Chapter 45: You don’t understand either, my young daughter-in-law is young and naive?
Jiang Youning took a bite of the fried dough stick and answered vaguely, "The general arranged for me to live here."
Before getting married, she and Xie Jing made a request, that is, the yard to live in should be big, and it doesn’t matter if it is a little off the beaten path.
Lingxi Courtyard is big enough, and there is an open space in the back, so they can reclaim land and grow vegetables next spring.
Nan Mianmian didn’t react to what Jiang Youning meant for a while, and just stared at Jiang Youning.
Nan Mianmian glanced around the room and saw the bright red wedding dress on the couch. Only then did she react that Jiang Youning was the general’s wife who was married to the general in a formal ceremony, so Chuntao would appear in the general’s mansion.
Who would have thought that the woman that Shen Tan didn’t want would become the general’s wife?
"What means did you use to seduce the general? How could the general like you?"
Chuntao said angrily, "Third Madam, my daughter is the Madam, how can you be so unreasonable?"
Nan Mianmian looked up and down at Jiang Youning, and saw that she was holding a golden meal in her hand and her mouth was stained with a lot of oil.
She sneered, "Madam? How do you think she looks like a Madam?"
Chuntao was so angry, "Third Madam, it's not your turn to comment on what the Madam looks like."
Jiang Youning took another bite after eating, and laughed instead of being angry: "You don't look like the third madam either."
Nan Mianmian frowned: "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Youning said faintly: "Which third madam dares to be so rude to the Madam?"
Nan Mianmian was choked when she heard this, and she was angry again. Why did the general marry Jiang Youning?
"Don't you like Shen Tanhua? Why do you seduce the general?"
Chuntao retorted, "Madam San, how can you say that? My daughter didn't seduce the general."
Nan Mianmian snorted, "If she didn't seduce, she wouldn't even have the chance to see the general with her status."
Chuntao blushed with anger, "Madam San, if you don't believe me, you can ask the general. I also want to ask the general, can a concubine climb above the general's wife?"
Chuntao has been a maid since she was a child, and she knows too well the suspense between the wife and the concubine. No matter how
favored a concubine is, she is still a long way behind the wife.
Nan Mianmian was stunned when she heard this. No matter how bad Jiang Youning's birth was, she was married to the general and was the general's wife.
No matter how good her family background was, she was still a concubine.
"I feel a little uncomfortable, so I won't disturb Madam for breakfast."
Nan Mianmian made an excuse and left Lingxi Courtyard with her handkerchief.
Chuntao snorted, "Are you scared now?"
After Nan Mianmian came out, she was holding her breath. How did the general marry Jiang Youning?
It must be Jiang Youning who deceived the general and seduced him .
The general didn't know that Jiang Youning was Shen Tanhua's fiancée before
. After knowing it, the general knew that Jiang Youning was deceiving him.
"Xiuhe, let me know as soon as the general comes back. I want to expose Jiang Youning's true identity."
Xiuhe replied, "I know, young lady."
*
After Jiang Youning finished her breakfast, Chuntao reminded her, "Young lady, we should go to serve tea to the old lady."
Jiang Youning only then knew that in ancient times, a new bride had to serve tea to her mother-in-law the next day after entering the house.
Although it was an agreed marriage, there was still something to be done.
"Let's go now."
Jiang Youning came to Jingyouyuan accompanied by Chuntao.
Mother Rong looked Jiang Youning up and down for a few times before speaking, "Madam, please wait here first."
Jiang Youning said, "Sorry, Mother Rong."
Mother Rong went in and came out soon after, "Madam, come in."
Jiang Youning nodded and followed Mother Rong in.
As soon as she stepped into the house, she smelled a faint sandalwood scent. The old lady was sitting on the couch reading a book. When she saw her coming, she raised her eyes and looked over.
Jiang Youning saw the old lady's face clearly, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes. She thought the old lady would be an elderly woman, but she didn't expect her to be an elegant and beautiful woman.
The maid prepared the mat and brought a cup of hot tea.
Jiang Youning knelt on the mat, picked up the teacup and offered it with both hands, "Mother, please have some tea."
The old lady took the teacup from Jiang Youning's hand, lowered her eyes and looked at her for a few times, wanting to see what kind of woman her son likes?
The small face, the size of a palm, has very delicate features, skin as white as snow, and looks like a porcelain doll.
Jing'er likes such a woman?
"How old are you this year?"
Jiang Youning said, "Mother, I'm fourteen years old."
The old lady asked again, "Have you had your first period?"
Jiang Youning replied honestly, "Not yet."
The old lady frowned. It hasn't come yet, and Jing'er slept with her last night?
Silence for a long time
Jiang Youning knelt and did not dare to move. She did not know why the old lady asked these questions. Xie Jing had never asked them.
In fact, since she met Xie Jing, Xie Jing had asked her what her name was, which family she was from, and her age.
The old lady took a sip of tea and put it down, picked up the red envelope and handed it to her.
"Leave."
Jiang Youning took the red envelope and said softly, "Thank you for the red envelope, daughter-in-law, leave."
She stood up and walked out with Chuntao.
The old lady said, "Rong Madam, wait for Jing'er to come back, please ask him to come over."
Rong Madam replied, "I'll remember it."
When Xie Jing came back, it was already time to light the lamps. As soon as he stepped into the general's mansion, the housekeeper came to greet him.
"General, the old lady wants you to come over."
Xie Jing asked, "Did the old lady say anything?"
The housekeeper said, "No."
Xie Jing went straight to Jingyouyuan.
The old lady had just finished dinner and was drinking tea.
Xie Jing walked in with a grand step, "Mother."
The old lady always knew that her son was very busy as a general, and wondered why he came back so late.
"Sit down and talk first."
"Yes." Xie Jing sat down on the chair.
The old lady put down the teacup in her hand, and then she looked at him, "Did you have sex with her last night?"
Xie Jing didn't expect to ask this, he nodded, "Yes."
The old lady asked again, "Then do you know that she hasn't had her first period yet?"
Xie Jing was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at the old lady, and saw that the old lady was staring at him.
"My son doesn't know."
The old lady was furious, "Why don't you ask?"
It's not good for a girl to have sex before her first period. Jing'er is very involved in military affairs, so why doesn't he pay attention to this?
Xie Jing said, "Son, I forgot."
"How could you forget? She was young and ignorant, and you are still ignorant at your age?" The old lady held back her swearing and said, "Don't go to her room tonight, go to the other two ladies' rooms."
Xie Jing said, "Son, you know your limits."
The old lady snorted. How can you know your limits? A man has just got married and has a beautiful woman in his arms, how can he hold back?
It's best to live separately.
"You've been busy all day, go to bed early, I'll let Huilan go to your room."
Xie Jing stood up, looked at the old lady and said, "Mom, don't worry about this. The old lady
knew her son's temper too well. She called him, "You are not a child anymore. People have several children your age. I also want to have a grandson soon."
Xie Jing paused and looked back at the old lady. Seeing the expectation in her eyes, he pursed his lips.
"Mom, this can't be rushed."
