Reborn Lady - Chapter 270

The steward informed him of the choice of the side concubines.

Knowing who they were, Wei Yan nodded and went to see Ji Xianxian.

Ji Xianxian was resting on the couch in the second room, and when she saw him, she shot him a glare first.

The maids stepped back tactfully, and when they were gone, Wei Yan moved to Ji Xianxian’s side, hugging her and said, “Who are the side concubines? They are all concubines. In terms of status, they can’t surpass you.”

Ji Xianxian said sarcastically, “I am still a bit pretty now, so you are still willing to coax me with sweet words. When I get old in a few years, you will not even care about coaxing me.”

Wei Yan denied her words, “That’s impossible. You get old and I’ll be old too. We’ve been married for so many years. I won’t neglect you at any time.”

Ji Xianxian still didn’t get up.

Wei Yan tried his best to make his wife happy and finally rolled around on the bed in the inner room. Ji Xianxian felt better and leaned lazily in his arms, asking about the Shu Mansion, “This is what the Third Sister-in-law said. Could it be that the Third Master really refused the side concubines?”

Wei Yan knew the inside story. At first, Concubine Wen Shun in the palace revealed it in front of his mother, who couldn’t believe it and asked him to go and figure out what the Third Brother was thinking.

Wei Yan thought that the Third Brother had no complicated ideas. That kid had been cold since he was a child. In the past, he deliberately took him to watch the singers. In the end, he couldn’t bear the charming fragrance of makeup and powder, and his brows were furrowed. His face got ugly, as if the singers were all painted with excrement, and they left after a while.

However, he was afraid to tell Ji Xianxian earlier; she would act like a baby and ask him to reject his father. So, Wei Yan kept silent. The first reason was that he wanted side concubines, both in public and in private. Another reason was that even if he didn’t want them, he didn’t dare to speak in front of his father. Facing the Emperor’s potential anger, Wei Yan lacked the courage. After all, the Fourth Brother hesitated at first but was scolded by their father.

“He did refuse it,” Wei Yan said simply.

The news had been confirmed, and Ji Xianxian felt as sour as eating a green orange (jealous). She considered herself much nobler than Yin Hui but was troubled with the idea of her husband having side concubines. In contrast, Yin Hui could enjoy the exclusive favor of a man. If Yin Hui was the most beautiful in the world, Ji Xianxian might not complain, but her beauty was not inferior to Yin Hui’s.

Feeling sour, Ji Xianxian suddenly grabbed Wei Yan’s ear with one hand, twisted it, and said, “Am I not as beautiful as the Third Sister-in-law? Why don’t you treat me like that? If everyone got side concubines, I wouldn’t care anymore, but Yin Hui is different!”

Wei Yan was in so much pain that he begged for mercy and explained, “You are beautiful! You are more beautiful than her! The problem is not about which of you is more beautiful, but just that the Third Brother is abnormal. Concubine… Hey, that’s not what I meant!”

While the couple were messing around on the bed, Wei Luo also came back from the Ministry of Punishment.

That day, he looked through the files all day, but he had no clue about the case to be handled, so he was not in a good mood.

After wiping and changing into regular clothes, Wei Luo breathed a sigh of relief and went to the back house to see the children.

There was nothing unusual about the children, but it was Madam Yin who wore a pair of peach-pink gowns that she had never worn before, looking fresh and delicate, as if she were newly married.

It was only March, and she was wearing so little.

As night fell, the children all went back to their room to rest. Wei Luo followed Yin Hui into the inner room, turned around, and grabbed her wrist.

Yin Hui looked at him in surprise.

Wei Luo picked up the thin layer of clothing material and said disapprovingly, “Change your clothes or you’ll catch a cold.” 

The daytime was indeed warm, but it was still a bit chilly in the morning and at night.

Yin Hui looked at his serious face and suddenly leaned into his arms, rubbing against his waist.

Wei Luo’s body froze.

Yin Hui raised her head and looked at him with bright eyes, saying, “I dressed up especially for you, do I look good?”

Wei Luo pursed his lips. If he complimented her for looking good, she might dare to wear even thinner clothes the next day.

Afraid that he would not understand, Yin Hui raised the corners of her lips and said, “The decree to give marriage and side concubines to the princes has been delivered.”

Wei Luo suddenly understood why she deliberately dressed up and stretched out his hand to hug her.

Yin Hui hooked his neck with both hands and looked, saying, “Other princes have fresh beauties in the house, but you don’t have any. Do you really not regret it?”

Wei Luo asked back, “If I go back on it, what will you do?”

Yin Hui bit her lip and snorted, “Then I will give all the new clothes to my sisters and continue to wear the old ones. Anyway, you don’t like them.”

There were no servants in the room, so Yin Hui displayed a sour and coquettish attitude.

Wei Luo had his lovely wife in his arms, and the case of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was forgotten by him.

Feeling his growing interest, Yin Hui silently sighed in her heart.

No matter what happens in the future, at least at that moment, they were truly in love, even though he didn’t accept side concubines, it had nothing to do with her at all.
