Chapter 117 I will feel sorry for my husband. What should a couple do?
The old lady put down the teacup in her hand, and when she looked at Madam Du, she still had a smile on her face: "Madam Du, don't be angry. This is a matter between children. We adults should not interfere."
Madam Du said dissatisfiedly: "How can this be considered a matter between children? Why can't we adults take care of this matter?"
The old lady still smiled: "Madam Du, since Jing'er decided to get married, I have never interfered. Whoever he wants to marry is my daughter-in-law, and the person he wants to marry is naturally the one he loves. It's just that I didn't expect him to marry a wife and a concubine at the same time. Jing'er agreed, and as a mother, I naturally wouldn't say anything. It's not appropriate for you to interfere in their affairs now that I want to marry her."
Madam Du's face looked a little ugly when she heard this. This was clearly saying that if Xie Jing married Jiang Youning, Jiang Youning would be her daughter-in-law, not her Huilan.
"Sister, that's not the case. Huilan is well-educated and well-mannered, and General Cavalry is brave and invincible. The two are a perfect match. If someone didn't interfere, they would be a perfect match made in heaven."
Madam Du said mysteriously, "Sister, you must have heard about Jiang and Shen Tanhua. How could two people who loved each other so much suddenly fall in love with General Cavalry? Am I right, sister?"
The old lady said, "This is a matter between Jing'er and Jiang. If there is really any ulterior motive, Jing'er is a general who has fought on the battlefield. He is not a fool and can tell the difference." Madam Du
knew that the old lady didn't believe it when she heard it, so she could only think of other ways.
"Then Huilan and General of the Cavalry should consummate their marriage, right? Otherwise, if they don't get pregnant for a long time, people outside will laugh at them. My sister doesn't have a daughter, so she doesn't understand the anxiety of a mother."
The old lady: "..."
"As a mother, I know Jing'er's temper, and General Du knows it too. I naturally hope that the marriage will be consummated as soon as possible, and I am also looking forward to becoming a grandmother. But in this matter, my words don't count, and your words don't count. Only Jing'er has the final say. It's the best thing that Huilan can get Jing'er to agree." Mrs.
Du was so angry that her chest felt stuffy. After talking and talking, she didn't want to care.
Finally, she left in anger.
After Mrs. Du left, the old lady took a sip of tea and sighed.
Mother Rong heard this and said, "Old Madam, don't take it personally. Although the general and the second wife have not been able to consummate their marriage, you can't blame the general entirely. Before entering the house, the general said that it was the second wife who insisted on getting married, so the general can't be
blamed." The old lady said, "That's the logic, but it's not the case. Du Huilan, a virgin, married in, but she hasn't consummated her marriage and hasn't had any happiness. She will definitely be criticized by the world."
"And Nan Mianmian..."
Before she finished speaking, the housekeeper came to report, "Old Madam, Madam Nan is here."
The old lady laughed out loud, "Look, there's another one."
Mother Rong was a little helpless.
The old lady said, "Please let her in quickly."
The housekeeper responded and left, and soon led Madam Nan in.
The old lady stood up and greeted with a smile, "Madam Nan, please take a seat."
Madam Nan smiled and shouted, "Sister is so young."
Madam Du and Madam Nan called the old lady "sister" because she was younger than them and because they were both family members of high-ranking officials, calling her "sister" made them feel closer.
The old lady smiled modestly, "Madam Nan, you are joking. What is the matter with you today?"
Madam Nan sighed, "Of course, it's for my daughter."
Madam Nan said, and the old lady just listened.
Hearing the same big talk as Madam Du, they all suspected that they had colluded to come to the general's mansion one after another.
But she also understood Madam Du and Madam Nan. Who doesn't want their children to have a happy marriage and many children?
After sending Madam Nan away, the old lady sighed again. Jing'er is different from other men. If she had a way, she would have solved this problem long ago. Why would she need them to come to her house? After
Jiang Youning finished bathing, she soaked her feet with moxa to get rid of the cold. This was Wen Xianyu's instruction.
But soaking your feet in winter is particularly comfortable.
She looked down at the pure gold anklets on her ankles. They were beautiful. At first, they felt heavy, but she got used to them after wearing them for a long time.
She lifted her two feet and watched the anklets make a slight sound.
I don't know why Xie Jing gave me this?
Xie Jing saw this scene when he lifted the curtain and came in. His eyes looked at the beautiful pair of jade feet, which were still stained with water droplets, like a piece of white jade, without a single flaw.
He strode over.
Jiang Youning was about to wipe her feet with a foot cloth when she saw Xie Jing coming back. It was a little sudden. He had been coming back late in the past two days, and she didn't know whether he stayed overnight or not.
"General, you're back."
"Yeah, I just came back."
Xie Jing walked up to her and squatted down, holding her jade feet with one hand, and took the foot cloth with the other hand, and then wiped the wet jade feet carefully.
Jiang Youning was stunned for a long time when she saw Xie Jing's actions. She was a little unsure what he wanted to do?
Why did he want to wipe her feet?
"General, I can do it myself."
Jiang Youning said as she was about to retract her feet, but Xie Jing held them tightly in his palm and couldn't move.
Xie Jing said, "I'll do it."
Jiang Youning: "..."
[Look at how careful and serious he is. It doesn't seem like he is wiping his toes, but rather his beloved weapon.]
[Because Xie Jing still takes better care of his weapon.]
[You can't say it's his beloved feet, right? That seems so perverted!]
Xie Jing paused while wiping and took another closer look. Because she wore shoes all year round, her feet were whiter than her face.
He raised his head and looked at Jiang Youning. She was complaining, but she was suddenly stared at. She felt guilty. She
almost thought Xie Jing heard what she was thinking, but she didn't look him in the eye.
It must be an illusion caused by her guilty conscience.
Jiang Youning consoled herself.
Xie Jing suddenly asked, "How big are your feet?"
Jiang Youning shook her head, "I don't know. Chuntao has always bought and made shoes for me. I just wear them. Maybe 34 or 35?"
Xie Jing's eyes flashed with doubt, "What did you say?"
Jiang Youning remembered that in ancient times, inches were used instead of yards, "Four or five inches?"
Xie Jing wiped one foot, then lifted up the other foot and continued wiping.
Jiang Youning stared at Xie Jing for a while. It was a bit inappropriate to let a general do the job of wiping feet, right?
"General, you should take a rest first. You are so busy during the day. What if you get tired?"
Xie Jing said, "It's just wiping feet. You won't get tired."
Jiang Youning explained, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was..."
Xie Jing interrupted her directly, "I know what you mean."
Don't you think he will die of exhaustion? If he
can die of exhaustion from wiping feet, is he still a man?
Jiang Youning stared at Xie Jing for a while, and asked uncertainly: "Does the general really understand?"
Xie Jing did not answer but said: "I am just doing what a couple should do."
Jiang Youning was very confused. There was no outsider here, so there was no need to perform the appearance of a loving couple.
She was a little curious, "Do other husbands also wipe their wives' feet?"
Xie Jing paused, raised his head and looked at Jiang Youning, "What does it have to do with me whether others wipe their feet or not?"
Good night, spicy, I can't stand it anymore.
