Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 351 The Legal Wife in the Concubine's Story 32

Jiang Huaiqing, who had experienced life and death with Li Xintang, became more determined in his decision.

"Madam, this is new tea from Qingzhou. Your husband brought it specially for you. Please try it." Jiang Huaiqing handed the tea to Zhai Lingruo.

"Husband, even though you have a lame leg, you still remember to bring me new tea." Zhai Lingruo's eyes were full of emotion, but the words she said broke Jiang Huaiqing's heart.

One of his legs was indeed lost, and under that environment, he and Li Xintang were lucky to be alive.

It was after experiencing life and death with Li Xintang that Jiang Huaiqing realized why he could not give Li Xintang what she had always wanted?

If she became his legal wife, she would definitely not think of leaving his side. They could still be together with Nian Tan, and the three of them could live in harmony.

What's more, it is his turn to be the master of the Marquis' Mansion. In one's life, nothing is a big deal except life and death.

Even if his wife Zhai Lingruo has the Zhai family behind her, so what? As long as it is proven that she has committed adultery with the servant, he will still be in the right.

Others would only think that Zhai Lingruo was shameless. Her husband had never taken a concubine, yet she could still do such a thing with a servant.

Besides, this woman was not the one he wanted to marry. He married her only for Xintang and to deal with his father and grandmother.

But now his father is dead and his grandmother is ill, neither of them can make decisions for him, so he has inherited the Marquisate.

There is no need to wait any longer.

Although Xintang lost an eye, Jiang Huaiqing still loved her.

"Drink it while it's hot." Jiang Huaiqing was a little impatient.

"Okay." Zhai Lingruo was about to take the porcelain white teacup, but her hand shook and the scalding hot tea spilled all over Jiang Huaiqing.

Being splashed with hot tea is not a good thing.

Jiang Huaiqing was in so much pain that he could hardly maintain his facial expression. The pain from his legs burned his skin, and tea dripped onto the ground through his clothes.

"Oh, my husband, go change your clothes quickly. We can try this new tea another day." Zhai Lingruo looked at Jiang Huaiqing innocently.

Jiang Huaiqing took a deep breath. It seemed that every time she met Zhai Lingruo, she would always be defeated. However, she would not be able to be proud for many days.

He had just changed his outer robe when he felt a little dizzy. At this time, a man suddenly came in from outside. The man hugged Jiang Huaiqing in his arms, but felt something was wrong.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from outside, "Ah——"

The maid saw this scene and didn't know what to do. At this time, Bai Fu walked forward with Ling Ruo, "What's wrong?"

Bai Fu also screamed.

Seeing Marquis of Jing'an Jiang Huaiqing hugging someone, it's hard not to misunderstand.

Ling Ruo burst into tears: "Jiang Huaiqing, I didn't expect you to be a homosexual. You even lied to me and said you were impotent!"

The eyes of the people around him widened, as if they had heard some big news.

Jiang Huaiqing wanted to explain, but for some reason, his whole body went limp and he leaned straight on the servant.

Bai Fu was almost nauseated by this scene, "I want to vomit, Lingruo, I'm sorry for you."

Suddenly a voice came from outside, "The imperial edict has arrived!"

However, this imperial edict was not an edict to reward people for their merits, but an edict to punish people.

Jiang Huaiqing deserted his post without permission and acted on his own, which violated the emperor's taboo by secretly taking the daughter of a guilty minister out of the Jiaofangsi. Therefore, this imperial edict was issued to revoke the title of Marquis Jing'an.

So, now Jiang Huaiqing is not only lame, but also a commoner.

However, Lingruo had never expected that she was involved in the imperial edict. The emperor learned about her letters to Zhai Heran, which included suggestions on strengthening the dam and dredging the river. He praised her and issued an edict allowing Zhai Lingruo to divorce her husband.

Naturally, what Zhai Heran did could not be hidden from the emperor's eyes and ears. Without thinking, he attributed all the credit to his sister.

With Yan Heng's intervention, the emperor's reward was even more generous.

Zhai Lingruo seriously suspected that the later decree to divorce her husband was issued because Yan Heng had done something wrong, otherwise, generally speaking, divorces would most likely be amicable.

But this is also good, it saves her some trouble.

As the incident happened a long time ago, there was no point in sending Li Xintang to the Jiaofangsi. The emperor was hesitating about how to deal with him when he heard his beloved and capable minister speak.

"Your Majesty, why not pair her up with the commoner Jiang Huaiqing? That commoner actually did something deceiving the emperor for this, I think he loves that girl very much. Your Majesty, why don't you help this pair of star-crossed lovers to be together."

The emperor shuddered inexplicably. Did these two people offend Lord Yan? After all, Lord Yan told him about the two people and the identity of the woman.

Although Lord Yan is so kind now, the emperor always feels that nothing good is going on.

Forget it. After all, it was those two people who offended Lord Yan. It has nothing to do with him, so just agree to it.

Li Xintang just stayed with Jiang Huaiqing.

Although people in the capital knew that the commoner Jiang Huaiqing had remarried, no one took it seriously. After all, according to recent rumors, the commoner was a homosexual, and that was why the eldest daughter of the Zhai family divorced him.

At this time, the Marquis' Mansion had already become a topic of conversation among the people of Beijing over tea.

Although Jiang Huaiqing was with Li Xintang as he wished, this life was not as comfortable as he had imagined.

The Jiang family had been in deficit for a long time. After Li Xintang married in and took charge of the entire family, she found out after doing the accounts that the family had long since become an empty shell.

In short, no money.

Jiang Huaiqing no longer had his title, so naturally he had no salary.

The servants sold their things or left, and the once huge mansion was now only left with seven or eight people.

What's worse is that the people outside somehow found out that Li Xintang was the daughter of a criminal. Li's father was a corrupt official who exploited the people. Although he is dead, there are still people who hate him.

They all came to the Jiang residence and threw some rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, which made Jiang Huaiqing and Li Xintang very unhappy.

After all, Jiang Huaiqing's identity is no longer that of a high and mighty marquis, but is no different from an ordinary citizen outside.

The old lady of the Jiang family was overjoyed to learn that her grandson was not dead. However, she also learned that the title of the Marquisate was gone. The Marquisate had fallen into ruin in her hands for generations. She passed away in a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Fortunately, he went, otherwise he would have fainted again when he found out that Li Xintang had entered the mansion.

Li Xintang was in a daze. The life she had imagined after becoming the legal wife was not what she had imagined. Although Jiang Huaiqing still loved her, that love seemed to be missing something.

Jiang Niantan, the son she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, suddenly went mad one day and confronted her.

Jiang Niantan didn't look like a nine-year-old child that day. He looked at Li Xintang angrily, "It's all because of you! Mother doesn't want me!"

Li Xintang was devastated and felt like she was about to collapse. "Niantan, you are my son who I carried for ten months. I am your mother."
