Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 118 General's Concubine 2

That’s right, in Jiang Chunxi’s opinion, Yue Zhen’s wife’s upbringing of her children was not just revenge on the original owner, but more importantly, revenge on Yue Zhen.

If you want to take revenge on a man, what better revenge is there than destroying his offspring?

Jiang Chunxi was certain that after the original owner's death in her previous life, the news that her two children had poisoned their biological mother would soon spread from the General's Mansion. If that were true, the two children would be completely ruined.

In fact, Jiang Chunxi admired what Yue Zhen's wife did. It was rare for a woman in ancient times to retaliate so cruelly against her betrayed husband.

But the other party was wrong. She shouldn't have taken revenge on the original owner as well. It wasn't the original owner who seduced Yue Zhen. She was just a servant who obeyed her master's arrangement to become Yue Zhen's concubine. She had always been well-behaved and had no ambitions.

If Yue Zhen's wife also hated the original owner, it would be understandable, but she could not kill him and let him die at the hands of her own flesh and blood. How cruel that would be!

So although Jiang Chunxi admired the cruelty of Yue Zhen's wife, she did not dare to agree with her cruelty.

"Chunxi, the old lady wants you to go see her, so hurry up and go to the old lady's room." A maid poked her head in from outside and said to Jiang Chunxi:

"I'll go right away." Jiang Chunxi immediately put down the headband she was embroidering, stood up, straightened her clothes, and hurried out.

Soon, Jiang Chunxi came to the old lady's room.

Jiang Chunxi first bowed to the old lady, then asked with a smile: "Old lady, do you want me to come here for any instructions?"

"Come here, come closer and let me take a closer look." The old lady showed a gentle and kind smile and waved to Jiang Chunxi.

"Hey!" Jiang Chunxi responded with a smile and walked up to the old lady.

The old lady took Jiang Chunxi's hand and looked her over carefully before she asked with a smile, "How old are you this year?"

There were so many servants and maids in the yard that it was impossible for the old lady to remember the age of every servant.

"Eighteen," Jiang Chunxi replied with a smile, "I am already eighteen. I entered the old lady's courtyard to serve her when I was twelve, and it has been six years."

"You're eighteen!" The old lady's eyes were more satisfied. "Eighteen is the best age for a girl. Do you have a crush on someone? If so, don't be shy. You must tell me the truth."

Although she likes this girl, if she already has a lover, the old lady will naturally not break up the couple.

Jiang Chunxi blushed and shook her head: "I just want to serve the old lady for the rest of my life, I don't want to get married. If I'm not planning to get married, how can I have a crush on someone?"

"Silly girl," the old lady let go of Jiang Chunxi's hand and said with a smile, "I am already this old, and I only have a few more years left to live. How can I let you, a beautiful girl, waste your time by my side and turn yourself into an old maid? When I am gone, it will be too late for you to think about getting married and finding someone to rely on!"

"Then I won't marry either," Jiang Chunxi said coquettishly, "I'll be an old maid if I become one! Anyway, I just want to serve the old lady, I don't want to marry. What's more, the old lady is such a good person, she will definitely live a hundred years, so please don't say unlucky words, old lady!"

"Haha! You kid!" The old lady was amused by Jiang Chunxi's words, "I don't dare to dream of living a hundred years, as long as I can hold my great-grandson, I will be very satisfied, it's a pity..."

"Alas!" The old lady sighed, "It's a pity that the young lady's belly has not moved. My wish has not been fulfilled!"

"Madam, I believe that the young lady will definitely bring good news soon," Jiang Chunxi comforted her, "After all, the old lady is such a good person, often doing charity outside. Many poor people who can't even afford to eat have survived because of the old lady's frequent porridge distribution over the years."

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Over the years, the old lady has saved countless lives. This is a great merit. I believe that God will not let the old lady down. Maybe next year the old lady will be able to hold her great-grandson in her arms."

"Yes! You are right." The old lady agreed with Jiang Chunxi's words, but the person who could let her hold her great-grandson was not her granddaughter-in-law.

It's been six years already, and the old lady no longer has any hope for her granddaughter-in-law. If she could get pregnant, she would have done so long ago. Why would she have to wait for so many years, but there's still no movement in her granddaughter-in-law's belly.

"Child," the old lady looked at Jiang Chunxi and asked seriously, "If I want you to be the general's concubine, are you willing?"

Yue Zhen is now a general with a large army under his command, no longer a young general who has just started out.

"I dare not," Jiang Chunxi knelt down in fear, "The general and the young lady are in harmony with each other. Everyone in this mansion knows how good the relationship between the general and the young lady is. It is impossible for the general to take a concubine and hurt the young lady's feelings, so please don't scare me, old lady."

"Hurry up and get up. Why are you kneeling here for no reason?" The old lady asked Jiang Chunxi to get up first. After she saw Jiang Chunxi get up, she continued, "About the matter of giving the general a concubine, of course the general has to agree to it. I asked you to come here to ask for your opinion. You are a good child, and you look like you are good at giving birth. That's why I chose you."

"Alas!" Then the old lady sighed again, "If possible, I don't want to be the bad guy and give my grandson a concubine, making his wife resent me. But isn't this because the young lady is not pregnant?"

"And the Yue family only has Zhen'er left. If Zhen'er is a literary man, then I can wait a little longer. Maybe the young lady will have good news in two years."

"But Zhen'er is the same as his grandfather and father. He has chosen the path of a military man. He has been on the march and fighting outside for many years. I am afraid that he will also die on the battlefield. That is why I am anxious to have him leave a descendant for the Yue family."

As she spoke, the old lady couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

Whenever the old lady mentioned her husband and son who died on the battlefield, she felt extremely sad.

Jiang Chunxi's eyes also turned red, as if she was infected by the old lady's sad mood.

The old lady quickly wiped her wet eyes, then looked at Jiang Chunxi and said, "I asked you to come here today mainly to ask for your opinion. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"I..." Jiang Chunxi bit her lip, and then her eyes became firm, "I am willing. As long as I can give birth to a child for the general and make the old lady happy, I am willing to be the general's concubine."
