"Pfft..." Yang Cui spat out a mouthful of tea.
What the heck is a future concubine?
She thought this girl was Dao San's love interest, so she was her rival in love?
"Does Cen Xiao know that you want to become his concubine?"
Feng Xiaorui nodded: "I know, I said that as long as he agrees, I will give the army 800 shi of grain and 30,000 taels of silver as military pay."
This is practically giving yourself away to become someone's concubine!
Tsk tsk... Yang Cui didn't know whether to admire Cen Xiao's charm or Feng Xiaorui. If her daughter offered herself up to someone as a concubine, she would beat her to death!
"So, the reason you came back with Dao San this time is because Cen Xiao agreed to let you come as a concubine? That's why he let you come back with Dao San?"
"Madam, Master never agreed. Don't listen to her nonsense. It wasn't Master who asked her to come along; she begged and pleaded to come back with me." Dao San hurriedly explained for Cen Xiao. If he didn't explain, Cen Xiao would punish him later.
Feng Xiaorui nodded: "Yes, he's right. General Cen didn't agree. Although you're prettier than me, I don't think I'm any less attractive. I also have money. He would definitely agree to let me be his concubine. I came here this time because I heard he got married, so I came to get to know you better first."
Yang Cui: "..." This girl's brain is fried, case closed!
"Miss Feng, there's something you probably don't know."
"What is it?"
“Cen Xiao married into my family, and I am the head of the household, so he cannot take a concubine.”
"What?" Feng Xiaorui exclaimed in surprise. "Impossible! He's a great general, how could he possibly marry into the family?"
Yang Cui smiled faintly: "I also thought it was impossible, but he still chose to marry into the family. Maybe... he loves me too much."
Yang Cui couldn't resist a Versailles moment.
"I have a written receipt from him. Do you want to see it?"
Feng Xiaorui bit her lip tightly, feeling extremely disappointed: "No need, I believe you. If you were to lie to me, you wouldn't tell such a lie. You're so lucky to have met a man like General Cen who is capable, handsome, and willing to marry into your family. Sigh... I'm so envious."
Yang Cui thought this girl was a bit slow, and although she was a rival in love, she probably wasn't like Qiu Mingxuan or Luo Yanfen, so she didn't have any hostility towards her.
Yang Cui laughed and said, "I think Cen Xiao is lucky to have met someone as outstanding as me."
"You have such a thick skin."
"I'm telling the truth. You'll meet a lucky man in the future, so don't keep thinking about my husband. Being someone's concubine is nothing compared to being someone's legitimate wife."
“But my status is too low to be worthy of General Cen. Besides, he already has you, so wouldn’t I only be able to be a concubine? Who knew… sigh, he turned out to be a live-in son-in-law. Now I don’t even have the chance to be a concubine. My life is so bitter…” Feng Xiaorui couldn’t help but sigh to the sky.
"Dao San, you should take Miss Feng to the inn. Miss Feng, it's a rare opportunity for you to come here. Tomorrow I'll show you around Wan'an properly."
Since she was after her man, Yang Cui wanted to test her to see if she was truly naive or just pretending to be innocent.
Yuan Qiu, Xiao Hu, Er Ya, and San Ya all heard from someone that another woman had taken a liking to Cen Xiao and wanted to move in. They all shouted that they would teach that woman a lesson!
"That's not true, don't worry about it. Focusing on your studies and martial arts training is the right thing to do."
Because of Yang Cui's restraint, these children did not cause trouble for Feng Xiaorui.
Feng Xiaorui couldn't process what Yang Cui had said all night. Cen Xiao was actually a live-in son-in-law?! This was too shocking!
But the general was willing to marry into the family for love; how noble! She was so envious…
The next day, Yang Cui invited Feng Xiaorui to dinner at the Star Gazing Tower.
"The food at Guanxinglou is delicious. I especially love their spicy hot pot chicken; it's absolutely amazing!"
It's said that many of the popular dishes at this Star Gazing Tower were created by Lin Tanhua's ex-wife. That Yang woman is amazing! And her rice noodles are ridiculously expensive and often sold out. I heard her factory is in Wan'an County, and I'd like to buy a few dozen kilograms from her factory. Sister, do you know where her factory is?
"You might not be able to get dozens of kilograms, because the goods have already been ordered by other customers. I can give you a few kilograms, though."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaorui's eyes widened: "What do you mean? You're very familiar with the Yang family."
"Yes, we're quite familiar with each other."
"That's great, let her give me a few more pounds..."
"Mrs. Cen." Before Feng Xiaorui could finish speaking, Mo Zijun interrupted her.
"It's been a while since we last met, Young Master Mo. I haven't had a chance to congratulate you yet."
With Madam Mo Zhang dead, Mo Ziyun is no longer a threat, and the Mo family wants to bring Mo Zijun back, since Mo Zijun is currently openly cooperating with Su Murong.
The first thing Mo Zijun did after taking over the Mo family was to defy all opposition and divide the family property!
As the eldest grandson and the person in charge, he took 70% of the family business.
"Does Madam Cen have any ideas about investing in my Ruyi Fang?" Mo Zijun asked.
Yang Cui was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I'm not interested in investing, but I owe you such a big favor, so I can give you something."
Both were intelligent people, and Mo Zijun certainly knew what Yang Cui meant by "a big favor." He smiled and remained silent.
Yang Cui added, "I also have a recipe for dorayaki. You can arrange for someone reliable to come to my house and learn from me."
Ruyi Fang's products are also quite good, after all, it's a long-established brand. If they have a hit product to attract customers, it can also boost the sales of other products in the store.
“Then I’ll accept your offer without hesitation.” Mo Zijun glanced at Feng Xiaorui and said, “I’ll be going now, so I won’t disturb you two any longer.”
As soon as Mo Zijun stood up, a young woman rushed over and poured a cup of hot tea on him, burning his neck bright red: "Xu Peilan, you crazy woman, are you sick in the head?!"
