Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 120: Conquering the Affectionate Man (Part 2, Part 4)

The number of concubines in the backyard increased, and the more they resembled Sun Ruolan, the more favored they became.

Although Mu Wan'er was sad at first, she eventually stopped caring and gradually gave up.

In this era, without the cheat system, her divorce and return home would only invite ridicule and bring trouble to her family.

She was just an ordinary office worker from the 21st century who inexplicably transmigrated to this world. She lacked the cunning and scheming of a noblewoman, possessing only a different perspective on things and some peculiar ideas.

She couldn't make airplanes or cannons, nor did she have the recipes for cement and soap; all she could do was live a good life.

Mu Wan'er is still quite free-spirited; she has loved passionately and can let go of what she has lost.

Although she had lost love, she was still Jiang Xu's legal wife and the future mistress of the Marquis's mansion. Her son would be the heir apparent, and she only needed to maintain the proper decorum.

As for men, if she doesn't love them, they are nothing but tools to maintain her status.

Mu Wan'er began to focus her attention on raising her son. She taught him to read and write, and told him strange and wonderful stories from her memories.

One day, Jiang Xu saw Mu Wan'er and her son enjoying a happy time together, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart. He was used to Mu Wan'er doting on him, and her current indifference made him uncomfortable.

He tried to get closer to Mu Wan'er, but was met with a cold response.

Meanwhile, the favored concubines were constantly vying for his attention and scheming against each other, which made Jiang Xu increasingly irritable. He liked Wanwan and Qing, but he only liked their faces, never the people themselves.

Sun Ruolan gave birth to a son after ten months of pregnancy. At this time, the struggle for the crown prince was about to begin. The situation in the court was unpredictable, and Jiang Xu was busy dealing with various forces, which left him physically and mentally exhausted.

Those concubines only knew how to cry and make a fuss, demanding money and treasures, while Mu Wan'er calmly managed the household affairs in an orderly manner.

As the struggle for the crown prince intensified, the Jiang family was also implicated and had to choose a side. Undoubtedly, the Jiang family naturally sided with the Eighth Prince, whether for Sun Ruolan or for the child.

Qingmo simply played her role as a maid every day, paying no attention to the affairs of the court. Mu Wan'er, on the other hand, was completely ignorant of politics and focused solely on managing the Marquis's mansion, oblivious to the raging floods outside.

"Madam, Madam, something's happened to the young master. He suddenly developed a rash today." A maidservant rushed into the courtyard to report.

Upon hearing this, Mu Wan'er's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly rushed to her son's residence, with Qingmo following closely behind.

The young master was covered in red rashes and his breathing was weak.

Mu Wan'er was extremely anxious. Seeing her son in such a state, her eyes were filled with worry. She immediately sent someone to fetch the best doctor in the city and ordered her servants to prepare hot water and other necessities.

After the doctor arrived, he examined the patient carefully and prescribed medicine. Fortunately, the problem was discovered in time and there was no serious harm. It was probably an allergic reaction caused by eating something inappropriate.

Mu Wan'er personally oversaw the preparation and feeding of the medicine. After several days of meticulous care, the young master finally recovered, and she was able to think about the cause and effect of the matter.

Generally speaking, a young master's food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all taken care of by someone, so such a big mistake shouldn't happen. The fact that this has happened makes people suspicious.

At this opportune moment, Qingmo appeared, and it was time for her to perform again. "Madam, how could the young master fall ill for no reason? I bet someone is trying to harm him. It must be the concubines in the back courtyard who are causing trouble. They all want to harm the young master so they can have a son themselves. Madam, you can't be any more kind."

Mu Wan'er frowned upon hearing Qingmo's words.

She knew all too well the treacherous nature of the power struggles within the Marquis's mansion, but without evidence, she couldn't arbitrarily convict someone. "Mo'er, don't talk nonsense. You can't speak recklessly without proof."

But Mu Wan'er had already become suspicious and secretly instructed Qingmo to keep an eye on the movements of the various concubines.

A few days later, Qingmo quietly told Mu Wan'er that she saw Aunt Xue's maid sneaking towards the kitchen.

Mu Wan'er decided to remain calm and wait for an opportunity to seize a weakness.

Just then, there was a banquet at the manor, and Mu Wan'er deliberately reduced the number of people guarding the kitchen. Sure enough, the maid reappeared and was caught red-handed just as she was about to add something to the ingredients.

When Aunt Xue learned of this, she rushed over, pretending not to know anything, intending to punish the maid to settle the matter.

Mu Wan'er sneered, "Sister, this maid has quite the nerve to plot against the young master. I'm afraid someone is behind it."

Jiang Xu also came to investigate. Mu Wan'er recounted the whole story and said that if the matter was not severely punished, it would be difficult to quell public anger.

Jiang Xu ultimately only ordered Aunt Xue to be confined to her quarters. Seeing this, the other concubines also put away their expressions of watching the show.

After this incident, Mu Wan'er was even more disappointed in Jiang Xu. Her son was murdered, but Jiang Xu just let it go lightly. In the end, it was just that she and her son were not important to him.

At this moment, Qingmo spoke up again: "Madam, the young master's actions clearly show that he doesn't respect you. Even now, he's still protecting that vixen. Madam, hesitation will only lead to more trouble."

Mu Wan'er took a deep breath and said slowly, "Mo'er, you're right. I can't just sit here and wait to die any longer."

Qingmo curled her lips into a smile. Is the female supporting character finally going to turn evil? "Madam, whatever you say, I'll do."

"Get me some of that medicine you mentioned last time. Remember, you absolutely cannot let anyone know. Since the world has been so cruel to us, I no longer need to talk about marital affection with them."

Mu Wan'er's face hardened. Mo'er was right. If she went to deal with those concubines, there would be another one after the first. It would be better to solve the problem once and for all.

Don't blame her for being ruthless. She just wanted to live an ordinary life, but they all insisted on provoking her. And it was all the man's fault. He gave those women unrealistic fantasies. Otherwise, how could they dare to lay a hand on the eldest son?

Two days later, Qingmo gave her the medicine, which was colorless and odorless. It could not only make Jiang Xu childless, but also make him unable to have sex.

Mu Wan'er held the medicine, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She didn't want things to come to this, but the situation forced her to protect herself and her son.

The next day, while Jiang Xu was having dinner, Mu Wan'er secretly put the drug in his wine. Jiang Xu was completely unaware and drank it all.

A few days later, Jiang Xu noticed something was wrong with his body; after all, he was no longer able to face those concubines.

The doctors who came to examine the prince all looked troubled, concluding that the prince would likely be unable to have sexual relations in the future, but they could not find the cause of the illness.

"Nonsense, you're all quacks, I'll kill you all, you bunch of useless trash."

Jiang Xu couldn't believe that he was already impotent at such a young age. Although he didn't value desire, not wanting something and being unable to have it were two different things.

"Someone, take my token and fetch the imperial physician, quickly." After saying this, he glanced at the doctors with a gloomy expression and continued, "I don't want anyone outside the Marquis's residence to know about what happened today. Otherwise, I guarantee you won't see the sun tomorrow. Get out of here."

After saying this, the doctors were ushered out, their faces pale with fright. Indeed, it's not easy to make money in a wealthy family; if you're not careful, you might find out something you shouldn't know, and your life could be in danger.

Mu Wan'er pretended to be anxious, but she was actually very calm inside. After all, she didn't need it now, so whether it was useless or not didn't matter to her.

Since Mu Wan'er completely turned evil, her methods have become more ruthless, and she has dealt with those concubines properly, so they no longer dare to cause trouble.

Qingmo nodded in satisfaction. "See? This is what we transmigrated women should do. What's the point of having an unfaithful man?"
