A co-wife? What is this?
If they were not forced to do so, who would want something that would obviously bring unrest to the family?
The Duke's wife was naturally kind, and her health wouldn't allow her to get angry. Furthermore, out of respect for the Crown Prince and the Imperial Concubine, she managed to be patient and politely rejected Madam Mi's request.
Mrs. Mi and Concubine Mi, mother and daughter, have similar personalities: they tend to be easily carried away. A little sunshine will make them extremely bright.
The Duke's wife's affable demeanor instantly flattered Mrs. Mi, who felt incredibly happy. She thought, "I knew it! Her daughter is now a noble concubine, and her grandson is the emperor's only son!" And now, the Duke's wife, whom she hadn't even had the right to see before, is now being so polite to her.
She naturally thought that once she proposed something that would benefit both parties, the Duke's wife would definitely agree.
But she was rejected.
Mrs. Mi's face suddenly turned unhappy, and her words seemed a little impolite.
The Duke's wife felt a tightness in her chest and a dull pain in her head when she heard this.
The maid Liyun politely interrupted her and said that the Duke's wife needed to take medicine and rest. If Madam Mi had nothing else to do, she could go back.
Mrs. Mi was dissatisfied, but she did not dare to express her dissatisfaction.
When she came here, she didn't hold high hopes for the matter of having a concubine. She felt that she was barely able to bear it. Okay, then let's take a step back. The Mi family has risked everything for the eldest prince. If she doesn't want to be a concubine anymore, she can at least be a concubine, right?
The Prince of the Duke of Liguo's Mansion was truly getting a great deal. You have to know that the girl the Mi family was planning to send as a concubine was their most outstanding and outstanding one. If they didn't even bother, what reason did the Duke of Liguo have to refuse? That was too speechless.
The Duke's wife was speechless at this moment, and her expression was indescribable!
Are the girls from the Mi family so casual?
Is it possible to bargain over such a thing?
If being a concubine doesn't work, then being a concubine is fine. If being a concubine doesn't work, then being a concubine or a maid is also fine?
The Duke's wife felt that Mrs. Mi would really think it was okay.
But she can't
The Duke's wife lowered her eyes and said nothing, tacitly approving Liyun's act of seeing the guest off.
Mrs. Mi was anxious and surprised. The niece of the Imperial Concubine's family was a concubine of the Duke's son. How respectable it was to say it out loud. Wasn't she worthy of it? The Duke's wife disagreed. What was that?
Mrs. Mi thought about it again and felt that the Duke's wife must have tacitly agreed. She simply said that she would send the girl from the Mi family to her soon. Since she was a concubine, there were no so many rules and etiquette. After all, the Duke's Mansion would not treat her badly. They trusted the Duke's Mansion very much.
From now on, we're all family! The Imperial Concubine and the Crown Prince will definitely not mistreat the Duke of Liguo's Mansion in the future.
The Duke's wife was so angry that she almost fainted. She called her maid to whisper something to her, and then she had to speak herself to interrupt Mrs. Mi's own plans: the prince has no plans to take a concubine, so the Mi family's kindness should be ignored.
Mrs. Mi was extremely embarrassed and a little bit incredulous: This is such a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern, so the Duke of Liguo Mansion really refused it like that? They were actually willing to give it up!
Mrs. Mi wanted to say something, but the Duke's wife half-closed her eyes and was not in the mood to speak. The servants and maids asked Mrs. Mi to leave without saying anything.
Mrs. Mi's humiliation turned to anger, and she muttered to herself, "Has the Duke of Liguo's family become arrogant? They don't even take the Imperial Concubine seriously. If they're so ungrateful, then we'll see what happens. Are the Mi family and the Imperial Concubine forced to ally with them? If they lack vision, there will surely be others who do."
Mrs. Mi was walking out while thinking angrily, and happened to meet Zhao Liya halfway.
"Mrs. Mi!" Zhao Liya called her over with a smile, saying, "What a rare guest! I've never seen Mrs. Mi come to visit before!"
This was not a very pleasant thing to hear, and Mrs. Mi was feeling very upset at the moment, so she found it even more irritating.
Mrs. Mi didn't dare to do anything when facing the wife of Duke Liguo. After all, she was a big shot that she couldn't afford to offend.
Facing a junior like Zhao Liya, Madam Mi, relying on her status as the Imperial Concubine's biological mother, was not so polite. She said with a smile: "Why? Can't this lady come to your house? Who is the Madam of the Crown Prince telling this weird thing to?"
Zhao Liya sent the maidservants away with a look, took two steps forward, smiled softly, and said in a low voice: "Of course I'm telling it to Madam Mi."
Mrs. Mi opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Zhao Liya: "I have already declined the request in front of the Imperial Concubine. Why did Madam Mi bring it up again? Madam Mi doesn't mind the trouble, but my mother-in-law can't stand the noise and interruption. Madam Mi, if you have anything else to do in the future, please come to me directly and don't bother my mother-in-law anymore. I can still handle this matter!"
Mrs. Mi sneered, "Zhao, you are so domineering. Do the Duke's wife, the Duke, and the Crown Prince really know about this? What right do you have, what right do you have—"
"As the wife of the Crown Prince, Madam Mi, please stop overthinking. I absolutely will not agree to your family's proposal. This is also what the Crown Prince intended! Let's all give each other some face. If a quarrel really breaks out, it won't be a good look!"
"you--"
"I have said everything I want to say. Please come in, Mrs. Mi!"
"snort!"
Madam Mi was so angry she was speechless. "Just wait and see!" This bitch, when the Duke and the Prince find out that she was the one who harmed the Duke's Mansion, we'll see what happens to her! Just because of what she said, the Duke's Mansion can't even form an alliance with the Mi family. The Mi family will not forgive such a person!
Mrs. Mi left angrily, with a lot of things in her mind, waiting to complain to Concubine Mi after entering the palace.
Zhao Liya smiled secretly. She knew what this person was thinking without even thinking.
Not bad.
Isn't it just a complaint? Go ahead!
Quickly bring this weirdo family down so that the eldest prince won’t have to worry about being caught in a dilemma from time to time in the future.
That child is really lovable.
Not having a reliable mother is the worst thing that can happen to a child.
Zhao Liya glanced calmly at the lush rose barrier, and then a figure flashed by. She smiled and looked away, pretending not to see it.
On this day, the wife of Xunyang Marquis held a banquet and invited all the ladies to gather and listen to an opera. Madam Zhou Er and Madam Zhou San somehow got the invitations, dressed up and went hand in hand.
This was a gathering of middle-aged ladies. The ladies at most brought their unmarried girls to join in the fun. The young ladies did not participate, so Zhao Liya did not go either.
