Chapter 109 Birthday Banquet
It was still early for bedtime as they had just finished their meal, so Xiao Yuan was not in a hurry. He embraced his wife and took advantage of her while chatting with her.
It's just that the topic they talked about was rather perverted. Xiao Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually asked his wife for her opinion on some of the more tricky things in the prison.
It’s no wonder that these things are professionally relevant. Governor Xiao really asked the right person.
Jiang Xinyu was, after all, a graduate of a professional school and had received professional training. Even though there were not so many instruments in ancient times, he had memorized the ancient wisdom crystals such as "Xi Yuan Ji Lu" and "Ping Yuan Lu", so he could talk about it very clearly.
Governor Xiao felt a little regretful for bringing up this topic.
In fact, he didn't really want to know the characteristics of corpses of those who were raped and killed or killed and raped. He preferred to study the bodies of living people.
For example, what does the lady look like when she is just aroused and what does she look like when she is completely conquered by him.
Jiang Xinyu was not a person with strong will, and the two of them chatted about bed.
The night was short after being tossed around in love, and the next day the governor's wife was so lazy that she didn't get up until noon.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuan did not make any more trouble that night, and Jiang Xinyu actually made it to the birthday banquet at the Marquis Chengyi's mansion.
The old lady of Uncle Chengyi was not celebrating his birthday, and Uncle Chengyi also knew that something had happened in his second son-in-law's family and had no intention of holding a big birthday banquet.
But the lady said that Governor Xiao and his wife would come to the birthday party, and Lord Chengyi also wanted to show off his family's relationship with Dongchang, so he posted more messages. The day was crowded with guests and quite lively.
Jiang Xinyu still brings July and Xiaodie with her when she goes out. The coachman and guards cannot enter the inner courtyard, so it is better to bring two capable helpers.
As expected, as time goes by, the tide rises. The last time she came, she was a nobody and no one cared about her. But now, the lady Qin, the wife of the Earl of Carriage, was already waiting at the door.
Right from the start, she was very affectionate and wanted to hold her hand, calling her niece all the time. If you didn't know her, you would think she was her aunt.
Jiang Xinyu had no idea about the banquet. If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Yuan came to arrest someone, she would not have bothered to make this trip.
But at this moment, when she saw Liu and Jiang Wanqiu, who looked unhappy and miserable in the crowd, she became interested instead. She said a few perfunctory words to Qin and walked straight towards her good aunt and concubine sister.
Qin saw that it would be inappropriate for her to be too flattering when she went to talk to the Jiang family. There were many guests at the moment, so she decided to wait until after dinner to have a private meeting to discuss the details.
When Liu saw this evil star coming, she shuddered unconsciously, fearing that she would not care about her dignity and cause trouble in this situation.
This damn girl is married, but she still has no place to go in her late autumn.
For girls of marriageable age, all wedding banquets and birthday parties are opportunities for them to show themselves. You never know when they might be spotted by some noble lady.
People of their status don't have many opportunities to attend high-end banquets, so she specially bought luxurious clothes for Wanqiu, which must not be ruined by this little bitch.
This lady of the baron is really getting more and more out of line. She even thinks it's unlucky to invite a eunuch's wife to her birthday party.
Jiang Xinyu seemed not to notice the awkwardness of Liu's smile. She put her arms around the mother and daughter on each side, and they were so affectionate that outsiders would think they had a very good relationship.
Jiang Wanqiu suppressed the goosebumps all over her body and forced a smile, but her lips didn't match her words. God knows how much she wanted to scream and curse.
Jiang Xinyu laughed even more happily. If anyone said that the relationship was not good, she would curse loudly. Sometimes it was more effective to be hateful to the other party.
Ever since she was chased away by Jiang Xinyu last time, Liu has clearly realized the difference in status between her and Jiang Xinyu. Before her daughter can find a powerful backer, she really wants to avoid this evil star.
But now there is no escape.
In order to give Jiang Wanqiu a chance to escape, she could only sacrifice herself to hold Jiang Xinyu back.
The reason is ready-made. Jiang Xinyu is already married and shouldn't be with young girls. It would be more interesting to be with married ladies.
Jiang Xinyu chuckled, "It shouldn't be my aunt who accompanies me, are you trying to drag me into the same group as the concubines?"
Oops, I'm so sorry.
Auntie wants to find a companion to accompany you, but unfortunately my husband doesn't have a concubine."
The ladies watching the excitement all had a good relationship with Liu. In the past, they would have spoken up for Liu and rebuked the rude girl.
But now that Miss Jiang has become the wife of the governor, they don't want to bring trouble to her husband's family or her own family, so they avoid Liu's gaze and dare not go forward.
Liu held Jiang Xinyu just to help her get away. Seeing that Jiang Wanqiu had already left, she did not insist and just found a chair to sit down, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
She knew she couldn't gain any advantage by talking, and she didn't want to get herself into trouble.
Just bear with it, wait until her Song'er passes the imperial examination and becomes her legal wife, wait until she marries into a wealthy family in late autumn and tramples this little bitch under her feet.
Who made her so blind that she didn't realize that this damn girl had been playing dumb? Now that the other party was in power, she could only avoid the attack temporarily.
Now that the banquet has not started yet, the ladies are too lazy to sit idly in the flower hall. Many people are gathered in twos and threes on the corridor, and gradually some people come over to greet Jiang Xinyu.
Eunuch Xiao Yuan's identity was despised, but his power was very attractive.
For those minor officials of the fifth or sixth rank, Governor Xiao was someone who could decide their life or death with a single word. Those wives, having finally gotten to meet the Governor's wife, all planned to come over and make friends with her.
Jiang Xinyu thought that someone would provoke her and slap her in the face in this situation, but she was overthinking it.
It turns out that novels are not credible.
In fact, this is easy to understand. The ladies who are in the Beijing circle all have their own ideas.
Even if their husbands are on the side of the Left Prime Minister, they are unwilling to offend Jiang Xinyu and leave themselves a way out.
The wives of officials looked majestic and enjoyed the honor, but they also took risks.
If the old man had been doing well, it wouldn't matter. But once he was dismissed and his property was confiscated, it would be more useful to know the wife of the governor of Dongchang than to know the princess.
It is better for the county officials to be in charge now. The Dongchang guards will not give face to anyone and will not make things difficult for the friend of their own supervisor's wife.
Even if they can't make friends and don't offend others, it's good. Otherwise, they will be in trouble if they hear words from others.
This idea is actually quite strange. No one would have had this idea ten or twenty years ago.
But who made this a troubled time?
As the emperor grew older, he became more corrupt and incompetent. The princes under him were like black-eyed chickens, framing and overthrowing him constantly.
A guest today may be a prisoner tomorrow. No one dares to say that his master's official position means life imprisonment.
It’s a pity that only the wives of officials understand this truth.
The young ladies in their teens have been spoiled by their families. They are ignorant of the sufferings of the world and have no idea of the undercurrents in the capital.
Beside a small stone table in the garden, Jiang Wanqiu was advising a few young sisters with a look of resentment and grievance on her face.
It doesn't matter if she is bullied. She feels much better after talking to her sisters.
Her elder sister is now married to a powerful eunuch and is even more arrogant and domineering than before. She doesn't want to drag her sisters into the same situation and let them be bullied like her.
Zhao Zhenzhen, who had always gotten along well with Jiang Wanqiu, also came this time and exaggerated how shameless her former sister-in-law was.
She also talked about how vicious the old granny was, and how Jiang Xinyu took advantage of her power to bully her family and extort money from them.
Little girls aged fifteen or sixteen are at the age when the second-year syndrome is rampant.
What's more, these people are all close friends of Jiang Wanqiu and Zhao Zhenzhen, and they have often squeezed Jiang Xinyu with them in the past.
I'm used to hitting someone and I want to curse them. I'm used to speaking.
The people who have been bullied by their group for a long time suddenly turned the tables. If adults knew to avoid the sharp edge for fear of retaliation, the young people would not think so much because they were too hot-blooded.
In the eyes of these little girls, Jiang Xinyu had bullied Wanqiu in the past by relying on her status as a legitimate daughter, and they were all doing justice.
Now she is just relying on the power of an old lady supervisor. Do you think they will be afraid of her?
