Chapter 27: The Zhao Family is Bustling
Although Jiang Xinyu didn't understand why Xiao Yuan insisted on taking her with him, she didn't dare not go since this bastard said so.
They are now a married couple, and in this cruel era, the husband has the right of life and death over his wife.
It would be good if I had a useful mother's family, otherwise even if I was beaten to death it would be in vain.
There is no need to talk about her family.
Not to mention that she married a powerful man like Xiao Yuan, even if she married a commoner, her scumbag father would not stand up for her. At most, he would take back her dowry after she was beaten to death and then cheat the other party out of money.
Now her husband has become Xiao Yuan. Whenever Jiang Huai dares to fart in front of this girl, she admires his courage.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu suddenly felt happy.
It seems like she needs to go back home the day after tomorrow.
In the past two days, she tried her best to make Xiao Yuan happy, and then took him to Jiang's house to use her power to bully his scumbag father.
Hehe, this is possible. It makes me feel so beautiful just thinking about it.
Xiao Yuan felt a little unhappy when he saw Jiang Xinyu smiling like a sunflower as she got on the carriage.
"Why are you so happy when I tell you that you're going to your ex-husband's house?"
Jiang Xinyu nodded immediately, "I'm so happy. I'm so happy to be able to get rid of that family of vampires.
My husband, you don’t know that the old woman in the Duke’s Mansion is the most greedy person, but she always acts arrogant and self-righteous.
When he saw me wearing fancy clothes, he said in a sarcastic tone that women should not be too ostentatious and should be pure and elegant.
She also told me to learn from her daughter Zhao Zhenzhen and not to have such a mean stink.
It's hilarious. What am I learning?
Do you want to drool at my jewelry like she does?
They really know how to flatter themselves. They clearly can't afford it but still say they don't like it.
Every time I bought some new jewelry, Zhao Zhenzhen would point it at me in a subtle way, and she almost snatched it away directly.
If I am not willing to give it to her, she will look aggrieved as if I have bullied her, and then my green tea concubine sister will dare to come over and pretend to be a good person.
Fortunately, I did not marry into their family this time, otherwise at least one-third of the jewellery in my trousseau would have gone into Zhao Zhenzhen’s trousseau.
My dear husband, just wait and see. When the dowry is carried out, the Zhao family must be more upset than if their own father had died.
Zhao Chengye could at least pretend, but his beloved sister would probably faint on the spot."
Looking at Jiang Xinyu who was so energetic and smiling like a little fox, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
He is a little bit stupid, but he is genuine.
Such badness is obviously much more likable than pretending to be virtuous.
If she can keep it up like this, it would be nice to have someone like her in the family.
At this time, the two people did not know that even if they had not gone to exchange the dowry, the Ningguo Mansion would have been in chaos.
Yesterday, Zhang Zhongyi sent a servant to the Zhao family but did not explain the marriage exchange. The Zhao family just thought that the Left Prime Minister failed to send someone to pass the message to Zhao Chengye.
Who would have thought that the sky would fall in the morning? When Zhao Chengye saw that it was Li Mingyue lying on the bed, he screamed and fainted.
The maid guarding outside the door heard something strange and rushed into the room. Seeing that the prince and his wife were both unconscious, she immediately panicked.
A group of people hurriedly went to call for a doctor, and some people who had seen Jiang Xinyu noticed that something was wrong with the bride and hurried to inform the Duke's wife.
After the eldest daughter of the Jiang family got engaged to their prince, she would always come to the mansion to pay her respects to the Duke's wife on the three major festivals and two major birthdays. Many maids in the mansion knew her.
It was obvious that something was wrong with the bride at this moment, and the servants in the yard immediately thought something was wrong.
Chunhong, hiding in the corner, looked as pale as death. She tried her best to reduce her presence and waited for the next storm.
Even though the Ningguo Mansion was just an empty shell, it still had a palace doctor. After a while, the old doctor arrived first.
At this time, Zhao Chengye had been carried to the soft couch beside him. The old doctor frowned as soon as he felt his pulse.
Before the result could be announced, the Duke's wife arrived. When she saw her son's pale face, she immediately rushed over with a howl.
She had worked hard all her life to control the backyard of the Duke's Mansion, and thought she could rest easy with two sons and a daughter.
Unexpectedly, the eldest son died without leaving any offspring after getting married. If something happened to the second son, she would really not be able to survive.
If she had known earlier that she should have kept the two illegitimate sons when she was young, as long as they were restrained by filial piety, they would not be able to escape from her Five Fingers Mountain.
But at that time, I was too arrogant and thought my two sons were safe, so I didn't hold back. What should I do now?
Even if the Duke is still alive, he has been bedridden and unable to have children. If the Duke's Mansion has no heirs, the title and mansion will be lost.
The old doctor heard the Duke's wife crying and interrupted her immediately, "Madam, please calm down.
The prince just used aphrodisiacs, indulged himself too much, and fainted due to anger. As long as he stays away from women and takes good care of himself for the next two months, there will be no serious consequences."
The Duke's wife's crying stopped abruptly, and then she burst into rage again.
"That little bitch from the Jiang family seduced her own man on the first day of her marriage. Even the whores in the brothel are not as despicable as her.
What are we still standing there for?
Why don't you bring her over here and make her kneel down?"
The maid in the room knelt down quickly and said, "The prince's wife is also unconscious in bed, and we can't wake her up no matter how hard we try.
And… and…”
"And if you can't wake him up, just give him some cold water to wake him up. Are you asking me to go and wake him up myself?"
Nanny Yu had always been the old lady's lackey. Seeing the old lady furious, she quickly walked to the bed, lifted the curtain and prepared to call for help.
He was also surprised when he saw it, then he hurried back and whispered in the Duke's wife's ear with a strange look on his face,
"Go and have a look, something is wrong, the person on the bed is not the Crown Prince's wife."
The Duke's wife's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Chengye hated the girl from the Jiang family and favored someone else?
How can this be possible? The dowry hasn't even been arranged yet. Wouldn't it be troublesome to fall out with Jiang Xinyu now?
The Duke's wife hurried over to take a look.
It was indeed not Jiang Xinyu, but she was not the maid serving in Zhao Chengye Courtyard either.
Could it be the Jiang family's maidservant?
Why isn't Jiang Xinyu here?
Last night, Chengye doted on the maid in the bridal chamber, and with her immature temper, she would definitely get upset.
Thinking of this, the Duke's wife slapped Li Mingyue in the face.
No matter what the situation is, ask this little bitch first.
The slap was so hard that Li Mingyue's face swelled up immediately.
She was just too tired last night and fell asleep, and she woke up immediately after the slap.
Li Mingyue was startled when she saw the Duke's wife staring at her with fiery eyes.
Then he touched his red and swollen face and burst into tears, "How can the Duke's Mansion act like this? Prince Zhao forced me to have sex with you and you beat me up. I can't live anymore.
I want my dad to beat the drum.
My marriage was arranged by the Emperor, and you have committed the crime of snatching someone else's wife. "
Li Mingyue's crying was three-quarters fake and seven-quarters real. She stiffly recited the lines her mother taught her while trying hard to cover up her guilt with her crying.
No matter whether she is right or wrong, she should just act like a victim. After all, she is the daughter of an official. Even if the Zhao family is angry, they dare not do anything to her.
Although Li Mingyue's voice was stiff, no one noticed anything unusual because of her crying and swollen cheeks.
Instead, the words "the emperor is acting as a matchmaker" and "asking dad to beat the drum to announce the news" successfully changed the Duke's wife's expression.
It's over, this is not a bed-climbing maid.
