Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good
Chapter 87 Daily Life of the Marquis's Mistress
The prince of the Marquisate, Xie Yixiao, falls in love with Wang Zihan, a prostitute.
For her, he spent a fortune just for a smile from Bo Mei. In the end, for her, he spent tens of thousands of gold to redeem her and arranged for her to live in a separate courtyard.
The two people's love was as strong as gold, and it became a legend in the capital.
How could the Xie family tolerate a prostitute entering the house? So Madam Xie quickly arranged a marriage for Xie Yixiao, and decided to marry An Jing, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Justice.
An Jing was not favored in the An Mansion. Ever since her mother caught her father having an affair with someone else, breaking their lifelong promise to be together, she died of depression, holding her hand and saying,
"Don't hate your father. You should take advantage of his guilt towards me, live well, and let him find a good marriage for you in the future."
An Jing disagreed: "Can you live happily if you marry a good man? Love is the most useless thing in the world, power is."
On the day An Jing married Xie Yixiao, the groom didn't even lift the veil. He just said, "My mother wants to marry you, not me. I already have a lover. I can give you the title of the Crown Prince's wife, but don't dream of anything else!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The maidservant beside her, Fuqin, stamped her feet in anger, "Miss, the prince is too bullying!"
An Jing took off her veil and said, "It's okay. Go get some food and we'll go to bed after we finish eating."
The next morning, she went to pay her respects to her parents-in-law. They were very understanding and gave her the ancestral jade bracelet as an apology.
When the prince came back, he scolded him again and asked for family discipline.
An Jing stopped her parents-in-law and said, "It's natural for the prince to have someone he loves. I'm the unlucky one. Since the prince has a special liking for that woman, she will have a bad reputation outside. It would be better to bring her into the mansion. This way, the reputation of the mansion can be preserved."
Xie Yixiao: "Stop being so hypocritical! I know you women love to be jealous. Are you planning something again?"
An Jing: I'm just being hypocritical, but do you have any evidence? Who cares if you take a concubine or not? I'm the Crown Prince's wife anyway, and I'll be the Marquis's wife or the Grand Madam in the future. Concubines and concubines, don't they all have to rely on me for food?
However, the Marquis's wife thought An Jing was very sensible and scolded her son again.
Unexpectedly, the brothel girl was a time traveler who always wanted to be with someone for the rest of her life. That would have been fine, but she actually instigated Xie Yixiao to rebel, and in the end, his three clans were implicated.
An Jing: Damn it, can't you just live a good life? Why do you have to act like this? And you're dragging me into this too.
Ginger asked, "Do you want to take revenge on your own, or do you want me to help you?"
"I'll do it myself"
"Okay. I'll give you some cheats. And let Duoduo accompany you."
This day is when newlyweds serve tea to their parents-in-law.
When An Jing proposed to take Wang Zihan into the Marquis' Mansion, Xie Yixiao looked at her nonchalantly with disdain, "Are you so kind? Let me tell you, Zihan is different from you women in the harem. She has the world at heart!"
An Jing was furious and sternly retorted, "My Lord, yesterday at our wedding, you disobeyed our parents' wishes and abandoned me to hang out at a brothel. Today, at the tea ceremony with the elders, you might not have come if your mother-in-law hadn't sent someone to invite you. How is this behavior any different from being disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous?!"
Xie Yixiao: “You!”
An Jing continued, "You said Zi Han has the world in her heart. What does a prostitute like her need the world for? You can take this as a joke, but if someone with ulterior motives hears it, it could bring disaster to the Marquis's Mansion! Bringing her in is also to prevent future troubles."
Xie Yixiao was about to say something when the Marquis’s wife angrily interrupted him, “Your wife is right. This is the future candidate who can take charge of the Marquis’ Mansion. She will return home in three days, and you must accompany her back! If you dare to bully her, watch out for your hide!”
Then she handed the key to the warehouse and the cards to An Jing, "From now on, you will be the master of the mansion. Mother believes in you, you will definitely do well."
An Jing was obedient: "Thank you for your trust, Mother! If I don't understand something, I will ask you for advice."
To be honest, if the Marquis's wife and the Marquis had not been so nice to An Jing, making her feel the trust and warmth she had not felt in many years, she would have been so cruel as to drag the entire Marquis's Mansion with her to be buried with them.
Watching his mother and daughter-in-law chatting happily, Xie Yixiao asked: How is this different from what they say about the tit-for-tat relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Xie Yixiao found Wang Zihan.
"What? You want me to be a concubine?! And let me be trapped in the backyard like those women?"
Looking at Wang Zihan who jumped up, Xie Yixiao advised her, "You know that you come from a poor family. Even if I spend money to redeem you, your family will never agree to let you be the legal wife because you have no family background."
Didn't you always say that as long as you're willing to be with me, you don't care about status? My heart is with you, that's all that matters."
Wang Zihan never imagined that one day her words would rebound upon her. This boomerang stung her so much that she hesitated for a long time before finally speaking unreasonably and confidently, "How can it be the same? Tell me, do you not love me anymore? Is that why you want me to be your concubine?"
"It's not that I want you to be my concubine, but it's not good for you to be nameless and without any status like this, right? Besides, although I'm married, I spent my wedding night at your place. Until now, I haven't even touched her. Do you think I love you or not?"
Wang Zihan was secretly delighted: This man still loves me the most. No matter how much Xie Yixiao tried to persuade her, or even swore, he still refused to enter the mansion.
An Jing: How can I eat melons without going into the mansion?
Then she sent a little maidservant with an unfamiliar face to run to Xie Yixiao's villa to whisper to him.
"Do you know? There's a new concubine named Lan in the mansion. She grew up serving the prince."
"No way? The prince is deeply in love with our concubine, how could he possibly lift her up again?"
"Really. Concubine Lan has always had a crush on the Crown Prince. It turns out the Marquis's wife wanted her to be a maid first, and then, when the Crown Prince got married, she would be promoted to a concubine. Today is a good day, and the Crown Prince's wife gave her a lot of silver as a reward."
When Wang Zihan heard this, he was furious and rushed into the mansion to find An Jing.
Seeing An Jing pruning the branches as if nothing had happened, he became even more furious.
"How can there be a woman like you in this world? Taking the initiative to find a woman for your husband?"
"Excuse me, young lady, who are you?"
"Stop pretending! I don't believe you don't know that I am Xie Yixiao's favorite!"
An Jing stretched out her words, "Oh. So it's Miss Wang. I'm the Crown Prince's wife, the mistress of the household. It's my responsibility to provide for my husband's children. But Miss Wang, you're not from the Marquis' Mansion, so what qualifications do you have to meddle in its affairs?"
Wang Zihan choked, "As expected, a mistress is a mistress, not presentable! To win favor, she'll resort to any means."
"What did you say?"
"I said you are a mistress!"
"What is a mistress?" An Jing asked seriously, as if she didn't understand.
"A mistress is two people who are in love, with a third person in between! Xie Yixiao and I are in love with each other, but he doesn't love you, so you, the one who is not loved, are the mistress!"
An Jing was not angry. "Oh, so that's how it is. In the past, Aunt Lan served the prince, and the two of them were also very affectionate. It's just that later the prince met you and distanced himself from her. So, you are the mistress!"
"you!"
Wang Zihan stomped his feet in anger and turned to run away.
"Stop! Miss Wang is neither from the Marquis' Mansion nor invited by the Mansion, so it's best not to come here. Goodbye!"
Wang Zihan got angrier and angrier after she returned. Xie Yixiao had been busy with official duties these past two days and had no time to visit her, which made her worry again, wondering if Xie Yixiao had changed his mind.
After waiting and waiting, Xie Yixiao finally finished his work and went to see her as soon as possible.
Wang Zihan threw himself into Xie Yixiao's arms, crying and telling her about his longing for her, and then he wrote a poem.
What is "Red beans may be consumed, but lovesickness never ends."
What, "I can't stop shedding my tears of longing, throwing away red beans, and the endless spring willows and flowers fill the painting building."
Xie Yixiao was deeply moved. When he heard that she was willing to return to the Marquis's residence, he immediately picked a good day and sent her there, making her a concubine. He also promised that after she gave birth to a son, he would make her a wife.
As soon as Wang Zihan settled into the Marquis's residence, he started a scene with Aunt Lan. An Jing punished both of them and finally calmed them down.
Wang Zihan threw a tantrum, "I don't accept it! Everyone is equal, what right do you have to punish me?"
"Just because I'm the wife of the prince of the Marquisate!"
"You ancient people, trapped in the backyard, know how to fight with each other every day, and rely on men every day to survive. You die for a man, how pitiful!"
"Oh. Then why did Concubine Han make such a fuss today? Wasn't it for the favor of a man?"
"I!" Wang Zihan choked again, "I'm different from you! The prince and I are truly in love!"
"Noble Concubine Han, I want to ask, what makes you different from others? Do you come with a dowry when you marry in?"
"No, so what? We just have love, we don't need material possessions!"
"I married into the family with land and property, all the food, clothing, and daily necessities from birth to death, even including a coffin. These are the foundation of my life. Even if I don't have the love of the prince, I can live a good life without spending a penny of the marquis's money.
What about you? Aren't the clothes you wear and the food you eat and drink all provided by the Marquis' Mansion? When the Crown Prince dotes on you, you're a treasure. If he doesn't dote on you, what's the difference between you and a weed?
So, you are the one who depends on men! You are the one who cannot live without men! "
Wang Zihan:!!
He left angrily.
An Jing was too lazy to pay attention to her. As long as she didn't make trouble in front of her and didn't delay her from eating melon, it was fine.
Wang Zihan lost his confidence and kept lowering his bottom line for Xie Yixiao. Little did he know that the bottom line was meant to be broken.
At the beginning, she was determined to be the legal wife, but who knew that Xie Yixiao would marry someone else; even if Xie Yixiao had never touched the prince's wife, he had married her, and she would never have the chance to be the legal wife again.
Later, regardless of the rumors, she lived in the other courtyard, thinking that as long as she did not enter the rear house, she would be different and would keep him thinking about her;
Later, when she heard that he had taken a concubine, she began to panic, fearing that the man would not want her. She lowered her bottom line again, went into the backyard, and started fighting with other women.
She thought she had sacrificed a lot for Xie Yixiao, so when she talked to him, her catchphrase was "I can do anything for you".
"I've given so much for you, how could you do this?"
Fortunately, Xie Yixiao still had feelings for her and doted on her in every way. He spent almost all of his monthly salary on her, and even took an advance.
Until one day, Wang Zihan saw the pregnant Aunt Ru walking past her, wearing a set of gold headdress given by An Jing, and immediately asked Xie Yixiao for it.
Xie Yixiao rubbed his temples with a headache, "Wait for a while, okay? I don't have much money right now."
"No money? How could you be penniless? Tell me, did you spend your money on other women?"
Xie Yixiao finally couldn't stand it anymore. "Don't you know whether I've spent it on others? Every month, I either buy you jewelry or make you new clothes. For this, I even borrowed money from my colleagues.
Zihan, can you also understand me? You have no income, and your monthly salary is only a few taels. My salary is not enough for you to spend. Can we save some money? "
"Okay, so you're disgusted with me for spending money now? Back then, you spent a fortune on me. There were so many good stories about us circulating in the capital. How did you have money back then?"
Thinking of this, Xie Yixiao wanted to beat his past self to death, "That money belongs to the Marquis' Mansion. My mother was in charge of it back then. Now An Jing is in charge of the Marquis' Mansion. I can't ask her for money and say it's for another woman, right? What will Aunt Lan, Aunt Ru and the others think?"
"Okay, you want to spend money on other women?"
Xie Yixiao looked at the unreasonable Wang Zihan and said, "Can you please be reasonable? When did I say I was spending money on others?"
The two had a big fight and parted on bad terms.
An Jing: How long has it been? Has love already worn off? What's this about love being stronger than gold, mutual affection, and being full of love? This is just everyday life.
The two people were in a cold war for several days.
One day, Wang Zihan was about to leave the mansion through a dog hole, and Duoduo quickly reminded her, "An Jing, that Wang Zihan is leaving the mansion. She will run into the Second Prince today, and she will be fooled by him in the future and drag Xie Yixiao into rebellion! Stop her quickly!"
So, Wang Zihan, who had just crawled out of the dog hole, looked up and saw a row of people, and was captured and taken back to the Marquis' Mansion.
An Jing took her to see the Marquis's wife. Coincidentally, the Marquis was also there.
An Jing asked Duoduo to give the couple her memories of her past life.
After the couple realized what was happening, they were furious, "Rebellious son! Bring him here quickly!"
Xie Yixiao did not admit to following the Second Prince and only said that they just drank together.
The Marquis and his wife, because he was their only son, did not dare to spoil him no matter how much they spoiled him normally. They simply tied him up, beat him until he was bloody, and sent him to the farm to fend for himself.
He told everyone that he had a sudden illness and quit his job.
Wang Zihan was beaten to death with sticks.
An Jing went to the manor to see Xie Yixiao. Seeing that he looked haggard and thin, with a pale face and thin body, she was very satisfied. All her efforts were worthwhile.
Before leaving, Xie Yixiao was still crying and begging, "An Jing, Madam, please go back and ask my parents to let me go back! I can't stay here any longer! These dogs and slaves don't take me seriously at all. They don't give me enough food every day. I only eat rotten steamed buns and leftovers. If this goes on, I will die! You must ask my parents to save me!"
After returning, he saw that the Marquis and his wife seemed to have aged several years, so he no longer asked about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion and left it all to An Jing.
As for An Jing's father, who followed the Second Prince, An Jing didn't remind him. He just watched him suffer the consequences of his own actions.
Fortunately, he was not the most involved, but he still ended up with his entire family being executed.
An Jing: The days of having money, power, and free time, but not having a man, are so wonderful!
