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

Chapter 18 The Concubine in the Duke's Mansion

"Yes! That's definitely true," Liu Hanqing was convinced, but tears still fell, "But I really don't want the prince to take a concubine. If I were to arrange a woman for him personally, wouldn't that be digging my heart out?"

"Master," Jiang Chunxi's tears fell, "Although Master will definitely be unhappy if I say this, I still want to say that instead of letting the old lady arrange someone for the prince, it is better for Master to arrange it. After all, the person arranged by the old lady will naturally stand on the old lady's side. With the old lady's support, when the concubine gives birth to a child, she will be so arrogant that she will not take Master seriously."

"Yes, Master," Xichun said, "Would the old lady be so kind as to let you arrange the people to serve the prince? The prince must have fought for this from the old lady, so that you would not be bullied by me in the future."

"And the most important thing is that the master will arrange for someone to serve the prince. As long as you control the other party's indenture, you don't have to worry about the other party escaping from your control. When the other party gives birth to a child, you can still bring the child to your side to raise."

"Isn't there a folk saying about carrying a child? Maybe if you raise a child, you will get pregnant soon."

Liu Hanqing looked back and forth between Jiang Chunxi and the other two. If she really had to choose someone to serve Xiao Lang, she would definitely choose from among her own maids.

The ones Liu Hanqing trusts the most are her senior maids. After all, she brought them from the Liu Mansion to the Duke's Mansion. As for the other second- and third-class maids, they are all slaves of the Duke's Mansion. Even if she can control their indentures, she still feels uneasy!

Among her three maids, Liu Hanqing naturally likes Jiang Chunxi the most. Although she has no choice but to push her own maid out, it does not mean that she is willing to see Xiao Lang's heart being divided.

Chunxi is the least attractive of the three maids, and the prince has a slight dislike for her. And most importantly, Chunxi likes Zhongxin in her heart.

If a woman has someone she loves in her heart, she will naturally not focus on other men. There is no need to worry that she will compete for favor. At most, she will be a tool for giving birth to children, and she will still be loyal to her master.

Yes, although she had to arrange a woman for Xiao Chen, Liu Hanqing could only arrange one at most. She was absolutely unwilling to arrange a few more to serve Xiao Chen.

Therefore, the candidate must be carefully considered, and Chunxi is the best candidate.

"Xichun, Dongling, you guys go out first, Chunxi will stay and serve me." Liu Hanqing wiped her tears and said:

Although Xichun and Dongling were a little confused, they did not dare to ask any more questions and they quickly left.

"Master, have some tea!" Jiang Chunxi handed the brewed tea to Liu Hanqing.

Liu Hanqing took a sip of tea, put the cup down, then looked at Jiang Chunxi and asked, "How are you and Zhongxin doing? It's been two years. Isn't Zhongxin still not enlightened?"

Jiang Chunxi immediately looked depressed: "Master, I really have no confidence. I think Zhongxin is not stupid, but he just has no interest in me."

"Master," Jiang Chunxi was about to cry again, "Am I really that ugly? Otherwise, why does Zhongxin look down on me? It's been two years, even a stone would be warmed by it! But Zhongxin still ignores me. In short, I really have no confidence in him."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Hanqing said angrily, "Zhongxin doesn't like you, that's because he has poor taste, what does this have to do with you?"

"Chun Xi, since Zhong Xin has poor vision, why don't you serve the prince? You are the eldest maidservant beside me, you don't have to start as a concubine, you can be promoted to a concubine."

Jiang Chunxi's eyes widened, her expression was extremely shocked, and she immediately knelt down: "Master, I just want to serve you, I am not lucky enough to be your concubine! Please don't abandon me, otherwise I... I will..."

"Okay, look at how useless you are. You are not willing to be a concubine. What's the matter? Are you so unwilling to serve the prince?" Although she had to choose Chunxi, it would be strange if Liu Hanqing felt good about it.

So after hearing Chunxi say this, she finally felt better.

"No," Jiang Chunxi cried and shook her head vigorously. "In my heart, the master is the most important, and I don't want to interfere in the relationship between the master and the prince. The most important thing is that I can see that the prince doesn't like my appearance. When I first married into the Duke's Mansion with my master, I could see that the prince had a slight dislike for me."

"Master, you should choose someone else! Whether it's Xichun or Dongling, they are more suitable to serve the prince than me. I just want to serve you, and I really don't want to be a concubine!"

"Even if you become my concubine, can't you serve me?" Liu Hanqing said, "Okay, hurry up and get up! Since I chose you, it's because you are the most suitable. If you are really loyal to me, you should not go against my decision. I will tell the prince when he comes back in the evening. If he has no objection, you will be allowed to serve him."

"I...I know." Jiang Chunxi said with difficulty. It can be seen that she really doesn't want to be a concubine.

This of course made Liu Hanqing feel more at ease.

"Okay, you go down first! I want to be alone." Liu Hanqing waved at Jiang Chunxi impatiently.

Although she felt better, it didn't mean that she could now like Jiang Chunxi. When she thought that Xiao Lang would sleep in the same bed with Chunxi, her heart felt as if it was being stabbed by needles, and naturally she couldn't like Jiang Chunxi.

Jiang Chunxi stood up and walked out, and when she came outside, Xichun and Dongling immediately came towards her.

"What did the master say to you? Why are you crying like this?" This was Xichun's voice.

Hearing Xichun's question, Jiang Chunxi couldn't help but shed tears again: "The master wanted me to serve the prince, and said that he wanted to make me his concubine. You know, I don't have that intention at all. I just want to serve the master for the rest of my life, even if I get married, I will still serve the master. But I never thought that the master would want me to serve the prince."

"How could this happen?" This was Dong Ling's voice. "Didn't the master always know that you liked Zhongxin? Why did he ask you to serve the prince?"

"It's because Zhongxin doesn't like me," Jiang Chunxi cried even harder. "It's because Zhongxin doesn't like me that the master wants me to serve the prince. I just can't understand what's wrong with me? Why does Zhongxin just look down on me? If he liked me, the master wouldn't want me to serve the prince."
