Xia Lu asked for benevolence and got it,
He could finally practice martial arts with Jia Zhen openly, and he also successfully maintained his persona. Xia Lu was very satisfied.
Xia Lu's satisfaction did not last long,
More than a month later..,
One morning..,
Xia Lu was as usual,
He went to pay his respects to Jia He and found that the three women were already waiting here,
Two of them, Xia Lu felt that they were quite unfamiliar, the other one..,
Xia Lu was quite familiar with her. That was the woman that Jia Zhen went to the Qian family to bring back.
Seeing this scene, Xia Lu understood what was going on,
What would come would come.
"Greetings to Madam." Xia Lu smiled and bowed to Jia He, pretending not to know anything.
"Get up quickly, Mama Gui,
Find a seat for Zheng'er's wife, "Jia He said.
"Thank you, Madam." Xia Lu stood up,
He walked to a chair at the side,
He sat down.
Jia He looked at Xia Lu's unhurried manner and nodded slightly,
She did not ask anxiously,
The three girls who suddenly appeared in this room..,
They were very calm. "Let me explain to you,
These three are Zheng'er's concubines. You've been married to Zheng'er for so long, but you haven't officially met them. Drink their tea today. "
"Yes." Xia Lu stood up and said yes. Other than agreeing, what other choice did she have? Since there was no other choice, she should shut her mouth and stop talking nonsense. If she wanted to control her own life, she needed to have enough strength. Right now, she was just a bride who had married into a Jia family and had not given birth to a child. Her foundation was not stable, how could she resist?
Jia He nodded in satisfaction. This daughter-in-law was good. Then, Jia He turned her gaze to the three concubines. "Your grandmother has a good temper and is easy to get along with. However, don't cause trouble at will just because your grandmother is kind. Remember these few months of punishment. If you make a mistake next time, I will send you to Zhuangzi, regardless of whether you are a child of a family or not. Do you understand?" Jia He said.
"Understood," the three concubines said in unison.
"Since that's the case, then serve tea to your grandmother now, Nanny Gui!" Jia He Shi gave Nanny Gui a look and Nanny Gui quickly let the servant girl who was carrying the tea walk out.
"Grandmother drinking tea" started from Hong Xiu, then from Tian Xiang, and finally from You. One by one, they served Xia Lu tea. Xia Lu took a sip of each cup of tea. After drinking all the tea, Xia Lu said, "I came in a hurry today and did not bring anything to give you. When I go back, I will send a servant girl to send it to you. I hope that you can serve your master well in the future and not make him unhappy, understand?"
"Yes." The three concubines showed a submissive expression.
"Alright, the tea has been drunk. You all can go back and rest," Jia He said.
"Yes." The three concubines left Ninggyeongdang one after another.
Jia He was very satisfied with Xia Lu's performance today. Today, she did not even let Xia Lu serve her breakfast for a while. Instead, she directly let Xia Lu sit at the table and accompany her for breakfast.
Xia Lu said that she did not care about Jia He's small favor at all. Even if she let the people here choose, she did not need to serve her mother-in-law's breakfast in exchange for a few concubines coming to snatch her Husband. Who would be willing to do that? It was a completely unprofitable deal. However, things had already come to this point. She felt that she still had to make good use of the time and train Jia Zhen well. She would not share a cucumber with others. She found it dirty. Therefore, all of this could only be done with Jia Zhen. If Jia Zhen kept her chastity, her mother-in-law would have nothing to say. Xia Lu looked at the breakfast in front of her and smiled. Because she had already thought about how to deal with Jia Zhen.
On the way back to her courtyard, Mrs. You felt that something was wrong. It was the first time she met her grandmother, but she felt that her grandmother was a little familiar. However, she could not remember where she had seen her grandmother.
"What's wrong with you?" Tian Xiang noticed that Mrs. You was a little strange and asked.
"Nothing. I just feel that your grandmother is a little familiar," Mrs. You said.
"You? Don't try to worm your way into being friends with my grandmother. She grew up in the northwest and returned to the capital last year. Not long after that, she was engaged to my lord. She married him in February this year. After marrying him, she basically did not go out. You? Where are you going to see my grandmother? Do you really think that by saying a few good words, you can curry favor with grandma and then get special treatment from me? In your dreams! "Hong Xiu said disdainfully. In her eyes, Madam You was playing tricks by saying this.
Mrs. You was too lazy to argue with her. She really felt that she had seen her grandmother somewhere before, but she could not remember at all. It really gave her a headache. Mrs. You never thought that Xia Lu would be so bold as to dress up as a man and go to the Qian Family with the Jia Zhen.
In her heart, she thought that it would be great if she really had a relationship with her grandmother. In this way, her life in Ningguo Province would be better. At that time, she could really get her lord's favor. That would be great.
After Xia Lu and her mother-in-law finished breakfast, her mother-in-law let her go. Xia Lu returned to the Sakura Temple. The Jia Zhen was having breakfast.
"Why are you back so early today? Do you want to have breakfast?" the Jia Zhen asked.
"No, you can eat by yourself." Xia Lu sat opposite the Jia Zhen and served him food.
Seeing that Xia Lu did not want to eat, the Jia Zhen did not force him. He had eaten some at the Sakura Temple before greeting his wife. Then, he had eaten some at his wife's place, so he was definitely not hungry now. However, he was really hungry now after practicing martial arts for an hour.
Xia Lu waited for the Jia Zhen to finish breakfast before he said, "Today, I saw three beauties at my wife's place." Xia Lu smiled. His eyes and face were full of satisfaction with the three beauties. "They are really beautiful. Their hands, faces, and figures are all first-class. What do you think? I'll ask them to come over more to relieve my boredom in the future. What do you think?" Xia Lu's eyes lit up as he looked at the Jia Zhen excitedly.
The Jia Zhen, who had just finished breakfast, immediately pulled a long face. He had already seen the green hat on his head.
"I heard from Madam that the three beauties are your concubines. I didn't expect you to be so lucky. Hehe, I'm their grandmother. I can ask them to accompany me every day to relieve my boredom." Xia Lu's eyes became brighter as he spoke. He seemed to see a bright future.
"You're not allowed." The Jia Zhen's face was gloomy as he squeezed out two words from his throat.
"Don't be so stingy. It's not easy for me to see a few beauties, and you won't take me to Jiangnan. If we go to Jiangnan, I definitely won't fight over these beauties with you. However, in this manor, there are only three beauties whose appearances and figures can compare to those from Jiangnan. Why are you being so stingy? I don't have that plaything, so I can't really do anything to them." Xia Lu sat next to Jia Zhen, acting as if they were good brothers, and Jia Zhen's woman was his woman.
"Violent woman, do you still know that you are a woman? You are my wife. When you see those three concubines, you should be jealous of them. Do you understand? " The Jia Zhen was about to explode with anger. He thought to himself that tomorrow, no, he would send those three concubines away today. Otherwise, there would be a day when the green hat on his head would be cuckolded.
"Why should I be jealous of them? They are all as beautiful as flowers and jade. I can't wait to dote on them." Xia Lu pretended to be confused.
The Jia Zhen felt a headache coming on. He was about to go crazy. He stood up with a swish. "I'll go and tell Madam to send those three away. You wait for me." You like those three women. Let's see how you like them after I send them away. "
"I don't think you can send them away now. I just drank their tea in Madam's room. Madam definitely won't let you send them away. I'll go find Xiao Cui now and go with her to the storeroom to see if there's anything I can give them. It's the first time I meet them, so I have to give them some gifts." Xia Lu happily went out to find Xiao Cui, leaving the Jia Zhen alone in the room.
After Xia Lu went to the storeroom, the Jia Zhen thought for a while, got up, and walked directly to Ninggyeongdang. "You're here.
Come and sit down. Look at you. You're sweating. Although it's already autumn, the heat is still very strong. If you have something to do, you can come over at night. Why are you here now? "Mrs. Jia gestured to Mama Gui to pour a cup of tea for the Jia Zhen to relieve the heat.
"Madam, have you released those three women?" the Jia Zhen asked with some emotion.
"Yes. After all, they have been locked up for several months. It won't look good if I don't let them out. What's wrong? Did your wife say something to you? Is she unhappy? " Mrs. Jia's eyes flashed. Just now, the Xia Clan acted normal and virtuous in front of her. Could it be that they began to cry to Zheng'er when they turned around?
"She was quite happy. She went to the storeroom to look for gifts for the three women." The Jia Zhen pursed his lips and was very dissatisfied.
"Isn't that good? You have a virtuous wife and beautiful concubines. You can enjoy the happiness of having multiple wives. This is something that those people can't even envy. Now you want to send them away. What are you thinking?" Mrs. Jia was puzzled.
Enjoy the happiness of having multiple wives? Was it him or the violent woman who should enjoy it? He had already seen the green hat on his head. How could he enjoy the happiness of having multiple wives? However, he couldn't tell his wife that the violent woman liked other women. If he told her, others would think that he was useless and couldn't attract his wife. The Jia Zhen felt very aggrieved.
Since he couldn't say this, he could only start from the mistakes made by these concubines. "I think that those three women are not honest at all. For example, Hong Xiu …" The Jia Zhen told him about how Hong Xiu bribed Xiao Cui and how she came to play tricks in front of him.
"Child, you've grown up quite quickly recently. You don't even fall for the honey trap now." Madam Jia He nodded with appreciation. Sure enough, Zhen 'er was the son of the master after all. He was not a fool.
When the Jia Zhen heard Mrs. Jia praising him, he thought that his strategy had worked. He looked at Mrs. Jia with bright eyes.
"Child, why didn't you say it at that time? Now that your wife has drunk their tea, you didn't pursue it at that time. Let her go this time. If she does it again, you won't let her go. Okay? "
