wen...?"
Liu frowned deeply. She heard that the prince did not bring anyone with him when he went to Jinyang this time. How come a sister Wen suddenly appeared?
As soon as these words were spoken, Yin and Niuhulu behind them could not help but look towards Song.
Speaking of which, they had been in the mansion for a short time, so they had never heard of the matter of warming the wine.
In fact, the servants did it on purpose, just because Wenjiu's identity was a little special.
This person is the master's personal maid. She has been domineering in the mansion for many years, and later used some dishonorable means to get into bed. Not only does the female master dislike her, but even the servants are very annoyed with her.
Just when everyone thought she was going to fall, she still won the favor of the Fourth Master. And the favor he received was almost as good as that of the previous concubine.
In the servants' view, Wenjiu was a taboo, and they avoided mentioning it if possible. First, they didn't want to offend Wenjiu, as she was not someone to be trifled with. If they did offend her, they would certainly suffer. Second, they didn't want to upset the wife, concubine, or princesses.
"Sister Wen..." Song gritted her teeth slightly and smiled, "She is the concubine that Prince Beile took in a few days ago."
After hearing this, Liu's expression relaxed a little: "Sister, why are you still so polite to call her Sister Wen? Isn't a concubine just a toy?"
Liu was a little unhappy, and so was Song. Both she and Song were princesses, so it would have been fine for her to call her Sister Liu, but why did she also call those lowly servants Sisters?
Aren't you treating yourself as the same as that lowly maid?
"Sister Song, do you mean that when the prince went out, he took this sister Wen with him?" Yin asked gently.
When Liu heard this, she immediately frowned: "Yes, Sister Song, why do you bring a concubine to serve you?"
Even though it is not convenient for both the wife and the concubine to go out, there is still Sister Song.
Song clenched her fists slightly, then sighed slowly. "Originally, it was me and... well, forget it. Sister Wen wanted to go, and she's in better health than I am, so she can take good care of Lord Beile. As long as it's good for Lord Beile's health, what else can we complain about?"
He said this with a lost look and lowered his head.
Liu looked at Song with surprise, "Sister, you actually endured it?" She didn't expect that a lowly maidservant with the status of a concubine would dare to snatch the job of a princess? She was really brave!
Yin and Niuhulu also had some surprise on their faces at this time, and obviously they didn't expect that there would be such a person in the mansion.
Song continued to lower her head with a lost look, without saying a word.
When Li saw Song's look, she curled her lips in disdain.
This woman has been here for so many years, but she still has only a tiny bit of skills.
I didn't expect that these newcomers could be fooled by her.
How can the woman who warms the wine be described as just a concubine?
Before Beile left, she was still in her courtyard and forcibly took Beile away. In the early years, before she entered the palace, Wenjiu had already served Beile. It was not wrong to say that she and Beile had a childhood friendship.
Song was quite clever and sent the concubine away with just one sentence: "She was just a newly-accepted concubine."
However, she was too lazy to remind those who had just entered the mansion.
Seeing that none of them is easy to deal with, it might be better to let them have a try first.
Earlier, Zhao Quan had sent her a letter saying that Wenjiu had been quite popular recently, but he didn't know if he had made any progress since his absence.
