The concubine's favorite? Break off the engagement and marry another prince, please respect you

Chapter 1

It was lonely in late autumn. The leaves of the sycamore trees in the courtyard turned yellow and fell. Shaoguang Courtyard was as deserted as usual, incompatible with the lively sounds coming from the front yard from time to time, as if they were two different worlds.

The two maids who were sweeping the floor stopped what they were doing and listened carefully. One of them curled her lips and said, "The banquet in the front yard has been going on for three days. I heard that His Majesty gave a generous gift yesterday. He praised a bastard so highly. How can he put our Madam in such a high position?"

"Shut up!" Hearing this, the other one glared at his companion and whispered, "Don't talk about the affairs of the outer courtyard. If Sister Erqing hears, you will be punished with a stick."

But he also sighed in his heart, the Crown Prince's wife was a person as beautiful as jade. She was also a noble lady famous in the capital. How could she be suppressed like this by such a despicable concubine who was born outside the family?

Xie Wan Ning stood in front of the window, wearing only a plain dress, listening quietly to the conversation of the maids with a calm expression.

Until Er Qing brought the doctor in, and saw this situation, his face changed: "Young Madam is not feeling well, how can you blow the wind? Go to the couch and rest quickly."

Xie Wan Ning turned around and smiled slightly, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't been out for a long time."

It seemed that she had finally grown tired of the marquis's mansion that she had once dreamed of marrying into.

Er Qing's nose felt sore. She helped her sit on the couch and called the doctor who was invited from outside. She said politely, "Doctor Wei, please take a look at my young mistress. She has had a cold for more than two months. Why is she still not getting better?"

After autumn began, Xie Wan Ning fell ill after returning from a visit to the Grand Madam's courtyard. The court doctor said that he had caught a cold. He took medicine on time, but his usually healthy body did not get better.

Not wanting to worry her personal maid, Xie Wan Ning stretched out her hand and obediently asked the doctor to take her pulse.

When Liu Manrou came in, she happened to hear the old doctor's last words: "Depression enters the internal organs, and the spirit is damaged and the life is short..."

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she walked through the door holding the child, saying with a smile: "Are you depressed? My husband has only visited me a few times, why is it that serious? I will talk to my husband tonight and ask him to come and accompany me more often these days. What do you think?"

"Who let them in!" Er Qing's hands were shaking when she heard that her master's life span had been shortened, and she saw the culprit entering the house. She said angrily, "They all took advantage of the young lady's kindness and took advantage of her. The young lady could tolerate this, but I can't!"

"Slap your mouth!" Liu Manrou's smile suddenly disappeared, and her expression turned stern: "Sister is not in good health, and even the maids have no time to discipline you, so I will do it for you."

She had always been favored and was always accompanied by many servants when she traveled. As soon as she finished speaking, two strong women came up.

Xie Wan Ning stood in front of Er Qing, her expression cold: "Madam Liu is not in the front yard to accept the guests' congratulations. She came here uninvited. Can't others say anything?"

Liu Manrou glanced at her with a contemptuous look, no longer pretending to be polite. She raised her hand slightly, and someone immediately pulled Xie Wan Ning away and slapped Er Qing a few times.

Several maids in Shaoguang Courtyard were restrained, and no one was able to step forward to stop it.

"Stop it." Xie Wan Ning's pale face turned a sickly red due to anger. She rushed over and pushed them away, but she had been ill for a long time and had no strength to stop these strong women. Instead, she was pushed to the ground.

"Girl!" The suppressed Er Qing saw her master being pushed down, shouted angrily, and broke free from the grip of several maids, and rushed straight towards Liu Manrou who was holding the child.

If you push my master, I will push your master too. I am acting with complete indignation and grief, determined to fight to the death.

In the chaos, Xie Wan Ning saw Liu Manrou lose her balance and fall to the ground. The one-year-old eldest son of Lu Ziyan, who was in her arms, happened to hit his head on the hard bluestone bricks, causing a bleeding head.

Amid the exclamations, she saw Lu Ziyan rushing over with a livid face, picking up the eldest son covered in blood, and coaxing the tearful Liu Manrou, his angry eyes looking past her and at Erqing. She saw his expression was cold, his mouth opening and closing, and he ordered his attendants, "Drag this cunning slave away and beat him to death."

"No!" Xie Wan Ning anxiously stopped him: "It was Madam Liu's subordinates who offended me. Er Qing was loyal to her master, so what's wrong with that!"

She wanted to reason, but no one listened to her.

Lu Ziyan lowered his eyes and looked at the woman sitting on the cold ground, frowning and said, "Xie Wan Ning, when did you become such a wicked woman? I told you that even if Rou Niang gave birth to the eldest son of the Lu family, it would not affect your status as my legal wife. You don't have to regard her as a thorn in your side."

Liu Manrou cried, "Sister is your principal wife who was welcomed into the mansion in a sedan chair carried by eight men. I know I am inferior to her. Normally, the maids around her don't treat me well, but I tolerate it. But she laid a hand on Pei Ge'er today. If you don't give me an explanation, there will be no place for my mother and me in this mansion."

She was born with a tender and charming temperament, and when she cried, she looked even more like a pear blossom in the rain. Lu Ziyan only took one look at her, and then he hardened his heart and said coldly again: "What are you all standing there for? Drag her away and beat her to death."

Xie Wan Ning screamed and tried to move forward, but was pulled aside by the maid who covered her mouth to stop her. She could only watch as Er Qing was dragged to the bench in the courtyard by the servants, her dress was undressed, her pants were stripped off, and she was caned.

She watched Er Qing spit out blood and shook her head at her, watched Er Qing's buttocks be torn apart, and watched Er Qing slowly die.

When everything stopped and the maid released her hand that was covering Xie Wan Ning's mouth, everyone discovered that she had vomited blood at some point.

Without even turning his head, Lu Ziyan ordered the servants: "For her service to the Madam, prepare a thin coffin and bury her."

Xie Wan Ning's eardrums were buzzing, and she could not hear any sound. She threw herself on Er Qing, not allowing anyone to drag her away. With tears streaming down her face, she pulled up her pants and fastened her dress, and stroked her swollen face. An unprecedented feeling of regret surged in her heart.

She finally realized how wrong she was.

"I regret it, I really regret it, Erqing! Erqing, wake up, I'll take you home, okay?"

Lu Ziyan, who had been facing away from her, turned around suddenly upon hearing the words. His eyes fell on her bloody face, he put down the young son in his hands, and walked over quickly.

Xie Wan Ning held the lifeless Er Qing in her arms and wanted to call for a doctor to save her, but her throat seemed to be blocked by cotton wool and she could no longer make a sound.

It was all her fault. She was the one who refused to listen to advice and was stubborn and insisted on marrying Lu Ziyan. Not only did she get stuck in the mud and ruin her life, but she also made Er Qing suffer with her!
She once vowed that she would never regret it, but now she regretted it in less than two years.

It's all her fault, why let Er Qing die!

She killed Er Qing!

In a trance, Xie Wan Ning saw a sarcastic smile on the corner of Liu Manrou's lips. She was filled with remorse, and her internal organs seemed to be squeezed into a ball. Blood spurted out of her throat again. Before she lost consciousness, she only saw a figure coming in front of her as fast as lightning.
