The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Chapter 522: The Scheming Black Lotus Daughter Vs the Noble and Arrogant Prince 49

Jing Anzhi told her to wait for him to return home and he would give her an explanation.

What explanation? Could it be that he stayed in Lanyue Pavilion last night?

Jiang Nanqiu had trusted Jing Anzhi with all her heart, but what she got in return was a painful and disappointing ending. Last night's waiting made her build up a high wall in her heart, and she dared not trust Jing Anzhi's words easily anymore.

He was the husband and she was the wife. If she only cared about the affection between husband and wife, even if Jing Anzhi had a few concubines and maids, she could still fulfill her duties as a wife without hurting her heart or body. But if she loved Jing Anzhi, these beautiful women in the backyard would become ropes tied around her neck. If Jing Anzhi pulled them lightly, she would be dead.

Jiang Nanqiu has not forgotten her original intention of marrying into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She just wants to live a better life, not fall in love with someone wholeheartedly.

So, she nodded calmly and asked Ah Ping with a smile, "Does Master have anything else to say?"

A Ping shook his head.

Jiang Nanqiu asked Yu'er to hand him a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile, "Is this the morning when you left from Lanyue Pavilion?"

Madam Mingming's smiling gaze was very gentle, but Ah Ping felt a chill in his heart. He was stunned for a long time before answering, "Yes."

After getting the expected answer, Jiang Nanqiu's pretty face no longer showed the previous loss and sadness.

"Miss Gu Cui has already told everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion that my master stayed in Lanyue Pavilion last night. I'm afraid everyone knows about it. I think my master is very busy and can't always take care of Miss Rong, so I'll take the initiative to save Miss Rong's face." Jiang Nanqiu said with a smile.

On this day, rumors were rampant in the mansion. Jiang Nanqiu asked Yu'er to repeat the servants' words to her word for word. The more she listened, the clearer her mind became.

She was thinking very clearly now. Besides her reputation as a virtuous wife, the most important thing for her now was to give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible. These two things were much more important than love. She was Jing Anzhi's legitimate wife, and once she gave birth to a legitimate son, no one could shake her position. Rong Menghan was just a self-righteous daughter of a criminal without a mother's family. Even if she entered the backyard of the Zhenguo Mansion and became Jing Anzhi's concubine, she would be held tightly in her palm like an ant. Life and death were all decided by her, Jiang Nanqiu.

Jiang Nanqiu is decisive and efficient in his work.

Since she had decided to give Rong Menghan a status, she began to prepare for the matter of taking a concubine. She was a new daughter-in-law and did not understand the process of taking a concubine, so she could only ask Rong Mama for advice.

Rong Mama naturally told everything she knew. But when she spread the word that she would arrange the ceremony of taking a concubine for Rong Menghan, Rong Menghan and Gu Cui of Lanyue Pavilion immediately regarded themselves as winners. Both the master and the servant wanted to use the matter of taking a concubine to vent their grievances and grievances they had suffered in the past few days.

Especially Gu Cui, she had been mocked and ridiculed by Jiang Nanqiu's Yahoo for more than half a month, and she was already full of anger. She was not a stupid person, and immediately urged Rong Menghan to go to crowded places and show more.

"From now on, young lady will be the concubine in the backyard of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. You should visit more often in various rooms and courtyards. Don't underestimate the servants in the mansion. These inconspicuous people represent the power of different courtyards. They gain and lose strength and restrain each other. A few words in private can make people pay for it." Gu Cui said.

Rong Menghan nodded, and she changed her usual aloofness. She asked Gu Cui to comb her hair into a woman's bun, changed into a smoky pink flowered dress, pinned a bright gold hairpin on her head, and walked out of the gate of Lanyue Pavilion.

She also didn't want to go to Wang and get herself into trouble. Thinking that Jiang was of humble origin and would be much easier to control than Wang, she rushed to Qiulan Pavilion.

Jiang Nanqiu was having lunch and was only seven-tenths full. When he was about to go to the courtyard to enjoy the autumn scenery, he saw Rong Menghan and his servant under the porch.

Jiang Nanqiu looked at Rong Menghan from afar. Their eyes met, and it seemed as if countless invisible sparks burst out between their lines of sight, instantly silencing all the maids in Qiulangge.

Rong Menghan was the first to look away and walked into Qiulan Pavilion. She stood at the bottom of the bluestone steps and bowed to Jiang Nanqiu, "My concubine greets the Madam."

She had never been married, nor had she gone through the ceremony of taking a concubine, and even the matter of being a concubine had not been made clear, but she regarded herself as a concubine. Jiang Nanqiu frowned and smiled indifferently, "Miss Rong is here."

She bit the word "girl's son" a little harder to remind Rong Menghan that her current identity was just a nameless girl, not a concubine.

Rong Menghan's face suddenly turned pale, but he regained his composure in an instant.

"Madam, are you feeling better these days?" she asked respectfully.

Jiang Nanqiu stood on the corridor and stared down at her, "Thank you Miss Rong for your concern. I am much better now."

The two of them couldn't stand in the courtyard and talk for a long time, and Jiang Nanqiu also had to show the demeanor of a legal wife.

She asked Rong Menghan to come in and talk. Since she wanted to be virtuous and kind, Jiang Nanqiu asked the maids to pour hot tea and brought a small stool for Rong Menghan to sit in front of her.

"I was thinking of letting you live in Lanyue Pavilion after the ceremony of taking me as a concubine, but I would need to add a few more maids and old women to serve you. What do you think?" Jiang Nanqiu asked Rong Menghan with a faint smile.

She had already given Rong Menghan a lot of face. Which family's wife would ask the concubine's opinion before arranging a courtyard for her? She didn't want to give people a chance to criticize her, so she had to do her best to save face.

Unexpectedly, Rong Menghan smiled shamelessly and said, "My master said before he left that Lanyue Pavilion is a bit far from his study, and it is not convenient for her to sleep with me at night. Madam, please choose a courtyard closer to the study for me." As soon as the words fell, Gu Cui beside Rong Menghan was startled.

Yu'er and Ling Qing beside Jiang Nanqiu were so angry that their eyes were almost spitting fire.

They had never seen such a shameless person.

Jiang Nanqiu still smiled, but he slightly tightened his slender jade fingers on the table, "What are the rules for taking a concubine? Are there any other requirements?"

The rules in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion are very strict, and the regulations on a gentleman taking a concubine cannot be too blatant.

Yu'er thought that Rong Menghan would not make a more shameless request than changing the courtyard, but who would have thought that Rong Menghan would say, "I am different from ordinary concubines. The master has me in his heart, but he cannot marry me for various reasons. I have given up other thoughts and just want to accompany the prince forever. Madam, please forgive my rudeness and allow me to light a bunch of dragon and phoenix candles all night on the night of the concubine ceremony." Rong Menghan said shyly with misty eyes.

As soon as she said this, Yu'er beside her couldn't help but scold her, "What dragon and phoenix wedding candles? Only the legal wife can light dragon and phoenix wedding candles all night long. You are just a concubine, what qualifications do you have?"
