Chapter 126 Become My Father's Concubine
Lu Xiang suddenly slammed the table, his eyebrows raised and he looked fierce: "What do you mean by taking a concubine? That's wishful thinking, sister-in-law, I'm not telling you this to persuade you to compromise."
"Ah?!" Qiao Jingru was shocked by Lu Xiang's momentum. She stopped crying and looked at her blankly: "No, I can stop him from taking a concubine, but I can't stop him forever."
Although her parents had a good relationship, Qiao Jingru herself never thought that Lu Chao could be devoted to her. However, not long after they got married, Lu Chao fell in love with another woman. Qiao Jingru felt uncomfortable because she was insignificant in Lu Chao's heart.
"Life is so long, why think so much? Let's stop his current thoughts first." Lu Xiang said.
How can a second-generation rich man who is not good at studying, has no skills, and has accomplished nothing be qualified to take a concubine?
Qiao Jingru wiped her tears and asked, "How can I stop?"
No one likes to share her husband with other women. Even though Qiao Jingru was prepared that Lu Chao would take a concubine sooner or later, she would certainly wish to not have another woman to upset her.
Mother Ding looked at Lu Xiang expectantly. The Third Miss must have come up with a good idea when she said this.
You said that life is finally a little more comfortable. If the eldest young master takes Zhao Qingya as a concubine, wouldn't it cause trouble for the eldest young mistress?
She is Mother Wen's niece, and even the old lady likes her very much. If she really becomes the eldest young master's concubine and is loved by him, how can the eldest young mistress suppress her?
When Mother Ding thought about her master crying every day in the future, she felt dizzy and could hardly stand.
"Since she's going to be a concubine, then let Zhao Qingya be Dad's concubine." Lu Xiang said something shocking.
“Puff…cough cough cough…”
Qiao Jingru almost couldn't catch her breath, her face turned red from coughing, and she looked at Lu Xiang in shock.
Is it so deceptive?
Mother Ding was so frightened that she gasped and forgot about being sad.
Then the two realized that Lu Xiang was not joking.
"Are you serious?" Qiao Jingru asked with a stiff face.
Lu Xiang nodded: "Yes, I thought about it when I came here, but whether it is feasible or not will have to wait until I find Zhao Qingya before deciding. Don't be sad, sister-in-law. If it really doesn't work, I will also find a way to drive the person away and stop brother from thinking about it."
It was easy to deal with Lu Chao's preference for the maid in the mansion, but Lu Xiang was worried about the mistress that Lu Chao had kept in his previous life.
"Then...what should I do?" Qiao Jingru looked at Lu Xiang with a touched face, wondering what good deeds she had done in her previous life to meet such a good sister-in-law.
Lu Xiang said: "You probably don't have the mood to work now, come to my place for dinner."
Qiao Jingru looked at the bright sun outside: "..."
Dinner?
Is it too early?
Lu Xiang could tell from her face what she was thinking and stroked his forehead speechlessly.
When the sister-in-law encountered things with her eldest brother, she threw all her IQ to the dogs.
But she didn't have the face to complain about others. After all, in her previous life, based on her single-minded feelings for Xiao Muheng, her IQ was not that high.
"Let's go." Lu Xiang stood up and pulled the distraught Qiao Jingru away.
Mother Ding thought about it and followed.
The Third Young Miss wants to help the Eldest Young Lady solve a problem, and she also wants to know the result first.
Lu Xiang pulled Qiao Jingru to Qixia Courtyard. Qiao Jingru just wanted to find a different place to daydream. Now her mind was full of Lu Chao's desire to take Zhao Qingya as a concubine. She tried so hard to make Lu Chao fall in love with her, but why did it always go against her wishes?
Qiao Jingru kept reflecting on what she had done wrong. She also wondered why Zhao Qingya was worthy of Lu Chao's love...
Seeing that Qiao Jingru was absent-minded, Lu Xiang just let her go.
"Miss Third, you must help our young mistress." Mother Ding pulled Lu Xiang and begged. Now she didn't know what to do except Lu Xiang.
The eldest young lady is still young. If Zhao Qingya were allowed to enter the eldest young master's room, given his love for her, he might give birth to a bastard.
It's not that she looks down on illegitimate sons, but she hopes that her master can give birth to the eldest son first. Having a son by her side will give her more confidence in the future.
"Don't worry, Madam Ding. My sister-in-law is my family. Zhao Qingya is just taking advantage of Madam Wen's influence. In terms of relationship, can she be more loved by my grandmother than me? If she can be sensible, my sister-in-law and I can help her gain a foothold in the mansion. But if she insists on having her own way, I will not let her off easily." Lu Xiang said.
Mother Ding nodded repeatedly with emotion: "Thank you very much, Third Miss."
Qiao Jingru didn't eat much for dinner, so Lu Xiang scooped her a bowl of chicken soup and said, "How can you have the strength to fight the enemy if you don't have enough food? Come to my room later, and hide in the inner room. Don't make any noise for now."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qiao Jingru was at a loss. She took the bowl of soup and responded.
At night, Wu Yue went to Fuyuan Hall and called Zhao Qingya.
Zhao Qingya asked all the way why the Third Miss was looking for her, but Wu Yue refused to say a word, which made her feel very uneasy.
Wu Yue brought the person into the house and then left.
Lu Xiang's room was covered with thick carpets and the furnishings were almost brand new, most of which were things sent by Queen Song. There was a dressing table inlaid with tortoise shells and a diamond-shaped bronze mirror on it. A person-high silk screen embroidered with peony flowers divided the room into two rooms, and a few extremely elegant laurel branches were inserted in a blue and white porcelain vase on the side, and bursts of fragrance wafted into the air.
"Your servant greets the Third Young Miss." Zhao Qingya bowed and saluted: "I wonder what the Third Young Miss wants me to do?"
"Sister Qingya is eighteen this year, right?" Lu Xiang asked.
Zhao Qingya smiled and said, "To reply to Third Miss, that's right."
"Eighteen, not young anymore." Lu Xiang sighed, "Grandmother likes you very much, but she didn't find a good marriage for my sister?"
Zhao Qingya's face froze. She guessed something and looked at Lu Xiang awkwardly: "I am of low status, how can I trouble the old lady? My aunt is...looking at me..."
It was very strange to discuss my marriage with the fourteen-year-old Third Miss.
But Zhao Qingya didn't dare to underestimate Lu Xiang, so she had to answer obediently.
"The person that Mama Wen found for you may not be from a high enough family, so you were unwilling to give in and seduced my eldest brother, hoping to become his concubine and gain wealth and status."
Lu Xiang's voice was not loud, his smile was cold, and his tone unconsciously added a hint of chill.
Zhao Qingya was startled suddenly, her body swayed violently, and she knelt down in panic: "Third Miss, I did not seduce the eldest young master."
"Oh, then think of it as my elder brother seducing you." Lu Xiang didn't bother with her: "But I was right in saying that you want to be my elder brother's concubine, right?"
