Chapter 400: Three Women and a Drama
A young eunuch said, "In reply to Steward Li, we have been ordered to take the Qin sisters who are temporarily staying here away and have them move to another place."
After hearing this, Li returned to the main room and replied, "To answer Lady Jiang, it was Consort Qin from the palace. She was originally assigned to stay here to recuperate. But the princess gave this house to you, so there's no reason for them to stay here anymore."
"Qin Cairen? Who is Qin Cairen?" Jiang Xiaomei asked in confusion.
"To answer Lady Jiang, Concubine Qin's name was Qin Xiaomi, and she was the late emperor's woman. She was favored by the emperor and became pregnant with his child, but she seduced him and caused him health problems. If it weren't for her, the emperor would not have died." Li said.
"Qin Xiaomi! Is her sister Qin Baobao?" Jiang Xiaomei asked.
"Yes! I heard that she was the prince's ex-woman, but she was the one who took the initiative to divorce him. The princess knew about it but didn't delve into it." Li said.
"It's them! Call them in! The baby is about to be born, don't let them upset the fetus again." Jiang Xiaomei said.
"Miss, you are kind-hearted. I will ask someone to call them in right away!" After saying this, Li went out and called the young eunuch in.
The young eunuch brought the Qin sisters in. Qin Xiaomi was pregnant, and Qin Baobao supported his sister as they walked in. Qin Baobao's face changed immediately, but he didn't say anything.
Jiang Xiaomei asked Li to take everyone downstairs. Qin Baobao saw that everyone had left and asked, "Why are you here? Zhao Xiaofei is such a jerk."
"You think too much. It was me who discovered his secret and threatened him to bring me here! I came here to make money and have fun!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"People's fates are different. We come here like prisoners, but you are traveling to make a fortune." Qin Baobao said with a wry smile.
"I was the one who gave him the jade pendant! Without me, he wouldn't have achieved his current success!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"It's you! That's what I was talking about!" Qin Baobao said.
"Sister, what do you want to say? Do you still think that she and my brother-in-law are destined to be together and you shouldn't have been with my brother-in-law in the first place?" Qin Xiaomi said, holding her waist and sticking out her belly.
"Then what do you want to say? I let you live here, shouldn't you thank me?" Jiang Xiaomei asked Qin Xiaomi.
"Without your jade pendant, would we be in this situation today?" Qin Xiaomi said.
"Hahahaha! Without the jade pendant, could Zhao Xiaofei have made a fortune? Would your sister be interested in him? Would she be willing to be with him? It's because you are greedy and you sold those national treasures behind his back! You chose your own path, so who can you blame if you played a good hand badly?" Jiang Xiaomei laughed.
"Miss Jiang, you are right. We brought this situation upon ourselves. We can't blame anyone else. Then why did you come here? I believe you came here to make a fortune, but did you come here to have fun? What's there to play here? Do you want to save the Ming Dynasty like Zhao Xiaofei, or change history and dominate the world?" Qin Baobao asked.
"Of course it's the power over the world! How interesting is that! I have the final say on everything, I can kill whomever I want! I can change the law however I want, and I decide the rules of the game. How does that feel? You guys just watch those brainless romance dramas every day, what can you understand?" Jiang Xiaomei said with a sneer.
"You know a lot, but Zhao Xiaofei dumped you even though you know a lot," Qin Xiaomi said.
"Didn't your sister tell you? It was me who dumped Zhao Xiaofei!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"I know, but I heard that you have a disappointing younger brother. If it weren't for him, you and Zhao Xiaofei would have been together a long time ago!" Qin Xiaomi said unconvinced.
"Then have you done your best? If you had done your best, would Zhao Xiaofei have brought you here to escape the disaster?" Jiang Xiaomei said with a smile.
"Xiaomi, stop talking! It's not easy to meet an old friend in a foreign land. I don't want to argue with you. I just want to remind you, don't follow Zhao Xiaofei foolishly anymore! He is not someone you can rely on. He has too many women here." Qin Baobao said.
"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about this. It's impossible for me to be with him again. Even if he doesn't marry anyone here, it's impossible for me. The past is the past. You can consider finding another one in the Ming Dynasty!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"That's good! Let's go back to our room and rest first!" Qin Baobao said and pulled his sister away.
"Sister, don't listen to her. She just came here to show off. If she didn't have that intention, she wouldn't have come here even if she discovered the secret of time travel." Qin Xiaomi said.
"She is different from us. What she said is true. I once asked Zhao Xiaofei what he liked, and he said he liked reading historical stories. But I didn't like it. I asked him what he and Jiang Xiaomei did when they were together. He was reluctant to say at first, but later I insisted that he tell me. He told me that they liked to read history books and listen to historical stories together. At that time, I felt that they were really a perfect match. If Jiang Xiaomei's brother hadn't gotten into trouble and was discovered by Zhao Xiaofei's mother, there would have been no possibility for Zhao Xiaofei and me." Qin Baobao seemed to be recalling the past.
"Sister! Don't be discouraged. Your brother-in-law is yours. He can have as many women as he likes here, but he won't mess around with other women when he goes back there! If I could travel back and forth, if I were a man, I might be the same as him. Human nature is like this and cannot withstand the test! Your brother-in-law has done a good job!" Qin Xiaomi said.
"It's fine if I didn't know, but now that I know, why would I still try to convince myself to pretend I didn't see it? I don't want anything right now. I just want the statute of limitations to be over and I want to go back and see a miracle!" Qin Baobao said. She missed her son so much that she was almost going crazy. No amount of wealth and glory could compare to having her child by her side.
Jiang Xiaomei watched the two sisters leave, her lips curved into an arc. She thought to herself: Two pitiful women! But there must be something hateful about pitiful people. Who can they blame for their greed?
Zhao Xiaokun walked into the capital and the Forbidden City with the agreement signed between Li Hao and him.
This was the second time Li Hao had seen such a magnificent palace. The previous time he came was when the Qing Dynasty was in power.
At that time, the entire capital was shrouded in fear and bloodshed. The capital was also in ruins, but today, he saw through the car window that the capital of the Ming Dynasty had returned to its former order.
The dilapidated city walls and houses have been repaired, and people's faces are full of hope.
It was only when he arrived at the Forbidden City that Li Hao began to truly panic. He feared the Ming rulers would change their minds, kill him, and then send his wife and children far away. If that happened, he would be truly devastated.
