The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

Aunt Liu and Su Qing sat down together. After Su Qing felt the patient's pulse, she took out a few packets of medicine from her sleeve.

"Aunt, this is the medicine I prescribed at the Marquis' Mansion. Even though it's just a small packet, it's very effective for your headache. You can mix it with tea and drink it."

"How can I use the things in the mansion? Did you steal them?"

"Aunt, am I so unbearable in your heart? I asked the Marquis to help me open this."

"My aunt has wronged you. It seems that the Marquis treats you well. You must not be arrogant because of his favor. You must do your duty well. Remember not to be jealous."

"My daughter knows, Auntie, don't worry too much."

"Your third brother has reached the age to discuss marriage. I heard from your father that he is seeking to marry the concubine of the Shangshu Mansion. I wonder what the girl is like."

"A concubine's daughter in the Shangshu Mansion?" Su Qing went over it in her mind and seemed to have no impression of this person!

"Yes, it should be a good marriage, but I don't know what the girl is like."

"Isn't my aunt's third brother going to take the imperial examination?"

"Your third brother said that Madam asked him to study with an old gentleman for two years, and your third brother agreed. Although Madam doesn't like me, she still treats your third brother equally."

"Then why are you not so nice to me?"

"Don't gossip about me. Who made you disobedient? If you were half as obedient as your third brother, how could the lady not love you?"

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you. I won't tell you."

"By the way, Auntie, Madam said I can have dinner here before going back. Can you make me something delicious?"

"Okay, I'll make it for you, just wait!"

Su Qing couldn't help but tear up when she saw Aunt Liu's back. Her mother was such a strong person, but she was so submissive in ancient times, afraid of saying a wrong word. She didn't know whether she was dead or alive in modern times.

Aunt Liu prepared the food in a short while. Su Qing was stunned. These were all her favorites. Maybe the original owner liked them too! She picked up the chopsticks and put them in her mouth.

"Slow down, no one is competing with you~"

Su Qing started crying while eating.

She is too busy with work every day and hasn't eaten her mother's cooking for a long time. This meal really tastes like her mother's. It's so delicious.

"What's wrong, Qing'er? Are you not liking the food? Then Auntie can make some more."

"No, it's just that I haven't eaten my aunt's cooking for a long time. It smells so good that it made me cry."

"Then eat more! Qing'er, does the Marquis love you?"

"Yes, the Marquis is very good to me."

"So... do I always go to your place?"

"No, we just consummated our marriage a few days ago."

"What? You've been married to your eldest sister for more than a year, but you haven't consummated the marriage yet? Does the Marquis look down on you? Or is it..."

Su Qing didn't want to make Aunt Liu worry, so she lied, "The Marquis thinks I'm too young and wants me to recuperate."

"Oh, so that's it! I heard that your elder sister has been enjoying sex every day, but she hasn't gotten pregnant yet. But is it the Marquis's problem?"

"Aunt, I'm not sure about this. I can check the pulse of the Marquis when I get back."

"Can you feel the Marquis's pulse?"

"Yes, Auntie forgot that when I was a child, I lived in the manor for a few years. There was a master who taught me. That master taught me a lot! He was good at treating illnesses and prescribing medicines."

"Qing'er, remember not to show off. Otherwise, you will bring disaster to yourself."

"I understand, auntie. Just take care of yourself and don't worry about me."
