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

“I always knew that Jiang Yaoyang doted on his concubine, which forced Yan, the legal wife, to register the illegitimate daughter under her name. But I never expected that it was Yan who took the initiative to register the illegitimate daughter under her name,” An’s mother’s expression was so complicated, as if she had eaten shit. “Moreover, she even cooked for her husband and concubine, serving her husband and his beloved concubine like a maid.”

"My goodness! Is this even a normal person? Could there be something seriously wrong with her brain? No wonder, no wonder her two children weren't raised by her. I always thought that Yan was forced to leave her children with her mother-in-law to ensure their safety and prevent them from being harmed by the favored concubine."

Jiang Yaoyang is the name of Jiang's father. It is no secret that Jiang's father doted on his concubines. However, it is not unusual for a man to dote on his concubines, so it did not cause any negative comments.

After all, which mistress of a household hasn't encountered one or two troublesome concubines?

But what no one expected was that not only did Jiang's father spoil his concubine to an extreme degree, but Yan's actions were even more outrageous.

“My son also thoroughly understood the situation of the Jiang family and weighed it carefully before deciding to give up Jiang Chunxi,” An Chongli said. “Mother, if I marry Jiang Chunxi, not only will she not be of any help to me in the future, but she may also have stupid offspring. After all, with Jiang Chunxi’s mother’s brain, how good can Jiang Chunxi’s brain be as well as her daughter’s?”

"Don't expect a child born to a woman who isn't very bright to be intelligent, so even for the sake of continuing the family line, my son shouldn't marry Jiang Chunxi."

Mother An nodded: "What you said makes a lot of sense, but you know your grandfather's temperament. I'm just afraid that your grandfather..."

“Mother, don’t worry!” An Chongli said confidently. “Although Grandfather cares a lot about the An family’s reputation, he cares even more about the family’s honor. As long as Grandfather understands the benefits of me marrying Jiang Chunyun, he will definitely agree to me marrying Chunyun.”

"Besides, Madam Jiang has already agreed to give the marriage to Chunyun. As long as the An family cooperates properly, it will not affect the reputation of our An family at all."

“That’s true,” Mrs. An said after thinking for a moment. “Alright then! As long as you can convince your grandfather, I won’t object anymore. But you’d better not be lying to me, otherwise…”

“Mother, how could I lie to you with such words?” An Chongli said helplessly. “After all, if you are willing to investigate, no matter how tight-lipped the Jiang family’s servants are, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to investigate the Jiang family’s situation in depth with your mother’s methods.”

"Hmph! I bet you wouldn't dare," Mother An sneered and glared at her son. "Alright, hurry back to the front yard and wait for your grandfather to come back. I also need to go to your grandmother's yard to tell her about this in advance. Your grandmother is always petty. If I don't tell her about this beforehand, who knows how angry she'll get."

At noon, as soon as Mr. Jiang returned to the Jiang family home, he went straight to Aunt Tong's courtyard. At that time, Mrs. Jiang had already prepared a table full of dishes and was also there with Aunt Tong.

"Master is back!" As soon as Jiang's mother saw Jiang's father, she rushed to greet him and helped him wash his face and hands, behaving exactly like a servant girl.

On the contrary, Aunt Tong sat leisurely on the couch, looking just like a proper wife should.

"This awful weather is getting hotter and hotter. I'm sweating all over, and I feel sticky and uncomfortable." After handing the handkerchief he was using to wipe his hands to his mother, Mr. Jiang sat down on the couch.

"Master, this is some chilled plum soup that I prepared for you. Please drink it to quench your thirst." After handing the plum soup to Mr. Jiang, Aunt Tong looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "Sister, why don't you hurry up and prepare some bath water? Didn't you hear Mr. Jiang say that he was covered in sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable all over?"

"Oh! Right, we can't prepare cold water. Even though it's a hot day, we can't let Master take a cold shower. So, Sister, you should go to the kitchen and boil some hot water yourself! Master will definitely feel more comfortable taking a shower with hot water that you boil yourself. After all, hot water that you boil with love is incomparable to hot water that a servant boils casually."

Jiang's mother glanced shyly at Jiang's father, then went to boil water for him with a sweet and silly expression.

"You!" After seeing Jiang's mother leave, Jiang's father looked at Aunt Tong with amusement and said, "You're really making a fool of Yan Shi now. It's not enough to have her serve us food; now you're even making her boil water. Are you trying to use her as a maid?"

"My lord, don't say such unpleasant things," Aunt Tong said with a coquettish smile. "It was clearly me who was helping Yan Shi to fulfill her love for you. How can you say that I was playing with her? If Yan Shi heard what you said, she would probably stand up for me."

“That’s exactly the kind of thing that idiot would do,” said Mr. Jiang, leaning back on the cushion. “But it’s also because Yan is stupid enough that I can tolerate her.”

"That's right," Aunt Tong leaned coquettishly against Father Jiang. "If it weren't for the fact that Yan Shi is so foolish, not only would you not tolerate her, but I wouldn't be able to either. After all, being your concubine is already unfair enough. If a powerful mistress were to come along, how wronged would I be?"

"My temper was spoiled by you, Master. I can't stand being wronged. In this world, besides you, no one else can make me suffer," Aunt Tong poked Jiang's father's chest. "So, Master, you see how good I am to you. You can't let me down in this life, otherwise..."

Mr. Jiang grabbed Aunt Tong's hand, which was roaming against his chest, and kissed it on his lips: "You ungrateful little thing, don't you know how I've treated you?"

"Don't worry! No other woman in my life will ever be able to win my heart except you. I want to grow old with you, so how could I possibly betray you?"

“That’s more like it,” Aunt Tong said with a smile. “Oh! By the way, Chongli came to the manor today and told your mother about his intention to marry Chunyun. The old lady has already agreed to exchange the marriage for Chunyun, and we are just waiting for Chongli to send his elders to come and discuss the marriage.”

"Mother agreed so easily." Mr. Jiang said in disbelief. After all, given his mother's personality and her love for Chunxi, how could she so easily agree to give the marriage to Chunyun?

"According to Madam Yan, it was the eldest young lady who agreed," Aunt Tong said, her face showing anger. "Madam Yan also said that the eldest young lady scolded Chongli and Chunyun."

"Hmph! What an air of superiority! The eldest daughter of the main wife certainly has some extraordinary confidence!"
