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

The Duchess's wife really disliked Liu Hanqing, so it was a torture for Liu Hanqing to come and pay her respects to the Duchess's wife every day.

In fact, what Liu Hanqing called suffering was just serving the Duke's wife with breakfast. It was normal for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law with breakfast, but in Liu Hanqing's eyes it was an immense suffering.

There's nothing she can do about it. It's Xiao Chen's fault for pampering her too much. This woman becomes pretentious because she is pampered by her husband.

After finishing her breakfast, the Duke's wife took the tea handed to her by Liu Hanqing and rinsed her mouth. She then took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid and wiped her mouth. Then she spoke: "It has been a year since you came into the family, but there is still no good news from your pregnancy. There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring."

"We only have Chen'er, the only male heir in the Duke's Mansion. You can't let me and the Duke be unable to have grandchildren just because you can't give birth. If you are really a virtuous woman, then you should take the initiative to select a few maids for Chen'er to serve, and when she gives birth to a child, you can promote her to a concubine."

Seeing Liu Hanqing's face turn ugly, the Duke's wife raised her lips slightly and continued, "You are the legal wife. No matter how many children the concubines give birth to in the future, they will all be your children. For a noble family like us, jealousy is the worst thing to do."

"Besides, since Chen'er dotes on you so much, you can't just watch Chen'er guard you childlessly! If you really have to be jealous, how can you be worthy of Chen'er's sincerity towards you?"

It wasn't that the Duke's wife didn't want to choose a few maids for her son, but her son didn't want to! Because of this, her son had a big fight with her.

So what can the Duke's wife do? She can only start with Liu Hanqing. Otherwise, how long will she have to wait before she can have a grandson? If Liu Hanqing cannot give birth, then she will forget about having a grandson.

The Duchess was naturally aware of the difficulty Liu Hanqing had in having children, and that was why she disliked Liu Hanqing even more.

Liu Hanqing is only the daughter of a fourth-rank official. Her family background is not worthy of the Duke's Mansion. In addition, it is difficult for her to have children. Not to mention the Duke's Mansion, even an ordinary official family would not marry a daughter-in-law like her.

But her son insisted on marrying Liu Hanqing. After Liu Hanqing came into the family, she made her suffer a lot because of Liu Hanqing. For various reasons, the Duke's wife could be said to hate Liu Hanqing to death.

Of course, because of her son, no matter how much the Lady of the Duke hated Liu Hanqing, she didn't dare to do anything to her. As for the torture, the most she could do was to let Liu Hanqing serve her meals, nothing more.

Otherwise, that unfilial son of mine would cause a big fuss again.

Liu Hanqing's lips turned pale with anger. "I don't dare to make decisions for the prince. If the prince wants to, I will immediately select a few maids to serve him. But if the prince doesn't say anything, I really don't dare to make decisions on my own."

This damn old woman actually wanted her to take the initiative to choose a maid for Xiao Chen. She had to wait for Xiao Chen to come back and see how she would flatter this old woman.

The Duke's wife's face darkened: "Well, well, well, you are really very good. You rely on Chen'er to protect you, so you can even ignore me, your mother-in-law?"

"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare." Liu Hanqing said timidly, like a little white flower that was being bullied, which made the Duke's wife so angry that her forehead hurt.

"Get out, get out now." The Duke's wife held her forehead with her hand and said angrily:

Since she could leave, Liu Hanqing naturally would not stay and continue to suffer, so she bowed to the Duke's wife and left with Xichun and Dongling.

"Madam, why are you so angry?" Nanny Liu came behind the Duke's wife and massaged her temples. "You know what kind of person the Crown Prince's wife is. You are always angry like this, which is exactly what the Crown Prince's wife wants."

"Seeing you're so angry, who knows how happy the Crown Princess must be?"

"Do you think the Duke and I did something wrong in our past lives? Otherwise, how could we have such an unfilial son?" The Duke's wife said weakly, "Liu Hanqing dared not take me, her mother-in-law, seriously. In the end, it was because of the confidence given to her by that unfilial son Xiao Chen."

"What an unfilial son. He doesn't care whether he will make his own mother angry to death for the sake of a woman. If he wasn't my only son, I would really want to kick him out."

"Okay, Madam, the prince is still young, so he can't understand your painstaking efforts," said Madam Liu. "In two years, the prince will understand your painstaking efforts. By then, if you want to find a few concubines for the prince, it will be up to you. After all, as long as you are a man, who doesn't value offspring!"

"The Crown Prince still loves his Consort now. But in two years, if he can't give birth to a child, it will be strange if he still loves his Consort so much. Maybe he will be more anxious than Madam by then, and will be eager to take a concubine."

"Oh! I hope so!" The Duke's wife sighed and said, after all, she really couldn't do anything with her son now, so she could only think about the bright side.

As soon as Liu Hanqing returned to the yard where she lived, she started crying.

And this crying never stops. After all, she has to do the whole act. If she doesn't make herself miserable, how can she please that damn old woman in front of Xiao Chen?

Jiang Chunxi slept until almost noon before she came to serve Liu Hanqing. When she saw Liu Hanqing's red and swollen eyes, she immediately exclaimed, "What's wrong with the Crown Prince's Consort? Why are your eyes so red from crying? If the Crown Prince saw this, he would be so heartbroken."

"And you two," Jiang Chunxi looked at Xichun and Dongling dissatisfiedly, "How did you serve her? You saw the Crown Prince's Consort crying, and you just let her cry without any words of persuasion."

"We tried to persuade her!" Xichun said helplessly, "But it's useless to persuade her. But it's all the old lady's fault. If she hadn't said that, the Crown Prince's Consort wouldn't have felt so bad and wouldn't have cried non-stop as soon as she came back."

Then Xichun told the whole story.

"It's all my fault," Liu Hanqing said tearfully, blaming herself, "If it weren't for my bad body..."

"Master, you must not say that," Jiang Chunxi consoled him, "The doctor only said that it would be difficult for you to have children, not that you cannot get pregnant. As long as you take good care of yourself, and the prince dotes on you so much, there will definitely be good news soon."

"Really?" Jiang Chunxi's words could be said to have comforted Liu Hanqing's heart.

That’s right, as long as she takes good care of herself, and with the prince doting on her so much, there’s no doubt that she won’t be able to get pregnant.

"Of course it's true," Dong Ling said quickly, "Master, as long as you follow the doctor's advice and take good care of yourself, there will definitely be good news soon."
