Chapter 158 A Concubine Will Always Be a Concubine
A group of people marched towards the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
When everyone saw Madam Xu in the lead, they all asked, "Madam Xu, where are you going?"
Someone beside him shouted, "I know, I know. Last time, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery made a bet with Madam Xu. Whoever lost had to accept the penalty."
"Now, I must be looking for the wife of the Loyal and Brave Marquis to fulfill my promise."
"Hurry up, hurry up, let's go watch the show."
The news spread among the crowd, and immediately became a huge uproar.
They shouted and went to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
Xu had been exhausted from working for the Marquis' Mansion before, but now, after leaving the mansion, she looks radiant and exceptionally young and beautiful.
Xu and everyone else stood outside the Marquis's mansion.
Dengzhi went forward and knocked on the door.
"Coming, coming..." The doorman came hurriedly to open the door.
"Madam!" The doorman's eyes lit up with joy and he hurried forward to greet her.
"Get up quickly. I'm not your wife now. Let your wife come out and ask her if she still remembers the bet at the Huguo Temple?" Xu pursed her lips and smiled.
The servant had a bitter face. Ever since Xu left the Marquis' Mansion, life in the Mansion has been getting worse and worse.
[Hmph, I'm afraid she is just pretending to be sick. It would be better if we could call a royal physician. 】
Xu waved her hand, and an imperial physician appeared behind her.
[Wow, my mother is so powerful, my mother is so awesome...]
[Now Pei has nowhere to escape...]
Lu Chaochao looked like he was enjoying a good show.
At this moment, in the mansion of Marquis Zhongyong.
"What? What is Xu doing in front of the Marquis's Mansion? She must be here to laugh at the Marquis's Mansion! Get her out now!" The old lady waved her hands sickly, with anger still on her face.
Pei's face tensed and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted.
"I said I was sick and couldn't entertain guests." Pei said unwillingly.
"Mrs. Xu brought the imperial physician..."
Pei's face was stiff. Damn Xu, was it really necessary to be so unreasonable? !
Yellow-faced woman!
She can't control a man because she is incompetent!
Why blame yourself? !
The old lady looked at her suspiciously: "What does Xu Shiyun want to ask you for?"
Pei's face turned red: "There is some misunderstanding between my daughter-in-law and my sister. I will go and explain it." Pei went out with her head held high.
Open the door.
Seeing the huge crowd outside the door, Pei's eyelids trembled with fear.
"Mrs. Pei, please come and fulfill your promise. I thought you were going to be a coward." Mrs. Xu said with a smile.
The two stood together, and everyone was surprised to find that...
The Xu family actually outshined the Pei family.
Pei's previously proud face now looked yellow from overwork, and even thick makeup could not cover up her fatigue.
The light in his eyes was extinguished.
"Lord Zhongyong is blind. Divorcing such a good wife is so visionless."
"Who said that Xu is old and ugly? She is obviously prettier than the concubine!"
Pei also discovered that she was outshined by Xu, and a deep jealousy flashed in her eyes.
She originally thought that the Marquis' Mansion was a golden nest, and she tried her best to squeeze in.
Now I realize that it is just a name with nothing in my house.
After Xu left, the Marquis' Mansion had difficulty maintaining daily expenses.
"Sister Yun, this is all a misunderstanding. Can everyone please go away?" Pei smiled and walked forward, holding Xu's hand.
Xu dodged it easily.
"Who is your sister? There is no one in my Xu family who is a concubine."
“Mrs. Pei, you’d better fulfill your promise as soon as possible, otherwise…” Xu looked around.
"Otherwise, I will take Madam Pei to Jinghong Academy to fulfill my promise."
"Here, or at the entrance of the academy, it's your choice!" Xu smiled, ignoring Pei's resentful look.
"You!" Pei gritted her teeth.
Academy?
Does Jing Huai still have any shame?
"You have to accept the loss. Mrs. Pei made the bet herself, so you can't blame others." Xu's expression was indifferent.
[Hmph, what's the use of regretting now? If your elder brother didn't pass the imperial examination, would you forgive mother? 】
[Fortunately, big brother is doing well!] 】Lu Chaochao murmured in his heart.
Xu winked behind her, and two sturdy women came forward. Pei took a step back abruptly.
Look of horror.
"Mrs. Pei, please cash your bet!"
"As the wife of a marquis, can't you afford to lose?" the onlookers shouted.
Pei's eyes showed hatred: "Xu Shiyun, are you really going to do this?"
"How ridiculous. You have been the marquis's concubine for eighteen years, eating and drinking the lady's food and drinks. Weren't you the first to do it?" Dengzhi put her hands on her hips, looking fierce.
"A shameless person is invincible in the world, and you are really shameless!"
Pei was choked and speechless.
Mrs. Xu gradually lost her patience: "Please fulfill the bet, Madam Pei."
"Mrs. Pei, don't waste everyone's time. We are all waiting."
"That's right, if you can't afford to lose, don't gamble." The onlookers added fuel to the fire.
Pei clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and made up his mind, with a snap.
He knelt in front of the mansion door.
Lu Chaochao immediately jumped out of Xu's arms.
Xu couldn't stop him.
"Come and see, the Marquis is kneeling down..."
Lu Chaochao shouted at the top of his lungs.
While running, he shouted: "Madam Hou, kneel down..."
"Madam Hou is kneeling down... come and see!"
The shrill sound spread across several streets.
Pei almost fainted from anger when she heard the voice.
Lu Chaochao, little bitch!
She pointed at Xu, her fingertips trembling with anger: "Xu, you...you have such a cruel heart!"
Xu looked innocent: This...
It’s really not my fault.
The people inside and outside the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery were so crowded that no one could get in.
Pei's voice was trembling: "I... forever..."
"Haven't you eaten?! Speak louder!" Dengzhi shouted angrily.
Pei's eyes were filled with resentment and anger, as if she wanted to burn everything to ashes.
"I will always be a concubine!"
"I will always be a concubine!"
"I will always be a concubine!" Pei closed her eyes and roared out those cold words.
After Pei finished speaking, she stood up quickly, her face turned pale, and she rushed back to the Marquis' Mansion crying.
Everyone was in an uproar.
"A concubine will always be a concubine, not something that can be shown on the stage."
"Do you really think that you can be exposed by forcing your wife away? Tut..." The people were all spitting at the door.
Xu let out a breath of foul air.
I have a great time today.
"Come on, Chaochao, let's go home." Xu was very proud and was extremely happy.
"You are such a clever little thing. You have brought shame to Pei family." Xu hugged Lu Chaochao's face and kissed her hard.
[Hmph, it’s time for my mother to be happy! 】
[When my brother passes the imperial examination and gets the top three honors, I will make them mad to death!] 】
Lu Chaochao raised his little fist.
Lu Chaochao looked towards the Marquis' Mansion, hehe...
Lu Jingyao, your mother kept her promise.
It’s your turn now, isn’t it?
At this moment, Pei was lying on the couch, crying like rain: "Xu! I actually lost to Xu!"
"You are so embarrassed, Xu family, damn Xu family!"
"Your brother must be trying to save my reputation! He must win the first place, otherwise, how can I face others?"
Pei didn’t dare to think about what would happen to Lu Yuanze if Lu Yanshu won the top three places in the imperial examination. !
Lu Jingyao, who was comforting Mrs. Pei, shuddered.
It was as if being stared at by some monster.
