MTL - After Giving Way To My Husband’s Sweetheart

Chapter 10: Leave Sima’s house

Love got rewarded on the third day after giving the embroidery to Nanny Xu. When Nanny Xu handed a small bag of broken silver to Love, Love, who had been depressed for many days, finally showed a smile.

Such a small amount of silver was not enough for Love to buy half a small box of rouge in the past, but for her in the current situation, this small amount of silver allowed her to see the way forward and hope.

The weather was gradually getting warmer. On the way back, the master and the servant passed by the waterside pavilion. Love saw a few snow-white swans falling on the water. They were in a good mood today, so the three of them sat in the waterside pavilion and rested on the railing.

Lantian couldn't help but pour out the broken silver from his purse and counted it bit by bit. Yu Nuan stood aside, with stars in his eyes.

The three masters and servants were enjoying themselves here when they suddenly heard a melodious sound of the piano. The three of them followed the sound and saw among the flowers not far away, the one called Rouji was playing the piano.

Sima Chao, who never liked singing and dancing, was sitting in front of her, listening with interest and looking very intoxicated.

Yu Nuan looked at the two of them and murmured in a low voice: "They look so charming."

Lan Tian was still brooding over the fact that Sima Chao wanted to punish her that day. She said with disdain: "I heard that the eldest son has been extremely fond of this concubine these days. He not only calls her to accompany him every day, but also gives her jewelry Lingluo's rewards are endless. He is just a low-born vixen. I never expected that the eldest son would be such a lecherous person."

Love glanced at Sima Chao and Na Meiji who were not far away, and said calmly: "Let's go."

After Love left with her maid, the gurgling sound of the piano that floated in the spring suddenly stopped. It was not that the girl's hand slipped, but that the person listening to the piano across from her suddenly withdrew and left.

Sima Chao returned to the study, and Chang Sui Shunxi followed him and said: "My eldest son, Mr. Zhang just sent a secret letter. There is a list of some rebellious ministers in it for you to keep an eye on."

Sima Chao said: "I understand." After saying that, he put the secret letter under the desk.

Shunxi replied: "Just now, General Xie sent me an invitation, saying that he is hosting a banquet in his mansion tonight, and I would like to invite you to attend the banquet."

Sima Chao replied: "If you go to push, just say that I have something to do tonight."

Shunxi saw Sima Chao's lack of interest, and he tentatively replied: "Also, the Prime Minister's Mansion just sent two more beauties over, do you want to meet them?"

Hearing this, Sima Chao smacked the table and said angrily: "What the hell, Meiji, get out of here."

Shunxi saw Sima Chao suddenly and unprovokedly angry again. He was so frightened that he shrank his neck and retreated quickly.

“Young Master, what’s wrong with you?” As soon as Shunxi left, Rouji walked in slowly.

Hearing the sound, Sima Chao raised his eyes and asked, "Who let you in?"

His face was cold and his tone was unkind.

Rou Ji blinked and replied aggrievedly: "The eldest young master was doing well just now, but my servants failed to serve me attentively. Did I make the eldest master unhappy?"

Sima Chao rubbed his eyebrows and replied calmly: "You're fine. I'm busy. You can go down now."

Seeing that Sima Chao refused to pay attention, Rou Ji wanted to act coquettishly in front of him, but when she saw the sinister look cast by Sima Chao, she reluctantly held back. Rou Ji slightly saluted Sima Chao, mercilessly Reluctantly withdrew.

After leaving the study, she still glanced inside unwillingly.

During the time she entered the mansion, Sima Chao was indeed very kind to her in terms of favor. He only saw her once and then promoted her to his concubine with a wave of his hand. This was a big deal for lowly women like them. Encounter. Although Rouji was happy, for some reason, she felt very uneasy.

Before Love arrived at Wangchun Hall, she saw her cousin Sima Chuge lingering at the entrance of her courtyard from a distance.

Love called her cousin's name and stepped forward. When Sima Chuge saw Love, he pulled her and started crying.

Love comforted her cousin, led her into the house, and asked with concern: "How could you come out?"

After her aunt was demoted to the side concubine, Sima Zhengren helped the daughter of the Xie family, the highest-ranking among the concubines, to become the main wife. This Xie family had always been at odds with Aunt Love. The children were treated harshly in every possible way, looking at them as if they were thieves, and would not allow them to leave the yard at ordinary times.

Sima Chuge twitched and replied: "I secretly ran out to look for you without telling my stepmother."

Love asked hurriedly: "But what happened?"

Sima Chuge cried and said: "Cousin, my father forced me to enter the palace and become a concubine."

The current emperor is over sixty years old. He is also ignorant and greedy for beauty. Not only are there many concubines in the harem, but it is also full of smoky atmosphere and intrigues. Entering the harem of the current emperor is like jumping into a pit of fire.

Luo Fu was surprised and said: "The Sima family already has a daughter who has entered the palace as a concubine and is in a high position. Why should I send you to the palace and waste your life in vain?"

In order to consolidate their status, aristocratic families will send their daughters to the palace. Sima Chao's sister Sima Chuyu has been in the palace for many years. Because of the Sima family, she is now a noble concubine. The Sima family wants to rely on nepotism. Sima Chuyu is enough to consolidate his position.

Sima Chuge wiped away tears and replied: "Father said that eldest sister has been trying to give birth to an heir all these years, so he wants me to enter the palace. Elder sister, what should I do?"

The Sima family is very ambitious. If the daughter of the Sima family gives birth to a prince, it will definitely be more beneficial for the Sima family to seize power.

Love thought for a moment and asked: "My aunt has already made plans for your marriage. She has always wanted to marry you to the young general of the Yongping Marquis Mansion. We are also related to the Yongping Marquis Mansion. I wonder if you know this. Something?"

Sima Chuge nodded when he heard this and said, "My mother told me about this. My cousin Zhou Shang from the Yongping Marquis Mansion and I are also in love, but I'm afraid we are destined to be destined to be separated in this life."

In her previous life, Sima Chuge entered the palace in the second year after she married Sima Chao. Love had never seen her since she entered the palace. Love only last heard that she was seriously ill in the palace. Every time she got sick, even people were injured. Can't recognize it. It can be seen that Sima Chuge's life after entering the palace in his previous life was also miserable.

Love said categorically: "You need to fight for fate. Since you two are in love, you and he should leave here and fly far away."

Hearing this, Sima Chuge looked at Love in disbelief and said in surprise: "Cousin, what are you talking about? As the daughter of the Sima family, how could I do such a thing?"

Love took Sima Chuge's hand and said to her slowly: "Since Sima doesn't care about you as a flesh and blood, why do you insist on it? If you enter the harem, your life will be ruined, even Sima Chu Yu has been in the palace for so many years. Although she looks beautiful on the surface, she is far from happy. If you don't plan for yourself, you will definitely end up miserable in that cruel palace in the future."

Which woman doesn't want to be with her sweetheart, and who is willing to waste her life in glory? Sima Chuge just doesn't have the courage.

After Sima Chuge heard Love's words, she stopped crying and replied calmly: "Cousin, please let me think about it carefully."
