"Madam is making a scene again?"
"Hey, get back to work. Servants are not allowed to comment on the master's affairs, or you might be sold out by the madam," said the nanny sternly.
The young maid shuddered, remembering that when the lady first came in, she was dissatisfied with the young master having a concubine, so she sold the concubine directly. She didn't know what the outcome would be, but it was a gamble with her life after all.
Selling is a crude method, but it is extremely effective. At least the maid no longer dares to think about climbing into the bed.
The old lady was a little dissatisfied, but considering that the lady was new, she didn't say anything.
The new wife was Wuxue, who had just married into the family. She was the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor, had a noble status and outstanding looks. No matter where she went, she was always popular.
But since she married her current husband, Shen Jinran, her status is far lower than before. Her husband's parents passed away early, and her mother-in-law is in charge of the family. Her friends are all married to sons of high-ranking officials and nobles of the royal family. Only she can enter this noble family. Her parents said that the Shen family has a good family tradition, but in her opinion, they are just some pedantic scholars, and her husband is like a wooden man, strictly observing etiquette in everything, and hiding in the study most of the time reading and writing.
When she first got married, she felt extremely aggrieved and felt that her life should not be like this. In the bridal chamber, Shen Jinran saw that her expression was cold and seemed to be resentful, so she slept in the study and ordered the servants not to tell the old lady.
Later, Xi Wuxue met his concubine Piaoyun, a timid woman.
She was furious, thinking about her own father-in-law, Shen Jinran was just a scholar, she was already full of grievances for marrying down, how dare he have other women, she rushed to the study and pointed at Shen Jinran and said: "Shen Jinran, what qualifications do you have to take a concubine? If I see you taking a concubine in the future, I will go to my mother and tell her. You are from a poor family, and marrying me is your greatest honor, why do you have two hearts?"
Shen Jinran clenched the brush and slowly loosened it, saying in a deep voice: “This is my fault.”
It was not his wish to marry her at first, as he knew his family was poor and he had never dreamed of marrying a noble lady from a wealthy family. However, because he had won the first place in the provincial examination, the imperial tutor praised him for his extraordinary knowledge. He also heard that his family was of noble character and had produced great scholars and academicians of the academy, so he bluntly expressed his desire to marry his daughter to him.
Because Piaoyun had done him a favor, he took her as his concubine. He did not dare to hide this matter and told the tutor. The tutor said nonchalantly, "It's just a concubine. It's not a big deal."
Seeing that the tutor had not changed his mind, Shen Jinran promised not to take a concubine again in his life.
She believes that as long as husband and wife treat each other kindly, support each other and live in harmony, they can live a happy and fulfilling life.
But he didn't expect that Wuxue looked down on him from the beginning, despised him for being unromantic and looked down on his family.
The apology that the girl had for being a concubine had gradually disappeared in the face of her cold treatment.
Later, Xi Wuxue took advantage of the old lady's illness and sold the concubine out.
It was impossible for Shen Jinran to treat the heroine wholeheartedly like the previous Shen Yuzhan. He watched Piaoyun being sold out, not daring to offend the tutor, and suppressed his dissatisfaction without saying a word, but the relationship between the couple dropped to freezing point.
