Concubine - Chapter Twenty-Three: A Family of Male Thieves and Female Prostitutes

page views:1 Publication date:2023-04-15

The concubine was in a good mood, which both maids noticed.
She has been like this ever since Concubine Zhou and Concubine Han left yesterday. Unlike her usual listless self, she even ate an extra half bowl of sweet porridge for breakfast.
That afternoon, the princess's personal maid suddenly came to summon them.
Chu rarely summoned them, so this sudden urgency was puzzling.
When they arrived at Yusheng Garden, Consort Chen, who lived nearby, had already arrived. The Princess was not feeling well; she covered her lips with her handkerchief and sat listlessly on a hat chair. Next to the Princess sat a woman whom Hua Jin did not recognize.
However, upon entering, Hua Jin saw Yu Jia, who shouldn't be there.
Without any hesitation, she sat down awkwardly in the rose chair.
"Concubine Hua, do you recognize this Miss Yu from the Provincial Administration Commission?" the Princess asked, pointing to Yu Jia sitting to her left.
Hua Jin stood up, supporting herself on the armrest, and bowed, saying, "Of course I recognize you. I used to be a maid in Miss Yu's room."
Chu Yujing didn't want her to agree so readily, but since the other party had already come to her door, she couldn't just stop asking. Although she looked down on Hua Jin, she had no grudges against her. She glanced indifferently at the concubines who were watching the show.
“Miss Yu just told me something, which is why I called you here to ask her about it. Why don’t you two talk first?” He then turned to the woman beside him and said, “Madam Yao, what do you think?”
Madam Yao smiled and said, "It was my fault for rudely disturbing Your Highness, so I will naturally follow Your Highness's wishes."
Upon hearing this, Hua Jin looked at Yu Jia beside her and asked, "Does Miss have something to say to me?"
Yu Jia looked troubled, sighed deeply, and then looked at Hua Jin with a sorrowful expression, saying, "Hua Jin, you've been in the Yu family for two years, how have I treated you?"
"Miss treats me very well." As for the maid, Yu Jia indeed treated her well.
“Then you…” Yu Jia paused, “Your mother is kind-hearted and arranged for you to marry Wu An, intending for you to live a good life. But yesterday, I asked Wu An and learned that his wife has been missing for more than half a year.”
Suzhou is not far from Ganzhou, but it takes about half a day to get there.
These words caused an uproar in the room.
Han blurted out, "If that's the case, then wouldn't Your Highness..."
She became someone else's wife, a turtle and a tortoise.
The princess glared at her, and Han fell silent instantly, but when she looked at Hua Jin, she couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Hua Jin twirled the gold-threaded floral bracelet on her wrist. The young woman was delicate all over, but her hands, despite being well-cared for, were still rough. She said sarcastically, "Truly kind-hearted."
"Hua Jin, what Miss Yu just said..." Chu Yujing coughed a few times, somewhat regretting meeting the Yao family members today. She was now caught in a dilemma, unable to say anything.
“That’s true,” Hua Jin said coldly.
With just this one sentence, all the usual flirtatious banter and coquettishness vanished from the young woman's face. Suddenly, she stood there straight, dressed in such gaudy clothes, glaring at everyone. Even the strictest governess could not find fault with her demeanor.
Chu Yujing was in a daze for a moment.
However, the next moment, Hua Jin laughed lightly twice. The woman put one hand on her hip and pointed at Yu Jia with the other, cursing, "Pah! A whole family of thieves and prostitutes! Your mother is kind-hearted, why didn't she let you marry Wu An, that crippled scoundrel? And your father, what a hypocrite! He even wants to lay a hand on the maid in his own daughter's room, and you have the nerve to say that now!"
Madam Yao and Yu Jia's expressions changed repeatedly.
"Hua Jin!" the princess scolded softly.
Hua Jin simply straightened her sleeves and bowed slightly, saying, "It was I who overstepped my bounds."
He casually plopped back down in the rose chair.
Hua Jin showed no embarrassment or panic at being exposed, and no one could understand what she meant.
The princess coughed again, had her maid massage her head, and said to Madam Yao, "Let's not discuss this matter since the aggrieved party hasn't arrived yet. After all, Madam Hua is the prince's person. Since the prince is not in the manor now, we might as well wait until he returns before making a decision."
She looked exhausted, so Madam Yao and Yu Jia didn't say anything more.
"Then what about the Hua family?"
"I will take good care of it." Chu Yujing turned to Gu Mama and instructed, "Go and ask Steward Yang when the Prince will return."
