Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 323 The Legal Wife in the Concubine's Story 4

Birds flew by outside the window from time to time. Zhai Lingruo was lying on the bed, her face was terribly pale, but it was all just makeup.

The old lady arranged for someone to come and take care of her, and also sent someone to tell her that she didn't need to pay any more respects in the future and asked her to have a good rest.

Zhai Lingruo curled the corners of her lips. She didn't want to be like the original owner, who had to go there early every day to pay her respects for more than ten years. At the beginning, the old lady's attitude towards the original owner was good, but later when the original owner couldn't have children, she always tortured her, making the original owner serve tea with boiling hot tea in her bare hands, or making the original owner wait outside for an hour in the cold winter before letting her in.

If it were Zhai Lingruo who was bullied by the old lady like this, she would definitely retaliate.

Like to drink tea? Then it is reasonable that she accidentally spilled the scalding hot tea on the old lady.

Not to mention that this top-quality tea was taken from the original owner's dowry and was worth a fortune. He gave it to this old woman as a gift without even considering whether she deserved it or not.

Let her kneel? Then the old lady would scold her granddaughter-in-law harshly and let her pass out in the snow, and the reputation of the Marquisate would be ruined.

She would not care about the so-called reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. After all, the Marquis' Mansion would eventually fall into decline, so what would be a pity if it lost its reputation?

Zhai Lingruo "recuperated" in bed for a few days. She took this opportunity to replace all the servants in the courtyard with her own confidants. She also sent people to inquire about the latest situation in the capital and arranged personnel to manage the shops under her name.

In the courtyard lake, several red koi fish were vying for the fish food that fell from the vermilion railings. Zhai Lingruo leaned over and waved a few handfuls of fish food, supporting her chin with one hand, revealing a white wrist.

"Madam." Cui'er walked forward and spoke respectfully.

"What's the matter?" The koi fluttered their arms to grab the food, causing ripples in the lake.

"The prince is back."

Jiang Huaiqing? Finally willing to come out of the land of gentleness?

Zhai Lingruo chuckled, "The prince's official business has finally been dealt with."

Outside the vermilion railing, Jiang Huaiqing also came over after hearing the servants say that Zhai Lingruo was in the courtyard. He did not like his wife and did not want to touch her, otherwise he would not have found an excuse to hide away on his wedding night.

Jiang Huaiqing saw from afar a woman in a snow-blue dress leaning on the railing with a gentle smile on her face. She was feeding fish food to the fish in the lake, revealing her snow-white wrists. She exuded a free and easy spirit that was different from that of a woman from an aristocratic family. Obviously, there were other people around the woman, but at this moment, Jiang Huaiqing only saw her.

"Madam." Jiang Huaiqing walked forward, his eyes never leaving Zhai Lingruo.

"Prince." Zhai Lingruo stood up and scattered all the remaining fish food into the lake.

"You go down first." Jiang Huaiqing glanced at the servants around Zhai Lingruo indifferently.

"Yes."

The man in front of him was handsome, elegant and easy-going. He was favored by many women in Beijing, so naturally he couldn't be too bad.

"Your Highness, you have worked hard these past few days."

Jiang Huaiqing was slightly stunned. His new wife did not blame him for not being with her on her wedding day. She was indeed the eldest daughter of a famous family.

"Ling Ruo, I came here today because I have something important to tell you."

Zhai Lingruo was calm inside, but her face was filled with confusion. "Sir, what's going on?"

Jiang Huaiqing lowered his voice, "This matter is serious, and I don't want to hide it from you." He closed his eyes, as if he was very sad, "I can't get it."

"Ah..." Zhai Lingruo covered her lips in surprise.

"No one else in the Marquis' Mansion knows about this, but I don't want to hide it from you." Jiang Huaiqing's eyes moved slightly and he looked straight at Zhai Lingruo.

"The prince has always been chaste and has no concubines or maids in his mansion. Is this the reason?" Zhai Lingruo asked knowingly. She knew that the hero was not interested in other women except the heroine.

Not entirely... Li Xintang's face flashed through Jiang Huaiqing's mind. From the beginning to the end, the only person he wanted to marry was her. If not for some coincidence or the coercion of his grandmother and father, he would never marry any other woman.

Jiang Huaiqing shook his head, "Not entirely. I only want to be with the one I love for the rest of my life, so I don't want any other third party."

After he said this, he looked at Zhai Lingruo with tenderness and affection, as if the beloved person he was talking about was her.

Zhai Lingruo was not as moved by Jiang Huaiqing's words as the original owner. She lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking.

"The prince is so loyal. It's rare to see a man like him in this world."

It is indeed rare. People like Jiang Huaiqing married a woman he did not love for the man he loved, and then pretended to be a virgin. But when he gained power, he kicked away the woman who occupied the position of wife.

"Lingruo, if you think I'm sick and want to divorce, I'll allow you to do so. But we've just gotten married and our two families are very close, so divorce now is not a good idea. Wait two years and then we can divorce." He continued, "I can't be humane. You can also stay in the Marquis' Mansion. When I inherit the title, you will be the only Marquis's wife and there won't be any messy women."

Jiang Huaiqing's eyes were burning, he was looking at another woman through Zhai Lingruo.

The only lady of the Marquis's Mansion would be Li Xintang.

"Is the prince's disease congenital?" Zhai Lingruo did not agree directly.

"Yeah." Jiang Huaiqing nodded.

"Sir, our Zhai family knows several famous doctors who may be able to treat your illness. I will write a letter to my family in two days and ask them to arrange for a doctor to come to the capital to treat you."

"No!" Jiang Huaiqing's heart trembled. How could Zhai Lingruo be so rude? Wouldn't a normal girl be embarrassed to speak of such a thing? Or maybe she felt ashamed and kept the matter a secret?

If people outside really knew about it, then his "illness" would probably become the talk of the whole capital. Jiang Huaiqing knew that he was capable, otherwise he would not have a three-year-old child with Li Xintang.

But...this matter cannot be known to others.

"Prince, please do not be shy about practicing medicine." Zhai Lingruo looked at him innocently, like a good wife who was worried about her husband.

"Lingruo, listen to me. It will not be glorious if this matter gets out. It will also be bad for the reputation of both families." Jiang Huaiqing said calmly.

The face of the two families? Zhai Lingruo sneered in her heart. It was Jiang Huaiqing who was impotent and it was also Jiang Huaiqing who was embarrassed. At this time, she knew that she was dragging the Zhai family into the same boat.

"Well... okay." Zhai Lingruo nodded and pursed her red lips, as if she was shocked by the bad news. Her husband was incompetent and she had to keep the secret, so she had to stay alone in the empty room.

Having achieved his goal, Jiang Huaiqing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"I'll go with you to see grandma later." Jiang Huaiqing stood beside her and watched the fish playing in the lake with her.

"Ah."

The servants waiting in the distance looked at the Crown Prince and his wife, who looked like a perfect couple, and couldn't help but sigh. If he were the Crown Prince, he would definitely not be cold to such a beautiful woman.

It has to be the old lady who knows how to choose her grandson's wife.

Zhai Lingruo stared at the swimming fish. The depression on her face seemed to be dispelled by this scene, and she couldn't help but curl her lips.

Although this couple is at peace with each other, they each have their own ulterior motives.

The koi in the lake seemed to have overeaten and their stomachs turned sideways.

Zhai Lingruo laughed out loud and glanced at Jiang Huaiqing, "My Lord, they are too greedy. They didn't stop eating even when they were full. In the end, they suffered the consequences."
