Chapter 115: Some are happy, some are sad
After tossing and turning for most of the night, Jiang Xinyu stayed in bed again the next day as expected.
However, this time July didn’t dare to let his wife sleep until noon.
There were guests coming to the mansion, and after leaving the ladies alone for an hour, July finally couldn't help but want to go and get a reply.
The ladies of the six families all came with their daughters and valuable gifts, and a maid had no say on whether to meet her or not.
July went in and asked his wife to get up. Chun Xing pouted in dissatisfaction.
"What's there to ask? Since those people came at an inopportune time, just let them come next time.
It’s not like she didn’t see it. The bed sheet was torn into pieces. My daughter must have been very tired last night. She really doesn’t know how to feel sorry for her.”
Jiu Yue blushed with shame and said angrily, "You are asking for trouble. Why are you talking nonsense? You are a grown-up girl but you don't have the shame."
Chun Xing didn't take it seriously, "What kind of hypocrisy are you? The governor doesn't have a maid. If I ask you to go in and clean up the things one day, you will act shy."
Jiu Yue was so angry that she stamped her feet. "How can that be the same? It is my duty as a maid to clean up things. It is not your place to make irresponsible remarks about the master's sexual life."
Don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't be presumptuous just because the governor is gentle to his wife. This is not the Jiang family."
Chun Xing snorted unconvincedly, "I don't care whose family it is, I just feel sorry for my daughter."
Xiaodie rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "Chun Xing, you think too much, the bed sheets were torn by our supervisor.
Madam is good at using blunt force, while our Lord uses Eagle Claws. The marks left by the two of us are different."
Very good, it turns out that being a natural fool is the ultimate weapon. This one sentence made Jiu Yue and Chun Xing silent.
The two of them thought of the same question at the same time: how did the lady (girl) make the governor tear the bed sheets?
Jiang Xinyu was sleeping soundly with the quilt in her arms at this moment. Qiyue called her softly for a long time before she finally opened her eyes in a daze.
Hearing that those families came to apologize, Jiang Xinyu could only get up helplessly.
See, there's no harm in taking advantage of your enemy's enemy.
These would be the main cause of trouble for Jiang Wanqiu in the future, so she had to go over and make a pot of tea.
Green tea!
Several ladies were left out for an hour, feeling depressed and uneasy. They thought that this was a way for the governor's wife to intimidate them, so they could only feel angry and depressed.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinyu was quite polite when she came over.
She said that there were seldom visitors at home and she liked to sleep in, and it was all the maids' fault for being so stubborn as not to call her.
After hearing the purpose of the people's visit, she didn't say anything unpleasant. After the girls bowed and apologized, she smiled and waved her hands, saying it was no big deal.
But the tone suddenly changed and he sighed again, "Madams, please don't be too harsh on my sisters. After all, it was all caused by my careless half-sister.
I am not afraid of being laughed at. My father has never remarried since my mother passed away. Everyone in the capital knows that my aunt is the head of the family.
Although Wanqiu is a concubine's daughter, she is ambitious. The little girls may not understand the twists and turns here, but the ladies should be clear about it.
My sisters, please don't blame me for speaking harshly and not giving you face. Before you get married, a few quarrels between sisters are just a small matter. But it's different after you get married.
Even if I want to give in, I still have to consider my husband's family's reputation."
As soon as these words were spoken, the ladies immediately agreed, and the little girls also felt nervous.
They already knew that Jiang Xinyu had married the supervisor of the East Factory, but they had no idea what she was. They only knew that she was a powerful old lady supervisor.
It was not until yesterday when they faced Xiao Yuan to investigate the case that they felt remorseful. Now that they followed their mother to apologize, they resented Jiang Wanqiu even more.
One party apologized sincerely and the other party did not intend to make things difficult. This meeting can be said to be quite successful and the guests enjoyed it very much.
The gifts from the ladies were valuable enough, so Jiang Xinyu pretended to refuse them before accepting them.
This is also the unspoken rule. Accepting gifts means the matter is over. If she doesn't accept any gifts, she will not be able to sleep well.
But she did not accept the gift in vain. She asked July to bring out a few pieces of smoke-cloud yarn and gave one piece to each of the girls.
This kind of material comes from the palace and there's nowhere else to buy it even if you have money. But the color is too light and she doesn't like it so her aunt can't use it. It's just right to do her a favor now.
The ladies were naturally overjoyed.
It was not because of this good material, but because they clearly felt the kindness of the Governor's wife towards them.
After returning home, the girls were reprimanded by their mothers. In short, their mothers blamed them for not knowing right from wrong and not understanding what it meant to be a lazy person.
This time, the little girls accepted it humbly and swore that they would never play with Jiang Wanqiu and Zhao Zhenzhen again.
Good news never travels far, but bad news travels far and wide.
Jiang Xinyu's reputation quickly turned around, but in contrast, Jiang Wanqiu's reputation became worse.
Jiang Quan also had a hard time in the Imperial College and cried several times and refused to go there again.
But this time Jiang Huai was determined not to get used to him, and he didn't take it seriously even when he said he was bullied.
The Imperial College is a place that many students dream of going to. Once you have finally gotten the opportunity, how can you just drop out?
As for being bullied, whoever made you cause trouble, just avoid them and walk away.
Besides, why do people bully you and not others? It must be that you did something wrong.
Jiang Huai's fatherly love is really ridiculous. He used to dote on his son without principles, but now that practical interests have been triggered, his younger son has taken a back seat.
Jiang Quan cried, made a fuss, begged for mercy, and even got sick, but no matter how many tricks he tried, his father would not give in even a word.
Even when those students went too far and he got more and more injured, Jiang Huai just told him to be patient, saying that as long as he studied hard, no one would bully him anymore.
But under the bullying of the crowd, Jiang Quan lived like a frightened bird. How could he concentrate on studying? His grades got worse and worse, and he became more and more haggard visibly.
Liu was so distressed that she pleaded with Jiang Huai many times, but Jiang Huai was no longer as kind to her as before. Once, after a quarrel with her, he even favored a maid in his study.
After Jiang Xinyu took away most of the money, the Jiang family became financially strapped, and Liu's finances became increasingly tight. The servants became careless and perfunctory without any rewards.
Jiang Wanqiu was filled with hatred as she watched her family go wrong in everything. She blamed Jiang Xinyu for everything. It was because of her wrong marriage that the Jiang family's life became a mess.
Her family shouldn't be like this, and she shouldn't live like this.
She hated it so much, why that bitch didn't marry into the Ningguo Mansion as she had wished.
How could Jiang Xinyu live a good life? She should be tortured by the Duke's wife, obeyed the rules, targeted by Zhao Zhenzhen, and hated by her brother Chengye.
But no matter how much Jiang Wanqiu hated her, she was powerless to do anything. Apart from trying to please her father, comfort her mother and her brother every day, she could do nothing.
Jiang Xinyu was in a good mood today. After seeing off a few ladies, he continued to eat, drink, exercise and have fun.
Xiao Yuan was in a good mood at first, but he became furious after hearing a piece of news.
The original purpose of establishing Dongchang was to serve as the emperor's eyes and ears. There were many spies who were well-informed. If there was any disturbance in the capital, the first ones to smell it would be the Dongchang's spies.
Xiao Yuan had long known about the perverted hobbies of Chengyi Earl's eldest son Xie Lin and the fifth prince Jin Zecheng, and even several unsolved cases were related to them.
However, if the people did not report such cases, the officials would not investigate them. Even if a case occurred, it would be handled by the Jingzhao Yin first.
But Xiao Yuan never expected that these two people would dare to target his wife, and for a moment, he was filled with murderous intent and his eyes turned red.
Xiao Douzi knew that his master would easily lose his mind whenever he got involved in matters concerning his wife, so he quickly gave him some advice when he saw that things were not going well.
Regardless of anything else, at least find July or Xiaodie to ask what happened yesterday.
It's not impossible to kill a few princes, but we can't just do it as soon as we hear the news. We have to make some plans, right?
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions, but the murderous intent in his eyes did not dissipate. He only squeezed out a few words coldly from between his teeth:
"Go call July and Xiaodie!"
