Chapter 3 Let you get what you want

Chapter 3 Let you get what you want

Zheng Chengyan has been well-read since childhood, has great talent and prefers elegant and refined women.

But Su Wanyu had an outstanding and beautiful appearance, which made her look vulgar in his mouth.

In addition to his dissatisfaction with her merchant family background, he felt even more disgusted with Su Wanyu.

Day after day, he commented on Su Wanyu's appearance.

The once pampered daughter became inferior and sensitive, and could only obey Zheng Chengyan's wishes, wearing plain white clothes, putting on boring jade hairpins, and living like a Taoist nun all day long.

Looking back, Zheng Chengyan might have done it on purpose...

He understood that if he wanted to completely destroy a person, he had to first destroy that person's will.

Su Wanyu replaced all the plain clothes in the house with her favorite dresses, and took out the expensive jewelry that she hadn't worn for a long time.

After getting dressed, Su Wanyu took the pink dress that Yun Yi found and the documents for taking a concubine, and boarded the carriage to the Jiang family.

The Jiang family came from a humble background and were able to gain a foothold in the capital thanks to the Guo family's connections. They owned a small house in the south of the city.

The carriage that Su Wanyu was riding in moved forward and was about to arrive at the gate of Jiang Mansion.

The servant in front of the mansion saw from afar that it was the carriage of the Marquis of Changping's mansion, and hurried into the mansion to report.

"Master, Madam, someone is visiting the Marquis of Changping's residence."

Jiang Yingying, who was dressing up, heard the call and happily dropped the wooden comb in her hand. She stepped out of the room lightly, her lotus steps filling the air with fragrance.

Madam Jiang came over with a smile on her face: "Ying'er, there are guests coming to the Marquis Changping's mansion."

Jiang Yingying was wearing a simple white dress with only a jade hairpin in her hair. Her small face was as delicate as the size of a palm and she had a cherry-like mouth. Even in this inconspicuous small family, she looked fresh and refined.

She clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand and looked toward the front of the yard: "It must be A-Yan who came to propose marriage. He said that he would marry me as soon as possible."

Mrs. Jiang's eyes were slightly red, and she held her daughter's hand tightly: "Ying'er, we have been planning for many years, and now we have finally got what we wanted."

For the daughter of a seventh-rank official to marry into the Marquis of Changping's mansion was something that others wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Three years ago, Jiang Yingying had a secret affair with Zheng Chengyan on his wedding night, just to wait for this moment.

Although Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zheng Guo were from the same clan, Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to marry into the Jiang family as a second wife because her father's family fell into poverty.

The Jiang family has an eldest son who is the legitimate wife. If she wants to make a name for herself as a second wife, she can only rely on this only daughter who has outstanding looks.

Three years ago, Madam Jiang wanted to marry her daughter to the eldest princess's son. She spent a lot of money on arrangements and finally arranged an encounter between Jiang Yingying and the Regent.

Who would have thought that the Regent seemed to have no interest in women. Not only did he ignore Jiang Yingying, he also scolded her angrily, making Mrs. Jiang so angry that she slammed the table and stomped her feet at home.

Madam Jiang was helpless. The regent was so powerful and of such noble status that ordinary people didn't dare to look up when they saw him, let alone the Jiang family, which was a small family.

When Jiang Yingying met the King Regent that time, she trembled all over and almost fainted. She never dared to approach him a second time, and the matter ended there.

It was at that banquet that Jiang Yingying met Zheng Chengyan, the second son of the Marquis of Changping.

When Mrs. Jiang found out, she immediately gave her daughter advice, tried to bring them together several times, and even arranged opportunities for them to meet in the wild outside Beijing.

Now that their wish has come true, they are naturally filled with joy.

However, Su Wanyu did not wait at the gate of the Jiang family to be greeted by Lord Jiang and Madam Jiang. Instead, she ordered her followers to beat the gongs and drums and announced loudly: "The second young lady of the Jiang family is pregnant. The second young lady of the Changping Marquis's Mansion, Mrs. Su, has come to welcome Miss Jiang as a concubine!"

The deafening sound of gongs and drums, accompanied by repeated announcements of "pregnancy", attracted many passers-by to watch.

Before this, only the Jiang and Zheng families knew about this matter, but now that Su Wanyu had made such a fuss, everyone in the capital knew about it.

The second daughter of the Jiang family was shameless. She had an affair with the second young master of the Zheng family and became pregnant.

Who wouldn't be curious about such a big scandal?

Soon, more and more people gathered around to watch the fun. They ignored the gazes of people around them and talked in low voices.

"Ms. Jiang is the daughter of an official family, how could she do such a shameful thing!"

"Yes, fortunately, the second young lady of the Zheng family is magnanimous and wants to take her in as a concubine. If it were me, I would never allow it."

"If Miss Jiang doesn't come in today, who would marry such an unruly woman in the future!"

The chatter in the crowd grew louder and louder, and the words became more and more unbearable to the ears.

At this moment, a high-pitched voice sounded: "The second young master of the Marquis of Changping's mansion is indeed a playboy. I'm afraid the Zheng family's family tradition is just like that."

When Su Wanyu heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Zheng Chengyan has been respected in the capital for his talent and fame for many years, but now it is time for him to step down from the altar.

Yun Yi looked at the crowd in front of her and asked worriedly, "Miss, if this goes on, will the old lady blame us?"

"Don't worry. The silver shop is firmly in my hands now. They dare not do anything to me." Su Wanyu stared at the gate of Jiang Mansion with calm and firm eyes.

Lord Jiang in the mansion was furious when he heard the noise outside the door, and his face was full of resentment towards his family. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and invite Su Wanyu into the mansion.

"Lord Jiang." Su Wanyu bowed.

Lord Jiang's face was as dark as water, and he was filled with anger: "Didn't the Marquis of Changping already agree to marry my daughter Yingying as his equal wife? Why did they go back on their word and publicize it?"

With Yun Yi's help, Su Wanyu sat down and said slowly, "Master Jiang, I am here to convey the wish of Old Madam Zheng to take your second daughter as a concubine. If you think it is inappropriate, you can go to Old Madam Zheng to argue in person."

As soon as she finished speaking, she winked at Yun Yi.

Yun Yi then led three maids carrying wooden trays forward.

Lord Jiang stood there in a daze for a moment, his head lowered, his body trembling slightly.

His face turned pale, and he clenched his fists, as if he had the urge to attack. "Ridiculous! How could my daughter become a concubine? The Zheng family is going too far!"

At this time, Jiang Yingying and Mrs. Jiang walked into the hall with smiles on their faces, but when they saw Su Wanyu, their smiles froze immediately.

Su Wanyu gently picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip. "Lord Jiang, we in Changping Marquis's Mansion have always been very particular about rules. We cannot be careless even when taking a concubine. In addition to a document for taking a concubine written by the elders of the Zheng family, there is also a hundred taels of silver as a gift for taking a concubine, and a new dress for the second young lady to wear as a wedding dress."

The so-called gift for taking a concubine is the cost of purchasing a concubine.

Once the Jiang family accepted this, Jiang Yingying would become a concubine bought by the Zheng family and would no longer have any connection with the Jiang family.

Lord Jiang stood up suddenly and glared at the maids in front of him.

"You..." He gritted his teeth, covered his chest, and slammed the chair heavily: "You! Get out of here!"

"Father!" Jiang Yingying hurried forward, "Father, are you okay?"

Lord Jiang endured the pain and pushed Jiang Yingying away: "Look at what you and your daughter have done! The reputation of our Jiang family for several generations has been ruined by you!"
