Biluo moved quickly, and within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Steward Zhao did not delay and went to the storeroom with her.
Cai Die asked in confusion, "Buying a maid is a trivial matter that the steward has the right to decide on his own. Why did he have to come and ask you specifically?"
"Gu Yurong doesn't want a maid."
Jiang Wan picked up the silver scissors and slowly began trimming the phoenix tail flowers on the table.
"She wanted to put someone next to Song Ziyu in bed."
Butterfly's eyes widened: "No way?"
"The matriarch values her reputation. She would not allow a second concubine like Aru to enter the house, and she would not be able to give any explanation for taking a concubine without cause."
“Now that Aru is pregnant, it is inconvenient for her to have sex. Song Ziyu is not as tender as before when treating Gu Yurong. She is missing a pleasing person by her side.”
It was one thing before, but recently he took that drug and felt his virility greatly enhanced, making it even harder for him to control himself. The day before yesterday, he even stayed overnight at Zuiyun Tower.
If a beautiful young maid were to appear before him every day, he would surely find it hard to resist.
Only when the quack doctor's medicine is combined with the bone-slimming beauty can it be used to its fullest potential.
Cai Die exclaimed, "The Gu family... wants General Song to die of pleasure in their boudoir!"
"She has always been a ruthless person."
Jiang Wan mocked.
Just now, she couldn't confirm who that itinerant doctor was, but now it's clear that he was someone arranged by Gu Yurong and Song Lin.
When this mother and son get serious, they are truly ruthless.
"Let them go; this is Song Ziyu's own doing."
Cai Die asked, "But Madam, it seems that Steward Zhao has already noticed something. He and General Song have a deep bond. Will you remind him?"
“If he had such intentions, he wouldn’t have appeared at Xingzhi Courtyard today.” Jiang Wan chuckled. “His choice to reveal the information to me means that he has already decided to change masters, and he is using this as a stepping stone to imply that he wants to abandon his old master and pledge allegiance to me.”
She also expressed her willingness to take them in.
Steward Zhao was a clever man. He had noticed the subtle changes in the situation in the General's Mansion and had probably already weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Only now, with Jiang Wan having been granted the title of Second Rank Imperial Consort and Song Yu having made a name for himself in the martial arts examination and enjoying a high reputation in the army, did he decide to betray Song Ziyu.
Steward Zhao was getting old and had to think about his descendants; the bond between master and servant couldn't outweigh his own interests.
This is the human heart.
Steward Zhao acted quickly, and within a few days, Gu Yurong had two clever maids by her side, named Zhuqing and Lanyou respectively. She carefully trained them according to Song Ziyu's preferences.
The two women were beautiful and elegant, not like servants, but rather like young ladies from a wealthy family.
Jiang Wan glanced at them and thought they looked a lot like Gu Yurong when she was young.
This is exactly the kind of look that Song Ziyu likes.
Gu Yurong sent two maids to follow Song Lin, to serve him tea and water in the study every day.
Soon, Song Ziyu took Zhu Qing as his concubine.
Two days later, news came from the main courtyard that Lan Youzheng was jealous of this matter and had made a scene. Song Ziyu could not handle it and could only continue to favor Lan Youzheng.
From then on, the two of them, as if in a petty squabble, pestered Song Ziyu day and night, exhausting him to the point that he had no heart to deal with official business. He dumped all his affairs on Song Lin and spent his time indulging in lovemaking day and night.
The matriarch could not control him and could only let him be.
On this day, the gatekeeper suddenly brought something over, saying that a stranger had asked him to give it to Song Ziyu.
At this time, Song Ziyu was still in bed in a drunken stupor when the old lady opened the book and read it.
In her terror, she nearly fainted.
"Quickly! Call Ziyu over here!"
