Chapter 380 Cannon Fodder Bastard Sister 6
Chapter 380 Cannon Fodder Bastard Sister 6
As soon as the Su sisters returned to the manor, they were summoned by the Grand Tutor. Accompanying them were eunuchs who delivered imperial decrees.
The First Madam felt as if the sky had fallen. Her daughter, a candidate for Crown Princess, had been demoted to a concubine.
The Grand Tutor's expression was also not good, but things had come to this point and there was no room for maneuver.
After inquiring about the situation in the palace, he dismissed the two and told them to go back and prepare for their weddings.
The wedding was to take place a month later.
There was nothing the emperor could do; the matter had become a scandal, and he had no choice but to hasten their marriage.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, the emperor gave the couple a contraceptive potion in the palace, so they wouldn't have to worry about confusion regarding their offspring in the future.
Once back in her own courtyard, Su Wanrou went berserk, smashing things.
"Ah, ah, ah, how could this happen, damn it."
She was really mad.
She was willing to become the Crown Prince's concubine, not only because she liked him, but more importantly, because she might become a Noble Consort in the future.
What good is it to be a general's concubine?
Why? Why should Su Wunian be allowed to become the Crown Prince's concubine? She was unwilling to accept it.
Su Wunian was equally unwilling to accept this.
She originally went along with him with the intention of luring him there so that she could annul her engagement with the Crown Prince.
But now, she doesn't know how things turned out this way.
Marrying the Crown Prince was worse than death for her; he was the man who would take her life.
If I had known, I would have preferred to marry Baili Xuance.
In this marriage of four, none of the people involved are happy.
The Crown Prince felt extremely distressed at the thought that his beloved woman would become Baili Xuance's concubine.
Bai Li Xuance felt distressed when he thought about how his beloved woman was unwilling to marry him even if she became a nun.
The only moment of happiness was probably when he was in his aunt's courtyard, gnawing on the scum of a pig's trotter.
Delicious, delicious, really delicious.
Aunt Wen, meanwhile, kept nagging from the side.
"Mo'er, tell me what happened? How come your elder sister became a concubine after attending a banquet?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, in the end, a concubine is still a concubine. Your second sister is also a concubine. You can't follow their example in the future. You have to be the principal wife."
"Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if we're poor or suffer a bit, at least you're the legal wife, do you hear me?"
Upon hearing this, Qingmo stopped gnawing on the pig's trotter and looked up at her with a quiet gaze.
"Mother, it's okay to be poor and suffer, so why did you marry my father as a concubine???"
Forehead!
Aunt Wen was immediately stumped by the question.
As a concubine, she naturally wanted to live a good life; who would want to live such a poor and miserable life?
But she didn't want her daughter to end up like her; being a concubine always meant being inferior.
Unable to win an argument, she slapped Qingmo on the back of the head.
"You silly child, why are you asking such nonsense? I married your father, of course, because the Grand Tutor is handsome and has an air of purity that comes from being untainted by the mud. I admire him."
Qingmo gave her a look.
Do you believe this? Do you even believe it yourself?
Aunt Wen felt guilty and dared not look at her. Cough cough, it's enough that she knows what's going on, there's no need to expose her.
"Great, hahaha, I never thought I had such charm."
The Grand Tutor immediately lifted the curtain and walked in from outside, and Aunt Wen immediately stood up.
"Master, when did you arrive?"
She has such a sharp tongue; she's said everything she should and shouldn't have. I wonder if the master heard her talking badly about the young lady.
The Grand Tutor burst into laughter, “Naturally, it all started when you said you would marry me because I am handsome and dashing, hahaha.”
Aunt Wen…
Do you really believe it?
Qingmo was speechless; she hadn't expected the old man to be so confident.
The Grand Tutor's arrival at this time was purely coincidental.
He was quite unhappy with the marriages of his two daughters, and he was currently very upset.
He didn't want to go to the First Madam and Aunt Yue's place to listen to their complaints, so this was perfect. He remembered that he had a third daughter, so he came to visit her.
Aunt Wen's words truly touched his heart.
Men, until death, are still boys; they always crave the admiration of others.
Qingmo chatted with him for a few minutes, then took the pig's trotters and left.
We can't afford to delay two elderly people from dating.
Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me sick of it.
Soon, rumors were flying all over the capital, and everyone knew about what happened at the Princess's residence that day.
Hehehe, this is naturally Qingmo's doing, throwing out loads of money and having a bunch of storytellers tell stories.
Of those who heard the news, only the Crown Prince was the most furious.
Because of his high status, he was the one everyone ridiculed the most.
The porcelain in the Eastern Palace was replaced batch after batch, which made life miserable for the palace servants. They didn't dare to utter a sound, for fear of angering the Crown Prince and being dragged out and beheaded.
A month passed quickly.
There was no grand procession of red bridal procession as I had imagined; instead, two small pink sedan chairs were carried out of the Grand Tutor's mansion.
Concubines were not allowed to wear bright red; even their sedan chairs had to be carried in through the side door.
The Grand Tutor has not left the house these days, spending all his time in Consort Wen's courtyard.
There was no other way; it would be too embarrassing to go out like that. He was being laughed at to death.
The wedding night was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but the next day, a piece of news shocked the entire city.
"Have you heard? Have you heard? Last night, the Crown Prince's concubine and General Baili's concubine both fainted. A doctor was called to take their pulses, and it was said that they are pregnant."
Unaware onlookers asked, "Isn't pregnancy a good thing?"
Seeing his confusion, people immediately rushed to answer his questions.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're so ignorant."
"Those people are the main characters in the storyteller's tale from a while ago, hahaha."
"Think about it, she just got married, on her wedding night, and is over a month pregnant. Who knows whose child it is?"
"Haha, maybe the Crown Prince and the General are cheating on each other and raising other people's children."
"Who says it isn't?"
The rumors spread like wildfire, and even an imperial edict couldn't silence the public's discontent.
Qingmo: Hehehe, you're welcome.
The two of them had taken the contraceptive soup, so it was impossible for them to get pregnant.
But since Qingmo was a good person to the end, she spent ten points to become a goddess who grants children, giving one to each person without bias.
As for whose child it is, she really doesn't know.
The emperor knew about this, but he didn't want to get involved in their mess anymore and left it to the crown prince to handle.
He was really at his wit's end, already thinking about which prince to appoint as crown prince after deposing the crown prince.
He has so many sons, and this one is useless. He should just replace him with another one. He's always embarrassing himself. How can he be a good ruler?
How embarrassing! How embarrassing!
"Hey."
Thinking about himself, the emperor felt that he didn't even have as many tricks up his sleeve as the crown prince.
He shook his head, it was hard to tell whether he was sighing or feeling regret.
