"What's with that look?"
Receiving Mi Qu's' understand 'look, the man was annoyed. Was she doubting him or looking down on him?
"If it wasn't for me spoiling you, do you really think you're someone important?"
This woman actually dared to roll her eyes at him. She sure had guts. If he didn't do something about it, wouldn't she be stepping on his head in the future?
Mi Qu sneered coldly and slowly put down her chopsticks. She took the handkerchief from the concubine and elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth.
"Since you're so confident, just wait for the bamboo scrolls to be cooked on the table. Our family isn't poor, we can still afford a bamboo scroll and a table. If the kitchen doesn't make it to your liking, this concubine will have the kitchen try a few more dishes until you're satisfied. "
The man almost choked on her words. The finger he pointed at Mi Qu trembled in anger.
Mi Qu stood up from the mat and returned to her room without looking back.
The concubine hesitated for a second before decisively following the main wife's footsteps.
Doctor Mi Qu was the one who provided for her. If she didn't hug this leg, should she hug that unreliable man instead?
The man was so angry that he flipped the table and cursed, but the target of his curses had already left. No matter how harsh and nasty his curses were, there were only a few servants in the audience.
Not only did he not affect Mi Qu, he even lost his face and hurt his liver.
"Bitch! I'm so angry! " The man slammed the table and gritted his teeth, "I'll divorce this bitch sooner or later, I'll divorce her sooner or later!"
The servants at the side could only roll their eyes inwardly.
If a man dared to divorce, he would have done so eight hundred years ago. Why would this couple torment each other for so many years?
He couldn't understand it either. The first madam was both beautiful and talented. There was a wide market for her to remarry after a divorce. Why did she have to hang herself on this crooked tree?
It wasn't just them who didn't understand. The concubines in the man's backyard didn't understand either.
Mi Qu was probably the main wife of every man's dream. She would serve the in-laws and raise their children. The entire residence would be well organized. There was no need to worry about the inner and outer courtyards. She never cared which concubine her husband slept in at night. If her husband wanted to take a concubine, she would support him. Even the money for the concubines was earned by her. Other than being tall, men didn't need to use their brains.
What man wouldn't like such a virtuous wife?
The only difference was that not only would this virtuous wife not flatter her husband, but she would also not be dissed by his gorgeous concubines every day. Instead, she could anger her husband so much that even his concubines would stand on her side. Speaking of which, it was very mysterious. Outsiders couldn't see through it at all.
In the study.
The concubine used the pair of hands that men loved to use to massage Mi Yu's shoulders. Her strength was just right, and her technique was also very experienced.
Mi Ke was leaning against a table, flipping through a book, his brows furrowed and relaxed from time to time.
The concubine couldn't help but advise, "Why doesn't Madam talk to Master?"
Mi Qu flipped a page and replied without even lifting her eyelids, "What do I have to discuss with him?"
Saying too much would only anger oneself. Anger would harm the liver, and liver harm would shorten one's lifespan.
For the sake of such a man's slow suicide, she was lucky.
The concubine said, "Old Master always makes Madam angry, and Madam is also vexed. Why don't you pacify him so that he won't disturb your studies?"
Mi You sneered, "Is he even worthy?"
The concubine: "…"
Thinking back to her own Master's conduct, fine, he really isn't worthy.
"There is one thing that this concubine doesn't understand. If Madam is willing to answer, why don't you help this concubine?"
Mi You said, "What is it?"
The concubine said, "Madam is talented and beautiful, and you are also young. If you divorce and remarry, you won't have to worry about not being able to find a man of your calibre, so why waste your time on Master? Madam treats us well, and we are not ungrateful. We naturally hope that Madam can be better. As for Master … he isn't all bad, but he can't compare to those young talents. How could other people have so many concubines in their backyards? "
Now that she was the wife of a scumbag, she had to put up with an idiot wandering around in front of her every day.
Mi You's lips curled up into a faint smile. She said, "To me, no one in this world can be him, so it doesn't matter who I marry."
Back then, if it wasn't for her shameless relatives using extreme methods to force her to marry someone else, she planned to be a widow for the rest of her life.
Since her current husband couldn't affect her no matter what he did, what difference was there between a divorce and a divorce?
After so many years, she had already accepted reality, and didn't want to suffer anymore.
If she divorced, there was no guarantee that her so-called maternal relatives wouldn't force her to marry again for benefits.
Of course, the current her wouldn't give those people the chance to harm her.
The concubine knew very well who the "he" Mi You was talking about was — — Mi You's ex-husband, who was rumored to be a gentle man.
"Also, there's nothing bad about him taking more concubines."
Mi You's words were out of the concubine's expectations.
"Eh?"
Would there be a wife who liked her husband taking concubines?
"There are many beautiful things in the world, but they can't compare to beautiful women. Each and every one of them is more beautiful than flowers, beautiful and young. Just by standing there, they are already a painting. "Mi You smiled." You guys always have your own skills. For example, you can always massage the shoulders and back just right. Usually, when you sit and read too much, your neck and shoulders hurt. With just a little massage, how can your days not be beautiful? Yunniang has a yellow voice, and I like to listen to her singing in the backyard in the early morning. Her mood will be good for the whole day. Xiao Hong can dance in the sky, and her figure is beautiful … "
Pig Trotters liked beautiful and talented concubines. He spent a lot of money to redeem several of them from brothels. Mi You liked them too.
Rather than saying that these concubines were men's, it was better to say that they were raised by Mi You.
"Of course …" Mi You seemed to have thought of something, and her voice was filled with self-mockery. "In this world, women are the most difficult. If he takes one more concubine, won't he have one more place to stay? There are pros and cons, and fortune and disaster depend on each other. It all depends on what the people involved think. "
No one knew that when she was young, she hated the existence of concubines the most, and she scoffed at this twisted logic.
However, times had changed, and the world was different. Nansheng had experienced more than ten years of war, and there were many women who had suffered misfortune.
She had seen too many naked corpses in the wilderness, their corpses covered in maggots, and the scenes of being exposed to the wind and sun.
For most people, living was not easy, so they had no right to be picky about how they lived.
"Madam, will the Duke of Lanting really order an expedition?"
Mi You said with certainty, "Definitely, he will. He needs me."
The concubine smiled. "If that's the case, the old master …"
Is he really going to eat the table of bamboo slips?
"Hmph, a gentleman never goes back on his word. If he says he'll eat it, then I'll watch him kneel and finish it!"
Before the expedition document was issued, Jiang Pengji received a few pieces of news.
Many people said that they had seen people similar to Hua Yuan.
Jiang Pengji connected the dots and discovered a secret. Hua Yuan was heading north in the direction of Ningzhou.
Ningzhou?
Isn't that Hua Yuan's ancestral home?
