Actually, in the Dashun Dynasty, for some large families, when the head wife enters the fu, the maidservants brought along as dowry would mostly be taken in by the master, unless the master really did not have that intention. This was done mainly to ensure the head wife's position in the family, because it was natural for men to take in concubines in this era. Then, rather than taking in someone else to fight for favour with the head wife, it would be better to send in one's most trusted maidservant. This way, it would have a monitoring effect.
But madam Lu did not think this way. She would rather have a woman she did not know enter the fu to fight for favour. At worst, she would take care of one who came. If they dared to touch her territory, she would not be lenient. But her own maidservant would not do, she felt disgusted. Previously, magistrate Lu had mentioned once that he wanted to take that girl in as a concubine, but she did not do it. She even gave that girl the cold shoulder for a while, even thinking of sending her out of the fu. But that lass was indeed good at hiding things, and she was also good at stirring up trouble. She kept trying to curry favor with her, and slowly, she let the matter go. But she did not expect that the two of them had already planned this beforehand. They were just going to a faraway place, but they actually did it on this ship.
The more madam Lu thought about it, the angrier she became. She was so angry that she used all her strength to hit the deck.
Feng Yu Heng walked towards her while taking out a few pastries from her space. She used a small plate to hold it in her hand. When she got closer, she softly said: "Madam Lu, don't get angry. Be careful not to harm your body." Then she handed over the plate of pastries and said: "My family's young madam knows that madam likes to eat these pastries, so she specially told this servant to bring some over."
Madam Lu was stunned. She turned her head to look at Feng Yu Heng in astonishment, then looked at the pastries in her hand. She asked in confusion: "Your family's young madam? Who is it? Who said that I like to eat these kinds of things? I never eat pastries. What I hate the most is eating pastries! "
"Yi?" Feng Yu Heng's face revealed an astonished expression, "It was magistrate Lu who said it! During the day, we sent pastries to young master and young madam. Magistrate Lu saw it and said that madam likes it, so he wanted to buy some from us. My family's young madam saw that he loved his wife, so she specially gave him a plate of pastries! "
"What?" Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth. "Damn it, since when did I like eating snacks? From the day I married him, he knew that I don't eat desserts. I … "She suddenly paused, and then her expression became even more sinister." The one who loves desserts is that little b * tch. That b * tch loves sweets the most. Lu Qingsheng is asking for desserts for that b * tch! "The more Madam Lu spoke, the more agitated she became. She slapped the dessert in Feng Yu Heng's hand away." Get lost! Take this disgusting thing away. "As he spoke, he kicked the desserts that had fallen to the ground. With a few kicks, they all fell into the river.
Feng Yu Heng sneered in her heart. As expected, she used this to test Madam Lu. If she really liked to eat, then she could use this opportunity to get closer to her. If Madam Lu didn't like it, then it meant that the desserts during the day were clearly the result of that maidservant's craving. She just happened to be on the same side as that maidservant and was inhumanely despising that maidservant.
"Madam, please don't be agitated. It's not worth getting angry with someone who has already been fed fish and prawns." She pushed back the madam who was about to get up and find magistrate Lu to settle the score. Then, she faced the other party's angry gaze and sighed, saying: "You can't blame madam for being angry. That maidservant's courage is too big. She actually dared to set her sights on master. This kind of woman is the most annoying. Not to mention her moving husband, she even moved her own madam. It's a shame that she still has the nerve to stay by madam's side to serve. This servant really feels indignant on madam's behalf. "
Why else would it be said that when a woman suffered this kind of grievance, what she needed wasn't a rational bystander to give her chicken soup for the soul. Instead, she needed an irrational close friend to curse that evil man and that b * tch with her. Feng Yu Heng successfully grasped madam Lu's mentality. With a few words, she immediately received an immediate effect. She saw madam Lu nod her head and say: "You're right. She has an unclear relationship with those servants. I can act as if I didn't see it, but she can't touch my husband. Outsiders can touch him, but not him. I will be disgusted."
Once madam Lu's chatterbox was opened, she spoke endlessly. Ever since she was in her maternal home, that maidservant had always served her. She treated that maidservant like a sister. She spoke until she got married. That maidservant cried and begged her not to be left behind. Thus, she brought that maidservant along and married into the Lu household. This feeling of being betrayed by a sister was the most despairing. Madam Lu said: "How can there be that kind of woman willing to be someone's concubine? Does she not understand? She would rather go to a small family to be a commoner's wife than go to a large residence to be a rich man's concubine! A concubine is not as good as a servant. As long as a servant works well, they will receive the master's appreciation. There will be food, clothes, and rewards. As for a concubine, even if she doesn't do anything, as long as she exists, she will annoy the Mistress. And when the Mistress is annoyed, she will definitely vent her anger on them. "
Feng Yu Heng sighed in her heart. Although this madam Lu's personal image was not very good, and her character and upbringing were not considered good, she was able to see clearly enough in this kind of matter. Her analysis was also on point. Unfortunately, in this era, how many people would be able to understand this kind of reasoning?
She lightly patted the back of madam Lu's hand and said to her: "Madam's thoughts are clear. How could a maidservant understand this kind of reasoning? That maidservant reaped what she sowed and has now been thrown into the river to feed the fishes. From today onwards, madam will have removed a hidden danger by your side. "
Madam Lu coldly snorted, "That's true. It's just a pity. If I had known this would happen, I would have brought along more servants when I went out. " When she said this, her anger from before finally subsided a little. Looking at Feng Yu Heng again, she couldn't help but ask doubtfully: "You, this maidservant, are extremely sensible and also very good at talking with your master. Just now, you said something about a young madam. Who is your family's young madam? "
Feng Yu Heng told her: "Our family's young madam is the current court's Right Prime Minister Feng's daughter-in-law." As she said this, she sighed and said: "We both live in deep residences and large courtyards. Every family has its own difficulties. Actually, the young madam's life is not as good as outsiders think."
This was the second method to win over people's hearts. Using the same kind of suffering to exchange for it, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
As expected, madam Lu was endlessly interested. At the same time, she was also secretly shocked by the identity of the young madam that Feng Yu Heng mentioned.
Right Prime Minister. She had heard from her maternal family that the current court's Right Prime Minister, Feng Qin, had always been in a neutral position. On the surface, he did not help anyone, but in reality, he was very close to the seventh prince. That seventh prince seemed to be a person who stood aloof from worldly affairs. However, after so many years, even if he did not fight, he did not fall behind in the slightest. Moreover, the seventh prince and the Ninth Prince were raised by the same mother. They were basically in cahoots.
Madam Lu's thoughts turned and almost had the same idea as Feng Yu Heng. Feng Yu Heng took the opportunity to get close to her with a purpose. Now, she also had a purpose to chat with her. However, she knew in her heart that her maternal family was not very willing to have more contact with the Duanmu family. They had also reminded her. However, she wholeheartedly wanted to use the power of the Duanmu family to help her husband climb to a higher level and make her life better. She more or less knew about the Duanmu family's thoughts. Although she did not understand the essence, she also understood that the North Land was singing a different tune from the Ninth Prince's branch.
If she could get some inside information from this girl, she would have more confidence in this trip to the North Land.
When she thought of this, she immediately acted as if she was willing to chat with her. She asked Feng Yu Heng, "Why, is your young mistress also not living well?"
Feng Yu Heng sighed again. She half-knelt on the deck and said softly, "Normally, it is not good for a servant to talk behind her master's back. However, I am also the young mistress's maidservant. Ever since I followed Madam to the Duanmu family, I watched the young master take concubines one after another into the residence. Madam washed her face with tears all day long. She really felt terrible."
Madam Lu secretly rejoiced in her heart. This girl was still too young and immature. She had only said a few words and she was already able to make the other party complain. Such a silly child was the most suitable to get information from. Thus, she hurriedly asked, "If that's the case, your young mistress also has a hard life. However, even if she cannot resist, she should not wash her face with tears all day long. At least she should fight back. Those concubines are the easiest to deal with. Even if they are beaten to death, it is not a big deal. However, speaking of which, is the Right Prime Minister's son very lustful? "
Feng Yu Heng looked a little conflicted. It seemed like she wanted to say something, but also didn't want to say it. As a servant, her performance had to make Madam Lu feel that she was in a difficult position.
Madam Lu hurriedly persuaded, "It's fine. You can tell me. I won't tell anyone. Ai, we are both pitiful people. Hearing about your young mistress's matters, it is as if I am looking at my past self. " As she spoke, she wiped away some tears. Pulling Feng Yu Heng over, she said: "Servant, you are quite pitiful. You are at your master's side at such a young age, yet your master is not favored."
Feng Yu Heng's face was covered with a layer of sadness. She pretended to open her heart and also wiped away her tears, "Madam Lu is truly a good person. To be honest, our young master is not only lustful, he is simply … simply excessively licentious. At home, the young mistress is scolded and beaten. Although she can still be given some face when she comes out, we servants are all sweating, guarding against the young master who knows when he will get angry again. "
Madam Lu sighed on the surface, but in her heart, she was thinking. The Right Prime Minister was a dignified standard first rank official. Who would have thought that his son would be like this. As the dowry of the mistress, this little girl obviously knew a lot. It would be good if she could get more information out of her. However, she could not ask anymore, otherwise, it would be easy for things to backfire.
Feng Yu Heng stared at Madam Lu. She had completely guessed the other party's thoughts. This was good. This was her most fundamental goal. If she blindly wormed her way into being friends, the probability of this matter succeeding was too low. What she needed was for Madam Lu to be interested in her. Thus, the two of them would be closer. This matter of initiative would be transferred to Madam Lu.
She wiped away the tears on her face. Tilting her head, she happened to see a woman wearing a veil over her head walking towards Wang Chuan and Yuan Fei's private room. She raised her lips and smiled lightly. Then, she quickly revealed an aggrieved expression. Pointing in the direction of the private room, she said to Madam Lu, "Madam, look, the young master is so inseparable from women."
Madam Lu looked in the direction of her finger and saw the woman knock on the door of a private room. A young man walked out, and the woman immediately wrapped her arms around him.
Feng Yu Heng sniffled, "Our young mistress is still in the private room. How can the young master be like this?" As she spoke, she got up and ran towards the private room.
