The Legend of Concubine's Daughter Minglan

Chapter 124

Only after a few days Hongxiao and Qiuniang had arrived, Minglan suddenly found that there were so many people caring about Gu Tingye's sex life.

One day, Mama Lai came to Minglan's room cheerfully. At first she kept flattering Minglan with sweet words, which gave tingles in Minglan's ears. Then Mama Lai finally went to the point, "... Madam, you are still too young to know the rules in a big family like us. Actually, you need to make a schedule for Master to let him sleep with you and his concubine in turn. Then our family would be peaceful!"

Minglan fell into silence for a long while. This was the first time she really got furious. Then she looked at Mama Lai with a cold expression on her face at once. With the smile on Mama Lai's face freezing, she shut her mouth with fear. Seeing the sullen look on Minglan's face, Mama Lai then smiled fawningly and said, "Madam, forgive me for be meddling. I said that for your own good. I was only afraid that others might call you a 'jealous woman'."

Minglan snorted secretly, 'You really think I know nothing? How dare you bully me in such a barefaced way?! The rule of letting the madam and concubines serving their masters in turn is meant to restrict the concubines.' Normally, men favored their concubines more than their wives. Therefore, this rule was meant to prevent the man from doting on one concubine.

However, not so many big families were able to carry out that rule.

Minglan tried her best to hide the cold expression in her eyes and smiled gently, "I didn't know about that rule indeed. Mama, you were right. Then I have to ask you something. First, has First Madam Qin made any schedule like this?"

Mama Lai didn't know what to say. When First Madam Qin had been alive, Old Master Gu hadn't had any concubines or Tong Fang.

Minglan then asked again, "What about Bai shi and Old Madam Qin?"

Mama Lai choked again. Not only had Bai shi never agreed with that rule, even Old Madam Qin who had been famous for her virtue hadn't made any schedule like that.

Minglan started to snort, "Then have my sisters-in-law made any schedule like this? Mama, have you suggested them to do so?"

Mama Lai couldn't utter a single word and only stood put, not knowing if she should leave or stay. The look on her face already twisted due to her awkwardness.

Minglan said calmly, "So, it seems that you only care about me."

Only until then did Mama Lai know that she had got herself in trouble. Her new madam had a clear mind and a glib tongue. Mama Lai, aware that Minglan was not someone she could fool with so easily, wanted to kneel down right away in panic. Minglan winked at Xiaotao immediately. Then the latter suddenly stopped Mama Lai from kneeling down with great strength. On the other side, Minglan smiled softly, saying, "Mama, I don't deserve this."

Mama Lai, with cold sweats all over her forehead, couldn't spit a word.

After Mama Lai had left, Danju said furiously, "Madam, we cannot leave it at that. They are so outrageous!" Xiaotao began to give a lousy idea, "We can find faults with them and punish her fiercely! I hope we can beat her with those big sticks! Then she will never dare to bother us!"

Minglan, with a gloomy look on her face, clenched her fists tightly. No one was able to tell what she was thinking. After a long while, she said in a low voice, "Nice try! If I really punish her, that woman in Marquis Ningyuan's mansion would be so pleased. The more she wants something big to happen in our mansion, the more I'll let our family be in peace!"

Danju and Xiaotao looked at each other, not understanding Minglan's words. Minglan raised her head and asked, "Has Mama Lai had any argument or quarrel with anyone since she arrived in this mansion?"
