Chapter 65: Cold War Day 2
Mrs. Wang's words were indeed spoken from the bottom of her heart for the sake of her niece, but Jiang Xinyu just chuckled.
"Aunt, it has nothing to do with Xiao Yuan that men are unreliable. He is not a man."
Good fellow, as soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang felt that her eyes went dark, and she covered Jiang Xinyu's mouth without caring about being polite.
"My son, don't say that. You are going to scare your aunt to death!"
Jiang Xinyu took the opportunity to hug Mrs. Wang's waist and rubbed it, blinking her big eyes to indicate that she would not say anything more.
Mrs. Wang then let go of her hand, tapped her forehead and sighed heavily.
"You have the exact same personality as your mother, with so many weird ideas and so much courage."
Jiang Xinyu held Mrs. Wang's arm affectionately and acted coquettishly.
"Yu'er knows that my aunt loves me, so don't worry, I'm doing well."
Mrs. Wang relaxed a little after Jiang Xinyu's behavior, and the feeling of alienation from her niece after not seeing her for a long time also faded a lot.
"While no one is around, tell me what's going on.
Shouldn't you marry into the Ningguo Mansion?
How did you marry... Governor Xiao?"
Jiang Xinyu did not hide anything and told everything she had overheard about Liu and Jiang Huai's plans and Zhao Chengye's affair with Jiang Wanqiu.
Then he sighed with a look of grievance.
"There are wolves in front and tigers behind, Yu'er is really at a loss.
It is said that one should obey his father at home and obey his husband after marriage.
But my father and husband both want me to die, so I have to find a way to survive.
It just so happened that Li Mingyue next door and I had the same wedding date, and knowing that she was unwilling to marry a eunuch, I came up with the idea of using someone else as a substitute.
I didn't know what kind of temper Xiao Yuan had at that time, but I chose the lesser of two evils.
If I enter the Ningguo Duke's Mansion, I will definitely die. If I enter another family, I may still have a chance of survival.
Aunt, you don't know how hateful the Ningguo family is. From the Duke's wife to Zhao Chengye's sister, none of them are good.
He looked down on my status but cared about my money, and he made me feel irritated before I even entered the door.
Yu'er was determined to fight to the death at the beginning, so she told Mrs. Li about her idea through Li Mingyue.
I had no one to use, but Mrs. Li did, and after some arrangements, she actually got it done.
Xiao Yuan also made the matter clear to the Emperor, and the marriage between the two families became a done deal."
Mrs. Wang felt a pang of pain in her heart when she heard this, and she hugged Jiang Xinyu and started crying.
The information I had heard in the past was that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was rich and powerful, wearing gold and silver jewelry and was arrogant and domineering. I never thought that Yu'er was living in such a precarious situation.
How dare that beast Jiang Huai do that? He supported his entire family with his sister's dowry, yet he dared to treat her only daughter so harshly. How could there be such a black-hearted person in the world?
Jiang Xinyu saw that Madam Wang was sad and hurried to wipe her tears.
"Aunt, please don't cry. Isn't Yu'er fine?
Even though Jiang Huai plotted against me, I had a pretty good life in the Jiang family before. For the sake of their reputation and my mother's money, they didn't dare to be too harsh on me.
Besides, I'm not someone you can easily mess with. When I returned home, I even took out 100,000 taels of silver from Mrs. Liu.
I guess she doesn’t have much left, and Jiang Wanqiu’s dowry may not be settled in the future.
Don't worry, aunt. I will avenge my grievances and take revenge. No matter whether it is the Jiang family or Zhao Chengye, I will not let them go.
I'm telling you a joke. In order to ensure that Li Mingyue could marry Zhao Chengye, Mrs. Li asked Chunhong to drug her.
That girl was also very cruel. She put the whole packet of medicine in and almost killed Zhao Chengye.
The imperial physician said that the baby must be kept for a year or so before having sex, otherwise not only would it affect the birth of children but it would also affect the length of one’s life.
When Xiao Yuan accompanied me to ask for the dowry, the family was in chaos. They were so angry when they saw the boxes of dowry being carried out.
This time they failed to gain anything and lost the rice. They don't even know whether Zhao Chengye and Jiang Wanqiu will still be together.
Li Mingyue is not like me who doesn't have the support of her mother's family.
They are making some noise.”
Mrs. Wang smiled as she looked at her cunning and cheerful niece, but she frowned again when she thought that Governor Xiao would not have a good time either.
"Although they did get some revenge, your life was delayed.
Tell your aunt the truth, how well does Governor Xiao treat you?
Did he…did he…”
After all, Mrs. Wang was not Jiang Xinyu's biological mother, so she hesitated for a long time before asking about that matter.
Jiang Xinyu seemed to have guessed what her aunt was going to say, and she couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Xiao Yuan's expression.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Although that bastard has a bad temper, he's still nice to me.
When he gets angry, he just smashes the teacup and the door, but never hits me.
I just get angry too easily. When I came back home yesterday, I ran away angry for some reason.
I know what you want to ask. There is nothing that cannot be said between us in private.
We haven't slept together yet, but I think he doesn't like to torture people in bed like other eunuchs.
Although Xiao Yuan is quite old, he is very innocent and blushes easily.
As soon as I told him to stay overnight, he ran away faster than a rabbit."
Mrs. Wang held her chest for a long time without coming back to her senses. What kind of lewd words did her niece say? As a girl, what was her modesty?
The Jianghuai Liu couple were so cruel that they deliberately raised her niece to be like this.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's face looking like she was struck by lightning, Jiang Xinyu waved her hand.
Oh no, I was talking too excitedly and forgot about the tolerance of ancient people. I wonder if my aunt will be scared to death.
Mrs. Wang was indeed a little frightened, but she wanted to use the limited time to correct her niece's values.
But after organizing her words for a long time, she found that there seemed to be nothing to say.
Yu'er is already married, so the most important thing to teach her now is how to gain a firm foothold in her husband's family.
But the current situation is:
There are no parents-in-law in Yu'er who need to visit them morning and night.
There is no intrigue among sisters-in-law to compete for resources.
There are no younger sisters-in-law or brothers-in-law to cause trouble.
Her theory of survival in the mansion seems...totally useless.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt a little jealous.
Yu'er's marriage seems to be good in all aspects except for her aunt.
The fact that she doesn't have to worry about her mother-in-law makes her better than more than 80% of the daughters-in-law in Dajin. If she doesn't have troublesome sisters-in-law and younger sisters-in-law, she's half the winner again.
As for how to get along with your husband...
Mrs. Wang wanted to teach her, but Yu'er's husband was different from others.
The methods that ordinary women use to please their husbands may not work on eunuchs.
How can I teach her something she doesn't even know?
After pondering for a long time, Mrs. Wang felt helpless.
Just live a good life, maybe Governor Xiao likes Yu'er like this.
The scenery of the Governor's Mansion is still nice. No matter how much Xiao Yuan's identity is despised, it is true that he has power and money.
Jiang Xinyu sat with Mrs. Wang in the house for a while and then took her to visit the garden. She also asked someone to bring the newly made mahjong to the pavilion, saying that she wanted to play a few rounds with her aunt.
Her aunt gave her a lot of money for her wedding, and Jiang Xinyu wanted to return the favor.
Mahjong is easy to learn and fun, so it is bound to become popular. If Qianjia Store works overtime to make it, it will surely make a fortune.
Mrs. Wang is worthy of being the mistress of the Qian family. As soon as she saw the mahjong game and asked about the rules, she immediately felt that this was a big business opportunity.
But she refused to take it for free, and the mother and daughter bargained for a long time before Jiang Xinyu reluctantly accepted the 30% interest.
A total of three sets of mahjong were made today. Jiang Xinyu kept one set to play with in the mansion, and the other two sets and the two craftsmen were packed up and taken away by Mrs. Wang.
There was no intellectual property right at that time, and mahjong was not technically difficult and was very easy to copy.
The news must not be leaked until the company's products occupy most of the market.
It must be foolproof.
Jiang Xinyu didn't understand all this, so she told the butler to take care of the craftsmen's affairs.
Don't be scared if two old men are suddenly placed under house arrest at such an old age.
Having earned this money, Mrs. Wang no longer had to stay here any longer. She wouldn't be returning to Jiangnan for a while anyway, so she would come to see her niece after she had finished her mahjong business.
After Mrs. Wang left, Jiang Xinyu continued to play mahjong with July and the others. Then she ate, washed up, and went to bed. In her dream, she even won a big three yuan.
By the time Governor Xiao returned from Dongchang under a sky full of stars, the lights in Jiang Xinyu's yard had already been turned off.
After hearing about his wife's activities for the day, Governor Xiao was so angry that he smashed the teacup. This heartless guy is so heartless.
He is completely left alone!
