Chapter 910: Concubines
Translator: Lonelytree
Wasn’t this a little too frank? I actually didn’t know how to accept it.
The mute girl poured tea for everyone and then stood behind me obediently.
Yang Yang took a sip of tea and went straight to the point. “I heard that you beat up Fang Jing?”
Zhao Mei looked at me with a smile.
I said calmly, “The news spread quite quickly?”
I was a little confused.
Yang Yang raised his eyebrows. “Heh, she cried and made a scene the moment she went back. Young master even got someone to send her a lot of gifts. How could we not know?”
These words were filled with jealousy.
I couldn’t help but smile.
“Miss Nanxing, please forgive us,” Zhao Mei said in a gentle manner.
“We live in the building behind. There are about twenty women like us. Does Miss Nanxing think that we’re all from poor families and have low birth?” She asked me.
I shrugged. What else could I do? However, I didn’t say it out loud. Their way of chatting attracted my attention. I was really interested.
Zhao Mei was someone who cared a lot about her ladylike temperament. She let out a melancholic sigh. “Although we aren’t from a wealthy family, we are all from rich families.”
“Then what are you doing here?” Isn’t she just a concubine? I thought about it for a long time, but in the end, I didn’t say it out loud.
“It’s because of benefits!” Yang Yang rushed to say it.
She’s really straightforward.
I nodded and looked at her. “Then don’t you like him?”
Because of the benefits, they were willing to be concubines and share a man with many women. I felt that this wasn’t transmigration but a cult.
Yang Yang sighed. “What’s the use of liking him? I like him, but he doesn’t like me either. Every woman here has a few glorious days when they come in, but unfortunately, they don’t last long. Young Master Dian isn’t someone who lasts forever.”
Yang Yang dragged out his words, feeling sad, helpless, and unwilling.
I looked at Zhao Mei.
In the end, Zhao Mei was more stable.
“The two of us, our family relied on young master Dian to make a fortune, so we can be considered gifts. In this peony garden, we can be considered to have the most ordinary status. For example, Miss Fang Jing, her family’s business has interacted with young master Dian’s, and they have supported each other. She can be considered to be used to form a marriage alliance, but young master will not marry her because her status is not noble enough.” Zhao Mei’s tone was calm and natural.
However, I was so shocked that I couldn’t control my expression.
I turned around and looked at the mute girl behind me. The mute girl nodded her head indifferently.
Oh My God!
Zhao Mei continued, “Does Miss Nanxing find it strange? Or are you looking down on us?”
I coughed. “I, I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand. How did you guys manage to coexist peacefully?”
Zhao Mei smiled. “Not everyone coexists peacefully. For example, Miss Fang Jing will never coexist peacefully with us. This is because she feels that only she is qualified to be young master’s woman. We are all unworthy. However, young master will not marry her, so she does whatever she wants every day. However, her family is very useful to young master. Therefore, even if she is a little domineering and bullies others, young master will not blame her. As for the others, they are probably like us, accepting their fate!”
“Accept your fate?” I was truly speechless.
Yang Yang snorted coldly. “What else can I do? No matter who I marry, I can’t guarantee that my husband won’t cheat. Won’t I have to spend my entire life fighting against those women in the open and in the dark? At the very least, everyone here is open. There’s no need to say who’s the mistress anymore. It’s rather fair.”
