Heavenly Divine Doctor: Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 458: Intimate Little Cotton-padded Jacket

Seeing Xue Liu being dragged out, Lu Xiangzhi walked into the room dumbfounded. Ye Zhen, the little daughter was acting coquettishly with Pei Shi. She was completely different from the fierce and powerful person outside just now.

"Your Royal Highness, this lowly one just now acted discourteously, I beg the princess for forgiveness, please don't expel me." Lu Xiangzhi bowed with trepidation.

Ye Zhen snorted. "Mother, this person just said that I can't get married, what do you think should be done with him?"

Pei Shi said with a smile, "Throw him out."

Lu Xiangzhi immediately jumped up. "Mother, are you still my mother?"

"You deserve it!" Ye Zhen smiled happily. "Who let you bully me?"

Pei Shi turned her head to look at her daughter. "Yaoyao, you just chased her out like this, how will you explain to your grandmother later?"

"Mother, is it necessary for a sick servant to stay and pass her illness onto others if she is not allowed to go out to recuperate?" Ye Zhen hid the coldness in her eyes. She knew that Lu Shiming had no intentions towards her, yet she(XL) insisted on using her status as a concubine(servant)* to make others feel disgusted. If she did not take the opportunity to chase this kind of person away, how long would she have to wait?

[*Previously, Xue Liu was said to be a servant but whether or not she is a tongfang- lowest-ranked concubine, isn’t certain cos the author hasn’t made it clear. Tongfangs are usually servants who get upgraded to concubines.]

"She has served* your father before, and also in front of the old lady for many years…" Most of the time Pei Shi still endured Xue Liu so far because she didn't want the old lady to think she couldn't tolerate people. Although the old madam didn't say anything, she still restrained herself. Fortunately, her husband never cared about this woman(XL).

[*We aren’t certain if the ‘serve’ here also means serving in “bed”, and again, the author hasn’t clarified.]

Ye Zhen sneered. "So what? Isn't she a servant after serving Father?"

Pei Shi frowned. She felt that her daughter's words made sense because she cared too much about the matriarch's opinion of her, she had been hesitant to do many things and didn't dare to let go of it. No matter what, Xue Liu is just a slave, can't she still decide on whether she should leave or stay next?

"Yaoyao, you've grown up!" Pei Shi looked at Ye Zhen, deeply moved. She thought her daughter still needed her protection, but she didn't know that she had grown up quietly. And today, she revealed herself as a beautiful lady for the first time. Majestic and imposing, she just heard her daughter's words sitting inside the room just now, and she wondered if she had heard her wrong.

Ye Zhen smiled and leaned on Pei Shi’s shoulder. "I will always be my mother's intimate little cotton-padded jacket*."

[*TL/N: intimate little cotton-padded jacket – It’s a saying in Chinese that girls are like their mothers' intimate little cotton-padded jacket meaning they care for their mothers and are gentle and sweet. Obviously, this is absurd as daughter or son doesn’t matter as long as they’re brought up in a kind, loving and understanding environment each will take care of their parents.

Lu Xiangzhi said, "Mother, look, where do we need to worry about Yaoyao being bullied in the future? It would be nice if she doesn't bully others."

Pei Shi laughed and hit him. "You just know how to play up your sister!"

"Serves you right!" Ye Zhen clapped her hands and exclaimed. "Mother, my brother has been spoiled, we need to marry him to a sister-in-law who is like a tigress in the future."

"There are already two tigresses in the family, must I marry another one?!" Lu Xiangzhi cried out.

Ye Zhen snorted coldly. "You need to be beaten again."

"Sigh, it's hard to support women. I'll go find my eldest brother." Lu Xiangzhi pretended to sigh helplessly, shook his head, and bowed to Pei Shi. "Mother, I will take my leave."

Pei laughed and scolded, "Go, go, go."

"It seems that I am not a mother's intimate little cotton-padded jacket but a piece of rag." Lu Xiangzhi sobbed aggrievedly and ran out when the two tigresses were about to beat him.

Ye Zhen’s mood improved greatly after Lu Xiangzhi’s antics. "Mother, I'm going to see Grandmother."

"Your grandmother has entered the palace. Today, the empress dowager summoned her into the palace to accompany her."

Although Lu Wushuang was no longer the Gui Fei, the empress dowager had not changed her attitude towards the Lu family. She would always reward the old madam with good things. For the Lu family, this is also a good thing.

"What did Grandmother go into the palace for?" Ye Zhen was taken aback. How come she suddenly entered the palace?

Pei Shi smiled and said, "How would I know that? She probably went for a chat with Empress Dowager."

Ye Zhen was a little worried. The old madam wouldn't tell Empress Dowager about her marriage today, right? Even if she was willing to marry Tang Zhen, she could not bring up the wedding at this time. Mo Rongzhan would never agree! If he knew about this… She did not dare to imagine how angry he would be.

She only hoped that even if the empress dowager knew, she would not tell him. After a few more days, she would tell the old madam that she should not mention her marriage for now. Otherwise, she would not know what Mo Rongzhan would do.
