Chapter 344 Conspiracy

Mrs. Wu has been thinking a lot these days.

The entire Wu family relies on her dowry to maintain its superficial splendor, and will never agree to her divorce. She married into the Wu family as a high-class marriage, and her parents would not allow her to do anything reckless.

In order to monopolize her dowry, the best way is to let her die in the Wu family.

Staying in the Wu family for one day, the crisis will increase.

Selling Yan Que will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the entire Wu family, especially the old man Wu Li, who might accuse her of being jealous.

She actually gave Yan Que a chance. But after so many days, Yan Que had no intention of confessing to her, and even flirted with Wu Li behind her back.

Just when she was hesitating about how to deal with Yan Que, Jian Ruonan came.

It was Jian Ruonan who gave her the confidence to sell Yanque.

She couldn't stay in the Wu Mansion any longer. Since she couldn't leave, she could just go crazy, which would make life difficult for everyone.

But Jian Ruonan said, "This person can't be sold!" If she was

sold, Wu Piaochong would come back and make a scene, and Mrs. Wu would be the one who would be upset.

Being jealous is not a good reputation.

If you want to divorce, you must do it in a dignified manner, with your head held high.

Madam Wu: "Xiao Jian, what do you think we should do?"

Jian Ruonan: "She's pregnant now, so make her a concubine. Give her a few maids to serve her, and give her some clothes and some jewelry."

The wet nurse frowned: "Isn't that too cheap for her? It's better to sell her."

Jian Ruonan: "If we sell her, the old man will miss her all his life. Make her a concubine, and give her a separate courtyard, and arrange the courtyard next to Li Chenchen."

Madam Wu thought about it carefully, her eyes lit up: "Xiao Jian, this is a good idea!"

Li often found excuses to lure Wu Li to the courtyard to hang out, but she didn't dare to interfere. Now she would send Yanque over and let Yanque and Li fight.

Madam Wu: "Xiao Jian, you are so young, how can you think so clearly?"

"Actually, this is not difficult." Jian Ruonan: "Madam Wu has Lord Wu in her heart. When she first heard that Yan Que was pregnant, she was jealous. Now that Madam Wu has considered herself and completely given up Lord Wu, she is angry that Yan Que betrayed her master when she heard that Yan Que was pregnant."

[Translated, if there is no man in your heart, you will naturally be able to draw your sword! ]

[Love will only slow down the speed of your sword drawing! ]

Madam Wu: "..."

Madam Wu sighed. No wonder Jian Ruonan was able to gain the favor of the emperor at such a young age. With this kind of heart, few people can compare with her.

Madam Wu immediately asked someone to drag Yan Que back and gave her a face-saving aunt. She was rewarded with four new clothes, two golden headpieces, three maids, and a separate courtyard next to Li's Lotus Fragrance Pavilion.

Yan Que's life had never been so up and down.

Since she was promoted to concubine, she didn't think much about it. She just thought that the lady slapped her and gave her a sweet date. Maybe the lady hoped that she would keep the old man in her arms and let the old man remember the lady's kindness and go to the lady's courtyard more often.

In Yan Que's heart, the lady was still the good lady who worked hard for the mansion.

That night, Yan Que dressed up beautifully and waited for Wu Li to return home at the door of the hanging flower gate.

~

Li Chenchen is the old lady's niece.

She and Wu Li grew up together since childhood, but because her family was not rich, she was not favored by the old lady.

She didn't marry well. After her husband died, she was kicked out by her husband's family because she had no children and was restless.

After being kicked out by her husband's family, she came to the Wu Mansion to visit the old lady, took the opportunity to seduce Wu Li, and then was left to help Mrs. Wu take care of the two children.

Li Chenchen is a teacher in the Wu Mansion. In addition to the tuition, she also has clothes for all seasons, which is also according to the share of young ladies. The courtyard she lives in is also more elegant.

When she learned that Yan Que had taken up the concubine and moved next door to her, she felt uncomfortable, but she had no reason to object. She immediately made some snacks and came to Wu Xinxin's room.

"The mansion is really lively today." Li Chenchen told what happened in the mansion.

Wu Xinxin was furious when she learned that her sister-in-law had spent a lot of money today: "Every time she excuses that the family has no money, I have to postpone my poetry club until next year, and I can't make more clothes in the spring."

"You can't do this or that every day. Do you have money to make clothes for poor relatives and concubines?!"

Wu Xinxin was so angry that the purse in her hand broke.

Li Chenchen advised: "I want to make new clothes for my sister, but I don't have the ability."

The implication is that some people have the ability but not the intention.

"By the way, how is my sister's dowry prepared?"

Speaking of this, Wu Xinxin became even more angry. Other girls' dowries are at least several shops and thousands of acres of fertile land, but her dowry is only an oil shop.

My sister-in-law has at least 30 or 40 shops. Will she die if I give her a few more? !

When she marries into her husband's family, she can get more dowry and be looked up to by her husband's family.

Li Chenchen advised: "Sister, don't be anxious. If you have any worries, talk

to your aunt. Don't hold it in and get sick." "Sister-in-law is the softest. You should explain it to her clearly. She will definitely not refuse."

Wu Xinxin threw away the broken purse in her hand. "Yes, if she doesn't give it, I will go to mother. If mother asks her for it, I don't believe she dares to refuse!"

Wu Xinxin is the youngest girl in the mansion. She has been spoiled since she was a child. She has a domineering personality and will act impulsively when provoked.

She immediately left Li and ran to the old lady's yard with a grievance.

Wu Li came back from outside and saw Yan Que waiting at the door as soon as he entered the mansion.

He put his arm around Yan Que's waist and skillfully pulled her into the rockery in the yard, and asked, "What's going on today? Are you not hiding anything? Who gave you the courage to wait for me here?"

Yan Que couldn't stop smiling: "Madam is kind-hearted. When she learned that I was pregnant, she made me a concubine. Now I am no longer the maid Yan Que, but Concubine Yan."

Wu Li was a little unhappy.

After becoming a concubine, it was open and aboveboard, and there was no feeling of sneaking around.

He did not show it, just said a few words and then came out of the rockery.

Yan Que: "Master, I made soup for you. Come and sit with me when you are free."

Wu Li waved his hand to show that he understood.

~

Yan Que waited in the yard until dark, but no one showed up.

After a while, he heard Wu Li's laughter coming from the next yard.

For several days in a row, Wu Li came to Li Chenchen's yard.

Yanque was just sulking in the beginning, but one day, she suddenly heard the maidservant in Li Chenchen's yard whispering: "Yanque has gone to the aunt's house, why has the master never been there? Didn't I hear that the master has been coveting Yanque for a long time?"

"Hey, you don't know, the master likes to steal. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. Yanque is not good-looking to begin with, and now that she has passed the Ming Road, it is normal for the master to lose his freshness."

Yanque's yard was separated from Li Chenchen by only a wall. That night, Yanque sneaked through a hole in the wall to peek in.

You don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it.

Wu Lizheng was swinging on the swing in the yard with Li Chenchen in his arms.

Yan Que had long known that Wu Li and Li were having a secret affair, but she had never expected that Li would be so bold and open about it.

Yan Que gritted her teeth and ran to Madam Wu's yard to complain: "Madam, the old man went to Li's yard, and I saw Li and the old man cuddling together."

After hearing this, Madam Wu's face showed a trace of anger: "Is this true?!"

Yan Que: "Madam, I saw it with my own eyes, it's absolutely true!"

Madam Wu was so angry that she took out a handkerchief, covered her mouth and coughed for a while, her face was red from coughing, "Although the cousin's behavior is shameful, I can't do anything about it except scolding her behind her back."

"The cousin is the old lady's niece, and it's not Madam's business." Jian Ruonan interrupted: "Yan Que, just pretend that this matter never happened."

The implication is that except for scolding her a few words, Madam can't do anything.

But if she becomes a concubine, she can do it. After the open road, the old man is not new.
