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

"I'm not a wild child, I have a mother!" Jiang Chu shouted at Jiang Weiyang, his childish voice full of determination and grievance. His eyes then turned to Su Qing, his eyes flashing with anticipation, as if seeking approval, "Isn't it, mother?"

Su Qing showed a trace of embarrassment on her face. She knew that if she answered yes, it might make Jiang Weiyang suspicious; but if she answered no, she was worried that it would hurt this young and innocent heart. Just as she was hesitating, suddenly, an inspiration came to her mind. She had an idea, squatted down, and looked at Jiang Chu gently.

"Chu'er, if I am your mother, then what about this man? He is my husband. So what should Chu'er call him?" Su Qing asked softly, with a hint of cunning in her tone.

Jiang Chu blinked his eyes after hearing Su Qing's words, then gently scratched his head with his fingers, as if thinking about something. After a while, he finally said, "Daddy?" There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Su Qing was delighted when she heard this, and a bright smile bloomed on her face. She reached out and gently pinched Jiang Chu's pink face, praising: "So smart! Chu'er is really great."

Jiang Chu was a little embarrassed by Su Qing's praise, and her rosy face was filled with a happy smile. She hugged Su Qing's neck tightly and said coquettishly: "Do I have a new father?"

While the two were talking, Jiang Weiyang had already walked over. He looked at the boy in front of him with a serious face and asked in a stern tone: "Whose boy are you? Who is your father?" He looked as if he wanted to eat someone.

"Hey~~ Why are you like this! Can you be nicer? He's still a child." Su Qing on the side couldn't bear to watch it anymore and couldn't help but speak out.

"How could I not know that he is a child? Let me ask you, whose child is he?" Jiang Weiyang did not change his attitude because of Su Qing's words. Instead, he became even more aggressive.

"Oh, I'm not sure. I saw him outside alone and felt sorry for him, so I brought him back." Su Qing explained helplessly.

"You'd better tell the truth, hum~" Jiang Weiyang snorted coldly. Although he didn't continue to ask, his expression became very ugly. He turned and left with a sullen face.

Looking at Jiang Weiyang's receding back, Su Qing couldn't help but shook her head, secretly sighing in her heart: This man is jealous even of a wolf, let alone a child. Maybe he is making random guesses in his mind now.

"Ruxue, take him to take a bath first, change him into clean new clothes, and then bring him to see me. I'll go see if there is anything that needs to be dealt with on the Marquis' side." Su Qing turned to Ruxue beside her and instructed.

"Mother~" Hearing that Su Qing was leaving, Jiang Chu quickly reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes, looking at her pitifully, his big eyes full of grievance and reluctance, his tearful appearance made people feel distressed, as if he was about to cry the next moment. "Mother, please don't abandon me... wuwuwu..."

Su Qing looked at Jiang Chu like this, and her heart was moved. She knew that she couldn't just leave Jiang Chu here and ignore him, but she also had to let Jiang Chu know that she was not her real mother. But how to explain all this to a child? Su Qing felt a little embarrassed, she really couldn't bear to say those hurtful words to such a lovely child.

After a moment of silence, Su Qing took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm: "Chu Er wants to stay here?"

Jiang Chu blinked, as if thinking about something, then nodded and said, "Yeah, I do." Then he asked, "Will mother be here too?"

"Yes, this is my home."

Jiang Chu answered without hesitation: "Then I want to stay here too. Wherever mother is, Chu'er will be there!"

Su Qing's heart softened, and she almost couldn't help but agree. She touched Jiang Chu's head and said softly, "This is my home, so I will naturally stay here."

Jiang Chu heard this and immediately showed a happy smile on his face: "Great! Then I want to stay here with my mother too!"

Su Qing smiled helplessly, thinking that this child was really innocent.

"Then let Sister Ruxue take you to take a bath first, okay?"

At this time, Ruxue on the side interrupted and said, "Madam, how can he call me sister? This generation relationship is not right!"

Su Qing glanced at Ruxue and said with a smile: "Oh, it's just a name, don't worry about it! Just let him call you that." As she said that, she waved her hand to signal Ruxue to take Jiang Chu to take a bath.

Although Ruxue was somewhat reluctant, she still took Jiang Chu's hand and left. Jiang Chu looked back at Su Qing, his eyes full of attachment and dependence, which made Su Qing's heart ripple.

Looking at their receding backs, Su Qing sighed silently and said to herself: "Poor children~~Alas~~"

Su Qing walked slowly towards Jiang Weiyang's study. Along the way, she felt uneasy, not knowing why Jiang Weiyang was angry. When she arrived at the door of the study, Rufeng appeared in front of her like a whirlwind, and greeted her respectfully, "Greetings, Madam~"

Su Qing nodded slightly and asked softly, "Is the Marquis in there?"

Rufeng quickly replied: "Madam, the Marquis is angry inside."

Su Qing couldn't help but frowned, thinking secretly about how to deal with it. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then asked carefully: "Then I'll go in and see him."

Rufeng looked embarrassed, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Madam, please keep your voice down and don't annoy the master again. Go and comfort the master!"

Su Qing looked at Ru Feng gratefully, then knocked on the door gently. Jiang Weiyang's low voice came from inside the door: "Come in."

Su Qing pushed open the door and walked into the study carefully. She saw Jiang Weiyang standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his back to her. The sunlight shone through the window onto him, outlining his tall and straight figure, but it could not cover up the cold aura emanating from him. "What do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Weiyang's voice was as cold as ice.

Su Qing walked up to him and whispered, "Can we talk about Jiang Chu?"

Jiang Weiyang turned around and looked at her sharply, "What do you want to say?"

"He's just a child, and he seems to like you very much. Maybe we can try to accept him..." Su Qing was interrupted by Jiang Weiyang before she could finish her words.

"No! He absolutely cannot stay in the Marquis' Mansion!" Jiang Weiyang's tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Why? Can't you give him a chance to stay in the Marquis' Mansion just because he looks so much like me?" Su Qing said anxiously.

Jiang Weiyang frowned, "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. His identity is unknown, and we cannot trust him easily. Moreover, I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of him. I will send someone to investigate him, and you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Su Qing bit her lip, "But..."

"Okay, no need to say more." Jiang Weiyang waved his hand and sat on the chair angrily.

"My Lord, are you so angry because you doubt me? Jiang Chu is really not my child. When I was with you, it was the first time. My Lord knows that. How could I have such a big child?"
