Liang Wanru was too embarrassed to stay any longer and ran out wiping her tears.
Mrs. Liang was so ashamed that she left angrily.
Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and she ordered An Qi'en: "Qi'en, send them away quickly."
"Yes, mother."
Although she said so, she knew in her heart that letting the Liang family mother and daughter go was not an easy matter.
With all the commotion, it was getting dark. Liang and her daughter would definitely not be able to leave at night, so they would have to wait until early tomorrow morning.
An Qien returned to Qiushui Residence and the maid brought dinner. When she saw that there was no chicken soup or chicken, she immediately asked Bai Lu: "Where is the chicken soup and chicken?"
Bai Lu reminded her: "Madam, there is only the last chicken left. I can't explain it to the old lady after eating."
An Qi'en was in a good mood and said calmly: "Go ahead and kill him. I want to eat braised chicken. Please tell the kitchen to cook it."
Bai Lu was still thinking about something, but Qingbi winked at her: "Haven't you noticed yet? The old lady is trying to humiliate my wife. How many days has that hen laid an egg?"
Bai Lu suddenly realized it, and her little face suddenly became angry: "This old lady is really doing it in front of her face and behind her back. She actually came up with such a disgusting method. I will kill you right away!"
Qingbi: "My slave, please relax your body."
After saying that, Qingbi massaged An Qien's shoulders.
An hour later, the braised chicken was ready, and An Qien asked Qingbi to give another portion to Qingcui.
As soon as Qingbi left, Xiang Zhu came to the room, said, "Our aunt needs to recuperate," and took the chicken away.
There are hardships in living a green life. She originally wanted to tell An Qi'en, but An Qi'en was too busy dealing with the Liang family's mother and daughter.
She thought about enduring it for the time being so as not to upset An Qi'en too much.
.....
The weather was getting colder and colder. As soon as An Qien returned to his yard after greeting Mrs. Qiao, Wen Yuanju's servants came to report in a panic.
"Madam, please come to Wenyuanju and have a look. My cousin and the prince..."
It was hard for the maid to say it. She didn't need to finish her sentence before An Qi'en knew what it meant.
Her expression was calm, without any emotion, and she turned her head and told Qingbi: "Inform Aunt Shen."
Qingbi went to do the work with great joy in her heart.
When they arrived at Wenyuanju, Liang Wanru was on Qiao Jianghong's bed, and the two of them were wearing pajamas.
Mrs. Liang cried and cried: "Oh my God, how can I live and see people like this!"
Liang Wanru lowered his head and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.
Qiao Jianghong was upset that he didn't know why it had happened to this point.
Mrs. Liu also came. When she saw this scene, she was so angry that she wanted to hit him. In the end, she couldn't bear it and the slap hit her face.
"Why did I raise you, a bastard!"
In her heart, she was unwilling to let Liang Wanru become Qiao Jianghong's concubine, not because she was afraid of wronging Liang Wanru, but because she simply didn't like her.
Mrs. Liang looked like she had suffered a big loss and asked Mrs. Liu to explain: "Sister, what do you think we should do about this matter? We are just like a young girl. Our innocence is gone like this. How will we see anyone in the future."
Mrs. Liu hesitated: "Qi'en, what do you think we should do?"
An Qien: "Then give me a title, one more concubine is not much."
Mrs. Liu was surprised. It was decided so easily?
Shen Shuli just heard this and saw the two people on the bed again. The sourness in her heart came like a roaring wave.
An Qi'en caught a glimpse of Shen Shuli coming and fanned his nose.
Bai Lu was very discerning and quickly fanned An Qien, and said angrily: "What does it smell like? It stinks."
"That's right, it smells stinky, it seems to be the smell of night fragrance."
Everyone present frowned and fanned.
Shen Shuli smelled her body, and she frowned.
Mrs. Liu scolded her while fanning her: "After pouring out the night fragrance, you don't know how to change your clothes? You stink, why are you here to join in the fun!"
Shen Shuli lowered her head and bit her lip: "I'm wrong, I'll go back and change my clothes right now."
After saying that, she resigned.
Liang Wanru got off the bed and knelt in front of An Qien and Mrs. Liu: "Thank you, aunt and cousin."
Now that the matter has come to this, Mrs. Liu can't say anything, so she has no choice but to admit it!
An Qien: "You can live in Cunju Hall. The monthly salary is thirty taels a month. The food and clothing expenses are the same as Aunt Shen. Whatever is missing in the house, the maid will send it to you."
Madam Liang was dissatisfied and glanced at Madam Liu, wanting Madam Liu to say something. Madam Liu didn't want to have anything to do with Madam Liang anymore after hearing her instigation of being forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for a night, so she pretended not to see her.
Liang had no choice but to propose: "Three taels a month is too little to serve. I heard that Aunt Qingcui's monthly salary is five taels. She is just like Jiang Hong's cousin. If the two families are relatives, why can't they be compared to an outsider?"
An Qien looked calm: "Mother Liang is good at settling accounts. According to Mother Liang, what is the appropriate monthly salary for Aunt Liang?"
Mother Liang?
Mrs. Liang's expression changed. An Qi'en calling her this already showed that the concubine was not qualified to talk about relatives with the Hou Mansion!
Mrs. Liang glanced at Mrs. Liu again. Mrs. Liu immediately pretended to have a headache and held her head: "Oh, my old habit has happened again. Help me go back and lie down."
The two maids immediately helped Liu to leave.
Mrs. Liang hurriedly grabbed her: "Sister, you can't leave. You have to give us an explanation for this matter."
Mrs. Liu was entangled. She frowned and said as if she really had a headache: "Qi En is the mistress of the house and will explain to you. What she means is what the Hou Mansion means."
Mrs. Liang was not happy anymore, and threatened and pitifully said: "Sister, are you forcing us, mother and daughter, to report to the government?"
Madam Liu immediately became nervous. This was something that Madam Liang couldn't do.
She still pretended to have a headache: "What do you want me to explain to you?"
Qiao Jianghong couldn't sit still. The maid had already dressed him, and Liang Wanru had also put on clothes herself.
He said with an upright face: "I drank too much last night and I don't remember what happened to my cousin. Why did my aunt do something that would hurt the enemy a thousand times and hurt herself eight hundred? Did my aunt abandon the woman's reputation?"
Mrs. Liang heard what he wanted and was willing to take responsibility, so she said: "Nephew, my good nephew, if I were helpless, how could I take that step? You are the lord of the Hou Mansion. You have the final say on this matter. I believe you will not It’s your cousin’s fault.”
Qiao Jianghong: "Listen to Qi En, what she means is what I mean. This is the treatment for concubines, and the same treatment for my aunt when she reports to the official. Besides, my cousin knows how she came to my room last night."
Liang Wanru always lowered his head, his eyes red and twitching.
Mrs. Liang's face turned ugly: "You are really my good nephew. I think you are shameless for the Hou family. Anyway, mother and daughter are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes. I will give you a daughter as your concubine." Shit, this is how your palace treats your relatives so poorly."
An Qien told Bai Lu: "Check the bedding to see if the cousin girl is blushing."
