Chapter 78
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
How could General Yu know the careful thoughts of women? Seeing Concubine Mei’s smile, he couldn’t help but sigh: “If that poisonous woman is half as virtuous as you, I will be relieved.”
Concubine Mei looked cute and helpless. She tidied General Yu’s robe and belt, and smiled, and said, “The master’s words are killing me. I just want the master to work less and enjoy more good fortune.”
General Yu didn’t notice Concubine Mei’s tone. He put down the teacup in his hand and said, “Well then, I’ll go over and take a look.”
Concubine Mei said, “Master should come back earlier. I cooked chicken and mushroom soup especially for the master, and he will be able to eat it in an hour.”
The two of them said a few words, and General Yu got up and went to Mu s.h.i.+’s courtyard.
Looking at General Yu’s back, the gentle smile on Concubine Mei’s face gradually disappeared. She called a personal maid and ordered: “Go and ask what the lady is telling the master to discuss.”
…
As soon as General Yu entered Mu s.h.i.+’s room, the strong smell of medicine a.s.saulted his nostrils.
It’s no wonder that from the night she wanted Yu Linglong to use refined scorpion blood, she had been hurting continuously. She had no injuries for two or three days. Finally, she realized that she was going to avoid Yu Linglong, and General Yu whipped her again.
The bitter Mu s.h.i.+, who was over forty years old, still had to suffer such a crime. For most of these days, she was lying in bed, accompanied by tisane. After a long time, her whole body was filled with a strong smell of tisane from head to toe. What a dreadfully cruel word it was.
At this time, she was wearing only a middle coat, with her hair loosely rolled up, and a circle of dark blue draped around her forehead made her look gray and dejected.
Seeing General Yu entering the room, Mu s.h.i.+ tried to rise out of the bed and wanted to get up: “Master, you are here.”
Seeing her like this, General Yu couldn’t help turning his eyes in disgust, and his tone was very impatient: “What’s the matter?”
What an invalid. Where was Concubine Mei who was so beautiful and lovely that even looking at her felt superfluous?
Mu s.h.i.+ also knew that her appearance was unwelcome. She was afraid that General Yu would not stay longer for a moment, so she tactfully did not ask for his wellbeing, but went straight to the subject: “Next month will be the day that Brother Wu gets married. I want to discuss with the master, what should I do about this?”
After all, Yu Weiwu was the eldest son of the Yu household, and if the marriage was not done well, he would lose face for the Yu household.
General Yu said, “You are in charge of these things, so you can take care of them.”
Seeing that General Yu was so unconcerned about his son’s marriage, Mu s.h.i.+ almost shed tears. After thinking about it, she held it back again. This man even whipped his own daughter when she said a few wrong words, so how could he be attentive to such small things.
Mu s.h.i.+ coughed a few times and said, “Then you have to make a decision about who to invite.”
General Yu was a little impatient: “Do you still have to ask me? Everyone you know will be invited.”
Mu s.h.i.+’s words were not good. He felt that talking about these family matters with General Yu was like playing an instrument, and dealing with any problems was straightforward and simple. If it was so easy, does she still need to discuss it with him?
After so many years, Mu s.h.i.+ had gotten used to it. She did everything in the family, and General Yu didn’t care. If she made a mistake, it would all fall on her.
General Yu frowned. “Is there anything else? I’m leaving now.”
He really didn’t want to stay any longer in this medicinal room.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Mu s.h.i.+ took out a letter from the pillow and said, “This is a letter sent from the mountain by the old lady, please read it.”
