The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 37: Afraid that I wouldn’t fight, and also afraid that I would win

Shi Mingchen felt that both his buttocks, which were bruised by the beating, and his face, which was not injured at all, were burning with pain, and for a moment he could not tell which one hurt more.

He felt that Shi Yao was extremely hateful!

If she hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have realized that he had never been favored!

It turns out that he is also an unpopular person!

In the past, I had seen how vile and ridiculous Shi Yao's methods of vying for favor were, and now I myself was just as vile and ridiculous.

His face turned red, and he retorted, "Stop gossiping. I am the legitimate son and grandson, and I am a man. What does it matter if I am favored or not? Only women like you would be so fussy as to compete for favor."

Shi Yao kicked away the cold bench in front of her that was used to deliberately humiliate her, moved a round stool with a thick mattress cover over, and sat down upright.

Ignoring her rude actions of kicking and moving stools, at first glance, she looks like a lady from a noble family.

Shi Mingchen's eye twitched.

This girl is really rude and good at pretending.

Shi Yao had nothing to do, and seeing that Shi Mingchen was not a violent maniac like Shi Mingwei and Shi Minghui, and was a coward who was easy to bully, she sat down and planned to make him angry.

Young people should be full of vitality, like a thunderstorm at eight or nine o'clock in the morning.

"What's wrong with legitimate sons and grandsons? The old man has many grandsons, all of them are legitimate grandsons, so legitimate grandsons are not rare.

Ten fingers stretched out would still be different in length. Not to mention the distant past, let's just talk about the legitimate sons. The old master had three legitimate sons. The eldest son inherited the title, a super-rank duke, glorious and glorious. The second son was stationed at the border, commanding a large number of troops, serving as a commander-in-chief, and was awarded the title of Jinwu General. As for our third son, he only held a position as a doctor in the Military Department.

Our Third Master is not favored. Now it's your turn, the Third Master's third son. Who cares about you? The Third Master doesn't pay much attention to you. After all, the eldest son is the most important. The Old Master, the First Master, and the Second Master don't care about you at all.

You can neither inherit the title nor have any outstanding talents - hey, don't quibble, if you were talented, or born with supernatural powers and excellent martial arts, you would have been sent to the second master to train.

It's fine that you don't have any outstanding talents, but you are also cowardly and mean. What, you don't believe me when I say you are cowardly? You don't admit it, but you know in your heart that you are not favored, but you dare not fight for it.

If you can't win favor, just follow the crowd and favor your eldest sister. Pretend that you are no different from your brothers. Pretend that you don't care whether the elders favor you or not. Pretend that your brothers are valued. When the old man says, "You brothers are like this and that," you put yourself in the picture, as if the old man has singled out your name to praise you. Pretend that your eldest sister likes you too. When your eldest sister says, "brothers," you think that the three words "brothers" refer specifically to you, the seventh brother.

Brother Qi, do you think I am right? "

Shi Mingchen's hands, clenched under the quilt, were shaking.

Shi Yao spoke in a kind and earnest manner, with gentle and calm eyes, but every word she spoke was like a knife, crushing his self-esteem.

This girl has such a bad heart. Why does she have to break this window paper?

If she hadn't said it, he would still be the precious Seventh Master of the Duke's Mansion.

Shi Mingchen suppressed his inferiority complex and sneered, "Shi Yao, don't impose your ideas on others. I am a man, my world is wider than yours, I don't care about being favored or not, that's something only children would care about. You women, trapped in the inner house, only have this little piece of land in your eyes, you are so petty and calculating, how can you understand the mind of a man?"

Shi Yao: "Oh, Seventh Brother, I came to the capital from Jinling, thousands of miles away. How about you? Have you ever been out of Beijing?"

Shi Mingchen's face turned red: "In the future, I will definitely go to the distant frontier and fight the enemy!"

Shi Yao sneered: "Then you admit that the world you have seen now is not as vast as what I have seen? You are so good at turning the tables. Didn't you bring up the topic of competing for favor first? You are more anxious than I am about whether I will be favored. Who is calculative and calculating about everything?"

"Shi Yao, shut up!" Shi Mingchen growled, feeling ashamed.

Shi Yao just wouldn't shut up.

Since she entered the mansion, this Seventh Brother has glared at her several times. If she doesn't take advantage of the fact that he can't get up to irritate him, she will never get such a good opportunity again.

"Hehe, you think I'm vying for favor, is it because you want to but don't dare to, so you keep hinting that I should vie for it? I don't compete, I'm not favored, so you keep humiliating me, constantly comparing me to my elder sister, are you hoping that I'll provoke you and compete with her in a fit of anger?

This way you can justifiably accuse me of the sin of vying for favor, to ridicule me, to suppress me, to laugh at my overestimation of my own abilities, to fill your hearts that have never been favored. You are afraid that I will not compete, and you are also afraid that if I win, it will show that you are not favored. "

Shi Mingchen was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He was furious: "Don't make wild guesses! Shi Yao, if you want to argue, go ahead. You are just covering up your despicable heart by making up such a long story. Women are always jealous. You are just a lonely concubine's daughter. How dare you say that you are not jealous of Zhuzhu?"

"Hey, Seventh Brother, look at you, you are revealing your dark thoughts of being jealous of your elder sister's favor again." Shi Yao seemed to have pinched Shi Mingchen's weak spot and hit him mercilessly, "I never said that I want to compete for favor. I am a concubine's daughter, and I am from the unfavored third room. I admit that I am not favored!

What about you, Seventh Brother? Do you dare to admit it? After saying so much, you have always emphasized that you are a man, a legitimate son and grandson, and you don’t care whether you are favored or not, but you just refuse to admit it. You have never been favored.

All right, let me give you an example to make you give up. Don't look at other things, just look at the marriage, you see what kind of family background and status the wives of the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are from, and what about you?

The old master and the eldest master owed the Xie family a big favor, but the Xie family was a merchant, and the two families had been talking about marriage for more than ten years. The elder brothers above picked noble ladies as their wives one by one. It's not that there was no choice but to choose from them, so it's your turn to fill this hole, but——

You are not favored and you don't have any outstanding talents. Sacrificing you will not cause any loss to the family and will also win a good reputation for being grateful. So why not use you to repay the favor?

Don't forget, you still have Shi Minghui under you. Why don't you use him as a favor to make him your son-in-law to the Xie family?

Because you are the third son of the third house, and he is the third son of the eldest house, and the youngest grandson of the old man and the old lady. No matter how you look at it, he has a better background and is more favored than you.

Hey, Seventh Brother, the more you argue, the clearer the truth becomes. Look at yourself, you are not unpopular, in the eyes of the elders, you are just a pool of mud, a wall with a leak. "

Shi Mingchen was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Veins popped out on his forehead. He retorted, "I am a man. I have a family to rely on. I have plenty of opportunities to make achievements and do things. I don't need to rely on nepotism. I want to see what kind of good family you, an unpopular concubine, can marry in the future!"
