Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Chapter 180.1

Consort Jin was wearing a green dress, making her look indescribably elegant and fashionable.

If it weren’t for her appearance staying the same, no one would dare to associate her with Consort Jin at first glance. Consort Jin had always given people the impression of being weak and delicate as she wore heavy and complicated clothes. However, at this moment she was too different from before.contemporary romance

After she came in, she bowed down gracefully. Duchess Xuguo next to her had an unbelievably complicated face. After Emperor Hongjing called for her to rise, Consort Jin stood up, and then looked at Duchess Xuguo.

“Mother, you’re really muddleheaded.”

“Yan’er…”

Consort Jin didn’t look at her anymore, but said to Emperor Hongjing and Empress Wei respectfully, “Since this matter is related to this daughter-in-law, please give this daughter-in-law a chance to explain a bit. “

“Speak.”

“The past should stay in the past. There was already a judgment on what had happened. If it was wrong, it was wrong. This daughter-in-law already knows her mistake. This daughter-in-law spends my time in the countryside. After learning some Buddhism, this daughter-in-law now spends her time chanting scriptures and worshiping the Buddha to atone for her sins. From the perspective of this daughter-in-law, such a life is more suitable for me, but it is inevitable for parents to think too much. This daughter-in-law’s mother only has me as a daughter and desperately wishes to take all my burdens onto herself. Unfortunately, one can’t know the joys of a fish unless one was a fish. From the perspective of this daughter-in-law’s mother, the daughter-in-law is imprisoned with the return date uncertain. Naturally, she doesn’t know that this daughter-in-law is happy and satisfied.

“This daughter-in-law has said so much, but this daughter-in-law just wants to say one thing, take pity on the hearts of parents in this world. This daughter-in-law’s mother made a big mistake because of her foolishness. Thousands of mistakes were made because of this daughter-in-law. Father Emperor and Mother Empress, please don’t let her bear all the sins.”

Duchess Xuguo was completely dumbfounded. She never thought that her daughter would say such words.

She was a weak-hearted person. She was already made speechless by Yaoniang earlier, and she was already at the end of her battle. No matter how stupid Duchess Xuguo was, she knew that the current situation was not good for her. But there was no turning back after stringing the bow, so she could only grit her teeth and hold on. However, she never expected that it would be her own daughter trying to tear down her platform.

“Are you crazy? Have you gone insane? Tell me, is someone forcing you? Is it Jin Wang? Did he force you to come forward to spout such lies because of that woman surnamed Su? “

Consort Jin shook her head. “No one threatened me. I am doing very well and I have not gone insane.”

“If you weren’t crazy, why would you say such a thing? It was the two of them who mistreated you for their own reasons, forcing you, a dignified and proper consort, to go to the countryside to recuperate. Yet, now you are speaking for them. If you aren’t insane, then what are you? Or are you afraid of something? Don’t be afraid, your mother is willing to risk her old life to seek justice for you today!”

Duchess Xuguo seemed to have gone crazy as she rambled on nonstop. She even reached out to pull Consort Jin behind her as if to protect her.

Consort Jin’s originally calm face suddenly became sad, and crystal tears rolled down.

“Mother, there is no such thing as unfairness or injustice. If we were to really pursue the matter of justice, I would be the one held responsible. And there is one thing I have not told you. I don’t like men. His Highness and I have always been a couple in name only.”

Duchess Xuguo’s incessant chatter came to an abrupt end. The hall turned silent in an instant.

Everyone looked at Consort Jin with shock in their eyes, completely dumbfounded.

“Yan’er, what did you say?”

Consort Jin straightened her back, her teary eyes filled with calmness. “I said, I don’t like men. I have been married to His Highness for so many years, but it was only in name. In fact, I was the one who personally found and arranged for Side Consort Su to serve His Highness. I did this to cover up for myself. So, mother, you don’t need to feel sorry for your daughter. You don’t need to feel unresigned, or even resentful. What you think is good, may not be good for me.”

Duchess Xuguo seemed stunned all of a sudden, and she couldn’t return to her senses. “How could this be? How could this be? Then why did you want her child in the first place and even committed such a sin? Yan’er, you must be lying to your mother, right? Right?”

“Mother, I’m not lying to you. As Consort Jin, I needed a child. I needed a child to cover up this humiliating truth. I needed a child to maintain my position as the consort, so I did such a wrong thing in a moment of confusion.”

Consort Jin’s attitude was too calm. Duchess Xuguo knew her daughter was not lying to herself. She became agitated all of a sudden and started shaking her head. “That’s not what your father said. Your father said that as long as you can prove that the child isn’t Jin Wang’s, the woman surnamed Su will be finished. Then you can come back from the countryside at that time, and remain as the consort. In one or two years, you will definitely give birth to a son. My daughter is better than me, so she won’t fail to have a son…”

Seeing Duchess Xuguo’s reaction, Consort Jin was heartbroken. Tears streamed down her face and she murmured, “He lied to you, he lied to you…”

“He lied to me? He lied to me? Did he lie to me again for that woman? He lied to me, he lied to me…” Seeing Duchess Xuguo like this, it was obvious that she had taken it hard, and was on the verge of losing her mind.

But what she said didn’t go unnoticed by anyone. It turned out that there was someone in the back, instigating Duchess Xuguo. But why did Duke Xuguo do this? Jin Wang was his son-in-law. Why would someone try to trip up his own son-in-law?

However, considering Consort Jin who was sent to the countryside to recuperate, and Side Consort Xu who had been silent this whole time, it was obvious that the two daughters of the Xu Family were not favoured in Jin Wang Manor. Instead, it was Side Consort Su who received all the favour. As for why Duke Xuguo decided to do this, it wasn’t hard to guess.

Maybe it was out of self-interest, or maybe he had the intention to switch his allegiance. The young master of Jin Wang Manor was currently heavily favoured by Emperor Hongjing. If he could prove Xiaobao wasn’t Jin Wang’s son, but that Jin Wang was willing to raise someone else’s son for the sake of a woman, not only would Xiaobao be finished, but Jin Wang would also be finished.

After all this fuss, plotting and enacting everything, was it not for this one purpose?

Such deep scheming, what a vicious method!
