In the Daqing Dynasty, the matter of taking in concubines was always arranged by the mistress. Even concubines who came in through other means needed the approval of the mistress before they could be admitted.

My status in the mansion is low, like that of a half-servant. Although I cannot be beaten or sold at will like slaves who sell their bodies, it is common for me to be sent away if I make a mistake.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi came up with an idea.

When the time is right, she will handle Zhang Chunru's affairs personally so that Yi Han doesn't have to worry about it.

Yun Xi stood in the carriage, feeling an inexplicable sense of challenge in her heart - driving away her husband's concubine was no small matter.

Liu Banruo was sitting opposite her, and her sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.

Although Yun Xi has always acted boldly, she has become Yi Han's wife and she doesn't want outsiders to look down on her.

Therefore, she decided to be patient for the time being and wait for the right time.

In the carriage, Yi Han and Yun Xi sat side by side, his hand next to hers.

However, he was still hesitant to reach out and hold her hand.

He was full of conflicts. On the one hand, he wanted to be close to her, but on the other hand, he felt like there seemed to be something between them.

This contradictory feeling troubled him, but he also knew that he could not easily show this emotion.

He could only wait silently for the right opportunity, hoping to get closer to Yun Xi.

The carriage finally arrived at the gate of Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

Yi Han got out of the car first, and stood at the door, holding out his hand waiting for Yun Xi.

However, when Yun Xi and he jumped off the carriage at the same time, his hand unexpectedly reached out to Liu Banruo.

Yi Han was startled, but it was too late to withdraw his hand. He could only hold Liu Banruo's hand and let her get off the carriage safely.

At this moment, his heart was filled with embarrassment and helplessness.

Liu Prajna looked at Yun Xi with a smug look on her face, as if showing off her victory.

Yun Xi had a calm expression on her face, as if she didn't take the matter to heart.

In front of the Marquis Wu'an's mansion, Marquis Wu'an, his family and servants lined up neatly, awaiting Yi Han's return.

After seeing Yi Han's figure, Wu Anhou's eyes flashed with excitement. Although he was a military general and was used to being introverted, Yi Han could still catch a glimpse of moisture from the corner of his eyes.

Yi Han stepped forward, knelt deeply, and said in a firm voice: "Uncle, I made you worry, which is really wrong." Wu Anhou hurriedly helped him up and patted his shoulder, his eyes full of relief: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. You have always been my pride."

The wife of Marquis Wu'an, Zhao Songyan, Qin Ruoling, Zhang Chunru and others were also waiting on the side. Although they might be dissatisfied in their hearts, they still stood there obediently under the orders of Marquis Wu'an.

Zhao Songyan couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he saw Marquis Wu'an praising Yi Han. But what made him unable to look away was Xiao Yunxi standing next to him.

Xiao Yunxi was dressed in tattered clothes, with disheveled hair. She looked down and out, but she exuded a unique heroic spirit.

She had her clothes tied tightly around her waist, her cuffs tied with silk ribbons, and she was wearing leather boots. She looked a bit like a man, but it made her look even more graceful.

Zhao Songyan's eyes moved over her, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

At this time, Yi Han had walked up to the wife of Marquis Wu'an and bowed respectfully: "Madam." He called Marquis Wu'an uncle and addressed Madam directly, with a clear distinction between the two, which demonstrated his attitude and etiquette.
