A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1399 - 1397: Misunderstanding

"He thinks I married into this family as a wife, the family matriarch, the lady managing the rear courtyard!"

"And not..."

"Ridiculous!" Yue Er cursed angrily again.

Yilan didn’t say anything more, after thinking for a while, she bitterly smiled.

"When you think about it!"

"This type of person is usually quite rigid, yet he also thinks he’s always right, immersed in his own world and unwilling to change!"

"I assume...there’s probably no one who can make him change his mind!"

"Alright!"

Yue Er waved her hand.

"Stop analyzing him, and think about what to do first!"

Yilan exhaled a long breath.

"What to do?"

"Weren’t they childhood sweethearts destined for each other?"

"Then I’ll proactively give him a concubine!"

"He may have no shame, but I have it!"

Yue Er felt a bit sorry for her but ultimately didn’t say anything more.

’Considering Yilan’s perspective, this solution is indeed the best option for now!’

"However..."

Yue Er reminded her.

"When the day of accepting a concubine finally arrives, you should have your own plan in mind!"

"This kind of man should absolutely never be kept!"

"Even if he changes his heart, it’s not allowed!"

"Got it!"

Yilan exhaled deeply, looking relieved.

"Isn’t it rather good this way?"

"I heard Wei Yu’s mother also wants to find a match for her; she’s adamantly refusing, claiming she’ll never marry in this lifetime!"

"She said if anyone dares to force her, she’ll cut her hair and become a nun!"

"Aunt Chen is extremely upset, but when I think about it now, I quite admire her!"

"Getting married isn’t that great!"

"If I ever need a divorce, I’ll join her and become a nun together!"

Yue Er gave her a pat with a smile.

"Even though what you said is quite absurd, at least you have some courage!"

"I was wrong earlier!"

"I only saw your concessions and didn’t see your difficulties!"

"After all, Prince He Mansion is a prince’s mansion, and your uncle and aunt hold extremely high prestige in the Capital City! You are also a County Princess!"

"With status and position, you simply cannot act recklessly!"

"But before, when you were with me and us three, you made quite a public scene!"

"If you start causing troubles immediately after getting married!"

"People in the Capital City won’t blame the Nan Family; they’ll only say you are wrong!"

"It might even implicate your uncle and aunt!"

Yilan waved her hand.

"Forget it, let’s not talk about this!"

"It’s getting late, we should head back!"

"Alright!"

...

After sending Yue Er off, Yilan directly took a carriage back.

First, she returned to her residence to change clothes, then she took her maid to Lady Hou’s courtyard.

The ritual of morning and evening greetings cannot be skipped.

Lady Hou was just about to have dinner.

Seeing her come, she happily invited her to sit.

"Lanlan has come over, haven’t I told you there are no such rules in our mansion?"

"Your health is important, you should rest more!"

Yilan slightly pulled the corners of her mouth.

"It’s alright, mother!"

"These are my duties!"

According to custom, Yilan was conferred the title of County Princess by the Emperor, although not as high as a Princess or Commandery Princess, she had her own estate and stipend.

She didn’t need to follow the morning and evening greeting rituals like ordinary wives.

But Lady of Marquis Pingan was a very understanding and kind woman, treating Yilan like her own daughter from the day she married over.

Yilan sincerely respected her, and didn’t want to vent anger; she treated her respectfully as a matter of course.

Seeing her so sensible, Lady Hou smiled.

"Child!"

She asked.

"I heard you went to the plum blossom grove outside with the Princess, I know Zeze also went, did you run into each other?"

"Did you come back together?"

Yilan was worried about how to start the conversation, hearing Lady Hou’s question was just perfect.

Immediately, she smiled and said.

"We ran into each other!"

"However..."

She smiled.

"I met another younger sister! Although I only met her once, I instantly took a liking to her!"

"Younger sister? Who?" Lady Hou asked, puzzled.

For some reason, she had an ominous feeling.

"According to my husband, it’s...Miss Tan!"

Lady Hou felt a pang in her heart, her facial expression froze.

"Biluo? Are you talking about Biluo?"

Yilan nodded.

Lady Hou’s complexion turned somewhat unsightly, somewhat conflicted.

After a long while, she finally held Yilan’s hand and said.

"Good child, you’ve been wronged!"

"But don’t worry, I will definitely not agree!"

Yilan quickly shook her head.

"No!"

"Mother, please don’t say that!"

"When I met Miss Tan today, I really liked her!"

"I’ve never met such a gentle lady..."

Enduring her disgust, Yilan praised Tan Biluo profusely.

Finally, after embellishing her with glowing remarks, she presented her request.

"Since they like each other, I might as well boldly discuss with mother about accepting her as a concubine for my husband?"

Lady Hou’s expression became a bit odd.

"Child, you don’t understand..."

Yilan was a bit confused.

Lady Hou contemplated for a moment and had no choice but to speak frankly.

"You don’t know!"

"I’m unaware of Zeze’s feelings towards her!"

"But her unrequited love for Zeze, that I have long heard!"

"Originally, when we were matchmaking for Zeze, Marquis Hou favored her! He wanted to tie the knot with the Tan Family, desiring kinship on top of kinship!"

"However..."

Lady Hou hesitated for a moment but finally disclosed the truth.

"I still have reservations about her origin!"

"She’s not of the legitimate line, even if she’s been raised by the legitimate mother for years, she’s still not considered legitimate!"

"I insisted on disagreeing, and even quarreled with the Lord about it!"

"Afterwards..."

"There was the marriage proposal from Prince He Mansion!"

Lady Hou comfortingly held Yilan’s hand.

"Good child, you have been wronged!"

"But to speak honestly with you, she only has unrequited feelings for Zeze, as for Zeze’s feelings towards her..."

She truly hadn’t heard a thing!

Yilan smiled sweetly.

"Mother, don’t worry, it indeed is my duty as a wife!"

"Sooner or later, since I encountered them today in the countryside, if I don’t take a stand, I’m afraid it would be inappropriate!"

Yilan continued.

"I don’t want to be labeled as a jealous woman!"

Lady Hou saw she was determined, so she started contemplating.

"Firstly, concerning her status!"

"Miss Tan being a daughter of a concubine has the qualification to marry as a concubine!"

"Secondly, regarding the emotional aspect, I had a row with the Lord over this matter back in the days, I do feel somewhat guilty!"

"Accepting her as a concubine could also compensate for my regrets!"

"Furthermore...what Yilan said makes sense!"

"If Zeze is indeed meeting Tan Biluo and strolling through the plum blossom grove, if she doesn’t express a stance..."

Deliberating thoroughly, Lady Hou finally deemed the matter feasible.

She nodded immediately.

Yilan was also very pleased.

"Since mother is willing, let’s settle this matter!"

"I’ll personally arrange for someone to discuss this with the Tan Family!"

Becoming a concubine doesn’t require any ceremonial etiquette, nor does it need three matchmakers and six etiquette.

As long as both families are agreeable, some silver and a small sedan chair will suffice to bring her over!
