The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

Chapter 264 Cousin, Please Respect Yourself

After a long time, Su Qing came out of the study and shook her sore and numb hands. This man is really unacceptable. Who wants to buy him? Sell him quickly!

Xu Shanshan deliberately cried all the way back to the old lady's yard.

Seeing Xu Shanshan burst into tears, the old lady quickly asked, "What's wrong? Shanshan? Who bullied you? Tell your aunt, and your aunt will help you teach her a lesson!"

Xu Shanshan knelt down crying!

"Please forgive me, Auntie! I didn't mean it!"

"But what happened? Tell me slowly!"

"Yesterday, Shanshan saw that my cousin's wife had a poor appetite due to pregnancy, so I thought of making some cakes for her. In order to make her appetite, I deliberately put some trumpet creeper pollen in it. I never thought that my cousin's wife thought I was harming her. Aunt, please believe Shanshan. Shanshan really didn't want to harm my cousin's wife, let alone my cousin's child! Wuuuuuu..."

"Is your cousin okay?"

"My cousin's wife is an expert in medicine and is allergic to herbs, so naturally she didn't eat them. But I really have good intentions!"

"Auntie knows you mean well, but you don't understand. Next time you need to use something, just ask. There are many things that you can't touch when you are with children."

"Thank you for your trust, aunt. Can you teach me what I shouldn't touch? If I see that my cousin's wife has no appetite, I will cook some more delicious food for her to avoid making mistakes."

"Forget it, let her eat whatever she likes! It won't make my Shanshan suffer any more. Come, sit down with your aunt. Your aunt will ask you, what do you think?"

"Aunt~"

"Hey, good girl, don't be shy. You will get married sooner or later. Tell your aunt about your idea!"

"Of course I am willing to stay with my aunt. Here, my aunt is my family. Shanshan will listen to my aunt." Xu Shanshan leaned shyly in the old lady's arms.

"Good child, but I'm sorry to wrong you. You know, they are married by the emperor. Unless Su Qing dies, she can only be the marquis' wife. I can only let you be Jing'er's concubine! Are you willing?"

"I don't feel wronged now that my aunt loves me."

The old lady patted Xu Shanshan's hand gently, expressing her satisfaction. She decided to find an opportunity to talk to Jiang Weiyang and arrange for Xu Shanshan to enter the house.

Xu Shanshan waited for a few days, but there was no news from the old lady, and she was somewhat anxious. It must be Su Qing who was interfering, so her cousin was reluctant to take her into the room, so she had to think of a way.

That day, Princess Shaohua took Su Qing to Lingyun Temple to pray for blessings.

Xu Shanshan took advantage of Su Qing's absence and came up with a plan. Whether it would succeed or not depended on today.

Jiang Weiyang was practicing walking with crutches at this time. When Xu Shanshan came to the front yard and saw that Jiang Weiyang could walk, she was very happy.

"Cousin, I made some food. You haven't had lunch yet, right? Take a break. You're sweating all over." Xu Shanshan said as she took out a handkerchief to wipe Jiang Weiyang's sweat.

Jiang Weiyang was using a crutch, so he might not be able to dodge as quickly as someone in a wheelchair, so he had to be brushed by Xu Shanshan several times before he could dodge.

Seeing this, Rufeng and others in the yard felt that Xu Shanshan had come with bad intentions.

"Cousin, shall I help you in to eat?"

"No, just put it down and go back!"

"Does my cousin hate me so much?"

"Since you are a guest at the Marquis' Mansion, just behave yourself and don't come to my yard all the time. There will be a poetry gathering in a few days. Let your cousin take you there and see which young man you like. I will help you to find out."

"Cousin~ I don't want to go to any poetry gathering or see any young master. I~~ I like you, cousin, and I just want to see you."

When Xu Shanshan saw Su Qing walking towards them from the corridor, she turned her eyes and threw herself into Jiang Weiyang's arms.

Before Jiang Weiyang could say anything, Xu Shanshan hugged him. He was leaning on crutches and couldn't push Xu Shanshan away.

"Cousin, please respect yourself."

Little did he know that this scene was seen by Su Qing who happened to come rushing over.
