Chapter 76 Preparing to Take a Concubine for the Prime Minister
Su Yue looked at Su Xin, who was smiling, and Xiao Duo, who was standing next to her and quite close to her.
"Pa pa pa," Su Yue slapped Xiao Duo three times. Xiao Duo was stunned. Meeting Su Yue's cold gaze, she was so scared that she knelt down and trembled.
Su Xin was also stunned for a moment.
"Sister, what are you doing?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone. After all, Su Yue beat her without even asking her?
Sensing the displeasure in Su Xin's tone, Su Yue forced a smile, which was very shallow and seemed a bit perfunctory.
"It's nothing. I was just helping my sister teach the servants a lesson." After saying that, Su Yue deliberately rubbed her right hand, which had been strained. There were already red marks on Xiaoduo's face.
"Do you want you to teach my maid a lesson?" Su Xin was furious. Even if she disliked Xiaoduo, she was still her person on the surface. Beating her without the master's consent was equivalent to showing disrespect to her, the master, wasn't it?
"I'm just warning my sister's girl not to spread any messy news and ruin the friendship between us two sisters." Su Yue looked at Xiaoduo who was kneeling on the ground, her voice cold.
"If you play these tricks again, it won't be as simple as three slaps."
Xiaoduo lowered her head to the ground. With her intelligence, she understood the meaning of Su Yue's words. These three slaps were a punishment for her for accompanying the eldest lady in acting.
And if such false news is spread again in the future, it will not be as simple as a slap in the face. After all, his life and Brother Bao’s life are in her hands.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" At this time, the grandmother's impatient voice came from the carriage.
"Grandma, we'll go now." Su Yue responded loudly, and then casually threw the note that Xiaoduo had stuffed into her's pocket at Xiaoduo.
Su Xin didn't even need to look at it. The note was exactly what she had asked Xiaoduo to give to Su Yue. She had planned everything, but she really didn't expect Su Yue to be so blunt. Maybe she was really worrying too much. Xiaoduo was not Su Yue's spy.
"You...Xiaoduo, get up and let's go." Su Xin wanted to say something, but because of her grandmother's words, she didn't dare to say more. She directly told Xiaoduo to get up. When she passed by Su Yue, she snorted fiercely.
As for the red fur coat, Su Xin simply crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground in annoyance.
When Xiaoduo heard Su Xin's words, she hurriedly got up, picked up her fur coat, and followed Su Xin to the carriage behind.
When Su Yue heard Su Xin calling Xiaoduo to come along, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. From Su Xin's tone, it seemed that Xiaoduo, as an informant, was saved.
As soon as they got on the carriage, they heard Gu and Aunt Liu coming one after another. They all heard that the old lady was going to Yuanyin Temple to pray for blessings, so how could they, the younger generations, stay at home and enjoy the good life? Naturally, they went together.
So, Gu got on Su Yue's carriage, and Aunt Liu got on Su Xin's carriage, and all the children of the Prime Minister's Mansion went out today.
"Yue girl, how's your foot?" As soon as Gu came up, she looked at Su Yue's foot with concern. After all, she was injured just two days ago, and they had to go to Yuanyin Temple today.
"Mother, it's okay. It's just a common sprain. No bones are hurt. I've applied some medicine and it should be almost healed in ten days or half a month."
Feeling her mother's worry, Su Yue smiled faintly and held her mother's hands with both hands to comfort her.
"Fortunately, there is a main road to Yuanyin Temple, and the carriage can go up, otherwise my daughter would have been troubled." Gu couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the time she had visited Yuanyin Temple a few years ago.
The carriage was bumpy and there were few incense burners in the carriage, which made Su Yue drowsy. At this moment.
"Girl Yue, I have something. After thinking about it, I still want to talk to you and ask for your opinion." Gu hesitated for a long time. Unconsciously, Gu began to ask Su Yue's opinion before doing anything.
"Mother, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Su Yue leaned her head against the carriage window, her eyes slightly narrowed. She was indeed a little tired after the running around these days.
"I want to find a concubine for your father." Gu sat up straight and spoke cautiously.
"What?" Su Yue was startled and opened her eyes. Her mother in the previous life had suffered a blow in the countryside and had been crazy ever since. She never took care of things, let alone taking a concubine.
"Mother. Have you thought it through?" She stared into Gu's eyes and asked seriously.
"Of course I have thought it through. To be honest, when I gave you the Dongzhu in the countryside, I was indeed prepared to give up my feelings for your father. But he is a man who is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. When I saw your father coming to pick me up, I was actually happy in my heart."
Gu looked at Su Yue with her beautiful eyes, her eyes full of memories.
Su Yue was dejected. She was the same. She said that she would keep a distance from the Third Prince and that what she was going to do would not harm him. However, every time she heard that something happened to him, she couldn't help wanting to help him.
After all, she owed him too much in her previous life, so she could only help him to the best of her ability within a safe range.
"But later, I went through something in the Prime Minister's Mansion. This made me feel colder and colder. Until now, I am completely broken-hearted."
Gu changed the subject and his tone became a little lonely.
"Mother, if that's the case, haven't you ever considered divorcing father?" Su Yue looked at Gu's expression and felt a little uncomfortable.
"You are still young, not even of marriageable age. As long as I don't divorce you, you will be the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
Gu didn't say the rest, but Su Yue knew that everything her mother was doing now was for her.
Sadly, the only thing she can rely on for revenge now is her identity as the prime minister's daughter.
"Mother..." Su Yue choked and tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks. This was the first time she felt powerless since her rebirth. It was the feeling of powerlessness that came from knowing that her mother was stuck in a quagmire, but being unable to pull her out.
"Silly girl, don't cry. Your third uncle is in a good position now, and your father is very polite to me now." Seeing her daughter crying, Gu felt uncomfortable and hurried to comfort her.
"Mother, you want to find a concubine for father, is it also for me?" Su Yue leaned on Gu's knees and said in a muffled voice.
In this world, which woman would want her husband to have three wives and four concubines?
"Ever since we came back, Aunt Liu and her daughter have been making a lot of small moves. I want Aunt Liu to divert her attention." Gu gently stroked Su Yue's hair and replied tenderly.
Although she was not with her daughter all the time during this period, she still knew some things.
Also, the prime minister has a new love and probably won't look for me again. After all, I now only feel disappointed and disgusted with my husband.
However, she did not mention this reason to Su Yue.
After Su Yue heard this, her nose felt sore. As expected, her mother did this for herself.
"Mother, don't worry. One day, your daughter will be able to let you divorce without any worries." Su Yue didn't look up, but the firmness in her tone made Gu stunned.
My daughter has really grown up.
