Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

He could only wave his hand to dismiss his servant and said with a smile:

"These girls usually know your preferences best. What made you so angry?"

The tone was familiar and intimate, as if they were really a sweet newly married couple!

Xiao Shuxue raised her eyebrows, smiling: "Did you hear that? The Marquis wants to plead for you!"

A maid immediately stood up and said, "My Lord, please don't add fuel to the fire and kill us!"

Xiao Shuxue clapped his hands and laughed. Shen Zhili was about to sit down, but he froze in place when he heard what was said. His handsome face turned the color of liver!

Xiao Shuxue finished laughing, straightened her clothes, and asked Shen Zhili, "My Lord, you don't come to my place often. Is there something important today?"

Without waiting for Shen Zhili to answer, Xiao Shuxue continued, "If you want money, I don't have it. The jewelry in the betrothal gifts you sent that day was mostly silver-covered gold items, which made my stepmother furious. The dowry she gave me was pitifully small, and I am now strapped for cash!"

Pinching the gold thread on the dress, Xiao Shuxue continued, "Do you need someone? My Lord, you may want to pick one. My maids may not be extremely beautiful, but they are all quite skilled. They are more respectable than the maid you marry into your mother's room!"

After saying that, he looked at Shen Zhili eagerly: "My Lord, what exactly are you here for?"

Shen Zhili suffered a severe heart attack, as if he would go to heaven to see the Buddha in the next moment without being able to breathe!

But thinking of the source of Xiao Shuxue's resentment, Shen Zhili still forced a smile:

"Madam, you are joking. You and I are one as husband and wife. The money and people belong to you and me, naturally!"

Xiao Shuxue's face straightened: "My Lord, you are wrong! Are you trying to learn from those shameless people and snatch your wife's dowry?"

"Yes, I heard that when the Marquis divorced his ex-wife, he wanted her dowry!"

"But, Lord Marquis, I don't have a wealthy family. It's just that my grandfather doted on me and gave me some silver as a dowry. I don't think Lord Marquis would be interested in that!"

Shen Zhili pounded his chest several times and finally took a deep breath:

"Shuxue, I know you have resentment towards me in your heart. It's just that you are a child and don't know anything. You said something nonsense and caused misunderstanding between you and me!"

Xiao Shuxue was surprised: "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

Shen Zhili cleared his throat twice and said, "Yitian is a child who always speaks without restraint. Although I have asked a teacher to teach him, he is still very stubborn and the results are very limited. But don't worry, I will keep a close eye on him in the future. If he talks nonsense again, I will not let him off easily!"

Xiao Shuxue was confused, but when she heard that Shen Yitian would be severely punished, she was happy to see it, so she nodded:

"It is always the duty of the Marquis to teach his son, but you don't have to come and tell me specifically."

Shen Zhili heard this and thought that Xiao Shuxue was giving him a way out. It was just that women were reserved and always had to put on airs, so he explained more patiently:

"You are his stepmother, so you should know about your teachings to him. It would be a great blessing for him if he could receive your personal instruction!"

"My Lord, did you take the right medicine today? Your Madam Lan protects this son like the apple of her eye. If I say something, I don't know what will happen!"

"Madam, rest assured. You are in charge of the household affairs. How can a concubine like me interfere in the education of our children?"

Xiao Shuxue seemed to have seen a ghost: "My Lord, have you encountered any unclean creatures? Go to the temple and burn some incense quickly, and don't come out to scare people!"

Shen Zhili was anxious. He reached over the table and grabbed Xiao Shuxue's hand: "I am sincere and honest. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

Xiao Shuxue subconsciously wanted to retract her hand, but after hearing this, her eyes rolled, she suppressed her discomfort and said:

"I heard that when the bride was being welcomed, the Marquis was afraid of neglecting Madam Lan, so he specially sent a national treasure?"

Shen Zhili was stunned and hesitated.

Xiao Shuxue pulled his hand away fiercely and sneered, "If you are reluctant, then just ignore what I said!"

Shen Zhili didn't dare to think too much, and answered with a stiff upper lip: "Indeed, there is such a thing. At that time, I saw that Lan'er was suffering during her pregnancy... I also wanted to have an heir for the Shen family..."

"Oh, so that's how it is!" Xiao Shuxue smiled again: "Now that the baby in her belly is gone, Cuihong in the mansion is pregnant. Why not give this national treasure to Cuihong?"

How could Shen Zhili dare to agree to this?

He waved his hands repeatedly, with a sincere look on his face: "Only a woman like you is worthy of owning such a national treasure. I will ask Lan'er to bring the treasure to me right now!"

Xiao Shuxue just smiled and said nothing, fiddling with his fingers with a calm expression.

Shen Zhili gritted his teeth and called the servant: "Go to Tingyuxuan and ask Madam Lan to bring the night pearl over!"

The servant turned away, and Shen Zhili continued to smile: "This bead has a good thing, it can illuminate a room at night even without turning on the lamp, and the light is soft and will not hurt the eyes!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Shuxue only responded indifferently before the treasure was in hand.

The servant had been gone for a long time and had not come back. Xiao Shuxue's smile became increasingly faint, and Shen Zhili became anxious:

"You little dog slave, you can't even handle such a small matter!"

"Your Majesty, you should go over and take a look. Madam Lan is ill. Don't blame me for anything that happens to her!"

Xiao Shuxue stood up and turned to go into the inner room. The two strong maids stared at Shen Zhili.

Shen Zhili had no choice but to get up and leave, feeling angry and resentful.

Xiao Shuxue was angry that he didn't release the eagle until he saw the rabbit, and he hated Xie Xilan for not considering the overall situation!

"That day, Ting Yuxuan was as noisy as boiling pig food. He even hanged himself or jumped into the river and went on a hunger strike. He kept going back and forth for a whole day!"

In the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Nanny Wang described it vividly: "It was not until the second half of the night that the Marquis went to Manfang Courtyard holding the Night Pearl!"

Gu Feiwan put down the snack in his hand and looked up: "Did Xiao Shuxue keep him?"

"Yes, it stayed!" Nanny Wang smiled mischievously, "It was just left on the couch in the outer room!"

Gu Feiwan raised her eyebrows. Such a private matter could be known by a nanny. The rules in the Marquis' Mansion were becoming more and more outrageous!

"It's not that I specifically asked about it. Someone in Manfang Courtyard said it as a joke!" Nanny Wang sighed.

"The mansion may look rich and luxurious, but it may not be that good inside!"

"Miss Yujun has been making a fuss. Her dowry has not been settled yet, and the wedding date with the Earl of Laiyang has never been set!"

Gu Feiwan smiled, pursed her lips and said nothing.

When Nanny Wang saw it, she knew that this might be the work of the master in front of her, so she became more respectful:

"The old lady does not have much private money. Even if she took it all out, it would not be pleasing to the Earl's Mansion!"

"I had hoped that the princess and Miss Yujun were good friends, and now she is my sister-in-law, so she could help me. Unfortunately, the incident with Jin Baoyin hurt their relationship!"

"The betrothal gift from the Earl's Mansion has not arrived yet. I wonder if this marriage can be successful?"

After saying this, Nanny Wang glanced at Gu Feiwan.
