Chapter 151: Dismissal of concubines

Mrs. Wu Anhou was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Mama Zhou's face, she knew that she was thinking about something, so she couldn't help but chuckle and patted her hands, "I'm naturally fine!" We'll be fine! I only said that I couldn't keep the Hou Mansion, but I didn't say that I couldn't keep people! ”

Mama Zhou reacted for a while before she understood the meaning of Mrs. Wu'anhou's words, but her face turned even paler.

The Marquis of Wu'an has been loyal for generations, but finally, it has taken this step.

Mrs. Wu Anhou didn't speak again, just stared at the clear blue sky outside the window, a bird flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.

Mu Zi changed into a blue silk and purple flower skirt and came out, and saw that the nurse was sitting on the carpet with Sister Yuan to play with the tiger, and the little girl's small figure somehow gave Mu Zi a feeling of loneliness.

Perhaps, it's time for her to find some playmates for Sister Yuan! Mu Zi thought for a while and asked Ah Jiu, "Are there any younger and more stable children in the house?" ”

Hearing this, Ah Jiu immediately understood Mu Zi's intentions, she thought for a while and said, "The slave maid has seen Steward Liu's daughter, called Lotus, the second in the family, seven years old this year, and there is a three-year-old brother below, it is said that Steward Liu's youngest son is brought up by Lotus!" ”

Steward Liu is the old steward of the Hou Mansion, in charge of the procurement of the Hou Mansion, he is a steady and down-to-earth person, he has served in the Hou Mansion since his great-grandfather's generation, and in terms of loyalty, Mu Zi is still trustworthy.

She nodded and said to Ah Jiu, "Then take her to her mother another day!" ”

"Yes!" Ah Jiu hurriedly responded.

Seeing that the hour was almost up, Mu Zi took Sister Yuan and walked towards the front yard, and after meeting with Mrs. Wu Anhou, they took a car to the British Mansion together.

On the way, Mrs. Wu Anhou talked about the reason for going to the British Mansion today, and Mu Zi learned that the British Duke had dismissed his concubine and Tongfang a few days ago.

"W-why is that?" Mu Zi was very surprised, dismissal is different from sending people to Zhuangzi, although they are all sending people away, but if they are just sent to Zhuangzi, this person still belongs to the Hou Mansion, if it is dismissed, there is an essential difference, because dismissal means that the person will be completely disconnected from the Hou Mansion in the future, even the biological children will not be recognized, the master's family will not only return the deed of sale, but even give an extra sum of money, which is counted as severance pay, and the dismissed concubine or Tongfang can marry separately.

Usually, people's treatment of concubines is either to send them to Zhuangzi from afar, or to let them "die of illness", and few people will dismiss the concubines. Because of the possessiveness of men, few people are willing to let the concubines who have served them marry someone else.

This is what Mu Zi was surprised by. For the British government, it is a very simple matter to let these concubines quietly "die", why do they have to be dismissed, there are a lot of rumors.

"Because of your Aunt Gu, she doesn't want to endure it!" Mrs. Wu Anhou punned.

Mu Zi frowned and thought about it when she heard this, and then she understood the meaning of Mrs. Wu Anhou's words, the British duchess didn't want to put up with those women anymore, and she didn't want to bear them to die but still be in the name of the British concubine.

Mu Zi didn't understand before, with the determination and tenacity of the British duchess, how could she be willing to share her husband with other women, not to mention, the British duchess has a very favored concubine, and the treatment of the concubine is almost the same as that of the concubine.

Now she understands that she has endured it for so many years before, but it is just because she is forced by the form, and it is also because she has affection in her heart, and she can't bear to embarrass that person.
