After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Shen Ruoyan sat upright and continued to say to the two of them: "You two, a small concubine, how can you wear red? Didn't the Duke's Palace teach you the rules of being a concubine?"

One of them, who was slightly older, boldly asked: "Who are you, this girl? Why do you take care of the family affairs of our Duke's house?"

Shen Ruoyan glanced at Li Zhihan, who was lying on the bed without saying a word, and said calmly: "Zhihan is half my sister, so I can naturally take care of my sister's affairs.

My sister has a kind-hearted nature, but she usually neglects to discipline you, which has led to your unruly appearance now.If word of this got out, wouldn't it make everyone in the capital laugh out loud?For the sake of the Duke's Mansion, I will teach you what the rules are today. "

"how dare you……"

Before the two concubines finished speaking, Shen Ruoyan's pretty face immediately darkened. It was a kind of arrogance cultivated in a wealthy family since childhood.

When the concubine saw it, she immediately stopped talking.

Shen Ruoyan did not speak loudly, but her words were powerful, "Being a concubine must have concubine rules! Let me ask you, do you come here every morning and evening to pay your respects to the mistress? The mistress is not in good health, do you concentrate on serving her? , take care of you?"

The two women were left speechless by the question.

They had not followed any of the rules Shen Ruoyan mentioned.

Just as Shen Ruoyan said, Li Zhihan has a weak temperament and never cares about these things with them, which naturally breeds their arrogance. They feel that as long as they get the favor of the prince and have a son by their side, they can sit back and relax and never take it for granted. The Crown Prince's wife took it seriously.

Seeing that the two of them were speechless, Shen Ruoyan continued: "It's okay if you don't want to abide by the rules. At the worst, you'll drag them out and sell them, and let's bring in some more people who understand the rules."

In Daning, the status of concubines is not much higher than that of slaves, and the contract of sale is held in the hands of the mistress.

If Li Zhihan really makes trouble, the Duke's wife will definitely not protect them just because they have a son, and the prince is also a master who likes the new and hates the old, so bringing in some young and beautiful ones would suit his wishes.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the two concubines had no choice but to relent, lowered their bodies and bowed to Li Zhihan in a polite manner, saying: "It was us sisters who were ignorant in the past. I am here to apologize to my sister. Please forgive me, sister." Let’s go back.”

"Who allowed you to call me sister?" Shen Ruoyan glanced at them with her exquisite phoenix eyes.

The two people immediately changed their words and said solemnly: "We are here to apologize to Madam."

"Okay, now that you understand the rules, let's talk about your two children." After suppressing the arrogance of the two concubines, Shen Ruoyan targeted the two naughty children again.

"Today you bumped into my sister and deliberately murdered the child in her belly. You are very cruel. According to the rules, you should be punished with twenty canes, but I think since you are young, if you really hit me twenty times, you will probably not even be a child. You can't even save your life. For the sake of the child in your belly, I will be generous today and give you ten blows to make you remember."

As soon as they heard that Shen Ruoyan was going to punish their child, the two concubines became anxious.

Not to mention ten slaps, their precious son has never even been willing to slap the palm of his hand since he was a child. If he really wants to get a slap, what's the point?

The two women hurriedly protected their sons and retorted to Shen Ruoyan: "You said it was intentional? They were only a few years old. They accidentally bumped into the madam because they were not paying attention. Children are not sensible. Why are you being so serious? ?”

"They are ignorant." Shen Ruoyan raised her eyes and glanced at the two of them, "Then it's better for you to be punished on your behalf. According to Daning's law, if a concubine bumps into the principal wife, she will be punished by a higher level and be dragged out and beaten with a cane for thirty years. .”

After Shen Ruoyan finished speaking, she directly pointed at a few strong old ladies and asked them to hold down the two concubines.

"Why do you punish us?" The two concubines tried to break free unwillingly.

Shen Ruoyan turned to look at Li Zhihan. After the rest, Li Zhihan's expression softened a lot. Seeing that Shen Ruoyan stood up for her like this, at this critical moment, she couldn't let go.

Even though he was a little scared, Li Zhihan still raised his voice and said, "Then am I qualified to punish you two?"

As soon as these words came out, the two concubines immediately fell silent. They just used their eyes to hint that the child's wet nurse would stand up and say a few words for them.

The wet nurse has worked in the Duke's Mansion for most of her life, and she has the most discerning ability to assess the situation. After all, the concubine is not a serious master in the manor. If she steps forward now, won't she become the leader?

This beautiful lady was not someone to be trifled with. The nanny lowered her head and pretended not to see the eyes of the two aunts. She stood straight on the spot, not daring to move.

All the maids and women on the side also lowered their heads, and no one dared to come forward to help.

"Okay, keep it down." Shen Ruoyan waved her sleeves and had the two concubines escorted away.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhihan exhaled the suffocating breath that had been stuck in his chest for a long time.

It's not like she didn't know that she could take on the role of a real wife and teach them a lesson.However, the education she received since childhood told her that as a woman, you must be dignified and generous, and you cannot argue with others at will.

Her parents were very loving and had never seen how to deal with her husband's concubine. In addition, Li Zhihan was too weak and was bound by many rules. Even if she said a few harsh words on weekdays, she was afraid of offending her husband. , I really can’t lose my face and teach these concubines how to abide by their duties.

"Don't touch me!" The two concubines saw that they were about to be pushed out and resisted with all their strength. "Li Zhihan, don't think that just because you have found someone to help you establish your authority, if you dare to touch me, I will tell you tonight." Husband, let him punish you!"

Another concubine cried to her child: "My child, your mother is about to be beaten to death. Please save your mother!"

The two little boys had always been given whatever they asked for since they were young, and they had lived a very obedient life. They had never seen such a posture before, and they were so frightened that they cried.

The older one who was smarter cried and shouted and ran to Shen Ruoyan and said loudly: "It's my fault. I deliberately hit the eldest lady's belly with my chin. I apologize to the eldest lady and you can spare my mother." Bar."

Shen Ruoyan looked at them with a cold face. All she wanted was for them to say sorry.

But these people acted like monsters and made the matter such a big deal.

But this is exactly what Shen Ruoyan wants. Isn't this why she came to the Duke's Mansion today?
