Chen Yan
Chapter 31 She Was Just a Concubine
Xie Jin Yan paused, looking at Gao Min Yue's arrogant face, his eyes slightly hesitant.
After pondering for a moment, he still spoke, gently replying to her, "A-Yue, if you want to learn etiquette, I will transfer two matrons from the palace in a few days. It is not appropriate for your sister-in-law to serve you."
Sister-in-law?
Gao Min Yue stiffened, her face immediately becoming unnatural. "Shixiong, what... what do you mean by sister-in-law? Isn't she... your concubine?"
"A concubine is also a mistress of the Crown Prince's residence, naturally your sister-in-law." Xie Jin Yan gave her a deep look, as if seeing through something. He raised his hand and gently touched Gao Min Yue's head, smiling, "Don't worry, since I promised your father that I would take good care of you, I won't let you suffer. From now on, this Crown Prince's residence is your home, and I am your own brother."
"Own brother?" Gao Min Yue repeated, her eyes a little lost.
Biting her lip, she glanced at the Qingning courtyard with great reluctance, then put on a smiling face again, nodding, and acting cute, "Okay, since Shixiong is in a difficult position, I won't cause Shixiong any trouble."
Having said that, she took Xie Jin Yan's arm again and asked with a smile, "By the way, Shixiong, it's been a long time since I've seen the Empress, since you left Gao Family Village at the age of ten. When will you take me to the palace to see her? I miss her so much..."
"In a few days, the Empress Dowager is a bit busy recently." Xie Jin Yan evaded, changed the subject, and said, "By the way, A-Yue, I haven't had the crucian carp soup you made in a long time. Make a portion and send it to my room later."
"Okay, Shixiong, I'm not bragging! My cooking skills may not even be comparable to the imperial chefs in the palace." Gao Min Yue was still a little unhappy, but hearing Xie Jin Yan wanting to eat the fish she made, her mood suddenly improved.
As the saying goes, to keep a man, you must first keep his stomach.
Shixiong had always liked her cooking the most, coupled with the Empress's favor, the position of Crown Princess must be hers.
As for that concubine, wouldn't she be at her disposal at that time?
Anticipating in her heart, Gao Min Yue happily entered the kitchen.
In the afternoon, after nearly two hours of simmering.
A pot of snow-white, thick, fragrant crucian carp soup was brought into Zhuque courtyard.
Xie Jin Yan sat at the table, glanced at it, and asked someone to send it to Qingning courtyard.
Yu Qingwu was helped up from the bed by Mother Xun, scooped a bowl of fish soup, ate two small pieces of fish, and then asked them to take it away.
After washing up, seeing that the time was almost up, she put on makeup and changed into an extremely bright dress, and asked Mother Xun to help her take a walk in the garden.
In this season, besides the withered trees, there was only the dry pond, and there was nothing to see.
Mother Xun helped Yu Qingwu along the road, and asked with great confusion, "Miss Yu, there is nothing good to see in the garden at this time of year. What are you doing there?"
"Let's go back to the house and rest. Cover yourself with sweat in the quilt, and you'll feel comfortable tomorrow morning."
"I'm always bored in the house, and I just ate. I'll take a walk to digest it." Yu Qingwu smiled and said, already arrived in the garden.
Sure enough, from afar, she saw Gao Min Yue tinkering there.
She put her hands on her hips, and very proudly ordered a group of strong men in the mansion to pull out all the precious flowers and plants that Xie Jin Yan had planted in the yard.
Seeing this scene, Mother Xun's face turned green, and she exclaimed, "You... what are you doing?"
Hearing the sound, everyone in the yard stopped immediately.
Gao Min Yue also stopped her movements, turned her head to see that it was Mother Xun, her face turned cold, and she said arrogantly, "What are you doing? Naturally, planting vegetables and food? You ignorant thing!"
"How dare you! Those flowers and plants were all specially transplanted from other places by His Highness!" Mother Xun was almost shaking with anger.
She turned around and immediately walked towards Zhuque courtyard, resentfully saying, "This old servant will report to His Highness immediately! This is too unruly! It's simply outrageous!"
Outrageous, there is even more outrageous.
Yu Qingwu ridiculed in her heart, without stopping Mother Xun.
She only smiled faintly, and slowly walked out from behind the rockery.
Wearing a red dress, with a stunningly beautiful face, enchanting and charming, beautiful and breathtaking, making people jealous.
Gao Min Yue was preparing to continue tinkering with the pond, but the moment she saw Yu Qingwu, the shovel in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.
Her pure and lovely face instantly filled with anger, and the look in Yu Qingwu's eyes was like she wanted to kill her.
How could this bitch be in Shixiong's residence?
And dressed so flamboyantly?
Looking at the beautiful woman getting closer and closer, Gao Min Yue's eyes widened. She gritted her teeth, her voice suddenly rose, both shocked and angry, "Yu Qingwu, why are you here? Why are you in Shixiong's residence?"
"What's wrong, Shimei? Didn't His Highness tell you? I am now his concubine, and I live in that Qingning courtyard." Yu Qingwu's lips raised, a delicate outline flashed with a smile, without waiting for Gao Min Yue to speak, she stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder, and thanked her gently, "By the way, Shimei, thank you for the crucian carp soup, I like it very much."
What does that mean?
Wasn't the crucian carp soup for Shixiong to eat?
Gao Min Yue was stunned, and even more collapsed.
Shixiong actually asked her to cook for this bitch!
No, so this bitch is the cousin of the Duke's residence, the woman Shixiong snatched from the Second Young Master of the Duke's residence?
The sister-in-law Shixiong was talking about was her?
In an instant, Gao Min Yue almost couldn't stand still.
"Bitch! You bitch!" A sharp voice came from her throat. Gao Min Yue suddenly rushed towards Yu Qingwu like a madwoman, frantically scratching at that beautiful face.
Perhaps feeling that it was not enough to relieve her anger just by scratching her face, she simply lifted the person up and threw her into the muddy pond full of silt.
Gao Min Yue was a martial artist, and Yu Qingwu was the only one among the many Shixiong and Shimei who didn't know martial arts. Falling into her hands, she could only be slaughtered.
Before long, her head was stuffed into the mud.
Seeing this scene, the servants were all frightened and shouted in horror, "Quick! Quick, go call His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Having said that, they stepped forward to stop Gao Min Yue.
Gao Min Yue was bloodshot, and didn't care at all. She kicked a servant away and cursed while grabbing Yu Qingwu's hair, "Bitch! Go to hell! Go to hell!" KuaiShuGe
Her voice was shrill, and Yu Qingwu felt as if her eardrums were pierced, and she felt that she was about to die in the next moment.
She tried hard to pry Gao Min Yue's hands away, but she heard a click, and a sharp pain came from her arm.
Yu Qingwu didn't have the slightest painful expression. She embedded her hands in the mud, triumphantly, smiled...
The piercing pain, the strong sense of suffocation, slowly, Yu Qingwu lost consciousness.
The thin arm floating on the surface of the pond also slowly drooped, and no longer moved.
"Bitch! Fight with me!" Gao Min Yue rolled up her sleeves, and cursed at the pond with a relieved expression.
When Xie Jin Yan arrived, Yu Qingwu was half floating on the surface of the pond, and seemed to have lost her breath.
