A Concubine (2)_1 “Arguably, it is inappropriate for me, as a mother, to tell you these harsh realities, but I want you to understand that in noble houses, a concubine is nothing more than a plaything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She may enjoy brief moments of favor, but such favor often lands her in endless troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she loses favor, she will face brutal and sinister retaliation, causing her lifelong suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless concubines have helplessly seen their children harmed, and many have been tortured to the point of taking their own lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the unfavored ones, their lives are worse than those of slaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the mansion can trample over them, yet they must endure it silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any resistance results in catastrophic consequences!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Like my own mother, she knew full well that I was being cultivated as a tool to appease the powerful in the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she did not dare to utter a word of resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when I was sold as a concubine to a doddering old man, she did not dare dispute it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the sorrow of being a concubine and the fate of serving as a concubine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Therefore, I would rather have you and Fei’er marry peddlers and be rightfully wedded couples, living ordinary lives with simple food and drink, than have you marry into a Marquis’s mansion to serve as concubines, enduring a life of wealth marred by cut-throat infighting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this point, Cai Wei understood that her mother was warning her against becoming Huo Yuan’s concubine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annoyed, she declared, “Mother, I have no intention of becoming someone’s concubine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rest assured!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Du said, “If you say so, I am naturally relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when Young Master Huo sent such a generous New Year’s gift without any clear reason, it made me suspicious of his intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are still young and naive to the treacherous ways of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I worry you may fall for his charms without noticing his true intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why I’m reminding you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughing despite herself, Cai Wei retorted: “Mother, even if you mistrust Young Master Huo, shouldn’t you trust your own daughter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you see your daughter as someone who would degrade herself willingly and become a lowly servant to another?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Lady Du feel somewhat reassured, and her anxiety turned into joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps I was overly worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely my Wei’er would not willingly become someone else’s inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just concerned about Young Master Huo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I fear he might harbor ill intentions with some inappropriate schemes in mind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, that’s not the case!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei explained: “Young Master Huo is not that kind of person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even told me himself that he has a girl he admires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he will not harbor any indecent intentions toward your daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, ease your mind, mother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, it’s true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When have I ever lied to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her daughter so adamant, Lady Du was somewhat pacified, though she was still not entirely at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he has no intentions for you, then why did he send such valuable gifts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t have such a deep relationship with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, we should not keep these items lest they lead to trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Call Chun Liu and have her go see if those people have left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, call them back and have them take the gifts away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwarrantedly accepting such large gifts from others simply unsettles me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei remembered that the man whom Big Brother Huo had sent earlier had made a gesture at her, indicating he wanted to speak with her privately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was worried about not having the chance to go out and ask him, so when her mother spoke, she seized the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing up, she said, “I’ll go find Chun Liu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will also ask Zhang Bo to look for that person to make sure he returns, lest Dad and Mom worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lady Du felt reassured and let Cai Wei go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei left the second door and headed straight to the Bafu Winery entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the man in the blue robe was there, waiting for her by the restaurant’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she came out, the man approached her, bowed, and said, “Miss Mu, I am under orders from the Young Master to tell you that if you wish to go to Bianzhou Prefecture, you may come to Xinglong Inn at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will accompany you there.”\u003C\u002Fp>",751,"2026-06-03T13:14:27.289Z","2026-06-03T13:14:31.393Z",1,"novelbin.me","610293c1d1a4b9aeb39bd0d2b17c6bc2331958b281e981ba37e6148b6430de38","transmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-chapter-221","transmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-chapter-219",2136,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-cover.jpg"]
