“I’m not as shameless as you!” “You’re simply outrageous!” Shuang Hong berated from behind Lu Lingyun’s back. “You’re the one who’s outrageous! You’re just a lowly servant, what right do you have to speak when the master is talking?” “What kind of master are you?” Shuang Hong was infuriated. This person thinks they’re some kind of master? As a concubine, Shuang Hong doesn’t even qualify as a half-master in the Houfu!
Lu Lingyun waved her hand, looking at Shuang Hong with interest. “You continue.” “Why did you have to get Cheng Yunshuo to accompany you back to your maternal home?” Lu Lingyun smiled, “He’s my husband.” “He doesn’t love you!” Lu Lingyun blinked her eyes, still unfazed. “What’s the big deal?” Her nonchalant attitude only infuriated Shuang Hong further. “He only loves me! Why do you have to meddle in our relationship, affecting our feelings?”
Lu Lingyun looked at Shuang Hong, a hint of ridicule on her lips. “I’ve already acknowledged him as my husband in front of heaven and earth. We’re the ones who are truly married.” “You can divorce him!” Shuang Hong said with authority, “If you had any face, you’d leave him. There are so many men in this world, why do you have to cling to Cheng Yunshuo, who already has a master?” “You simply don’t know your place! Get someone to throw her out!” Shuang Hong had finally lost her patience.
She was furious at Shuang Hong’s audacity, her anger trembling. Who does she think she is? A mere courtesan from a brothel, speaking like a princess or empress. What kind of confidence does she have to dare speak so boldly? At this moment, a group of people rushed into the courtyard. “Shuang Hong!” Cheng Yunshuo came just in time to rescue her. He had heard Shuang Hong’s last statement, and upon seeing Lu Lingyun’s eyes, his gaze involuntarily held a hint of apology.
He pulled Shuang Hong over, “What nonsense are you spewing again? Get back here!” “What nonsense am I saying? You promised me you’d draw a clear boundary with her, but you turned around and brought her back to the Houfu today! Cheng Yunshuo, what’s your explanation?” Cheng Yunshuo felt a pang of guilt, “Let’s talk about this back at the manor.” “What can’t be said here that needs to be discussed back at the manor? Are you thinking of having a second wife?” “Don’t speak nonsense!” “Then divorce her! Throw this little third wife out!”
A loud slap echoed in the courtyard. Shuang Hong stared at Cheng Yunshuo in shock, her cheek stinging. Cheng Yunshuo quickly reacted, “Shuang Hong…” “Cheng Yunshuo, you scoundrel!” Shuang Hong pushed him away, covering her face as she ran out crying. Cheng Yunshuo immediately chased after her. Throughout the whole ordeal, no one paid attention to Lu Lingyun.
Lu Lingyun used a ceramic spoon to scoop up a spoonful of sweetened red bean paste, savoring the silky smooth texture and perfect balance of flavors. “Young Madam, that woman is simply too outrageous! The Young Master doesn’t even give us an explanation, only caring about that one. It’s likely we’ll be favored even more in the future, crushing us in the process!” “Mm-hm.” Lu Lingyun’s expression remained calm as she savored the sweetened red bean paste. “Young Madam, are we just going to let her off?”
A ceramic spoon clinked into the bowl, and Lu Lingyun stopped eating, her delicate neck arcing up, her warm and gentle eyes suddenly glacial. Let her off? How could that be possible? “Find that Autumn Lotus Sister, who used to serve the Young Master at the Leisure Pavilion.”
