Chapter 311: Chapter 265: Marquis Jing’an (Part 2)
"I don’t care about anything else, as long as my family inheritance doesn’t fall into the hands of villains."
"The male master of Jing’an Marquis Mansion is the Marquis Jing’an. If you don’t want to rely on a man to compete, it’s not easy; you must use him to compete. Madam, think of it this way, you don’t care about the man, but the Second Madam does. If you can take away what she cares about, you can both preserve your power and infuriate her. Isn’t it killing two birds with one stone? Madam, you are so beautiful; you can completely become a sharp weapon. Furthermore, if you make that man fall in love with you again, but then you refuse him, wouldn’t that revenge be more interesting than pushing him outside, watching him keep company with others and never knowing the consequences of betraying true feelings?"
"You’re right."
"Why not, let’s try it today to see how it works?" Su Yaoguang said in a lowered voice, "Manipulating a man is an interesting thing."
Su Yaoguang applied a ’sick beauty’ makeup on Marchioness Jing’an.
This makeup was hardly noticeable, like no makeup at all, with skin as naturally fair, yet exuding an unhealthy pallor.
However, this sickly look was pitiful, making anyone who saw her want to take care of her.
Su Yaoguang applied some lipstick to Marchioness Jing’an.
"This lipstick color is very faint, just like natural lip color. Our skin can be white, but the lips cannot be pale, otherwise, how frightening it would be."
After finishing the makeup, Marchioness Jing’an went to Marquis Jing’an’s study with Su Yaoguang.
Upon reaching the study, she knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Marchioness Jing’an pushed the door open and said to Marquis Jing’an, who was sitting there without moving, "Marquis, a guest came to the mansion today, a lady from the General Mansion. We suddenly talked about a travelogue in your study. The stories in the travelogue are very interesting, and they are quite keen to borrow it for a read."
"Find it if you want, take it if you find it." Marquis Jing’an replied without even turning his head.
Su Yaoguang waited outside the door.
Listening to the sounds inside, she thought about how indifferent Marquis Jing’an was to his wife.
It’s said that for marrying this main wife, he put in quite an effort back then. Now, as time has passed, the freshness has worn off, and he no longer sees her.
What Su Yaoguang had just said to Marchioness Jing’an was sincere.
If Marchioness Jing’an wants to control the Jing’an Marquis Mansion, she must control his heart. In this family, this man has absolute authority. No matter how hard she works, one word from this man can nullify all her efforts. Therefore, to deal with Jiang Yihuan, she must first control this man.
Marchioness Jing’an is in good condition, and it is not difficult to manipulate this man. If Jiang Yihuan can manipulate him, Marchioness Jing’an can too.
"Marquis... I can’t reach it," Marchioness Jing’an said, "Can you help me?"
Only then did Marquis Jing’an reluctantly put down his pen.
He walked toward Marchioness Jing’an, who had her back to him.
When he saw Marchioness Jing’an in a light lavender dress, surprise flashed in his eyes.
Over the years, Marchioness Jing’an had always been sickly, and the clothes she wore were increasingly old-fashioned.
Today’s outfit was so simple yet elegant, making her look ten or twenty years younger.
Marquis Jing’an reached out for the travelogue. Marchioness Jing’an also reached out for it, and the two reached for the travelogue simultaneously. Marchioness Jing’an stood on tiptoe, her body unstable, suddenly slipping, falling toward Marquis Jing’an.
Marquis Jing’an caught Marchioness Jing’an by her slender waist, lifting her up.
So light!
Marquis Jing’an frowned.
So light, such a slender waist, like a delicate yet fragile porcelain.
"Husband, put me down quickly," Marchioness Jing’an said, bashfully, "If someone sees us, it would be so embarrassing."
Looking at Marchioness Jing’an’s bashful face, Marquis Jing’an was momentarily dazed.
He remembered the first time he met her, he was captivated by her bashful smile, and then went back to prepare the betrothal gifts to propose marriage.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.
Marquis Jing’an put her down, handed her the travelogue, and his voice softened a bit: "Is Madam feeling better?"
Marchioness Jing’an replied, "Better, but still need to rest, so the household affairs have to trouble sister."
Marquis Jing’an recalled Jiang Yihuan and frowned.
That day Jiang Yihuan insisted she was being schemed against and claimed that she had an old grudge against the wife and daughter of the National Guardian General, who deliberately wanted to harm her.
He thought she was truly schemed against, so he let it go at that. Only recently she has been constantly asking him to promote Xiao Ci, which made him suspicious again.
