Yang Ruxin didn’t say anything more and turned around to enter the house.
Chai Qin’s eyes flickered, and she hurriedly followed to serve.
Gu Qingheng let out a breath. He had said so, his wife wasn’t an unreasonable person, and he too quickly followed into the room to personally help his wife wash up.
Yang Ruxin patted Gu Qingheng’s cheek, "Good boy, you rest. I’ll go cook." Then she took Chai Qin to the kitchen.
The old n had been eating bought als these days and were already tired of them. Today, they had to treat everyone well.
There was a small kitchen in the Bamboo Garden, which could be used with a little Silver, and the inn also provided so ingredients. Yang Ruxin mixed in so ingredients from her space, enough for everyone to eat.
Chai Qin was helping Yang Ruxin, but occasionally stole glances at her, looking conflicted.
"If you have sothing to say, just say it." Yang Ruxin was making fish balls and didn’t even lift her head. "The way you’re acting makes uncomfortable."
"Madam." Chai Qin knew she shouldn’t speak out, but she couldn’t hold back, "Back when the old madam was still alive..."
"Chai Qin." Yang Ruxin looked up, "Do you know why I kept you by my side?" She directly interrupted Chai Qin.
Chai Qin was taken aback.
"It’s because of my mother-in-law whom I’ve never t, the old madam you all ntion." Yang Ruxin put the last fish ball into the water and stirred it with a Collander, "You were chosen by mother-in-law, and later, you even disregarded life and death for my husband. When I heard about it back then, I thought if you were still alive and if I had the ability, I would make sure you lived well in the future. But alas... your obsessions run too deep."
Chai Qin lowered her gaze.
"You’re a smart person, at least smarter than Chai Huan," Yang Ruxin smiled, "But, are you truly smart?"
Chai Qin frowned.
"I just want to ask, even if I agree for you to be a concubine for the young master, do you think you’ll be happy?" Yang Ruxin chuckled, "So many tragedies in the world are caused by unfaithful n, right? For example, if Gu Sheng hadn’t favored his concubines over his wife, would your madam have died? Would your young master have t with those misfortunes?"
Chai Qin swallowed, "Madam, I..."
"A harmonious family leads to prosperity, but when several won are fighting over one man, do you think there can be harmony?" Yang Ruxin sneered, "Instead of scheming against those won every day, I’d rather use my energy to do so business and earn so Silver. So, to avoid unnecessary worries, and also to prevent my children from living in jealousy or being hard in the future, I won’t allow my husband to take concubines."
"But n having three wives and four concubines is perfectly normal, madam, I don’t seek to compete, I only ask for..."
"Maybe you’re thinking of not competing now, but what about in the future? Especially if you have children, can you still say you won’t compete? Chai Qin, human desires are endless," Yang Ruxin interrupted her again, "When you’re hungry, you just want a bun, but when you can eat buns every day, you’ll start thinking about having so at..."
Chai Qin bit her lip.
"I know what you’re thinking, because the way you secretly look at my man disgusts , you even hide outside our room at night," Yang Ruxin laughed, "But I’m still willing to give you a chance, because I know I have a soft heart, but that’s only because you haven’t crossed my bottom line yet."
