She is not useless.
Concealing her resentment and jealousy, Jiang Yao raised the corners of her mouth and went to meet him.
"Yu Lang~~~"
Her voice was soft and sweet, her face was beautiful, and there was a red flower on her forehead, which made her skin look even whiter than snow. She was as delicate and beautiful as a flower.
At this moment, she leaned against the second gate like a seductive female snake, and Pei Lingyu's bones went limp while the rest of her body hardened.
At first, his sex life with Jiang Yao was harmonious and enjoyable. It was only after he pampered Lianxiang and Lianyu that he realized how pleasurable it could be in bed.
Lianxiang and Lianyu were newly pregnant and it was inconvenient for them to serve him. However, there were two concubines who had grown up with him and served him. Naturally, they were very much to his liking.
However, the color was ultimately inferior, and she was not very open in bed. She was far inferior to Lianxiang and Lianyu, and her appearance was not even three points less than Jiang Yao's.
Moreover, he and Jiang Yao still had feelings for each other.
At this moment, Jiang Yao looked at him with a charming and seductive gaze, making him feel restless, thirsty, and lost in all sorts of thoughts.
"Cough cough."
Pei Lingyu coughed awkwardly twice, turning slightly to the side so she wouldn't notice the change in his lower body.
"What do you want from me!" He acted as if he didn't care.
"Yu Lang~" Jiang Yao gave her personal maid a look, and the maid understood and immediately led the servants to block off several nearby paths so that no one would come to disturb them.
"Yulang, are you still angry with me?"
Seeing her staring at her expectantly, Pei Lingyu remained cold-faced. "How could I dare to be angry with my aunt? My aunt is so powerful. When she gets angry, she doesn't hesitate to beat me. And Lianxiang and Lianyu, she'll make them abort their babies."
His face grew even colder as he spoke of this, and the fire beneath him subsided somewhat.
"Yulang, I was wrong. I...I...I was only doing this for your own good!"
"For my own good? Are you going to kill my child or me for your own good? I don't have a single child!"
"Yulang, you misunderstand! It is precisely because the Earl's family is so small that I value the Earl's offspring even more. I heard that Lianxiang and Lianyu are servants expelled from a prominent family in Jiangnan. They are extremely unruly and constantly seduce the head of the family, which is why the mistress sold them to the capital. Such lowly women have been in our family for only a few days and are already pregnant. What a coincidence! Who knows if this child is yours..."
Pei Lingyu's face immediately darkened. "Don't talk nonsense!"
He knew whether Lianxiang and Lianyu were carrying his child.
However, when Lianxiang and Lianyu served him, she was indeed not a virgin...
He immediately felt a bit uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Pei Lingyu felt his sleeve being tugged and shaken. He looked up and saw Jiang Yao with glistening tears in her eyes, looking at him with a wronged expression, as if she had been bullied. Her eyes evoked pity in him.
"Yulang, I've prepared wine and dishes, would you like to come?"
"Yulang, I was wrong. Please don't be angry. I promise I will never be jealous again. I will treat Lianxiang and Lianyu well and love them like my own sisters."
These words were comforting, but recalling Jiang Yao's earlier words, Pei Lingyu said calmly, "It's good that you know you were wrong, but you don't need to treat them like your own sisters. You are the young mistress of the Earl's Mansion and the most talented woman in the capital. It is their honor to serve you."
I knew it. No man is indifferent to who a woman's first time is with.
Lianxiang and Lianyu, those two shameless women who have lost their chastity, dare to compete with her? They are overestimating themselves!
A smug smile slowly crept onto his lips.
"Alright, it's settled then. I'll have them serve me tea as a concubine tomorrow."
Jiang Yao smiled radiantly, and while speaking, she tugged at Pei Lingyu's sleeve.
"Yulang, when are we going to drink the wine? The food will get cold if we don't drink soon..."
"Let's go now!"
Pei Lingyu waved her hand, her interest piqued, and pulled Jiang Yao by the waist towards her courtyard.
After only a few cups of wine, the couple, who hadn't been intimate in a long time, rolled around together again. In broad daylight, amidst the waves, Jiang Yao's legs were tightly locked around Pei Lingyu's waist.
It's not a big problem; her predicament at the Earl's mansion is only temporary.
She was the legal wife, and her social standing was higher than that of the four lowly women.
She can also make ice with saltpeter.
Ice is so expensive in the summer, and making ice with saltpeter doesn't cost much. She's determined to make a fortune. Then the Marquis's mansion will fawn over her, and she'll even surpass Jiang Shuwan.
besides.
Jiang Shuwan probably has never experienced the feeling of being loved by a man.
whee.
What's the use of earning so much money if you're young and living like a widow, or even living like a widow for two lifetimes?
How delightful!
That was truly exhilarating!
Thinking about all this, Jiang Yao felt incredibly happy and shouted even louder.
Pei Lingyu was startled by her shout.
"Good Yao'er, call out louder, I love to hear it..."
Amidst the rambling conversation, on the other side of the Earl's residence, the Earl's wife was talking to her personal attendant, Granny Li.
"What's wrong with that little bitch Jiang Yao? Why is she suddenly talking about usury?"
"I don't know, could it be that she heard something?"
"She stays at home all day, and all she does is be jealous and envious. She can hear all sorts of rumors."
"Madam, should we continue to invest money? We've already invested 50,000 taels. But recently, I don't know what's going on. It's not winter and we're struggling to make ends meet, but more and more people are borrowing money at exorbitant interest rates, and the rates are 20% higher than before."
"It's increased by another 20%?"
The aunt raised her voice sharply, "The interest rate on the loan is three percent per day, and you get three times the principal back. The interest compoundes every year."
She made a lot of money lending money at exorbitant interest rates, but unexpectedly the interest rates have increased again.
"Then what are you hesitating for? Put another 10,000 taels of silver in... No, you should first go and find out how much money my good sister-in-law, Wen, has lent out. I don't care about that little bitch Jiang Yao at all, but for some reason, I feel a little uneasy when she mentions usury."
The lady was very anxious, feeling vaguely uneasy, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why. When Li Mama returned, she immediately forgot about the unease.
"What!"
"Mrs. Wen has put in nearly 200,000 taels of silver. She's gone mad. Could she have used up all her dowry? She's never put in such a large amount before."
"Madam, do you think Lady Hou is short of money?" Granny Li asked, massaging Lady Hou's legs as she guessed. "When Lady Hou married into the Hou family, she received a dowry of 500,000 taels of silver."
"Last year, the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family, Miss Pei Jing, married into the Liu family. Fearing that Miss Pei Jing would be looked down upon, in addition to the dowry provided by the family, she gave Miss Pei Jing an extra 300,000 taels of silver as a dowry, so that Miss Pei Jing could have a grand wedding."
"Madam is aware of these matters as well. I also heard that some time ago, for some unknown reason, the Lady of the Marquis gave 100,000 taels of silver to the Marquis's public funds. So, the Lady of the Marquis probably only has 200,000 taels of silver in her hands. Now, her second son, Pei Yunzhou, is not young anymore and is looking for a marriage partner."
