Madam, Save Me

He made a huge profit by exchanging a concubine for a valiant general.

As expected, God was kind; knowing he was having a bad day, He gave him this wonderful surprise.

Qin Lie was overjoyed to have his wish fulfilled. He and Xu Weibei drank together until the curfew was approaching before parting ways and returning home.

Xu Weibei had drunk quite a bit. Even though he usually had a high alcohol tolerance, he felt dizzy and lightheaded when he walked, and everything he saw seemed to be blurred.

As soon as he stepped through the second gate, he saw a woman dressed in white standing there, her figure several layers deep, almost like a female ghost...

Gao Lan eyes, called out, "First Concubine, are you waiting here to greet the Marquis?"

Heavens above! Finally, there's a woman in this mansion who cares about us!

The Marquis has been back for so long. Aside from the initial incident where several concubines knocked on the study door, which was somewhat behaving, what happened afterward?

Each one is more exaggerated than the last.

He felt sorry for the Marquis.

Now that my First Concubine has been sick, has she finally come to her senses?

Ah, no, that's not right!

The Marquis has already agreed to give his First Concubine to Qin Lie.

Good heavens, the only one who's finally figured it out, and now we're sending him away?

Gao Lan felt sorry for Xu Weibei.

Xu Weibei: Oh, First Concubine.

First Concubine?

Isn't this the First Concubine that lecherous Qin Lie has his eye on?

Okay, good, they really are a match made in heaven, waiting here for him, the matchmaker.

"You," Xu Weibei said, pointing at her before his First Concubine could speak, "Your good fortune has arrived."

The First Concubine was stunned at first, then her face lit up with unbelievable joy.

"My Marquis, did Madam send someone to find you and tell you? This servant thanks Marquis for your kindness, my Marquis!"

What madam? What does this have to do with Gu Wanning?

"It's not Madam," Xu Weibei said, "I've made the decision!"

From now on, no matter what, whether it's good or bad, if you have grievances or resentment, take it out on him and don't involve innocent people.

For Xu Weibei, his First Concubine's attitude was unimportant; he had to cooperate no matter what.

He wasn't afraid of being blamed.

The price of incurring the wrath of the First Concubine for subduing a fierce general like Qin Lie is insignificant.

The First Concubine, overjoyed at her success, exclaimed, "Thank you, Your Marquis! Thank you, Marquis Highness! I kowtow to you. Rest assured, I will serve the eldest young lady wholeheartedly from now on!"

Young lady?

Xu Weibei was somewhat taken aback.

Drinking really does lead to trouble.

"Eldest daughter?" Gao Lan. "First Concubine, what are you saying?"

It's obvious these two aren't on the same page!

The First Concubine's smile remained, but it was quickly replaced by shock. "Didn't the Marquis just promise me that I would take care of the eldest daughter who is about to be brought back to the manor from outside?"

Xu Weibei: "... Who said that? I'm going to give you away."

"Give me away?" The First Concubine's face turned deathly pale instantly. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. "My Marquis, please don't give me away. I don't need my monthly salary, I can do anything, I just Marquis you to have mercy and let me stay in the Marquis's Residence..."

Xu Weibei frowned. "Why should I keep you in the Marquis's Residence?"

Crying and wailing, what kind of behavior is that?

Forget it, he has a headache and can't communicate with these women.

He wanted to go back to find Gu Wanning have her talk to his First Concubine.

Ah, if only Gu Wanning weren't that Old Thief Gu's daughter.

They're such a perfect match.

Chapter 50 The Lady Saves Lives

The First Concubine crawled forward on her knees, grabbed Xu Weibei's legs, and pleaded desperately.

Xu Weibei hated people who were persistent and clingy, regardless of gender.

He was used to strict discipline and absolute authority in the military.

Such behavior by the First Concubine would be punished with beatings in the army, or even beheading to uphold military discipline.

The phrase "cherishing beauty" doesn't exist in Xu Weibei's dictionary, so he simply kicked the person away.

The First Concubine fell to the side, as if she had been knocked senseless.

Xu Weibei frowned and scolded, "You ungrateful wretch! You're incredibly lucky to be able to marry Qin Lie as his principal wife! In the Marquis's Residence, I will never touch you in my entire life."

"Then this servant is willing to stay in the Marquis's Residence."

"I'm not letting you choose. You're mine, and now I'm giving you to Qin Lie. If you don't know what's good for you and continue to cause trouble, I'll give you to Qin Lie as a concubine!"

Stupid thing!

Xu Weibei had been humiliated by the Grand Princess, but Qin Lie treated him to a meal, which finally helped him calm down.

Now that he's back and is facing his First Concubine's behavior, he can't control his anger.

These people, day after day, can't they make him even a little bit happy?

The First Concubine were filled with tears.

Xu Weibei didn't want to pay her any attention, but for Qin Lie's sake—after all, she was the one he sent away—how could he bear it if she went to Qin Lie crying and wailing? So he thought he should warn his First Concubine.

However, talking to women was more difficult for Xu Weibei than fighting a war.

So he paused for a moment to think it over.

In the short time he was preparing, he saw his First Concubine get up from the ground, lift her skirt, and stumble inside as if there was a ghost behind her.

Xu Weibei remained silent, a vague sense of worry creeping into his heart. Had he driven the man mad?

How am I going to explain this to Qin Lie?

Enough, enough. He decided not to be stubborn and would leave this matter to Gu Wanning.

Although he often couldn't figure out what Gu Wanning was thinking, among the short ones, Gu Wanning was clearly smarter, more quick-witted, and easier to communicate with than the other women in the backyard.

Thinking of this, Xu Weibei strode inside.

Gao Lan shouldn't have gone in, but after thinking about it, he felt there might be more trouble to come, so after hesitating for a moment, he followed after him.

Xu Weibei didn't say anything; he knew he had made the right choice.
