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

Chapter 149 General's Concubine 33

"Grandma, it's enough that my grandson was foolish once. How could he be foolish a second time and indirectly harm his own flesh and blood again?" Yue Zhen said with a sad and angry expression, "My grandson is so hateful! I hate Liu Yaozhu, but I hate myself even more."

"How could I be so foolish? I knew that Liu Yaozhu was so cruel that she wanted to poison my grandmother, but I still believed that she had truly repented and was led by her by the nose."

"It's not entirely your fault," the old lady said with a self-blaming look, "If I had been ruthless enough to force you to divorce Liu Yaozhu when she tried to poison me, I wouldn't have given her the chance to harm others again. So we, the grandparents, are the murderers who indirectly helped Liu Yaozhu kill her two children!"

The old lady regretted all the time, regretting why she didn't force her grandson to divorce Liu Yaozhu. If she had been cruel enough to force her grandson to divorce his wife and didn't care so much, the two children would not have been killed by Liu Yaozhu.

"Mrs. Jiang must give birth safely, without any accidents," the old lady continued, "so you have to pay more attention to me. Don't let anything happen because you are back and can't bear to be cruel to Liu Yaozhu. If you let Mrs. Jiang know about the two children and cause her miscarriage, I will never forgive you."

"Don't worry, grandma. Your grandson won't be confused again," Yue Zhen assured. "But it's not a good idea to keep Liu Yaozhu locked up all the time. Now that I'm back, if we continue to keep Liu Yaozhu locked up, I'm afraid the Liu family will get suspicious."

"So my grandson thinks that we should end things once and for all regarding Liu Yaozhu. I plan to divorce her. She is such a vicious woman, even if I lock her up, I still feel uneasy!"

In fact, the Liu family had been suspicious for a long time. After all, Liu Yaozhu hadn't returned to her parents' home for such a long time, and hadn't sent any messages to her parents' home. How could the Liu family not be suspicious?

But the old lady was no pushover. When the Liu family sent servants to the general's mansion to inquire, the old lady sent them away with just a few words. In addition, the power of the general's mansion was not comparable to that of the Liu family. Therefore, even if the Liu family had some suspicions, they did not dare to come directly to the door.

Of course, the most important thing is that their daughter has been childless since she married into the general's mansion, which makes the Liu family even more afraid to show off. In addition, the old lady has a very good reputation in the capital and is known as a kind-hearted person.

Therefore, even if Liu Yaozhu really suffered some injustice in the General's Mansion, it was probably just being bullied by the elders, and nothing would really happen. That's why the Liu family was not eager to know about their daughter's situation in the General's Mansion, and planned to wait until Yue Zhen came back.

Liu Yaozhu's parents are very satisfied with Yue Zhen, their son-in-law. They have always seen how much Yue Zhen loves their daughter, so they want to wait for Yue Zhen to come back.

They believed that with how much Yue Zhen cared about their daughter, when he came back and found out that their daughter had been wronged, he would definitely help her seek justice, so they just needed to wait for Yue Zhen to come back and there was no need to worry too much about their daughter.

"Then divorce her!" The old lady agreed with her grandson's idea of ​​divorcing his wife. "Now that you are back, Aunt Jiang is pregnant again. It is really uneasy to keep a vicious woman like Liu Yaozhu in the general's mansion."

"By the way, when you entered the palace, did you tell His Majesty about Aunt Jiang's achievements at the border? Not to mention how many soldiers Aunt Jiang saved at the border, just to say that Aunt Jiang innovated the suturing technique, she should also be rewarded by His Majesty."

After her grandson divorced Liu Yaozhu, the old lady didn't plan to remarry him. Otherwise, who knows whether the person he married is a human or a ghost?

And since he was not planning on letting his grandson remarry, he had to improve Chunxi's status, so that when Chunxi went out and socialized with others in the future, she would not be looked down upon because of her background.

Of course, the old lady had no intention of making Chunxi her principal wife. After all, a concubine could not be made principal, and Chunxi could not be made principal either. However, all social interactions of the general's mansion in the future would definitely be handed over to Chunxi.

Therefore, Chunxi's status must be improved, lest she be looked down upon when she goes out to socialize with others in the future, or else people would say that the general's mansion has no rules and allows a concubine to be the boss.

Yue Zhen: "My grandson has already submitted a memorial to the emperor. His Majesty is very appreciative of Chunxi's achievements at the border. He will issue an edict to confer Chunxi the title of fifth-rank consort tomorrow."

"That's good," the old lady nodded. "With the fifth-rank concubine conferred by His Majesty, Chunxi won't be afraid of being looked down upon when she goes out to socialize in the future."

"This is what grandma thinks," the old lady said to her grandson, "After you divorce Liu Yaozhu, grandma will not let you remarry, lest you marry another vicious woman. It will be too late for us to regret it then."

"Grandma is right," Yue Zhen said, "Even if grandma didn't say it, I would still think so. I am really scared by that vicious woman Liu Yaozhu. If I marry another vicious woman, I am afraid I will have to face the pain of losing my son and daughter again."

Having decided from the bottom of his heart to divorce Liu Yaozhu, Yue Zhen had no plans to remarry.

Then Yue Zhen chatted with the old lady for a while and then left. After all, he was really tired.

When Yue Zhen returned to the courtyard where Jiang Chunxi lived, Jiang Chunxi was making clothes for the baby in her belly.

"It's already so late, why haven't you gone to bed yet?" Yue Zhen walked in and saw that Jiang Chunxi hadn't gone to bed yet, so he started nagging again, "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to wait for me all the time? You're pregnant, so you should go to bed early and don't have to wait for me all the time."

Jiang Chunxi put down her needlework, looked at Yue Zhen who sat down opposite her and said with a smile: "I am used to this, am I? Besides, I slept for a whole afternoon when I returned to the general's mansion. I am still in good spirits now, right?"

"Oh, by the way, I have asked someone to prepare a midnight snack. The general must be hungry by now. I will have someone bring it in right away."

"No, I've already eaten in the palace," Yue Zhen said, "By the way, the emperor has conferred you the title of fifth-rank consort, and the imperial edict will be sent to the general's residence tomorrow."

"What?" Jiang Chunxi was surprised at first, then delighted. "Is this... is this true? How could I be so worthy of being named a fifth-rank concubine by His Majesty?"

"With your hard work at the border over the past few years, coupled with your innovative suturing technique, you have saved many soldiers from dying because their wounds could not heal. This is a great achievement. The emperor has conferred you the title of Fifth Rank Concubine. This is what you deserve. You don't have to belittle yourself."

"I...I..." Jiang Chunxi burst into tears of joy, "I really didn't expect that I would be given the title of a royal lady one day. This makes me excited, but I can't believe it. I can't believe that I can have such a great blessing."
