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

Chapter 5 The Concubine in the Duke's Mansion

"But..." Liu Hanqing said hesitantly.

"Master, I know what you are worried about," Jiang Chunxi said, "Aren't you worried about gaining weight? But compared to having an heir, gaining weight is nothing. What's more, the prince loves you as a person, not your skin. Even if you gain weight, the prince will still love you as his life."

"Besides, even if you gain weight, it doesn't matter. You can lose weight after you give birth to the little prince. Although the prince loves you, and I believe that his love for you will never change, you still need a son! Only when you give birth to a son can you truly gain a foothold in the Duke's Mansion."

"Otherwise, no matter how much the prince loves you, he will eventually take a concubine for the sake of his offspring. After all, the Duke's Mansion only has the prince as his son. The prince can't let the Duke's Mansion be extinct just because he loves you!"

"You're right," Liu Hanqing was convinced by Jiang Chunxi's words, "I was wrong before. I was only concerned about not ruining my image in front of the prince, but I forgot that children are a woman's confidence. What's more, the prince loves me so much. I believe that no matter what I become, the prince will love me as before."

Jiang Chunxi's mouth corners slightly raised.

Really? Then she wanted to see if Xiao Chen, the scumbag, would still treat Liu Hanqing like the apple of his eye when she got fat and ugly.

Not long after Liu Hanqing finished speaking, Xiao Chen came back.

"Xiao Lang." As soon as Liu Hanqing saw Xiao Chen, tears started flowing again as soon as she opened her mouth.

"What's going on?" Xiao Chen hurriedly stepped forward to Liu Hanqing's side, then looked at Jiang Chunxi and the other two with a gloomy face. Of course, he was mainly targeting Jiang Chunxi.

After all, he couldn't help but wonder whether this bitch had told Han Qing what happened last night.

"Xiao Lang, this is not about those maids, but... but..." Liu Hanqing covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looking like she couldn't say any more.

Xichun quickly recounted what had happened in the morning, and even added fuel to the fire, with the main point being that a Crown Prince's wife had suffered great injustice at the hands of the Duke's wife.

Xiao Chen was relieved. He just didn't need to let Han Qing know about what happened last night. Of course, he was also very angry. "Mother is becoming more and more unreasonable. I'm going to go talk to her right now."

"Xiao Lang, you can't do that," Liu Hanqing hurriedly grabbed Xiao Chen's arm, "Mother doesn't like me in the first place, and I rejected her request. Who knows how angry she must be at this moment? If you go and argue with her, won't she hate me as her daughter-in-law even more?"

She just wanted to flatter the prince, but she had no intention of letting him vent his anger now. Otherwise, who knows how the old woman would make things difficult for her again.

"Yes! Prince," Jiang Chunxi said, "The old lady doesn't like the prince's wife in the first place. If you go to the old lady to argue with her now, I don't know how the old lady will torture the prince's wife in the future."

As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi complained, "The old lady has so many servants and maids around her, but she still asks the Crown Prince's Consort to serve her breakfast every morning. The Crown Prince's Consort is weak to begin with, and she has to stand for more than half an hour every day to serve the old lady. If this continues for a long time, how can the Crown Prince's Consort bear it?"

If Liu Hanqing wants to settle the matter peacefully, that depends on whether she is willing to do so. After all, she is still hoping that Xiao Chen will go to the Duke's wife and make a big fuss right now.

Xiao Chen, who deeply loved Liu Hanqing, was naturally furious after hearing Jiang Chunxi's words. Regardless of Liu Hanqing's obstruction, he immediately went to settle the score with his mother.

Seeing Xiao Chen leave angrily, Liu Hanqing was so angry that she glared at Jiang Chunxi and said, "Kneel outside and think about where you went wrong."

Jiang Chunxi's expression was one of disbelief at first, and then she went out and knelt obediently. The main point was that she had to do whatever her master said, even if she didn't know where she was wrong, but the master asked her to kneel outside, so she had to kneel obediently.

Xichun and Dongling wanted to plead for Jiang Chunxi, but seeing the angry look on the Crown Princess' face, they could only shut their mouths.

Anyway, the master is a kind-hearted person. I believe that it won’t take long before Chunxi is spared from punishment.

But Chunxi was not wrong in what she said just now! The Crown Princess had suffered a lot of injustice from the old lady, and Chunxi was just speaking up for her master. How could she be wrong in the eyes of the Crown Princess?

When Xiao Chen went to the Duke's wife's place, he had a huge quarrel with her as expected, which almost pissed her off to death. It also made her hate Liu Hanqing even more and she wanted to kill her.

When Xiao Chen returned to Liu Hanqing, Jiang Chunxi was still kneeling outside.

Xiao Chen's eyes dimmed, and he walked straight into the house, past where Jiang Chunxi was kneeling.

Liu Hanqing had already asked the servants to prepare lunch and was waiting for Xiao Chen to come back for dinner.

She took the handkerchief from the maid and handed it to Xiao Chen to wipe his hands. Then she asked worriedly, "You didn't quarrel with mother, did you? You said you did too. Mother didn't like me in the first place. Now, I guess mother must hate me to death."

"Don't worry, I'm here, mother won't dare to do anything to you." Xiao Chen changed the subject and said, "By the way, why did you let the maid kneel outside? Did the maid outside make you angry? If so, you should just beat her to death instead of just making her kneel."

The reason why Xiao Chen said this was that he knew very well that Liu Hanqing was kind-hearted and would never agree to beat a servant to death, not to mention that the servant was her personal servant who had served her since she was a child.

"If that girl hadn't been so talkative, the prince wouldn't have gone to his mother in anger," Liu Hanqing said, "I spoiled that girl too much, which is why she is so outspoken. That's why I made her kneel outside as a punishment to teach her a lesson, so that she won't cause any bigger trouble in the future."

"Okay, let's not talk about that maid anymore, let's eat quickly," Liu Hanqing said as she personally served a bowl of soup to Xiao Chen, "This is the old duck soup that I specially asked the kitchen to stew. It's very nourishing, you must drink two more bowls."

"Oh, right," Liu Hanqing looked at Xichun and ordered, "Xichun, go get Chunxi to get up! She's been kneeling for quite a while, I think Chunxi knows she's wrong."

"You! You are just too kind." Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled helplessly. At the same time, he felt relieved. After all, he wanted that little goblin to serve him well at night.

"Isn't it good to be kind?" Liu Hanqing said with a sweet smile, "Good deeds will be rewarded. It is because I have a kind heart that I have such a good fortune to be favored by the prince and to have such a good husband as him."
