Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

“You’re right. It’s precisely at times like these that I must not lose my composure,” Consort Yu said. “Prepare pen and ink for me. I need to write a letter and send it back to the Ningxin Marquis’s residence.”

The mere mention of the Ningxin Earl's Mansion made Consort Yu feel like she was about to vomit blood. Because of her brother's absurdity, the marquisate that her grandfather had risked his life for was demoted to earl. If her grandfather knew this in the afterlife, he would probably be so angry that he would die of anger again.

It is worth mentioning that Consort Yu was unaware that the Imperial Household Department's care for her was entirely due to the head of the department's consideration for Grand Tutor Jiang; otherwise, she might have actually vomited blood.

In the original owner's previous life, after Consort Yu became pregnant, the original owner went to ask her grandfather for help. Consort Yu then learned that the head of the Imperial Household Department was taking good care of her because of Grand Tutor Jiang. It was also because the original owner asked Grand Tutor Jiang that the head of the Imperial Household Department agreed to help Consort Yu give birth to the imperial child smoothly.

Consort Yu was indeed capable; during her ten months of pregnancy, she successfully won over the head eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, turning him into one of her own.

No wonder she was able to become Empress Dowager; Consort Yu's mind was truly extraordinary.

However, they are all heartless, ungrateful bastards.

That very night, Madam Li received a letter from her daughter in the palace, which nearly made her faint. She roared at her servants to immediately fetch her son.

When Li Renhuai arrived at his mother's place, she immediately threw her daughter's letter at him and said, "Look at the mess you've made! Your sister has been dragged into this mess because of you."

"In short, send Xue Rou away immediately and win Jiang Chunxi back," said Madam Li, tears streaming down her face. "Renhuai! Wake up! Do you really want to ruin your future and all the hopes of our Ningxin Marquis's mansion for a woman?"

"You should know that as long as your sister can give birth to a prince, she will have a chance to compete for the throne. If your nephew can sit on the throne in the future, then you will be the emperor's uncle. It would not be an exaggeration to say that you are second only to the emperor."

"So you're really going to hold your sister back and give up your long-held ambitions for the sake of a woman?"

"You need to understand that only if you marry Jiang Chunxi will you have the opportunity to enter the imperial court as an official, and only then will your sister be able to use the Jiang family's influence to compete for that position."

"Otherwise, let alone competing for that position, it's hard to say whether you can even bear an heir. After all, the Emperor is currently angry with your sister because of you, and your sister's favor with the Emperor might be completely cut off in the future."

Li Renhuai's expression was conflicted: "Mother, if I abandon Xue Rou, then Xue Rou will have no way to survive. How can I do such a cruel thing to the woman I love?"

"So you're capable of doing something cruel to your own sister?" Mother Li roared. "What can Xue Xuerou offer you? Besides holding you back, what help can she give you?"

"Besides, it's not like I'm asking you to abandon her, it's just asking you to keep her outside," Mother Li earnestly advised. "If you and Xue Rou truly love each other, can't you even withstand the slightest setback?"

“When your sister gives birth to a prince and seizes the throne, the Jiang family will no longer be of any use to you. Then you can take Jiang Chunxi’s life and send the entire Jiang family to hell. Then you can marry Xue Rou with great fanfare.”
