Chapter 105: Lady of the Marquisate
Chapter 105: Lady of the Marquisate
"A girl should obey her father before she gets married and her husband after she gets married. Since you've married into my family, you should regard me as your heaven." The third place winner had a cold face. He originally thought that An Changle was pretty and felt a little pity for her. He was willing to give her face, but it was a pity that she was too confused and not the daughter of a wealthy family. If he didn't have the support of the Marquis' Mansion, he would not marry such a woman. He was so self-righteous.
"Chun Xing is not feeling well, I will go to her place today." After saying this, Tanhualang flicked his sleeves and turned away without hesitation. As for his face, haha, this is his mansion, and everyone has to live by his mood. So what if An Changle is his newlywed wife, after all, she is just a woman.
An Changle was so angry that she jumped to her feet and ordered the maids around her to go and stop the Tanhualang. However, she only brought a few maids with her, so she couldn't stop him at all. She could only watch Tanhualang leave, which was a ridiculous scene.
"I paid so much to marry you, how could you treat me like this? Where's your conscience? Has it been eaten by dogs? You abandoned your newlywed wife for a concubine. You are favoring your concubine over your wife."
An Changle was so angry that she burst into tears and even doubted whether her insistence was right. But in the end, she did not blame the third place winner. Instead, she vented all her anger on Chun Xing.
The next morning, as soon as Tanhualang left, An Changle pressed Chun Xing to the ground and sold her away despite the housekeeper's attempt to stop her.
When the third place winner came back, the matter was already settled. He pointed at An Changle angrily and said, "No wonder the Marquis's Mansion promised you so many benefits in order to get you to marry me. You are such an arrogant and domineering person. If I had known this, I would never have married a jealous woman like you, even if it cost me my life."
An Changle did not think that he was jealous, on the contrary, he felt that he did the right thing. "What did I do wrong? You abandoned me on your wedding night and ran to my concubine. This is called spoiling your wife and destroying her. If outsiders knew about it, they would definitely blame you. By then, you would never be able to become an official, and I guess you would never achieve anything great in your life.
I advise you not to mess with me. My family is not easy to mess with. If you really make me angry, I will ask them to take away your official hat and let you go home as a commoner. "
Tanhualang looked at the other party's confident tone, frowned and tried hard to recall the identity of this An Changle. But after thinking about it, he realized that she was just an ordinary girl from the sixth room of the An family.
"You are so arrogant! Who do you think you are? The daughter of the current emperor?
There isn't even an official in your sixth branch. If it weren't for the Marquis' Mansion not despising and willing to remind you, your whole family would have starved to death long ago.
I am willing to marry you because of the favors promised to me. You really think you are such a great person and are so good at flattering yourself."
An Changle was unhappy and shouted, "Do you know who I am? I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. In order to marry you, I disobeyed my parents and even risked my own life. That's why they adopted me to the Sixth House. Otherwise, with your status, do you think you can marry the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion?
I could have married a prince, but I gave up my wealth for you. What have you done for me? You slapped me in the face for a concubine on our wedding night. If I don't sell that concubine off, everyone will laugh at me. You are stabbing me in the heart."
The third place winner was stunned. He felt that something was wrong. Even if the Marquis's family really loved their distant niece, it was impossible for them to promise so many benefits for her marriage. Could it be that An Changle was really the Marquis's legitimate daughter?
If that's the case, then I've really picked up a great bargain. Not to mention being able to rise to the top, just by relying on the identity of the marquis's son-in-law, I can work less for thirty years.
Tanhualang still felt a little sorry for his concubine named Chun Xing. Not only was she charming, but she also had a great figure and most importantly, a great voice. It was a pity that she was sold out like this. He could only sigh with regret, but then put on a smiling face and looked at An Changle.
"My lady, I don't mean to blame you. Chun Xing has been with me for so many years. Even if she did something wrong, you can just beat her and scold her. There is no need to sell her off. I wonder if people will think we can't afford to support a servant."
The third place winner is willing to humble himself and coax others because, on the one hand, he values the other person's status and wants to gain future benefits.
After all, An Changle couldn't bear to blame the other party, so her eyes suddenly turned red. She threw herself into the arms of the third place winner and said aggrievedly.
“My dear husband, I didn’t mean to make you angry. It was mainly because of that bad woman. She actually called you out on our wedding night.
My husband, you are the person I cherish most in my life. For you, I even gave up my status as a legitimate daughter of a marquis. You must never let me down. "
Tanhua Lang naturally agreed, but...
"Madam, are you really the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion?"
An Changle nodded affirmatively, "Of course, if it weren't for the stunning glimpse I had of you at Fu Man Lou, I wouldn't have insisted on marrying you."
Tanhua Lang smiled and said, "Since you are the daughter of the Marquis's family, women don't worry overnight. When the day comes for your birthday, I will take you back to meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law."
An Changle nodded, "I should go back and meet them. They didn't let me marry you before, and even gave me to someone like the Sixth Room. Although I was angry, I also understood that my parents just wanted to teach me a lesson. Now that I'm married, I think they should forgive my mistakes."
An Changle still thought that his parents were joking with him and did not take the fact that his parents severed ties with him to heart at all. For the next three days, An Changle and Tanhualang were in love with each other. These were also the happiest three days in their lives. After all, both of them had their own ulterior motives.
On the third day, on the day of his return home, Su Tong received a visiting card from the third place winner of the imperial examination, and his head was full of question marks.
"Is this scholar correct? Even if he is going to return home, he should go to the Sixth House. Why is he coming to our mansion?" Su Tong was so angry that he laughed and threw the post aside. "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and ask the Sixth House to come and pick him up."
The housekeeper nodded and bowed, walked out of the door, and with a stern face, asked a few eloquent servants to inform the people in the sixth room. Fortunately, the two houses were not particularly far away.
Su Tong didn't think of leaving them outside. After all, they were visiting, so she just threw them at the door, and people passing by would have something to watch. After all, this was a marquis' mansion, and she didn't want to be watched by others, so she asked the servants to take them into the side hall.
"Madam, are you sure your mother-in-law has calmed down?" The decent smile on Tanhualang's face was almost unable to be maintained, because the servants in the marquis's mansion all had cold faces. This was not the look they showed when they were looking forward to seeing their son-in-law.
An Changle was just a familiar maid. "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and let my mother come over, or I'll sell you all out."
