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

Because of the Emperor's southern tour, Gu Bingkun has been extremely busy lately and has been staying in the palace for several days without returning home.

That day, Gu Bingkun finally managed to leave the palace. Upon returning to the Gu residence, he first went to Old Madam Gu's courtyard to chat with her before coming to Jiang Huishu's place.

As usual, Jiang Huishu served Gu Bingkun his washing and supper before tearfully pleading with him, "Master, my niece really cannot become the eldest son's concubine! Please, Master, do me justice, I beg you."

As she spoke, Jiang Huishu was about to kneel down before Gu Bingkun.

Gu Bingkun quickly helped Jiang Huishu up, preventing her from kneeling on the ground: "Why are you doing this? You've been married to me for so many years and have never asked me for anything. Now that you finally have something to ask me for, how could I possibly refuse?"

As he spoke, Gu Bingkun pulled Jiang Huishu to sit down with him: "That brat Yan Jin, when exactly did he develop feelings for Chunxi?"

"Also, doesn't he like Princess Hua'an?" Gu Bingkun's face turned ugly. "This brat is really nothing like me. His attitude towards relationships is simply unbearable to watch."

Because he considered himself a devoted lover, Gu Bingkun naturally disapproved of his son's fickle behavior.

“I don’t know when the eldest young master started to have those feelings for Chunxi,” Jiang Huishu said, wiping her tears with her handkerchief. “But I absolutely cannot let Chunxi become the eldest young master’s concubine. As you know, my master, I cherish Chunxi as if she were my own life. In my heart, Chunxi is no different from my own daughter.”

"Moreover, as the eldest young master's stepmother, if my niece were to become his concubine, how would others view me? Because of my background, I am already frequently subjected to disdain and ridicule from the noble ladies of the capital."

"If my niece were to become the eldest young master's concubine, how could I ever go out in public again? The gossip and mockery from others would drive me to my death."

As Gu Bingkun's wife, Jiang Huishu naturally had to go out and socialize, and every time she went out, it was an ordeal of verbal torture for her.

Gu Bingkun's face darkened: "Why have you never told me about the grievances you've suffered outside? In your heart, do you still care about me as your husband?"

"I...I..." Jiang Huishu felt a chill run down her spine as she saw Gu Bingkun's anger. "I just didn't want to make things difficult for you, so I thought it was better to avoid trouble. Anyway, people were just saying some unpleasant things and didn't do anything to me."

Tell him about Gu Bingkun...

Ha! How utterly ridiculous! Isn't it because Gu Bingkun didn't take her, his wife, seriously that others dared to look down on her, Madam Gu?

Just like the servants in the Gu family, Gu Bingkun, the master, doesn't respect his wife, which is why the servants in the mansion dare to bully her.

Although Old Madam Gu had Bai Mama reprimand the servants in the mansion, some things had become ingrained habits and could not be changed simply by Bai Mama's reprimands.

Therefore, during this period of time, the servants in this mansion continued to treat Madam Jiang Huishu as they always had, and some servants even went further.

For example, that maid who delivered the contraceptive medicine to Jiang Huishu is now speaking to Madam Jiang Huishu even more arrogantly.

"Sigh!" Gu Bingkun sighed softly. "If you suffer any grievances outside in the future, remember to come to me. You are my wife, Gu Bingkun's wife. There is absolutely no reason for you to be bullied."

"Understood, sir." Although she said that, Jiang Huishu didn't take Gu Bingkun's words to heart at all.

“As for Yan Jin, you don’t need to worry,” Gu Bingkun continued. “I’ll find some time to have a good talk with his child and make him give up the idea of ​​taking Chunxi as a concubine. However, Chunxi’s marriage needs to be settled as soon as possible.”

"Once the Emperor returns from his southern tour, I will find Chunxi a marriage partner as soon as possible so that her child can settle down and completely put an end to Yanjin's hopes."

"Then I thank you, sir." Jiang Huishu's anxious heart finally settled down.

In the following days, Gu Bingkun became busy again, so he put aside the matter of having a good talk with his son. He thought that since Chunxi was in Jiangnan now, there was no need to rush to have a good talk with his son.

And this delay has lasted for almost another month.

What Gu Bingkun didn't know was that Jiang Chunxi was very much favored by the emperor in Jiangnan at this time.

The emperor then favored two more women from Jiangnan, only to discover that despite being from the same region, the difference between them was enormous. Therefore, when he was less busy with state affairs, the emperor summoned Jiang Chunxi to his bedchamber for several consecutive days.

As for the concubines he brought from the palace, the emperor neglected them all after he came to Jiangnan, and he never favored any of them.

The Empress did not come to Jiangnan this time. The highest-ranking person to come to Jiangnan with the Emperor was Consort Li.

Consort Li was quite favored when she was young, but now that she is older, she naturally receives less and less favor. Therefore, Consort Li has no particular feeling about the Emperor's favor towards a woman from Jiangnan.

However, the young concubines who came to Jiangnan did not think that way.

That morning, the concubines came to pay their respects to Consort Li and asked her to make decisions for them.

"Your Highness, we sisters were all brought out of the palace by the Emperor. How can we let some vixen from outside outshine us?" It was the voice of a Noble Lady. "I've heard that the Emperor has been favoring that Jiang woman from Jiangnan these past few days and has forgotten about us sisters."

"Ha! Look at what you're saying," Consort Li sneered. "It's as if the Emperor has favored any of you since he came to the Jiangnan Palace. Besides, it's just a beauty presented by an official from Jiangnan. The Emperor was just indulging in novelty and favored her a bit more. Is that something you should be treating like a major threat?"

“You can’t say that,” came the voice of a concubine. “The Emperor has always been very particular about distributing his favors evenly in the palace. I’ve never seen him show any favoritism towards any of his concubines. But this time, the Emperor seems to be treating that woman from Jiangnan differently. He has been favoring her for several days in a row. I’m worried that the Emperor might be having second thoughts.”

"How dare you!" Consort Li rebuked coldly. "Consort Wang, how dare you! What, do you think that because I am not the Empress, you dare to speak so recklessly in front of me, confident that I will not punish you? Or do you think that your words will not reach the Emperor, or even if they do, the Emperor will not punish you?"
