Chapter 38 The Harmonious Relationship Between Concubines
Liu took Ye Qianning back to Xiruoyuan and asked her many questions, but none of them were about her life experience. She was even afraid that she would be tired from walking, so she wanted to hug her, but gave up after trying several times in embarrassment.
Ye Qianning's small body was estimated to weigh at least 50 or 60 kilograms, and a woman really couldn't lift him up.
However, Ye Qianning had some good feelings towards Liu. Although she was plain-looking, she was a simple person. Seeing how cautious she spoke, she probably suffered a lot from the old woman after marrying into the general's mansion.
"Give this to the young lady later."
"No, yours is suitable for adults. Children like dolls. Look here."
"Your doll isn't good-looking either. Did you make it yourself?"
"I was bored and made this for fun, but I sewed all of this myself, stitch by stitch. A small gift may be a small gift, but the thought goes a long way, don't you understand?"
"Stop arguing. What's the point of giving a doll hairband? The eldest daughter is so plump, she must love to eat. Preparing a table full of food is the most important thing."
“…”
As soon as Liu brought Ye Qianning into the yard, they heard a hustle and bustle of noise inside.
Ye Qianning was suspicious. Are there so many people living in Liu's yard?
Liu thought she was scared and whispered, "Don't be afraid. The concubines there are all very kind and are preparing gifts for Qian Ning."
Aunt?
Ye Qianning was even more confused. How could the legal wife and the concubine get along so harmoniously?
Wives and concubines have always been at odds with each other. Shouldn't they fight openly and secretly?
"Sister Liu is back with the eldest daughter." The concubine who was standing at the door pasting the big wedding character saw people and shouted into the hall.
Then, the colorful concubines rushed out and surrounded the little man.
"Look, this is a gift from me to you, Miss."
"This is mine."
"And mine."
“…”
In an instant, Ye Qianning's arms were stuffed full, and a small head appeared among the pile of gifts. What's more, it was the head of a small paper man turned by the fourth grandmother, which was even more ridiculous.
"Pfft." The purple-dressed aunt couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw this scene. She raised her hand and pinched her little face: "This makeup is really festive."
Ye Qianning was a little confused by the sudden enthusiasm and didn't know how to start for a moment.
"Alright, don't scare her." Liu took out the gifts from her arms and handed them to the maid beside her. She then said, "The general told you to go back to the courtyard. Why are you all crowding here with me?"
"Aren't we curious about the child that the general brought back personally? If you really take care of this child in the future, we can also have something to do." The aunt in blue clothes smiled.
Liu had no choice but to lead Ye Qianning towards the house, saying, "I'm afraid you'll make her cry. If you can't comfort her, you'll be in trouble."
"Don't be afraid. I think the girl is not timid, and she is fat and easy to raise. I have prepared the dishes and am just waiting for the young lady to come back and eat." The aunt in yellow clothes trotted into the house.
In the hall, a table full of delicious food had been prepared. Ye Qianning had not eaten since morning, and she was already hungry. As soon as she sat down, her stomach started to rumble.
Ye Qianning was slightly embarrassed.
"It seems that our eldest lady is really hungry. Come and have an elbow." The concubine in yellow clothes casually picked up a piece of elbow meat and put it over.
"Don't eat anything too greasy when you're hungry. Drink some porridge first."
"Let's have some dessert first."
"Eat mine."
"Eat mine first, Miss. Don't listen to them."
The aunts started arguing noisily again...
