Chapter 289 You are my god (20)
The next morning, it was Mingzhu's turn to serve tea to the elders of the family and Ning Shu, the wife, but Anyou and Mingzhu slept until the sun was high in the sky, leaving the old lady and Ning Shu alone in the main hall for so long.
Ning Shu didn't care about it. The old lady held her cane and looked unhappy. Finally, she comforted Ning Shu and said, "If she doesn't want to serve tea, forget it. Only if you, the first wife, drink her tea can you be considered to have acknowledged her status. She doesn't care about it herself, so don't worry about her."
Ning Shu nodded.
An Lingyun had been waiting for a long time and couldn't help but say to Ning Shu, "Mom, how about I go and ask someone to call Daddy?"
Ning Shu looked at the old lady, and the old lady asked her personal maid to go and ask someone.
After a while, Anyou and Mingzhu came. When Mingzhu entered the room and saw that everyone was looking at her, her face suddenly turned red, and she looked extremely beautiful.
Ning Shu saw Anyou's slightly yellow face and smiled meaningfully.
"Mom, I'm sorry for making everyone wait. Haven't you eaten yet? Let's eat." An You was a groom last night, and he looked radiant. Even so, Ning Shu could still see that his face was a little yellow.
"Dad, do you know that everyone has been waiting for you for a long time?" An Lingyun complained to An You with a pout.
An You was quite fond of his daughter, and he didn't say anything when he heard this, but Mingzhu, who was next to him, knelt down to An Lingyun and said, "Lingyun, this is all because of me. I was a little tired this morning, so I slept a little longer. I'm sorry."
An Lingyun's face suddenly became ugly, and she said, "Get up, don't kneel."
"I did something wrong. I made everyone wait for me like this. I apologize to everyone. Can you forgive me?" Mingzhu looked at An Lingyun, as if waiting for An Lingyun to forgive her, otherwise she would not get up.
An Lingyun: ...
"Lingyun, you are so kind, please forgive me." Mingzhu said again.
An Lingyun was so angry that she was dying. It was obviously her who was late. If she didn't forgive, she would be unkind?
Ning Shu smiled in his heart. Some things can only be felt when they happen to oneself. Mingzhu in the plot is like this. When her knees are made of iron, she kneels down with a plop and then pees. Everyone stands on her side and blames the original owner.
Now it happens to An Lingyun. How does An Lingyun feel?
It is estimated that it will not be very pleasant.
Although Mingzhu is simple, she can feel the malice and dislike of others towards her. In this room, An Lingyun was the first to speak. Mingzhu felt that An Lingyun did not like her, so she did it instinctively.
Instinctively, she wanted to use the power of other people around to get the leader out of trouble.
So now An Lingyun is targeted.
Ning Shu stood by and did not speak, just watching.
"Lingyun, please forgive me." Mingzhu said to An Lingyun with an ugly face.
An You pulled up the kneeling on the ground and said to An Lingyun: "This is my idea. You don't have to blame Mingzhu. Mingzhu is also your mother. Respect Mingzhu."
Mother? My mother is Wei Lingxian. When did the concubine become my mother? An Lingyun was so angry. Seeing her father defending Mingzhu, she felt even more sad and jealous.
"Lingyun and I are friends. You don't have to call me mother." Mingzhu waved her hands quickly.
An Lingyun became even angrier. A good friend stole my father. Anyway, An Lingyun felt nauseous and couldn't vomit. She felt very uncomfortable.
"Lingyun, it's getting late. Let's serve the food. Everyone is hungry." Ning Shu said to An Lingyun. An Lingyun pouted her lips and arranged for the servants to serve the dishes.
This was Mingzhu's first meal as a concubine in the general's mansion. According to the rules, she should serve a table of people. To put it bluntly, a concubine is a slave.
But Mingzhu sat next to Anyou and picked up dishes for Anyou, looking very sweet.
Mingzhu did not realize that her identity was different. She was no longer the Princess Mingzhu, but a concubine. The main wife even had the right to sell her. She lived in her own world, knowing nothing and not caring.
The old lady had a dark face throughout the whole process, and the ivory chopsticks poked the bowl loudly. Anyou noticed that his mother seemed to be in a bad mood and asked, "Mom, don't these taste good?"
The old lady: "Hehe..."
After breakfast, Anyou and Mingzhu left. The old lady slammed the ivory chopsticks on the table, looking very angry, and her voice was trembling: "What kind of family education is this, I have never seen such an unruly person."
Ning Shu just comforted the old lady not to be angry. Now Anyou naturally treasured Mingzhu.
It is easy to fall in love, but it is true love to keep loving each other.
Ning Shu took An Lingyun to various gatherings of noble ladies, so that An Lingyun could see the world and show An Lingyun her in-laws.
Many noble ladies looked at Ning Shu with sympathy. In the past, An You did not even have a concubine, but now a shameless Princess Mingzhu has emerged. They warned Ning Shu to set up the rules. Mingzhu is just a commoner now, what is there to be afraid of.
Ning Shu always smiled and said that she knew. Other ladies looked at Ning Shu with more sympathy. Their husbands were taken away by women, but they still had to force a smile. They all talked about how they dealt with the restless concubines, and almost all of them gnashed their teeth.
As long as they are the main wife, they hate the concubines who share their husbands.
An Lingyun listened from the side and felt that the door to a new world had been opened. What about selling, what about completely sterilizing the concubines, or how to torture the concubines and let them serve tea and water.
On the way back, An Lingyun asked Ning Shu, "Does everyone hate concubines?"
An Lingyun lived in a simple and happy environment. Naturally, she had not seen what a family with many wives and concubines looked like, so she naturally could not care about the harm that concubines did to the main wife.
The main wife had to pretend to be generous and let her husband take a concubine.
Ning Shu did not say directly, "Which of these ladies do you think is the easiest to get along with? I think it is Madam Li. I heard that Madam Li's son is about the same age as your brother."
An Lingyun was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and she said a little embarrassedly, "Mom..." "
Don't be embarrassed. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough." Ning Shu said.
"It's good to have more contact with these ladies. You will also be mentally prepared when you get married in the future. Your future husband will not be the only woman like you. It's good to listen to them more." Ning Shu said indifferently.
An Lingyun's heart was suddenly overshadowed. "Can't I be like my father, with only one wife, mother? How can these men be so heartless..."
An Lingyun couldn't continue talking, because her father now also has a concubine, and he entered the world of women at an old age.
But An You's behavior hurt Wei Lingxian more than those men with many wives and concubines hurt their wives.
If he couldn't do it, why did he give Wei Lingxian such a vision?
