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

“I do admire Jiang Chunyun,” Jiang Chunxi said with a smile. “To be honest, with Jiang Chunyun’s decisive and ruthless heart, if she were a man, she might really have achieved great things.”

"It's just a pity! Jiang Chunyun underestimated her brother's position in Aunt Tong and Jiang Yaoyang's hearts, and overestimated her own position in her parents' hearts."

"If Jiang Yaoyang and Aunt Tong are convinced that An Chongli deliberately murdered their son, then Jiang Chunyun will definitely be implicated as well."

"Heh! Just wait and see! Jiang Chunyun will pay a heavy price for what she did today."

Mr. Jiang did not return until late at night.

"Master," Aunt Tong rushed to greet Mr. Jiang as soon as she saw him, "How is it? Is there any news about Heng-ge'er?"

“No,” Father Jiang shook his head dejectedly, “but don’t worry, I will definitely find Heng’er. I’ll find him alive or dead, no matter what I do.”

"I want to see him alive or dead!" Aunt Tong's legs went weak. If Father Jiang hadn't caught her in time, she would have collapsed to the ground. "Heng'er, my son! You must not be hurt, or how can I live!"

“Master,” Aunt Tong gripped Jiang’s arm tightly, “we’re going to the An family now and have An Chongli hand over Heng’er.”

“Alright, I’ll go to the An family right away,” Jiang’s father said with a fierce look in his eyes. “If An Chongli doesn’t hand over Heng’er, I will go to the Dali Temple to sue him and have the Dali Temple detain him for investigation.”

Immediately afterward, Father Jiang released Aunt Tong and went out again. The arrival of Father Jiang caused unrest throughout the An family, and all the masters of the mansion came to the front hall.

"I didn't, I really didn't," An Chongli was almost going crazy in the face of Jiang's father's interrogation and threats. "Uncle, you watched me grow up. Don't you know what kind of person I am? So how could I deliberately harm Heng'er?"

"Besides, what good would it do me to harm Heng-ge'er? I would be crazy to poison my future brother-in-law."

"What benefits?" Father Jiang sneered. "Of course, it's for the resources of my Jiang family. You know very well that I only care about Chunyun and her brother. Everything in the Jiang family will eventually fall into Heng'er's hands. That's why you deliberately want to get rid of Heng'er. Without Heng'er, the only child I care about is Chunyun."

“An Chongli, you had better hand over my son now, or I will not only report you to the Dali Temple, but also beg the Emperor to do justice for me.”

“Nephew Jiang, you must have evidence to back up your words,” said Old Master An. “You have no proof whatsoever. On what grounds do you say my grandson harmed your son? Unless you can produce evidence, don’t even mention asking the Emperor to intervene on your behalf. I, too, will ask the Emperor to intervene on behalf of my grandson.”

“Evidence,” Mr. Jiang sneered, “My son got lost because your grandson took him out. It’s so obvious, what evidence do we need?”

“You…you’re just being unreasonable,” came Mother An’s voice. “What do you mean your son got lost because my son took him out? Don’t forget about your daughter! Your own daughter didn’t take good care of her brother and let him get lost right under her nose. Why should you blame my son?”

“Let me tell you, Jiang Yaoyang, don’t push your luck. My An family is not some small, insignificant family that you can bully at will.”

"You want to report this to the authorities? Fine! Tomorrow, our two families will go to the Dali Temple together to report this to the authorities and let the Dali Temple give my son justice and give you a good scolding for being such a troublemaker."

“Yaoyang! Our family understands how you feel right now, but you can’t slander my son like this!” This was the voice of An Chongli’s father. “Even if my son really wanted to get rid of your son, he wouldn’t use such a clumsy and shallow method. The children raised by my An family are not so brainless.”

"Ha!" Father Jiang sneered, "Your An family certainly wouldn't raise such a brainless descendant. The reason why An Chongli dared to so blatantly harm my son is simply because he was certain that, based on normal reasoning, he was the least suspicious. After all, if a normal person wanted to harm someone, why would they let the person they wanted to harm die at their hands?"

"Enough!" Old Master An roared. "Jiang Yaoyang, do you really think the An family is easy to bully? Let me tell you, if you have any evidence, then go ahead and make a scene. See if you want to take it to the Dali Temple or report my grandson to the Emperor. The An family will fight to the bitter end."

“But if you don’t have any evidence, then don’t make trouble and spout nonsense in my An family. Just like my daughter-in-law said, my An family is not some small family that would be afraid of your Jiang family.”

"Someone come here! Show the guest out."

"Fine, fine, then we'll see how things go between our two families." With that harsh remark, Mr. Jiang turned and left.

After watching Mr. Jiang leave, Old Master An looked at his grandson with a gloomy face: "This is the marriage you insisted on getting. If you had just fulfilled your marriage agreement with Jiang Chunxi instead of insisting on marrying Jiang Chunyun, would this have happened today?"

Honestly, Grandpa An now regrets having his grandson change his marriage arrangements. If his grandson had married Jiang Chunxi, this terrible thing wouldn't have happened.

As for whether his grandson really intended to harm Jiang Yaoyang's son, Old Master An had no doubts whatsoever, because he firmly believed that his grandson was not so foolish as to get himself involved in the plot to harm a five-year-old child.

"What a disaster!" That was the voice of Madam An. "That Jiang Chunyun is a scourge. Look at what's happened since Chongli got engaged to her. It's been one thing after another. It hasn't been long since the last incident, and now this has happened again."

"If you ask me, this marriage should be called off as soon as possible! Otherwise, Chongli's future will probably be ruined by that scoundrel Jiang Chunyun."

“Mother, you can’t neglect your other grandchildren just because you favor Chongli,” said the second daughter-in-law of the second branch of the An family. “Chongli changed his marriage, replacing the eldest daughter of the Jiang family he was supposed to marry with the second daughter. Although this matter has not caused a great uproar, those who know about the marriage agreement between our two families will definitely murmur a few words behind our backs.”

"Therefore, if we ask Chongli to annul the engagement, wouldn't that make us a laughing stock, and who knows what kind of bad rumors might spread?"

“That’s right,” came the voice of the third wife of the third branch of the An family. “First, they broke off the engagement with the elder sister and changed the marriage to the younger sister. Now that the betrothal has been made, they want to break off the engagement with the younger sister. Anyone would accuse our An family of being treacherous and cunning, and of doing anything shameless to destroy the engagement with the Jiang family.”

"By then, what reputation will our An family have left in the capital? What good marriage prospects will the younger generation in the family have?"
