Tang Chujun raised his eyes and looked at Wei Cailing, "Ling'er, you are now the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. What do you think?"

Wei Cailing was silent for a moment, then replied, "Mother, the mansion still has the courtyard they used to live in. It's okay to stay there for a day or two, but now that the concubines have been given the letter of release, it's not appropriate for the concubines to live there."

Tang Chujun nodded, and then listened to his daughter-in-law say, "The three sisters are fine. When they are old enough, they can find a husband and marry out of the Marquis's mansion. They will also have a prominent family. As long as they don't marry high, I believe their life will not be too bad."

Tang Chujun held his daughter-in-law's hand and said, "Ling'er, you are a good child for thinking this way. These children have suffered a lot at the hands of Aunt Wen in the past years, but they are all good-tempered."

She changed the subject, "But this person is always like this, he will hide his temper, and no one knows what he is really like. You should observe more. If someone is doing something tricky and making the mansion a mess, with intrigues all day long, you don't have to show mercy and drive them out with a big fanfare. Let them all know that the mistress of the mansion is not a soft dough."

Wei Cailing had always been taught by Wei Zhongshi to be honest and upright, and she attached great importance to her reputation. Hearing her mother-in-law teach her this way, she was a little uncomfortable, "But, but the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion..."

Tang Chujun knew that this daughter-in-law had a very upright family tradition and had psychological baggage. "The reputation of the Marquis' Mansion will not be ruined because of these things, and you don't have to care about what people outside say about the mistress being intolerant. We don't have to worry about those false reputations. Remember?"

Wei Cailing smiled when she heard this, "Mother loves me. I've made a note of this. I'm thinking that the cloth and garment business is good now, and the shop is still short of a few embroiderers. I don't know if they are willing to go."

After all, they were all concubines before, and although they were not like the mistresses and housekeepers, they were all served by maids and servants. Now, I wonder if it is appropriate to arrange for them to make a living on their own?

Tang Chujun thought for a moment and said, "Don't take on too much, it will easily lead to complaints. We need to let them know that nothing is taken for granted and they have to rely on themselves for everything."

Wei Cailing felt so lucky to have such an open-minded mother-in-law who always thought of her. She said sincerely, "I will follow my mother's arrangements."

Tang Chujun also felt that it was time for him to play the good guy and let his daughter-in-law play the bad guy, so that others would remember his daughter-in-law's kindness.

Then he said, "Bring them all to see me."

Wei Cailing followed instructions and brought the person into Yu Sheng Pavilion.

Qiu and others were almost stunned by the grandeur of the Young Master's Mansion. This was by no means comparable to their dilapidated mansion that had been in disrepair for many years.

She has to be the mistress!

She is so lucky. I have never seen a divorced lady live such a comfortable life.

Several people knelt down in front of Tang Chujun and paid their respects. They were all given seats and only then did they dare to sit on the corner of the stool, looking at their former mistress in fear.

I just feel that the world is so wonderful. In just a few months, the mistress is no longer the mistress, and the concubine is no longer the concubine.

Tang Chujun didn't hesitate to ask directly, "Have you thought about how to make a living in the future?"

Several people looked at Qiu.

Qiu pursed her lips and had to bite the bullet, "Madam, I left Second Master for the sake of my children. Madam, you also have children, so I'm sure you can understand my feelings."

You know what, this is a very clever statement. It seems that he is talking about the reason why he left the Second Master, and it seems that he is thinking about his children, but in fact, he is saying that all this was caused by the girl driving her father to Ganzhou.

They were all innocent victims of the disaster! In fact, this was true from their perspective.

Before she fainted, Shi Anxia received news that several concubines had taken the letter of release and returned to Beijing with their children. It was also for this reason that she had expressed her attitude at the time, saying that she could settle these people down. After all, on this major issue, several concubines still showed wisdom different from their stupid father.

That's why Tang Chujun was willing to sit here and compete with the concubines. "From what you said, you think that it was my Xia Er who forced you to this point?"

Qiu's face turned pale. She didn't expect the once gentle mistress to become so aggressive. "Madam, calm down. That's not what I meant. I just want to say that we can endure hardships and are not afraid of them. We just ask you to give us something to eat."

All the way back to Beijing, they were discussing their future lives.

Find another man to rely on? This idea is not good. If this is the idea, then why did she leave Shi Chengxuan so bitterly?

Tang Chujun served tea and dessert, but he still had to make it clear that he had to make it clear. "You have your position, but we also have ours. Xia'er asked her father to take you to Ganzhou because he did something wrong. As for you... you can only blame yourself for being Shi Chengxuan's concubine and the child is Shi Chengxuan's child. If you don't follow him, how can you follow my daughter or my son? This is not right, don't you think?"

Several concubines knelt down hurriedly.

Wen said first, "Madam, please calm down. I will never dare to think like this again."

She was smart enough to admit that she had thought about it, which was much better than keeping making excuses.

As expected, Tang Chujun's expression softened visibly. "Don't think like that. It's good for you, good for me, and good for everyone. Otherwise, if things fall out, you can't blame me, Xia'er. If you want to blame someone, just blame your Second Master."

Several concubines responded quickly. Qiu said quickly, "Then blame the Second Master! If he wasn't so soft-hearted, how could he cause trouble for the young lady at any time and anywhere?"

This is also smart. If this is the case, then the camp will be the same as Shi Anxia and Tang Chujun.

The concubines all expressed their agreement.

Up to this point, the conversation was considered harmonious, after all, there was no quarrel or tit-for-tat.

Tang Chujun asked another sharp question, "Let me hear it. If I can't help you and can't give you food, how are you going to live with this letter of release?"

Zhou was very anxious. Why could the mistress give Han a bite of food but not them? But she didn't dare to say it out loud. She just looked up at Qiu, hoping that she could convey this meaning.

But Qiu was not stupid. How could she be the first to take action? She just kept her head down and said nothing.

Tang Chujun couldn't understand all these disputes, so he got straight to the point and said, "Are you thinking, if I can provide food for the Han family, why can't I be kind enough to provide food for you? Then, do you want to think about who I am to you?"

Wen replied softly, "You will always be our mistress."

"Former!" Tang Chujun had been writing essays for several months and had been "Mr. Chu Sheng" for several months. It wasn't in vain. His logic was very logical. "Former mistress! Have you ever heard of a former mistress who would care about the life and death of a concubine?"
