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

“Go ahead,” Song Zhende said quickly.

“I can’t even share a room with you with this body, let alone give you children,” Jiang Chunxi said. “So I will arrange for you to have several concubines to serve you, and you must make sure your concubines have children as soon as possible.”

“If this concubine has a child, your eldest son and eldest daughter, Song Zhende, must be registered under my name and raised by me.”

“That’s only right,” Princess Cheng quickly said before Song Zhende could even reply. “Chunxi, didn’t you just want my two maids to serve Zhende? I’ll send them to you later. Both of them are fertile and should be able to conceive soon.”

Actually, the two maids were originally prepared by Princess Cheng for her son. In ancient times, it was perfectly normal for a mother-in-law to give her son a concubine; any wealthy family would do this.

In addition, given Jiang Chunxi's sickly health, Princess Cheng had no expectation that she could conceive. Therefore, she had to prepare a concubine for her son to continue his lineage as soon as possible.

Song Zhende wanted to refuse, but how could he have other concubines? After all, he had promised Liu Meier that he would never have a third woman in his life besides Jiang Chunxi.

Moreover, he was hoping that the children Mei'er would give birth to in the future would be registered under Jiang Chunxi's name, so how could he want to see Jiang Chunxi adopting a child born to another woman?

But Song Zhende also knew that in the current situation, there was no way he could refuse, otherwise Jiang Chunxi would have been speculating about him even more.

"Chunxi, I'll do whatever you say," Song Zhende said, feeling frustrated. He could only appease Jiang Chunxi for now. As for Mei'er, he believed she would understand him.

However, the child Jiang Chunxi wanted to adopt had to be born to Mei'er, so he had to find a way to prevent other women from giving birth to the child.

"Since you've said you'll listen to me, then in addition to the two maids my mother gave you, you should also take in the three maids that my family brought to prepare for you. Starting tonight, you should work hard to continue your lineage so that I can adopt a child as soon as possible."

A sense of humiliation rose in Song Zhende's heart.

Why does he seem like a stud pig?

“Since Chunxi has said so, then our Jiang family will not hold today’s matter against her,” said Jiang’s father. “However, this is not a one-time exception. If there is a next time, then our Jiang family will take our daughter back. Even if we cannot divorce, we can simply let our daughter live in the estate that was part of her dowry, and live separately from you, Song Zhende.”

"You should know that this marriage was not arranged by our Jiang family begging your Chengwang Mansion. If it weren't for you, Song Zhende, my daughter's health would not have been ruined, and we would not have been able to betroth her to you. Although your Chengwang Mansion is related to the imperial family and has a prince's title."

"But you, Song Zhende, are really not worthy of my Jiang family's precious daughter. So you, Song Zhende, had better think it over and not have any ulterior motives. Otherwise, even if you are my son-in-law, so what? After all, my Jiang family's precious daughter doesn't need to depend on a man to live."

This was a blatant threat from Jiang's father. Although he didn't know what Song Zhende was plotting, so what? If Song Zhende dared to scheme against his daughter, then he, as the father-in-law, had no reason to be polite to him.

The expressions on the faces of Song Zhende and his family of three were indescribable. After all, it's no wonder they looked unhappy after being threatened and disliked like that to their faces.

"Although I don't know what you're planning to do to my daughter," came the voice of Jiang's mother, "listen to me, Song Zhende, if anything happens to my daughter in your Prince Cheng's Mansion, then our Jiang family will fight you to the death."

"You should know that Her Majesty the Empress dotes on her niece Chunxi the most, not to mention His Highness the Crown Prince also cherishes his cousin Chunxi. So no matter what you, Song Zhende, are planning, I advise you to put away your little schemes and turn back before it's too late."

"Your son-in-law wouldn't dare," Song Zhende could only say.

Very well, very well indeed. Those two old bastards from the Jiang family don't give him any face at all, crushing his face as their son-in-law to the ground.

Just wait, one day he will not only take Jiang Chunxi's life, but also bring the Jiang family to their doom, to avenge the humiliation they have inflicted on him today.

After giving their daughter some more instructions, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang left the Prince Cheng's residence.

After they left, Jiang Chunxi returned to her courtyard.

"You scoundrel!" As soon as Jiang Chunxi left, Prince Cheng slapped his son across the face. "You have completely disgraced the Cheng Prince's Mansion today. How come I only found out today that the son I raised is such a romantic?"

Immediately, Prince Cheng looked at Princess Cheng with displeasure: "Look at the good son you raised! What nonsense about 'one love for one person for life'! If this wicked brat were to say such things, wouldn't the whole capital laugh at our Prince Cheng's mansion?"

“Tell me,” Prince Cheng then kicked his son, “what exactly are you plotting? Are you really after Jiang Chunxi’s dowry? But if you want to take advantage of that sickly woman’s dowry, shouldn’t you first have her adopt a child?”

"Furthermore," the Prince Cheng grew angrier as he spoke, "how can a man of seven feet tall be so short-sighted, only eyeing Jiang Chunxi's dowry? You should know that the main reason we were able to marry into the Jiang family is because of their influence in the court, so that you can be favored by the emperor and have a place in the court in the future."

Indeed, Prince Cheng did not believe his son's words about a lifelong commitment to one person, and felt that his son was plotting something. This was what puzzled Prince Cheng the most. After all, what benefit could his son gain from plotting against Jiang Chunxi now? Even if he wanted to plot against Jiang Chunxi, he should wait until he had squeezed all of Jiang Chunxi's usefulness out of him before he started plotting.

Shouldn't the most urgent task be to try to please Jiang Chunxi so that she can persuade her parents to help their son, who is their son-in-law, advance his career?

Stupid, utterly stupid.

How come Prince Cheng only realized today that he had raised a foolish son?

“Zhende! Now that things have come to this, are you still not going to tell me and your father the truth?” Princess Cheng looked at her son with displeasure and said, “Don’t tell me that you are really a romantic and want to be with Jiang Chunxi for life.”

"I do indeed wish to be with Chunxi for life," Song Zhende naturally couldn't tell the truth. After all, telling the truth would mean revealing Liu Meier's identity, and if that happened, how could Father and Mother spare Meier's life?

“I have been engaged to Chunxi since I was a child. Our childhood sweetheart relationship has made me determined to spend my life with only her and I do not want any concubines to stand between us and affect our marital relationship.”
