The Green Tea Lady was reborn as the God of House Fighting

Chapter 69: The wife and concubine quarrel

When Aunt Xu came in, she happened to hear Aunt Zhu and Aunt Du talking about the new favorite.

"Yesterday I went to the study to bring soup to the master," Aunt Zhu sighed, "and I heard the singing. It was like an oriole, melodious and beautiful!"

Aunt Du also smiled and said, "Madam's gift really touched the master's heart."

One of them was old and ugly, and the other was not favored much, so they no longer hoped that the master would think of them again.

But these words hit the heart of Aunt Xu, who had been favored for many years.

"He's just an actor!" She happened to hear this when she walked in, and couldn't help but say in a low voice.

Aunt Du depended on her for her livelihood, so she coughed lightly, smiled gently and picked her up.

"Yes, she is only a flash in the pan. How can she be as popular as Madam Xu in winning the master's favor?"

However, Aunt Zhu couldn't stand Aunt Xu's behavior, so she curled her lips and turned her head away.

Just at this moment, there was a slight "click" sound from the bead curtain, and a figure slowly walked out from the inner room. It was the wife.

The lady's face showed both the satisfaction of having surpassed Aunt Xu, but also a barely perceptible bitterness. She sat down at the head of the table with a calm expression and spoke slowly.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively."

Having said that, the aunts all knew that she must have heard it.

Aunt Zhu smiled and said, "It is said that Madam has a unique vision. Aunt Xi is so favored, who knows, she may get pregnant someday."

In this way, if a boy is born, the main courtyard will have two brothers.

The lady's expression softened a little, and a smile appeared on her face: "That depends on Aunt Xi's luck."

"Yes," Aunt Xu couldn't help but said with a hint of sarcasm, "Madam is so virtuous and generous, she is indeed a legitimate wife. I am ashamed to be inferior to her."

The lady's expression paled a little, and she glanced at her calmly. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a figure come in, and stepped forward to greet her with a smile.

"Greetings to the Madam." The person who came was the concubine Xi who they were talking about, and Ruan Yuluan couldn't help but look at her gently.

The young woman was wearing a silver-red satin skirt with a pattern of auspicious butterflies. She had a slender waist and a thin scarlet blouse embroidered with cloud patterns. Her black hair was skillfully tied into a bun and hung behind her head. When she smiled, the gold hairpins and jade rings in her bun swayed gently, making crisp sounds.

She was indeed a beautiful woman, and her temper was more exposed than that of Aunt Xu, with her laughter, anger and scolding coming from time to time.

As soon as Aunt Xi sat down, she couldn't help but smile at the other aunts and said, "I'm listening, were the sisters talking about me just now?"

Several people looked a little embarrassed. But she smiled with her hands covering her lips, stared at Aunt Xu and said, "Sister Xu, why are you scolding your own people?"

"You and I both come from the lowest class. I am an actor, so what are you, sister? Aren't you even dirtier than me?"

Aunt Xu was born a prostitute in a brothel. She ridiculed Aunt Xi for her lowly background, which was really a slap in her own face.

Ruan Yuluan saw Aunt Xu's face change rarely and sneered.

"Just pray to God, and hope that the favor you have received because of your youth and beauty can last a little longer! Who hasn't been young before? Don't act so frivolous in front of anyone!"

Aunt Xu has always been very dignified, and I have never seen her scold people so bluntly. It seems that this really irritated her.

She couldn't bear it any longer, so she stood up and left.

A smile appeared on the lady's face. She looked at Aunt Xi and both of them were happy.

Ruan Yuluan looked on coldly, feeling that each woman in the back house had her own difficulties.

The wife had the status of a legitimate wife, but she could not win the favor of her husband, so she had to push other women into his arms to consolidate her own position.

Aunt Xu was favored but had no status. She was a concubine and was overshadowed by the lady all her life, and could not be accepted into the upper class.

But she was already in a good position in the inner house of the Ruan family - the remaining concubines Zhu, Du and Su could probably only sit and talk with Master Ruan during the holidays, and they had to be alert at all times and not go past the Madam to talk to Concubine Xu.

In this way, he spent most of his life in the inner house.

And concubine Xi and concubines Bai and Bai, looking young and beautiful, were very favored... However, the women in the inner palace could never escape the fate of "beauty fades and love wanes".
