MTL - After Giving Way To My Husband’s Sweetheart-Chapter 142 concubine training room
In a large family, even the concubines have their own status. The one with the highest status can add their own surname and be called the wife, such as Sima Zhengde's beloved wife, Mrs. Su. Further down are the aunts. Most of these women are not of high birth, but they are also daughters of good families. In order to distinguish them, they are also given surnames. Then there are the concubines with low status, such as singers and dancers, who don’t even have surnames and are only called concubines based on their first names.
Mrs. Xie, as mentioned by the steward, is the one who served as Sima Zhengde's wife for several years after Luo was demoted to a concubine. Among these women, the Xie family was the highest born. The Sima family originally wanted to compete with the Xie family. Alliance, that's why Xie was admitted.
Hearing this, Sima Zhengren asked coldly: "Then Mr. Xie, why don't you come?"
The manager replied: "Mrs. Xie said that she has been feeling unwell for the past two days and cannot leave the house."
This Xie family came from a high family and was also the legitimate daughter of the clan. She was supposed to be a good wife. When she was a daughter-in-law, she might have belonged to a high-class family. However, before she passed the door, her fiancé suddenly died of illness. Her family had no choice but to She was also looking for a husband for her, but before the marriage was settled, her biological mother unfortunately fell ill and passed away. She had to remain filial to her mother. In this way, Mrs. Xie was wasted and left with a daughter at an advanced age, and she became a high-ranking and low-ranking daughter in marriage. Awkward situation. Later, in order to marry the Sima family, the Xie family married her to Sima Zhengde as their concubine.
At that time, the Sima family was already prosperous and became a hot new noble in the court. The whole Xie family was eager to sacrifice a wasted daughter to join the Sima family.
Only Mrs. Xie was dissatisfied. How could she, a legitimate daughter of a high family, be willing to be a concubine? Fortunately, God had eyes for it. Sima Zhengde's first wife, the Luo family, was once convicted. Ms. Xie was so proud that she had become the main wife from birth. She was used to sweets. Now she was demoted back to the concubine's room. How could she be willing to do so?
Everyone then knelt down and bowed to Luo in a polite manner. Everyone on the left and right had been concubines all their lives, and they were used to being lowly and lowly. Only Xie was unwilling to do so.
He is not such a person. Perhaps, this is the place where they once lived together after all, and he is still not used to the sudden change of women.
No one in the hall could tell that this was Mrs. Xie's attempt to intimidate Mr. Luo. Although they didn't dare to show it on their faces, they all wanted to watch a good show in their hearts.
Luo Shi looked around the house and asked curiously: "I have been gone for so many years, has no one lived in this yard?"
The steward agreed and stepped back, and the concubine in the room who was about to watch the excitement also stopped thinking. It turned out that she was still idle and wanted to watch the two mistresses compete. Now the master's words were obviously directed towards his original wife Luo Shi. Yeah, there's not much drama left to watch.
After a while, Mrs. Xie followed the steward and entered the hall. She said sadly: "I am not feeling well, so I came late. I hope the general will forgive me."
Is it possible that the husband has been deliberately keeping this yard for her?
Luo Shi sighed slightly and looked sideways at Sima Zhengren.
Although the concubines admired their master, they were even more afraid of him.
The concubines became wooden figures again. They all sat upright and did not dare to make any mistakes.
After hearing the manager's reply, Sima Zhengren's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "Go and tell Madam Xie that if she doesn't come today, she won't have to leave the house from now on. Just stay in the house and recuperate."
The steward hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Madam, since you left, the general ordered people to seal off the courtyard, leaving only a few servants to clean and tidy up, and no one else has been allowed to set foot there."
Hearing the master's instructions, all the concubines dared not to obey, and they all nodded in agreement. No one on the left or right can be favored by the Lord. Compared with Xie, Luo is gentle, courteous, and fair in dealing with things. Everyone is eager for Sima Zhengren's arrangement.

Although she and Love are both Luo's daughters, Luo's is far less strong than her niece. She is a weak person. After this day's twists and turns, she has consumed all her energy. As soon as Luo's head hit the pillow, Then he fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Shi looked at Sima Zhengren eagerly, hoping to get some sympathy from her husband.
Although Sima Zhengren is not gentle, he does what he says and never lies.
Logically speaking, Mrs. Xie should have lived here after she was raised as the principal wife. If it had been lived in before, no matter how she cleaned it up, there would be traces of the new owner.
Although Sima Zhengren was a few years older than Luo, he was still only in his mid-thirties. He was in his prime and most attractive when he was young. In addition, he was born tall and powerful, and held a high position of power, so his movements were even more impressive. A glimpse of courage.
Luo Shi felt a warm feeling in his heart, but it was only for a moment.
Although Luo Shi still resented her husband in her heart, she was still comfortable seeing that her old home had not been enjoyed by anyone. She called her maid to change clothes and wash herself. After having some dinner, she went to bed to rest.
After Sima Zhengren finished his lecture, he went out of the main hall to go about his business. After chatting with the concubines for a few words, Luo was led to his main courtyard by the steward.
Luo's hospital is indeed the same as before. From the pavilions in the courtyard to the furnishings in the house, they are all the same as before, and they have not changed at all.
That night, she slept deeply. In the morning, she gradually woke up. She turned around unconsciously and stretched out her arms, and suddenly touched the person next to her. Luo Shi woke up all of a sudden. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Sima Zhengren was sleeping next to her, Luo Shi was startled and couldn't help but scream.
She has been in charge of his wife for so many years, and he demoted her from the main wife back to the concubine's room for no reason. She feels aggrieved. He should give her an explanation. At least, the husband should feel a little guilty towards her.
Sima's Mansion is very large, with countless courtyards and pavilions, but the main courtyard in the east and west gardens is the only one. Only the principal wife of the master is qualified to live there.
Speaking, Sima Zhengren lectured the concubines again: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. You must all treat your wife with dignity. If anyone dares to disobey my wife, no matter who it is, he will be dealt with according to the family law."
Sima Zhengren was awakened by her. Because of his habit of marching all year round, he was different from the ordinary people who would be so confused when they first woke up. As soon as Sima Zhengren woke up, his mind was clear. He stood up habitually, and first looked up. He turned to the person on the table and said: "I woke up a moment late today." Then he got off the ground neatly.
“I’m going to practice martial arts!”
He didn't care about his wife who was lying on the bed. After putting on his clothes quickly, he took off the long sword from the wall and strode out of the house.
