Chapter 3 Being a concubine
Han was clearly trying to embarrass her, and she showed off her silver bracelets and gold earrings without any scruples.
In an instant, the topic shifted from Leng Yan to Aunt Han and her very competitive son.
Seeing Leng Su standing aside, who was looking for a hole to crawl into, Leng Yan started to confront her directly.
"Grandma Han, you just said that your son is some kind of literary star descended to earth, so did he pass the exam and become a scholar this year?
How come it’s almost New Year’s Day and the notice hasn’t been posted in the county government yet?”
"What do you, a fool, understand? My son got a cold this time, otherwise he would have won first place!"
Aunt Han remained calm, as if she had already prepared a speech.
"The teacher said that my son is extremely intelligent. A mere scholar is not what my son aspires to be. Only a top scholar can be a good match for my son!"
"Pfft!"
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone so shameless. Leng Yan really couldn't help it.
"why are you laughing?"
Han slapped the table in dissatisfaction and shouted, "My son is the God of Literature, how can he be laughed at by a fool like you? Aren't you afraid of shortening his life!"
"Of course I'm laughing at your ugly face. What do you mean by the number one scholar? Have you ever seen a scholar who couldn't pass the imperial examination? You are so arrogant! Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue stuck?"
"What are you talking about you little bitch?"
Han was so angry that she stepped forward to grab Leng Yan, but Leng Su took a few steps to protect her behind her, her face stiff, "Auntie..."
"Get out of my way, you little bastard, or I'll beat you up too."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the onlookers hurried out to smooth things over.
Han thought about what she had to do today, so she raised her chin and adjusted her clothes.
"You are a fool, young man. I won't bother with you. I came here in such a cold weather because I have something important to do."
As she spoke, she placed a small silver lock on the table.
"Everyone knows that my son is a master of Tongsheng, and she Lengsu is a motherless child.
The elder brothers at home are also injured, young, and one is missing. How can such a burden to the family be worthy of my son? "
"Han, what do you mean?"
Zhang Cuiniang, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and said in a harsh voice, "My sister-in-law's marriage was arranged by you when my mother-in-law was still alive!"
"Humph."
Han raised his eyelids with a look of scorn and disdain.
"Things are different now, everyone is here today, so I'll speak frankly.
My son was favored by the daughter of Mr. Wang in the city. But the daughter of Mr. Wang cannot be a concubine!
But your family does not have to worry. Mr. Wang's family is rich. If his daughter marries into our family, the dowry will surely be considerable. My family will give your family more betrothal gifts at that time.
Isn't Su Jie'er's second brother's leg injured now? Then he will have money to buy some good medicine and get better soon."
She looked compassionate, but Leng Su felt shaky after hearing that, and Leng Huai rushed out directly from the west room.
"Screw your bullshit betrothal gifts, my sister won't be a mistress. Why don't you look in the mirror and see if you are worthy of her?"
"You...you...you are indeed a little bastard who was born by a mother but not raised by her. Both the brother and the sister are equally ignorant of etiquette..."
"Han, please keep your mouth shut. It is not your turn to talk about the children of my Leng family."
Zhang Cuiniang stepped forward, her face filled with anger.
"I dare not say how competent I am as the second sister-in-law, but I have taught my children since they were young not to bark and spit shit all the time."
"Zhang Cui Niang, why are you being so sarcastic? Who are you calling a dog? How dare you point fingers at me?"
Ever since her son passed the imperial examination and became a student, Han had been flattered wherever she went. Now that she felt her dignity was challenged, she jumped up.
Zhang Cuiniang was on the ground, and she was standing on the kang, and was directly suppressed by her ferocious momentum.
Han was going too far. Zhang Cuiniang was not good at quarreling to begin with, and now she was being shamelessly accused by her. She looked embarrassed and was speechless for a moment.
"This is the mother of Tongsheng. All the books he read must have gone into a dog's stomach. Only a mad dog would throw a tantrum and bark like that."
Leng Yan saw her mother being bullied and said coldly:
"Your son is nothing, and you are nothing. With your son's crooked nose and slanted eyes, you think he is worthy of being my aunt's mistress. How can you be so arrogant?"
"Humph!"
Han threw her sleeves and rolled her eyes, “This is not up to you!
Leng Su, let me ask you, do you agree today?"
Han lost her patience and pointed the finger directly at Leng Su.
"What did Cai... Brother Cai Wen say? Does he know about this?"
Leng Su held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that all this was Han's own decision and that Sun Caiwen was not aware of it.
"My son knows it, so don't be so self-indulgent."
"how is this possible?"
The sudden explosion of humiliation almost made Leng Su unable to stand.
Han said with disdain, "Stop whining here, being your concubine is an honor to you.
My son will surely become a high-ranking official in the future. You, a dead girl, will be able to enjoy the good life with him. What else can you be dissatisfied with?"
Han thought she had discussed the matter with them in a nice manner and given them enough face, but she didn't expect that they would still make trouble with her. It was really unreasonable.
She had a beautiful idea. The Leng family had always been weak. If she was ruthless enough to cancel this mismatched marriage in front of so many people, she, Leng Su, would still have a way to survive in the future.
She felt that she was kindhearted, gave him the position of concubine and saved his face, but she didn't expect the Leng family to be so ungrateful.
Leng Yan rolled his eyes to the sky, glared at Han, then lowered his head and whispered in Leng Su's ear.
"The Sun family is ruthless, what do you think, little aunt?"
"I……"
Leng Su was heartbroken and could not believe that the young man she had loved for many years could be so cruel and heartless.
For a moment, she felt that she might as well be dead.
Maybe if I died I wouldn't feel so much pain and hatred, and I wouldn't feel so humiliated and embarrassed.
Leng Yan saw that something was wrong and hurried to dissuade her.
"Don't be upset, little aunt. It's not your fault. It's not worth it to sacrifice your life for someone like that."
Leng Su was just a thirteen-year-old girl. What could she do facing the harsh feudal society of ancient times?
"Don't be afraid, little aunt, trust me!"
Leng Yan looked at her firmly, "No one can't live without the other. On the contrary, if we leave the scumbag, we should live a better life!"
Facing her niece, whose eyes were naive the day before but now looked firm and reassuring, Leng Su nodded as if possessed by a ghost.
"I believe you!"
After getting the response, Leng Yan stopped pretending. She took a few steps forward, used her little hands to pull Han off the kang with all her strength.
His butt hit the ground, causing Han to scream.
Leng Yan said coldly, "Humph, since your family is so heartless and ungrateful, don't blame my family for not giving you face.
Today I have only two requests, either the two families cancel the engagement, or I will go to your son's academy and make a scene.
So that everyone in the academy would know how great a person Sun Caiwen is, and how rich he is. As a student, he does not study hard, but only does some despicable things like flirting with other girls.
It would also make Sun Tongsheng, who is fickle, has no male ethics, is too proud of himself, and has corrupt personal ethics, a laughing stock for the world to laugh at. "
