181 Stay and Live Together
Xiao Meili’s expression changed when she heard what Old Madam Zhao said. The Old Madam ignored Xiao Meili’s ugly expression and only sighed, “Moreover, the Zhao family will be handed over to Zhao Ruifeng in the future. He is now the emperor’s favorite official, and there are few people in Jing City who have more power than him. Even if Zhao Panpan enters the palace, what benefits can she bring to the Zhao family? Zhao Ruifeng is already powerful enough, and there are no other sons in the family that need Zhao Panpan’s help in the palace.” The more she spoke, the more the Old Madam hated Xiao Meili. Ever since Xiao Meili entered the Zhao family, it was as if she had cut off the fate of the Zhao family for giving birth to a son. For more than ten years, the Zhao family had not given birth to a single son!
As soon as Xiao Meili heard the Old Madam bringing up the past, she knew that the Old Madam was blaming her for being too cruel and destroying the Zhao family’s foundation.
“If you have nothing to do, don’t go out so much. Stay in the temple and chant more scriptures.” The Old Madam waved her hand. She was annoyed when she saw Xiao Meili.
Xiao Meili went out with a cold face.
Old Master Zhao glanced at Zhao Hongwei and laughed, “You’re really capable to let a woman control you.”
Zhao Hongwei was extremely embarrassed. He did not want to go to the courtyard behind anymore. If it was not for the fact that Mei’er’s stomach was getting bigger and bigger, he would not have gone there. Concubine Yuan’s manly moans and Xiao Meili’s high and mighty attitude made him extremely annoyed.
When Zhao Yingying heard about this in the room, she chuckled and said, “That Zhao Panpan has deceived the empress for so many years, and now she’s rushing to enter the palace to become the emperor’s consort. She even wants to let my future sister-in-law get married after her. She probably wants to take advantage of the strange phenomenon in Jing City during this period of time to make herself look good. She’s not afraid that the magpies in the sky will sh*t on her face! How shameless!” Zhao Yingying was so angry that she kept snorting. When the maidservants in the room heard her words, they all laughed. Their Young Miss had become much more cheerful since she returned from Happy Town and was more like a little girl. When she mentioned the general’s future wife, her tone was very friendly. Even the general, her elder brother, had to step back. The maidservants were very curious about Jiang Xi.
“Our residence will finally welcome a new Madam. After waiting for so many years, I only hope that when the future Young Madam enters the house, she will not be bullied by the concubines in the residence.” The maidservants were a little worried. After all, they also knew that the future Young Master did not have the support of her maternal family. She grew up in the countryside and did not have any schemes. She had not experienced the struggle for favor in the harem and had not seen the means of those women. Therefore, they were very worried about the future Young Madam’s safety. One of the maidservants had seen Jiang Xi before. She always felt that Jiang Xi was like an innocent little white rabbit. If the little white rabbit entered the Zhao residence, would she be skinned and eaten?
Two days before the wedding, the Jiang family was brought to the Jiang residence.
“Our Jiang Xi is really capable. She’s already living in such a big house. When you get married, this house will be useless. In the future, it’ll be given to your fourth brother, Jiang Si. Jiang Si will be taking his examination this year. When that time comes, he’ll live in this big house. Mother can also enjoy life with you. After Yang Fen came to the Jiang residence, she touched here and there with bright eyes. When she saw Jiang Shan, she even patted his head heavily. “You’re so heartless. Your fourth brother is living alone outside. Why didn’t you call him over to live with you? Isn’t it a waste for you and Jiang Xi to live in such a big house? Tomorrow, empty your room for Jiang Si to live in. When Jiang Si becomes the top scholar in the future, he will find you a wife.”
Yang Fen did not like Jiang Shan at all. He was a useless person to her. After she had finished looking at the residence, she ran to the main gate to look at the peddlers coming and going. She said to Jiang Guoyou in surprise, “Hey, the people living around here are all high-ranking officials, right? Tomorrow, I’ll ask my son-in-law to buy me some good jewelry. Hubby, why don’t we stay here and let Jiang Shan go back by himself? We can be at ease if we leave the fields to Jiang Shan. Jiang Xi is still young and doesn’t know much about the ways of the world. Let’s stay here and help her. ”
From the moment she entered the Jiang mansion, the servant girls in the mansion had been calling her ‘Madam Yang Fen’, so much so that Yang Fen felt a little smug. Those wives of officials dressed in gold and silver were also very polite when they saw her, and their tone was also very respectful. This greatly satisfied Yang Fen’s vanity. Jing City was really good.
