The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

"No, Your Highness, please spare my life. My Lord, please save me!"

Madam Hou couldn't bear it and was about to speak, but was stopped by the old marquis. He could see that Prince Pingnan was helping Su Qing.

Su Qing couldn't believe it was true! When the King of Pingnan gave her the child, he told her that it was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. She couldn't react for a moment. Pregnancy really makes a woman stupid for three years! Why is her brain still not working? Shouldn't he hit me? Is the King of Pingnan helping me? It's unbelievable.

"Su Qing~Why don't you plead for your sister?" Old Madam Hou really couldn't bear to see Su Wanyu being beaten.

"Madam, I don't know how to plead for you, please give me some advice~"

"You~~~you are such a good Su Qing. Humph~~Jing'er~you can't just watch your wife get punished?"

"Then mother, please persuade His Highness!"

Jiang Weiyang originally wanted to divorce Su Wanyu, but he had no choice but to do so after Prince Pingnan made such a fuss. Prince Pingnan had made it very clear that now was the critical moment and he could not allow himself to have a divorced sister. No matter what, he would keep Su Wanyu.

"Your Highness, please think twice. Most men cannot bear these twenty strokes of the cane, let alone a woman like Wanyu. Please take back your order!"

The old lady of the Marquis knelt down and begged bitterly. First, she really felt sorry for Su Wanyu, who had been in the Marquis's mansion for more than two years and had done nothing wrong. Second, beating the mistress of the Marquis's mansion would be a slap in their faces.

"Are you blaming me for punishing you too harshly? Wei Yang, help me up! I am old and I don't think I can stand seeing blood. In view of my pleading, let Mo Ran do it himself and give her ten strokes of the board! What do you think?"

What else could the old lady say? It was already a great honor to be spared ten punishments.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Ying winked at Mo Ran.

Jiang Weiyang also knew that the ten strokes of the board from Mo Ran were much heavier than the twenty strokes of the board from a servant.

Su Qing hugged Jiang Nian and watched Master Mo Ran spank Su Wanyu with ten boards. Su Wanyu's buttocks were already bruised. Su Qing felt a little relieved.

"Are you satisfied?" Li Ying looked at Su Qing.

Su Qing came to her senses and found that King Pingnan was asking her.

"Your Highness, I feel very sad that my sister has been punished. How can I be satisfied?"

"She still has some brains. Mo Ran, go to the Imperial Hospital and invite Doctor Zhang to come. Make sure he treats the Marquis's wife well."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Weiyang, the old marquis, and the old marquis's wife spoke together.

"I came here to discuss something with the old marquis and Wei Yang."

"Your Highness, please move to the study." The old marquis made a gesture of invitation. But in his heart, he thought, what important matter do you have to discuss? Obviously, I came here to protect Su Wanyu and to vent my anger for Su Qing. We are not saying anything, but it does not mean that we are fools.

When Li Ying stood up and passed by Su Qing, he glanced at her. Not only Su Qing saw it, but Jiang Weiyang also saw it.

"Your Highness, please follow my father to the study room. I will go over after I have arranged for my wife."

"Go ahead. It will take only an incense stick of time."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After Li Ying left, Su Qing looked at Jiang Weiyang and asked, "My Lord, is my former maid still here?"

"It should be there. The side courtyard should not have been repaired yet. You can take Nian'er to live in the Yilan Courtyard next to my study first!"

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."
