Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 320 The Legal Wife in the Concubine's Story 1

It was March, and it rained early in the morning. The whole mansion was shrouded in drizzle. In the inner courtyard, a beautiful woman stood up with the help of a maid. The maid tied her hair into a bun for her. "Madam, it's time to go and pay respects to the old lady."

"There's still an hour left, why rush?" Zhai Lingruo glanced at the little maid calmly, and the little maid immediately fell silent.

Three days after getting married, except for the wedding ceremony on the wedding day, she had never seen the prince again. The lady even lifted her veil herself. The little maid looked at Lingruo with a bit of pity in her eyes.

But the lady was also very nice. Knowing that the Marquis was here on official business, she did not make a fuss. Instead, she was very gentle and considerate. She understood the prince's behavior and did not blame him too much for the grievances he suffered on his wedding night.

Because the old lady was old and used to getting up early, the lady went to pay her respects an hour in advance. It was obviously not yet time to pay her respects, but to show her filial piety and to leave a good impression in front of the old lady, she really gave the marquis's mansion enough respect even though she was the eldest daughter of a noble family.

However, Madam plans to go there today at the prescribed time for paying respects.

Zhai Lingruo sat in front of the window. It was drizzling outside. Occasionally, the wind blew the rain in, mixed with the scent of flowers and plants outside the yard.

The original owner was the eldest daughter of the Zhai family, a prominent family. Her mother passed away when she was ten years old, leaving behind her father and younger brother. Her parents had a very strong relationship and did not choose to remarry.

When the original owner reached the age of marriage, there were many suitors for her. After her family found a suitable man for her, they married her to Jiang Huaiqing, the son of the Marquis of Jing'an in the capital.

Her father and brother loved her very much and gave her a generous dowry, allowing her to marry into the marquis's mansion with great fanfare.

In the eyes of outsiders, the young men from Jianghuai were promising and handsome, and were popular husband candidates for the noble ladies in Beijing. In the eyes of outsiders, this marriage was a perfect match, with the man being talented and the woman being beautiful, and a perfect match.

The original owner thought so too, so she had no objection to marrying into the Marquis' Mansion. She also wanted to be a good mistress of the house, manage the household affairs, and take care of the entire family in the Marquis' Mansion.

She hadn't seen her husband for three days after their marriage. Although she had some complaints, she also knew that husband and wife are one body and her husband also had important things to do, so she didn't blame him too much.

She never thought that her husband was actually staying in the mistress's room outside.

The concubine was named Li Xintang. She was originally the legitimate daughter of a third-rank official in the capital. Her father's family was confiscated and exterminated for embezzling disaster relief money from the people, and the women in her family were reduced to working in the Jiaofang Bureau.

Jiang Huaiqing has had a crush on Li Xintang for a long time, but unfortunately Li Xintang has never been interested in him. When his beloved falls into the mortal world, naturally he rescues her on the condition that she becomes his concubine.

Li Xintang was unwilling to enter the mansion as a concubine, and her identity was also embarrassing, so she chose to live outside and become Jiang Huaiqing's mistress.

She actually had a crush on Jiang Huaiqing, but she loved him without realizing it and had always been thinking about leaving him. Only because Jiang Huaiqing rescued her did she give herself to him and became his mistress, never daring to think of anything more.

The two of them soon had a child. Li Xintang originally wanted to abort the child, but when Jiang Huaiqing found out, she went crazy and said, "Li Xintang, do you really not want my child? Forget it."

Finally, they were forced to keep the child. When the child was three years old, the relationship between the two gradually turned from cold to warm. Slowly, Li Xintang let go of the grudges in her heart and began to accept Jiang Huaiqing.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, because Jiang Huaiqing was reluctant to marry or take a concubine. The old lady was anxious like an ant on hot pot. Young talents of the same age had already married and had children, but her grandson kept delaying and even refused to take a maid.

Gradually, the old lady developed a strange feeling, so she secretly sent someone to follow Jiang Huaiqing and discovered that he had been in contact with Li Xintang, the daughter of a guilty minister, and the two even had a three-year-old son.

The old lady was so angry that she fainted on the spot. After waking up, she punished Jiang Huaiqing with family rules, ordering him to break up with Li Xintang as soon as possible, bring his grandson back, and get married.

If other noble ladies knew about this, I'm afraid no respectable family in the capital would marry their daughters into the family. Although it was quite reasonable for a man to take concubines and have children in that era, the eldest son was already three years old, which was really disrespectful to the wife who had not yet married into the family.

The old lady's plan was naturally to keep the truth a secret. She would stab that woman Li Xintang to death and take her great-grandson to raise as her own. After all, the child was cute and he was a boy. As she got older, her heart softened. However, she certainly could not tell anyone that he was Jiang Huaiqing's son.

Jiang Huaiqing naturally refused. He confronted the old lady and the marquis. In the end, both sides took a step back. The old lady and the marquis did not touch Li Xintang, and he married another woman.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about marrying Li Xintang. The old lady was furious, “We in the Jiang family will never allow such a woman to become the wife of the prince.”

"Huai Qing, you'd better think about it. If you marry Li Xintang who has no help, your career in officialdom will be difficult in the future."

Jiang Huaiqing remained silent for a long time, but finally couldn't stand the pressure from his father and grandmother and chose to bow his head.

On the wedding day, after Jiang Huaiqing and the original owner completed all the procedures, the original owner waited in the bridal chamber, while Jiang Huaiqing was called away by his friend who was disguised as a "colleague", saying that he had important matters to deal with and would come back in a few days, and asked her to wait in the marquis' mansion.

In fact, he went to Li Xintang's place. Li Xintang was already heartbroken because of his marriage. When she saw Jiang Huaiqing coming, she suppressed her heartbreak and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Li Xintang, do you really want me to accompany other women?" Jiang Huaiqing's eyes were as cold as ice.

"I... after all, she is your newlywed wife, the Crown Prince's wife. The Crown Prince should go back earlier and not waste the auspicious time with me."

Jiang Huaiqing laughed in anger, "Good, very good, Li Xintang, you have become more capable."

He pushed Li Xintang onto her bed, and despite her struggles, he forced her to spend another night with him.

At this time, the original owner in the bridal chamber had no idea that her husband, who was busy with official duties, was sleeping in the arms of another woman.

She was still waiting for her husband to return from his official duties so that she could become a real couple with him.

But this excuse had already been used up. After all, the original owner was a lady from a noble family, and she couldn't be too disrespectful, so Jiang Huaiqing came back.

Looking at her handsome husband, the original owner was naturally satisfied. However, who knew that Jiang Huaiqing actually told her a shocking piece of news.

Jiang Huaiqing's handsome face was full of guilt: "Aruo, you and I are husband and wife, there are some things I shouldn't hide from you."

The original owner was a little confused and clenched her handkerchief, "What's wrong, husband? If you encounter any difficulties, I am willing to help you solve them."

"That is..." Jiang Huaiqing gritted his teeth, "I am impotent."
