I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

"You rebellious son, kneel down! You even dare to attack people around your sister. Why did I give birth to such a bastard like you?" Liu Ming was very angry and vented his anger unscrupulously.

"Yes, Zhen'er, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you really went too far this time. Your sister's big day is coming up, and the maids around her have been brought up since childhood, and they are quite handy. And you've caused this trouble now. Teach her what to do!" This time, Zhao and Liu Ming cooperated very well. The husband and wife sang in unison.

"I didn't find her. She seduced me on purpose. I was drunk at the time. When I returned to the room, I saw a woman lying on the bed. I thought she was my concubine, so I went to bed with her without thinking anything!" Liu Zhen defended herself unwillingly.

His wife, Mrs. Gan, was crying with her hands covering her face.

Xia He was kneeling on the other side, trembling.

"Gan! That's enough! As a wife, you can't even keep an eye on your husband and let a woman of questionable character get into his bed!" Seeing that his son was like a rolling pin with no sign of repentance, Liu Ming turned his attention directly to his daughter-in-law.

Gan was also stunned at the time, but after she came to her senses, she immediately walked down the hall and knelt together with Liu Zhen.

Liu Ming's lesson was already very harsh at that time. Generally speaking, elders would use nicknames when addressing younger people, or simply say "so-and-so's family" to highlight the closeness.

This kind of address is more formal, and it also shows that the elder is in a state of rage.

"It's my daughter-in-law's incompetence. Please calm down, father." Gan immediately kowtowed and apologized.

"How can you be incompetent? You are very capable, but you just don't use them properly! You are the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, but you refuse to be a good daughter-in-law of the Liu family!" Liu Ming hinted at something, but did not make it clear. "Before the matter of the third girl is settled, you two should move out first, so as to avoid any more trouble in the mansion!"

"Daddy and mom, I'm late. It's my fault for not disciplining the servants well." At this time, Liu Zhirou also came in.

"What does it have to do with you? Rou'er, it's because you are too kind that you spoil them!" Zhao immediately excused her daughter.

Liu Zhirou did not respond to her mother's words, but turned around and bowed deeply to her sister-in-law Gan.

"I'm really sorry for causing trouble to my sister-in-law."

"It was also my negligence that allowed the people below to succeed." Gan quickly stood up and supported Liu Zhirou who was saluting.

For a moment, the two of them were in great joy, and Liu Ming didn't seem to want to blame Gan anymore.

Gan secretly raised the corners of her mouth slightly, because through the contact these days, she found that her sister who was about to enter the palace was a simple and honest person.

Liu Zhirou also curled up the corners of her mouth slightly, because she found that her energy bar had increased a lot again.

However, she still needs to do a test to find out the specific results.

"I was originally planning on bringing Xia He into the palace, but this incident happened and she lost her virginity, so I can't bring her into the palace anymore." Liu Zhirou said with some regret.

Gan looked distressed on the surface, but the joy in her eyes was almost unsuppressible.

Although Xia He may not be very smart, she does have a good appearance and is someone who knows everyone about her. She would be a good tool to consolidate one's favor.

But soon, Liu Zhirou's next words plunged Gan into the abyss.

"I heard that my sister-in-law has a maid named Qiao'er, who is smart and beautiful. Now that I am about to enter the palace, it is not easy to train a suitable maid. So I shamelessly beg my sister-in-law to bear the pain and take Qiao'er with me." Liu Zhirou finished speaking very calmly, but Gan Shi could not hold it anymore.

A trace of cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and she stammered, "Well... Qiao'er married me and became your brother's person... This is not appropriate."

"What's inappropriate about it? I think it's very suitable. Anyway, I didn't give her any face. I took away my third sister's maid, so naturally I have to compensate her with one." At this time, Liu Zhen gave his wife a heavy blow.

Gan could obviously have rejected Liu Zhirou's request with a more assertive attitude. After all, Qiao'er was her dowry maid and her indenture was not in the Liu family.

But she seemed even more flustered.

"Third sister, you are joking. Qiao'er is timid and has no ability. She can't do it."

Liu Zhirou sighed in her heart. She thought he was a king, but unexpectedly he was only a bronze.

She shouldn't panic at any time. She did nothing wrong in this matter. It was Liu Zhirou who failed to manage her maid, and it was Liu Zhen who failed to manage her lower body.

But she was so panicked that she exposed her flaws.

Liu Ming also found something wrong.

Although Liu Zhirou looked down on her nominal father, she had to admit that he was a very ambitious and capable man. The biggest dream of ordinary businessmen was to find a reliable and powerful person to rely on.

However, although Liu Ming apparently took refuge with Duke Deng, he had actually been planning his own development and even wanted to achieve a class leap through his daughter.

Liu Zhirou believed that if this man was given a chance, he could even bite off a piece of flesh from Duke Deng. Just like the support Liu Ming gave his daughter during the initial conversation.

This is not because he loves his daughter deeply, but because the benefits are huge and the risks are very small.

Liu Zhirou was incompetent and exposed the matter. She was the only one who was beaten to death in the palace. What crime could Liu Ming be held responsible for? At most, he thought that his daughter's life in the palace was not easy, so he gave her more money.

If Duke Deng still wanted this cash cow, he would not pursue it specifically. But if Duke Deng no longer needed him, he could take his life for any reason.

Liu Zhirou knew very well that her sister-in-law was having a hard time.

But she didn't feel sorry for Gan. After all, it was a foregone conclusion that Gan wanted to harm her.

Liu Zhirou could roughly imagine what kind of script it was.

The Gan family, from which Gan was born, was a family of the Duke of Deng's mansion. Although they were able to gain face in front of their master, it was nothing in this huge capital. Gan's grandmother was the wet nurse of the current Duke of Deng. She had requested that her son be released and become a free man.

Duke Deng agreed to her request because he had raised her since she was a child. Gan's father was also a capable man. He passed the imperial examination and became a student from a family slave.

Gan's status then rose, and later, with the help of Duke Deng, she married Liu Zhen.

But it doesn't seem so hard to imagine that Gan had some other ideas.
