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

“This lowly servant is indeed unruly,” Princess Cheng glanced coldly at Liu Meier kneeling on the ground. “Guards! Drag this lowly servant out and give her ten lashes.”

Song Zhende immediately became anxious: "Mother, this is a maid that Chunxi brought from her maiden home. If you treat this maid without going through Chunxi, aren't you slapping Chunxi in the face? How will the servants of the entire Prince Cheng's Mansion view her as the Crown Princess?"

Princess Cheng looked at her son with suspicion. She had a feeling that something was wrong with him. He seemed to be protecting the lowly maid kneeling on the ground.

"My mother was just disciplining that insolent maid for me, how did it become my mother slapping her daughter-in-law in my husband's mouth?" Jiang Chunxi cried again. "Husband, what are you really up to? You're trying to sow discord between us, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. You're digging one pit after another for me, aren't you?"

“Chunxi, no…” Song Zhende was both anxious and angry, and sweat was beading on his forehead. “No, this… what kind of situation is this! I feel like I can’t explain myself, and I feel like I’m becoming Dou E.”

“No, she’s even more wronged than Dou E,” Song Zhende said, then pretended to be angry and looked at Liu Meier. “It’s all your fault, you wretched maid. Hurry up and kneel outside. Don’t just stand here.”

Song Zhende did this to protect Liu Meier. Otherwise, if things continued to develop as they were, Meier would definitely not have a peaceful end today, and it would probably just be a beating.

That's why Song Zhende thought of sending Liu Meier away.

Liu Meier naturally understood Song Zhende's good intentions, so she quickly kowtowed and got up to kneel outside.

Princess Cheng's gaze toward her son grew increasingly suspicious.

Something's fishy going on. There's definitely something fishy going on between my son and that lowly maid.

"Chunxi, stop crying," Song Zhende quickly comforted Jiang Chunxi after Liu Meier left. "Your crying is breaking my heart. It's all my fault, isn't it? I didn't think things through, which is why you're so sad."

"Alright then! I'll never mention 'one love for one person' again, but please don't take the initiative to arrange concubines for me. You know how much I love you, yet you still take the initiative to arrange concubines for me, and on the second day of our marriage no less. Aren't you just stabbing me in the heart?"

"You still dare to talk," Jiang Chunxi said angrily, "but it all boils down to you trying to ruin my reputation, doesn't it? With my broken body, I can't even fulfill our wedding night obligations. Shouldn't I be the one to arrange concubines for you?"

"Let alone asking Mother Consort for two maids to serve you, I have already prepared three beautiful maids from my maiden family to serve you. I was originally hoping to arrange a few more concubines for you so that I could adopt a child and raise him under my name as soon as possible."

"After all, with my body, I am destined to be unable to have my own children in this lifetime, so I can only hope to have a son and a daughter born to my concubines and raise them on my own."

"But you, instead of doing this, suddenly dealt me ​​such a blow. What nonsense about 'one love for one person for life'? You're not only trying to ruin my reputation, but you also want to prevent me from adopting and raising children, so that I won't even have a son to break a basin for me after I die."

"Waaah! Song Zhende, how cruel you are! If you wanted my life, you could have just said so directly. There was no need to dig this pit after pit for me, making me suffer even in death."

Princess Cheng's head was throbbing from Jiang Chunxi's crying: "Chunxi! Zhende truly loves you. Although his way of loving you is wrong, it doesn't erase the fact that he loves you!"

"Not only do you deny his love for you, but you also slander him with extreme speculation. Aren't you afraid of hurting his feelings? The worst thing for a couple is to hurt each other's feelings. After all, no matter how deep the feelings are, there will always be a day when they are broken. If you still care about your relationship with Zhende, then stop speculating about his love for you with such malice."

“Chunxi,” Song Zhende said with a heartbroken look, “I have truly been devoted to you! You could say we’ve been childhood sweethearts. You can doubt my character, you can doubt my personality, even everything, but you can’t doubt my love for you!”

"Your assumptions about me make me..."

“You still have something to say,” Jiang Chunxi interrupted Song Zhende, “given what you’ve done and what you’ve said, how can I not speculate about you?”

"Song Zhende, how come I only realized this today? I feel like I've never really seen you for who you are."

Song Zhende almost lost control of his anger and burst into rage, but he managed to suppress it: "Fine, fine, it's all my fault, okay? My goodness, please stop crying, otherwise if you cry yourself sick, you'll not only take my life, but how am I supposed to explain this to my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

“Explain,” Jiang Chunxi said, wiping away her tears. “When my father and mother come to the mansion, you should explain things to them properly! I want to see how you will explain your talk of being one with one person for life to my parents. After all, even I think your words are a trap for me, a way to harm me. I don’t believe my father and mother would actually believe your nonsense.”

Princess Cheng felt her head was about to explode: "Chunxi..."

“Mother, please stop talking,” Jiang Chunxi interrupted Princess Cheng. “I know that as your mother, you will naturally speak up for your son, but you can’t completely ignore the grievances in my heart!”

"Don't you think about it? If I were really confused and blinded by the prince's words about one love for life, how would you ever hold your grandson?"

“You need to understand that you only have this one son, and he is the only heir in the entire Prince Cheng’s Mansion. If he is allowed to act recklessly, wouldn’t the Prince Cheng’s Mansion be doomed to extinction?”

"So, whether the Crown Prince truly loves me and doesn't want concubines, or he's really scheming against me, this matter can't be easily forgotten. Who knows what other tricks the Crown Prince might pull in the future?"

"Waaah!" Jiang Chunxi cried again. "With my frail body, how can I withstand one trick after another that the young master pulls? Even though I'm sickly, I still want to live a few more years!"

“Song Zhende,” Jiang Chunxi said angrily, “tell me the truth, are you eyeing my dowry and planning to torment me to death as soon as possible so you can seize my dowry.”

"But don't you think about it? If I don't have any children, my dowry will have to be returned to my family after I die. If you really want my dowry, then hurry up and take a few more concubines and have them give birth to children under my name so I can raise them. Instead of just thinking about making me die as soon as possible."
