Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

The front yard was full of guests and the whole house was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

But this Qingyuan is the most remote courtyard in the mansion. Few people go there and it is very deserted.

In her previous life, it was here that her elder brother discovered her and Yan Lin's affair, and was murdered to silence him, with his body thrown into a mass grave.

Now, the first thing she would do after her rebirth is to save her elder brother, Jiang Qingbai, who died tragically that year.

"Adulterer and adulteress... you actually did such a shameful thing in my Shunqing Marquis Mansion..." Jiang Qingbai jumped out from somewhere and kicked the door open.

The shrill shout instantly brought Jiang Qingwu back to his senses.

When she rushed into the house, Jiang Qingbai, Yan Lin and Shen Wanrong were fighting each other.

Shen Wanrong didn't even put on her clothes properly, her collar was wide open, revealing her pink bellyband.

Yan Lin's belt was still on the bed in the distance, and his clothes were disheveled.

"If you're looking for death, don't blame me for being rude..." Yan Lin shouted angrily, grabbing the vase on the table and was about to smash it.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingwu took a step forward and pulled Jiang Qingbai away.

The vase was smashed into pieces, and Yan Lin could instantly see who was coming.

"Qingwu...let me explain..." Yan Lin's face changed drastically, turning pale as paper, and he subconsciously walked towards Jiang Qingwu.

But before he got close, Jiang Qingwu swung his arm and slapped him.

The sound of "pop" was clear and loud.

"Cousin..." Shen Wanrong shouted, and then explained, "Qingwu, you misunderstood, we..."

Caught in bed, and there are still misunderstandings?!

Jiang Qingwu sneered and grabbed Shen Wanrong before she could finish her words. The moment he raised his hand, he paused subconsciously.

Ever since she could remember, they had been best friends. The deep sisterly love they once had turned into an arrow piercing their hearts.

Thinking of the heart-wrenching pain, Jiang Qingwu's hand hesitated in the air for a moment, then he swung it away fiercely.

He ripped open her half-open collar and pushed her out of the house.

Shen Wanrong staggered and fell heavily in the yard, covering her thin silk shirt with her hands and sobbing softly, looking very pitiful.

"Qingwu, don't be like this. I have always regarded you as a good sister..."

Jiang Qingbai, who was standing by, seemed to soften his heart. He turned around and took Shen Wanrong's clothes.

But the next moment, Jiang Qingwu pulled him over.

"Brother, there are plenty of fish in the sea. We in the Jiang family...are not the ones that collect junk."

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu threw the clothes into the air towards the gate of the courtyard.

Coincidentally, it was thrown at the feet of Concubine Shen who came in.

“How dare you…” The imperial concubine’s confidant shouted loudly, and then Jiang Qingwu and the others realized that everything that should and shouldn’t have happened had happened.

Seeing Shen Wanrong and the Third Prince in dishevel, the guests instantly became alert and came over one after another.

[Oh my god, she was caught in bed, how embarrassing, and she is the concubine's niece. ]

[Today is the engagement party for Jiang Qingwu and the Third Prince, and they are actually doing this kind of thing in someone else's home.]

[I heard that she is planning to discuss marriage with the eldest son of the Jiang family. How shameless! ]

The guests in the yard were talking and giggling in groups of three or four as if they were looking at a monkey.

Shen Wanrong didn't expect so many people to come suddenly. She picked up her clothes subconsciously, not knowing whether to cover her face or body with them.

Concubine Shen was so angry that her face turned pale. "Shut up, everyone."

With an angry shout, Concubine Shen's personal guards immediately drew their swords, surrounded the guests, and guarded the courtyard gate.

"…My Lady, please calm down…"

Everyone was in an uproar, even Jiang Qingbai and his parents were panicked, only Jiang Qingwu stood in front of the door with a calm expression.

Want to shut these people up? Dream on!

Concubine Shen looked at Shen Wanrong who was sobbing on the ground and winked at the person next to her.

The maid immediately took the cloak, helped Shen Wanrong up from the ground, and wrapped her tightly.

"Miss Jiang, our Miss Shen is also a daughter of a famous family. Even if she did something disgraceful, it is not your turn to humiliate her like this."

The maidservant relied on the imperial concubine for support, and her words were unreasonable, but she was very powerful.

Jiang Qingwu's face darkened and he was about to speak when his father Jiang Ruhai, who was standing beside him, couldn't wait and spoke first.

"This is our Jiang family. All thieves who enter will be killed. All bandits who enter can leave without permission. If such a thing happens in our Jiang family, my daughter will naturally be able to say it and humiliate it."

"You..." The maid was choked back, and Concubine Shen beside her immediately interrupted, "Shut up."

After saying that, Concubine Shen walked towards Jiang Ruhai and said, "Marquis Shunqing, if this matter gets out, it will not benefit any of us."

"Why not let Wanrong and Qingwu marry the Third Prince and bring them into the palace as his co-wife? Today is a great day, so how about holding an engagement banquet?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but frown and sneered in his heart.

For Yan Lin, it’s a nice idea!

Concubine Shen was the emperor's favorite concubine. Since she had only one daughter, the emperor assigned Yan Lin to her for raising.

But Yan Lin's biological mother was a prostitute in Jiangnan. Despite the blessing of Concubine Shen, he was still despised by everyone and the least favored prince.

Jiang's parents refused to give in and didn't even look happy. Concubine Shen immediately signaled to Yan Lin with her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Yan Lin hurriedly knelt down in front of Jiang's parents.

"It's Yan Lin's fault. I was confused for a moment today. Please forgive me, uncle and aunt..."

The prince knelt before his subjects, and in front of so many people. The Jiang family couple couldn't help but rush to help him, "You are a prince, how can you kneel before us?"

"Please believe me, uncle and aunt. I will definitely treat Qingwu well in the future..."

The Jiang couple were stunned and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Seeing this, Concubine Shen smiled and said, "Okay, okay, we are all family."

The guests watching were also fence-sitters. Seeing that the situation was not going well, they began to flatter and cooperate with the imperial concubine.

"Yes, yes, we are all family. The Third Prince is a royal heir, so it is normal for him to have three wives and four concubines."

"These two girls are close friends, right? It's just right that the sisters can share the same husband."

Concubine Shen listened to the voices around her, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face, "You all think the same as I do."

"In that case, if anyone tells others about what happened today, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Hearing this, everyone echoed, "We will follow the Imperial Concubine's orders."

Just as it seemed that the matter was about to be covered up, Jiang Qingwu, who was hiding behind, suddenly spoke.

"late!"

Everyone was startled and only then did they notice Jiang Qingwu who had been standing in front of the door.

"What do you mean late?" Concubine Shen walked towards Jiang Qingwu and asked in confusion.

Jiang Qingwu heard the voice, bowed down, folded his hands and bowed, "Half an hour ago, I have spread the news."

"I'm afraid everyone in the capital knows about this, so the imperial concubine wants to keep her mouth shut... but it's too late!"

Concubine Shen and everyone else were dumbfounded, looking at Jiang Qingwu and whispering to each other.

"You...what did you say? How dare you do this?" Concubine Shen shouted angrily with her eyes wide open.

Jiang Qingwu was not afraid either. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the imperial concubine, "Not only did your servant dare to act like this, but your servant... also wants justice."

Concubine Shen gritted her teeth and glared at him, "Justice? What justice do you want?"

"Sister Shen and the Third Prince had no matchmaker for their marriage, nor any documents regarding taking a concubine. This means they were committing adultery."

"According to the customs of our Great Yan, you can either be paraded through the streets or... become a monk."

The guests were in an uproar, the imperial concubine was furious, and even the people from the Jiang family were shocked.

If this happened to an ordinary household, they would try to cover it up unless they had a falling out.

Who among the princes and noble ladies would dare to do this?

"Who gave you the courage to humiliate the royal family!" The imperial concubine no longer concealed her anger and shouted with gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, the maidservant beside her stepped forward and raised her hand to hit him.

Jiang Qingwu reacted quickly. He suddenly stood up, grabbed her wrist, and slapped her with his backhand.

"Who are you to dare to touch me!"

With a "bang", the imperial concubine fell directly to the ground, with blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.

"How dare you!" the imperial concubine shouted angrily, walked a few steps in front of Jiang Qingwu and raised her hand.

As the slap was about to fall, a voice suddenly came from the direction of the door, "Stop!"
