Chapter 26 Self-Degradation
Thinking of this, Li Yaoting gave Yun Wei a deep look, "Then I'll go."

The words "Get out of here!" lingered on Yun Wei's lips, but she ultimately forced them back, simply nodding.

Li Yaoting left satisfied, completely oblivious to the disgust in Yun Wei's eyes.

……

The following day, Chen Yuniang was officially taken into the Li family.

In the state of Wei, taking a concubine was done late at night, and one could not use the main gate but only the back gate.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Chen Yuniang gently stroked the fabric of her wedding dress with her fingers. Her melancholy as a concubine was gradually dispelled by her vanity.

This wedding dress was bought by Li Yaoting from the Brocade Pavilion for a thousand taels of silver. Not everyone can afford to wear it. Only Li Yaoting was willing to spend so much money on her, which shows how much he values ​​her.

So what if I'm a concubine?
Li Yaoting loves her.

Even though Yun entered the family before her, Li Yaoting has never touched her. Yet she not only won Li Yaoting's heart but also gave birth to his son.

The position of the matriarch of the Li family will eventually belong to her, while Yun will eventually be divorced.

Thinking of this, she felt even happier and lowered her head to admire her wedding dress more carefully.

However, her joy vanished once she entered the Li family's backyard.

As soon as she stepped out of the sedan chair, she saw three young girls dressed in the same festive attire standing beside her, along with three other sedan chairs parked there.

Seeing this display of force, Chen Yuniang's mind went blank. "Who...who are you people?"

One of the girls, with a long face, glanced at her sideways and said, "Naturally, I'm here to be a concubine for this family, just like you."

"What?" Chen Yuniang stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"You don't look that old, so why are you hard of hearing?" another square-faced girl scoffed.

"Judging from her appearance, do you not think that the Li family has only taken her as a concubine?" The last round-faced girl looked at Chen Yuniang suspiciously.

However, the Li family was truly wealthy and powerful; they managed to take four concubines into their household at once.

She can finally enjoy a comfortable life.

The round-faced girl looked around, plotting in her mind that she must hold onto that man's heart so she wouldn't have to go back and suffer.

Listening to the three women's barbed words, Chen Yuniang finally believed that they were also concubines taken by the Li family.

At that moment, she felt as if the sky was about to fall.

She reluctantly entered the Li family as a concubine, but unexpectedly, Li Yaoting repaid her in this way, taking three more concubines on the same day.

What does he mean?
Not content with having a Yun woman above her, she also wants other women to be on equal footing with her?
In Li Yaoting's eyes, was she really that cheap?

Chen Yuniang felt utterly humiliated and immediately screamed in anger, completely losing her composure.

When Li Yaoting arrived, he was stunned by the scene.

Before he could react, he saw Chen Yuniang, who was usually gentle and graceful, rush towards him like a shrew.

"Li Yaoting, you have no conscience!" Chen Yuniang went mad and began to tear at him.

Seeing Chen Yuniang like this, Li Yaoting looked at her with a completely unfamiliar expression and forgot to avoid her.

Only when he felt pain on his face did he come to his senses, and with a stern face, he grabbed Chen Yuniang, "Don't go crazy!"

Chen Yuniang was already enraged, and his words were like adding fuel to the fire.

"Li Yaoting, you are heartless and ungrateful!"

Chen Yuniang, having her hands grabbed, used her head to bump into Li Yaoting.

Li Yaoting stumbled from the impact, his face turning ashen. "Chen Yuniang!"

When Madam Li heard the commotion and rushed over, she saw that her son's hair was disheveled, his clothes were torn, and there were several scratches on his face. He looked very disheveled.

Her face darkened, and she shouted angrily, "Guards, quickly pull Aunt Chen away!"

The servants, as if waking from a dream, rushed forward and pulled Chen Yuniang away. Chen Yuniang's hair was also torn and messed up during the struggle, and her expensive wedding dress was ripped to shreds, making her look like a madwoman.

"Your Li family has gone too far, humiliating me like this. I think this marriage should be called off." Chen Yuniang broke free from the servants, her face dark, and pointed at Li Yaoting's nose, shouting angrily.

Li Yaoting has never been as disheveled as he is today.
He was the Earl of Jing'an, yet Chen Yuniang showed him no respect whatsoever.

He immediately became angry, "You crazy woman, you're completely unreasonable!"

Chen Yuniang was already seething with anger, and when she saw that he still dared to scold her, she burst into tears.

She must have been so shameless to be willing to become a concubine for someone like that.

She turned to leave, but was stopped by Old Madam Li. "Yu Niang, calm down. There must be some misunderstanding. Don't worry, I will definitely stand up for you!"

She heard from her son that the Chen family would regain their ducal title in two days. Compared to their Li family, the Chen family had a real title with fiefdoms. Moreover, the Chen family had been framed back then, and the imperial court would definitely give them a lot of compensation.

Once the Chen family regains its noble title, the Li family, as related by marriage, will also rise in status.

Therefore, she would not allow anyone to ruin this marriage.

At this moment, Chen Yuniang was furious, and her son did not know how to comfort her, but instead added fuel to the fire. If Chen Yuniang really ran away, it would be a great loss.

Thinking of this, Old Madam Li was so anxious that her mouth was almost burning. She continued to comfort her, "Yu Niang, don't act rashly. If the marriage is called off, what will Huan Ge'er do?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yaoting felt a chill run down his spine and calmed down.

He immediately stepped forward to comfort Chen Yuniang, "Yuniang, these women are not women I took as concubines."

"If you didn't take them, how come they're here?" Chen Yuniang still looked angry, but she wasn't as resolute as before.

"Someone, go and invite the Earl's wife," Madam Li said in a deep voice.

This matter is definitely related to the Yun family.

That's really vicious.

She actually used this tactic to sow discord between her son and Chen Yuniang.

"No need, I'm here," Yun Wei's clear voice rang out.

Everyone looked over and realized that Yun Wei was standing not far away, having arrived at some unknown time.

At this moment, a smile played on her lips as she slowly walked forward, the path cleared by the servants.

"I was going to discuss this with you a long time ago, but I didn't say anything in order to give you a surprise," she said calmly in the face of Madam Li's sharp gaze.

Madam Li's face darkened.

It was definitely her doing!

Li Yaoting's face was also extremely ugly. "Yun family, you are truly vicious!"

He thought she had come to understand and accept Yu Niang, but he never expected that she was plotting something underhanded.

At this moment, Chen Yuniang finally understood. Her eyes flashed with resentment, but she said sadly, "I respected you as an older sister, but I never expected that you would be so disgusting to me."

Yun Wei looked surprised. "I meant well, but I didn't expect you to think of me like this. It's really disheartening."

"Is that what you mean by kindness?" Li Yaoting asked angrily.

“How could it not be? The manor is so cold and quiet, with only Yu Niang as a concubine. How can that be? Taking in a few more concubines will make the manor lively and festive. Moreover, your Li family has always had few descendants. Taking in a few more concubines will allow your Li family to have more branches and leaves, and ensure the continuation of your lineage. I am doing all this for the sake of your Li family’s ancestral line.” Yun Wei said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Madam Li's originally gloomy expression stirred within her.

No elderly person doesn't wish for their family to have many descendants.

She was the same.

However, due to Chen Yuniang's status, she couldn't bring it up now and originally planned to proceed gradually.

But now, with Yun Shi playing the villain and a concubine offered to her, why wouldn't she be happy to accept?
