Chapter 240 Seventh Concubine
Chapter 240 Seventh Concubine
Shen Yunrou was so angry she almost laughed. She had saved her, and the girl was turning around and blaming her.
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't tilted your body, I wouldn't have fallen!" Su Yao was still yelling.
The other young ladies couldn't stand it anymore and started criticizing Su Yao.
"Su Yao, it was Shen Yunrou who saved you, how can you be so unreasonable?" a young lady in a pale yellow dress said.
Su Yao's face turned pale and then red, but she still stubbornly insisted, "What do you know? She did it on purpose."
Shen Yunrou didn't want to get entangled with her anymore, so she shook off Su Yao's hand and turned to leave.
The other noble ladies also didn't want to stay and left, leaving only Su Yao biting her lip tightly, filled with resentment.
“Young master, I saw it clearly just now. It was Miss Su’s fault! How could she blame another young lady?”
On a large tree opposite the pavilion, the servant asked his young master a question with a puzzled look.
The young master being questioned held a fan and seemed lost in thought.
The servant was thinking to himself that his young master was really heartless; he hadn't even let him go down to save people.
Shen Yunrou hadn't expected that there would be a third party witnessing this scene. She felt that there was no good banquet and that she shouldn't have come!
Lin Liuyi wasn't paying attention to Shen Yunrou anymore; she was listening to Hu Die report on their business.
"What's wrong, Sister Hu Die? You seem distracted. I've noticed the shop's business has been quite good lately!"
Lin Liuyi glanced at the lipstick shop's revenue records and realized that women's money was always the easiest to earn.
"It's not about the shop's business, it's about another woman coming to the Marshal's mansion!" Hu Die said with a worried look on her face.
"A woman? What, is she very beautiful?" Lin Liu was completely confused.
Judging from Hu Die's personality, she shouldn't be involved in female rivalry. Aren't all the other ladies in the Marshal's Mansion partners with her? So why does she seem so hostile towards this woman?
“No.” Hu Die shook her head. “She’s a Japanese woman! I always felt there was something wrong with her.”
Well, that day when they got off work and returned to the Marshal's mansion, the Marshal said that someone else had given him another woman. Hu Die and the others didn't say anything. They had been busy with the shop lately and had indeed neglected the Marshal. It was good that someone was taking care of him now.
But when they met Murakami Kyoko, they felt something was off.
"Something's not right?" Lin Liuyi pressed.
Hu Die lowered her voice and said, "I saw her acting suspiciously, trying to get into the Marshal's study. Also, she openly and subtly told the Marshal that she also wanted to get into our shop."
Lin Liuyi frowned in thought. Could it be that Xiao Ri was starting to have ulterior motives at this time?
"Fortunately, the commander-in-chief didn't agree. He said that these things belong to us sisters, and he, a grown man, wouldn't touch them." Hu Die was quite satisfied with the commander-in-chief's attitude.
However, Lin Liuyi was not so relaxed. Thinking about the heinous things that Xiao Rizi did to the country later, she felt that Hu Die and the others still had to be careful.
Meanwhile, at the Marshal's Mansion, while everyone else was outside, Murakami Kyoko quietly entered the study.
She had assumed there would be something in the study, but to her surprise, there was nothing there except a bed.
"Damn it, could there be a secret room here?"
Kyoko Murakami didn't believe the Marshal's mansion was so clean, so she knocked and banged around in the study, trying to find the secret room.
She came with a mission: to find the secrets hidden in the Marshal's Mansion.
Just then, the second wife returned to get something, and as she passed by the study, she noticed some movement inside.
She went up the bridge and pushed open the door, just in time to see Murakami Kyoko lying on the ground.
"Oh, what is Seventh Concubine doing?" The Second Madam was quite annoyed by this new Seventh Concubine.
She always pretends to be gentle and weak. The sisters haven't done anything to her, and they thought that since they are all sisters, they should get along well. Who knew that she would try to make things difficult for them in front of the commander.
Who could tolerate this?!
"Well, I heard mice making noises here, so I came here specifically to catch them!" Kyoko quickly came up with an excuse.
"That seventh concubine is quite bold, isn't she? Not afraid of being bitten by rats, she's crawling on the ground looking for them?" The second wife would believe her.
"I... I came in because I was worried! I'll go out now!" Kyoko quickly stood up, wanting to leave.
The second concubine blocked the doorway, saying, "Seventh concubine, why are you more flustered than a rat? You don't look like you're looking for a rat, you look like a rat yourself!"
Who knows what this woman is thinking? When she first entered the mansion, the second concubine saw that she was pretty and immediately wanted to dress her up.
She specially made a dress for Xingzi and gave it to her, but who knew what Xingzi would say.
"Second sister, my skin is too delicate to wear this kind of dress!"
To hell with her! She complains about the fabric her mother used to make her clothes? Bullshit! She used only the best fabrics. The second concubine's desire for peaceful coexistence shattered instantly.
She coughed, and the First Madam had someone stew a bowl of pear soup for her.
She actually told the maid that she wouldn't eat food meant for servants!
At that time, the second concubine wanted to pour the pear soup over her head!
The third wife loved reading, so she gave her one of the books they usually read.
She actually said that this was outdated and that women should consider their husbands as their home, trying to put a bad word about them in front of the warlord. Fortunately, the warlord didn't care at all.
From then on, when the other ladies sent her gifts, they either complained that the gifts were too cheap and she didn't like them, or they secretly complained to the Marshal, implying that they weren't devoted to him.
The second wife grew angrier the more she thought about it, and immediately decided to tell the commander-in-chief about it.
"Hmph, trespassing into the commander-in-chief's study, just you wait and see how the commander-in-chief deals with you." After saying that, he ignored the other party.
She turned and went into the shop to tell her sisters about it, warning them to be wary of this seventh concubine.
Kyoko Murakami was secretly anxious. If the warlord found out that she was rummaging through the study, she would definitely be in trouble.
Her eyes lit up, and a plan came to her.
When everyone gathered together that evening, the second wife recounted what she had seen and heard, and the general frowned deeply.
Everyone in the manor knew that the study was actually where the commander-in-chief slept, and there was nothing else in it, but the commander-in-chief was still unhappy that someone had entered without permission.
Murakami Kyoko's face immediately filled with tears of grievance: "General, Second Sister misunderstood me. I really did hear the sound of mice before I went in to check. I was worried about your safety, so I searched carefully."
The general was skeptical upon hearing this.
Hu Die also frowned. What Murakami Kyoko said was completely unbelievable. She had also seen the other party sneaking into the Marshal's study.
However, she figured there wasn't much in the study, so she didn't think much of it.
Now it seems that Murakami Kyoko is looking for something in the study.
Thinking of Lin Liuyi's words, Hu Die decided to secretly investigate Murakami Kyoko first.
