EBE Chapter 370 The Rise of a Concubine (1)
Chapter 370 The Rise of a Concubine (1)
Anchao.
The Changning Marquis's Residence.
Today is the wedding day of Prince Jiang Wenzhou and Lin Jinyin, the daughter of the Minister of Rites.
The two women's mothers were best friends.
They were betrothed to each other when they were still in the womb.
Because their mothers often met, the two often played together when they were young.
They could be described as "childhood sweethearts".
As they grew older, they both came to understand the importance of maintaining proper boundaries between men and women, and they stopped seeing each other as often.
-
In Anchao, marriage was decided by the parents.
Marriage was arranged by parents and matchmakers.
Even if Jiang Wenzhou only felt the same way about Lin Jinyin as he felt about a younger sister, he still wanted to marry her.
Lin Jinyin is the legitimate daughter, a woman of noble birth.
Unfortunately……
I'm not in good health.
I need to rest after walking just a few steps on weekdays.
They couldn't stand the wind.
In the summer, you have to wear thick clothes.
In winter, charcoal fires and earthen stoves are indispensable.
With her physical condition, let alone giving birth to Jiang Wenzhou's legitimate son, she couldn't even share a bed with him.
-
The Lin family has a concubine.
She was quite favored by Lin Jinyin's father.
Taking this opportunity, they also included Lin Jinyin's half-sister, Lin Jinrou, in Lin Jinyin's dowry.
For the sake of Lin Jinyin's reputation, Lin Jinrou certainly cannot be made a servant.
Otherwise, Lin Jinyin would have gained a reputation for being jealous as soon as she married into the family.
In addition, there was the support of Lin's father—he felt that since Lin Jinyin's health was not good, then Lin Jinrou should give birth to Jiang Wenzhou's child, and Lin Jinrou would also help the Lin family in the future.
Or……
If Lin Jinyin dies and Lin Jinrou is promoted to the position of official wife, Jiang Wenzhou will still be his son-in-law.
Lin Jinrou benefited from the man's world.
They stayed in the courtyard for the time being.
There are people to serve them.
Everything she ate, wore, and used was regulated by her concubine.
Everyone in the Changning Marquis's mansion knew that Lin Jinrou was destined to become a concubine, and might even be granted the title of a noble concubine.
In fact, on their wedding night, Lin Jinrou wanted to serve Jiang Wenzhou...
Lin Jinyin used her remaining energy to have someone keep a close watch on Lin Jinrou.
Tonight is her wedding night with Jiang Wenzhou.
She herself could not serve Jiang Wenzhou.
...afraid of dying in bed.
But he didn't want to give Lin Jinrou the benefit.
She and Lin Jinrou have been at odds since childhood.
He couldn't stand Lin Jinrou's affected manner.
He also resented her for taking away his father's favor.
Rather than letting her spend her wedding night with Jiang Wenzhou, it would be better to let her maid, Bai Ruofu, do it.
-
Bai Ruofu was a servant born into the Lin family.
Bai Ruofu's mother served Lin Jinyin's mother.
Because she was beautiful, and... had a full bust and a pert bottom, she was assigned to serve Lin Jinyin.
So that she could accompany Lin Jinyin when she got married in the future.
Bai Ruofu's indenture is in Lin Jinyin's hands, and her mother is in Lin Jinyin's mother's hands, so she can only listen to Lin Jinyin.
Lin Jinyin asked her to serve Jiang Wenzhou tonight.
The maids all envied Bai Ruofu.
For these maids who accompanied their husbands in their dowry, the best path was to serve the young master, be promoted to concubine, and then give birth to a son who would be raised under the care of the mistress.
But Bai Ruofu felt that this path was not easy to walk.
-
Having served Lin Jinyin for a long time, Bai Ruofu has come to know her very well.
Lin Jinyin is petty.
She is extremely jealous.
But on the surface, he always pretends to be magnanimous and dignified.
Sometimes he gets so angry that his face trembles, but he still perseveres.
I always get so angry that I lose my temper.
Then he took his anger out on the maids.
She made herself serve Jiang Wenzhou only to prevent Lin Jinrou from coming.
It's not that they really want to elevate themselves.
If tonight, Bai Ruofu and Jiang Wenzhou really... several times.
She felt that Lin Jinyin would definitely not let her off the hook tomorrow.
