Chapter 167 Du Ruo is favored

Liu Qingping suddenly understood and felt extremely angry.

She treated Du Ruo as a friend, but Du Ruo treated her as a fool!

She was a joke the whole time!

Lu Lingyun looked at Liu Qingping's angry face and smiled faintly, "In addition to being able to read the account books and manage money, the way to run a family is to learn how to read and manage people."

Her eyes were indifferent but full of wisdom. "Today is a lesson for you. After you marry me, you must be on guard against everyone. If you let your guard down, you will definitely be taken advantage of."

Of course Lu Lingyun saw through Du Ruo's little trick from the beginning.

She didn't say it because Du Ruo's little tricks had no effect on her, and also because it could teach Liu Qingping a lesson.

After hearing this, Liu Qingping was still very angry.

Lu Lingyun continued.

"There are never enough things in the backyard, especially for the concubines. They have to fight for money, things, and the favor of the master. For these things, they have to sharpen their brains, think of all kinds of strategies, and even use all kinds of means to climb up desperately. They also do it for survival."

Liu Qingping couldn't help but frown when she heard this, "Big sister, aren't these people our enemies? Aren't you angry?"

Lu Lingyun looked at her with amusement, "Why are you so angry? You and they are never fighting over the same thing."

Liu Qingping widened her eyes.

"You will be the mistress when you marry in, not a concubine." Lu Lingyun reminded her, "The men that concubines rob, they can only get a little power if they get the favor of the men, but you, when you marry in, you will control the most core power, and you will control the fate of the entire family."

"If concubines don't obey, just beat them. They are never your enemies, but your tools. If you compete with them for men, you will lose. Do you understand?"

Liu Qingping nodded, not quite understanding.

That night.

Cheng Yunshuo stayed in Xiaoheyuan.

The next day, Cheng Yunshuo was almost late for work.

Du Ruo slept until noon and woke up with a face full of spring breeze.

Xiaoqin came back and told Lu Lingyun.

Du Ruo pestered Cheng Yunshuo for half the night yesterday.

At first Cheng Yunshuo didn't plan to stay overnight with her.

Du Ruo kept calling him "Master", stuck to him, and cried about how miserable her life was in the Marquis' Mansion.

Because Cheng Yunshuo didn't sleep in her room on the wedding night, everyone in the mansion looked down on her.

She also told Cheng Yunshuo the story of how, among the three concubines, she was assigned to be the last one to receive cloth when the mansion distributed it, and how she was given the cloth that other women didn't want.

Cheng Yunshuo's heroic spirit was overflowing after hearing this.

He has always been a thin-skinned man with a sense of responsibility.

Du Ruo's words to him immediately aroused his sense of responsibility.

Thinking that Du Ruona had also accepted it, he wanted to give her a real identity so that she could live a better life in his house.

They consummated the marriage that night.

Liu Qingping was in the room when she heard that Du Ruo had consummated their marriage by stepping on her yesterday, and her face was filled with anger.

I can't wait to find her and question her harshly.

When Lu Lingyun saw her like that, he knew that she was still young and could not easily swallow her anger.

Come to think of it, no matter how many people talk about the great principles, how many people can actually live their lives wisely based on them?

Everyone has to experience and realize it slowly, and suddenly one day they realize that these things are just like that, and only then can they let go and move forward.

While Lu Lingyun was taking the child for a nap at noon, Liu Qingping went over and scolded Du Ruo.

"You are so shameless. You used me to get close to my brother-in-law! You seduced him! And I still consider you a friend!"

"Qingping, what are you talking about? The prince is also my husband. How can it be considered seduction when I consummate my marriage with my husband?" Du Ruohun was unaware, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Liu Qingping was so angry that she jumped up and down. "My elder sisters and the others said that my brother-in-law took you in because he saw that you had no other choice! Don't you understand?"

"Oh!" Du Ruo sneered, looking at Liu Qingping with a raised eyebrow, "Come on, why would he marry me if he didn't like me! My master has me in his heart! Stop being jealous!"

She figured it out last night.

Cheng Yunshuo definitely still likes her.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to marry her, let alone consummate the marriage with her.

I say it’s a responsibility, but actually I just have her in my heart!

The joy of this night cannot be faked!

Liu Qingping was furious when she heard Du Ruo say this. She couldn't think of anything else and said angrily, "You concubines are really annoying! I will never talk to you again!"

After saying that, she took her people away.

This sentence really touched Du Ruo. Du Ruo looked at Liu Qingping who was leaving and sneered, "Ha!"

She ignored her, she still ignored her!

The two broke up completely. Liu Qingping no longer paid attention to Du Ruo, and Du Ruo no longer went to Lu Lingyun's yard.

She didn't have time to go there either.

For several days in a row, Cheng Yunshuo came to her small lotus courtyard.

It was the time when everything was new and fresh, and the two of them were very sweet and affectionate. Cheng Yunshuo gave her all the good things he got.

Du Ruo gained Cheng Yunshuo's favor, and her status in the Marquis's Mansion also rose.

Whenever the servants saw her, they would greet her respectfully, unlike before when they were indifferent.

Because of this, Du Ruo felt more and more favored.

What's wrong with being a concubine? As a concubine, she doesn't have to manage the household. If she is favored, even Lu Lingyun has to be polite to her.

This afternoon, Lu Lingyun called all the concubines in the backyard into her yard.

Du Ruo took Xiao Qin to Lu Lingjun's place, and on the way they ran into Qiu Ling and Ling Long who were walking together.

"What does the young lady want to see us about?" Linglong asked.

"I heard it was about the Dragon Boat Festival temple fair." Qiu Ling replied.

"Is there a temple fair during the Dragon Boat Festival this year?"

"Yes, the young lady should be planning to take us to the temple to draw lots."

"Very good!"

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and then they saw a woman in front of them wearing a newly made lotus pink long dress.

As soon as she saw her, Linglong's smiling face turned cold.

Qiu Ling didn't change much. She looked at the new concubine who had just come into the mansion and greeted her with a smile, "Isn't this Sister Du?"

"Who is your sister?" Du Ruo rolled her eyes and said with disdain, "In terms of seniority, I am a noble concubine! You are just a good concubine!"

Qiu Ling: “…”

"Sister Qiu Ling, let's ignore her." Linglong snorted coldly and pulled Qiu Ling to the side.

Du Ruo strode towards her without giving her way.

"What are you doing?"

"Have you greeted me?" Du Ruo glanced at Ling Long, "Don't you want to follow the rules in this mansion?"

Linglong was filled with frustration. She met Du Ruo's eyes and said reluctantly, "Greetings to Aunt Du."

Du Ruo let out a sigh and said with great relief, "Say it again, I didn't hear it clearly."

Qiu Ling pulled Ling Long over and said, "Auntie Du, that's enough. We don't have so many rules in our house!"

Du Ruo looked at Qiu Ling coldly, "Aunt Qiu, I miss you for giving birth to the eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion, so I won't bother with you. Logically, you should also greet me!"

At this moment, a clear and noble voice sounded, "Hey! Who is this? You look so majestic, I would have thought you were my sister-in-law!"
