Zhu Jia's thoughts were exposed, and he didn't want to pretend anymore: "How can that merchant girl be worthy of being the wife of the Xie family? She just seduced me into the position of the emperor. Even being a concubine would be a great honor for her..."
"Shut up!" the Marquis's wife angrily said, "No matter what she was like before, she is now a member of the Xie family. How can you speak so arrogantly? Now that the Xie family and the Marquis's marriage is imminent, you should respect her!"
"Huaichuan doesn't want to marry a girl from the Xie family. Since they want to form an alliance, why can't it be me?"
The Marquis’s wife’s face was frozen.
Zhu Jia begged, "Foster mother, even if it means being a co-wife, I am willing to accept you. I only want to marry him. If I can marry him, I will be content to take care of my husband and children from now on, and never disobey him again!"
"You, you're ridiculous! Everyone in the capital knows that Xie Xianyu and his wife are so in love that they don't even have a concubine. And you still expect him to take a concubine?!"
"Xu Wanruo simply relied on seducing men to rise to power. Now that she's pregnant, I can't keep her even if I wanted to. Thank you, Master, for treating me differently. If I can..."
"Shut up!" The Marquis's wife was trembling with anger. "You are crazy! Even if she is a foxy woman, do you really want to imitate her? You must remember that you are the daughter of the Marquis's family!"
The Marquis's wife walked away with a gloomy face: "You should reflect on this carefully and tell me when you have thought it through!"
Zhu Jia frowned and thought to herself, yes, she is still the daughter of a marquis, her stepmother may be tough on her but soft on her heart, if she really gets into trouble, she will still help her out in the end.
In that case, why not take a gamble?
Do I really have to sit back and wait to marry those clueless idiots?

When Wanruo returned to Songhe Garden, she lay down on the soft couch. She was always easily tired now and was much more delicate than before.
"What did you say to Chen Qinghan?" Xie Xianyu asked her.
She was flipping through the book in her hand and replied perfunctorily, "Nothing."
Of course, they couldn't tell Xie Xianyu. They had to wait a few days until Su Yue was leaving Beijing with the caravan, and then let them quietly take Chen Qinghan with them.
He walked over to the soft couch and sat down, taking a look at the title written on the cover of the book she was holding: "I Will Only Admire You Throughout Life and Life."
He frowned, what a mess of books.
"You spend all day reading these idle books?"
Wanruo snorted unhappily, "I can't leave the house, so what else can I do?"
Ever since she became pregnant, she has been truly disabled. She doesn't even have to attend the housekeeping classes as the eldest lady, and she is not allowed to take care of anything in the mansion. The imperial physician also warned her that the fetus is unstable and it is best not to leave the mansion within three months.
It was a rare opportunity in her life for her to have so much free time. She was so bored that she was going to mold. Xiuzhu secretly sent her a few messages, and she became addicted to them as soon as she saw them.
"Why don't I teach you how to play the piano?" he suddenly said.
Without even thinking, she turned over and pointed the back of her head at him: "I won't learn."
In the past, she had to learn it to deal with him, but now she had no mood to learn it. Her fingers hurt from pressing it, and she still had to listen to his teachings.
His eyebrows twitched. This was not the attitude she had towards him when she needed his help!
This heartless little thing, he turns his back on people and doesn't recognize them!
He pulled a face and said, "Xu Wanruo, you are incredible."
Wanruo turned around and looked at him: "So what do you want?"
That fearless look seemed to be saying, what can you do to me?
His expression was slightly hesitant. Now that she was pregnant, she couldn't be touched or kissed.
She must have known that she was now "incomparably valuable", so she was so arrogant.
Yes, she can always climb to the sky with a ladder!
It was rare for her to see him get humiliated, and she felt much better. She hummed softly, turned over and was about to continue looking at her son.
But she was caught off guard and he took the book away from her. Before she could react, he leaned over to her, pinched her chin, and his dark eyes radiated a dark light: "Do you think I don't dare to deal with you now?"
