Chapter 501: Greedy Conspiracy Begins
Leng Xian's mouth was still talking... and kept talking...
“At first, Yin refused to comply.
She only wants to marry into the Marquis Qinxing's mansion and become his wife, so how could she agree to let me marry another noble wife!
Later, it was my mother and grandmother who told her about the many benefits that would come from marrying Fu Baozhen.
And the benefits that she and the Yin family can get from it.
Yin then reluctantly agreed.
But her condition was that I could marry her as my principal wife, but I could not break off my relationship with her.
Otherwise, she would expose the secret affairs between me and her, making it impossible for me to marry a noble wife and thus failing to fulfill my wish.
I had no choice but to agree to her request.
The Yin family then shut up and left.
Next, I asked the official matchmaker to go to the Duke of Anguo’s mansion to propose marriage.
The first time he visited, the Anguo Mansion sternly refused.
Later, probably because he learned that I had helped him out of righteousness, he became a little more polite to me.
Later on, it should be…it should be that Baozhen also had feelings for me, and finally, this happy marriage between me and Baozhen was accomplished.”
bah bah bah!
A good marriage!
Ugh!
It's over! It's over!
The ministers shook their heads and sighed again.
Although they already knew the final outcome of the matter, they still couldn't help but feel sorry for Fu Baozhen when they heard it now.
Back then, the Anguo Mansion gave Fu Baozhen a large dowry. It was said to be a ten-mile red dowry, and it really was a ten-mile red dowry!
The Duke wished he could give all the good things to his beloved daughter so that she would live a worry-free life!
When Fu Baozhen married into the Marquis of Qinxing's Mansion, the Mansion immediately got rid of its former depressed and cold situation and ushered in a prosperous life with flowers in full bloom and prosperity.
All the civil and military officials in the palace knew this.
"Baozhen is virtuous and filial."
Leng Xian continued, "After she married into the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion, she never hesitated to spend money on me and my mother.
Therefore, in private, the Yin family also lived a prosperous life.
When I got married, I also felt that I was being so unfaithful to my wife Baozhen, who was devoted to me, by secretly having an affair with a woman named Yin.
So he thought, it would be better to give the Yin family some money and cut off all ties with the Yin family.
But Yin was extremely greedy.
She wanted a rich life and also wanted to live in the Marquis Qinxing's mansion.
Baozhen had been pregnant for a short time, and Yin was also pregnant, so I had to put aside my plan to break up with her for the time being.
Later, Baozhen gave birth to Yueer;
Yin also gave birth to Xing'er.
The two children are about the same age.
Baozhen believes in me, and she never thought that I had an affair outside.
When Yin became pregnant again, she was no longer willing to continue being a concubine who could not be seen in public.
She wants to enter the Qinxing Marquis's mansion;
She wanted to be a co-wife;
She wanted the children she gave birth to to be legitimate children.
But Baozhen's maiden family is the Anguo Mansion.
How dare I...
I can’t say it either.
As a result, Yin threw a tantrum and made a big fuss!
Later, she rushed out of the house and said she was going to run to the gate of the Duke of Anguo's mansion to cry and commit suicide.
I tried to get her back, but it was of no use trying to persuade her or plead with her.
Helplessly, I could only go to Baozhen and kneel down to beg her to show mercy and allow Yin Shi to stay.
After Baozhen learned the truth, she was heartbroken.
She wanted to divorce me immediately.
I hugged her tightly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly...
Finally, even my mother knelt down and begged.
Baozhen was kind and soft-hearted, and finally, she nodded with tears in her eyes.
Just like that, Yin, with Xing'er and her pregnancy, was carried into the Marquis Qinxing's residence in a sedan chair and became my concubine.
When my father-in-law and two uncles learned about this, they broke into my house and beat me up.
In the end, Baozhen softened her heart and stopped her father and two brothers.
My father-in-law and two uncles wanted to take Baozhen and Yue'er away immediately, hoping that Baozhen would divorce me.
I begged Baozhen again and vowed never to let him down again.
Baozhen eventually went against the wishes of her father and brother and stayed in the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion."
Ugh!
This was a chance to survive!
What a pity!
What a pity!
Miss Baozhen did not seize this opportunity to save her life, which resulted in her own death and also caused her daughter to suffer and be bullied, and endure misery for more than eight years!
When the officials heard this, they were all thinking...
Keep listening...
Next, Miss Baozhen’s real disaster is about to come!
Sure enough, Leng Xian continued, “When Yin Shi first entered the mansion, she was quite well behaved and pretended to be filial to her mother-in-law and respectful to her legal wife.
Everything in the mansion is relatively peaceful.
Baozhen was kind and peaceful by nature, and she did not cause any trouble to Yin.
Who knew that Yin's ambition and greed would not be satisfied so easily!
In the first step, she had entered the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion as she wished;
Next, she thought about taking it a step further and becoming the principal wife;
Being the principal wife was not enough, she also set her eyes on Baozhen's huge dowry.
She was determined to take Baozhen's dowry for herself.
The same goes for my mother.
Baozhen is a noble lady;
Baozhen has a huge dowry.
All these satisfied my mother greatly;
It also makes my mother proud.
But at the same time, she felt
Fu Baozhen's noble status and her powerful background seem glorious;
However, it is also an invisible pressure for my mother, who is always domineering and has the final say.
She didn't dare act too much like a mother-in-law in front of Baozhen.
It’s not like the way they treated Yin.
Yin was her niece from her mother's side, and the Yin family was able to survive by relying on charity from the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion.
In front of Yin, she can be proud and act with dignity!
She didn't dare to do that to Fu Baozhen.
Although every day, what they eat, wear, and use...
Everything they enjoyed came from Baozhen's dowry.
However, after enjoying such a prosperous life, they felt unsatisfied.
They felt that Baozhen's identity and background weighed heavily on them, making them uncomfortable.
They felt that the ideal situation would be to have Fu Baozhen but only her dowry.
If Fu Baozhen was gone, her dowry would have become theirs.
No matter how they enjoy themselves, they are enjoying themselves.
This is the day they want.
That way, they no longer have to ask Baozhen for anything.
So, Yin and my mother began to plot in private...
Ugh!
There were sighs in the hall again.
