Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 402 She'd be willing to take her life

"Zisu!" Chu Yueli never expected that Zisu would volunteer to become her elder brother's concubine!

She knew Zisu was loyal, but this was too unfair to her.

"If you, the head maid of the Duke's mansion, wish to get married in the future, I can find you a good match. Even if it's not a wealthy and noble family, it will be fine, at least you'll be a proper wife."

Only the legal wife can ensure that the children she gives birth to will not be discriminated against.

"Miss, do you care about your reputation?" Zisu looked up and met her gaze.

Chu Yueli let out a soft sigh and said helplessly, "I can be indifferent to myself, but I can't be indifferent to you."

Moreover, only the legal wife has the possibility of a lifelong monogamous relationship.

If one becomes a concubine, it will be impossible for them to have any romantic relationships for the rest of their lives.

“Zisu, my elder brother is a good person, but he may not be the right person for you. Moreover, he is still entangled with the Seventh Princess. I don’t see a good outcome for you if you follow him.”

Although Zisu was her maid, the two had grown up together since childhood, and Chu Yueli treated her like a younger sister.

Zisu smiled and said, "Miss, what if I really do like the young master?"

"Perilla..." Chu Yueli frowned. This was something she couldn't just say carelessly.

"Didn't Miss ask me if I had someone I liked?" Zisu's smile now didn't seem fake; she truly smiled calmly and serenely: "I like the eldest young master, I've liked him for many years, can't you tell, Miss?"

"It's really hard to believe." After all, the eldest brother is such a good person, and he never loses his temper with the servants. It's normal for the servants to like such a gentle and easy-going young master.

She felt that Zisu, like herself, also regarded her elder brother as her own.

"Zisu, this concerns your entire life, it's not something to joke about."

“Miss, I’m not joking.” Zisu said with a serious and sincere expression, “If I can really cure the young master, I can be considered half a benefactor of the young master. I believe the young master will definitely not treat me badly in the future.”

“Even if I am a concubine, given the young master’s character, he and the Duke’s family will definitely treat me and our future child well. I am not a jealous person either. When the young master marries the seventh princess, I will do my best to serve her.”

Chu Yueli knew better than anyone what kind of person she was, and she was certain that what she said today would be what she would do in the future.

Chu Yueli simply didn't want to wrong her.

"Besides, Miss, can you find a better way?" So, this is the best way out of a lack of options.

"Miss, may I try it?"

Chu Yueli remained silent.

Zisu didn't urge her, but waited quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yueli finally said quietly, "This matter is not something you can decide; it depends on what my elder brother thinks."

She looked at Zisu and said seriously, "I don't know if you really like Big Brother, but he won't easily ruin a girl's reputation. The Seventh Princess's matter has already given him a lot of headaches. I don't know if he's willing to accept you."

A look of joy appeared in Zisu's eyes, and she hurriedly said, "I will go to the young master myself and discuss it with him properly."

Although this matter was quite embarrassing, Zisu believed that she could definitely handle it well.

The Duke's Mansion is her home, and the eldest son and young lady are her family.

For the sake of the young master and young lady, she would be willing to give up her life, let alone just a lifetime of innocence!
