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

This identity is not bad! We are of similar age and my surname does not need to be changed. Isn't this given to me for free? That's great, but where is Qing County? Okay, from now on, I will travel the world.

Su Wanyu started to deal with Su Qing's funeral early the next morning. She was just a concubine, so it was easy to deal with her. Besides, she was the concubine's family. But she still had to do some face-saving work.

After two days of dealing with the situation, Su Wanyu wrote a letter to Jiang Weiyang. In the letter, she mentioned many times that she felt sorry for Su Qing because she had not recovered from the cold and just wanted her to rest more. She did not expect that this would cost her sister her life.

Su Wanyu handed the letter to the servant and asked him to deliver it to the Marquis as quickly as possible.

It was several days later when Jiang Weiyang received Su Wanyu's letter.

Rufeng walked in anxiously from outside the tent, "Master, there's a letter from the lady."

"Oh? I just settled down and haven't had time to write her a letter yet. It's a good opportunity to write her a reply. Here you go!"

Jiang Weiyang took the letter, opened it, and his face changed instantly.

Rufeng saw Jiang Weiyang's expression change and asked quickly, "Master, what happened in the mansion?"

Jiang Weiyang closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened them. At this time, Jiang Weiyang's eyes were red. He said with a slightly choked voice, "Auntie Su is gone."

After saying that, he closed his eyes again. It would be a lie to say that he was not heartbroken. He had wanted to marry her since the first time he saw her seven years ago, but there was no way. His father and mother could not accept the difference in their status, so he simply married her elder sister, on the condition that she must also come into the mansion as a concubine.

Under pressure from his parents, he had to let Su Wanyu give birth to a legitimate son before going to find her, thinking that as long as Su Wanyu gave birth to a legitimate son, they could treat each other with respect.

The person he wanted to treat with respect was Su Qing. But this woman wanted to escape.

Yes, this woman wants to escape.

"Rufeng, ask the secret guards around the Marquis' Mansion to come over."

"Master, what do you want to do? Just tell me to do it."

“I suspect Su Qing escaped and is not dead at all.”

"What does the master mean? Aunt Su is dead?"

"Dead? I don't believe it. I believe she escaped."

"Master, with so many people watching, it's unlikely for a weak woman like me to escape, right? Not to mention there are secret guards around us."

"What can the secret guards do? It doesn't involve the Marquis's mansion, nor does it involve the life of the Madam. They won't keep an eye on a concubine. Right?"

"What does the master mean?"

"Call Ruxue and Rumei."

"Yes." Rufeng went out and called Ruxue and Rumei.

"For your humble position, please see the Marquis."

"I want to ask you, before you left the side courtyard of the Marquis's Mansion, how was Aunt Su's condition?"

"My Lord, the doctor came to see me and said that I caught a cold and my fever won't go away."

"Have you taken any medicine?"

"Mrs. Su sleeps all day long. We have only seen her once. She is in a very bad state."

"What was she doing when you saw her?"

"My aunt went to find my wife and talked with her in the house for a long time without letting anyone get close to her. After that, my aunt never left the house, and then we came with the Marquis."

"She went to see the lady and talked for a long time. Did she chase you all out? She has been resting since she returned? Is she that seriously ill?"

"We didn't dare to ask any more questions."

"Madam wrote to me saying that Aunt Su was burned to death in her room. Do you believe it?"

"This..." Ruxue looked at Rumei, and Rumei looked at Ruxue. No one said anything. They didn't believe it or not.
