Chapter 4 The Fire Pit is Waiting for You to Jump

Jiang Yingying looked at the document for taking a concubine, the one hundred taels of silver, and the dress that seemed to have come from a brothel, feeling both ashamed and angry.

Her face, which was full of joy before, turned ferocious, and she stared at Su Wanyu fiercely: "It's you, you are jealous that the Second Young Master likes me, so you deliberately humiliate me! I'm going to find Zheng Chengyan and ask him to give me justice!"

Su Wanyu lowered her eyes, a sarcastic smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

envy?

Being jealous of a man is undoubtedly the most foolish behavior in the world.

"I came to the Jiang Mansion with such fanfare today. If Zheng Chengyan really wants to marry you, why hasn't he shown up yet?" Su Wanyu said coldly.

She brought people to the Jiang Mansion. Although Zheng Chengyan was anxious to stop her, after being stopped by Old Lady Zheng, he realized the seriousness of the matter and acquiesced to Su Wanyu's actions.

Jiang Yingying gritted her teeth and stared at Su Wanyu. Her pitiful appearance turned into resentment. Her eyes were like two scimitars: "You are talking nonsense. Zheng Chengyan has deep feelings for me. He would never let me endure such an insult."

Su Wanyu took out the document for taking a concubine and said, "Look at the seal of the Marquis of Changping Mansion on it. Do you recognize it?"

Jiang Yingying raised her eyes and saw the three bright red characters "Marquis of Changping". Her face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes, with fear and despair intertwined.

A moment ago, Jiang Yingying was looking forward to becoming the Zheng family's second wife, but now she can only enter as a concubine. In an instant, she fell from the cloud to the bottom of the valley.

Su Wanyu looked at her carefully, thinking secretly in her heart.

Jiang Yingying was already proud and arrogant, and was furious after suffering such humiliation.

He was completely different from the arrogant look he had shown before when he insulted her by taking advantage of her status as his co-wife.

But Jiang Yingying is not someone who gives up easily. She is more ruthless than a poisonous snake.

Su Wanyu continued, "Jiang Yingying, you have ruined your own reputation. Here is the concubine document. If you don't want to be a concubine, burn it and cut off all ties with the Zheng family from now on!"

If Jiang Yingying could really do it, she would look at her differently.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do it.

Jiang Yingying is so eager to climb to a higher position that she will not miss any opportunity to enter the Changping Marquis Mansion.

Madam Jiang held Jiang Yingying's hand and persuaded her, "Child, don't be afraid of her. Even if she becomes a concubine, it doesn't matter. As long as you enter the Marquis of Changping's mansion, if you can give birth to a boy in the future, won't the position of the mistress of the Marquis of Changping's mansion be yours?"

Jiang Yingying frowned, "Mother, why don't you understand? If I can't be a co-wife, being a concubine is also reasonable. Look carefully, the document clearly states that I am a concubine. Even if I give birth to ten boys, I will never be the principal wife!"

Since Old Madam Zheng was determined not to let Jiang become the principal wife, she naturally would not give her the opportunity to become the principal wife.

Above the noble concubine there are concubines and side rooms, but this was deliberately not stated in order to cut off Jiang Yingying's retreat.

Today, Jiang Yingying still has a choice.

Once she entered the Zheng family, she would be a concubine for the rest of her life.

Jiang Yingying and Mrs. Jiang were in a dilemma.

Lord Jiang supported himself on a chair, slowly stood up, pointed at the mother and daughter and sternly scolded them: "I found you a proper marriage in the beginning, but you were not happy about it. Now you are running away to be someone's concubine. It's really shameful!"

When he got excited, he slammed the table and shouted, "From today on, you, Jiang Yingying, are no longer the daughter of the Jiang family! From now on, we are no longer related as father and daughter, and your life and death have nothing to do with the Jiang family anymore!"

Lord Jiang only has one son and one daughter, and he originally wanted to improve the family status by having Jiang Yingying marry into a wealthy family.

Now that Su Wanyu has made such a fuss, everyone knows that the eldest son is still unmarried. If his marriage is affected, the Jiang family will be completely finished.

He would rather sacrifice his daughter to save the Jiang family's reputation.

"Dad!" Jiang Yingying was panicking, "Dad, I'll go and beg Zheng Chengyan, but he won't let me be his concubine, Dad!"

Lord Jiang waved his hand: "Maybe he won't. What about the Zheng family? Will they agree to let you be his concubine? Or his principal wife?!"

Lord Jiang revealed the truth in one sentence.

It’s not so easy to get close to the big guys.

Su Wanyu turned around slowly and said, "Second Miss Jiang, the bridal sedan is outside the door. If you are willing to be my concubine, please follow me to the mansion."

Jiang Yingying looked at her with hatred flaring up her teeth.

Su Wanyu met her gaze and looked at her deeply, waiting for the poisonous snake to fall into the trap.

Come on, the Zheng family’s fire pit is open and waiting for you to jump in!

Su Wanyu sat there, very patiently, and drank five cups of tea in a row in the Jiang Mansion.

After finishing the last cup, Jiang Yingying stood up with a serious expression and knelt down to pay respect to Lord Jiang: "Father, the second son of the Zheng family and I have a deep love for each other. If I can stay by his side, I will be willing to be his concubine."

Master Zhang looked cold and disheartened as he said, "Then, do as you please."

After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves lightly and didn't look at her again.

Jiang Yingying kowtowed heavily, took the letter of acceptance, and accepted it together with the one hundred taels of silver.

The only thing she didn't touch was the dance dress that was specially made for the dancer.

Su Wanyu put down the teacup and asked, "Second Miss Jiang, are you willing to come in?"

Jiang Yingying changed her previous stubbornness, with tears in her eyes, and bowed softly: "The Second Young Madam wants me to be her concubine, how dare I refuse, let alone disobey the Second Young Madam."

Those few words were full of helplessness and accusations.

Su Wanyu slowly stood up and looked at her arrogantly: "Second Miss Jiang, you have to understand that it was not me who made you my concubine, but the old lady of the Zheng family. It was... the Zheng family's idea."

The last two words have a profound meaning.

When Jiang Yingying heard this, a hint of horror flashed in her eyes. She clenched the letter of acceptance in both hands. Her lower lip was bitten by her teeth and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

Su Wanyu saw her like this for the first time and was secretly delighted. She led the maids out of the Jiang Mansion and got on the carriage to return home.

Behind the carriage was a simple blue cloth sedan.

This blue cloth sedan was shabby and light, just like the dance costume, which was specially selected and prepared by Su Wanyu for Jiang Yingying.

Jiang Yingying looked at this humble thing that she had never ridden before. Her face was pale, and with the white clothes on her body, she looked like someone who had just died.

Madam Jiang consoled him, "Child, be patient. The most important thing is the baby in your belly. Don't be afraid of Su. Remember, everyone in the Zheng family wants her to disappear."

"Mom, I'm not afraid of her." Jiang Yingying stared at Su Wanyu's carriage with fierce eyes and said through gritted teeth, "I want to witness her end with my own eyes."

Inside the car, Su Wanyu felt a chill on her back, and she turned her head to lift the curtain and look back.

Jiang Yingying was seen slowly stepping into the blue cloth sedan chair with the support of Mrs. Jiang.

Yun Yi smiled and said, "As expected, Miss Jiang really agreed to be my concubine."

Su Wanyu lowered the curtain and sat back in her original position: "Have you completed the task I asked you to do this morning?"

Yun Yi raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile: "Everything is ready."

Su Wanyu nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction between her brows.

The carriage continued to move forward, but suddenly stopped at the corner.

Yun Yi noticed something was wrong and asked the driver, "Why did you stop?"

The servant replied, "Sister Yunyi, there is a carriage coming up ahead. It seems to belong to the Regent."
