The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 330 3 Master's Defense Breaks

Shi Yao and Ji Yun thanked him and both stood up.

Seeing that the old lady was pleased, Shi Yao felt a little relieved. She stepped forward, poured a cup of herbal tea for the old lady, and said with a smile:

"Grandma loves me the most. She agreed to my impolite request. Grandma, please have some tea."

The lady had made her decision, so she stopped worrying and held the tea. As she warmed up, she asked, "Letting go of my concubine is not just a temporary idea, right? Have you ever thought about how your aunt will live after leaving the Shi family?"

In the past, the Ji family was not rich, but with the protection of the Shi family and the reputation of the Duke's Mansion, no one dared to bully them.

If she leaves the Shi family, how can Ji, a woman, survive?

She has her own family, but at her age, her family cannot benefit from the Shi family's support, so she gradually became indifferent to the Ji family and thought that she could not go back to her family.

Even if she goes back, she will probably not have a good life and will just have to marry again.

If her brother had a darker heart, he would probably have to jump into the fire pit again...

Thinking of this, the long-lost guilt of the lady once again surfaced in her heart. Isn't the Shi family a pit of fire?

Shi Yao sat beside her and said with a smile, "Auntie only gave birth to me, so she has to live with me. Thanks to the confidence given by my grandmother, I have a small fortune. I will buy a small house in the capital for Auntie first, hire a few people to serve her, and do some needlework to pass the time. From now on, Auntie will go wherever I go."

The lady suddenly realized that Shi Yao had this plan a long time ago, but there was no suitable opportunity.

Taking advantage of the arranged marriage to the Xie family, she made this request. Who in the Shi family would dare to refuse?

If they make a fuss and bring up what happened in the past, it will only be another loss of face for the Shi family.

This is a conspiracy.

The lady sighed inwardly, young girls always imagine the outside world to be too beautiful. How could life be easy after divorce or taking a concubine?

It is not easy for men to gain a foothold, let alone women.

The Xie family has made a fortune, so don’t they need to find a backer?

She will have to take care of him for two more years.

The lady nodded and said, "It's OK as long as you have a plan in mind."

Shi Yao stood up and pulled Ji Yun to sit down, and asked with concern: "Mother, why did you come to the capital? Didn't you agree to wait for my news and send someone to pick you up after I've settled down?"

Ji Yun glanced at the Madam and said, "The Third Master said that you are going to get married soon and are choosing a family. He asked me to come to Beijing to watch you get married. He also promised me a legitimate daughter. I didn't take these words to heart. I thought you wouldn't care about these things either.

I thought about it and realized that if I couldn't see you get married and see you well, I would be worried every day in Jinling, so I came back."

Shi Yao asked quietly: "He didn't bully you, did he?"

Ji Yun glared at her and said, "Nonsense! The Third Master and the Third Mistress are deeply in love and loving. They are educated gentlemen and would never do anything to bully a woman."

The lady thought that she was old and deaf, and did not hear anything, nor did she hear Shi Yao calling Ji Yun "A Niang".

Shi Yao observed A Niang carefully and saw that she looked calm. She thought that Shi Jian'an had at most threatened A Niang with her future and he probably didn't dare to let A Niang suffer. She felt a little relieved.

As he was talking, Shi Jianan came in hurriedly. As soon as he entered the room, he glanced coldly at Shi Yao and her daughter, then bowed to the lady and said, "Mother, what do you want me to do?"

The lady propped her head up with one hand, obviously not having enough energy. She said calmly, "Write a letter to release me. Go ahead. It's been more than ten years, and Yao girl has grown up. It's time to put an end to this matter."

Shi Jianan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said excitedly, "Mother! It's not that I have any feelings for Ji, but if Ji is released and remarried, it will damage the reputation of the second girl. She has a biological mother who was a concubine and remarried. How can the second girl hold her head up high in the future?"

Ji Yun sat there expressionless.

She is a concubine and has no right to speak in such occasions.

Since I had never expected Shi Jianan to behave like a decent person, I wasn't surprised to see him not speaking human language at this moment.

Shi Yao snorted coldly: "Now you remember to protect my reputation. Where were you when my second brother was destroying my reputation? What were you doing when my eldest sister was destroying my marriage?

You guys have ruined my reputation a long time ago! Since you were such a coward and a coward back then, don't come and play the role of a loving father now!

"Are you worried about my reputation or your own reputation? Don't you know? Don't use me as a raft. I won't fall for it!"

Shi Jian'an's face flushed red, and he pointed at her with trembling fingers: "Old lady, listen to how this girl spoke to me! Ji, you see, this is the good daughter you taught, and she dared to speak rudely to her own father!"

Ji was surprised that Shi Yao dared to confront her biological father like this. She sighed and said, "Please forgive me, Master. I am just a concubine. Seriously speaking, the Second Young Lady is still my master. How dare a servant like me discipline her master?"

The implication is that if Shi Yao's personality is bad today, it's all because of her biological father and stepmother who didn't educate her well.

Shi Yao felt heartbroken when she heard this. She wished her eyes could turn into knives and stab Shi Jianan a few times: "Mother, don't say that."

The lady was also heartbroken when she heard this.

Shi Ji'an turned his eyes away guiltily and said angrily, "Mother, have you learned the rules between mother and daughter?"

The lady was tired. Her son seemed to have lost his intelligence when he met Shi Yao and Ji Yun. Since he didn't want to let go of his concubine, he should have spoken nicely. The more he pointed out Ji Yun's faults, the more he couldn't keep her.

Where in the world is there such a good thing that you can get both face and substance?

"Since you despise Ji so much, then let her go. I called you here today, not to discuss things with you. If you don't obey my orders, you will be no different from Shi Yao, who you call unruly. Aunt Tang, bring me the four treasures of the study."

Aunt Tang was well prepared and immediately brought out the four treasures of the study.

Shi Jianan was so choked that he couldn't speak.

It’s all Shi Yao’s fault.

Clearly before he came, he wanted to say some soft words, reason with people, and keep Ji's family.

Aunt Tang spread out the rice paper and handed the brush dipped in ink to Shi Jianan.

Shi Jian'an was unable to continue writing. Rong had instructed that Ji should not be allowed to leave the house. If Ji left, who would stop Shi Yao if she went mad and exterminated her entire clan?

And secretly, he didn't want to let Ji go.

If his concubine ran away and the news got out, how would he face her?

Wasn't she living well in Jinling before? She had plenty of food and clothes, and now he specially brought her to the capital to live a good life of luxury. What was going on?

Are you still dreaming of becoming a wife?

He threatened with a serious face: "Ji, are you sure you want me to let go of my concubine? You should know that your parents are gone, and your brother and sister-in-law are not kind people. Aren't you afraid that they will sell you into a fire pit?"

Shi Yao stopped A Niang and sneered, "It's a 50-50 chance that my A Niang will end up in the fire pit in the future. Right now, she is 100% in the fire pit. Stop talking nonsense and write quickly."

Shi Jian'an's defense was broken instantly.

Shi Yao's words were tantamount to exposing the bad things he had done in the past.

He glared at Shi Yao angrily: "Why are you butting in when the elders are talking?"
