Chapter 109: Become a Concubine

Since the showdown with Tao Yurong that day, Tao Yurong has not made any unusual moves.

As if nothing had happened, he visited Ruanruan every two days and treated Xia Zheng as warmly as usual. No one could tell that there was a rift between them.

But Xia Zheng knew that the more Tao Yurong acted like this, the more dangerous she would be.

She never gets her hands dirty in anything, so she is never implicated in anything. She is spotless. Even if everyone knows that she did it, there is no evidence and no one can do anything to her.

Therefore, she must have been secretly planning while she was calm.

Now that ten days have passed, I'm afraid everything has been arranged.

But I can't see anything, the enemy is in the dark while I am in the light, which is really a disadvantage.

But all Xia Zheng can do now is to burn her boats.

The reason why he chose that day to take out the blood-red earrings and confront Tao Yurong was to provoke her to take action.

After all, since Tao Yurong has already made up her mind to be soft, she will sooner or later find out that her mother has left the Marquis' Mansion. Instead of waiting for her to find out and then making detailed plans, it is better to catch her off guard and let her know that she can't wait any longer. Her mother was brought out by Gu Yizi himself, so she can't move for the time being and can only come to herself.

And she wanted to use Tao Yurong's means to completely clear the connection between herself and Tao Yurong in Gu Yizi's mind, so that she could completely rely on Gu Yizi to move forward.

"Auntie! Auntie!" Shuangjiang called out several times but there was no response from Xia Zheng, so he reached out and gently pushed her hand away.

Xia Zheng finally came back to her senses, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you hear what I just said?"

Xia Zheng shook her head and said, "Don't say anything." She didn't hear a word.

Shuangjiang was a little overwhelmed, thinking that her earlier excited narration had been in vain. She sighed helplessly and said, "Auntie, you've been distracted so much these past few days. How about calling the palace doctor to take a look?"

"It's just that I didn't sleep well last night. There's no need. Just repeat what you just said." Xia Zheng sat upright, indicating that she would listen carefully this time.

Shuangjiang had lost her previous excitement and recounted calmly, "The prince has revised the list of guests for the young lady's full-moon banquet, and all the famous families in Kyoto have sent invitations."

"A prominent family? All of them?"

Frost nodded.

"Didn't *** and the Crown Princess object?"

"I haven't heard whether or not there are any servants. I heard from the sister in Fanghua Court that the Crown Prince's Concubine mentioned it, but the Crown Prince didn't agree. The invitations have already been sent out, so the matter is settled. The Crown Prince really does love our young lady."

As Shuangjiang spoke, her mood became more excited again. These days, they knew that because of Xia Zheng's identity, the young lady's full moon banquet could not be a big one, and they all felt sorry for Xia Zheng and the young lady and were worried about her.

But Xia Zheng couldn't be happy.

Because this isn't right.

Even though Gu Yizi loves Ruanruan, this matter is not just about love or not. There are too many things involved. One move can affect the whole body. This is also the winning point that Tao Yurong is sure to win.

Gu Yizi would not sacrifice the entire Zhenguo Mansion for Ruanruan, and *** would never agree to it.

But why were the invitations sent out?

Boom!

There was a sound of something crashing outside.

"Be careful! There are auspicious things in here. It will be unlucky if you break them."

Happy gift?

Ruanruan has been born for more than 20 days. What kind of gift should we give her at this time?

Xia Zheng couldn't stand the wind and couldn't even open the window, so she could only signal Shuangjiang to go out and see what was going on.

After a while, Shuangjiang came in with a woman wearing a red brocade jacket and with a festive smile on her face.

As soon as she entered the room, the old woman bowed to Xia Zheng and said, "Congratulations, Auntie. Congratulations, Auntie."

"I don't understand what my mother said. Where does the joy come from?"

"Of course, the wedding is with the concubine." The old woman turned around, took a brocade box from the maid who had followed her in, and opened it. Inside was a lily of the valley gold hairpin, and underneath was a piece of paper with something written on it. "This is the concubine's ...

"What did you say? A concubine's document?"

Xia Zheng was confused for a moment. She was already Gu Yizi's maid and concubine, and she had a child. What documents were needed to take her as a concubine?

"My aunt, you don't know. Maids and concubines don't need official documents, but noble concubines and concubines are different. They need to write a concubine document and send it to the government to keep it in the family register. In the future, they can raise children, share the family property, and their status can also be improved."

Good concubine?

Gu Yizi took her as his concubine!

This was something Xia Zheng had never expected, at least not now.

After all, in Gu Yizi's eyes, she was Tao Yurong's person, and he only had the respect for Tao Yurong that he should have for his wife. He also knew some of the things Tao Yurong had done, and he would not lift her up even if she gave birth to Ruanruan.

That's why she wanted to sever her relationship with Tao Yurong.

As a result, Gu Yizi actually promoted her directly and made her his concubine.

As the name suggests, a concubine must have a clean background and be a registered citizen, while a slave can only be a maid or concubine. To put it nicely, she is half a master, but to put it bluntly, she is still a slave.

Even if you give birth to a child, you are not entitled to raise it.

Once Gu Yizi gets tired of it, he can just return it to its original state, or even give it away like an object or use it to entertain guests, and the mistress can also sell it at will.

A concubine is the real master, and even her husband cannot dispose of her at will. Her children also have a decent status.

Therefore, only the famous people can be invited to the full moon banquet

It seems that Gu Yizi likes Ruanruan much more than she thought. For Ruanruan, he can put aside his grudges and go to great lengths to raise her status.

After all, even though she was nominally dead and no longer a slave, this matter was not public. Everyone in the mansion knew that she was a fire-making maid in the Marquis's mansion. In this case, it was not easy to turn her from a slave into a free woman.

I think that when she asked him to rescue her mother from the Marquis' Mansion, he took her slave contract as well just to plot against Ruanruan today.

However, this may not be the case in Tao Yurong's opinion at this moment.

Just look at the flattering look in the eyes of the old woman in front of him and he will know that now everyone in the mansion must believe that she is a mother of status because of her son, and her favor is even greater.

That would definitely make Tao Yurong act faster and more hastily.

……

Soseki's residence.

Gu Yizi was sitting at the desk looking at the official documents in his hand. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the old woman who had sent Dingxi to Yinlin Courtyard come back and say something to Changfeng.

Seeing Changfeng turning around, Gu Yizi immediately retracted his gaze and returned it to the official document.

"Has the stuff been delivered?"

As soon as Changfeng entered the door, Gu Yizi's voice rang out.

"Yes."

Seeing Chang Feng's simple one-word response, Gu Yizi's eyes held a hint of dissatisfaction, but he couldn't show it, so he asked tactfully, "How about not saying she received it? Did she express her gratitude?"

Changfeng was stunned by the question, he didn't ask these questions.

But he was afraid that he would be punished for being lazy, so he quickly thought about it and remembered what the old woman said.

"Although Auntie didn't seem very excited, I think she was weak from the confinement period and was happy. Who wouldn't be happy about this?"

"My aunt is naturally delighted to receive it, but it's a pity that I'm in confinement after childbirth. Otherwise, I'd probably rush to Soseki Residence to personally thank the Crown Prince for his kindness."

Are you running here?

A picture appeared in Gu Yizi's mind.

Due to her status, she has always been cautious and behaved in a proper manner. She has never rushed towards him. At most, she would dare to overstep her bounds a little when they were in love.

Thinking of this, those images and moans jumped out of his mind, making Gu Yizi's mouth dry.

He would be able to see her in about ten days. He had never wanted to see someone so much.
