Song Nanzhi felt a little guilty when she stared at him.

Liu Yueru asked Mother Yan to prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.

Ye Tao restrained her temper and said, "Your Highness, you don't know. People outside say that Miss Yuan Biao is the concubine that the prince brought back to the palace. And they say!"

"She said that Master Jin was born to you and your cousin, so Madam came up with this countermeasure to silence Youyou."

Ye Tao stood up for Liu Yueru and continued, "Madam always considers the prince in everything, and works day and night, but to no avail."

Song Nanzhi was shocked after hearing this. This matter could be a big deal or a small one.

If Liu Yueru's family was not a powerful family, he could get away with it even if the truth was exposed.

But the Liu Mansion is not connected, and Song Nanzhi cannot afford to offend anyone.

Song Nanzhi cursed: "Who is this gossipy person who can't stand seeing the Marquis's Mansion doing well? If I find out, I will tear her to pieces!"

Ye Tao muttered in dissatisfaction: "There is no smoke without fire!"

Liu Yueru frowned slightly and hurriedly stopped Ye Tao: "Ye Tao's tea is cold, change it for another pot."

After watching Ye Tao leave, she slowly said, "I want to add some concubines to my husband's room."

Song Nanzhi was thinking about making Yuan Qinglian his wife, so he refused directly, "I don't agree. Now is the critical moment for Jin'er to be selected as a companion student. If taking a concubine brings unnecessary trouble, it will not be worth it."

"What Ye Tao said just now is right. There is no smoke without fire. Now those words have been spread out. The news will spread through Kyoto and will soon reach the ears of those powerful people." Liu Yueru analyzed quietly.

Regardless of whether Song Nanzhi agreed or not, she continued, "Why not use the excuse of taking a concubine to silence the gossips?"

"Now that you have a concubine, there will be someone to help manage the household. If your husband gets bored with her, you can send her to the side courtyard. You won't see her a few times a year, and she won't bother you." Liu Yueru said lightly.

Song Nanzhi, however, stared at Liu Yueru.

Liu Yueru was confused: "Why is my husband looking at me like this?"

"When other wives want to take a concubine, they are usually unhappy. But you are different. You are probably the first one in Kyoto who is eager to take a concubine for your husband." Song Nanzhi said.

I feel more and more that I cannot understand Liu Yueru.

There is an illusion that everything is out of my control and off track.

Liu Yueru lowered her eyelashes and looked at the teacup in front of her: "Now the Marquis' Mansion has few people. If we want it to last for a hundred years, the population must be prosperous so that it can continue to thrive and pass on the legacy."

Song Nanzhi knew that he was not as good as Liu Yueru in terms of housekeeping, so he nodded and said, "You can arrange it."

After saying that, he stood up and did not eat at Wenhuaxuan anymore. He just reminded her before leaving: "Eat well. I will hand over some of the monthly salary for next month to the mansion."

Liu Yueru and Mother Yan looked at each other.

Mother Yan said happily, "This is a good thing."

Once a woman gets married, she is tied to her husband's family for life, and the well-being of the mansion is closely related to the lady.

Seeing that the prince has become a little more aware and considers his wife, Mother Yan is also happy for Liu Yueru.

"But should we prepare a few more side dishes for Madam?" Mother Yan asked with a smile.

"As long as there is enough to eat." Liu Yueru glanced at Mother Yan who was teasing her.

Mother Yan stood by with a smile on her face, serving Liu Yueru her meal.

However, Liu Yueru was silently thinking about what to do next.

However, Song Nanzhi's slight transformation did not move me in the slightest.

"Mother Yan, go ask those mothers in charge to see who has girls of the right age in their families. I would like to choose a few to take as concubines for my husband." Liu Yueru suddenly said.

"Madam, the prince was trying to get close to you just now. Why don't you wait a little longer?" Mother Yan reminded.

Liu Yueru smiled and said, "Go and do it earlier, I will be of use."
