When Mrs. Xu heard the news, she was so angry that her hands were shaking.

After the banquet, Old Madam Xie took several mistresses from the Xie Mansion to talk in Xie Zhaozhao's yard.

Xie Xiangxiang left Anxiang and Xunmei in Fanghua Garden, and went to Qingpu Courtyard with only Nanny Wei.

Xu deliberately mentioned Guan Yingying and angrily said to Xie Zhaozhao: "Aunt Yue is too arrogant and doesn't take the mistress seriously at all."

As soon as Mrs. Xie heard this, she knew that Xu was trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and she said unhappily, "What did you tell the eldest young lady about what happened in the young master's courtyard?"

Wiping her tears, Xu said, "Xiangxiang is stupid. I beg mother to have pity on her and Miss to take care of her."

Want me to confront Guan Yingying? Xie Zhaozhao looked at her anxious grandmother, smiled comfortingly, and gently moved the tea leaves with the lid of the teacup.

She said calmly, "The young lady is the mistress, and Aunt Yue is just a concubine. The hierarchy is clear. If you don't follow the rules, you should be beaten and punished. If you don't change after repeated admonitions, you will be caned to death."

Xie Xiangxiang felt that Xie Zhaozhao was speaking without any hesitation, and said, "The eldest young master is with her all the time, and there are no rules at all. He has never treated me as his mistress. I also want to set rules for her, but I can't change her."

"The eldest young master only has one concubine now. What if there are more? Why is she still so free?"

Xie Zhaozhao said calmly, “The two big maids in the eldest young master’s courtyard were in his room before Aunt Yue.

You might as well be more generous and give them face by officially becoming concubines. They will naturally be very grateful to you."

Xu had understood it a long time ago, and said to Xie Xiangxiang: "Your elder sister is right, you should be more generous and give them the two big maids in the young master's room, let them serve the eldest young master together with Aunt Yue, and reduce Aunt Yue's burden."

Xu sat here for a while, then accompanied Xie Xiangxiang to Fanghua Garden and sat for a while before returning to the Xie Mansion with Old Madam Xie and Second Madam Xie.

After the banquet, Xie Xiangxiang went to Tu's yard to pay her respects.

Tu hated Xie Zhaozhao and was so angry that she took it out on Xie Xiangxiang.

"When are you going to consummate your marriage with the young master?"

"This is not my problem, but my husband's decision on when to consummate the marriage. He stays in Aunt Yue's room all day, so I can't squeeze in to the mulberry garden."

Xie Xiangxiang didn't show it on her face, but in her heart she wanted to spit on Tu's face.

Tu was annoyed: "Forget it, I'll tell Yan'er later."

"Mother, I just found out today that Shaoyao and Bailing in the eldest young master's room were his people a few years ago. Now they are not young anymore. I want to give them a chance and let the eldest young master take them in. If they are lucky enough to have a boy or a girl, they will have someone to rely on for the rest of their lives."

Seeing that she brought this up on her own initiative, Mrs. Tu nodded and said, "You've got a good idea. Shaoyao and Bailing are both first-rate looking, many times prettier than that Yue Yi Niang. They're also smart, and they'll definitely be able to pull the young master back from that woman, which will be good for you, too."

As they were talking, the matter was settled.

This is the case with the current mother-in-law. She has been fighting with her husband's concubines all her life, but when it comes to her son's turn, she can't wait to take in more concubines for her son.

If a son has few women, his daughter-in-law will be jealous.

After receiving Tu's instructions, Xie Xiangxiang called Gu Chengyan in the evening. His consent was required for taking a concubine.

When Gu Chengyan heard that he was going to take a concubine, he immediately jumped up and said, "No, I only want Qianyue. I won't touch anyone else even if you take her."

Xie Xiangxiang said: "I didn't force you to go to their room. They have all been with you. You have a status with them, and you have someone to rely on for the rest of your life."

Gu Chengyan said: "You'd better not meddle in other people's business. I don't want a concubine."

"It's okay, I'll just give you a status, you don't have to have sex."

As a greeting, Xie Xiangxiang went to find Shaoyao and Bai Ling, saying that she wanted to promote them to be Gu Chengyan's concubines.

Shaoyao and Bai Ling were so shocked that they kowtowed to Xie Xiangxiang desperately and immediately bowed down to thank their mistress.

They all followed Gu Chengyan when they were young, but later Gu Chengyan had a concubine Yue and never touched them again.

Now that she has become his official concubine, and his mistress Xie Xiangxiang is easy to get along with, they are all very happy.

As for Aunt Yue, the two said that they would definitely fight her to death to vent their anger on their mistress, as she was old, ugly and unruly.

Xie Xiangxiang acted quickly and made concessions to Shaoyao and Bai Ling, arranging them in two courtyards not far from Qinyaxuan. Because Shaoyao's real surname was Hua, the two of them were called Aunt Hua and Aunt Bai.

They were each given four sets of new pink clothes, new shoes, fifty strings of cash, and a set of gold hairpins and bracelets.

When Mrs. Lu heard about it, she gave the two concubines another ten strings of money and some clothes and shoes.

Aunt Hua and Aunt Bai kowtowed to Xie Xiangxiang and served her tea, and the two concubines became concubines.

Anxiang got a golden hairpin from Guan Yingying. Xie Xiangxiang knew about it but pretended not to know.

He showed her the gifts given to Shaoyao and Bailing one by one, and said deliberately: "I will not treat anyone who is loyal to me unfairly."

Anxiang and Xunmei were extremely envious.

They originally looked down on Xie Xiangxiang, but now seeing that Xie Xiangxiang was quite capable, they all secretly expressed their loyalty to her.

Xie Xiangxiang took Concubine Hua and Concubine Bai to kowtow to Tu and the old lady, and then said to the old lady: "Grandmother, please give Anxiang and Xunmei to me. I see that they are very clever and skillful, and they are not young anymore. They will have to get married soon. I can't bear to let them go. We know each other well, so I want them to be servants of the young master. What do you think, Grandmother?"

Anxiang and Xunmei are both the old lady's subordinates. It would be best if they could give her grandson.

Seeing that Xie Xiangxiang was "sensible", the old lady also told Xie Xiangxiang and Gu Chengyan to consummate their marriage as soon as possible and give birth to a legitimate son.

Xie Xiangxiang agreed readily, went back, found Gu Chengyan, and told him what the old lady had said: "Grandmother doesn't want them to marry far away, so she wants the eldest young master to stay at home..."

Gu Chengyan had just secretly taken the panacea, and his mind was still somewhat rational.

When she heard that he was going to take two concubines, she immediately got angry.

"No, why would I have so many women? I promised Qianyue that we would be together for life. If she knew, wouldn't she be mad to death?"

Xie Xiangxiang said calmly: "Either you go and tell your grandmother, or I go talk to Aunt Yue?"

Gu Chengyan was so angry that he kicked the coffee table: "I won't accept them..."

Unexpectedly, after one kick, he had no strength left in his body and fell down limply, but Guan Yingying's face appeared in front of him.

He smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xie Xiangxiang felt something was wrong, so she waved her hand in front of his eyes and asked, "What did you say?"

"Come here, I miss you..."

Xie Xiangxiang didn't go over. With that look in her eyes, he was definitely not thinking of her.

She called Wei Mama and Qiu Feng to help him to Qin Yaxuan, and informed Shaoyao and Bai Ling: "The eldest young master wants someone to serve him. You two, take care of it yourselves."

After Shaoyao and Bailing left, Xie Xiangxiang found Anxiang and Xunmei and said, "You guys go too. Use whatever means you have. Whoever becomes his woman, I will give her a face tomorrow."
