Chapter 42: Is it worthy?
It was the same as what Xie Changning said when he forced her to be his concubine.
But wasn't this the path she chose herself?
“Fourth sister…” Shen Zhiyan and the others stood up and went to chase Shen Jingyun.
"Xie Changning, you bitch, how dare you ask Jingyun to be someone's concubine? I order you to go and get Jingyun back for me." Qin shouted sternly.
Xie Changning sat still. She raised her eyes and looked coldly at Qin. "I'd like to ask mother, who gave Jingyun this idea, and who personally pushed Jingyun into the fire pit?"
"Is this the time to talk about this? I just want Jingyun to come back. I know you must have a way. You don't even need to take action. As long as you show a tough attitude, those people won't dare to take Jingyun away. Hurry up and ask someone to stop them." Qin looked furious.
Seeing that Xie Changning was still motionless.
She raised her hand and slapped Xie Changning in the face.
"Madam." Mother Du rushed forward and tried to block the slap for Xie Changning.
Xie Changning lightly grasped the old lady's wrist, her eyes sharp. "Mother must be worried right now. What were you doing before? Wasn't it you who sent Jingyun to Song Wenjing's bed, eager to make her a concubine? How dare I disobey Mother's orders?"
She knows!
Qin's eyes flickered slightly, and she almost didn't dare to look directly at Xie Changning.
Xie Changning smiled faintly and said, "If mother chases after her now, perhaps she can see Jingyun again. From now on, Jingyun will be Song Wenjing's concubine, and it will be difficult for her to go out again. Mother, are you really not going to see Jingyun off?"
"You..." Qin gritted her teeth in anger and turned and left.
Xie Changning also reminded her, "If mother threatens to die, those people will never dare to take Jingyun away. It depends on whether you want to save Jingyun or not."
By the time Qin chased out, Shen Jingyun had already gotten into the sedan chair.
"Fourth sister, please come out quickly! Once you step into the Princess's Mansion, it will be difficult for you to get out." Chen Zhiyan and others blocked the sedan chair.
"Jingyun, listen to your grandmother and come out quickly!" Qin hurried down the stairs and stood in front of the sedan chair like them.
Shen Jingyun never said a word.
Nanny Gui was guarding beside the sedan chair. Seeing that Xie Changning did not chase out, she raised her eyes and gave a look to the imperial guards.
"Either get out of here or die." Dozens of royal guards drew their swords from their waists.
"Ah!" Qin was the first to be frightened. She trembled and quickly backed away, only shouting Shen Jingyun.
Threaten death?
Why does she do this?
Jingyun is not her daughter. Not to mention that Xie Changning is still alive, even if he threatens to die, it should be her, the mother, who should come.
Who is not afraid of death?
Shen Zhiyan and the others were so frightened that they retreated again and again.
"Lift the sedan!" Nanny Gui took Shen Jingyun and left in front of them in a dignified manner.
Shen Jingyun sat in the sedan chair, tears streaming down her face. Humiliation and hatred intertwined together, making her heart feel like it was about to burst.
When she traveled on weekdays, she mostly took a carriage, but occasionally she would take a sedan chair on a whim.
But she had always sat in a sedan chair carried by four people. When had she ever sat in a sedan chair carried by two people? It could only barely accommodate her. She had to sit properly, otherwise she would bump into things.
This was the most humiliating experience in her life.
"Mother, I hate you. Just wait for me, I will make you regret it." She dug her nails into her skin and spoke word by word with a distorted face.
The reason why she ended up in this state today was all because of her mother's failure to save her.
What's wrong with being a concubine?
Brother Wen Jing is the Prince of Danyang.
Even if she became Brother Wen Jing's concubine, it would be better than marrying Gu Huaijin as his wife.
Besides, with her status, being a concubine is only temporary. She dares to conclude that Brother Wen Jing still has her in his heart, but it was just because of what happened today that Brother Wen Jing was angry for the time being.
As long as Brother Wen Jing nods, he can straighten her up at any time.
By then, she will still be the Princess of a County.
When her mother saw her, she still had to greet her.
The more Shen Jingyun thought about it, the happier she felt. She actually felt that being Song Wenjing's concubine was not a bad thing.
Suddenly she thought of something and looked at her belly with burning eyes. Maybe she was already pregnant with Brother Wen Jing's child...
A mother is honored by her son!
This is Brother Wen Jing's eldest son. It will be difficult for her not to be promoted to the legal wife when the time comes.
Her heart was burning with passion, and she didn't even feel that the sedan was cramped.
After she left.
Qin brought Shen Zhiyan and the others to find Xie Changning to settle the score, but unexpectedly, Qixia Courtyard was locked, and no one responded no matter how they shouted.
Looking at the tightly closed courtyard gate, Qin was shocked. Could it be that Xie Changning really knew something?
"It seems that mother is determined not to care about fourth sister anymore. Grandmother, what should we do now? Are we just going to watch fourth sister become someone else's concubine?" Several people looked at Qin in unison.
Qin, “…”
If she had a way, why would she wait until now?
She is not Xie Changning, who is fearless because of her status as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Does she have to rush to the Princess's Mansion with her old bones and a cane in hand?
She thought about it and said, "Your mother has to step in to handle this matter."
Shen Zhizhou rolled his eyes and said, "The problem is that mother refuses to come forward."
Qin Shi made up her mind, "Then you should kneel here and beg her. Keep kneeling until she changes her mind. Your eldest brother has caused such a mess. Jingyun must not be allowed to be a concubine. Otherwise, what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, your mother loves you guys the most. It won't be long before she compromises." She said confidently.
Chen Zhiyan thought for a moment, "Mother is now cold-blooded and ruthless. She is no longer the mother she used to be. I'm afraid that even if we die here, she won't change her mind. My eldest brother is a lesson for me. Why don't I go to the Duke's Mansion and ask my grandmother to intervene? If my fourth sister really becomes someone's concubine, even the Duke's Mansion will be disgraced."
"Then you all go together. Your grandmother has always loved you. When the time comes, you can cry for a while and the matter will be settled. Not only can Jingyun be rescued, but your grandmother will definitely teach your mother a lesson. It's their fault for not educating their daughter well in the Duke's Mansion." Qin said hurriedly. Why didn't she think of this!
As soon as Shen Zhiyan and the others left the house, Xie Changning received the news.
She had been on guard against this move of theirs.
Even if they shout at the top of their lungs tonight, the Duke's Mansion will not open the door for them.
Shen Jingyun was full of fighting spirit before getting out of the sedan chair, but after getting out and standing in front of the corner gate, her face was extremely ugly.
Especially when Aunt Gui made a gesture of invitation to her, and then laughed contemptuously, "Why does Aunt Shen still want to go through the main gate? Don't you consider your current status and whether you are worthy of it?"
