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

It is worth mentioning that the original owner's grandfather had passed away three years ago, and the original owner's father was a third-rank official, the Minister of the Imperial Treasury.

The official rank was neither high nor low, but in the capital, a third-rank official was really nothing special.

An Chongli's grandfather is still alive and has not yet retired. He is a second-rank official, while An Chongli's father is a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue.

An Chongli himself was much more promising than his father. He passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen and was the most promising junior in the An family. He was one of the top talents in the capital and was recognized as a shoo-in for the top three in next year's imperial examination.

Otherwise, the original owner's half-sister wouldn't have tried to steal the original owner's marriage. It's just a pity that in the original owner's previous life, because of Madam Jiang, the original owner's half-sister did not succeed. After all, An Chongli's grandfather was a person who valued reputation very much.

Even if it weren't for the An family's reputation, but even for the sake of his grandson's reputation, he couldn't be allowed to act recklessly.

But now that it's Jiang Chunxi's turn, it's unclear what the An family's attitude is towards An Chongli marrying Jiang Chunyun. After all, if Old Madam Jiang gives in, the impact on the An family's reputation can be greatly reduced.

“Father must know,” Jiang Chunxi said sarcastically. “After all, in Father’s heart, only the children born to Aunt Tong are his own. Therefore, when faced with such a good son-in-law as An Chongli, Father naturally wants to give the marriage to his precious daughter.”

"However, given An Chongli's fickle nature, once he marries my sister, I wonder if he will still be the good son-in-law in my father's eyes. He is a fickle and unfaithful man. If he can abandon me, his fiancée since childhood, he will surely change his mind and fall in love with another woman in the future."

"If my sister really marries An Chongli, she will probably end up like my mother, watching helplessly as her husband favors his concubine. But I don't think my sister will be as foolish as my mother. After all, she has a mother like Aunt Tong. Even if my sister doesn't learn everything perfectly, even if she only learns five or six parts, it will be enough for her to win a man's heart."

"Sigh!" Old Madam Jiang sighed, holding her granddaughter's hand with heartache, "Chunxi, are you really willing to give up this marriage? After all, your relationship with An Chongli is not something that happened overnight, but a bond that has existed since the beginning!"

“Grandmother,” Jiang Chunxi squatted down and placed her hands on the old lady’s thighs, “You are the one who taught me to do such a thing as clinging and begging and demeaning myself. Since An Chongli has changed his mind, I will grant him his wish.”

"Besides, who knows if giving up this marriage will be a blessing for me? An Chongli is not someone I can entrust my life to. So giving up this marriage is actually a blessing for my granddaughter. After all, a blessed woman doesn't marry into an unblemished family, right?"

“You’re right,” Madam Jiang stroked her granddaughter’s head. “A blessed woman doesn’t go to an unblemished family. My granddaughter is such a good girl, she can’t be ruined by a shameless man like An Chongli.”

"Besides, what kind of good woman can she be who can have an affair with her own elder sister? I want to see how An Chongli and his wife, who are both scoundrels, can live their lives after he actually marries Chunyun."

After seeing An Chongli off, Madam Jiang did not return to Old Madam Jiang's courtyard, but instead went to Aunt Tong's courtyard.

"Chunyun, that's wonderful! Your grandmother has agreed to let you marry Chongli. Chongli said he will send his elders to propose marriage as soon as possible. Just wait patiently," Jiang's mother said with a smile, holding Jiang Chunyun's hand.

“Mother,” Jiang Chunyun said shyly, pulling her hand away from her mother’s. A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes. “Please stop talking. It’s so embarrassing.”

"Look at this child, she's even shy," Madam Jiang said with a smile, looking at Aunt Tong. "Sister! Now you don't have to worry about Chunyun's marriage anymore. I've said it before, as long as Chongli likes our Chunyun, no matter how dissatisfied the old lady is, she won't stop the marriage from being given to Chunyun."

"With the old lady's blessing on Chunyun and Chongli, the weight on my chest has finally been lifted," Aunt Tong said, wiping away non-existent tears. "Sister, you have no idea how restless I've been these past few days because of Chunyun and Chongli's situation. I've even worried the master to death."

Aunt Tong never missed a single opportunity to stab Jiang's mother in the chest. Just look at the envious look on Jiang's mother's face after hearing her words, with an embarrassed smile on her face. Aunt Tong never got tired of looking at such an expression. The more she looked, the more she wanted to look.

Honestly, even Aunt Tong found it unbelievable that Jiang's mother was such a foolish woman.

However, it was precisely because Jiang's mother was foolish enough that Aunt Tong was able to tolerate her, since she had no chance of becoming a legal wife given her background.

Since that's the case, it would be better to let that foolish woman, Jiang's mother, secure the position of the principal wife.

"Master has always doted on my younger sister the most, and seeing her unable to eat or sleep naturally breaks his heart," Jiang's mother said dryly, her obsequious manner making Aunt Tong and her daughter want to laugh.

“Mother, I heard that my sister went to Grandmother’s courtyard,” Jiang Chunyun asked. “Did my sister not say anything? After all, my sister’s feelings for Chongli are quite special. Now that she suddenly knows that Chongli doesn’t want to marry her and that he likes me, his younger sister, she must be devastated!”

“No, not at all,” Jiang’s mother’s expression fell. “That wretched girl knew that Chongli didn’t want to marry her, and she even scolded Chongli and you. But it was only because that wretched girl was willing to give up the marriage to you that your grandmother so readily agreed to let you and Chongli be together.”

"How is this possible?" Jiang Chunyun's expression changed slightly. "Isn't my sister deeply in love with Chongli? I've always seen how much she cares about Chongli since she was little, so how could she not be devastated when Chongli refuses to marry her?"

"Who knows?" Jiang's mother said with a sneer. "Anyway, that brat readily agreed to switch the marriage to you, and she even badly belittled you and Chongli. Fortunately, Chongli didn't hold it against her, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have let her off the hook."

Seeing that her daughter was about to say something more, Aunt Tong quickly said, "Madam, Master said he will be back for lunch today. Why don't you hurry to the kitchen to prepare it now? You know, Master always likes your cooking the most, and even I can't live without your cooking every day."

Although Jiang's mother was foolish, she was an excellent cook. Over the years, even though Jiang's father ate at Aunt Tong's house most of the time, his meals were always made by Jiang's mother.

You could say that Jiang's mother was no different from Jiang's father and Aunt Tong's cook, yet she was so self-satisfied that she didn't see anything wrong with a legal wife cooking for a concubine.
