Chapter 1566: Rules of the Ge Mansion
As the carriage traveled along, Chan'er spread candy all the way. Many people passing by were able to share in the joy of their young lady. When they arrived at the Ge Mansion, there were still many people following to watch the fun.
Several servants had been waiting for Fu Liu at the gate of Ge's Mansion for a long time, but they didn't expect that this man's carriage had just arrived at Ge's Mansion.
Lian'er glanced at Fu Liu who got off the car, turned around and walked towards the main room.
When Chun'er saw Lian'er coming back, she asked, "Has the person been picked up?"
Lian'er snorted heavily, her eyes narrowed in resentment. "Bah! How arrogant! She's just a concubine, but she acts like a married woman. Look how she's showing off, showering herself with sweet nothings all the way. What's even more outrageous is that her wedding dress is no worse than the one my wife wore when she married into the Ge Mansion. You can tell it was painstakingly crafted by the most famous embroiderer in the imperial city. Master is really going too far. How can he be so partial to Fu Liu? How can a concubine overshadow our wife? That glittering outfit is obviously worth a fortune. Our wife doesn't even have pearls and jade, yet a lowly concubine like her spends so much on her attire and isn't afraid of ruining herself."
Lian'er was really angry. Her wife had been tolerant and accommodating again and again, but these people with no bottom line took advantage of every opportunity and pressed forward step by step. Her wife's prestige was about to be trampled upon by them.
Chun'er was also furious when she heard this. She knew that this person was dishonest. She didn't expect that she would cause trouble just after getting married. She looked at Lu Si Niang who was looking at the account book and said, "Madam, do you want me to give her a warning so that she won't become arrogant and domineering in the future?"
Lu Si Niang didn't take it seriously and said magnanimously, "I'm not afraid of what she might do. You two shouldn't try to offend the master. After all, today is a good day for your master."
The two little maids thought that the lady really wanted Ge Dongqing and Fu Liu to live together, but at night they realized that this was not the case at all.
Before the hour of You, Lu Siniang said a few words to Chun'er. Upon hearing this, Chun'er raised her eyebrows and smiled, then turned around and went to the side room to find the master.
In order not to scare Ge Dongqing with her face, and also to be able to sleep in the same bed with Ge Dongqing, Fu Liu did not take off her exquisite hat and veil for the whole day. However, today she showed her talent, and she and Ge Dongqing exchanged several poems in a loud and affectionate manner. They were truly a perfect match!
Listening to the laughter and noise in the room, Chun'er rolled her eyes several times and walked in with disgust. She said respectfully to Ge Dongqing, "Master, it's getting late. Madam asked me to tell you to go back and rest."
Ge Dongqing put away his smile. He was very happy today. He had drunk quite a bit of wine and was already a little tipsy. "Are you mistaken? Today is my big day. Liu'er is getting married today. Logically, I should stay at Liu'er's place."
Chun'er laughed sarcastically in her heart, but her face was still smiling: "Master, I am not mistaken. It was indeed Madam who ordered me to come. Madam said that it is the rule to let Master go back and rest."
Ge Dongqing was puzzled. "What kind of rule is this? I live with my bride, this is the eternal rule, right?"
Ge Dongqing patted his head with his hand. He suspected that he had drunk too much and his ears were not working well.
Seeing this, Chun'er said calmly, "Master, this is the rule of our Ge Mansion. You set this rule."
Ge Dongqing pointed to his chest and asked in disbelief, "Did I decide?"
"Yes, it was the master who decided it. Back then, the master and the mistress also lived separately on their wedding night. The mistress said that this tradition must be preserved and this rule must be established from now on. No one can break it, otherwise they will be punished according to the family law." After saying that, Chun'er's eyes fell on the back of Ge Dongqing's hand. Two parallel whip marks were as glaring as two centipedes on the back of Ge Dongqing's hand. The whip marks on his body were so numerous that they were countless. Thinking of Lu Siniang's fatal whip, Ge Dongqing completely sobered up.
Fu Liu held onto Ge Dongqing's arm and said delicately, "Master, this is the rule Madam set for me, right? I, Fu Liu, may be a concubine, but I'm pregnant with your child. I, Fu Liu, can endure humiliation, but the child in my belly cannot be wronged. Master, the child in my belly will carry on the Ge family's bloodline."
Ge Dongqing patted Fu Liu's hand and said comfortingly, "I know you are precious, and I also know how precious our child is. As long as you give birth to the child, you will be the most meritorious person in the Ge family. However, our family does have this rule. Since I set this rule, I must abide by it."
Fu Liu was puzzled: "Why did the master set such a rule?"
Ge Dongqing gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger. This was not the rule he set. Lu Siniang was deliberately making trouble for him. This was a case of giving someone a taste of his own medicine. Thinking back to the past, he had indeed neglected Lu Siniang as soon as he got married. He didn't expect that Lu Siniang would hold a grudge against him until today. He was reaping what he sowed.
Ge Dongqing patted Fu Liu's hand again and said, "I'm going to the Madam, you should get some rest early."
Fu Liu was very unhappy to see Ge Dongqing listening to Lu Siniang's words. She was furious and her face turned pale. "Master, I remember that you and Madam were in name only. Why did you stay the night with her?"
Ge Dongqing played dumb, not daring to look Fu Liu in the eye through the veil, "When did I say that?"
"The master told me that himself when he was drunk!"
"Oh my Liu'er, you are indeed inexperienced. Can you believe what he says when he's drunk? You can't believe what he says when he's drunk!"
If Fu Liu had not experienced much of the world, then she would not have experienced much. She complained, "What the master said in the past was all lies?"
Ge Dongqing glanced at Chun'er, then whispered to Fu Liu, "Aiya Liu'er, you should know how to feel sorry for me. Who is Lu Si Niang? She's a rough person. She's very strong. How can I avoid her in bed?"
"It's ok that Lu Si Niang was rude and beat people, but she also forced herself on the master?" Fu Liu's voice scared away the swallows under the eaves.
Chun Er coughed twice in dissatisfaction. Did he really think that a servant like her didn't exist? She urged, "Master, let's go. Don't keep Madam waiting for too long."
Ge Dongqing nodded in agreement. It was not that he had to follow this rule today, but he lost all interest when he thought of Fu Liu's fat and swollen face. It didn't make much difference whether he spent the night here or not. He might as well maintain the harmony in his family and go live with Lu Si Niang.
This was the first time Lu Siniang sent someone to call him back to bed.
Ge Dongqing was secretly calculating in his heart that Lu Siniang was old after all, and she also knew the dangers of taking a concubine. If that was the case, then taking a concubine would be the right choice for him.
