Chapter 6: The Power of Humility (Part 2)

  This is unbearable. Its indeed because the mansion is too idle and no one is in charge. Chu Lianruo nodded, "I just married into the Wang family and Im not familiar with some things in the mansion. Yesterday, when I wanted to take a bath, there was no hot water prepared in the kitchen, and this mornings breakfast was only buns and plain porridge." Chu Lianruo took a pause before continuing, "I thought maybe theres something difficult going on in the mansion, if so, please tell me. Although I just married into the family, I also hope to help support Wang Ye a bit. Later, Ill write a letter to my father, although hes only the governor of Cen state, but some financial assistance is still possible."

  The most talked-about thing is that Fengs cold sweat is dripping, if its really like this, letting outsiders know that the Yun Wang Fu has taken in a concubine for less than a day and already needs to be supported by her father, wouldnt the Yun Wang be pointed at and ridiculed by everyone in the capital? The concubine doesnt matter whether she knows or not, but these servants will definitely be skinned alive.

  Fengs hand touched the golden hairpin on her head and she fell to her knees from the chair.

  Chu Lian pretended to be surprised and anxiously asked Lady Feng if she was feeling unwell, and also told Si Yu beside her to help Lady Feng up. Before Si Yu could even lift her up, Lady Feng hastily said, "I didnt expect those little rascals to actually dare to neglect the Consort as well. Its all because Ive been too negligent. When I get back, Ill teach those insolent servants a lesson and make sure they apologize to the Consort."

  "I didnt expect things to be like this, the masters family shouldnt blame themselves too much, just scold the servants a few times and it will be fine, if they are punished too severely, it would be my fault instead."

  Feng said repeatedly that Chu Lians words had already made her somewhat weak, so she sent Feng away and let Si Wei see her out of the Blazing Smoke Pavilion.

  Si Yus face was filled with joy and she couldnt hide it. After Feng Shi left, she hurriedly said, "Concubine, you were absolutely right! The look on Feng Shis face just now was truly satisfying!"

  Chu Lian didnt respond, her hand stroking her chest as she slowly caught her breath. She hadnt expected this body to be so weak; although it was true that she had been like this before, it was also because she had been drugged and given birth prematurely back then. As the generals daughter, her physical condition should have been good, but now this body was clearly born with a frail constitution, and even with nourishment, it could only be slightly improved, not completely cured.

  Lunch was sent over from the kitchen, eight dishes and one soup, with a good balance of meat and vegetables, still steaming hot, looking like it had been made to order. Chulian hinted that she had given some loose change to the cook, picked up her silver chopsticks and ate a few bites casually, and gave the rest to the two maids.

  Chu Lian had the habit of taking a nap at noon, and she always slept for half an hour. Moreover, she didnt sleep well last night, so this time she fell into a deep sleep. In her dream, there were still those nightmares that she couldnt shake off, but no matter what, she couldnt wake up. Suddenly, a loud noise entered her ears, and she abruptly opened her eyes, propping herself up to sit up straight. Si Wei had just quietly walked in, and Chu Lians voice was slightly cold as she asked, "Whats going on outside?"

  "Concubine, its Li Guan Shi who sent someone over with a gift," said Si Wei cautiously.

  Chu Lian rubbed her forehead, "Help me get up."

  After receiving the goods, the two of them came to the warm pavilion, one in front and one behind. Several servants saw Chu Lianruo come out and salute, their appearance was pitiful. Those four servants standing respectfully under the main hall looked thin and timid, at a glance they had not received training, and didnt even know how to greet properly.

  Chu Lians gaze swept over the servant who had brought the people, her eyes dim and distant. "The Bluestone Pavilion is not a place that just anyone can enter. Take these people away."
