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

“Madam, I know it’s hard for you to accept, but Chunxi and I have indeed secretly pledged our lives to each other long ago,” Gu Yanjin said, looking utterly devastated. “I made a vow to marry Chunxi, but when I met Princess Hua’an, I was attracted to her and my heart strayed, which hurt Chunxi and caused her to return to Jiangnan.”

“It’s all my fault,” Gu Yanjin slapped himself twice. “If Chunxi hadn’t been hurt by me, she wouldn’t have thought of going back to Jiangnan. If she hadn’t gone back to Jiangnan, she wouldn’t have been offered to the Emperor by the Jiang family.”

“Gu Yanjin, if you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll fight you to the death right now,” Jiang Huishu said, both angry and scared, the veins on her forehead bulging. “You keep saying you love Chunxi, but you fall in love with other women and even dream of making Chunxi your concubine.”

"Now that you know Chunxi is already the Emperor's concubine, you still want to harm her. I don't believe you don't understand what kind of catastrophic disaster your words will bring to Chunxi if they get out."

"Gu Yanjin, what deep-seated hatred does Chunxi have for you that you would want to kill her like this? Let me tell you, if you are determined to harm Chunxi, then I will fight you to the death and we will die together."

Jiang Huishu then pulled out the hairpin from her hair, looking like she was about to go berserk and stab Gu Yanjin with it at any moment.

"Madam, please don't do this," Gu Yanjin was startled by Jiang Huishu's actions. "I love Chunxi so much, how could I possibly harm her?"

“You still dare to say that,” Jiang Huishu was almost going crazy, “you still say you love Chunxi and even dare to argue that you won’t harm Chunxi.”

"Gu Yanjin, I'll fight you to the death!" Jiang Huishu gripped the hairpin firmly and fiercely stabbed at Gu Yanjin.

Gu Yanjin was truly frightened by Jiang Huishu and, without thinking twice, quickly turned and ran out the door.

Seeing Gu Yanjin run out, Jiang Huishu calmed down and didn't chase after him.

After all, if things really escalate, who knows if Gu Yanjin will go crazy and announce his and Chunxi's secret engagement.

"Ding!"

The hairpin in her hand fell to the ground, and Jiang Huishu immediately slumped down to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

She was just feeling sorry for her niece!

No wonder, no wonder my niece suddenly wanted to go back to Jiangnan. It turns out she was heartbroken by that beast Gu Yanjin and wanted to go back to Jiangnan to heal her wounds.

She had always thought she loved Chunxi like her own daughter, but she had no idea that Chunxi had been deceived by Gu Yanjin. Right under her nose, that beast Gu Yanjin had completely fooled Chunxi.

"Madam." Dingxiang and Dingling walked in and were startled to see Jiang Huishu slumped on the ground.

"Madam, what's wrong? What did the eldest young master say to you that made you..."

Jiang Huishu waved her hand, stopping Ding Ling from asking any further questions. Naturally, the fewer people who knew about Chunxi and Gu Yanjin, the better. Even though she trusted Dingxiang and Ding Ling very much, she didn't want them to know about this.

Madam Gu soon learned that her grandson had gone to Madam Jiang's courtyard and had run out of it in a panic. This made Madam Gu so angry that her forehead throbbed. She felt like she could fall ill, and that she probably didn't have many years left to live.

"Go and fetch the eldest young master for me right now," said Old Madam Gu to the nanny beside her. This nanny was naturally not Granny Bai, since Granny Bai had already been dealt with by her.

"Snapped!"

When Gu Yanjin arrived at Old Madam Gu's place, Old Madam Gu slapped him across the face: "Are you really only satisfied when you've killed this whole family? Let me tell you, Gu Yanjin, if you really don't want to live anymore, then hurry up and die. Don't think about dragging the entire Gu family down with you."

"You heartless beast!" Old Madam Gu cried as she pounded on her grandson. "You'll surely drive me to my death one day!"

"Yanjin!" Old Madam Gu then pleaded bitterly, "I'm begging you, please forget about Jiang Chunxi! Since you were the one who betrayed your relationship first, who are you trying to impress with this act of heartbreak?"

"Don't you think about it? If word gets out about your affair with Jiang Chunxi, will she even survive? You've already wronged her once, breaking her heart. Do you really want to kill her too?"

"Waaah! This isn't affection! This is clearly a deadly blade, trying to kill Jiang Chunxi with every strike. Jiang Chunxi has nothing to do with you, and she has no deep hatred for you. Why do you want to kill her like this?"

"Grandmother, I love Chunxi so much..."

"Slap!" Old Madam Gu slapped Gu Yanjin hard across the face again. "Shut up, shut up, shut up!"

Immediately, Old Madam Gu fainted. She wasn't so angry that she died, but she was definitely made sick by it.

When Gu Bingkun returned home, he learned that his mother had fainted from anger. He then learned from his mother what had caused her to faint. Enraged, he took his son to the ancestral hall and subjected him to family discipline, beating Gu Yanjin until he was covered in bruises and would probably be bedridden for ten days to half a month.

Grandma Gu was naturally heartbroken to see her grandson beaten like this, but she still felt that her son did the right thing. Given his current unruly behavior, he deserved a severe beating.

After beating his son, Gu Bingkun went to Jiang Huishu's courtyard to reassure her and promised that he would not let his son say anything out of line again.

Yes, Gu Bingkun already knew that his son had confessed his affair with Jiang Chunxi to Jiang Huishu.

Jiang Huishu inwardly scoffed at Gu Bingkun's assurances.

Hmph! If you really don't want your son to talk nonsense anymore, why don't you beat that beast Gu Yanjin to death? After all, only the dead can keep quiet.

Gu Yanjin remained in bed for several days, while news suddenly spread throughout the palace that several concubines were pregnant.

Those concubines were all those who went to Jiangnan with the Emperor. After Jiang Chunxi became pregnant, the Emperor finally remembered the concubines he had brought from the palace, so he flipped through the green nameplates a few times and favored those concubines.

Without a doubt, this was definitely Jiang Chunxi's doing. And the reason she did this was obviously to lure out the big fish behind it all. She wanted to see if the person who drugged the emperor would pull off a mass abortion when so many concubines were pregnant.

"How is this possible?" In the Empress's palace, the Empress was almost going crazy. "His Majesty has lost his reproductive ability. How could he possibly get women pregnant, and even get several concubines pregnant at once? And the child in Consort Fu's womb is not a bastard at all."
