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

Chapter 11 The Concubine in the Duke's Mansion

Liu Hanqing felt extremely guilty and repeatedly assured herself that she would never question Xiao Chen's love for her again. However, what she didn't know was that while she was blaming herself and feeling guilty, Xiao Chen's mind was full of other women.

Jiang Chunxi rested for three days before returning to serve Liu Hanqing.

During these three days, Xiao Chen was in such a bad mood! His mood became worse and worse. Every day when he returned to the backyard, no matter how gentle and considerate Liu Hanqing was, it was difficult for him to smile.

Not to mention having sex with Liu Hanqing.

So Liu Hanqing has been in a bad mood for the past three days.

That morning, Jiang Chunxi appeared after Liu Hanqing sent Xiao Chen to the morning court.

Since Xiao Chen didn't touch Liu Hanqing at night these few days, Liu Hanqing would naturally wake up in the morning to send Xiao Chen out to attend the morning court.

"Master, what's wrong today? You look not so good!" Jiang Chunxi handed a cup of tea to Liu Hanqing and asked with concern:

"Alas!" Liu Hanqing sighed, "The prince has been in a bad mood these days because of official business, and I am also in a bad mood!"

"The prince is very capable. Even if he is temporarily stumped by official business, I think he will be able to handle it quickly," Jiang Chunxi said, "Master, why bother yourself? If the prince knew that you were so worried about him, he would be heartbroken."

"That's right," Xichun continued, "The prince cares about the master the most. If you see the master is so worried about the prince's official business, you will be heartbroken."

"I was overthinking it," Liu Hanqing took a sip of tea and then handed the cup to Jiang Chunxi, "Well, it's getting late, I should go pay my respects to my mother-in-law."

When it comes to paying respects, Liu Hanqing can't help but feel annoyed. After all, she is really fed up with her mother-in-law, that old witch.

This time, Jiang Chunxi and Dong Ling accompanied Liu Hanqing to pay their respects to the Duke's wife.

Not surprisingly, as soon as Liu Hanqing finished greeting everyone, she had to serve the Duke's wife breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, the Duke's wife looked at Liu Hanqing carefully and said, "I see that you seem to have gained some weight in the past few days. Although you are taking care of your body, you should also pay attention to your image. Otherwise, if you continue to gain weight, who knows what others will say when we take you out to interact with others?"

"After all, you are the Crown Prince's Consort of the Duke's Mansion. When you go out, you represent the reputation of the Duke's Mansion."

In this environment where thinness is considered beautiful, if Liu Hanqing became unreasonably fat, it would be a disgrace to the Duke's Mansion. That's why the Duke's wife said this. After all, she didn't want to go out and deal with people in the future and be laughed at because of Liu Hanqing.

A hint of hatred flashed across Liu Hanqing's eyes, but it was fleeting and was not seen by the Duke's wife: "My daughter-in-law will follow my mother's teachings and control her diet and will not let herself get fatter."

The Duke's wife frowned and said, "Forget it, you should stop controlling your diet and take care of your body first! The Duke and I only have one son, Chen'er. We are still hoping to have a grandson soon."

"But can you really cure your cold? Don't let your cold not be cured and end up gaining weight."

"Madam," Jiang Chunxi said quickly, "the doctor has said that the Crown Princess's cold symptoms have improved a lot. I believe that after another year or so of recuperation, she should be almost fully recovered. Once the Crown Princess recovers, she will surely give birth to a big fat grandson for you and the Duke soon."

"You are a very sweet-mouthed maid." Although the Duke's wife didn't like Liu Hanqing, it didn't mean that she didn't hope that Liu Hanqing would give her a grandson. So when she knew that Liu Hanqing's cold had improved a lot, she naturally liked Liu Hanqing more. "Madam Liu, give this sweet-mouthed maid a reward."

"Yes, ma'am." said Madam Liu, and then Jiang Chunxi received a purse as a reward, which contained at least one or two taels of silver.

"Thank you, old lady, for your reward." Jiang Chunxi quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.

"All right, get up quickly!" The Duke's wife said, "Serve your Crown Prince's Consort well. When she recovers and gives me a plump grandson, I will reward her handsomely."

Jiang Chunxi: "Don't worry, old lady. I will definitely take good care of the Crown Prince's Consort and make sure she gets well soon so she can give you a big fat grandson as soon as possible."

"Alright, you're never going to stop talking," Liu Hanqing said, "Hurry up and get up! The old lady asked you to get up, why are you still kneeling?"

Hearing what Liu Hanqing said, it goes without saying that she was very dissatisfied with Jiang Chunxi at this moment.

After all, because of Jiang Chunxi's words, she seemed to be under more pressure, so it would be strange if she was in a good mood.

"Alright, if you want to scold someone, go back to your yard. Why don't you scold someone in front of me? People who don't know will think you are speaking in a veiled way." The Duke's wife turned hostile as soon as she said so. After all, she was aware of Liu Hanqing's little thoughts.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Liu Hanqing bowed to the Duke's wife and left with Jiang Chunxi and Dong Ling.

She was in a bad mood and naturally didn't want to play along with her mother-in-law, the old witch.

"Look, look," the Duke's wife said angrily, "This bitch really doesn't take me, her mother-in-law, seriously anymore. She just takes advantage of Chen'er's pampering to treat me like this."

"Madam, you know what kind of person the Crown Prince's Concubine is, so why bother to be angry with her?" Madam Liu said, "But can the Crown Prince's Concubine's cold really be cured? You know, colds are not that easy to cure. I see that the Crown Prince's Concubine is gaining weight too quickly. Don't let her gain a lot of fat before the cold is cured."

As she spoke, Nanny Liu's expression became gloating: "If the Crown Prince's Consort is as fat as a pig, I don't believe that the Crown Prince will still be fond of her. Please don't despise her too much."

"When the prince dislikes the princess, then you can do whatever you want to her. The prince will definitely not let you get angry because of her."

The Duke's wife's mood immediately improved, but then her expression became complicated: "Although I don't like Liu Hanqing, I still hope that Liu Hanqing can give me a legitimate grandson. If Liu Hanqing becomes as fat as a pig and Chen'er doesn't want to touch her anymore, then I won't be able to hold my legitimate grandson."

"Oh! I'm so worried!" The Duke's wife sighed, "On the one hand, I wish Liu Hanqing would be disliked by Chen'er, but on the other hand, I'm thinking about having a legitimate grandson. I'm worried that if Liu Hanqing gets fat and ugly, what will I do if Chen'er doesn't want to touch her?"

Nanny Liu didn't dare to say anything now. She knew from seeing this that no matter what she said, it would not please her. She would have to be very upset before she opened her mouth again.
