Chapter 26 The Marquis’s Residence

The Marquis’s Residence in the capital was indeed magnificent. The late wife of the Marquis was the late emperor’s favorite, Princess Yuqing. After becoming the emperor’s son-in-law, the military power of the Marquis was supposed to be taken back. However, the late emperor didn’t, which showed how important Princess Yuqing was to him.

Princess Yuqing was born with outstanding beauty and a gentle temperament. After marrying to the Marquis, she was naturally doted on by the Marquis. Unfortunately, in the end, the Marquis still took in a concubine, who was now Madam Fang.

If Princess Yuqing was a natural-born daughter of a rich family, then Madam Fang was just a pretty girl from a humble family. Originally, the Marquis owed the Fang family a favor. Later, when the Fang family was in trouble, they asked the Marquis to marry their daughter.

Madam Fang was humble and not jealous, so the Marquis of Lin’an just pretended she didn’t exist. Probably because the children of noble families all had a few concubines, the Marquis of Lin’an didn’t think there was anything wrong with him having one.

Unfortunately, men and women looked at things differently, especially when it came to concubines. The Marquis of Lin’an felt that it was not a big deal to take in a concubine. A concubine was just a plaything. The person in his heart was still Princess Yuqing, but Princess Yuqing didn’t think this way.

Princess Yuqing grew up under the favor of the late emperor. After marrying into the marquis’s mansion, she lived a pampered life. She was the only wife of her husband and was used to such a life. Unexpectedly, a concubine suddenly came. At that time, Princess Yuqing was about to give birth to Xie Jingxing. Before she gave birth, she was shocked by this news.

Every day, Madam Fang would come over to pay her respects to Princess Yuqing. She always dressed and behaved properly. It would have been fine if she didn’t come, but the moment she came, Princess Yuqing felt extremely annoyed. Growing up well-protected by her parents, Princess Yuqing was quite unsophisticated and didn’t know any dirty tricks she could play to get rid of people.

It was the nanny who thought of a way to force Madam Fang to leave without telling the princess. Unexpectedly, she didn’t succeed and was even discovered by the Marquis of Lin’an.

The Marquis of Lin’an was an upright person and he could not stand women playing tricks, so he immediately reprimanded Princess Yuqing. This was the first time Princess Yuqing had quarreled with the Marquis of Lin’an since she married him. She was a person who could not stand being wronged. In the end, she left the mansion in a fit of anger.

She thought that the Marquis would come to visit her in a few days. Unexpectedly, a month went by and he still didn’t show up. Consumed by anger and jealousy, she fell seriously ill one day.

The Marquis of Lin’an still loved his first wife deeply and wanted to come over to visit Princess Yuqing. However, he received an imperial edict to go to war overnight and left without even saying goodbye to her.

Not long after Lin An left, Madam Fang found that she had a body.

As the main wife, without the Marquis of Lin’an around, Princess Yuqing had to protect Madam Fang and her child. Otherwise, if anything happened to Madam Fang, the rumors in the capital would probably be that she took advantage of her husband’s absence to harm the concubine.

After a long time, she was mentally and physically exhausted. Princess Yuqing’s body was gradually getting worse and worse. Seeing this, the nanny was anxious. However, Princess Yuging did not allow her to inform the royal family of her illness. She got up and wrote a letter to the Marquis of Lin’an, asking him to come back and see her.

She waited and waited, but no one came.

Three days after Princess Yuqing was buried, the Marquis returned in triumph. He did not even see the corpse of his beloved wife and was extremely sad.
