Chapter 88: The Counterattack of the Maid in the Room (32)
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard Chu Yunyun's words, why did they suddenly change? No, after all, she had never objected from the beginning, and they had always been trying to stop the opposition.
In the past, I heard that some of the main rooms took the initiative to arrange maids for their husbands, but the concubine room is different, that is also a dowry carried into the house in a sedan chair, and these are only women who are getting older or have difficult heirs will do. Chu Yunyun's situation is completely different, could it be that the lady of the big family can really be virtuous and generous?
"My son, don't say anything angry, it's this stinky boy who made a mistake today, your father and I are firmly on your side, and we will definitely not let you suffer any grievances." Mrs. Lin didn't know if Chu Yunyun was testing them, but she understood that the woman was talking generously, and she couldn't tell how jealous she was in her heart. It doesn't matter if Chu Yunyun is true or fake, as long as she doesn't break up with us.
"And me, sister-in-law, I'm also on your side. Lin Feng pulled Chu Yunyun's arm and said.
"Okay, Yu'er understands that everyone really loves me, but what I said is true, besides, my husband is not wrong, three wives and four concubines are a common thing," after all, it is impossible to see courageous and responsible men like the Lu family and Chu's father everywhere, "It's just that now is not the right time, during this time, our mansion often walks around in other mansions, if this kind of unruly behavior is known to them, I am afraid that the reputation of the Lin family will be bad, and if it hinders the future development of the Lin family, it will be worth the loss." ”
Of course, Lin Peng and his wife couldn't be more aware of this, although this can be regarded as a private matter in their house, but it can also reflect how their conduct is, wasn't this exactly the case with Yaya before. If it weren't for the Chu family pressing in front, they would have been poked in the backbone in front of them, how could they have such a comfortable day now.
"Yu'er said what to do, and my father and mother listened to you. Mrs. Lin looked at Chu Yunyun.
"According to the family etiquette law, the nobles of the family usually consider formally taking a concubine after three years of marriage of the bride, but the Jiaoer girl has already given birth to a daughter for the Lin family, and the pregnancy is meritorious. It's just that Yaya was born before getting married after all, and it's a bit unpleasant to take it out as a reason to raise her aunt. Why don't you wait for the Jiao'er girl to give birth to an heir for her husband again, whether it is male or female, and directly raise her as an aunt?"
Lin Peng and Lin Feng naturally would not object, and after hearing this, Lin Xuan only felt that his wife was virtuous and dignified, as long as she was pregnant, regardless of whether she was male or female, how easy it was to meet this condition. And this is also the most polite and reasonable proposal at present, he nodded in agreement.
At this point, the turmoil caused by Lin Xuan's inexplicable words ended successfully in everyone's unanimous decision. As for Lin Jiao'er, she is just a maid, she just needs to listen to the orders of her masters, who cares what she thinks in her heart.
Lin Jiao'er tugged at the handkerchief hatefully, felt the mocking eyes cast by Mrs. Lin, looked at Lin Xuan's satisfied and appreciative eyes and dodging look in the face of herself, as well as Chu Yunyun's still calm and indifferent face, she only felt that her happy heart was taken out and fried in an oil pan at this moment, and she couldn't wait to tear these people apart as a handkerchief in her hand. But she also knew her current identity, so she could only pretend to be ashamed and unbearable and hide her face with Yaya, she was afraid that she would not be able to control her expression if she stayed any longer.
Seeing Lin Jiao'er behaving like this, everyone just didn't know what to do, and continued the dinner that had just been interrupted. After this farce, Lin Feng profoundly recognized the status of the housewife and concubine in the mansion, and strengthened his belief in being the main room, and he must grasp the sister-in-law. And Lin Xuan looked at the person who left in a hurry, only thinking that Jiao'er was unbearable for this humiliation, and he couldn't bear to embarrass him, so he could only aggrieved himself and fled back to his room, and couldn't help but feel very guilty about her.
Chu Yunyun looked at the three people whose mood was completely unaffected, and Lin Xuan, who instantly turned to sympathy for Lin Jiao'er, lowered his head and showed a smile. In Yuanguo, the nobles of the family do have this rule on concubines, but that is because the two families are married, their identities and statuses are almost the same, and they must give the bride's family face. Didn't the Lin family always want to keep up with those families, then do it right. Anyway, this kind of thing is tacit in the mansion, and outsiders can't inquire if they want to, and she is not worried that the Lin family will know the truth.
The dinner was finally over, and everyone dispersed after talking about the meeting. Chu Yunyun was dragged to her room by Lin Feng, saying that she was giving her a detailed look at the clothing matching. Chu Yunyun didn't want to go back to face Lin Xuan so early, and he was happy to cooperate with Lin Feng to act, but he just wanted her to buy some clothes and jewelry again. This matter couldn't be simpler for her, anyway, they often go to the shops under the name of the Chu family, and the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.
After dinner, Lin Xuan felt that the two of them had been sitting together and chatting too little recently, at most, Chu Yunyun came to report to him on the day's itinerary, and then she left. Originally, there were a lot of things I wanted to go back and talk to Chu Yunyun, but as soon as everyone dispersed, she was pulled away by Feng'er, and she didn't have time to stop her, so she could only watch the two disappear in front of him.
Lin Xuan saw that he was the only one left in the main hall, so he had to get up and leave. dismissed the servants who were waiting around him, and slowly walked on the way back to the small courtyard. When passing by the pond, looking at the pool of water in the candlelight under the porch, I suddenly remembered the tears in Jiao'er's eyes and her embarrassed figure when she left, and finally couldn't bear it, and wanted to go to the Peony Building to see her and comfort her, after all, her father's attitude towards Jiao'er today made her really wronged.
In fact, Lin Xuan was a little weak in his thoughts at the beginning, he went to the Peony Building for fear of being sad after his wife and father found out, thinking that he was dissatisfied with everyone's behavior and decisions; After hesitating for a while, I felt a sense of urgency, and went secretly, as long as I didn't let the ladies know. Fortunately, the servant had already been sent away by himself when he left the master's house, and no one should find out where he went.
It is not too far from here to the Peony Building, and it took a little trouble to divide the residence of Jiao'er's mother and daughter. Originally, with their identity, they were not worthy of a single courtyard, even if they were raised to an aunt and received the charity of the house's mother, and there were enough courtyards in the mansion to be able to have a single courtyard, it was difficult to achieve it with the scale of their Lin Mansion. But Lin Xuan didn't have many women, and there was no housewife at that time, Jiao'er, who was pregnant, was naturally the only one in the house, not to mention that Lin Xuan's feelings for her were special, and it was worth it for Lin Jiao'er to have a courtyard alone.
It's just that it's a little different now, the Lin Mansion already has a young lady, and there will definitely be sons and daughters in the future, and their identities must be separate courtyards. There are so few vacant houses in the house, except for the ones where the masters live, it is the best peony building, and I am afraid that it will have to be vacated in the future, unless the Lin family can immediately change to a larger mansion.
After thinking about it for a while, he arrived at the Peony Building, but Lin Xuan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why didn't a maid and servant outside the door disappear, and no one even found the rumor when he entered the courtyard gate, could it be that something really happened to Jiao'er, and everyone went to the back room?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but speed up his pace worriedly.
"Bang-"
"Whoa—"
