GNU Ch 110 Part 2 – Taking a Concubine (II)

Ruan-shi panicked, and all of a sudden, she stammered: “I…I didn’t mean that. If that Su Ke’er doesn’t leave, won’t Mo’er suffer for nothing? Su Ke’er is still living in Huo family manor. If Huo Xue-shi gives her the honor and makes her the Marquis’ concubine during Mo’er’s recuperation period, then what to do? Mo’er is still unable to serve the Marquis. In the case of Su Ke’er gave birth to the eldest son before Mo’er, what will Mo’er do for the next half of her life?”

Ruan-shi felt that there was nothing wrong with her worries. Mo’er could always get pregnant again even if her first child were gone, but a concubine couldn’t be sent away once she entered the manor. Even more dangerous was that Su Ke’er had Huo Changyuan’s affection as a cousin and Huo Xue-shi’s preference as a niece. If Su Ke’er really gave birth to Huo Changyuan’s eldest son… Ruan-shi didn’t even dare to imagine how Cheng Yumo would have to spend the rest of her life under the pressure of a favored concubine and shu child.

Therefore, even if it was still only half a month after Cheng Yumo’s miscarriage, Ruan-shi forced her daughter to attend the palace banquet today. She even specially planned it to avoid Qingfu Junzhu so that she and her daughter could see Cheng Yujin alone. If they only had Cheng family as a backer, Ruan-shi wouldn’t dare to open this matter, but Cheng Yumo was not only the daughter of Yichun Marquis Manor, she was also the Crown Princess’ younger sister! The mother-in-law of normal families would have to give the daughter-in-law’s natal family an explanation following a miscarriage incident, but now that Cheng Yumo was the Crown Princess’ younger sister, how could Ruan-shi easily spare Huo Xue-shi?

Ruan-shi was determined to give Huo Xue-shi a lesson and let the Huo family know that their Cheng family was not easy to offend.

Ruan-shi cried sorrowfully: “Crown Princess, Mo’er only has you to rely on. You must give Mo’er justice! This subject’s wife begs Crown Princess. Please send that Su-shi far away!”

Cheng Yumo sobbed with her head down. Ruan-shi was overwhelmed with emotion as she spoke and firmly believed she was right. The mother and daughter’s cry made Cheng Yujin’s head ache. She massaged her temple and raised her hand impatiently: “Enough.”

Ruan-shi’s crying stopped, and Cheng Yumo also subconsciously restrained her sob. Ruan-shi raised her head and looked at Cheng Yujin expectantly: “Crown Princess?”

“I have my own judgment on this matter.” Cheng Yujin cast a light glance at Du Ruo. “Marchioness Jingyong has just miscarried and is still physically weak. Du Ruo, help the Marchioness inside so she can rest a bit. Lian Qiao, you go and send someone to summon Old Madam Huo.”

Ruan-shi was overjoyed when she heard that. Du Ruo and Lian Qiao simultaneously replied, “Yes, Your Highness.”
