The father-in-law and son-in-law separated and watched Duke Li's carriage leave. Then Tutor Bei turned around and got on his own carriage.
Behind the curtain, Master Bei's face turned cold.
The Li family's hands are stretched too far.
Once he has a son, don't blame him for being unkind and unjust.
"Master Bei"
A voice outside the carriage made Master Bei pause. He lifted the carriage curtain and greeted, "Duke Rong."
"Master Taifu, are you free to come to my country's villa for a drink?"
"This..." Master Bei wanted to refuse.
"I have something to ask the Grand Tutor, so I hope you will do me a favor."
"You are too polite, Duke Rong."
Master Bei agreed, and the carriage headed towards the villa of Duke Rong.
Duke Rong is a branch of the Ning family, the biological mother of the retired emperor.
Empress Ning's family was wiped out by Emperor Taizong. After the retired emperor ascended the throne, he adopted Duke Rong from a branch of the Ning family.
Duke Rong was also sensible and took a sinecure in the court, living a rich and idle life.
This was the first time that Master Bei's carriage was stopped. Since the emperor was fond of his mother's family, Master Bei naturally had to give them face.
Duke Rong's villa is also in the capital. When Master Bei arrived there, he was surprised to find that it was a den of beauties.
Duke Rong looks honest, but he actually hides his secrets so deeply.
This was the first time that Master Bei indulged himself. If it were the old him, he would have left as soon as he saw such a scene.
But now there are singing and dancing, and people are drinking wine and watching the dance. Even if the wine doesn’t make them drunk, they are still drunk.
Master Bei's eyes also became blurred. When Duke Rong saw this scene, he felt that it was about time.
Pushing his adopted daughter forward, Master Bei took her in.
I also spent a night in the villa of Duke Rong.
He didn't come back all night, and Mrs. Li was already furious.
The next morning, someone asked around and learned that Master Bei had asked for leave and did not attend the morning court. Li was still wondering what had happened to Master Bei.
Unexpectedly, Master Bei brought back a charming concubine, who was the adopted daughter of Duke Rong.
The position promised to her was that of a noble concubine.
"Bo Lang, you..."
Li was really sad at this moment.
I didn't expect that Master Bei had just taken in a concubine a few days ago, and today he took in a concubine.
Taifu Bei smiled bitterly, "Madam, you don't know, but Wanniang is actually the concubine of Duke Rong. I mistook her for Madam last night."
"What's her name?"
Li choked on her breath.
"Li Wan'er, late in the morning and late at night."
After hearing what Master Bei said, Li's face turned ugly.
The first time Li saw Li Wan'er, she felt a sense of crisis. Not only was she charming and beautiful, but she also had a figure that would make men bleed from their noses and women jealous.
Not to mention, their names are homophones.
Li's name was Li Wan, and Li Wan'er took her mother's surname.
Although because of the same name, the drunk Master Bei mistook Li Wan'er for Li Wan'er, but Li just felt disgusted.
Because she and Master Bei had a loving relationship, Master Bei affectionately called her Wan'er in private.
Now, being scammed by a concubine's daughter, Li felt more disgusted than swallowing a fly.
Master Bei didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
But after one night, he was extremely satisfied with Li Wan'er.
"Wan'er..."
Master Bei originally wanted Li Wan'er to serve tea to Li, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he met the gazes of the two women.
A fierce look and gnashing teeth.
One with a shy and affectionate look.
Vixen!
Li almost went berserk.
However, having been the mistress of the household for so many years and being born into a noble family, Li managed to calm herself and said in a deep voice, "The word 'Wan' has a bad connotation. From now on, you should be called Li Wanwan, the 'Wan' as in 'pill'."
Li emphasized the last four words.
Li Wan'er was not unhappy at all, and even smiled and thanked Li, "Thank you, Madam, for the name."
"Maru, serve tea to the Madam."
As soon as Master Bei said this, Li felt upset again and regretted giving her child such a name.
Maru, you call me so affectionately.
This man is indeed heartless. She had misjudged him before.
"My concubine Wanwan serves tea to Madam."
Li Wanwan knelt respectfully in front of Li, holding a teacup.
Li narrowed her eyes and looked at him, but did not take the tea immediately.
Li Wanwan kept shaking, and tears poured down her eyes like pear blossoms in the rain.
"lady"
Master Bei felt that Li had gone too far.
"I'll drink this cup of tea. You can offer another cup to the lady."
Master Bei snatched the teacup from Li Wanwan's hand and dropped it to the ground with a thud. His face was furious. "Who served this tea? It's so hot."
As he spoke, Master Bei looked at Li Wanwan's hand, which had already become red and swollen, and he couldn't help feeling distressed.
He stepped forward and held Li Wanwan's hand, "Silly girl, why didn't you tell me the teacup was hot?"
"Thank you, Master Taifu. I'm not hot, I can offer you more tea."
Li Wanwan looked at Master Bei with pleading eyes.
Master Bei was stunned and looked towards Li, and saw the anger on Li's face.
"Wan'er"
"Don't call me Wan'er, I'm not Wan'er."
The Li family exploded.
"She's just a concubine, Madam. Why do you have to be so harsh? After all, she's the adopted daughter of Duke Rong. This is all my fault for ruining Wanwan's innocence. If you want to blame someone, Madam, blame me. Accept Wanwan's tea first."
As Master Bei spoke, he asked someone to bring the tea over and personally tested the temperature before handing it to Li Wanwan.
Li watched helplessly and felt like tearing Li Wanwan apart.
The couple had been in love for more than ten years. Now in middle age, Mrs. Li never thought that she would encounter such a bad thing one day.
When she attended a banquet for noble ladies in the past, other noble ladies envied her so much because Master Bei doted on her the most, and the concubines were just decorations for many years.
But now she truly felt the gnashing hatred of those noble ladies.
Of course, there are also some wealthy ladies who don't care about concubines at all.
She originally thought that she was one of them and treated concubines as nothing.
Now I realize that I overestimated myself.
She couldn't bear to see that Master Bei's mind was on another woman.
Even though she was just a concubine and did not threaten her status, she could not accept it.
"Come here, whoever made and served the tea, expel this Taifu from the Taifu Mansion."
When Taifu Bei said this, Li Shi felt even more humiliated. She took the teacup, took a sip, and said in a low voice, "That's enough. Madam, I'll take the tea. Taifu, take your concubine and leave."
Master Bei asked the housekeeper to take Li Wanwan away and settle her down, while he stayed in the main courtyard to coax Li.
But he didn't realize that although he was willing to coax Li in the past, his mentality is different now.
The same goes for Li. Her mood hasn't changed. She just feels that the gap during this period is too big.
Just because the eldest daughter of a concubine became the queen, Master Bei, who had always doted on her and obeyed her in everything, changed completely.
"Go away, go away. This lady doesn't want to see you."
"lady"
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Li's emotions suddenly exploded.
At this moment, she was extremely aggrieved and angry.
"Okay, Madam, don't get excited. I'll come see you another day."
As Master Bei spoke, he directed his orders to the maids and servants in the main courtyard, "Serve your wife well, or I will hold you to account."
