Chapter 348 The Legal Wife in the Concubine's Story 29
How boring! Are you dizzy already?
Zhai Lingruo chuckled. This old lady's psychological endurance was not very good.
Where did the energy that was used to torture the original owner in the original plot go?
"Go and call the court doctor quickly, grandma has fainted again." Zhai Lingruo looked worried again and hurriedly called someone over.
The Marquis's Mansion has not been peaceful these days, and this incident happened on the seventh day after the Marquis' death. Others just think that the Marquis' Mansion has been unlucky recently and that God is not blessing them.
After dealing with these matters, Jiang Huaiqing finally became a marquis as he wished.
However, Qing and Huai provinces suffered from floods due to heavy rains in the spring, and the court needed to send people there. The emperor then noticed this newly inherited marquis.
So Jiang Huaiqing was sent over.
The emperor originally wanted to send Zhai Heran, a descendant of the Zhai family who lived in the neighboring Qing and Huai states, but something went wrong.
"Lord Yan, are you going to go to those Qinghuai states in person?"
"Well, Your Majesty, do you not believe in Yan?"
The emperor did not want to let this capable subordinate go, but he also knew that with Yan Heng's ability, going there was the best choice.
"In that case, let you go. I will draft an order to let Zhai help you."
It was sunny and peaceful in Shangjing, and the marquis's mansion was filled with spring. Because the old lady had a stroke and the old marquis died, no one could take care of Jiang Huaiqing anymore.
Jiang Huaiqing originally wanted to quietly take Li Xintang into his mansion, and he and Zhai Lingruo had discussed the matter in advance.
But Zhai Lingruo looked at him with a puzzled look: "My husband, you are in this state, and you still want to take a concubine and harm the girl."
The contemptuous look and careless words made Jiang Huaiqing's heart stagnate. He originally wanted to take her in first and then let Zhai Lingruo quietly "die of illness".
But later, he changed his mind.
The Zhai family behind Zhai Lingruo is still there, and the head of the Zhai family is also her father. If he died of illness for no reason, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
But he couldn't wait to keep Li Xintang outside and had secret dealings with her all day long. Now that he was the head of the Marquis' Mansion, why couldn't he take a concubine he liked?
Zhai Lingruo's character has always been that she doesn't mind Jiang Huaiqing taking a concubine, so she only hesitated for a moment and then quickly agreed.
"Madam, do you really agree with the Marquis taking a concubine?" Cui'er was a little angry for her.
"Hmm." Zhai Lingruo narrowed her eyes slightly. This concubine must not be allowed in. If the heroine's escape went smoothly, Li Xintang should have been in Qinghuai and Huaizhou, where the floods were the most serious.
The villa outside Beijing, where a beauty was originally hidden, is now deserted.
"Huaiqing, take good care of our children, don't worry."
Jiang Huaiqing looked at the letter Li Xintang left for her in disbelief.
This woman actually dared to abandon him and his son and run away? ? ?
Jiang Niantan in the mansion still didn't know what was going on and was completely confused.
At this moment, he is no longer the very smart child taught by the original owner in the original plot. He is almost the same as those ordinary children, and is indistinguishable from the crowd.
Jiang Huaiqing did find a new teacher for his son, but every time, Jiang Niantan was lazy and didn't work hard.
As a father, Jiang Huaiqing had thought about disciplining the child, but because Li Xintang was protecting him, he had to give up.
"Nian Tan, do you know where your mother went?" Jiang Huaiqing squatted down and looked at his son at eye level.
Jiang Niantan: "Isn't mother in the other courtyard?"
Obviously he knew nothing.
In fact, Li Xintang was reluctant to part with the child, but after spending the past few months together, she asked questions intentionally or unintentionally and concluded that her son would rather stay with Jiang Huaiqing.
I had no choice but to harden my heart and abandon my son and run away.
After making the old lady so angry that she had a stroke in the Marquis' Mansion that day, Li Xintang knew that he could not stay for long.
The Marquis has died, the old lady has suffered a stroke, Jiang Huaiqing has inherited the Marquis's Mansion, and there is no one in the Mansion who can control him anymore.
Wouldn't his next step be to let me enter his mansion as a concubine?
Li Xintang didn't want to enter the mansion as a concubine. She was afraid that Jiang Huaiqing's wife would become jealous of Jiang Huaiqing's favor towards her and take action against her.
Besides, Jiang Huaiqing told her that the wife of the first wife still didn't know Jiang Niantan's identity. If she entered the mansion, she would inevitably be exposed in her daily interactions with Jiang Niantan.
At that time, the wife of the first wife learned that her husband had already had an affair with other women before she entered the marriage, and their children were already several years old.
Are you really not going to be angry and skin her alive?
Before the Li family encountered trouble, Li Xintang, as the eldest daughter, had seen how her mother dealt with the concubines.
At that time, her mother would tell her: "Xintang, when you become the mistress of the house, the principal wife, you must not show mercy to those concubines."
"The children they gave birth to are all here to snatch your father's favor." Li Xintang's mother touched her furry head and said, "Child, do you know? Before your brother, your father also had a child."
That child is the eldest son of a concubine.
How could Mrs. Li allow a bastard to threaten her own child's status?
So she killed the child and the mother as well.
Mrs. Li still remembered the woman who died in childbirth, with blood gushing out from her body. She only used a little trick to make Li's father see the ugly appearance of the woman covered in blood.
He successfully made Li's father dislike his most beloved concubine.
When she grew up, her mother told her about the privacy of the rear house. At that time, Li Xintang also hated concubines.
But she didn't expect that once something happened at home, she would become the person she looked down upon the most in the past.
So she absolutely could not enter the Marquis' Mansion.
Jiang Huaiqing's wife will never let her go.
While Jiang Huaiqing was dealing with the funeral in the Marquis' Mansion and a series of matters after inheriting the title of Marquis, Li Xintang packed up his bags and left the villa.
Li Xintang had already made inquiries. She planned to go to Qing and Huai states, find a place to live there, and then find a new husband.
By the time Jiang Huaiqing had time to see her, almost a month had passed.
It was only recently that Jiang Huaiqing found some news about Li Xintang.
Qingzhou? That place where there have been heavy rains recently, flooding many farmlands.
Jiang Huaiqing was also panicked, so when the emperor asked him to go there to provide disaster relief, he agreed without thinking.
They prepared the horses almost overnight and hurried to Qingzhou.
Dragon Guards a few days ago.
"Master Yan, there is a flood in Qinghuai. I hope you can take care of my family when you go there."
Yan Heng's expression was as calm as ever, but his heart was filled with boundless coldness.
She wanted him to protect Jiang Huaiqing?
Ling Ruo stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve. "What are you thinking about? I want you to take care of my brother. His wife is pregnant now. If something happens to him there, Youyou will be left alone. Aren't you going there?"
"There is another way." Yan Heng raised the corner of his mouth slightly after hearing her explanation.
After all, it’s not for that annoying Jiang Huaiqing.
