Chapter 262: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince

Liang Wanzhou inherited the old marquis' tall physique, and he was particularly scary when he approached. Ji Yunhuan backed away nervously until she had nowhere to retreat. There was a bed behind her, so she pushed Liang Wanzhou hard.

"No... no need. I won't pursue what happened today. I'll ask Shiqin to ask Doctor Xu's apprentice to come. Aunt Wan will be safe. Please go back, my Lord."

Ji Yunhuan's forehead was covered with cold sweat. In her previous life, Liang Wanzhou refused to touch her, and she was too embarrassed to compete for favors with a concubine. They had never been husband and wife, so why did Liang Wanzhou suddenly want to stay with her?

She didn't want to serve Liang Wanzhou at all. She thought it was dirty and disgusting!

Liang Wanzhou staggered after being pushed, but he laughed softly. Seeing Ji Yunhuan's panic-stricken look, his mood instantly improved.

"Madam, don't be shy. I have neglected you for the past six months. In the future, as long as you are gentle and kind, and learn more from Wan Niang, I will naturally love you."

Liang Wanzhou is neither good at literature nor martial arts, but he is capable of subduing a weak woman. This is the absolute power brought by the difference in body size.

"Ah!" Ji Yunhuan screamed, she fell down on the bed, her wrist was grabbed by Liang Wanzhou and it hurt, but she couldn't break free, so she could only force herself to calm down and said indifferently:

"I can't learn to behave like Aunt Wan. If the Marquis likes her, she should go to the West Wing. Aunt Wan has had her period, but the maids around her are all outstanding and can serve the Marquis."

"But the Marquis should also take care of his body, go to brothels and bars less often, and don't get involved with those questionable people outside..."

Ji Yunhuan saw the anger in Liang Wanzhou's eyes and started to say things that Liang Wanzhou didn't like.

"The Marquis has an empty title but no real job. The old Marquis is still alive, so the Marquis should have a place in the army, but the Marquis did not inherit the old Marquis's bravery and wisdom. His martial arts are only mediocre. He returned after three days in the army."

"My Lord wants to pursue a career in literature, but now he is only a scholar, not even a juren. Even if he doesn't take the imperial examination, he should be more diligent and pass the examination to become an official. My Lord has such poor academic qualifications, how can I help him find a job?"

"You..." Liang Wanzhou was furious and shook off Ji Yunhuan's hand.

Ji Yunhuan fell on the bed, turned his aching wrist, and felt relieved.

Shiqin's heart almost jumped out of her chest. She hoped that the lady could get along well with the Marquis, but she also felt sorry for the lady. The lady was obviously unwilling. Just now, she almost hit the Marquis with a vase.

Shiqin helped Ji Yunhuan up. Ji Yunhuan didn't dare to stay in the room any longer. The cramped space made her feel scared. She was afraid that Liang Wanzhou would pounce on her again.

The master and servant left the house and stood in the corridor of the east wing.

It was already completely dark, and the lights in the west wing opposite were on. A little maid in red ran over, knelt in front of Ji Yunhuan, and said loudly:

"Aunt Wan has fainted! Madam, please show mercy and take out the thousand-year-old ginseng to cure Aunt Wan. I kowtow to you."

Liang Wanzhou also chased out. Ji Yunhuan's words just now had completely infuriated him. He hated Ji Yunhuan's preaching the most, and he hated Ji Yunhuan looking down on him the most!

"It's just a ginseng. I'll give it to Wan Niang."

The little maid was about to rush into the lady's room, but without waiting for Ji Yunhuan's instructions, Shiqin quickly stopped the little maid.

"How dare you! Do you think you can barge into the lady's room without permission? Get away!"

Ji Yunhuan stood at the door and sneered, "Millennial ginseng is a life-saving thing. It's just a little blood. Just use some longan and red dates to nourish it. Aunt Wan must know the severity of the attack on herself. She will definitely not hurt her foundation. It's not certain whether the blood is real."

Liang Wanzhou was even more furious, "You vicious woman! If anything happens to Wan Niang, I will not forgive you!"

In the past, seeing Liang Wanzhou so furious, Ji Yunhuan would definitely give in. But today, she added fuel to the fire and said sarcastically:

"She is just a toy bought to serve others. Even if she is promoted to concubine, she is still a lowly concubine. Even if I really deal with her, what can the Marquis do?"

"The old marquis and my father were on good terms, so the two families arranged the marriage. You were a playboy, so the old marquis kept you in check when he was alive, because he knew that if the inner house of the marquisate was in a mess, this marriage would definitely not be possible."

"After the old marquis left, Wan Niang showed up. She was a skinny girl from Yangzhou, raised to please men. She knows you like the back of her hand, and can speak to your heart about everything, so that you risk offending the Ji family and want to marry her."

"Liang Wanzhou, I know you are stupid, but I didn't expect you to be this stupid. Can't you see that she has ulterior motives? Can't you see that she is hiding evil in her heart? Do you still believe that she is innocent of what happened today?"

Liang Wanzhou simply couldn't listen. He had long been fed up with his father controlling him in everything. As a man, what was wrong with him having three wives and four concubines? Why couldn't he have a few beautiful women in his house?

So after his father passed away, he indulged himself even more. What if he carried Wan Niang into the mansion on the wedding day? Ji Yunhuan was already married, and a daughter who was married off was like water spilled out. It was impossible for the Ji family to carry her back without caring about their reputation.

Liang Wanzhou's eyes were red with anger, and he gnashed his teeth and said, "You...you are so presumptuous! I can carry anyone I want into the palace, but you are prejudiced against Wan Niang. She has a miserable life, so she fell into the dust and was stained with mud. She is the best woman in the world, ten thousand times better than a vicious woman like you!"

Ji Yunhuan took a few steps back and clenched the hairpin in her hand. If Liang Wanzhou went crazy again, she wouldn't mind poking a few holes in him.

The man is really ridiculous. On the one hand, he wants to persuade the brothel girl to become a good woman, and on the other hand, he wants his wife to behave like a prostitute.

There are indeed many women in this world who are desperate and become prostitutes. If Wan Niang was really miserable and pitiful and kept to herself, she would not mind having one more mouth to feed at home.

But Wan Niang was a spy raised by the second prince. In her previous life, she was determined to drive Wan Niang out for the sake of the Marquis' Mansion and Liang Wanzhou. In the end, Wan Niang left and became the white moonlight in Liang Wanzhou's heart, so Liang Wanzhou hated her for this.

Now she would not do such a thankless task.

Ji Yunhuan smiled faintly, "Since the Marquis likes her, then keep her. In the future, I will never say a word against Aunt Wan, and I will not control the Marquis anymore. The Marquis can have as many concubines as he wants, and I will never say anything."

Liang Wanzhou was stunned for a moment. He did have a few favorites outside, but he didn't dare to bring them home for fear that Ji Yun would make a fuss.

Ji Yunhuan suddenly became so generous, it seemed that she was sincerely repentant and wanted to please him.

"You are smart. Even if I have many concubines, the position of my principal wife is still yours. Stop making trouble with me. If you behave yourself, I will naturally love you..."

"Marquis~" Wan Niang was helped out. She called him "Marquis" so many times that it made Liang Wanzhou's bones go soft.

"I woke up and didn't see you, Lord. I thought you didn't want me anymore. Lord, I'm in pain. Can you massage it for me?"
