Forced to Switch Marriages, I Went from Slum to First-Rank Imperial Matron

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she he...

Chapter 456: Chaos in the Wen Mansion

Ying Zhilin looked at everyone expectantly: "You all have wives and children, so you must know how to coax your wives. Why don't you share some of your experience with me?

If this method works, I will reward you handsomely afterwards."

You should know that Lin’s feelings are sincere.

His colleagues thought he was crazy.

Someone advised him:

A top scholar in the imperial examination was so obsessed with a woman that he lost his appetite. It was such a waste of his knowledge and talent.

He also advised Ying Zhilin to stop and mend his ways as soon as possible and stop indulging in the pleasures of pleasure.

Ying Zhilin supported his chin with his hands, sighed deeply, and said sadly: "Alas... It's not that I want to be a wife's slave. I took the imperial examination to make my wife proud. Who would have thought that I would accidentally get the top scorer.

But my wife doesn't want me anymore.

I am like a blindfolded toad, jumping around aimlessly without any direction."

After he finished speaking, he sighed softly.

The colleague closest to him clenched his fists and glared at him fiercely, gritting his teeth: "Brother Ying, I advise you to run now, otherwise I will lose control of my fists and hit you in the face."

Ying Zhilin was shocked. He jumped up on the spot, grabbed his bag and ran away.

**

An ordinary teahouse in the capital.

Wen Yan and Pei'er disguised themselves as ordinary women.

After Pearl entered, she quickly found a suitable position.

Not long after they sat down, another woman sat down opposite them.

Pei'er handed her a glass of water and asked impatiently, "Aunt, tell me quickly, what interesting things have happened in the Wen family recently?"

If Jiang Xinkui were here, she would be able to recognize that this woman was the servant in her courtyard.

Wen Yan bribed her, and she knew everything Jiang Xinkui did.

The woman took the money to do the job, moistened her throat with tea, and then told the story of what had happened recently.

Ever since Lord Wen took the concubine back home, the Wen family has not had a single day of peace.

The mistress is not an easy person to deal with.

Even if Jiang Xinkui didn't provoke her, she would take the initiative to provoke Jiang Xinkui.

What's more, the concubine has long hated Jiang Xinkui to the core.

After she entered the mansion, she occupied Lord Wen's place and did not allow Jiang Xinkui the chance to see him.

How could Jiang Xinkui allow herself to be controlled by a mistress?

She has been working in the Wen Mansion for more than twenty years, and everything in the Wen Mansion has long been under her control.

Not only did she return her concubine's biological son to his wife, she also refused to give the mother and her two children monthly allowance.

Lord Wen didn't care at first.

He received ten taels of silver as monthly salary, and after he was reinstated, he would receive several dozen taels of salary every month, which was enough for the three of them to live on.

How could Jiang Xinkui let him have his way?

His monthly allowance was deducted simply on the grounds that he was reflecting on himself at home and not spending any money.

The concubine has never lived a poor life in these years. She eats supplements such as bird's nest every day, and is unwilling to use her own private money.

Lord Wen could only pawn his things.

It is said that he has pawned several sets of clothes.

On the eve of the Spring Banquet, the concubine started to have evil thoughts again.

Those who can attend the Spring Banquet are all powerful people in the capital.

If I could find a good marriage for my daughter, her life would be settled for the rest of her life.

She then instigated Lord Wen to call Wen Ruyue back to her parents' home without telling Jiang Xinkui, and let Wen Ruyue bring her concubine's daughter to attend the Spring Banquet.

Wen Ruyue looked at Lord Wen at that moment and asked coldly, "Father, do you think so too?"

"What's your attitude? How can you talk to your father like that?" Lord Wen slammed the table to show Wen Ruyue his power. "Mi'er is your biological sister, what's wrong with you taking her to see the world?

You are the wife of the prince of the Marquisate, and no one dares to bully Mier because she is with you."

Wen Ruyue was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Father, when you made this decision, did you ever think about how Mother would feel?"

"She's just a cruel and ruthless shrew. How can I talk to her nicely?"

Wen Ruyue clenched her fists, almost pinching her palms until they bled, and only then did she manage to control herself from going crazy.

She immediately asked, "I want to bring the second daughter of the Marquis's family with me to this Spring Banquet.

What father means is that the second daughter of the Marquis's family should be treated the same as a daughter from a concubine's family?

This is like pressing the face of Jin Pinghou to the ground and rubbing it back and forth. You dare to think so, but I dare not do it! "

When Lord Wen heard this, he stopped.

Wen Ruyue is not so easy to bully.

She turned around and told Jiang Xinkui the news.

Jiang Xinkui's face was distorted with anger: "It's not enough to bully me, you dare to bully my daughter!

Since she's plotting for that little bitch, I'll destroy her."

On the night of the Spring Banquet.

Jiang Xinkui sent someone to steal Wen Mi, the daughter of his concubine, out of the house and sold her to a brothel.

After drinking a pot of aphrodisiac, she was laid out on the table in the brothel and her virginity was auctioned off.

When Lord Wen arrived with his concubine.

The person has been auctioned off for eight hundred and eighty taels.

Lord Wen, in the name of the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion, paid twice the price to redeem the person.

After this incident.

Wen Mi's reputation was completely ruined.

Not to mention marrying into a powerful family, even an ordinary family with a good family tradition would not marry her.

At most, she could find a wealthy businessman as her concubine.

Lord Wen was so angry that he cried out, and wanted to fight with Jiang Xinkui when he returned.

Jiang Xinkui was prepared. After being slapped, he took out a dagger and scratched Lord Wen's arm.

"The drama of the Wen family is really exciting!" Pei'er clicked her tongue while asking about the subsequent plot.

The informant said something else: "Anyway, there is chaos in the Wen Mansion every day, and there is no peace for a single day.

However, I heard that the master is ready to bow to the lady."

Lord Wen wants to reconcile with Jiang Xinkui?

Wen Yan disagreed.

Wen Yan hooked his finger at the informant and whispered a few words to her.

The informant was a little scared: "Is this... okay?"

"Just do it. Once you've done your job well, the young lady will find a chance to free you from slavery, give you two hundred taels of silver, and send your family back home."

"Thank you, Miss!" If there weren't so many people around, the informant would have wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Wen Yan.

Wen Yan thought of something and asked again, "Where is that child?"

The person Wen Yan was asking about was Jiang Xinkui's biological son, who had been raised as a dog by his mistress for more than ten years, and even his name was "Dog Bastard".

The informant frowned upon hearing about the child. "After the Madam brought him back home, she gave him a new name and arranged for him to live in the fake young master's courtyard. He was given everything from food and clothing to housing and transportation, yet she never even visited him once."

"The servants in this mansion are all very cunning, and they are used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak.

How could they not see that the lady was outwardly loving towards her own son but actually despised him in her heart?

The servants followed suit, pretending to obey but secretly deducting a lot of things, causing the child to suffer a lot."

Wen Yan smiled.

This is Jiang Xinkui's style.

She did the same thing when she learned that Wen Yan was not her biological daughter.

Wen Yan suffered a lot of losses at the hands of his servants.

Wen Yan thought for a moment, then took out a silver ingot and gave it to the informant: "Help me keep an eye on the real young master, at least don't let him starve."

"Yes." The informant put the silver into his arms.

I thought the second young lady was still kind.

Even though the Wen family treated her like that, she still cared about this poor young master.

"Oh, right. Go back and tell Miss Three to come see me when she's free."
