Chapter 8 Chapter 8 She was teased by three men together...
After Xie Ji and the steward finished discussing important matters and came out, He Shiyan had already left, and Jiang Wu, who was fiddling with the forbidden steps with his fingertips, was looking down and distracted.
The man stopped in front of her, then walked forward and said, "Let's go."
"Here I come." Jiang Wu put down the forbidden steps and was about to take a step to follow, but the forbidden steps that had been quite obedient started to shake and make chaotic noises, as if no matter how she stepped, there would be noises.
"Can you please walk slower? Otherwise, this forbidden step will keep moving around."
Xie Ji, who was walking in front, turned around, frowning slightly as he looked at his wife, who was almost crying because of the forbidden steps and was worried about whether to lift her left foot first or her right foot. He walked forward helplessly and untied the forbidden steps on her waist. "If you like to wear jewelry around your waist, you can choose palace belts, jade pendants, sachets, etc. At least they won't make any messy noises when you walk."
Jiang Wu muttered very quietly, "But they don't sound as nice as this."
"…………" Xie Ji, who was about to untie the restraint belt, restrained the urge to tie it up again for her. Well, she was still young, why should he be angry with her?
"What did you just say?"
After removing the forbidden steps, Jiang Wu felt relieved and shook his head. "He is a noble prince, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be the future ruler. What can I say to him?"
And just now, she had figured out her new personality, a pitiful woman who would rather die than believe that her beloved husband didn't love her.
As for whether she was worried that the three of them would come together to bully her and expose her exaggerated personality, Jiang Wu said there was no need to worry at all. The relationship between the three of them was not good, and they were only temporarily allied because of Shen Tingxue.
Could it be possible that the three of them would get together and tease her with crickets while pinching their fingers?
After He Shiyan left, he did not leave Taibai Tower, but went to another private room on the third floor, where there were already two other people.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is really waiting for you. If you don't come soon, I'm afraid it will be dawn soon." Ji Xiao crossed his legs, holding a wine glass, and looked at the man who pushed the door in with half-closed eyes. Even though he was the crown prince of a country, he had no intention of getting up to greet him.
Song Jin, who was still a white man sitting beside him, also stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, you are here."
He Shiyan didn't care about Ji Xiao's rudeness and nodded to Song Jin, "No need to be so polite."
After sitting down, He Shiyan took the azure teacup, lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Any progress over there?"
Ji Xiao suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out of his head and pretended to be serious, "What about you guys?"
You have to know that the woman is now madly in love with him. As long as he gives her some benefits, she will jump up like a stupid fish that has taken the bait.
Song Jin, whose fingertips were stroking the edge of the teacup, did not answer. His almond-shaped eyes, no longer filled with the usual pity and grievance, were now filled with playful inquiry. "I saw Your Highness talking to her earlier. I wonder what you two talked about."
In fact, Song Jin was also annoyed. He thought that he could get the upper hand by living in Xie's house. Who would have thought that she would be as unromantic as a piece of wood. He was no different from winking at a blind man.
"I just don't want anyone to live in lies deceived by their husbands." He Shiyan stroked the corner of his lips with his fingertips and couldn't help but feel amused when he thought of the poor woman who found out that her husband didn't love her, her eyes reddened and she tried hard to hold back her tears, unwilling to accept the reality and thinking that it was his fault.
He Shiyan originally scoffed at the game they proposed, but changed his mind after seeing the woman.
He was very curious about what irreversible and crazy thing this poor and infatuated woman would do after being abandoned by her beloved husband.
The water on the small red clay stove was boiling and bubbling.
“There is no distinction between high and low.”
Jiang Wu was about to retort when he heard his next sentence, "But there are different levels. The highest level is the divine right of kings, and the lowest level is self-humiliation."
"I thought you'd say, 'Everyone is equal.'" After all, that's what Shen Tingxue loved to say in her dreams. She even made the maids eat at the same table with her, calling them sisters, and preaching that we're all human, with no distinction between the powerful and the slaves. You bunch of parasites are just relying on your ability to reincarnate better than them, otherwise you might not even be as good as them.
Appealing to the question of whether kings, princes, generals and ministers are of different species, dignity is priceless and no one will always be a slave.
Then she watched them show her surprised expressions, and finally she was so moved that she swore to follow her until death, to go through fire and water for her, and then she slapped the faces of those powerful people who looked down on her.
For example, she is a powerful figure in the middle class.
If Shen Tingxue could really carry out her concept of equality for all, Jiang Wu would definitely admire her, but her equality for all seemed to exist only in her mouth, while she herself seemed to enjoy being served by others.
"If even one parent can't treat their own children equally, do you think there really is such a thing as equality for all, equality for all beings?" Xie Ji, holding her Jade Forbidden Steps necklace, gazed towards the distant mountains and starry sky. "Even if there is, it shouldn't just be lip service, but must be truly implemented."
“I thought…”
"Your thinking is nothing more than forcing your thoughts on others."
Juan'er, who did not attend the banquet with the lady today, saw that it was dark and the lady had not returned yet. She was always worried that the lady had encountered something. Just as she was about to go to Lumingxuan again, the housekeeper said that the lady and the master had returned.
"Madam, where have you been? Why did you come back so late? You don't know how worried I am about you." Juan'er, with red eyes from anxiety, pulled Madam to look at her for a long time. She felt relieved only after making sure that Madam was fine. Then she blushed and thought, Madam went out with the adults, what could she have encountered?
"Juan'er, look, this is the mung bean cake I brought you." Jiang Wu, holding a huge colorful kite in her arms, blushed as she handed over the oil-paper bag in her hand. "After the banquet, my husband took me to the night market and bought me a big kite, so I came back late."
"Let's go fly kites together tomorrow, okay?" When she was a child, she also had a kite made by her mother, but it was accidentally burned in a fire.
Juan'er was very happy to receive the gift. She smiled so hard that her round eyes curved into small crescents. "Madam treats me so well. She even brings me food when she goes out to play."
"I'm nice to you because you're nice to me too." Jiang Wu returned to the room and put the kite next to the bed so that she could see it when she woke up.
I thought he would bring her back after dinner, but I didn't expect him to actually take her to see the lanterns. But shopping with him was not fun at all.
No one helped her with the lantern riddles, causing her to waste the ten cents she had secretly saved.
That’s a full ten cents!
After helping Madam finish her bath, Juan'er noticed that she wasn't lying on the table tutoring Zhu'er, but was about to go to bed. She reminded her, "Madam, aren't you going to do your homework today?"
You have to know that the master checks the lady's homework every day, so much so that she sometimes feels that the lady is not like the master's wife, but more like a child.
Jiang Wu, who had crawled into bed, proudly poked her head out, raising it high. "My husband said I must be tired after coming back from the banquet today, so he told me to have a good rest for a day. He also said that while studying hard is good, we must also pay attention to the balance between work and rest."
"Okay, I'm going to bed. Good night."
"Good night." Juan'er closed the door quietly after his wife fell asleep, and then went out through the back door as if she was familiar with the way.
Someone has been waiting outside the back door for a long time.
