Chapter 38 The price of using her
"Will King Yin marry you as his concubine, or take you as his concubine?"

cough cough...

Xu Junluo was about to help Meng Xiaomei go back to rest, when he heard her words, he coughed so hard that his face turned red from coughing, when did Chu Yin say he was going to marry her?

After seeing Xu Junluo's reaction, Meng Xiaomei was even more worried, and while patting Xu Junluo on the back, she said: "Luo'er, although you are not young, your time with mother is too short, and mother is still reluctant to marry you... ...My Luo'er is so well-behaved and has suffered so much, so don't feel wronged. No matter what you say, you are the granddaughter of the Duke's mansion, and you cannot be a concubine. Even if you marry into a small family, it is better than a concubine."

I would rather be a poor man's wife than a concubine of an emperor.

Concubine, who can be beaten or scolded, her life is not in her own hands, and she still has to fight for favor every day, looking at the face of the eldest lady...

Meng Xiaomei has a cowardly personality and is often bullied by others, but those people still respect her as Madam on the surface and dare not do anything to her.

If she was a concubine, she might not live to this time.

She saw a lot of dark things in the big mansion. It was because of her poor health that the concubines in Xu's mansion lived comfortably. In other mansions, it was often reported that people died inexplicably.

When a concubine dies, no one cares.

Seeing Meng Xiaomei's serious expression, Xu Junluo rubbed his temples and said with a smile, "Don't worry, mother, I don't want to marry yet, I want to stay with you for a few more years."

"That's not okay, mother can't delay you, so..." As a mother, she is so contradictory. She wants her daughter to be with her, but she is afraid of delaying her marriage. When her daughter is married, she is reluctant to part with it.

Xu Junluo smiled helplessly, sent Meng Xiaomei back to her yard, closed the door and told about meeting Chu Yin.

She only said that she met the injured Chu Yin by accident, and because she had learned bandaging in the countryside and helped Chu Yin a bit, she would give her money and would not marry her at all.

After hearing Xu Junluo's words, Meng Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not that good. Although my mother doesn't go out, I have heard a little bit. The current crown prince is cowardly. The emperor doesn't like it. Sooner or later, the crown prince will be abolished. Only King Yi and King Yin can inherit the throne. The two brothers are not fighting for the position twice a day." God's matter, King Yin was assassinated today, it has something to do with King Yi."

"Whoever takes that position in the future, the other will not end well."

"Even if you bet right, the harem will be even more difficult..."

Meng Xiaomei looks cowardly, but it doesn't mean she doesn't understand. The Meng family is also a family of officials, and they know it well.

Because of this, she was unwilling to let Xu Junluo marry into Prince Yin's mansion.

Don't covet wealth and honor, but consider Xu Junluo completely.That's why Xu Junluo was willing to explain to her.

"I know mother, my daughter will definitely not marry into the royal family." Those few people... don't talk about marrying, they wish they could stay far away.

After receiving Xu Junluo's promise, Meng Xiaomei smiled, as if thinking of something, a little calculation flashed in her eyes, and said to Xu Junluo: "Mother believes in you, but don't tell outsiders, especially your father. You keep the 1000 taels of silver, and tomorrow my mother will pay 5000 taels of silver, and I will buy you the jewelry first."

"..."

Hearing this, the corners of Xu Junluo's mouth twitched. He thought this mother was a simple little white flower, but she didn't expect to be scheming...

"Okay! Let's buy it together."

The cost of using her is not that small!

The mother and daughter chatted happily for a while, and when she was about to leave, Meng Xiaomei hesitated for a long time and sighed: "General Qin and I are a perfect match, but it's a pity..."
