Surprise! The little koi from the farm, her husband who died long ago is alive!

Are you so impatient to arrange people around them?

Jiang Shuyue sneered in his heart, Mrs. Tao was indeed a smiling tiger.

"Mom, are you going to take a concubine for Xiao Lin?" Jiang Shuyue was not like other women who would swallow their anger.

"Haha, Shuyue, what's the big deal? The children they gave birth to will also call you mother."

This is true. Jiang Shuyue also thought that with Xiao Lin's status, she might not be the only woman.

But not now, let’s talk about it later.

"Mother, I am not as generous as you, who can treat the child born by my concubine as my own."

This made Mrs. Tao feel guilty. Was that a child born by a concubine? That was a little bitch that a big bitch gave birth to and loved, and she was not even worthy of looking at it.

"Sparse Moon..."

"Mom, if Xiao Lin has another woman, I will divorce him. It may be very ugly at that time, but I don't care. It's okay to divorce him now."

Mrs. Tao also thought that she was not afraid of Jiang Shuyue, but was afraid that she would make a fuss.

Then everyone knew, and Xiao Lin's identity could no longer be hidden.

She only thought about the relationship between her daughter and Prince Duan, but she had not thought about the deeper issues.

But Jiang Shuyue thought about it and realized that if their family dared to pretend to be the prince's relatives, no matter what Prince Duan agreed to, he would not be able to protect the Tao family.

When the incident happened, Prince Duan would not only not protect them, he would even step on them to get rid of suspicion.

She looked at Tao Lanlan and felt a little pity.

At that time, I’m afraid no one in the Tao family would survive.

Now that I have thought of it

, there is a third person controlling the chess game, they just need to play their own roles without being exposed.

So now, she waits.

In twenty days, it will be the Emperor's birthday.

She guessed it was on that day.

But before that, she planned to go back with Xiao Lin and get away from the ups and downs of the capital.

Mrs. Tao didn't expect Jiang Shuyue to be so stubborn and wouldn't listen to her. She didn't dare to force him. "I was just talking casually. If you don't want to, forget it."

Chun Xing, who was standing at the door, had a pretty face stretched long as she looked at Jiang Shuyue with eyes full of resentment.

Jiang Shuyue seemed not to see it. She knew Chun Xing didn't like Xiao Lin that much, she just wanted to climb up the social ladder, so she was not angry and planned to help her.

"Mom, I also think Chun Xing is a good girl."

Chun Xing pouted with a look of disdain.

"Since mother likes it..."

Mrs. Tao widened her eyes. Did this woman figure it out?

She looked at Jiang Shuyue expectantly.

"Why not give it to your second or third brother? They haven't gotten married yet, so they need someone to be close to them in their room."

Chun Xing's eyes lit up. The second and third young masters were much better than Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin is a rough guy who grew up in the countryside. How can he compare with the suave Second Young Master and Third Young Master?

If she were to choose, she would prefer the Third Young Master.

Jiang Shuyue caught a glimpse of Chun Xing's expression from the corner of her eyes. It seemed that what she said touched her heart. She did not give Madam Tao a chance to refuse, "Mother, I think my third brother and Chun Xing are more suitable."

"Chun Xing, are you willing?"

Chun Xing felt that Jiang Shuyue was a bodhisattva at this moment. She knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Madam, I am willing to serve the Third Young Master."

Mrs. Tao's mouth twitched. Are these little rascals worthy of touching her son's body?

It is obvious that Chun Xing is a restless person. Even if she wants to find a maid, she has to find someone who is down-to-earth and dutiful.

Chun Xing, absolutely not allowed, she is a cheap thing that only knows how to seduce men all day long.

"Your third brother is still young. It won't be too late to let him go in the room after two years."

"What about my second brother? He's fine too."

Chunxin's heart was lifted again, the second young master could also be a good choice.

"Your second brother... is getting married soon. You can't let anyone into the house until the new bride arrives. This is not the right time."

Jiang Shuyue sighed and looked at Hong Xing with some sympathy.

I don't know if she heard anything.

So don't just hate yourself. You rejected her once, but Mrs. Tao rejected her twice.

Moreover, as a wife, it is understandable that she does not like her husband taking a concubine. But as a mother, she is willing to let her eldest son take a concubine, but not let her second and third sons take concubines. What does this indicate?

That is, Mrs. Tao didn't like Hong Xing at all.

Although Hong Xing was not as smart as Jiang Shuyue, she had also thought of something. She just knelt down and said she was willing.

Jiang Shuyue imitated Madam Tao's tone, "Since mother doesn't agree, then forget it. I think Miss Hong Xing is underappreciated by me. I will never let Xiao Lin take a concubine. In a few years, Miss Hong Xing will be even more powerful."

Who says it isn't true? A girl's good times only last for two years, and Hong Xing is quite pretty, so she is unwilling to be a servant all her life.

Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "Since you can't keep her here, I will find a good family for her later."

After Mrs. Tao finished speaking, she quickly stood up, as if she was afraid that Jiang Shuyue would force Chun Xing on her again.

"It's okay, I'll leave first." Mrs. Tao said with a smile.

Her eyes turned and fell on Tao Lanlan, "You're not leaving?"

Tao Lanlan didn't want to leave. She pointed at her clothes and said, "It's... not finished yet."

"Is your dress the only thing missing at home?" Mrs. Tao said unhappily, "Don't bother your sister-in-law if there's nothing to do. Let her have a good rest."

Mrs. Tao said coldly.

Tao Lanlan was still wearing Jiang Shuyue's clothes. Jiang Shuyue was about to be seventeen after all, and Tao Lanlan was only ten years old, still a child, so they didn't fit her at all.

Tao Lanlan bit her lip and said, "I understand, ma'am."

"Mom, there are only a few stitches left. Let her wear my clothes after you finish sewing them, otherwise how can she go home wearing my clothes?"

Mrs. Tao sighed, "Okay, I'll say it again, don't bother your sister-in-law for no reason."

Tao Lanlan nodded vigorously.

After seeing Mrs. Tao off, Chun Xing disappeared. No one knew whether she went somewhere to cry or to think of a solution.

If I can't become the young master's concubine, then I can only be matched with a servant.

The room was terribly quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

Tao Lanlan didn't dare to breathe. Jiang Shuyue glanced at her and said, "Everyone has left. Sit down."

"Sister-in-law, just now...thank you. If Madam knew what I said, she would beat me to death."

Jiang Shuyue sighed, "I know I shouldn't say those words, so I won't say them again."

Tao Lanlan nodded. Her intuition told her that her sister-in-law would not harm her.

"Sister-in-law, actually Chun Xing she..." Tao Lanlan looked around, made sure there was no one around, then leaned over to Jiang Shuyue's ear and whispered a few words.

Jiang Shuyue frowned, and after Tao Lanlan finished speaking, she said in a deep voice: "Lanlan, why are you telling me this?"

Tao Lanlan lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, "Because you are good to me, I don't want you to be bullied."
