Chapter 53 It’s his turn to regret!
Nanny Lin said immediately.
"Madam, concubines are divided into good concubines and bad concubines. If a good concubine is young, beautiful, and talented, she can be sold for hundreds or even thousands of taels... Even the worst bad concubine, as long as she has healthy limbs, good teeth, and good appearance, can be sold for at least forty or fifty taels."
Jiang Wanning couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this.
"Oh, this is quite valuable! Tell the servants to guard the door. As soon as the fat pig comes to the door, bah, I said it wrong... as soon as the prince's concubine comes to the door, they will immediately catch her, put her in a sack, and sell her outside!
I'll buy some pregnancy-maintaining medicine and bird's nest later to give Qingqing some nourishment and help calm her nerves."
Nanny Lin nodded and agreed quickly.
"Madam, don't worry. I've already made all the arrangements! I'm just waiting for the money to be delivered to my door!"
Xipo: "..."
What should I do? She's a little tempted to run away. Could the Marquis sell her out too?
If she had known earlier, she should not have been greedy for that little bit of money and took on this dangerous job!
Murong Yan'er also stopped and dared not move forward.
Others might say this to scare her, but when Jiang said this... nine out of ten times she really meant it!
In the end, she underestimated Jiang's methods, which made her come up with such a sinister method.
Seeing Murong Yan'er hesitate, Jiang Wanning curled the corners of his mouth.
He said loudly.
"Alright, I've already given you the chance, but you didn't want it! Anyway, the door of my mansion is open to you today... Whether you want to enter or not is entirely up to you!
If you don't want to come in, just stand guard outside the door! It's the prince who's embarrassed anyway, so just make him the laughing stock of the entire capital!"
After saying that, Jiang Wanning led a group of servants and walked back to the mansion through the side door.
For a moment, everyone was somewhat confused about Jiang's behavior.
But seeing that the side door of the Marquis' Mansion was open, Murong Yan'er had no intention of going in, and couldn't help whispering again.
"What's going on? The door to the mansion is already open, why hasn't she gone in yet?"
"Didn't you hear what she said just now? If she enters through the main door, she's the wife. If she enters through the side door, she's the concubine... She definitely doesn't want to be a concubine!"
"Being a concubine has no status, I wouldn't want to do that either!"
"That's not the case. Aren't there many people who favor concubines over wives these days? What's more, the Marquis' Mansion already has a Crown Prince's Consort, and I heard she's just pregnant. If the Crown Prince were to take a concubine now, I'm afraid his spine would be broken if the news got out!"
"That's right! In my opinion, if she really loves Master Chong so much, she shouldn't make things difficult for him."
"I guess she's not really in love, she's just pretending! No wonder the Marquis wouldn't let her in... After all, the old ones are the wisest!"
"Humph! How can a relationship without a matchmaker be good?"
…
Hearing everyone pointing and talking, they became more and more disgusted with her, and all the sympathy and pity they had for her just now disappeared. There was only ridicule and insults.
Murong Yan'er's face gradually turned pale, and she could no longer hold on and fainted on the spot.
The matchmaker hurriedly supported her.
"Hey! Third Miss... hurry up, help Third Miss back to the sedan chair! Let's go home! Oh... I must have forgotten the almanac before going out today. I'm so embarrassed!"
…
midnight.
Shen Yutang woke up drowsily again and found that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
He had already been taken down from the tree and thrown into the woodshed.
“Hiss, it hurts…”
After touching the back of his neck, Shen Yutang climbed up from the pile of firewood. It took him a while to realize what had happened.
"Oh no... Yan'er..."
The auspicious day has passed and he broke his promise!
…
Sleeping room.
Jiang Wanning was still worried about something and couldn't fall asleep early, so he asked the kitchen to make some midnight snack.
I had just poured the wine and hadn't started to sip it when I heard the maid come in to report.
"Madam, the guard at the gate just came over and said that the prince has gone out... I'm afraid he went to the Murong Mansion to coax the third young lady..."
Jiang Wanning took a sip of wine. He had expected the bastard's character and simply didn't bother to care about it.
"Let him go! He'll regret it tomorrow! He wants it all, trying to keep everything... He'll end up with nothing."
There will be a palace banquet tomorrow.
I heard that the Queen Mother will come back from worshiping Buddha in the temple.
In the original text, Nangong Jing showed the mandarin duck pendant to the Queen Mother, and only after comparing it with the other half of the jade pendant in her hand did he recognize the "fake princess" Murong Yan'er.
Nangong Jing only took care of Murong Qing in private these days, but did not report the matter to the emperor. It must be for this reason.
Fortunately, Nangong Jing delayed for some time.
Otherwise, if Murong Qing had been allowed to return to her status as the eldest princess long ago, Murong Chao would have been too busy trying to coax Qingqing and would never have made such an excessive request, which would have completely chilled Qingqing's heart and severed the father-daughter relationship between them.
When she thought about tomorrow's palace banquet, not only would Qingqing be able to regain her identity as the eldest princess, but she could also directly "divorce" that evil creature Shen Yutang!
Jiang Wanning couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Still a little looking forward to it.
Alas, she admitted that she did not have much maternal love for Shen Yutang... After all, the author wrote him in such a bad way that she really could not love him!
Now she just wanted to see him cry bitterly and regret his actions.
After all, the essence of sadistic writing is chasing your wife to the crematorium, otherwise who would read this kind of awful stuff that would cause breast embolism!
And only when Qingqing regains her freedom can she match her with Nangong Jing and openly support them as a couple. It’s so beautiful just thinking about it!
Just as he was enjoying a drink, he saw Shen Yan walk in from outside.
Seeing him, Jiang Wanning immediately asked Baojuan to get a set of bowls and chopsticks and personally poured him a glass of wine.
"My Lord, you're back... Come, have a glass of wine to moisten your throat."
Shen Yan took the wine glass and smiled.
"Madam seems to be in a good mood today."
"Is there?"
Jiang Wanning raised his hand and touched his face, thinking that he couldn't show it too obviously, so he restrained his expression a little and changed the subject.
"By the way, Lord Marquis, you've arrived just in time... I was just about to ask someone to ask you about the progress of the task I asked you to do earlier."
Shen Yan turned around and called out.
"Lu Yao, give the things to Madam."
"yes."
Lu Yao immediately stepped forward, pulled out a booklet from his pocket, and handed it to Jiang Wanning with both hands, "Madam, everything you want is here."
Jiang Wanning took the account book, flipped through it, nodded with satisfaction, and gave instructions.
"Well done, well done... Baojuan, take a banknote and give it to Lord Lu."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Baojuan walked to the cabinet, took out a silver note and handed it to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao quickly reached out to take it, smiling from ear to ear.
"Thank you, Madam! If you need anything from me in the future, please feel free to ask me for help! Even if it means danger, I will brave the sea of fire and sword for you!"
"Oh, this kid is so sweet! Baojuan, prepare two more snacks for Lord Lu and let him have some too."
Lu Yao clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, Madam! I will be willing to sacrifice my life for you, even if it means death..."
"Alright, alright."
Shen Yan waved his hand, unable to bear watching any longer.
After Lu Yao and Baojuan left, only Jiang Wanning and Shen Yan were left in the room.
After three rounds of drinks, both of them were a little tipsy.
Jiang Wanning suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly grabbed Shen Yan's chest, pulled him in front of him, and said staggeringly.
"My Lord... I forgot to tell you something..."
