After Xu Zhu married Meng Gu, why did Meng Gu eagerly give the maid around him to Duan Yu?

Meng Gu is a character in Jin Yong's martial arts novel "Eight Dragons". Meng Gu's original name is Li Qinglu, and she is Princess Yinchuan of Xixia Kingdom. Anyone who has seen Dragon's Eight Branches knows that Meng Gu and Xu Zhu had a strange love experience. Tian Mu hid Meng Gu in icehouse of Xixia Kingdom, and then took him captive to icehouse to do things with Meng Gu. Tian Lao did this to break the precepts. During the three days and nights in the icehouse, Xu Zhu and Meng Gu had a relationship and developed feelings.

But because it was dark in the ice room, Meng Gu and Xu Zhu didn't see each other clearly, so the love experience between Meng Gu and Xu Zhu was very strange. After breaking up, Meng Gu missed Xu Zhu very much. Later, Meng Gu searched for the dream girl through marriage, and finally found the dream girl Xu Zhu who spent the night together. Xu Zhu also left Shaolin Temple and became the princess of Lingjiu Palace, and married Li Qinglu and Meng Gu as she wished. After Xu Zhu married Meng Gu, Meng Gu couldn't wait to give his maid Xiao Lei to Duan Yu as a concubine. Many people are puzzled when they see this plot. Why is Meng Gu in such a hurry to send her maid away? There are three main reasons why Meng Gu did this.

First of all, according to the description in the novel, Xiao Lei, Meng Gu's handmaid, is a beautiful and clever girl. At the beginning, when Meng Gu got married, Xiao Lei, her handmaid, was responsible for receiving young talents who came to get married before the exam. Many young talents present at that time praised Xiao Lei's beauty, which showed that Xiao Lei was indeed a charming girl. Meng Gu and Xu Zhu together, naturally don't want Xu Zhu to think about other girls, so Meng Gu sent Xiao Lei, a beautiful girl around him, to consolidate her love with Xu Zhu and reduce Xu Zhu's chances of cheating.

Secondly, Duan Yu was also one of the young talents who went to Xixia to get married, but in the end he left empty-handed. As Duan Yu's sister-in-law, Meng Gu was ashamed of Duan Yu, so she gave her beautiful maid Xiao Lei to Duan Yu as a concubine. Duan Yu was the prince of Dali at that time, and it is inevitable that he will inherit the throne of Dali and become the emperor of Dali in the future.

On the other hand, Meng Gu's grandmother is a famous bard Li Qiushui. In her fifties, Li Qiushui became the concubine of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Xia Dynasty. There is also a daughter named Li, who is the mother of Wang Yuyan in "Eight Dragons". So Li Qiushui is Wang Yuyan's grandmother, while Wang Yuyan and Meng Gu are actually cousins. Therefore, Meng Ke gave Xiao Lei to Duan Yu as a concubine, which is a kind of marriage.

In addition, Xiao Lei, Meng Gu's handmaid, also knows what happened to Meng Gu and Xu Zhu in the ice room. These things are always disgraceful, especially after Meng Gu got married. Of course, she doesn't want insiders to turn around her every day, which would be embarrassing. So this is one of the reasons why Meng Gu drove her maid Xiao Lei away.
