Chapter 255 Doting on concubines and destroying wives
The Crown Prince of Guangping has a childhood sweetheart cousin, but the cousin's status is too low and she does not have the resources to support the Crown Prince, so the relationship between them is not favored by the Marquis's wife.
A pair of truly affectionate lovebirds were torn apart alive. The prince was forced to marry the daughter of Marquis Xinyang out of filial piety. On the wedding night, the prince stayed in his cousin's room. The next day, he forced his wife to drink the concubine's tea.
The Crown Prince's wife was also resourceful. Although she did not succeed in alienating the Crown Prince and his concubine, she still managed to get pregnant. She thought that by giving birth to the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion, she could secure her position as the Crown Prince's wife.
As long as she is alive, I will still be a concubine and will never be able to appear in public.
However, things don't go as planned. The Crown Prince's wife died in childbirth, leaving two lives lost.
Because the calendar of the Yong Dynasty stipulated that concubines could not be made the principal wife, the prince and the concubine did not expect that the prince's wife would die less than two years after her marriage. If they had known this, they would have waited a little longer and finally they could have waited until the day when she became the principal wife.
Less than a year after the Crown Prince's wife passed away, the Marquis's wife found a second wife for the Crown Prince, who was the original owner. The original owner's family background was not prominent, but she was from a merchant family and had a lot of wealth. Her dowry could support ten marquisates, which was a very good deal for Marquis Guangping.
After the original owner got married, her husband didn't love her, her concubine provoked her, her mother-in-law made things difficult for her, and her sisters-in-law mocked her. She suffered all the hardships that the original wife had suffered, and she also suffered the hardships that the original wife had never suffered.
The Guangping Marquis's family spent her dowry while making things difficult for her at every turn. Her husband favored his concubine over his wife and didn't give her any face at all.
In the end, the prince and the concubine actually wanted to poison the original owner, seize the original owner's dowry, and establish an image of a wife-killer. They were willing to ruin their own reputations and did not want a third person to appear between them.
The love between the two used the original owner as a stepping stone. Without the original owner, the two loved each other peacefully for a hundred years. Although Qiao Xin'er was a concubine, she enjoyed the treatment of a wife.
……
When Zhang Shan arrived, it had been three days since she married into the Marquis' Mansion, and she had not seen the Crown Prince in these three days.
"Madam, today is the third day of the Spring Festival, and the prince is still with Aunt Qiao. What should we do?"
Zhang Shan didn't think it was a big deal.
"Are you sending someone to check if the prince is sick?"
Being sick and unable to go back with her is also a good excuse, of course, it doesn't have to be an excuse.
Just make it happen.
Zhang Shan went in to change her clothes and drove all the maids out before sneaking to the residence of the prince and Aunt Qiao.
The two of them were sleeping soundly in each other's arms. Three days of marriage was a great bargain for them.
Zhang Shan did nothing but move the beams of the room. In less than three minutes, Aunt Qiao's room collapsed. The beams fell and broke the prince's two thighs.
"Madam, Aunt Qiao's room collapsed. When the prince was carried out, his legs were covered in blood. Is the prince dead?"
"My poor wife, you have just been married for a few days and you are going to be a widow!"
The wet nurse was crying and Zhang Shan thought she was really going to be a widow.
But it doesn't matter. Being a widow in life is almost the same as being a widow in death, but it seems better without a mortal man.
"The mansion hasn't started hoisting the white sails yet, and the prince won't die for a while. Nanny, please send a message to my parents, saying that the prince is ill and can't come back, and ask them not to wait any longer."
"it is good."
"It's just that today is the day you return home. How could the prince choose this day to have an accident? It's really unlucky."
Although the words coming out of this mouth were unpleasant to the ear, they were particularly in line with Zhang Shan's wishes.
"Nothing, the prince's safety is the most important."
Zhang Shan put away the jingling jewelry on her head and replaced it with a jade hairpin that was plain yet elegant.
"Ma'am, are you wearing too plain clothes?"
"We are here to visit a patient, not to mourn. Will the prince be unhappy if he sees us?"
"The prince may not even wake up yet, and he can't see it, so how can he not be happy?" Zhang Shan wanted to go to the funeral right now.
The nurse thought it made some sense, but she also felt like something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"By the way, where's Aunt Qiao?"
The nurse said she had forgotten something, and called in the maid who had just said she was going to get some information, "How is that little trotter named Qiao? Is he dead?"
"Aunt Qiao was just frightened."
The nurse said with a sullen face, "She is so lucky. Why didn't God smash her to death?"
Zhang Shan knew that the wet nurse would be hated if she went out with such a mouth, so she kept her in the yard to sort out the original owner's dowry. Now the original owner's dowry was still in her hands, and Madam Hou had not even started to take anything.
The maid helped Zhang Shan to the prince's courtyard. There were people surrounding the courtyard. When she arrived, the court doctor was already there.
"How is the prince?"
No one paid any attention to Zhang Shan, but she didn't care. She squeezed into the crowd and took a look at the prince. She saw that his face was pale, his lips were tightly pursed, and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.
There is no Ma Fei San now, so the prince can only endure it.
"This won't do, Prince. Hurry up and pry open his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue." The old doctor took out a stick and tried to pry open the Prince's mouth, but failed no matter what he did.
"Come over and help!"
The crowd gathered around again, and Zhang Shan was pushed aside and walked out of the house.
After a while, the doctor exclaimed, "Oh no! The prince bit his tongue."
Perhaps it was too painful, so the prince bit off his tongue. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the doctor gave him a few injections to stop the bleeding and save the prince's life.
However, the prince not only had difficulty walking, but also had difficulty speaking.
The Marquis's eyes were red from crying. "My poor son, why is your life so miserable?"
When the Marquis heard the news, he rushed back. After learning that his son had become disabled, he was coaxed away by the concubine.
"Bitch, you only know how to seduce people. My son has become what he is today, it must be the mother and son's plan."
The Crown Prince and the Marquis are both infatuated. The father and son are emotionally connected. They favor their concubines over their wives. No one knows how many times they have been impeached by the censors, but neither of them has real power. No one is a deterrent to them, and the matter is eventually dropped.
The Marquis' wife, who had nowhere to vent her anger, saw Zhang Shan doing nothing and immediately became furious. "It's all because of you, this unlucky star. How come nothing happened in the mansion before you got married?"
Zhang Shan didn't dare to admit this and immediately retorted, "Mother, you can't say that. Before my daughter-in-law came, things weren't all good in our house. You see, the former prince's wife died, and you can't blame my daughter-in-law for that."
"You dare to talk back to your elders? Is this the upbringing of the Zhang family? It turns out that the daughters of merchants are uneducated. I shouldn't have married you in the first place!"
"If mother is not satisfied with her daughter-in-law, she can just divorce the prince. With mother's foresight, she will definitely be able to find a wife of equal status for the prince."
"You, you, you are so ungrateful. Seeing my son become like this, you want to leave?"
"Want to divorce? No way!"
"Then the daughter-in-law really doesn't understand why her mother is dissatisfied?"
Zhang Shan had an innocent look on her face. Mrs. Hou couldn't argue with her so she pretended to faint. When she fell, Zhang Shan reached out to catch her and immediately called a doctor to give her two injections.
The speed was so fast that Mrs. Hou had no time to react.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"Zhang, do you want to murder me?"
"My daughter-in-law is worried about her mother's health. How can it be said that she is murdering me? Look, you are awake now, aren't you?"
Is she waking up? She is in so much pain that she has to wake up.
"The doctor is still here. If your mother has any illness, don't be afraid to seek medical attention. Seek treatment early so that she can recover sooner."
"You cursed me?"
Mrs. Hou was furious.
"You are just a daughter of a small merchant, and you dare to curse your mother-in-law? Be careful or I will let my son divorce you!"
"Daughter-in-law's wish!"
"When my daughter-in-law saw my mother fainting all the time, she thought she had some serious illness. What do you think, Aunt Lin?"
Aunt Lin is the Marquis' true love. After coaxing the Marquis away, she quietly came back to watch the fun. When Zhang Shan called her name, she nodded subconsciously.
"You... you!"
Then, the Marquis's wife fainted again.
Obviously, she really fainted this time.
When the marquis's wife was carried away, Zhang Shan saw the prince inside, and Qiao Xiner who was sitting next to him and wiping her tears.
"Doctor, how is the prince?"
The old doctor wiped the sweat off his head and said carefully: "Your Highness's legs may not be able to walk in the future. As for his tongue...Your Highness doesn't want to open his mouth, so I'm afraid it can't be reattached."
"Just do your best, doctor." Zhang Shan said sympathetically.
At this time, Zhang Shan's gaze shifted to Qiao Xiner again.
"Did Aunt Qiao get hurt?"
When Qiao Xin'er saw Zhang Shan, she showed disgust in her eyes and did not intend to reply. Instead, the doctor beside her responded, "Aunt Qiao is fine, she just got frightened. She will be fine after drinking some tranquilizing soup."
"Then I'll trouble you, doctor."
Zhang Shan asked someone to send the doctor out. She looked at the prince who had fainted from the pain, walked forward and poked his wound with her hand.
The prince groaned, but did not wake up.
Qiao Xiner was anxious, "What are you doing?"
"It turns out Aunt Qiao can talk. I thought it was Aunt Qiao, not the prince, who bit off his tongue."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Qiao Xiner protected the prince and glared at Zhang Shan coldly.
"Nothing, I just think you two are true love, you must be together in the future!"
Qiao Xiner frowned. She was good-looking and her frown gave her a kind of fragility that made people want to protect her.
After visiting the prince, Zhang Shan returned to her own courtyard and began to pack her dowry. She locked up the dowry before the marquis's wife could react.
The original owner brought most of the Zhang family's wealth with him, which was a terrifying amount of money. Not only was the Marquis's wife jealous, but even the noble Marquis and the Crown Prince were tempted.
There is no other place safer than one's own space. The people brought by the original owner are not particularly smart. They can be fooled by Madam Hou and Zhang Shan.
After the dowry was transferred, Zhang Shan was no longer afraid. She was now the prince's wife and was well-known in the outside world, relying on the power of the marquis's mansion.
During the period when the prince was recuperating, Zhang Shan was invited to attend many parties. Originally, she was called there to be seen as a joke, but with Zhang Shan's abilities, she quickly made many friends.
"How is your son?"
"Much better. I've been busy lately. Thanks to Aunt Qiao for taking care of me, otherwise the prince wouldn't have gotten better so quickly."
"Qiao is a vixen. You should be careful about this. The guy before suffered a lot from her."
"That's right. Since the prince is much better now, you should give birth to a child as soon as possible. With a child, we women will have more confidence."
They all knew that Zhang Shan came from a poor family and could only use children to consolidate her position.
"That's what I was thinking. My mother-in-law has been keeping a tight rein on the household expenses. If I didn't have a child, I wouldn't feel comfortable living in this mansion."
Zhang Shan didn't just play around during this period. She also looked for many young men who were suitable to be the father of her children.
That night, Zhang Shan went to visit the prince with some soup. The prince was disgusted when he saw Zhang Shan.
He felt that Zhang Shan was full of money and was not worthy of him. She was also greedy for power and interfered in the relationship between him and Xin'er. He disliked Zhang Shan much more than his original wife.
"What are you here for?"
The prince's tongue was broken, so he couldn't speak clearly. It took Zhang Shan a long time to figure out what he meant.
"I heard that the Marquis has already planned to submit a petition to appoint another heir. What will you do then, my lord?"
"impossible!"
In fact, the prince also understood that his biological father favored his half-brother more. After he was deposed, his father would surely be eager to give the throne of prince to his favorite son.
In order to retain the position of the Crown Prince, the Marquis's wife also made efforts, which was to let the Crown Prince give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible. With a legitimate grandson, the Marquis would not be able to make a concubine's son the Crown Prince.
The prince had obviously thought of this, so he was carried to Zhang Shan's courtyard by her men without resistance.
As soon as the prince was carried in, he became drowsy and fainted. In his sleep, he seemed to hear the sounds of lovemaking between a man and a woman, but no matter how he struggled, he could not wake up.
This went on for three days until Qiao Xiner escaped from the courtyard and took the prince back.
The prince didn't know that after he left, there was always someone sleeping in Zhang Shan's bed.
Three months later, Zhang Shan became pregnant. Mrs. Hou was happy because she finally had a grandson.
But Qiao Xin'er was not happy at all. There was someone else between her and the prince, and that person even gave birth to the prince's son.
She wanted to get rid of the child, but the prince disagreed, so they had an argument and ended up fighting.
"Madam, this is bad, Aunt Qiao has stabbed the prince!"
"Is the prince dead?"
"I didn't see it carefully. I will go back and check her breathing."
Zhang Shan stretched out her hand to Erkang, but still failed to stop the maid.
After a while, the maid came back panting, "The prince is dead!"
"My lady will go and take a look!"
The wet nurse couldn't wait to help Zhang Shan out of the house. On the way, they met the marquis' wife. The marquis' wife was about to curse, but when she saw Zhang Shan was two-month pregnant, she swallowed the curse back.
The two men came to the prince's courtyard one after the other. The prince was lying in a pool of blood with his eyes wide open, obviously dying with his eyes open.
Qiao Xin'er hid in the corner and trembled, "I didn't mean to do that, I didn't mean to do that, it's not my fault..."
"My son!"
"You bitch, you killed my son. If I had known I would never have taken you in. You deserve it. You are the unlucky one for your father, mother, wife and children!"
The marquis' wife rushed over, grabbed Qiao Xin'er's hair, and started beating her.
"Bitch, I want you to pay for my son's life!"
The Marquis's wife has gone mad now. She took the knife that stabbed the prince to death and also stabbed Qiao Xiner to death.
Zhang Shan couldn't help but frown when she saw this. It wasn't because she couldn't bear to watch it, but because it was a bit nauseating in the early stages of pregnancy.
She quickly fled the scene and returned to her own courtyard, "locking all the doors and not allowing anyone to open them."
Mrs. Hou had gone mad with murderous intent. The woman's temper after losing her son was very terrible. If Zhang Shan had not been pregnant with her "grandson", she might have been the next to die.
The Marquis's wife went on a killing spree, not only killing Qiao Xin'er, but also the Marquis's favorite concubine and illegitimate son, and finally died together with the Marquis.
Zhang Shan drove all those parasites out of the mansion, and Zhang Shan was the only real owner of the mansion. From then on, she indulged herself in revelry every night and no one cared.
Xiao Qingfeng was born as Marquis of Guangping. She seemed to have no father, but she had a lot of adoptive fathers, all of whom were the products of her mother Xiaoyao.
"Mom, who among them is my father?"
"They are all your fathers!"
Xiao Qingfeng curled his lips, thinking that Zhang Shan was just fooling him.
Zhang Shan really didn't lie to him.
