The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Just when Xie Yuzhen refused to admit that his precious daughter's slightly dark mental state was inherited from him, at the banquet, Jun Yuexin looked at the frail-looking young man in front of her with a smile on her face.

He Liu rarely went out because of poor health. He coughed lightly and bowed to Jun Yuexin and said, "Greetings, General Yun Hui."

"What's the matter?" Jun Yuexin looked at him and asked.

He Liu cupped his hands again and said, "I am here to apologize on behalf of my brothers."

"Don't you think it's a little late for you to apologize now, Mr. He Liu?" Jun Yuexin never had much patience for these "outsiders" and spoke with a full of ruffian spirit. "Or, if I hadn't been able to sit in this position so steadily today, would you have forgotten that you had offended me with despicable means?"

"Ahem." He Liu covered his chest and coughed twice, then shook his head and said, "General, you are a good fighter. How could you not know that on the chessboard, the chess pieces at both ends of the Chu River are in different positions and therefore have different importance?"

indeed.

If Jun Yuexin had not been able to make it out of this battle, the He family would indeed have consciously ignored the existence of this woman.

In the final analysis, the dispute between Jun Yuexin and the He brothers, in a big way, was a feud between the two families, but in a small way, it was just the younger generations scheming against each other - when the He brothers tried to scheme against Jun Yuexin but failed and were outwitted by her and lost face, old General He did not take action. Similarly, after learning that her daughter was almost bullied, Mrs. Ye only forcefully demanded compensation from the He family so that the brothers would never be able to enter the officialdom again, and then she did not continue to retaliate.

The elders of the two families tacitly limited the conflict to a relatively small scope. From then on, the He family no longer appeared in front of Jun Yuexin and deliberately avoided her; she did not kill those brothers, but just treated these idiots as if they had never existed.

After coordination between the two sides, the He brothers took the loss and dared not to provoke Jun Yuexin again, but at the same time, they were actually deliberately ignoring her existence, not to mention an apology, which had never happened.

As the only remaining son of the He family who is still able to serve in the government, He Liu has an extraordinary status in his family. He Da is already a commander of the Yulin Guard, and He Qi is about to marry into the Anguo harem. It is indeed time for He Liu to come out and work.

As her mind raced, Jun Yuexin saw that he did not deny what she said, but almost made it clear that it was because of his current status that the He family took her seriously... All of a sudden, Jun Yuexin's interest, which had been piqued, suddenly dropped.

"In that case, Mr. He Liu, please go back." Jun Yuexin waved her hand and said.

He Liu was obviously choked. "It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. General Yun Hui, are you unwilling to accept my family's apology, or do you think that just asking me to come down and say a few words of apology to you is too insignificant?"

He explained a little anxiously: "It was rare for me to see you in the past. Even if I sent gifts to your house, your mother would..."

Jun Yuexin raised a hand to interrupt him: "Your brothers have paid the price for the grudges in the past. I don't want to pursue anything further. Of course, the premise is that those people in your family will stop trying to hide in the dark and do something to me, my family and friends."

She curved her lips, and the faint smile disappeared in an instant: "Of course, I believe that under the current circumstances, General He will not do anything - it is not rational behavior."

"Although your eldest brother holds an important position, he is actually just a small leader who commands a hundred people. As for your remaining brothers, I will tell you clearly that I am not going to bring up the past because of General He's face. For the rest of their lives, as long as I am still in this court, I will not allow them to have a chance to make a name for themselves."

"Of course, I won't deliberately target you and your seventh son, who were not involved in that incident." Jun Yuexin watched the man's face gradually become ugly, and she couldn't help but feel a little happy. "I think you can see that the future of your He family's next generation is worrying."

"...General Yun Hui is really unwilling to make peace with my family?" He Liu frowned. He was already sickly and suddenly felt shaky.

Jun Yuexin was even happier: "Just tell your grandfather what I said. You don't understand, but he can understand what I mean."

Although General He has nominally retired to enjoy a leisurely life, he is still very influential in the army, otherwise He would not have been able to get the position of commander of the Yulin Guard at the age of only thirty.

What Jun Yuexin wanted was for this respected veteran to retire completely, and it would be best if the generation that General He had taught, including Marquis Anguo, would give way to her.

In this way, there will be no need for overly intense conflicts between them, and the He family, seeing that their offspring's future is not bright, can also preserve their strength as much as possible.

This was the original intention of General He to let his grandson come over to test Jun Yuexin and seek peace with her. However, Jun Yuexin has always had a bad temper and felt that the He family's move was not very sincere. If they really wanted to apologize and completely resolve this old grudge, it would be better to ask those bastards to take off their clothes and run around the capital three times with a sign of atonement on their heads.

He Liu left in disgrace.

Not long after, a petite woman came over to Jun Yuexin and said, "Greetings, General Yun Hui."

Chu Liupo and Jun Yuexin were not very familiar with each other, but she had always disliked the brothers-in-law in her husband's family who were always a hindrance. However, her parents-in-law and her great-grandfather, General He, were still alive, so she could only complain behind their backs and wonder when she could split up the family and completely get rid of these unreliable relatives.

In the previous few meetings with Chu Liupo, Xie's mother had shown goodwill to her, and Chu Liupo was also very understanding. From Xie's mother's implicit words, she understood that the relationship between Yongjia Marquis' Mansion and her annoying little aunt (He Sangrou) was probably not very harmonious. Although she didn't understand what Yongjia Marquis' Mansion wanted to do, she still tentatively passed on the message several times.

This action was naturally considered as treasonous and ungrateful in the eyes of those who valued family and kinship above all else. However, only Chu Liupo knew the feeling of being harassed and even bullied by such bad relatives every day, especially since her husband was the eldest son of the He family and she would be the head wife of the He family in the future. She could not ignore these annoying guys. Even if she showed just a little impatience, her parents-in-law and grandfather would take turns calling her to be lectured.

In the long run, Chu Liupo really wanted to use the help of outsiders to give those troublesome relatives from the next door a slap in the face.
