Chapter 17 The Concubine in the Duke's Mansion

"Even if I beg you for your mother, even if it's for me and your father, you can't just stay with Liu Hanqing, a woman." The Duke's wife couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. "I must have done something wrong in my previous life, otherwise how could I have given birth to such an evil person like you."

"If Liu Hanqing could give birth to a child, I wouldn't say anything. You can be a love-struck person if you want! But the problem is that Liu Hanqing simply can't give birth to a child. She's so fat, and even the doctor said that her body has been restored to normal, but it's useless. There's no movement in her stomach at all."

"Anyway, I don't expect Liu Hanqing to give birth to a child. If you don't want to piss me and your father off to death, then quickly take a concubine to continue the family line for our Duke's Mansion. Otherwise, you'll be an unfilial son who forces your parents to death."

To be honest, the Duchess really wanted to knock open her son's head to see what was inside.

It was understandable that my son liked Liu Hanqing in the past. After all, there was no man who wouldn't like Liu Hanqing's pitiful looks and slender figure.

But ever since Liu Hanqing got fatter and fatter, now she is as fat as a pig, but her son is still obsessed with Liu Hanqing, which makes her really confused.

You know, she had stopped taking Liu Hanqing out to socialize with people a long time ago. After all, she really couldn't afford to lose face.

So how did the son do that? He could still be so fond of Liu Hanqing even though she was fat and ugly. Didn’t he feel disgusted or ashamed?

"Alas!" Xiao Chen sighed helplessly, "My son is unfilial. Mother knows how much he loves Han Qing, and she even promised her that we would be together forever, but..."

"Forget it, forget it," Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and helplessly, "Although my son does not want to break his oath, Han Qing is indeed unable to give birth. My son cannot be unfilial to his parents for Han Qing's sake."

"There are three unfilial acts, and having no offspring is the worst. I don't want to become a sinner in our Xiao family, but..." Xiao Chen looked at his mother, "Regarding the selection of concubines, I hope Han Qing can arrange it. After all, she is my legitimate wife. Even if I want to take a concubine, it should be arranged by my wife."

The Duke's wife's face turned ugly. What was he guarding against her? As a mother, wasn't it normal for her to find a few concubines to serve her son?

But this unfilial son would not be happy unless he made things difficult for Liu Hanqing, and he would not be happy until he made her angry.

Although she was very angry, the Duke's wife didn't say anything else.

What else can she say?

What's more, her son finally agreed to take a concubine, so she should be grateful. So no matter how unhappy she was, she had to hold it in.

As soon as Xiao Chen left, the Duke's wife immediately asked someone to call Liu Hanqing over.

"The daughter-in-law pays respects to mother." As soon as she entered the door, Liu Hanqing immediately bowed to the Duke's wife.

When the Duke's wife saw Liu Hanqing's fat body, her expression was full of disgust!

Because Liu Hanqing was fat, the Lady of the Duke had not asked her to serve her meals for a long time. Every day when Liu Hanqing came to pay her respects, she would let Liu Hanqing leave as soon as possible, because she really didn't want Liu Hanqing's ugly appearance to hurt her eyes.

"You have been married into the Duke's Mansion for three years," the Duke's wife said, "but there is still no sign of pregnancy. Especially since your body has recovered, is your pregnancy still not going well or not?"

"I have given you three years. I can say that my patience has been exhausted. Since you cannot have children, let others do it. Arrange a few maids to serve Chen'er immediately. If you don't want to arrange it, I will arrange it. Don't dream of cutting off the heirs of our Duke's Mansion. Otherwise, I will kill you, a vicious woman, even if it means that Chen'er hates me as a mother."

"Hmph!" The Duke's wife looked disdainful. "With your father's position as a fourth-rank official, if I really kill you, your family won't dare to say a word, so I advise you to be sensible, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

Liu Hanqing turned pale, the hatred in her heart almost devoured her reason. She bit her tongue to prevent herself from losing her mind: "It's my daughter-in-law's fault. I will arrange someone to serve the prince as soon as possible."

"You're smart enough," the Duke's wife showed a mocking expression, "Okay, then go and make the arrangements! Don't say one thing and do another. You talk better than you sing in front of me, and then turn around and try to make fun of Chen'er."

"Oh!" The Duke's wife sneered, "Of course, it's useless even if you try to flatter Chen'er. After all, Chen'er agreed to this matter. Don't you look at how ugly you are now? Plus, you can't have children. Do you really think my son is still infatuated with you?"

"People! It is important to know yourself. Otherwise, you might fall hard one day and become a laughing stock for others to laugh at. You may even die without knowing how."

Liu Hanqing was so devastated that she was almost on the verge of collapse.

She didn't believe it. She didn't believe Xiao Lang would agree to take a concubine. She didn't believe that this matter was decided jointly by Xiao Lang and her mother-in-law.

But at the same time, she knew in her heart that if her mother-in-law dared to say that, it meant that she was not lying.

Why, why is this happening.

She could reluctantly accept that she had to let Xiao Lang take a concubine because of her mother-in-law, but she could not accept that Xiao Lang also had the idea of ​​taking a concubine.

Could it be that Xiao Lang really was disgusted by her ugly appearance and no longer loved her?

Liu Hanqing was supported by Xichun and Dongling, and returned to the yard where she lived in a distraught state.

"What's going on?" Jiang Chunxi asked anxiously, "Is the Madam making things difficult for the Master again? Otherwise, why is the Master in this state?"

"Stop talking. You have no idea how annoying the old lady is." Xichun told the story again with red eyes.

"How could this happen?" Jiang Chunxi's eyes also turned red. "Master, you must cheer up! You must believe the prince. Even if the prince agrees to take a concubine, it must be because the old lady forced him to do so. Maybe the old lady is using you to threaten the prince. After all, you have been married to the Duke's Mansion for three years without any children. The old lady can use this reason to force the prince to divorce you."

"Is this really the case?" Liu Hanqing looked at Jiang Chunxi blankly and said:

"That's definitely the case," Dong Ling said. "Don't you know how the prince feels about me? Even if he really wanted to take a concubine, he would have discussed it with me in advance instead of going to the old lady. So it must be the old lady who threatened the prince with you, and the prince had no choice but to agree to take a concubine."
