The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 152: Win people’s hearts

Songyayuan is a good courtyard.

King Jing had the house carefully renovated in order to welcome baby Jiang. How could mice and night cats suddenly appear there?

This is not the deep mountains.

The only explanation is that Concubine Jiang was taken advantage of by someone she had offended in the past to seek revenge.

Xie Run can also do this kind of thing.

However, Concubine Jiang's fate will not be good.

In order to vent his anger, Xie Run didn't want to do such a stupid thing as getting involved in the mess of Concubine Jiang.

Concubine Lu laughed and said, "The maids and servants in Songya Courtyard have been fined for six months' wages. I'm afraid they hate Concubine Jiang to death."

Slaves lived on a small monthly salary.

Especially for those who have to support a family, the monthly allowance is life-saving money!

Concubine Jiang's series of misdeeds caused the entire Songya Courtyard to lose half a year's income, and these people had a hard time.

If anyone wants to deal with Concubine Jiang, these people will probably be eager to help if they get money.

In Songyayuan today, it makes no difference whether the door is there or not.

Suddenly, Concubine Lu smiled, not knowing what she was thinking about. "The princess seems to really like to punish people with monthly allowances."

"Just because of Concubine Jiang's troubles several times, the monthly allowance that the princess fined her has saved the mansion a lot of money."

As she spoke, Concubine Lu looked a little embarrassed.

Because Xie Run went to Songya Court to harass Concubine Jiang last time, he was also fined a monthly allowance.

When Xie Run saw that she suddenly became quiet, he knew that Concubine Lu was afraid of her.

She smiled and said, "We're just chatting, there's no need to be so cautious."

"If I don't dare to speak, won't it seem like I'm too overbearing?"

Concubine Lu showed gratitude and smiled, "It's me who speaks without restraint, but I appreciate your kindness and generosity."

Concubine Lu sometimes felt that Concubine Xie and Concubine An had similar temperaments: quiet and dignified, gentle and calm, and not fond of fighting with others.

But when I get along with these two people, the feeling is completely different.

When I was with Concubine An, I felt tired and even disgusted.

But when he was with Concubine Xie, he felt as if the sky was clear and the spring breeze was blowing on his face, which made him overjoyed.

That kind of ease and joy emanates from the bones.

The difference is not just that Concubine Xie is braver than Concubine An.

If Concubine Lu was asked to explain the difference in detail, she couldn't say it. She could only say that when she was with Concubine Xie, both her body and mind were open.

As they chatted, they noticed that the sun was shining brightly outside, so they decided to take Taotao outside to bask in the sun.

Xie Run likes to take walks, and there are many open spaces near Chunshanyuan, so she often takes Taotao out for a stroll.

It's not that I'm afraid someone will harm me, so I keep Taotao locked up in the room all day.

Even though Xie Run had never raised a child, he knew that children needed to go outside often to enhance their immunity and adaptability to the environment, so as to avoid low resistance and being seriously ill from a minor illness.

As the two of them walked out of the gate of Chunshan Courtyard, Concubine Lu raised her hand to shield her eyes and said with a smile, "It's finally clear. The sun is so nice today."

Xie Run straightened the swaddling clothes for the grinning Taotao.

She also looked at the sun and smiled, "Isn't it?"

"The sun isn't very bright, but it makes me feel warm and cheerful."

Concubine Lu came closer, staring at Taotao, her heart almost melting into a ball of water.

"Our Fifth Young Master is white and plump, so handsome. He rarely cries and always smiles at people. Who wouldn't like him?"

Xie Run pinched Xiao Cong's face and saw that he, who was grinning in the previous second, became a wrinkled old man in the next second.

"I wonder who he took after, why he loves to laugh so much?"

Several times Xie Run wanted to sleep in, but was woken up by the laughter of this little rascal.

To say it was laughter wasn't accurate either.

He likes to shake the small toy in his hand when he laughs, and the noise he makes is quite loud.

"Laughing is a good thing." Concubine Lu said biasedly, "I heard that the Third Young Master is always crying and making a fuss because of his premature birth. In order to take good care of him, the maids and servants in Xiachi Courtyard have suffered a lot."

As for Concubine An's fourth son, Concubine Lu was not willing to mention him.

She and Concubine An have already formed a feud.

Concubine Lu would not harm Concubine An, but she was waiting to see her suffer.

Running to Xie Run to mock Concubine An seemed too ungentlemanly.

If Concubine Lu wanted to be on good terms with Xie Run, she would not do such a stupid thing.

Xie Run held the little tiger and coaxed Tao Tao, "You are right, I should cherish my blessings."

"He was a well-behaved child who lived until full term. He didn't cry or make a fuss, and he didn't bother me when I was eating or drinking. I'm so lucky to have such a baby."

The Third Young Master is now being properly supported.

But this child is really difficult to raise.

If it's a little cold or hot, he will start to toss and turn, or cry incessantly or get sick, or he won't be able to eat or sleep well.

Everyone in Xiachiyuan had to run around with him, and this often disturbed the princess.

Since giving birth to him, Fang Yuaner has lost a lot of weight, and it must have taken a lot of effort.

Concubine Lu nodded and said, "I had the honor of meeting the Third Young Master last time. He is obviously one month older than the Fifth Young Master, but he has lost a lot of weight."

Xie Run thought, if the mother does evil, won’t the child suffer?

As we were chatting, we saw two old women passing by carrying food.

Concubine Lu looked in the direction and said with a smile, "This is probably lunch for Songya Courtyard."

"Why send it now?"

At this point, it was already an hour past lunch.

Xie Run stood aside and watched without saying anything.

Concubine Lu suddenly waved her hand, "You two, come here!"

The two maids carrying the food were also stunned.

But since their master had called them, they still came forward obediently.

Concubine Lu asked, "Is this for Concubine Jiang?"

The two maids quickly said yes.

Concubine Lu: "Open it and take a look."

The two maids hesitated for a moment, and one of them said boldly, "Master Lu, this...is not the rule. I have to go deliver food to Concubine Jiang, and I'm afraid I'll be scolded if I'm late."

"Why is Concubine Jiang under house arrest and still cursing people?" When Concubine Lu said this, she looked like she was enjoying the show.

The two maids nodded immediately, "That's right. He threw me around, scolded me, and once even scratched me, almost disfiguring me!"

"Are you still so arrogant now?"

"Not really. He's been much quieter lately, except for the swearing."

"She's really energetic." Concubine Lu smiled and said, "Open the box. It won't delay your business."

As she spoke, Ying'er, who was beside Concubine Lu, came forward and gave them some change.

The two maids took the silver and saw that Master Xie did not express any dissatisfaction, so they immediately opened the lunch box.

In the huge lunch box, there was only a bowl of burnt rice and a plate of vegetables.

When you get closer, you can faintly smell a sour smell.

Xie Run, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "Whose idea was this?"

The people in the kitchen wanted to target Concubine Jiang, but they definitely didn't dare to go so far.

Now Jiang Baobao is still a concubine, and the kitchen will be cautious until the prince and princess order her to be punished.

Facing Xie Run's question, the two maids answered honestly: "Reporting to Concubine Xie, it is Concubine Wan."
