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

"No," Jiang Chunxi was naturally going to be angry, "The Crown Prince's Concubine couldn't have punished me on purpose. The Crown Prince's Concubine is such a kind person, how could she have punished me on purpose? She must have been wronged by the old lady, so she couldn't control her anger and took it out on me."

"In short, I absolutely do not believe that the Crown Prince's wife wanted to punish me on purpose because the Crown Prince stayed at my place again last night."

Xiao Chen frowned slightly.

Could it be that he really misunderstood Liu Hanqing? After all, Liu Hanqing didn't seem like the type of person who would do anything vicious.

Although Xiao Chen now hates Liu Hanqing very much, the persona that Liu Hanqing has been maintaining in front of him is still very successful. Even if Jiang Chunxi does not speak for Liu Hanqing now, Xiao Chen will definitely choose to believe in Liu Hanqing's character later and feel that he has wronged Liu Hanqing.

That's why Jiang Chunxi deliberately spoke for Liu Hanqing. She didn't think she could shake the personality that Liu Hanqing had been cultivating in front of Xiao Chen all along.

But even so, she still wanted some interest, and didn't want to suffer in vain.

"Prince, why don't you go and persuade the old lady!" Jiang Chunxi continued, "The old lady always makes things difficult for the Crown Prince's Consort. Now she has even gone so far as to humiliate her. How can the Crown Prince's Consort bear this!"

"What's more, husband and wife are one. When the old lady humiliates the Crown Prince's Consort, isn't she also humiliating the Crown Prince? I am worried that if I don't stop the old lady, I am afraid that she will go too far. The Crown Prince really loves the Crown Prince's Consort so much. Can you really bear to watch the Crown Prince's Consort being humiliated by the old lady all the time?"

"Alas!" Xiao Chen sighed helplessly, "Alright! I'll go see the old lady right now and try to persuade her not to go too far."

"You should rest well. I will rest in the front yard tonight and come to your place tomorrow night."

Given the condition of Jiang Chunxi's knees, Xiao Chen couldn't bother her at night, so she had no choice but to rest in the front yard for the night.

As for going to Liu Hanqing's room, Xiao Chen was absolutely unwilling to do so.

Xiao Chen left Jiang Chunxi's courtyard and came to the courtyard of the Duke's wife.

As for the old Duke...

Oh! The old Duke was not in the Duke's Mansion. He spent most of his time recuperating in the hot spring manor outside the city. After all, he often led troops to fight in battles when he was young and had a lot of illnesses. In addition, in order to make His Majesty feel more at ease, he went directly to the manor outside the city to recuperate and completely leave the center of power.

The Duchess's wife was originally very happy about her son's arrival, but after hearing her son's words of accusation, she was naturally very angry with her son again.

"You... you really won't give up until I'm pissed off to death!" The Duke's wife covered her chest with one hand and pointed at her son angrily, "How did I humiliate Liu Hanqing? Is it wrong for me, as a mother-in-law, to ask her to lose weight? Since Liu Hanqing can't have a child, shouldn't she lose all that fat?"

"After all, I'm already this old. From now on, the responsibility of representing the Duke's Mansion in social activities will ultimately be entrusted to Liu Hanqing. But look at her fat body. If she goes out to socialize with others, she will be laughed at to death. You can afford to lose face, but our Duke's Mansion cannot."

"But I tried my best to persuade her, Liu Hanqing, to lose weight, but she didn't appreciate my kindness as a mother-in-law, and even turned black into white and said that I humiliated her. And you, a brainless person, actually believed her words."

"Oh my! What kind of fate is this? What sin have I committed? Sooner or later, I will be angered to death by an unfilial son like you."

Xiao Chen opened his mouth to say that Liu Hanqing didn't tell him anything, but when he saw his mother was so angry, he didn't give Jiang Chunxi away.

This is the difference between cherishing and not cherishing. Xiao Chen cherishes Jiang Chunxi now, so he naturally considers Jiang Chunxi everywhere. Even if he lets Liu Hanqing take the blame, he doesn't think of defending Liu Hanqing.

"Mother, although your intention is good, you should be more tactful when you speak. Do you think Hanqing will feel good when you speak so directly?" Xiao Chen said dryly:

"Oh! So I, as a mother-in-law, have to coax and worship my daughter-in-law, and must carefully consider every word I say, right?" The Duke's wife said even more angrily, "Who is the mother-in-law and who is the daughter-in-law? According to what you mean, do you want me, as a mother-in-law, to be submissive to Liu Hanqing and worship her like an ancestor, and only then will you, an unfilial son, be satisfied?"

"Get out! Get out right now," the Duke's wife pointed at the door, "If you don't want to piss me off to death, then get out right now. Otherwise, I'll collect your body!"

"Then I will take my leave first," Xiao Chen stood up and said, "No matter how many mistakes I made, they are all my fault. Mother, please don't get angry with me. If I get angry and get sick, I will become an unfilial son."

"Get out." The Duke's wife yelled loudly and even picked up a teacup and smashed it at her son's feet. She really didn't want to see this unfilial son again for a moment.

What could Xiao Chen do? He could only leave helplessly.

"Old Madam, please calm down," Nanny Liu smoothed the Duke's wife's chest, "You said you made yourself so angry, what if you really get hurt?"

"How can I not be angry?" The Duke's wife panted, "I have such an unfilial son. I haven't been angry to death yet. I am lucky enough."

"And that bitch Liu Hanqing is getting more and more hateful. It seems that my good temper towards her over the past few years has made her feel that she doesn't need to take me, her mother-in-law, seriously. She's relying on You Chen'er to pamper her, and she wants to climb over my head, right?"

"The Crown Prince's Consort is indeed hateful enough," Madam Liu gritted her teeth and said, "Madam has been tolerant enough towards her, but she took Madam's tolerance towards her as an indication that she is easy to bully."

"Madam, I think you can't be polite to the Crown Prince's Consort any more, otherwise, the Crown Prince's Consort will really climb over your head."

"But..." The Duke's wife frowned and hesitated, "But you have also seen Chen'er's character. If I really give Liu Hanqing a good show, this unfilial son will definitely come over and tear the roof off my head."

"Since ancient times, filial piety is greater than heaven," said Madam Liu. "The Crown Prince's wife knows that you care too much about the Crown Prince, so she dares to brazenly fabricate bad things about you in front of the Crown Prince. As long as you show your dignity as the wife of a duke and a mother, I will not believe that the Crown Prince can still turn the tables."

"In the final analysis! This man really cannot be spoiled. The prince dares to make you angry again and again for the prince's wife, isn't it because he knows that you spoil him? As long as you show that you will no longer spoil the prince, I will not believe that the prince dares to make you angry again."
