With that, she looked at Jonathan with an intoxicatingly gentle smile. Seeing my willingness to be so aggrieved, he will definitely not truly aggrieve me. The grievance will only be temporary. It will be fine in the future.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Rosemary walking over. She said coldly in her heart, “I’ve already been so aggrieved. If you make things difficult for me, it will prove that you’re a vulgar and barbaric person. How can you be Jonathan’s wife?”

Jonathan finally remembered her. He could not help but frown. “Nonsense. Even if you agree, Arthur won’t agree. How can a sister of the baron family be a concubine?”

Cristina knew that he could not bear to wrong her. She said affectionately, “If you agree, he can’t object.”

Jonathan frowned. How could I decide on such a matter? Why does she come to me to say such a thing? Does she not know her limits?

Just as he was wondering whether to coldly dismiss her or seriously reject her, Rosemary slowly arrived. Jonathan seemed to have found his savior. He quickly said, “I’ll leave it to you.”

Rosemary had been busy all day, arranging everything for the wedding. She had just heaved a sigh of relief when this happened. She was disgusted with Cristina.

When Cristina saw Rosemary coming and heard Jonathan’s words, she straightened her back and glared at Rosemary. Her eyes were dark and even carried a hint of smug provocation.

“You’re willing to be a concubine?” Rosemary looked at her expressionlessly, her eyes deep.

Cristina glanced at Jonathan with longing in her eyes. Then, she turned to look at Rosemary. “Yes, I’m willing.”

Rosemary said indifferently, “Alright then, as you wish. Go and change your clothes. Let’s do it together tonight.”

After saying that, she called two maids over and said to them, “Take her and help change her clothes. Anyway, the guests are still here; we’ll do a concubine’s bow in front of everyone and take her back to the residence.”

Although Cristina was dissatisfied with her status as a concubine, she did not ask for anything else now. For her, it was more important to marry Jonathan. She had already understood that Rosemary was the only wife in Jonathan’s family now. There were no other concubines. In the future, Rosemary would be her only rival. Therefore, Cristina took a deep look at Jonathan and followed the two maids.

Jonathan walked over and hugged Rosemary’s shoulder. He said suspiciously, “I remember she was Oliver’s fiancée. Later on, she wanted to break off the engagement. Why did she say that she wanted to be a concubine after Oliver got into trouble? And you actually meddle with her. If she really becomes Oliver’s concubine, won’t Baron Felton be furious?”

Rosemary looked at Jonathan’s innocent yet handsome face and thought that it would be better if he didn’t know what Cristina had in mind. So she took his arm and said, “She asked for it herself. Later, when we are in front of the other people, I will ask her about it again. Isn’t that okay?”

“What about Isolde? Have you asked her?” Jonathan asked.

Rosemary thought for a moment. “I don’t think Isolde would mind. What’s wrong with having another concubine to serve her?”

The status of concubines was low. They must serve the main wife in the household. When the main wife had her meal, the concubine helped with the dishes. When the main wife drank coffee, the concubine served coffee. In a word, having one more free maid wasn’t bad.

“You’d better ask Isolde,” Jonathan said. “After all, she’s about to lead the army. If you make her unhappy by causing such a commotion in the backyard, it’ll be tiring.”

Rosemary knew that he was stubborn, so she said, “Alright, I’ll go ask her now. You can go out first. If Isolde agrees, you have to ask in front of other people later. You have to be a witness.”

Jonathan said, “I’ll order someone to inform Baron Felton first.”

“No way!” Rosemary immediately frowned. “Why did you inform him? This is what Cristina owes Oliver. She should return it. If it doesn’t work, she can be divorced.”

“That will ruin her reputation…”

“Why are you so long-winded? She rushed to Southern Watch to end the engagement. Doesn’t that ruin Oliver’s reputation? Go and do your things!” Rosemary didn’t bother to talk to him. Fine, he just occasionally goes off the rails.

Isolde was about to change out of her wedding dress and put on her battle robe when she saw Rosemary enter again.

“There’s no hurry to change into your battle robe.” Rosemary reached out to stop her and helped her adjust her crown.

“What’s wrong?” Isolde had just been looking at the topographic map of Zloimond sent by Jonathan and did not know what was going on outside.

Rosemary looked at her with an unprecedented smile on her face. “Were you angry when Oliver was jilted?”

“Of course I was angry.” Isolde was furious when she thought of Cristina’s face. She wished she could slap her.

Rosemary grinned. “Great. I’ll give you a good chance now. She said that she was willing to be Oliver’s concubine. Take her in. After you’ve punished her enough, you can leave.”

Isolde petrified. I just finished the wedding and they get Oliver a concubine so soon? Rosemary even said it was a good chance; that’s crazy. If I want to deal with Cristina to take revenge, I can just sneak into the Langley family and beat her up. Why should I take her as Oliver’s concubine? I’ll see her every day that way. No…

“You can’t object.” Rosemary looked at her warningly.

Isolde reached out to support her hair crown and said helplessly, “I’m very happy to solve all kinds of women’s problems for the Marquis.”

Rosemary raised her eyebrows and looked at her in surprise. “You know?”

“I’m not blind!” Isolde recalled how Cristina looked at Jonathan and wished she could swallow him to keep him safe; she could not help but shiver.

“It’s obviously known by everyone. If we don’t resolve it, Jonathan’s reputation will be ruined by her,” said Rosemary. Indeed, no matter who provoked the other, no one would be able to escape responsibility in the end. In Isolde’s previous life, because of Cristina’s infatuation, Jonathan was misunderstood by many people. They said that he had first provoked an unmarried girl and then heartlessly abandoned her. Jonathan was really wronged.

“After returning from the expedition, chase her away immediately. That’ll do.” Rosemary had thought it through very thoroughly.

Isolde could only say, “Alright!”

“Actually, it’s for your own good. Cristina was engaged to Oliver after all. Now that she’s begging to be Oliver’s concubine, she can wash away the shame of abandoning Oliver.”

After Rosemary finished speaking, she turned around and left. When she reached the door, she sighed and said, “Oliver, you’re so lucky today. You’re marrying a wife and taking a concubine. When you come back, you’ll be overjoyed.”

Ever since Isolde received Sadie’s notification, she had been speculating. However, she dared not ask for fear of leaking the news. Now that she heard Rosemary say this, she felt more confident and excited.
