Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general
Chapter 73 The Duke Takes a Concubine
Madam Ning was frightened, her heart was shaking, and she leaned back.
Fortunately, Madam Ning was quick to reach out and support him!
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound, like thunder coming out of nowhere!
Madam Ning tilted her head to one side, stunned for a long while, before she realized what was happening and covered her face!
My cheeks were burning with pain. I didn't want to cry, but tears just kept flowing out!
"It must be you, an unvirtuous and unfilial woman, who instigated my son to become like this!" Old Madam Ning was not satisfied and waved her hand to slap him again!
This time, his hands were raised high, but he couldn't let them fall!
Ning Beian held her wrist tightly, his eyes full of lightning:
"Mother, this matter has nothing to do with her. If you want to hit someone, hit me, hit father. Don't just pick on the persimmons you can pick on!"
After saying that, she loosened her grip, and Madam Ning took two steps back and leaned on the table!
"Please give me the money right away, mother. Otherwise, I will have the driver prepare the horses and take you back home!"
Madam Ning was not from the capital, her hometown was far away in the eastern part of Wu State.
It would take at least ten days to get there from the capital.
Madam Ning was trembling all over, filled with grief: "I... I have worked hard all my life... raised two sons, but ended up like this! If I had known earlier, I should not have given birth to you..."
"Mother, it's completely meaningless to say all this now. We should do what father asked us to do as soon as possible!" Ning Beian looked straight ahead, only his hands hanging by his sides trembled slightly.
"Don't use your father to pressure me!" Madam Ning turned around and cursed: "I gave birth to his children and took care of the backyard. Even if I go to the Golden Palace to sue him, I will be worthy of the ancestors of the Ning family!"
"I dare not answer this question. If mother wants to ask our ancestors for their opinions, it will probably take some time!"
Ning Beian seemed to have tasted the sweetness of rebellion, and he spoke words that touched people's hearts very fluently!
"You... do you really think your father dares to divorce me? If you divorce me, what good reputation will you have?" Madam Ning suddenly became bolder.
In the capital, no one has ever heard of a woman getting divorced at her and the Duke of Zhenguo's age!
Even if the Duke of Zhenguo could do this, doesn't he think about his descendants?
Doesn’t he care about his precious grandson Ning Weizhou?
Thinking of this, Old Madam Ning felt relieved and sat down steadily: "I don't have money, but I have a life. If you have the ability, take it!"
Ning Beian paused. He could talk about filial piety and brotherhood to his heart's content, but he could never do anything too excessive!
"Waste!" Another scolding came from the door!
Ning Beian didn't even look back, because he knew that his hot-tempered father had returned!
Although he was scolded again, he felt relieved and pulled Madam Ning to stand aside.
The person who entered the door was not only the Duke of Zhenguo, but also a woman in plain clothes.
Ning Bei'an stole a glance and saw that the woman looked quite old and not well-maintained. The vicissitudes of half a lifetime were carved on her face.
But her clothes were neat and tidy, her facial features were regular and her eyes were calm. She looked like a woman in her fifties who had experienced hardships and vicissitudes of life.
"This is your aunt, go and pay your respects!" The Duke of Zhenguo gave instructions to Ning Beian and his wife before he even sat down.
Ning Bei'an's pupils tightened and he looked at his wife unconsciously. Madam Ning's face was also full of surprise!
The woman was neither humble nor overbearing, and half-saluted to the two of them: "Greetings, Prince, and Madam!"
Ning Beian and his wife subconsciously returned the greeting, their lips trembling but no sound came out.
The Duke of Zhenguo frowned and slammed the table hard.
Ning Beian habitually shrank his neck, waiting for the thunder to strike!
But the storm did not come!
"Ning Zhi, I came here in a hurry, how can you blame the children?" The woman looked calm and spoke neither slowly nor hurriedly!
But to the other members of the Ning family, these words were no less than a bolt of lightning!
Ning Zhi?
How many years have I not heard this name?
Ning Beian thought for a long time before he remembered that this was his father's name!
Although the Duke of Zhenguo had surrendered his military power, he had previously killed the enemy and made great contributions to the State of Wu.
Not many people can call him by his name!
There isn't even a single one in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion!
"You..." Madam Ning seemed to have seen a ghost: "Who are you?"
The woman bowed generously: "I am Chen Sufen, a commoner, greeting the old lady!"
"Master, what did you ask Bei'an to call her just now?" Old Madam Ning said this and trembled countless times!
The Duke of Zhenguo was impatient, but when he saw Chen Sufen's gaze, he patiently explained:
"She is my woman outside. I will bring her home today and she will help my eldest daughter-in-law with housework in the future!"
Madam Ning's chest heaved violently. She couldn't believe that her husband only had her as a woman when he was young, and now he wanted to take a concubine when he was already buried up to his neck in the earth!
"You want to take a concubine? I don't agree!" Old Madam Ning, who had always been submissive in front of the Duke of Zhenguo, rarely showed her strength!
"Go quickly, call Nan Shun over!" Old Madam Ning urged people to go find her youngest son.
She was extremely panicked right now. Even when there were rumors that the Duke of Zhenguo had died on the battlefield, she had never been so panicked!
"It's better to call them over and recognize them!" The Duke of Zhenguo pointed to a chair beside him and said, "Sufen, sit down. You are the elder, so you don't need to be polite with them!"
Chen Sufen didn't refuse and sat up straight!
Old Madam Ning stared at the woman below her. If her eyes could emit fire, Chen Sufen should have been burned to ashes by now!
"What elder? I didn't even respond, who does she think she is!" Old Madam Ning was furious.
There are two things in her life that she feels most proud of:
First, she gave birth to two sons for the Ning family.
Second, the Duke of Zhenguo held a high position of power, but he never took a concubine!
Everyone in the capital city envied her for being so favored by her husband!
Although the Duke of Zhenguo was not in the mansion all year round, he entrusted all the affairs of the mansion to her.
Now he is over fifty years old and his grandsons are married, but suddenly a concubine appears!
Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
If this matter gets out, how will she face it?
Others are young and vying for favor and love. Does she still want to use those means to compete for favor when she is old and gray?
"Su Fen is of course the elder. I promised her the position of co-wife, so she will be on an equal footing with you and have the power to manage the household!" The Duke of Zhenguo smiled coldly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"It would be better for Nanshun and his wife to acknowledge this concubine, otherwise, no one will bear the expenses for them in the future!"
"You...you actually treated me like this?" Old Madam Ning's hairpin shook violently:
"Ning Zhi, you favor your concubine over your wife, may the heavens strike you with lightning!"
The Duke of Zhenguo did not get angry this time, but he raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a strange smile:
"Didn't you teach Nan Shun the same way back then?"
"I have done my best to treat you well. Sufen is the descendant of a meritorious official. She is better than that lowly woman. I have always given you face!"
Madam Ning's face turned pale, and her lips moved, but she hadn't said a word yet.
Then the Duke of Zhenguo said, "However, if you have the temperament of Zhou'er's mother, I will also look up to you!"
Old Madam Ning was stunned. What did this mean?
