Since it was a mutually agreeable arrangement, Granny Wu no longer refused and happily accepted it.
She wasn't the only one; the gold and silver ingots were also included.
The golden peanuts were a gift from the Fourth Miss. She casually gave her a handful, which must have been at least a dozen peanuts. Yu Zhi reluctantly set aside three peanuts, and put the rest into a brocade box as her private stash.
She also has her own savings.
...
In less than two days, Wei Pingxi took Yu Zhi on a tour of the entire Wei residence.
The woman who first appeared petty and unassuming, after leaving the small courtyard to become a concubine in the Jingzhe Courtyard, seemed to have undergone a remarkable transformation in appearance and demeanor in a short time. She was now radiant and delicate, exuding a womanly charm.
When Mr. Wei first saw this woman, he almost didn't recognize her.
No wonder he didn't recognize him.
Yu Zhi now uses only the best of everything. Wei Pingxi is willing to spend money on her, and she has no shortage of money. She only has this one concubine, so she has put a lot of effort into making her look good.
The wives of the eldest and second wives of the Wei family were not as well-dressed as the concubines in Jingzhe Courtyard, which inevitably caused the servants to gossip.
Since the first wife could not find her husband to complain to, she could only pour out her troubles to her younger brother-in-law.
Poor Second Young Master Wei had to appease not only his own wife but also other men's wives. He was so bothered by his wives and concubines that he really wanted to see what kind of good fortune those concubines had received.
Coincidentally, the eldest son of the Wei family and the third son of the Wei family thought the same thing.
The three brothers quietly waited at the spot where Yu Zhi was sure to pass, holding their breath and waiting for someone to come.
Unexpectedly, the person actually arrived, and even the eldest son, who was usually very good at putting on a show, couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.
Men are lustful; a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen one. Young Master Wei even stole from his own sister-in-law, and he didn't mind stealing another one.
The thought had barely formed when a faint ache began to throb in my healed finger bones.
His face turned cold.
Thinking of her fourth sister's temper, which was worse than a dog's, she suppressed her anger for the time being.
After the people left, Wei Er said in a hoarse voice, "Fourth Sister takes excellent care of this concubine. Who knows what she does to her behind closed doors. She's a woman, yet she has better luck with men than any of us. Is that reasonable?"
“It’s really unreasonable.” Wei San frowned. “So what? Second Brother, don’t do anything foolish. You know her temperament; when she gets ruthless, she won’t even recognize her own family.”
"So, only Wei Pingxi knows how to be ruthless?"
Young Master Wei glanced at his unconvinced second brother and said, "When it comes to ruthlessness, you can't beat her."
Wei San met Yu Zhi in the back garden. He was fine; he had plenty of lovers in the brothel, so he didn't need to covet his own sister.
Wei Er was infatuated. While having sex with his wife in the room, he inadvertently called out Yu Zhi's name, which angered his wife so much that she started fighting with him without regard for her image, making the scene very unsightly.
But back to Young Master Wei, he dreamt of his concubines at Jingzhe Courtyard for several nights in a row, and his wives and concubines noticed something amiss.
Almost overnight, Yu Zhi became the most sought-after woman in the household.
"The second young master's head was broken by the second madam, and the second madam was slapped twice, her face is swollen and she is making a scene about going back to her parents' home."
Where is my older brother?
"The eldest son is not as dissolute as the second son, but he has been somewhat absent-minded these past few days. Yesterday, he couldn't resist going out to meet his mistress in secret."
"Is that so?" Wei Pingxi sneered. "How many times did he sleep with that mistress?"
"Three times."
"What a feat to do it three times! Even if he worked himself to death, he could probably only do it three times."
She picked up the vase and smashed it on the ground: "What a bunch of scum! They have no shame, but I do!"
Jade Agate was already used to seeing her get angry, and Yu Zhi was so frightened that she dared not move.
She was unaware that the fight between the second wife and her husband was caused by her, and even less aware that the eldest son had secretly met with his mistress three times, with her on his mind.
Wei Pingxi didn't want to talk to her about these upsetting things. She was confused, but mustered up her courage and advised, "Don't be angry, getting angry is bad for your health."
"Who said I'm angry? I should be happy! Sooner or later, I'll expose their ugly faces. But it's disgusting to say I'm not angry. I'm a petty person, don't you think?"
Yu Zhixin took the opportunity to touch her chest, pretending to calm her down.
Beauty emboldens a man, and she couldn't bear to be angry with such a beautiful face, so she said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "I'll help you get revenge?"
"You?" Wei Pingxi had a sudden inspiration: "Alright, how about stirring up trouble?"
Her eyes were more beautiful than the rarest gemstones in the world. Yu Zhi couldn't bear to disappoint her, so she said firmly, "Yes!"
Chapter 26 Favored Concubine
"meeting?"
As if she had heard a funny joke, Miss Wei's face was full of smiles, her phoenix eyes slanted upwards, and she said only one word, but it seemed to say a thousand words.
Yu Zhi felt resentful as she looked at her with a smile.
But thinking of the truly inhuman Wei Da Gongzi and Wei Er Gongzi, she subconsciously felt a chill and awkwardly touched her slightly burning earlobe: "They will... right?"
An interesting silence followed.
Everything is understood without words.
Yu Zhi blushed.
The fourth young lady watched the spectacle with a leisurely air: "Where did you get that decisive attitude from before?"
"..."
"Are you mute?"
Yu Zhi's chest heaved: "Don't underestimate me!"
"I shouldn't underestimate you." Wei Pingxi lowered his eyes and smiled, "How many times have you secretly touched me in such a short time? Have you counted?"
Seeing through things but not saying it is a matter of principle in dealing with people.
The legitimate daughters of noble families are unrestrained and have no regard for propriety. They say whatever they want without caring whether you have a way out.
Yu Zhi was fuming and too embarrassed to speak.
She wanted to say that this was nothing; the Fourth Miss had touched her far more times than she had just done.
That's even worse.
She regained her courage, though her voice lacked conviction: "How can something between us be called stealing? I was just worried you'd get upset and hurt yourself."
Willow-leaf eyes glanced nervously into the void, their gaze unable to find its place.
Wei Pingxi smiled and said, "Come here."
It's wise to avoid jade and agate.
There were only the two of them in the room.
Yu Zhi dared not disobey her and walked over with trembling legs.
Suddenly, a hand landed on her waist, and a gentle force came through. She straddled the fourth young lady's legs with practiced ease.
"What's going on between us? What could possibly be going on between us?" Wei Pingxi asked tenderly, tapping the mountain and inquiring about the plum blossoms.
Yu Zhi's breathing became labored, and her consciousness gradually became confused: "Hmm?"
"I'm asking you..." she softened her voice, lowering her head to tease the beauty's ear, "Between you and me, everything is perfectly innocent, what could possibly be going on?"
Innocent and pure?
She's so shameless.
Yu Zhi managed to regain some clarity, not letting herself fall into the brief warmth she had given her. Her waist was too weak, and she clung limply to Wei Pingxi, her willow-leaf eyes shimmering with tears, her silence speaking volumes.
"Good boy, I really don't want you to cause trouble."
Wei Pingxi sighed softly: "In the Wei family now, how many people's 'little cabbage' must you be?"
"They all lust after your body, wanting to hold you in their arms and do what I'm doing to you now, but unfortunately they can only dream about it and will never be able to touch you in their lifetime."
Yu Zhi suppressed her shock.
She wasn't stupid; considering what was said, it was easy to understand why the Fourth Miss had lashed out at her two brothers today.
The thought of being coveted behind her back made her furrow her brows relax as she suppressed her nausea: "Why 'little cabbage'?"
"Because pigs root up cabbages, they're all a bunch of pigs."
Yu Zhi was amused by her, and her initial panic quickly dissipated: "If they are pigs, then what are you?"
"Me?" Wei Pingxi said confidently, "I'm a fairy who eats cabbage."
"Fairies? Aren't fairies supposed to drink dew? They wouldn't eat cabbage."
Have you ever seen a fairy?
"Never seen it before."
Miss Wei said smugly, "That's settled then. How do you know fairies don't eat cabbage if you've never seen one? Besides, they drink dew. I want to see if you have any ability."
What skills do you need to drink dew?
She had a frivolous look on her face, and Yu Zhi's heart was pounding. She turned her face away and refused to look at her.
She couldn't figure out what the fourth young lady was thinking, but it certainly wasn't anything good.
However, putting aside the Fourth Miss's inherent wickedness, just for her face alone, she is already the pure and flawless fairy in the hearts of many.
He was like a celestial being, but his nature was like a demon. Yu Zhi recalled once again how people in her previous life had judged Wei Pingxi.
"Forget it. Asking you to help me bully them back just doesn't sound reliable."
Whether out of pity or disdain for her bullying methods, Wei Pingxi abandoned his previous plan to have her stir up trouble.
If she hadn't said those words, Yu Zhi might have forgotten them in her cowardice, but with those words, anyone with a backbone would have to step forward and prove that they still had the ability to bully others.
"How am I unreliable? I'm just stirring up trouble. Watch how I help you regain your dignity!"
"How do you win?" The fourth young lady laughed at her, "Are you just going to drown them with your tears when you get there?"
A faint blush appeared around Yu Zhi's eyes.
