Chapter 13: The Concubine's Servant Girl

o attend to, and he left the house after lunch. Meng Jin Yao didn't hide anything, she told the truth. After all, Zhang shi manages the household affairs, and even knew about Meng Jin Yao going to the...As the dust settled and peace returned to the house, Gu Jingxi noticed Meng Jin Yao looking at him with a curious expression. "My lady, why are you looking at me like that"

Meng Jin Yao shook her head slightly: "It's nothing, I thought my husband wouldn't want to send them to the country estate."

Gu Jingxi said, as if it were obvious: "A maidservant who gossips behind others' backs shouldn't be kept. There's nothing to hesitate about." He glanced at his young wife, this girl who was originally supposed to become his daughter-in-law but had become his wife by a twist of fate. Even the maidservants in Wei Rui Xuan would gossip about her behind her back. In the future, she would likely face countless rumors and slander.

“It's quite normal for a husband to have several charming concubines. Just now, those two maidservants each had their own unique charm. They were both very beautiful, one slender and the other voluptuous, each with their own distinctive features. Maidens as pretty as them are rarely just simple maids.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxi frowned subtly, and asked with an unclear meaning: "Madam thinks that I would have a concubine All the maids in this courtyard were chosen by my mother. If Madam dislikes them, just send them elsewhere."

Meng Jinyao was speechless for a moment: “...”

She suddenly remembered her new husband's shortcomings, and instantly regretted speaking out. Why did she have to say something It was like poking a hornet's nest! Telling this man, who was practically like a brother to her, that his concubine was actually a servant girl – wasn't she humiliating him

The maidservants in Wei Rui Xuan were all beautiful, each a picture of loveliness, making people delighted to behold them. Even the rougher maidservants were pretty. This was likely due to Gu Jingxi's hidden illness, and having beautiful maidservants could perhaps pique his interest, aiding in the treatment of his ailment.

Now these beautiful maids have become decorations, none of them are useful. It proves that Gu Jingxi's hidden illness has not improved, and it is unknown whether there is any hope of healing in this lifetime.

Gu Jingxi said again: "I'm sorry to trouble you, madam."

Meng Jinyang hurriedly shook her head: "Husband, I don't mind. This kind of thing is nothing to me."

Gu Jingxi questioned, "What's the matter"

Meng Jin Yao's cheeks flushed, with a hint of reproach for his knowing question. She answered shyly: "It's about... intimacy."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi looked at her strangely and said softly, "I'm saying that since Madam just married in, she was treated like this, causing Madam to be wronged. It is also because I am usually busy with official duties and negligent in management that they dared to gossip behind her back.

"Um... ah"

Meng Jinyao's face flushed instantly, her head buzzing. Facing his embarrassed expression, she felt so awkward that she could dig up a patch of land with her toes. She wished she could find a hole to hide in. She had been talking about something serious, but she ended up bringing up intimate matters. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was incredibly eager.

Her tongue felt like it was tied in knots, she stuttered as she explained: “Husband, I, I didn’t mean to bring this up.”

Gu Jingxi nonchalantly said, "It's fine, it's the truth anyway. As long as Madam doesn't mind."

Having said that, he began to examine the room that was both familiar and strange. He felt a little out of place. His room had been transformed into a girl's boudoir, a world apart from its former self. It gave him the uncanny feeling of having wandered into a teenage girl's bedroom by accident.

Meng Jin Yao also looked around and said, "If my husband doesn't like it, I will have the maidservant restore it to its original state."

It's fine as long as the lady likes it.

Gu Jingxi replied that he was busy with official duties during the day and only returned in the evening. This was just a place to sleep, he didn't have any special requirements, so how it was decorated was up to Meng Jin Yao.

Having married into the Gu family, this young girl has been wronged. He can still satisfy this small request of hers. He already has a son, so now he'll just treat her as another daughter.n-laws were demanding she liquidate her entire dowry to plug that financial holeBack then, the generous dowry Zhou's family had left her was under her management. But the silver earned from those esta...
