Chapter 52: Mess
52 Mess
Concubine Mia is one of the new concubines that Concubine Sie brought in after she got the hold of the power inside this residence. Jun Hua knows that Lin Tang is a man that still has some lust but she never expect that there will be a new child this quick.
"I bet Madam Lin will be angry. When did you found out about it?" Jun Hua asks.
"Just now. My mother told me that this morning the doctor found out about it and tell father," Lin Yuan answered.
"I see," Jun Hua said, "Don't forget to send your congratulation to her."
"Of course I won't!"
Jun Hua returned to her quarter while thinking about the mess this residence has. After going for a 'trip' there are already new problem arise. For Jun Hua it's better for Chun Maora to be busy, but she's worried about that concubine. In this household who didn't know that the woman who holds the highest power is Chun Maora?
Jun Hua is not that cold hearted person despite years in the battlefield had force her to toughen her hearts and wits.
Madam Xie keeps her quarter clean and the servants all respect her. She recounted the things that happened in this residence during the time Jun Hua is away. Listening to them makes Jun Hua wonder just how Chun Maora can keep her calm and only plan for little things. But as she listened, she knows that Madam Lin is not an ordinary person.
"Although those are just something minor, she makes Lin Tang view on Concubine Sie worsen as time pass by," Jun Hua arrived at her conclusion, "She seems to be very capable in scheming."
Xia doesn't know why her Miss now praising her enemy. She knows that Jun Hua must have realizes what Chun Maora plan is. But she never expects that she would choose to praise the enemy instead of helping them.
"Miss, why don't you help them?"
"Help them? She doesn't require it," Jun Hua answered. "Since I could figure it out, how can Concubine Sie don't? They are women who have been through many things by staying in this residence and fight to gain favor. To not realize something so simple is impossible."
Xiao Yun raised her small head. She doesn't understand what they're talking about.
Jun Hua picked her embroidery. "You don't have to worry about them. Concubine Sie knows what she needs the best and she had been planning for it."
Xia nodded. She may not as brilliance as her Miss but she notice a point there. Jun Hua is not someone who used with the scheme of the women in the residence, but she has sharp mind. Realizing things like this is still possible, but she's not the only one who can. The other woman also can and they will do things they needed to do.
Madam Xie also didn't say anything more as she teaches Jun Hua the embroidery. Learning under Madam Xie is far easier compared with Xiao Yun and Jun Hua learned a lot.
…
Chun Maora is having another fit inside her room. Lin San and Lin Hong didn't dare to interrupt as they could only see countless porcelain broke and fell to the floor. It took a long time before Chun Maora gains back her calm.
"That woman dare…" Chun Maora eyes are red. She cannot accept seeing another child again from another woman. Handling Lin Yuan and that kid is already enough hassle for her.
Lin Hong cleaned up some of the broken pieces, "Mother, calm yourself. There's nothing good can be gained from venting aimlessly."
"What do you know?" Chun Maora took a deep breath, "That Concubine Sie, just watch how I torture you after this."
"Mother, do you want father to ground you again?" Lin San furrowed her brows, "If you keep on throwing a fit, father won't like it."
"To finish our plan, you need to calm down mother," Lin Hong added.
Chun Maora can be considered lucky that the children she has give birth all have high intelligent. Lin San is a fine young lady and Lin Hong is a hardworking young man. Lin Hong is smart, so he knows that his mother throwing temper will get on their father bad side.
"Hearing that he has another child is definitely good news for father. Mother, you need to keep on a happy fa?ade and congratulate Concubine Mia."
"I have to…" Chun Maora took a deep breath then nod. She doesn't feel happy, but she cannot allow other to see this side of her. She's the official wife and she needs to act like one. After tidying up her mind, she once again regains her calm.
Lin Hong nodded in satisfaction after he sees that his mother is going to be alright. He's still young, but he knows that there are things he could do. After he grows up, he won't let his mother down anymore.
Lin San smiled as she looks at her mother. "Mother, this daughter has learned a lot from the palace. When it's time for school examination, San'er definitely won't embarrass mother and gain a good place."
"Good. That's good," Chun Maora nodded in satisfaction. If her daughter can become a person who attained great things, she will definitely feels proud.
"Let me help mother to prepare the gifts. Remember you have to put on a smile," Lin Hong reminded.
"Alright. Mother knows, you both are a good child."
Lin Hong and Lin San helped their mother to pick the presents to congratulate Concubine Mia. Lin Hong eyes are still cold as he browses through the list. He doesn't want anyone to interfere with his plan. Before he could grow, he won't let anyone threaten him.
