Chapter 220 Mess
Chapter 220 Mess
Su Wanwan thought clearly that with Xie Ran's current achievements, her son would never be able to catch up with him in his lifetime even if he had wings.
Although Feng Sheng served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which was an important position in the court, he was still not as good as the Yongchang Marquisate and the Qingyun Marquisate.
She and Su Xiuxiu are both daughters of the Su family, but their families took completely different paths.
Her father was determined to become an official, but unfortunately after many years he was only a small county magistrate. Su's father and brother had a good business mind. Although Su was a merchant girl, her food, clothing and other expenses were even more expensive than those of the ladies of dukes and marquises.
Su Wanwan has been strong-willed since she was young, and was unwilling to always be left behind by others, so she designed a plan to snatch the marriage that originally belonged to the Su family. However, she did not expect that the Su family would turn around and climb up a higher branch.
Since I can't compete, I might as well take advantage of a ready-made bargain!
Mrs. Su understood what Su Wanwan meant, and said in surprise: "Bao'er is your biological daughter, how can you bear to let her be your concubine?"
Of course Su Wanwan couldn’t bear to do that!
She pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Actually, can't a man marry a concubine in addition to his wife?"
Seeing Su frowning, Su Wanwan hurriedly said: "Of course, it also depends on what Ran'er and Ajin think."
"I'm not afraid of my sister laughing at me. Bao'er has admired Ran'er since the day she saw her beauty. After being rejected by me and her father, she lost her appetite.
Although I was annoyed and angry with her, she was still my flesh and blood after all, and I couldn't bear to see her get into trouble, so I had no choice but to shamelessly ask my sister for help. "
As Su Wanwan spoke, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, looking completely pitiful.
She knew that Su was a kind-hearted person, and when she was a child, she could make Su behave herself by using this trick of torturing him.
"It would be best if Ran'er and Ajin are willing to accept Bao'er as their co-wife. If they don't want to be a concubine, I have no complaints." Su Wanwan knew that she couldn't push the issue too much.
With the status and position of the Feng family, even if she is a concubine, she is still an honored concubine. Even the mistress Gu Jin cannot punish her casually. When Baoer works harder and gets pregnant before Gu Jin, it will not be difficult for her to ask Su to make Baoer a co-wife!
Su Wanwan waited confidently for Su's nod.
Su looked at her and saw that she didn't agree but didn't object either. She just asked casually, "I heard that a concubine of the Feng family passed away a few days ago?"
Su Wanwan's smile froze, "Why is your sister bringing up such a depressing thing for no reason? We shouldn't talk about this on such a happy day!"
Su continued, "I heard that few of my brother-in-law's concubines and maids have had a good ending in recent years. I wonder if this is just a coincidence or an accident."
Su Wanwan restrained the smile on her face and said in a cold tone, "Sister, just tell me what you mean."
"My sister has read more books than me, and she should know the saying 'don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you'.
We all dislike concubines in the backyard, so why are we all so enthusiastic about adding women to other people's yards?"
"I gave birth to two sons and one daughter for the Feng family. Even if the harem does not accept any new members, the Feng family has continued its bloodline.
Ke Ran'er and his wife have been married for more than a year, and Gu Jin's belly is still not moving. As the mistress of the house, she should have taken a concubine for her husband a long time ago. Why doesn't she care about such a jealous daughter-in-law?" Su Wanwan has indeed dealt with many women in the harem over the years, but she is justified in giving birth to two sons for the Feng family.
Su narrowed her eyes and said lightly: "Even if there is no offspring, the problem is still with Ran'er. My Ah Jin is in good health, but Ran'er was sick when she got married and barely managed to survive.
Having a child is a matter for two people, you can't just blame the woman!"
"You..." Su Wanwan was so angry that she didn't know what to say for a moment, "Your words are not what a mother should say, don't you consider Ran'er's face!"
Su retorted, "You also have a daughter. If your daughter faces this kind of thing in the future, will you be able to make the same excuses as you did today?
Ran'er and Ajin are a couple who have a good relationship. Now that they have established their own new home, they will only live more comfortably. I will not rush to make things difficult for them!
Besides, there are so many women in the capital who admire Ran'er. If they all threaten to commit suicide, wouldn't it be a mess if Ran'er married them all!
I will pretend that I didn't hear anything I said today. I also advise you not to go look for Ran'er and the others, lest you get bumped into by the younger generation and lose face as a sister!"
Su was extremely angry.
Before Ran'er and Ajin could live a peaceful life, they were targeted. What Ajin said was indeed right. Su Wanwan had bad intentions from the beginning. They don't need to see each other again unless necessary!
Su Wanwan was so angry that she wanted to storm out, but she was afraid that the officials' wives at the table would notice something, so she could only suppress her anger.
Gu Jin was completely unaware of this and was chatting and laughing with the women around him with great energy, even closing a few business deals with his words.
After the banquet was over, Gu Jin found Xie Ran, gave him a meaningful look and said, "Come and clean up your mess yourself!"
