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

"Yes." Liu Meier suppressed the anger in her eyes, finished speaking, and got up to go outside.

"Miss, do you think that scoundrel Prince Song will come over later?" Cai Tang teased. "After all, with his beloved woman kneeling in the courtyard, it's hard for Prince Song not to know. I wonder how heartbroken he'll be?"

“Yeah! I wonder how heartbroken he’ll be,” Jiang Chunxi said with a mocking smile. “I’m really curious whether that dog of a man, Song Zhende, can stand it and just let his beloved woman kneel outside.”

Song Zhende, who was in the side room, soon learned that Liu Meier was kneeling in the courtyard, so he immediately went to Jiang Chunxi's room.

“Chunxi, I heard you punished Mei’er by making her kneel outside,” Jiang Chunxi had already gone to bed and was about to fall asleep when Song Zhende came in and sat down on the bed to ask, “Did her maid make you angry? Do you feel any discomfort?”

"Cough cough!" Jiang Chunxi coughed twice before saying with a weak smile, "With my frail body, it's just so-so. Even if I'm upset by that girl Mei'er, my health won't be too bad. Husband, you don't need to worry too much."

"That's good, that's good," Song Zhende said, feigning relief. "But Mei'er is always a steady and reliable maid, and you trust and rely on her the most. Why did she upset you for no reason? Don't worry, it might be because someone slandered her and tried to sow discord between you and your maid."

When Song Zhende said this, he looked at Cai Tang and the other two with a suspicious expression.

“What do you mean by that, Your Highness?” Cai Tang feigned a wronged and angry expression. “It was Mei’er who spoke out of turn, and the Princess Consort punished her by making her spend two hours in the courtyard. How did it come to you that we were ganging up on Mei’er?”

“Your Highness,” it was Caiyu’s voice, “It’s fine if you wrong the three of us, but you can’t slander the Princess Consort! Do you think the Princess Consort is such an ignorant mistress who can be easily fooled by her servants?”

"You keep saying how much you love the Crown Princess, yet you think so badly of her. So this is how much you love her."

“Your Highness, there’s one thing you just said that I strongly disagree with,” it was Caiyi’s voice. “How can Mei’er be so composed? Of the four of us, she’s the least composed. She’s just a servant girl who relies on her master’s favor and has no sense of propriety. She dares to say all sorts of presumptuous things.”

"In the past, when the Princess Consort of the Jiang family was too lazy to argue with her, she indulged her. But now that the Princess Consort has married into the Prince of Cheng's mansion, she naturally cannot indulge Mei'er anymore. Otherwise, wouldn't the servants of the Prince of Cheng's mansion laugh at the Princess Consort for not being able to manage her own maid?"

“You…” Song Zhende’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Alright, alright," Jiang Chunxi said. "How dare you speak to the young master like that! In my opinion, it's because I, as your master, have been too lenient with you that you dare to speak to the young master so disrespectfully."

“Husband,” Jiang Chunxi then looked at Song Zhende and said, “I’ve spoiled them all. For my sake, please don’t hold it against those maids, okay?”

"Cough cough!" Jiang Chunxi coughed again. "Although I have spoiled these maids, their loyalty to me is beyond doubt. With my broken body, I am only fortunate to have these loyal maids serving me so diligently. Otherwise, I would probably have been taken by the King of Hell long ago."

Since Jiang Chunxi had already said that, what could Song Zhende say? He quickly patted Jiang Chunxi on the back and said, "I'll listen to you. I won't argue with those maids."

Jiang Chunxi stopped coughing, and a weak smile appeared on her face: "I knew my husband was the best. He would never bear to punish my maid and make me sad. It is my blessing to marry you in this life. That is how I met such a good husband."

“I should be the one saying this,” Song Zhende said, taking Jiang Chunxi’s hand with deep affection. “Being able to marry you is the blessing I, Song Zhende, have accumulated over many lifetimes. Chunxi, we must love each other until we grow old, not only in this life, but also in the next life and the life after that. We must be together as a loving couple that no one envies, not even the immortals.”

“Oh! By the way,” Song Zhende changed the subject, “Since I’ve spared Caitang and the others, you should spare Mei’er too! After all, you need maids to serve you wholeheartedly. If Mei’er is made to kneel outside, then you’ll be missing someone to serve you.”

Jiang Chunxi smiled and shook her head: "Husband, don't worry. Besides the four head maids, including Caitang, I have ten second-class maids serving me. Losing one maid, Mei'er, won't really make a difference. So let Mei'er kneel outside for the full two hours!"

"Sigh!" Jiang Chunxi sighed slightly. "Mei'er's temperament needs to be corrected. After all, this is not the Jiang family. If her maid causes any trouble because of her loose tongue, I, as her mistress, may not be able to protect her. Therefore, I punished her tonight for her own good. I only hope that she can understand my good intentions as her mistress."

"From now on, you must be careful what you say. You must always remember what you should and shouldn't say. Don't act like a servant anymore and say anything presumptuous."

It took a lot of willpower for Song Zhende to keep his face from darkening. He managed a weak smile and said, "Fine, since you've said that, I won't say anything more."

“It’s late,” Song Zhende helped Jiang Chunxi lie down. “You should rest too! You have to get up early tomorrow to serve tea to your father and mother.”

“Then my husband should also go and rest,” Jiang Chunxi said with a guilty look. “It’s all my fault for this weak body. I made you so nervous at the slightest thing. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have punished Mei’er. I should have waited until tomorrow to punish her, so as not to disturb you.”

A flash of resentment crossed Song Zhende's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and he was very confident that Jiang Chunxi would not catch it.

Hmph! You talk a good game, but why don't you, you slut, order someone to get Mei'er up right now?

That's really great!

I always thought that Jiang Chunxi, that idiot, wasn't the kind of person who was harsh on her servants, and that she was a kind and good master. But now it seems that's not the case at all. When that bitch gets ruthless, she's more ruthless than anything else.

It's just a pity for his Mei'er; she'll have to kneel outside for two hours tonight. Song Zhende really wanted to throw a fit for his beauty and just give up the act altogether.
