Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

Mr. Jiang felt that things were not so simple.

He had heard that there was a kind of illusion technique in the martial arts world that could make people feel as if they were there and say whatever they wanted to say. He used to think it was just scaremongering, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"No matter what, those little bastards can't be allowed to live any longer!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Old Master Jiang's eyes.

……

……

In the courtyard, Lin Shuyun was about to catch up on her sleep when someone came to her door.

Surprisingly, it was Chen Jingfeng's old butler who arrived.

"Uncle Chen, what brings you here?"

Xiaoqing was a little surprised to see who it was. "What brings you here?"

When the old steward saw that it was Xiaoqing who opened the door, he said with a worried look, "Young Master Xiaoqing, please try to persuade my young lady. She... she really can't think straight..."

I don't know what Miss Ting was thinking, that she would actually want to become someone's concubine.

Young Master Jingfeng refused, and he became extremely suicidal.

After all, she was a child he had watched grow up, and the old housekeeper couldn't just watch her jump into a fire pit. The child had gotten stuck in a rut, and a little persuasion should have been enough.

"Isn't this her own choice? You can't reason with that damned ghost. Why are you blocking her path to wealth?"

Qin Niangzi almost burst out laughing. This Ci Jingjie deserved it; she really thought being a concubine was such a good thing.

She was happy to watch the spectacle.

"Madam Qin, my young lady is a bit willful, but she is still a young girl. I really can't bear to see her go down the wrong path and be trapped in this for the rest of her life. I beg you, Young Master Qing." The old steward lowered his posture considerably.

"Fine, I'll go with you." Xiaoqing reluctantly agreed.

Qin Niangzi originally wanted to say a few swear words, but she held back.

"Where does he get his saintly heart from!"

Qin Niangzi kicked the table and chairs, still feeling unsatisfied.

Lin Shuyun munched on a pear and said, "Auntie, why are you so angry? Everyone has their own destiny. You can't change it just by advising them. Brother Xiaoqing will learn from his mistakes. We can just watch the show from here."

Qin Niangzi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Where did you get these pears? Fine, you'll eat them all by yourself!"

Qin Niang pounced on him and tried to snatch it.

Lin Shuyun dodged left and right, but Old Man Xu chased after her and tried to snatch it.

Meanwhile, Xiaoqing had already followed the old housekeeper into the courtyard.

"Uncle Chen, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I'm already in this state. If I don't marry him, who else can I marry?" Chen Ting cried until her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

A rope was placed in front of them.

What else can she do if she doesn't follow Young Master Jin? She can't possibly marry that Scholar Wang.

Xiaoqing really wanted to curse her for deserving it, but she held back and said, "You need to think this through. Being a concubine is not a good thing. No one who becomes a concubine doesn't regret it."

Hearing Xiaoqing's voice, Chen Ting opened the door.

"Brother Xiaoqing, do you also think I've fallen into depravity? But I've embraced Young Master Jin, so I'm no longer innocent!"

Chen Ting burst into tears as she spoke.

If Jiang Changtian had simply called someone to stop him, she wouldn't have made such a fool of herself.

She didn't understand why Jiang Changtian and Lin Shuyun were so mean to her.

Xiaoqing frowned. "What do you mean by innocent or not innocent? Your brother is still alive. You just need to wait for him to finish his studies and move to another place so that no one will recognize you. Why do you have to be so stubborn?"

Trees move to death, people move to live.

Just like that woman, even the dead can live a prosperous life under assumed names.

Chen Ting lowered her head, "But I've already embraced Young Master Jin, and he's agreed to let me be his concubine..."

Xiaoqing was utterly speechless.

Is she determined to become a concubine?

Xiaoqing didn't want to talk anymore and was just about to leave when the courtyard gate opened, and Widow Wang arrived with a matchmaker.

"What are you doing here?" The old butler asked, noticing that her expression was not good.

Widow Wang got straight to the point, "I've come to propose marriage. This Miss Chen Ting and my son are in love, so I specially chose an auspicious day and invited a matchmaker to come to our door!"

Chen Ting's face turned pale with anger. "You're talking nonsense! When did I ever have feelings for your son? Get out of here! I will not marry Wang Xiucai!"

She only realized later that Wang Xiucai had drugged her, and that's why she was angry when she saw Widow Wang.

“You’re not even innocent anymore, only my son doesn’t mind. If you don’t marry him, who else can you marry? This pretty boy?” Widow Wang looked Xiaoqing up and down.

Chen Ting was so angry her face turned red. "You're talking nonsense! This is my friend!"

The matchmaker, who was on good terms with Widow Wang, immediately said with disdain, "You, a young lady, actually make friends with men. I say, Widow Wang, your taste in choosing a daughter-in-law is not very good. This girl is restless! Marrying her might bring unrest to the household."

Widow Wang said disdainfully, "There's nothing I can do about it since my son likes me."

The old steward shooed them away, saying, "Our young master isn't here. Who gave you permission to send betrothal gifts on your own? Get out of here!"

"Oh dear, I'm trying to be kind and give your daughter some face, but you don't want it. Don't come begging to me when she's pregnant." Widow Wang said, then turned and walked away, flicking her handkerchief.

A number of people at the door heard the commotion and came to watch. So many people heard what Widow Wang said, and they all stared at Chen Ting's belly with shining eyes.

"This man is strangely handsome. Could he be the adulterer? He's so young, yet he's so shameless!"

"This family is from out of town, and men often come and go from their house!"

They were all talking loudly, and Chen Ting felt utterly ashamed.

"What nonsense are you all talking about? I'm not pregnant! Get out!"

Chen Ting chased the people out with a big broom, and could only keep crying.

"Brother Xiaoqing, what should I do?"

Seeing her crying pitifully, Xiaoqing kindly said, "Let your brother come back and rent a place somewhere else. Beijing is a big city, and if you move, no one will recognize you."

"I know it's not good to be a concubine, Brother Xiaoqing, can you marry me?" Chen Ting looked up at Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing thought he had misheard. "What did you say?"

"Please marry me. I don't want to be a concubine, and my brother doesn't agree to let me be one either. He'll agree if you marry me. Please save me." Chen Ting looked at Xiao Qing with red eyes.

Xiaoqing's expression was somewhat complicated, and she decisively shook her head in refusal, "No."

"Even you despise me for not being innocent? But this is clearly not my fault." Chen Ting started crying again.

"That's not the issue, I..."

Before Xiaoqing could finish speaking, a shout suddenly came from behind her.

"You young man, you have quite the nerve!"

The courtyard gate had been opened at some point, and Prince Rui, looking grim, stood at the entrance with his entourage.

Xiaoqing froze the moment she saw Prince Rui, quickly lowered her head, and her heart pounded wildly.

Prince Rui!

Why is he here?

Are they here to take him back to the imperial mausoleum?

"Grandpa, what brings you here? Did you just happen to be passing by and ask for a drink of water?" Chen Ting asked while wiping away her tears.

"I came here specifically to thank you. Why are you crying? If you've been wronged, just tell me, and I'll stand up for you!"

Prince Rui simply stopped by to visit his elder brother's illegitimate daughter.

Seeing her being bullied so pitifully, I was immediately filled with anger.

She was, after all, a princess of the royal family. The retired emperor was so unreliable that he sent her to grow up among the common people from a young age, and now she's living like this.

"Grandpa, you're so kind!" Chen Ting was touched.

I never expected this old man I met by chance to be so kind to me.

Prince Rui felt uncomfortable hearing this man addressing him as "Uncle" repeatedly, and said, "Hey, girl, you should call me 'Uncle' according to seniority. Stop crying. Tell your uncle whether this boy is heartless or not, and your uncle will stand up for you!"

After saying that, he stared at Xiaoqing for a few moments.

He's someone who can't be brought to the table; he's been keeping his head down ever since he came in, and it's obvious he's someone who can't be seen in public.
