Jiang Jiaojiao: "..."
Are there women eager to become concubines? Can't the daughter of a high-ranking official have any backbone?
For a moment, she didn't know what excuse to come up with.
Jiang Jiaojiao was thinking of an excuse when the daughter of the prefect opposite her suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha... Fatty Qian! No one would want you as a concubine. Don't you even bother to look at yourself in the mirror? Let alone Shu County, even in the capital, no one would like a fat man like you!"
"Mei Liangxin? It's you!"
The prefect's daughter recognized the governor's daughter, whose face was covered in blood and mud, and screamed in panic. If there was one person in Shu County she least wanted to face, it was this governor's daughter.
The higher the rank, the more powerful one becomes; Prefect Mei has been wielding absolute power in Shu County for quite some time now.
This governor of Shu County had only one daughter, Mei Lanxin, and he would give her anything she wanted.
The young master is really unlucky to be targeted!
"You're the one who's heartless! Lanxin, the plum blossom's fragrance comes from the bitter cold, and Lanxin is the epitome of a virtuous and intelligent person!"
Mei Lanxin glared angrily and argued loudly.
Not to be outdone, the magistrate's daughter also shrieked, "Then why do you still call me Fatty Qian! My name is Qian Panpan! Pan means 'bright and radiant'!"
"Young master only likes voluptuous beauties like me! How could he not like you!"
Jiang Jiaojiao: "..."
They're arguing?
I secretly glanced at the troublemaker beside me, and tsk tsk tsk!
In ancient times, one might have been enraged for a beautiful woman; today, one might have fought for a handsome man.
Mei Lanxin's eyes widened, her anger barely contained: "Open your eyes and take a good look! Your waist is so thick it's practically three times mine! How could he possibly be interested in you? Stop daydreaming and indulging in wishful thinking!"
Qian Panpan was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a thud.
Suddenly, she burst into tears, "Waaah—you're talking bad about me again! I'm going to tell my brother!"
"Let my brother... let my brother shave all the men in your backyard bald! The young master wouldn't like a promiscuous woman like you! You already have so many men in your backyard! Why are you still trying to compete with me!"
Qian Panpan cried and wiped away her tears as she made her accusations.
"Pah! So what if you have an older brother! If you dare let your brother bully the men in my backyard, I'll have my father bully your father! I'll give your father a good scolding and send him to work in the mines!"
Mei Lanxin had disliked Qian Panpan since childhood, and would cry and complain about her at the slightest disagreement. However, her brothers were fearless troublemakers.
She really does do things that involve bullying the men in her backyard.
Only Qian Tongpan's future prospects could pose a threat.
Suddenly, Qian Panpan opened her mouth and burst into tears, crying even more fiercely as if she had suffered a great injustice.
She reached out and grabbed Jiang Jiaojiao's sleeve tightly, wiping her tears haphazardly across her face.
"Sister—she bullied me! Tell her quickly that the young master doesn't like her, he only likes voluptuous beauties like us!"
Qian Panpan quickly pulled Jiang Jiaojiao into her alliance, calling her "sister" repeatedly, truly treating herself as if she were an outsider.
Jiang Jiaojiao stared in disbelief at the two young ladies in front of her, who were arguing without any regard for their image.
At this moment, Li Yan, who had been standing quietly to the side, finally spoke.
His gaze was deep and unfathomable, his voice low and firm: "I don't like fat, nor do I like thin, I only like... my wife alone, I will never take a concubine!"
The words "my wife" seemed to have a magical power as they were uttered from his mouth. Jiang Jiaojiao blushed instantly, and her ears rang.
Mei Lanxin: "..."
Qian Panpan: "..."
The two women turned to look at Jiang Jiaojiao, and Qian Panpan was filled with envy, tears streaming down her face.
Mei Lanxin's eyes turned red with jealousy; she wished she could pull out her hairpin and create a Milky Way between them, so that they could never meet again.
She hated this kind of infatuated lover more than anything else in her life!
All those claims of unwavering love and lifelong devotion are lies!
Power and money are a mirror that reveals true nature!
What she loves most is seeing lovers who cry and shout that they will never be apart, only to fall apart under her seduction and enticement!
hehe--
What do you mean by "only one person, never taking a concubine"? It's just that the concubines aren't beautiful enough, rich enough, or powerful enough!
"Arrest them! Arrest them all!"
The flames of jealousy swept over her like a raging storm. Mei Lanxin's proud face was twisted and deformed with extreme anger, and she screamed wildly at the top of her lungs.
His eyes were practically popping out of their sockets as he stared intently at Jiang Jiaojiao and Li Yan.
He screamed hysterically again: "Arrest them all! Don't let a single one escape!"
The guards, their faces contorted with malice, charged menacingly toward Qian Panpan's bodyguards.
The two sides instantly engaged in a chaotic battle.
"Stop! No!"
Qian Panpan shouted, spreading her arms to protect Jiang Jiaojiao. Her 200-pound figure completely blocked the plump Jiang Jiaojiao, and also blocked Li Yan.
Qian Panpan backed away.
Turning back to Jiang Jiaojiao, he said anxiously, "You guys hurry up and go—"
"and you?"
Jiang Jiaojiao was taken aback. Although they were unwilling to reveal their identities, they were willing to risk it all at this critical moment. Besides, there were also the Dragon Guards following them in secret. If a fight broke out, Mei Lanxin would not come out on top either.
Seeing Jiang Jiaojiao hesitate, Qian Panpan was deeply moved. She bit her lip, made up her mind, and pushed Jiang Jiaojiao toward Li Yan.
He shouted loudly, "Run! You all run! I'll stop her!"
Jiang Jiaojiao: "..."
It sounds like a farewell between life and death, but... there's no need for that.
Didn't you see how badly bruised and bloodied he was about to break free?
Seeing that Jiang Jiaojiao was unwilling to abandon her and run away, Qian Panpan's eyes reddened and tears welled up instantly. Caught up in her acting, she suddenly grabbed Jiang Jiaojiao and pulled her into Li Yan's arms, saying, "Young Master, you must take good care of my sister!"
"Hurry up—"
"Head towards the mines in Shu County. There, the Marquis of Fuyu and the Royal Guard are stationed! Even the Prefect wouldn't dare to force his way in!"
"Hurry up, sister! If fate allows, we will meet again!"
Qian Panpan held the script for a melodramatic drama in her hand, getting more and more engrossed in the performance. If you didn't know better, you would think she had her eye on Jiang Jiaojiao. Even Li Yan, who was standing next to her, had a hint of wariness and displeasure flash in his deep eyes.
Jiang Jiaojiao, who had originally intended to take action, immediately abandoned the idea of revealing her identity upon hearing the name "Rich Marquis".
The governor of Shu Commandery is all-powerful; it's doubtful that the mines are safe either.
As soon as this thought popped into her mind, Jiang Jiaojiao suddenly panicked, as if something had really happened.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Jiaojiao held Qiu Xiang down and ordered Dao Qing and Dao Hong, "She won't really kill her!"
Although the prefect is one rank higher than the vice-prefect, he is still a form of supervision, so we dare not really turn them into mortal enemies.
This is also why Qian Panpan asked them to leave first.
The prefect's daughter dared not kill the vice-prefect's daughter, but she was ruthless towards those whose identities were unknown.
When Mei Lanxin gave the order, Xiangling had already rushed onto the carriage with the grilled fish, fearing that she would be a burden to the princess and the prince.
Qiu Xiang kicked a charging guard ten meters away, then turned to help Jiang Jiaojiao into the carriage, only to see that Jiang Jiaojiao had already skillfully picked up Li Yan and jumped into the carriage.
