Chapter 850 Rejection
The Second Concubine?
Chu Tian wondered whether she would ask him for anything?
He had entrusted his wife to deal with the women in the backyard, and the concubines would always turn to his wife for help, not to him.
Chu Tian frowned.
What an irritating thing!
However, since the pageboy claimed that it was an important matter, he was still feeling quite worried that something unexpected had happened. He answered. “Let her in.”
Only then did the pageboy pass on the message.
Soon, the Second Concubine walked in.
The Second Concubine was not very young any more, but she still liked putting on very heavy makeup.
Chu Tian frowned. He showed no interest in how she was dressed. He had no major interest in women, it had been Madame Chu who made him marry so many concubines. For him, those concubines were all the same. And he only showed respect to his wife.
Therefore, Chu Tian did not show much delight in seeing the Second Concubine, and asked straightforwardly, “Just say it.”
“Old Master, it is about Yerong’s marriage,” the Second Concubine said happily.
Chu Yerong, namely the Second Lady of the Chu Family, was addressed in this way because she had an Elder Miss above her.
Hearing that it was about Yerong’s marriage… Chu Tian became even less pleased.
He thought that it was something major which had to be told to him, but it was just the marriage of the concubine’s daughter! What a delay for his business. He remembered that Yerong was old enough to get married, but…
“You should speak with Mrs. Chu regarding Yerong’s marriage, not me. You have been in the mansion for so long, so haven’t you understood the rules of the mansion? I am in charge of the court business, whilst Mrs. Chu is in charge of family affairs!” Chu Tian said, starting to snap.
The Chu Family was an official family in the capital, which had rules. Everyone should follow the rules.
The reason why there was a wife was because the wife was normally in charge of family business in the mansion. That was something Chu Tian left his wife to do with full trust.
He had never allowed anyone to leap over the boundary.
He believed that his wife should teach the Second Concubine a lesson and give her a punishment, so that she could keep what she had done wrong in mind.
He said to the pageboy next to him. “Get Mrs. Chu here.”
Hearing that Mrs. Chu was asked for, the Second Concubine said with a sad face. “Old Master, Mrs. Chu already rejected my proposal.”
“Yerong is a concubine’s daughter, but she has already found such a great suitor, so I hope that Yerong is able to marry that family. You can’t possibly wait until Elder Miss finds her suitor so that Yerong misses her best life, right? Mrs. Chu is over the top. She turned down the proposal directly. I feel that Yerong has experienced sadness, so I came to you for help. Old Master, please,” the Second Concubine said as she cried.
Chu Tian looked at Chu Yu in surprise – that was unexpected.
Mrs. Chu was a strict person, but she was always just.
“Which family did Mrs. Chu turn down?” Chu Tian asked.
