Inside the martial arts gym.
Dozens of people in and out of the martial arts arena were all staring at this woman.
The woman's heart skipped a beat, her breathing became rapid, her voice trembled, and she looked panicked.
Within a moment, the scalps of the senior brothers and senior sisters were about to explode. They looked at each other solemnly and asked urgently: "How did she get in?"
"Who is looking at the gate today?"
Along with the buzzing noise, the woman's expression suddenly changed.
Mu Qingyun felt helpless. In fact, he could tell at a glance that this person shouted these words at this moment and here, more or less intentionally.
She just wanted to force Mu Qingyun to agree to her conditions in the martial arts hall and in public.
This little idea was clearly stated. She was afraid that she would be retaliated if she went to Mu Qingyun in private, so she just did it openly.
The only miscalculation was probably that she didn't understand Yuncheng Martial Arts School, nor Mu Qingyun and her senior brothers and sisters.
If Mu Qingyun really had an ulterior secret and a deep grudge against her, then what she was doing now was equivalent to sneaking directly into the enemy's base camp.
There was no need for Mu Qingyun to take action. Everyone present was very nervous at the moment. If something went wrong, they would definitely nip the danger in the bud as soon as possible.
Mu Qingyun couldn't help but sigh.
She vowed never to write those romantic scripts again.
If she writes even a little bit of bloody plot, she will go to the bathtub and suffocate herself to death.
Seeing that the woman's face was pale and she took several steps back, Mu Qingyun coughed and slowed down her voice: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly, senior sister, get a stool."
After saying that, she stood up and walked out slowly, and motioned to everyone not to stand still and practice as they should. At the same time, she invited this woman to sit down in the small courtyard.
Mu Qingyun asked someone to get a charcoal basin to keep warm, and said with a smile: "You are in a special situation now, so I won't treat you to food or tea."
"Relax, may I ask, what's your wife's name?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Mu Qingyun to be so kind. Her face turned red and she smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to take it. My name is Wang Mingzhu, and I am the concubine of the second young master of the Qi family in the north of the city."
There was a hint of reluctance and resignation on her face.
"Mingzhu knows his identity and accepts his fate, but ants still live in vain, let alone humans?"
Mu Qingyun quickly interrupted her: "Is this the Qi family? I don't know the Qi family."
Chen Yi was even less upset and muttered in a low voice: "This is all such a mess."
She had just been joking with Qingqing in private for a while, saying some private words that could not be heard by outsiders, when this man came to her door in such a frightening way, which made her panic.
Chen Yi squinted at Wang Mingzhu, and some martial arts about mind control flashed through his mind.
It's just that when it comes to mental control, those martial arts are very weird and difficult to practice, and she doesn't know how to do them.
If you think about it again, you don't actually need martial arts to control someone. There are many ways to make someone shut up and stop talking nonsense.
A mere weak woman, what are you afraid of what she will do!
Chen Yi, who was no longer worried, quickly went through the method of 'coercion and inducement' in his mind.
I thought about how the sect leader bullied me, uh, no, how to persuade others not to talk nonsense!
A storm surged in Chen Yi's mind, but Mu Qingyun and Wang Mingzhu looked at each other in shock.
The atmosphere was not as tense as expected.
Wang Mingzhu even made up her mind.
Before coming, she prepared for the worst, thinking that Miss Yue might even get angry and beat her up.
She was born in a farmer's family and had rough skin and thick flesh. Even though she was pregnant, she was not necessarily afraid of being beaten.
Looking now, Miss Yue is a good person.
This is the matter, I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle.
She would rather Miss Yue had a hot and impulsive temper.
Wang Mingzhu sighed in her heart and whispered: "The old lady said that the second young master of Qi and Miss Yue are well matched in both culture and martial arts, so they should be a good match. Miss Yue's mother only broke up because of her husband's concubinage. The young lady must also be someone who can’t get the sand out of her eyes.”
"To show respect for the lady, we concubines must be sent away."
Wang Mingzhu sighed, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I'm sent away. When my mother married me to Mr. Qi as a concubine, I thought I would just work for a few years so that I could save some dowry for myself and reduce the burden on my family. , I will still be able to live a good life after I leave the Qi family in the future."
Her face was sincere, and it was obvious that she really thought so.
Mu Qingyun's expression also showed no signs of strangeness, as if this was a normal situation.
Mu Qingyun didn't know the folk customs of this era before.
From what she knew, and from the information she had read, it was said that during this period, the customs became more and more enlightened. Marriage was monogamous, and concubines were not allowed. At least officials and scholars were not allowed to have concubines.
This is politically correct.
Control over women has also begun to relax, and girls can go out to study and work.
Of course, this is true on the surface, but in fact many people take women's reputation more seriously than before.
Every year, women still fall into the water, and for the sake of reputation, they refuse to let strangers rescue them.
But when Mu Qingyun truly entered this era and broke away from the written information, she was shocked to realize that most of the rules and regulations that later generations saw on paper were actually things that only the so-called upper class would abide by.
At least you have to be from a poor family to be qualified to consider these things.
Let's just say that Wang Mingzhu's plan seems to be an ordinary thing at the moment.
Isn't it now a court regulation that prohibits taking concubines? It is not allowed to buy slaves and have maidservants. Rich people just recognize her as an adopted daughter with a different name.
For a few years, there were frequent natural disasters and people's lives were very difficult. Girls from poor families who were born with fair heads and decent faces even thought that it would be a good thing to become a girl or concubine for a wealthy family.
After a few years, the novelty of the host's house wears off, and anyone who is not a particularly bad guy is willing to send away concubines who are past their prime.
Some mistresses are generous, or the serving masters are kind and willing to give an extra dowry.
This girl from a poor family goes to live in a wealthy family for a few years, where she is fed and drank well, and sometimes even learns a trade. After saving a dowry, when she returns home, she is the beautiful woman that the neighbors are vying for.
Why would they care if they had been concubines for a wealthy man?
Some middle-class families with good financial backgrounds are more willing to take concubines from other families than daughters from ordinary small families.
Those who have been concubines are more popular than those who have only been maids.
After all, being able to become a concubine means that her quality must be higher than that of ordinary maids.
Wang Mingzhu is obviously very rational. She has decided to take this path, so she doesn't care whether she is dismissed or not. If she is dismissed two years ago, she will save less money for a dowry.
"It was an accident that I got pregnant with this baby. When my husband, wife and son found out, they asked me to have the baby. I was a little hesitant at the time, but I didn't dare to fight because I was stopped."
Wang Mingzhu regretted it terribly, "If I abort her now, my life will be hard to save."
"Early this morning, the old lady went to get the medicine and asked Xiaozhen to cook it for me."
"Xiao Zhen and I are close. She heard what the doctor said. He said that drinking it for a month like mine would be too harmful to the body. I will definitely not be able to give birth again. Maybe my life will be at risk." (Wise House Chinese has no pop-ups, update. timely)
