Chapter 646: Prince Zhuang's Concubine 6
From this we can see that King Zhuang was overly confident in his ability to control Jiang Chunxi. However, we cannot blame King Zhuang for being so confident. After all, in ancient times when husbands were the most important thing for a woman, she could only rely on her husband after she got married.
Prince Zhuang not only knew that Jiang Chunxi was a concubine's daughter, but he was also certain of this, which was why he was overly confident in his control over Jiang Chunxi.
Nanny Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she was quite worried that the Jiang family would give up on their daughter, the young lady. After knowing Prince Zhuang's dirty thoughts, she simply broke off relations with Prince Zhuang.
If that were the case, the lady would have no chance of survival.
"Madam, I plan to let you go home," Jiang Chunxi said to Madam Zhou, "You have served me wholeheartedly for more than ten years. It is time for you to go home and enjoy your life. I really don't want to keep you by my side any longer and waste your time with me in Prince Zhuang's Mansion. After all, Prince Zhuang's Mansion is not a good place for us master and servant."
"It's fine if I can't leave Prince Zhuang's Mansion, but I don't want Madam to follow me in Prince Zhuang's Mansion..."
"Young lady, you don't have to say anything more," Madam Zhou said quickly, "How can I leave you in your current situation? Anyway, I will never leave you. Anyway, my children have grown up and I don't need to worry about them. I will stay with you forever."
"So Miss, please don't chase me away. If you really let me leave you in your current situation, wouldn't I live in fear every day? How can I enjoy happiness?"
Nanny Zhou naturally wanted to go home, but with the young lady in her current condition, how could she feel at ease leaving?
The young lady was raised by her own breast. In Nanny Zhou's heart, the young lady was no different from her own daughter. It would have been fine if the young lady could have married a good man, but she chose to marry a beast like King Zhuang.
Therefore, Nanny Zhou would not leave no matter what. She would protect the young lady even if it cost her own life.
"Alas!" Jiang Chunxi sighed slightly, "Mammy, why are you doing this? Although you and I are master and servant in name, in my heart, you are no different from my mother. I have already thought about it. After I get married, I will let you go home to enjoy your life."
"Besides, you can't really help me if you stay with me, so you should just listen to me and go home! Your children have been waiting for you to come home."
"Miss, please stop talking," Nanny Zhou said with red eyes and a firm face, "Anyway, I will never leave you no matter what. Unless I die, I will never leave your side. If you really care about me, don't think about driving me away."
Seeing that Nanny Zhou was so persistent, Jiang Chunxi didn't say anything more. However, she had to be careful about these things in the future so as not to let Nanny Zhou suspect anything.
Nanny Zhou raised the original owner as her own daughter and naturally knew her living habits very well. Although Jiang Chunxi had the original owner's memories, she was not the original owner after all. She was afraid that some of her subconscious habits would arouse Nanny Zhou's suspicion.
"Master, Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang are here to pay their respects to you. Would you like to invite them in?" Just then, a maid came in to report.
Yes, King Zhuang already had servants around him.
"Let them in!" Jiang Chunxi said. As for Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang, from the original owner's memory, she knew that they were both well-behaved people.
Especially the concubine Yu, who later became pregnant and was used by King Zhuang to frame the King's wife.
Because Prince Zhuang was out of favor, the princess the emperor appointed for him was only the daughter of a fourth-rank official, whose family background was the lowest among all the princes' wives.
Prince Zhuang hated his wife very much and regarded her as a humiliation. Therefore, when Concubine Yu became pregnant, he aborted the child and framed the wife of Prince Zhuang. He also ran to the Emperor to cry and complain, which made the Emperor feel a little guilty about his son and guilty for arranging a marriage for his son with such a vicious princess.
"Your concubine pays respect to Concubine Jiang." As Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang came in, they respectfully bowed to King Zhuang.
"My two sisters, please get up quickly," Jiang Chunxi said with a gentle smile, "Someone, come! Serve tea to Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang."
Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang both breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Concubine Jiang was not a difficult person to get along with and would not make things difficult for them, the two lowly concubines.
Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang were both born as palace maids. They were assigned to Prince Zhuang by the Empress Dowager to teach him personnel affairs in the palace before he was given a palace. Later, as Prince Zhuang was given a palace, they left the palace with him and became concubines in his backyard.
"This is this year's new tea, Longjing before the Rain," Concubine Yu said with bright eyes after taking a sip of tea, "I didn't expect Concubine Jiang would use such good tea to treat me and Sister Jiang. I am really flattered!"
Concubine Yu is half a year older than Concubine Jiang, so I call Concubine Jiang "Sister" in a polite manner.
"My concubine has a very sensitive tongue. She can even tell that this is the new Rain Dragon Well that was just released this year." Jiang Chunxi said with a smile:
"Such a good tea can be tasted even by the dullest tongue," Concubine Jiang said with a smile, "From now on, I and Sister Yu will entrust Concubine Jiang to take care of you. If Concubine Jiang needs anything from us, please let us know. As long as Sister Yu and I can do it, we will never let Concubine Jiang down."
Concubine Jiang's words were tantamount to her surrender to Concubine Jiang, and this was something she had discussed with Concubine Yu.
There was nothing that could be done about it because they were not favored by the prince. Even though there were only two concubines in the prince's backyard, it was good enough for him to favor them once a month.
The servants in Prince Zhuang's Mansion are of the same character as the servants in the Imperial Palace. They all flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Seeing that they are out of favor, no one takes them seriously. Therefore, Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang have a really hard time in Prince Zhuang's Mansion.
I have to say this here. Prince Zhuang did not consummate his marriage with Jiang Chunxi on his wedding night. In addition, he did not enter Jiang Chunxi's yard in the past few days. Don't Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang know about this?
Of course they knew it, but Jiang Chunxi was a concubine after all. Although she was born a concubine, her family background was still there. The servants in the mansion did not dare to neglect her. The most important thing was that Prince Zhuang was accompanying Concubine Jiang back home today.
This is enough to show that although Prince Zhuang did not like Concubine Jiang, he attached great importance to her family background. Based on this point alone, we can know that Concubine Jiang would not be despised by the servants in Prince Zhuang's mansion just because she fell out of favor.
Of course, the most important thing is that they currently have no better choice than to rely on Concubine Jiang.
Jiang Chunxi smiled and said, "Sister Jiang, what you said is too serious. We can serve the prince together. It is our fate. In the future, we sisters should get along well with each other. Don't talk about whether I care about you or not."
Jiang Chunxi's call of "sister" meant that she accepted the surrender of Concubine Jiang and Concubine Yu. In the original owner's previous life, the original owner did not accept their surrender. After all, the original owner's whole brain was hit hard by King Zhuang's words, so how could she accept the surrender of two concubines.
