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

Then, Madam Jiang's eyes reddened: "Chunxi! How could your mother debase herself to that extent? When she was debasing herself like that, didn't she ever think about you and your brother?"

"You two poor children! How could you have met such a mother?"

Yes, Madam Jiang already knew about what happened in the kitchen, which is why she was so angry.

"Alright, Grandmother, please don't be angry anymore," Jiang Chunxi took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears that fell from Old Madam Jiang's eyes. "My mother has been behaving herself like that for more than a day or two. You should have gotten used to it by now. Why are you still so angry?"

“Grandmother doesn’t want to be angry either, but your mother,” Madam Jiang slapped her thigh, “is a terrible person! How can there be such a foolish and incompetent person in this world? She only has men in her eyes and doesn’t care about her children at all.”

"I just don't understand. Your maternal grandfather's family is known for raising excellent children in the capital. How could such an anomaly like your mother emerge?" As Madam Jiang spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer. "Grandma is getting old. I can't even imagine what will happen to you two siblings if I pass away one day."

"With a mother who's not thinking straight and a father who favors his concubine over his wife, his heart is completely biased. If I, as your grandmother, were to pass away one day, it would be fine for you, since you're a girl and will eventually get married. But what will happen to your younger brother?"

"Given your father's biased nature, he probably only wants to give everything in the Jiang family to Aunt Tong's son. Even if he doesn't have that intention, Aunt Tong certainly won't tolerate your brother."

"Grandmother is worried! When I'm gone one day, your brother will be harmed by Aunt Tong. That bitch might get rid of this old man first, since only when I'm gone will there be no one to protect your brother, and then that bitch will be able to make a move on him."

“Grandmother, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old,” Jiang Chunxi wiped away the tears of the old lady with a handkerchief, and then her eyes also turned red. “Alright, Grandmother, please stop crying. Seeing you cry like this makes me really sad, and I can’t help but want to cry too.”

“Yes, Madam,” Granny Qian quickly advised, “What good will it do you to cry like this, except to make Miss suffer as well? For a fool like Madam, you and your granddaughter are going to cry your hearts out. Tell me, is it worth it?”

"I'm not crying anymore, I'm not crying anymore," Old Madam Jiang quickly stopped her tears. "Good child, you should also stop being sad and quickly stop crying, otherwise if you keep shedding tears, won't your grandmother be heartbroken?"

"Okay, granddaughter, don't cry," Jiang Chunxi wiped her moist eyes with a handkerchief. "Grandmother, granddaughter is hungry. Let's go eat quickly! Otherwise, the food will get cold."

Madam Jiang had no appetite! But if she didn't eat, her granddaughter certainly wouldn't be able to eat either, so she could only reluctantly accompany her granddaughter to the meal.

After lunch, the grandfather and grandson drank tea from their teacups.

"Grandmother, could you let me practice running the shop?" Jiang Chunxi explained her purpose. "It's not good to stay at home all day with nothing to do, so I want to take over a shop to practice. That way, when I get married, I won't have to worry about being fooled by the managers of other shops."

Actually, Jiang Chunxi said this mainly to give herself a reasonable excuse for leaving the mansion in the future.

“Alright, Grandmother will let you manage that jewelry shop in the east of the city,” Madam Jiang put down her teacup. “That shop was originally meant to be part of your dowry, so it’s good that you take over it sooner rather than later.”

"Your dowry has been prepared long ago. It is divided into two parts for you and your brother to share equally. The jewelry shop is the most profitable part of your dowry. I gave it to you so that you could have a long-term income in your husband's family and be more confident."

"Sigh!" Madam Jiang sighed, "Who would have thought that An Chongli was such a fickle scoundrel? But it's good that you saw through him in time, otherwise, if you had really married him, who knows what your married life would have been like?"

"Grandma has made up her mind. Once the An family comes to propose marriage and the marriage between An Chongli and Chunyun is settled, Grandma will take you to more banquets so that we can help you find a husband. After all, you are not young anymore, and your marriage cannot be delayed any longer."

"I will follow Grandmother's arrangements," Jiang Chunxi said obediently.

The next day, Granny Qian took Jiang Chunxi out of the mansion to the jewelry shop in the east of the city. Not long after Jiang Chunxi left, An Chongli and his mother and grandmother arrived at the Jiang family.

That's right, An Chongli persuaded his grandfather, so today he couldn't wait to bring his elders to the Jiang family to finalize his marriage with Chunyun.

Madam Jiang was naturally very angry, but she didn't say anything harsh. However, she kept a straight face and didn't smile at all during the marriage negotiations.

This is the garden of the Jiang family.

“Chongli, I really didn’t expect my sister to grant our wish,” Jiang Chunyun said shyly to An Chongli. “From today onwards, I will be your rightful fiancée, and we will finally no longer have to meet secretly.”

“Chunyun,” An Chongli grasped Jiang Chunyun’s hand and said affectionately, “Meeting you in this life is the greatest blessing for me, An Chongli. I promise you that I will treat you well for the rest of my life. If I break this promise, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death.”

“Chongli, please stop talking,” Jiang Chunyun said, stamping her foot shyly. “Can’t I just believe you? Why do you have to make such a vicious oath?”

Jiang Chunyun immediately looked worried: "But Chongli, why do I have this vague unease? I've always seen how much my sister loves you, but she so easily gave up the marriage to me. I heard that she said some very hurtful things to you yesterday."

Jiang Chunyun's eyes immediately welled up with tears: "How could my sister do that? Even if she hates Chongli for changing his mind, she shouldn't insult him! Besides, Chongli has never liked her at all. He has only ever treated her as a younger sister. It's all just wishful thinking on my sister's part."

“If you truly love Chongli, then when you learn that he doesn’t reciprocate your feelings, you should let go and offer your blessings, instead of using such hurtful words to insult him.”

"Anyway, if it were me, and Chongli loved my sister instead of me, I would sincerely wish him well in marrying the one he loves, and pray to God that you and my sister will be happy for the rest of your lives. After all, I love Chongli so much, and I would be satisfied as long as I can see him happy. How could I possibly resent you or insult you?"
