Chapter 8: The eldest sister-in-law is here



However, he never thought that Jiang Jinyue had stayed in Tai Jingwan's room last night.

"My Lord, you may have forgotten something. My sister offered me tea yesterday, so of course I have seen him before." Tai Jingwan pretended to be confused.

"I'm asking, have you seen him since you left Qingfeng Courtyard?" Gu Huaizhi asked uncomfortably.

After all, yesterday, after he left Qingfeng Courtyard, he went to Qimengxuan. After that, he neither returned to Qingfeng Courtyard, nor came to Yuehua Pavilion, nor went to Yingxue Pavilion. He only stayed in Qimengxuan.

"My lord, yesterday, my sister and I left Qingfeng Courtyard together, but did you lose something in Qingfeng Courtyard?" Tai Jingwan asked curiously, thinking in her heart, if you don't tell me, since you lost your new wife, I won't tell you either, and my new wife is still in my **.

"It's okay, you can go back!" Gu Huaizhi saw that he couldn't get any useful information from Tai Jingwan, so he let her go back first.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Tai Jingwan originally wanted to ask Jixiang and Ruyi to go back to Yingxue Pavilion with her to wake up their master, but Gu Huaizhi was here, so she couldn't ask anyone and could only go back first.

Tai Jingwan had just returned to Yingxue Pavilion and was delighted to see the visitor.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

That’s right, the person who came was Tai Jingwan’s sister-in-law Qi Qiner.

...

...

"My parents are worried about you, so they asked me to come and see you. The Gu family is really too much. They actually treat my sister like this." Qi Qin'er said, holding Tai Jingwan's hand with heartache.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. Tell my parents not to worry about me." Tai Jingwan quickly said to Qi Qiner.

"Sister, do you have guests?"

Just when Qi Qin'er was about to tell Tai Jingwan that the Tai family would never let her suffer any injustice, she saw a graceful woman walking out of Tai Jingwan's inner hall.

Especially since she calls her sister-in-law "sister"?

Tai Jingwan didn't expect that Jiang Jinyue would wake up at this time.

Seeing the surprise in her sister-in-law's eyes, Tai Jingwan didn't know how to explain this.

"She...who is she?" Qi Qin'er asked tremblingly, pointing at Jiang Jinyue beside her.

In fact, Qi Qiner had seen Jiang Jinyue. At the beginning, when the Tai family got the news that Marquis Xuanping was going to marry Jiang family's legitimate daughter Jiang Jinyue as his concubine, she secretly went to see Jiang Jinyue.

At that time, she felt that Jiang Jinyue was neither as pretty nor as talented as her sister-in-law, nor did she have a good family background. At that time, she felt that this girl from the Jiang family could not threaten her sister-in-law's position in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, so she did not obstruct her.

But now, what is this called?

This girl from the Jiang family actually walked out of her sister-in-law's bedroom?

What does this mean?

Yesterday, on the wedding night of Marquis Xuanping and the daughter of the Jiang family, did the daughter of the Jiang family slept with her own sister-in-law?

What is this?

"Sister-in-law, this is the Marquis's new second wife, Jiang." Tai Jingwan didn't know how to explain to her sister-in-law at this time. After all, Jiang Jinyue stayed at her house last night, which seemed a bit weird no matter how she explained it.

"It turns out it's my sister-in-law who is here. Hello, sister-in-law. Hello, sister-in-law." Jiang Jinyue hurriedly stepped forward and shook Qi Qiner's hand enthusiastically.

In my heart, I felt sorry for Qi Qin'er.

[Oh, this is my beautiful sister’s sister-in-law? She was really beautiful, but unfortunately she and her husband met a madman on their way back to her parents' home tomorrow, and both of them lost their lives. 】

Tai Jingwan was a little embarrassed at first, but when she heard Jiang Jinyue's words, she was shocked.

Although Tai Jingwan didn't know whether what Jiang Jinyue said was true, she was prepared to prevent the worst. No matter what the situation was, Tai Jingwan still planned to stop her elder brother and sister-in-law from returning to her parents' home tomorrow.

"Sister, you'd better hurry back to Yuehua Pavilion. Lord Hou is looking for you everywhere." Tai Jingwan was afraid that Jiang Jinyue would be too lazy to leave, so she quickly reminded her.

"Oh, he just noticed that I was missing?" Jiang Jinyue said indifferently.

"Then I'll go back and take a look. Sister, you can have a good chat with my sister-in-law. I'll come to play with you later." After Jiang Jinyue said this, she left without caring about Tai Jingwan and Qi Qiner's reactions.

"Why is she here with you?" After watching Jiang Jinyue leave, Qi Qin'er asked the question in her mind.

"She said she was scared at night and slept at my place last night." Tai Jingwan said helplessly.

I was still thinking about what Jiang Jinyue had just said about Qi Qiner being murdered when she returned to her parents' home tomorrow.

In fact, Qi Qiner's parents' home is also in the capital, just a few streets away from Tai's home, not far away.

In this capital city, where the emperor lives, if someone told Tai Jingwan that there was a madman who would commit murder, Tai Jingwan would not believe it.

However, if the same thing happened to her, Tai Jingwan felt that she would have to be cautious.

"You believed what she said? You even kept her in your house?" Qi Qin'er was so angry at her sister-in-law's behavior. She believed what she said. What if Jiang wanted to harm her sister-in-law? What should she do?

"Sister-in-law, she doesn't have any bad intentions." Tai Jingwan said this, and she herself was a little unconvinced.

"No bad intentions? How could she have bad intentions? Don't forget that she is Gu Huaizhi's concubine!" Qi Qin'er said with some regret.

After all, whose wives and concubines can live in peace with each other?

Thinking of this, Qi Qiner felt that only her sister-in-law had never suffered.

"Sister-in-law, I understand." Tai Jingwan also knew that Qi Qin'er was so angry for her own good.

"You, you didn't even bother to go home and tell everyone after you were wronged. If I hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have known that such a thing would happen." In Qi Qin'er's opinion, Tai Jingwan was the one who was wronged in this matter.

Moreover, Gu Huaizhi actually slapped the face of their Tai family by marrying a concubine. Isn't this also slapping the face of my sister-in-law and their Tai family?

But the sister-in-law didn't say anything to her brothers from her mother's side. She kept her grievances to herself and didn't even go back to her mother's side for help. This made Qi Qin'er a little angry. Are there so many brothers in her mother's side just for show?

"Sister-in-law, not all men in the world are like the men in our Tai family. They have to be childless after the age of 40 before they can take concubines. It is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines." Although Tai Jingwan felt a little uncomfortable, there were a few men like the Tai family in the capital.

"Oh!" Qi Qin'er felt helpless when she thought about this. After all, in her family, whether it was her father or her brother, all of them had three wives and four concubines.

Besides, in Nanping Country, although the people are open-minded, the status of women is still much lower than that of men.

Especially when it comes to men taking concubines, they have no right to say no. If they do not allow their husbands to take concubines, they are considered jealous and should be divorced and sent back to their parents' home.

"Sister-in-law, I want to go back home tomorrow, is that okay?" Tai Jingwan was worried about her brother and sister-in-law, so she deliberately chose to go back home tomorrow in order to prevent her brother and sister-in-law from going back to her parents' home tomorrow.
