Chapter 1183 The Sickly Child Who Was Schemed Against 7
“Mother,” Jiang Chunxi then looked at Princess Cheng, “it is unknown how long I can live with this useless body. I will not even be able to have a wedding night, let alone continue the lineage for the Crown Prince.”
“I think these two maids in your room are good at bearing children, so I would like to ask you to let me take them back to serve the young master…”
“I won’t allow it,” Song Zhende said, his expression becoming agitated. “Chunxi, how can you push me to another woman? Didn’t I say that I will only love you in this life, and naturally I will only be willing to stay with you? I don’t need any concubines. I just want to be with you for life.”
Princess Cheng frowned in displeasure, though her displeasure was directed at her son.
Absurd! It's perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. What's this talk of "one man for life"? Is the son trying to drive his mother to her death?
Jiang Chunxi stared at Song Zhende with wide eyes in horror: "Husband, how could you have such an absurd idea? Are you trying to ruin my reputation?"
"No, you're clearly trying to ruin the reputation of the women of the Jiang family," tears fell from Jiang Chunxi's eyes. "Song Zhende, how cruel you are! You keep saying you love me, but your so-called love is just forcing my sickly body to manage the household affairs and ruining the reputation of the women of the Jiang family."
"Waaah! This isn't love, it's more like hate! I'm going back to my parents' home, I want a divorce! You, Song Zhende, are just too horrible! I would never want to be husband and wife with such a terrible man."
"Princess Consort, I will go back to the Jiang family right away and ask Master and Madam to come to the Prince's Mansion to make decisions for you." As soon as Caiyu finished speaking, she hurriedly ran outside.
"Stop her quickly!" Princess Cheng said hastily.
"What is Mother Consort trying to do? Do you mean to imprison me?" Jiang Chunxi tearfully accused Princess Cheng. "Waaah! Your Prince Cheng's mansion is so terrible. I just married into the Prince Cheng's mansion, but you want to imprison me."
"I...I didn't," Princess Cheng was both angry and furious, her forehead throbbing with pain. Of course, she dared not send anyone to stop Caiyu. "Chunxi! How could you have such thoughts?"
“The reason your mother won’t let your maid go back to the Jiang family is simply because she doesn’t want our in-laws to laugh at us, and she doesn’t want them to misunderstand anything,” Princess Cheng then glared at her son. “It’s all because of you, you good-for-nothing! If you hadn’t said something about being a lifelong couple, would Chunxi have been so frightened?”
Song Zhende looked completely helpless, his eyes revealing an expression of utter grievance: "Mother, I only wish to be with Chunxi for the rest of my life. Is that wrong?"
How could this be? Shouldn't Jiang Chunxi have been very moved when he said he wanted to be with one person for life? Why is she reacting like this?
“You still dare to talk, you still dare to talk,” Jiang Chunxi said, her emotions becoming increasingly agitated. “You think that by promising me a lifetime of monogamy, I will be moved and you will earn a reputation as an exceptionally devoted and loving man?”
"But don't you think about it? You've gained a good reputation, but what about me? People might say that you, Song Zhende, are really affectionate, but who knows what they'll say behind my back that I'm jealous?"
“If a woman is associated with jealousy, it will affect the reputation of all the women in the family.”
"Waaah! This isn't affection at all; it's an invisible knife, meant to slowly destroy my reputation and that of all the women in the Jiang family, so that you can live up to your reputation for deep affection."
“Chunxi is right,” Princess Cheng said, looking at her son and scolding him. “Even ordinary people with a little money will buy a concubine to serve them, let alone high-ranking officials and nobles. You want to be with Chunxi for life, but you are clearly putting Chunxi in a dangerous position.”
“Chunxi,” Princess Cheng quickly looked at Jiang Chunxi and spoke up for her son, “Zhende is just too loving. Consider his sincere love for you, don’t hold it against him. Besides, how many men in this world can promise their wives a lifetime of monogamy?”
"Zhende made such a promise to you, which is enough to prove how deep his love for you is. I don't believe you are not moved at all. Even if you are not moved, how can you bear to blame him for his deep affection for you?"
What kind of mess is this?!
Princess Cheng glared at her son, wishing she could smack him on the forehead to clear his head.
What nonsense about "one love for life"! If what my son just said got out, he'd be a laughingstock.
Although Princess Cheng disliked Jiang Chunxi, who was sickly, she approved of her son's absurd idea of being monogamous.
This isn't affection! It's clearly a troublemaker. This world has always been harsh on women. If a woman is known for being jealous, it will affect the reputation of all the women in her family. No wonder Jiang Chunxi reacted so strongly. Anyone would be upset in her shoes!
“Mother, I am not moved,” Jiang Chunxi said, sniffling and her voice choked. “I am only afraid. At this moment, my heart is like a thousand horses galloping, and I am very panicked.”
“Husband,” Jiang Chunxi said, looking directly at Song Zhende, “do you really love me? If you really love me, why would you ruin my reputation like this?”
"From the very beginning, with each and every incident, I feel like you've been digging traps for me."
“Chunxi, of course I truly love you,” Song Zhende hurriedly grabbed Jiang Chunxi’s hand. “If I didn’t love you, why would I want to be with you for life? It’s precisely because I love you so much that I can’t tolerate the existence of a concubine between us.”
“Stop talking,” Jiang Chunxi said, pulling her hand away from Song Zhende’s. “The more you say that, the more frightened I become.”
"Princess Consort, the Prince just loves you too much. How can you misunderstand him like this? Aren't you afraid that misunderstanding him like this will affect your relationship with him?" Liu Meier couldn't help but defend Song Zhende.
At the same time, I was also extremely angry.
How did it turn out like this?
According to her and Song Zhende's calculations, Jiang Chunxi should be deeply moved by Song Zhende's affectionate words and be foolishly led by the nose by them. So why is this bitch Jiang Chunxi reacting like this?
"Clap!"
Cai Tang slapped Liu Meier's face twice hard: "Does a lowly servant like you have the right to interrupt when the mistress is speaking? Just now, because of what the young master said, the young master's wife held back from punishing you immediately, but you lowly servant, taking advantage of the young master's wife's kindness, have become even more out of line and dare to knowingly violate the rules again."
