The four people in the hall had their own thoughts, the room quietened all of a sudden, Zi Su raised her head to look at Ji Yu Qing's expression, remorse filled her eyes.
It was her fault, not only did she not complete the task her mistress had given her today, she had even been knocked unconscious by someone...recalling when she woke up and saw Xiao Yi Chen's face, the trace of guilt towards Ji Yu Qing instantly disappeared.
A maid who didn't want to raise her position was not a good maid, now such an opportunity had appeared in front of her she naturally had to seize it.
Finally it was Xiao Yi Chen who opened his mouth to break the silence: "Qing Er, this prince has decided to take Zi Su as a concubine, she will be your sister, you have no problem with that right?"
Ji Yu Qing's mind was rather muffled, it was like something had broken in her heart, she blinked, her eyes stung, at some point tears had begun flowing from her eyes, the Xiao Yi Chen in her sight was very fuzzy and not clear.
Ji Ling Xue blinked, somewhat shocked by Zi Su's good fortune, as for Xiao Yi Chen wanting to take a concubine she had no feeling at all.
Ji Yu Qing only found her voice after a while, forcing herself to smile she said: "Chen, you want to take Zi Su as concubine...very well, she is my personal maid, she's very sensible and considerate, I've wanted her to serve you for a long time...."
Having heard what was said Zi Su who was kneeling on the floor looked up at Ji Yu Qing, appreciation in her eyes, however Ji Yu Qing's gaze had already moved away, not willing to meet her eyes.
Xiao Yi Chen turned to Ji Ling Xue who looked like she was a bystander, "From today on, the residence's finances will be managed by the rightful princess."
JI Ling Xue pointed at herself, a little surprised, and a little confused.
Xiao Yi Chen nodded, giving her a look to say he would keep an eye on her, his expression towards JI Ling Xue was particularly serious.
JI Yu Qing had still not recovered from the pain of losing her personal maid, her management of the household had already fallen to Ji Ling Xue.
Ji Yu Qing twitched, she had just married into the prince's residence, and had already lost favour, how could she resign herself to this?
Ji Ling Xue made an oh sound: "You...you're not afraid I'll make a mistake?"
Xiao Yi Chen smiled: "The housekeeper will teach you."
Ji Ling Xue nodded: "Fine, I have nothing to do anyway, it's very good to manage the big and small expenses of the residence."
Xiao Yi Chen lips raised, and did not say anymore, he then looked at the sky outside the room: "The banquet is about to begin, let's go!" He stood up and walked out as he spoke, the three woman in the hall respectfully followed him with their eyes.
Knowing Ji Yu Qing had something she wanted to say to Zi Su, Ji Ling Xue tactfully caught up with Xiao Yi Chen.
Xiao Yi Chen walked ahead, seeing Ji Ling Xue was following, he opened his mouth to ask: "I've taken Zi Su, you're not happy?"
Ji Ling Xue raised her head to look at Xiao Yi Chen with a foolish expression, "She's only a concubine, as long as prince wants, a hundred would be no problem, I'm only worried..."
Xiao Yi Chen raised his eyebrow asking: "Worried about what?"
Ji Ling Xue smiled saying, "I'm worried prince's waist isn't good, I'll get the kitchen to cook some bull's pizzle as supplement when we get back..."
Xiao Yi Chen's face blackened, he didn't know whether to laugh or get angry.
Ji Ling Xue wagged her finger: "Prince had a joyous occasion today, you ought to give a red envelope in celebration."
Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, "Ji Ling Xue you dare ask!" He had merely taken a concubine, why should he give Ji Ling Xue this nominally rightful princess a red envelope?
Ji Ling Xue shrugged, "Fine if prince won't give, why do you have to shout, I'm scared."
Xiao Yi Chen almost rolled his eyes, he held himself back, walking forward with quick steps, leaving a good distance between him and Ji Ling Xue, but the anger in his heart was still burning, so much so he looked distracted throughout the banquet, the spitting image of a wintry December.
JI Ling Xue turned her head to look behind uttering: "Yi, why has younger sister still not followed."
