Chapter 91 The Marquis's Commoner Wife

The original owner was an ordinary person. The only thing that made her extraordinary was that she had a stunningly beautiful face. She had three older brothers, all of whom had already married. Her parents lived in harmony. In addition to farming, she would also go to the city to sell food to earn some pocket money.

Ning's mother was very good at making pastries. During the slack season, she would make some and sell them in the city, sometimes to her three brothers, and sometimes to her sisters-in-law.

One time, the original owner wanted to buy some cloth, so he went to the city with his sister-in-law.

As a result, the original owner was targeted by a dandy young man, who flirted with her, and the original owner got so angry that she slapped him.

That young man was the little bully in the family and had never been beaten since he was a child.

How could he endure being beaten by a woman? He wanted to strip the original owner's clothes and humiliate her on the spot.

The original owner kicked the other person and took the opportunity to escape. After the dandy young man recovered from the pain, he immediately chased after him with a few lackeys. When the original owner was about to be caught up, the Marquis of Zhennan appeared.

He rode on a tall horse and rescued the original owner from danger like a hero. The original owner fell in love with him at first sight. Marquis Zhennan also fell in love with the original owner. After dealing with the playboy, he brought the original owner back to Marquis Zhennan's mansion.

Han Yongjin wanted to marry the original owner as his principal wife, but he was obstructed by the old lady because she wanted to marry her niece to her son as his principal wife.

Then the original owner can only be a concubine.

Concubines could be bought and sold in ancient times.

Some wealthy mansions would even keep such women specifically for entertaining guests.

Whoever likes it can take it away, and if they don’t like it anymore, they can resell it or buy it.

Because of the life-saving grace, the original owner almost gave Marquis Zhennan whatever she wanted, and Marquis Zhennan promised her that she was the only woman he wanted in his life, and that marrying her cousin was just to fulfill his mother's wish, so the original owner really agreed.

After the Marquis married his wife, the original owner was also carried into the mansion in a sedan chair.

Over the next year or so, Marquis Zhennan took great care of the original owner as he had promised, and only favored one person. He never entered the cousin's room, let alone favored her.

Soon, the original owner became pregnant. On the day of delivery, the midwife reversed the fetal position that was originally intended for normal delivery, causing the original owner to die of hemorrhage, leaving two lives.

……

When Ning Yan came through, she was caught up by the dandy young man. When he was about to humiliate her, Han Yongjin saw the woman who was radiant despite her coarse linen clothes, so he rode forward and whipped the dandy on the arm. Then he whipped Ning Yan and took her to the horse!

Han Yongjin was stunned for a moment with the warmth and fragrance in his arms. Ning Yan was frightened and leaned into the man's arms in panic.

Han Yongjin was immediately distracted, and couldn't help but put his other hand around Ning Yan's waist, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Ning Yan was stunned for a moment, but she sat up straight after hearing what he said. She looked at a loss. She had just escaped death, so she could only thank Han Yongjin with a trembling voice, "Thank you so much for saving me."

Han Yongjin felt a sense of loss as his arms suddenly became empty, and then he vented his anger on the playboy.

"In broad daylight, these people dared to rob a woman in the street. This is a crime that should not be punished! Someone, take these people to the government office immediately and sentence them accordingly!"

How to judge?

The punishment ranged from caning to exile. Even if the other party had a good family background, they would still be beaten. Han Yongjin's followers immediately stepped forward, arrested the men, and sent them to the government office.

"Well, benefactor, can you let me go? I, I want to go find my sister-in-law."

In the original owner’s life, she was foolishly brought back to the mansion by Han Yongjin. Ning Yan must not be such a fool.

Han Yongjin deliberately squeezed the horse's belly. Ning Yan screamed, leaned back, and fell into the man's arms again.

Han Yongjin hugged her, and at that moment he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction and peace of mind. "I will let you go right now, but I don't know if the playboy who bullied you has any accomplices. If you are bumped into by those people, I don't know if anyone can save you."

Ning Yan: ... Very good, you are worthy of being a general who leads troops to fight, you are so cunning!
The original owner was just a weak and ignorant country girl. She was already extremely panicked by what happened today, and after being frightened by the Marquis, how could she care about the differences between men and women?
She directly begged Marquis Zhennan to take her with him to find her sister-in-law.

Before meeting those playboys, the sister-in-law saw that the original owner was sweating a lot. It was already noon, so she went to buy her food. Now that she couldn't see her, she must be very anxious.

Little did she know that the Marquis of Zhennan had been thinking through all sorts of things. After only knowing each other for a moment, he had already developed an obsession!
He wants her!
She should be his!

Only by bringing her home and spending every day and night with her can he feel at ease!

Then, he began to ask Ning Yan questions.

Ning Yan pretended to be ignorant and said everything she could. After all, the person behind her was her savior, and a normal person would not be on guard.

Soon, Ning Yan found her sister-in-law, "My Lord, this is my sister-in-law, let me go!"

Even though Han Yongjin was reluctant, he had to carry the man off the horse.

Sister-in-law Ning was going crazy looking for Ning Yan. When she saw her being carried by a man on a horse, her heart skipped a beat. "Sister-in-law, where have you been? I couldn't find you after I bought the things. I was scared to death."

Ning Yan trotted over to her sister-in-law, hugged her arm and started crying silently, "Sister-in-law, let's go home quickly, I'm so scared."

Mrs. Ning quickly patted her sister's arm. Her sister-in-law was not only good-looking, but also obedient and sensible. It had never happened before that she cried like this today. Something must have happened.

She glanced at the man standing in front of her with the horse. There were some things she couldn't ask when there were outsiders around. "Okay, okay, let's go home now."

Little did he know that the Marquis of Zhennan was so heartbroken when he saw Ning Yan crying. Those damn guys were the ones who scared his woman.

He simply bowed his hands and said, "I am Han Yongjin, the Marquis of Zhennan. Something did happen just now. I am worried about letting you two weak women go home. How about I send you two back?"

Mrs. Ning's first reaction was to refuse. In broad daylight, this man had just taken her sister-in-law on a horse and paraded through the city. It was obvious that he had no good intentions.

However, my sister-in-law is a naive person!
"Sister-in-law, the Marquis is a good man. He helped me to drive away the bad guys and sent them to the government. He was afraid that something might happen to me, so he took me to see you. Let's let the Marquis of Zhennan take us there. Otherwise, what should we do if we run into bad guys again?"

Mrs. Ning: ...I think the worst one is this good guy you mentioned!
In the end, the Marquis of Zhennan hired a carriage, let the aunt and sister-in-law get in the carriage, and he rode on horseback to protect them. About half an hour later, they arrived at Ningjia Village on the outskirts of Beijing.

After escorting the person home, Zhennan Hou also recognized him as his master. Ning Yan thanked him again. Han Yongjin couldn't help but said, "Miss Ning has been saying thank you all the time. This Marquis feels that I cannot repay you for saving my life. I should repay you with my body!"
