Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 231 Demoting Wife to Concubine 8

Shen Jingyao shook her head: "I know my aunt is doing this for my own good, so I won't be willful and make things difficult for her."

No matter how much she didn't want that bitch Jiang Chunxi to control the palace power, Shen Jingyao had to accept the reality. After all, letting Jiang Chunxi take charge of the palace was the best choice.

Then a hint of coldness appeared in Shen Jingyao's eyes.

She would not give up just like that. She, Shen Jingyao, was born to be the most noble woman. Even if she could not become the queen and the current situation was extremely bad for her, she would not give up.

Just like what her aunt said, as long as she gave birth to a prince, she would be able to become the empress dowager in the future and still be the most noble woman in the world.

As for that bitch Jiang Chunxi...

Oh! I will spare her life for now, and I will deal with her when the opportunity arises.

On the afternoon of the day when Shen Jingyao was demoted to a concubine, the three princesses' illnesses were all cured.

When the Queen Mother learned that the conditions of the three princesses had improved, she felt even more uneasy.

"You said, is Jingyao really unlucky in bearing the emperor's offspring? If so..." The empress dowager didn't dare to say any more. She was afraid that she would have bad thoughts about her niece. However, once some thoughts came into her mind, it was very difficult to suppress them.

"Empress Dowager," Madam Cui said with embarrassment, "I think we should ask the Shen family to send another girl to the palace. After all, the Shen family has many illegitimate daughters."

"What you mean is..." The Queen Mother frowned. She really couldn't make up her mind. After all, if the Shen family really wanted to send another girl into the palace, Jingyao would suffer a great blow.

"Empress Dowager, I know you care about Concubine Shen, but judging from the current situation, it is still uncertain whether Concubine Shen can conceive a heir to the throne." Aunt Cui considered her words carefully before speaking. "Besides, even if Concubine Shen can conceive a heir to the throne, it would be good to have another girl from the Shen family enter the palace. Whether it is for the sake of consolidating the emperor's favor or for the sake of the heir to the throne, it will only benefit the Shen family."

Nanny Cui was the Empress Dowager's maidservant who came with her as a dowry, and also a servant of the Shen family, so naturally she always considered the Shen family's interests.

Anyway, Nanny Cui felt that it would be more realistic to rely on other girls in the Shen family rather than on Concubine Shen to conceive an heir to the throne.

Yes, Nanny Cui has now determined that Concubine Shen is an unlucky person. Nanny Cui does not dare to draw a conclusion as to whether she will harm the emperor's offspring.

But Nanny Cui was sure that a woman as unlucky as Concubine Shen would never be able to bear a royal heir.

"Hearing what you said, it does make some sense." Although the Queen Mother took Madam Cui's words to heart, she still couldn't make up her mind immediately, "Forget it, let's wait and see! Let's wait for a year or so before we decide. Maybe Jingyao will soon be pregnant with an heir to the throne?"

If Jiang Chunxi heard what the Queen Mother said, she would probably sneer at the Queen Mother's nonsense in her heart.

Yes, Jiang Chunxi had already given the Dog Emperor a sterilizing drug. Since the Dog Emperor didn't want the original owner to give birth to a child, then he should just not give birth in the future.

However, Jiang Chunxi suffered a huge loss when she received this mission. She lost everything she had. But the mission was random and she couldn't choose it. Therefore, she could only blame herself for her bad luck. What else could she do?

"My queen, why do I feel so happy right now?" Chen Xi said happily, "So what if Shen Jingyao stole your position as queen? Now she is still Concubine Shen."

"That's right," Chenxia also said happily, "We finally got rid of our anger. Even though Concubine Shen is the most beloved person in the emperor's heart, when it really came to the time to make a choice, Concubine Shen was still abandoned by the emperor. This shows that Concubine Shen, the most beloved person in the emperor's heart, is not really that important to the emperor."

"Men have always been fickle, especially an emperor," Jiang Chunxi sneered. "The emperor has finally made it to this point and become the ruler of the world. How could he shake the kingdom he has fought so hard for just a woman?"

"By the way, have you received any letters from home?"

A few days ago, Jiang Chunxi wrote a letter and sent it to the Jiang family.

The Jiang family ended up like that in the original owner's previous life. This was certainly due to Shen Jingyao, but the root cause was not because the emperor was jealous of the Jiang family's huge assets.

So Jiang Chunxi asked the Jiang family to hand over two-thirds of their property to the court, and then the entire family left the capital and returned to their hometown.

There is no other way. If you want to save the Jiang family, you must let the Jiang family leave the power center of Beijing and return to their hometown to bide their time.

Although it is a bit frustrating, people have to face the reality. Moreover, enduring the frustration for a while is nothing. Jiang Chunxi believes that as long as she is around, she can let the Jiang family return to the capital.

Only then will the stage be opened for the Chiang family to fight for power and profit.

"Not yet," Chenxi shook her head, "Madam, would you like me to send someone to the Jiang family to pass on a message?"

"Forget it," Jiang Chunxi said helplessly, "Let father and the elders of the family think it over carefully. After all, the Jiang family almost used all their strength to help the emperor ascend the throne, but in the end they only got a title with nobility in name only. This makes father and the elders of the family unwilling enough."

"Now they are asked to hand over two-thirds of their property and return home in disgrace. How can they accept this? It is too difficult for them to make up their minds in a short period of time."

"My queen, there is nothing we can do about it. You are doing this for the good of the Jiang family," Chenxia said. "Besides, as long as Qingshan is here, and you are here, the Jiang family will not be afraid of not being able to return to the capital. I think the master should understand your painstaking efforts."

At the same time, at the Jiang Mansion.

In Mr. Jiang’s study, some important family members of the Jiang family gathered here.

"Dad, now that the Emperor has deposed the Queen, is it possible that my sister will be crowned as the Queen? And our Jiang family won't have to leave the capital?" This was the voice of Young Master Jiang, the eldest son of the Jiang family.

"Oh!" Master Jiang sneered, "What are you dreaming about? The emperor didn't even make your sister the queen, and demoted your sister to a concubine. Even if Shen Jingyao's position as queen is abolished, it is impossible for him to make your sister the queen."

"This is too much," said an elder of the Jiang family. "If it weren't for the fact that our Jiang family has devoted all its efforts to supply the emperor with food, medicine, and the huge expenses required for weapons, would the emperor have been able to take over the world so easily?"

"You know, it wasn't just the Zhennan Marquisate that tried to win over our Jiang family."

"Okay, what's the point of talking about this now?" Mr. Jiang said, "Let's talk about the Imperial Concubine's proposal. It's more important to make a decision as soon as possible."
