219 How Could the Women at Home Be As Interesting?
Zhao Hongwei rushed back from outside and did not even see Zhao Panpan.
“The Pure Consort seems to be in a hurry to return to the palace. Now that she is favored by the emperor and has a sensible personality, she won’t make things difficult for His Majesty. The next time the marquis misses her, you can go to His Majesty and ask for a few days of leave.” The servants in the residence counseled Zhao Hongwei.
“Yes, Panpan has always been loved by others.” Zhao Hongwei nodded. Zhao Panpan was a beautiful and talented woman in Jing City. Now that she had entered the palace and become the Pure Consort, he would have more face as a father when he went out. Previously, everyone had laughed at him for not having a son despite having a room full of women.
“Go, tell Concubine Wan that I’ll go to her room to sleep today.” Zhao Hongwei said. Concubine Wan was young and it would be easier for her to get pregnant. He was a little anxious now. He only had one son, Zhao Ruifeng, and he was not close to him. Zhao Ruifeng’s status and power were higher than his, and he often led troops to war, and he might die at any time, so Zhao Hongwei wanted to have another son.
“If I can have another son, I will definitely raise him well so that I can consider who to pass on the position of the marquis to.” Zhao Hongwei thought to himself. He usually looked down on Zhao Ruifeng, his son, and Zhao Ruifeng was estranged from him because of the death of Madam Xue. Speaking of which, with a life in between them, the relationship between father and son could not be good. If he had another son, Zhao Hongwei would definitely not let Zhao Ruifeng inherit the position of marquis. Outsiders all said that Zhao Ruifeng was very capable and that he had a good son, but they did not know that he would rather not have this son. After all, it was really unreasonable for a father to rely on his son to live.
“Sigh, if only I could have another son.” Zhao Hongwei spoke as he walked. Who knew that just as he finished speaking, the tiles on the roof would suddenly fall? Every time Zhao Hongwei took a step forward, a piece of tile would fall and fall at his feet. When Zhao Hongwei stopped in his tracks with a look of horror on his face, the tile fell to his feet.
The manservant was stunned, and Zhao Hongwei’s heart trembled.
“Marquis, our residence hasn’t been renovated for a long time. It was probably a coincidence,” The manservant said dryly. The way the tiles fell was too mysterious, and the roof did not look like it had been in disrepair for a long time, so why would the tiles fall?
“It looks like it was forcefully pulled down by someone.” One of the servants mumbled, sending a chill down Zhao Hongwei’s spine.
“How is Xiao Meili managing the house? What if the roof falls down and hits someone? Tell her to quickly find someone to repair the residence.” Zhao Hongwei furrowed his brows, hiding the uneasiness in his heart. Did the heavens still care if he had a son or not? Why did the roof tiles fall when he said he wanted a son? How could the heavens be so free?
“The Madam has not been feeling well for a while, so the Young Madam is in charge of the residence now. This servant will inform the Young Madam in a while.” The manservant’s lips curved into a smile. Now, the Young Madam was the head of the household!
Zhao Hongwei was stunned for a moment. He thought that it was normal for the Young Madam to be in charge, so he did not think too much about it.
“Marquis, Concubine Wan said that she is not feeling well. She asked you to find other the concubines .” Not long after, the servant who had gone to pass on the message came back.
“Then what about Concubine Wu?” Zhao Hongwei frowned. Although Concubine Wu had two daughters, she had taken good care of her body.
“Concubine Wu is also not free. Concubine Yuan, Concubine Wen, Concubine Xia, and the other concubines are all busy. They’ve asked you to… go out and sleep,” the servant replied. The servant quickly looked up at Zhao Hongwei, then lowered his head and whispered.
Zhao Hongwei’s eyes widened in disbelief. Every time he came back, there would be more than a dozen women trying to drag him to his room. Sometimes, they would even ask their daughters to help them. What was wrong with them today?
The manservant did not dare to say what happened in the residence today. In the afternoon, a concubine was thrown into a pot and cooked for a long time. She was cooked until she looked like a red shrimp before she was fished out. The Young Madam’s methods were so ruthless. Who would dare to speak carelessly? Sigh, the Old Master and Old Madam in the residence had brought their young daughter to live in the temple and could not manage the affairs of the residence. Now, the Young Madam was the only one with power in the residence!
“Forget it, forget it. I don’t have to stay in the residence. I’m just afraid that they will be sad.” Zhao Hongwei waved his hand, his face burning with embarrassment. However, he had quite a few female friends outside, so he was prepared to go out to sleep. How could the women at home be as interesting as the women outside? The concubines in the residence were sensible, but in the end, they were not as exciting.
