Chapter 8 The Emperor is Heartless and Childless, and the Concubines Make a Big Trouble



"So the Marquis of Dingping is a beast in human form! He favors his concubine over his wife, drives his legitimate wife crazy, and even ignores his own daughter."

"That's right! I heard that Marquis Dingping even forced this eldest lady to enter the palace in place of the second lady."

"Oh! That's terrible. The emperor has three thousand concubines in his harem, but he is still like a son. I heard that he is impotent."

"This palace is so deep and vast, once you enter it, you can't leave. And since you don't have any offspring, you'll just die of old age in the palace."

"Those who can die of old age in the palace are blessed. I heard that there are three thousand concubines in the harem, and all of them are restless."

When Yu Xiaoyuan heard these words, his face turned gloomy.

Now that's great, Marquis Dingping has lost all his face this time.

Yu Xiaoyuan suppressed his anger and said to Yu Jinshu, "Jinshu, go back first."

Yu Jinshu glanced towards the door and said, "I'm here to visit my mother. Father, please go back first!"

She bowed to Pei Huaixuan again, "General Pei, I'll go in first."

Pei Huaixuan said with a smile: "Jinshu, please say more good things about me in front of your mother."

Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "Of course."

Yu Xiaoyuan took two steps at a time and walked towards Yu Jinshu: "No, Jinshu, you must not say anything good about Pei Huaixuan to your mother. He is... is..."

"What is it?" Pei Huaixuan's face turned grim, and with the momentum of a thousand corpses lying in wait, he rushed towards Yu Xiaoyuan with a murderous look, "I, Pei Huaixuan, am an upright person, and there is nothing wrong with me."

The brave onlookers also started to make a fuss.

"That's right! General Pei is brave and upright, and he is deeply loved by the people. We all respect him."

"That's right. General Pei has been fighting the enemy wholeheartedly for years, treating the people well. His backyard is also clean and there are no such dirty things."

Yu Xiaoyuan was so embarrassed by what he said that he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked towards the carriage angrily. He got on the carriage and told the coachman, "Go back home."

The carriage left and the onlookers dispersed.

Yu Jinshu knocked on the gate.

It was Wen who opened the door. She had been sticking her finger against the door listening to the voices outside.

Yu Jinshu just checked the system and found that she had earned 20 points of favorability from Pei Huaixuan.

Although it’s not much, it’s better than nothing.

When Yu Jinshu came in, Pei Huaixuan looked at her through the crack of the door again. She blushed with shame and lowered her head to close the door.

After Yu Jinshu took Wen's hand and walked into the hall, he handed her the anti-wolf spray and said, "Mother, you should always carry this anti-wolf spray with you. If you encounter father who comes to take you back to the Marquis' Mansion by force, you can use it."

If I don’t explain it clearly, my mother will definitely not dare to use it.

In this patriarchal society, the education women receive from childhood is that they are accessories to men.

Wen is a weak person, and Yu Xiaoyuan is overbearing. He might try to take her back to the Marquis' Mansion by force.

As expected, Mrs. Wen looked at the strange object in her hand with a tangled face: "Jin'er, he is your father. If he really comes to take me back to the Marquis' Mansion, I can't hurt him."

Yu Jinshu felt a headache after hearing this. She took a deep breath and patiently talked about the scumbag's past: "Mother, he hurt you for eighteen years, letting you be chained in a small, shabby courtyard and never cared about you. If they hadn't wanted me to enter the palace in Yu Yunli's place a few days ago, he wouldn't have even remembered that he had a legitimate wife like you."

When Mrs. Wen heard this, her expression turned gloomy, and her hand holding the pepper spray gradually tightened.

Yu Jinshu advised again: "Mother, General Pei is a good man. If you like him, just marry him and live with him. Don't worry about anything."

When Mrs. Wen heard her daughter talk about Pei Huaixuan, her expression instantly softened. She lowered her head and didn't dare look at her daughter: "I am already old."

Yu Jinshu said, "Mother, you're only thirty-four, still young! Since you've divorced father, you have to let go of the past and find your ideal husband again. I heard that General Pei used to be very sad about his wife. His wife passed away so many years ago, and he never remarried. He just promised you that he wouldn't take a concubine. Mother, you can't find a man like him even if you search with a lantern!"

When Wen heard these words, she felt as if the stone in her heart had been lifted, and she felt relaxed all over.

Although she and Yu Xiaoyuan had divorced, she always felt deep down that she was Yu Xiaoyuan's person, so she could never let go when facing Pei Huaixuan.

What she didn't expect was that her daughter would actually support her marrying Pei Huaixuan.

After Yu Jinshu gave a few more words of advice, he left the small house.

Pei Huaixuan was still waiting outside. When he saw Yu Jinshu come out, he hurried over and asked, "Jinshu, what did your mother say?"

Yu Jinshu said, "General Pei, I have advised my mother. She has suffered 18 years of injustice, so she should be more cautious about remarrying. But I know that General Pei is a good man. If my mother chooses you, you will definitely treat her well."

Pei Huaixuan said hurriedly: "Of course. If I, Pei Huaixuan, married your mother, I would definitely take good care of her and would not let her suffer any harm."

Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "Then General Pei will have to pay more attention to my mother. I'm going home now. Goodbye."

Pei Huaixuan sent Yu Jinshu to the carriage, waved goodbye, and told her not to worry, he would take good care of her mother.

With General Pei around, Yu Jinshu was indeed much more relieved.

Next, she will take the initiative to find the male protagonist.

According to the plot of the original book, the male protagonist has no children, not because he does not have that ability, but because he is naturally cold and has no interest in women.

Of course, he wasn't interested in men either.

According to the book, the male protagonist has never met the woman he likes.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but there is not a single woman he likes. It is definitely not that there is something wrong with these women, but that the male protagonist finds the women in the palace boring and he is not even interested in taking a look at them.

In that case, she would try to create an encounter outside the palace to see if she could make the hero fall in love with her at first sight.

It would be great if I could directly get into the task of having a child.

According to the book, the hero will leave the palace tomorrow in disguise to investigate the sufferings of the people.

That night, Yu Jinshu stayed up all night and finished this messily written book.

The next day, Yu Jinshu slept until noon, got up and took a fragrant bath, picked out a moon-white shirt, and tied a dark blue waist-length skirt underneath. Her long black hair fluttered on her shoulders, and she tied it into a bun and fixed it with a wooden hairpin.

Even such a simple outfit does not affect her beautiful face at all, but only makes her look gentle yet a little wild.

While Xiao Chao was away, Yu Jinshu spent 100 points to buy a male protagonist locator in the system.

The male protagonist Chu Zan is 25 years old, 1.88 meters tall, with extraordinary looks and a cold and ruthless temperament.

Today he will make a secret visit to the West Market of the capital to understand the people's sentiments.

Most of the people in West Market are merchants, especially Hu merchants. The place is a mixed crowd. Chu Zan would be assassinated at nightfall.
