Chapter 99 Be open-minded
Being incompetent in his position, Governor Xiao had to get up and go to work no matter how lazy he was.
Even the emperor cannot resign without reason, let alone him. Power is the foundation of his livelihood and he cannot let it go.
Marrying his wife was already unfair enough. He couldn't give her children, so he could only compensate her with money and power.
As long as his wife liked the dragon liver and pheasant marrow, he would get them. As long as his wife was angry, he would do his best to kill the person.
In the past, he desired power in order to live a dignified life, but now he desires power even more in order to make his wife happy.
Xiao Yuan left the yard more than half an hour later than usual, and specifically instructed the maids not to wake up the lady today.
The maids were very honest in front of Xiao Yuan and no one dared to ask too many questions. They just waited until the governor left before discussing in whispers.
The blush and smile on the governor's face when he said that his wife was tired looked so strange. Except for the ignorant September, the other three had already thought about sex.
However, Chun Xing's knowledge is still far behind that of July and Xiaodie. If July hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to break into the room to take a look.
Isn't it true that the governor...
How did her daughter get so tired? She was not injured to the point of being unable to get up.
Two days before the girl returned home, she was beaten and locked up in the woodshed. The old woman guarding the gate of the Jiang family said at the door that the girl was useless and probably would not live to return home.
Eunuchs are inhumane and know how to torture people. They say they are having sex, but in fact they are just beating people until their skin is torn and listening to the women screaming in pain to satisfy their perverted hobbies.
She was in despair at that time, but she didn't expect that the girl actually rescued her from the Jiang family.
Seeing that the governor was so nice to the girl these days, she thought the old women were just talking nonsense, but today she was not sure anymore.
If a girl has to endure such torture while she is favored, how can she survive when she loses favor?
If that was true, she even wanted to encourage the girl to run away with her.
After Aunt Qian left the capital, they quietly ran to Jiangnan. Governor Xiao, who was in a long and remote area, might not go to great lengths to capture them.
As for any anger, just vent it on the Jiang family. After all, they are your mother's family, and that's what they deserve.
The scary thing is that the girl can’t bear to leave her aunt.
This girl in their family is simply a love-brained person. When she was obsessed with Zhao Chengye, she was as blind and stupid as if she was under a spell.
Later, he suddenly became wise and sober. She thought the girl had changed for the better, but it turned out that he just became a confused person.
I really don't know what's so good about that fierce old eunuch. She looks like a cold and poisonous snake.
But her daughter loved him so much that she handed all her property to him while she just ate and slept like an idiot every day.
Thinking of this, Chun Xing couldn't help but feel depressed. None of the dowries from the Jiang family were reliable.
Her daughter doesn't have a close friend, so what if the dowry is not handed over to someone else?
Not to mention what's happening outside, even three of the four maids around her are other people's people.
July has a plan, September is clever, Xiaodie knows martial arts, so he thinks to himself that the girl is still a waste.
If the young lady was really bullied, it would be difficult for the master and servant to escape from the Governor's Mansion.
Chun Xing was too lazy to get close to the three of them, so she sat on the steps, listening to what was happening in the house and letting her mind wander.
She even thought that if the girl was wronged, she should secretly ask her aunt to help her find a few more maids who knew martial arts.
It's one thing not to have to run, but it's terrible if you can't run when you need to.
Unexpectedly, a living person couldn't help but think about it. Chun Xing had just thought of her aunt when someone came to report that Mrs. Wang had come to visit.
Because he was a real relative, the maid led him directly into the yard.
July and September looked at each other and lit candles for their wives. Now, the elders were caught in the trap.
With this aunt's fighting ability, the lady will probably be nagged again.
Sure enough, Mrs. Wang frowned when she heard that her niece was still sleeping.
"It's already past noon. Why is she still sleeping? Did she sleep till this late in the past?"
Qiyue bowed awkwardly, "Madam is the most senior in our mansion and doesn't need to greet anyone, so... the governor ordered that Madam should sleep until she wakes up naturally."
Madam, it is hard to say that July turned her eyes to Chun Xing.
"What time did the rain start yesterday?"
Chun Xing's eyes suddenly changed to an awkward smile. She was about to defend her daughter against Madam Wang but she waved her hand.
"Alright, there's no need to talk about it anymore. I don't think it will be too early.
If you don't persuade her, who's the wife of the house who sleeps till noon?
Fortunately, I am the one who came today. If she had been blocked by other guests, she would have lost face."
There was really nothing they could do to respond to this, so the maids could only smile and invite Mrs. Wang to the flower hall for tea.
Mrs. Wang shook her head helplessly, but she couldn't really lift her niece's quilt, so she could only tell a few maids and go to Liu Xu's yard.
In fact, she came here this morning not only to see her niece, but mainly to chat with Zhang Yu.
Yu'er's idea is quite good.
Governor Xiao has great powers, so if he is willing to help conceal my identity, it will not be a problem.
But after all, this is Zhang Yu's business, and she also wants to ask the child what he thinks.
In addition, the inside story of Zhang Yu being abducted that Yu'er mentioned must also be told to the child.
After she returned yesterday, she had someone rush to deliver a letter to her cousin. In addition to telling her about the discovery of her nephew, she also told her Yu'er's guess and told her to catch the traitor in the family first before plotting anything else.
It's uncertain how long it will take, and she is also afraid that Yuer will think too much and that his family doesn't want to recognize him.
Liu Xu woke up early, but she looked haggard and had dark circles under her eyes, and it was obvious that she didn't get enough rest.
Knowing that the old lady was his cousin, he did not dare to call her. His reserved and awkward look made Mrs. Wang feel distressed.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wang was eloquent and had a clever tongue. She knew what the child was worried about and counseled her carefully. Finally, she coaxed Liu Xu into relaxing a little.
Jiang Xinyu slept very soundly this time. It was almost noon when she woke up. When she heard that her aunt had been here for a long time, she burst into wail.
Oh my god, I’m going to be nagged again soon.
Chun Xing saw her daughter jumping around in high spirits and realized that she had been worrying too much, so she quickly helped her daughter wash and comb her hair.
Jiang Xinyu now feels like getting married sooner rather than later.
After quickly brushing her teeth and washing her face, she sat in front of the mirror, letting Chun Xing comb her hair into a bun while she quickly put on makeup.
She had a good foundation so it didn't take her too much trouble. She packed up in less than a cup of tea and rushed to the guest house.
July only felt a gust of wind blowing past him, and only one sentence came in the air: "Put the meal in the guest house."
Jiang Xinyu had a good idea.
When there are outsiders around, her aunt will give her some face. After dinner, when they chat, I guess her aunt won't remember to mention her anymore.
Jiang Xinyu's sudden arrival made Liu Xu at a loss as to how to face her. Her face turned red and white, and she didn't even dare to raise her head.
Jiang Xinyu was quite outgoing. The word "cousin Yu" scared Liu Xu so much that she waved her hands and said she didn't dare.
Thinking about what he did yesterday, Liu Xu really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. The feeling of collapse and embarrassment was even more painful than the first time he received a customer.
Mrs. Wang was speechless when she saw her noisy niece and her cousin who was just a little shocked. She pinched Jiang Xinyu's ears and wanted to take her out.
Yu'er finally calmed down. What is this girl doing here? Isn't this just rubbing cumin into someone's wound?
There is no difference between being embarrassed in front of strangers and being embarrassed in front of one's own relatives. Thinking of their conversation yesterday, Mrs. Wang felt embarrassed for them.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xinyu didn't take the matter seriously at all and dodged her aunt's iron hand and slapped Liu Xu on the shoulder.
"Young man, life is like rape. When you can't resist, you have to learn to enjoy it.
There is really no need to be too normal in life. Just be true to yourself and leave the rest to retribution.
Everything has two sides, it all depends on how you think about it.
You've been a prostitute, so what's the big deal? It's just that more people have slept with you.
This is nothing.
The emperor has three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, and some of them also have male favorites. The number of people he has slept with is no less than you.
He can be complacent. What's there for you to worry about?
Do you think the emperor sleeps with the people he wants to sleep with?
Forget it. Whenever any concubine's family made a contribution, he would symbolically sleep with them to show his appreciation, but he was still unwilling to do so.
You sleep with someone for money and the emperor sleeps with someone for power. Neither of you is nobler than the other.
How is it? Do you feel better?
Let me tell you another story about how Murong Chong went from being a male favorite to becoming the ruler of a country. It’s really exciting!”
Willow catkins: ...(_)
Mrs. Wang: (_)
Maid: Call the doctor, the lady is seriously ill!
