She is not a traditional Xia Dynasty woman and will not stick to one man.
Moreover, Jiang Yunqing is very filial, so as long as Old Madam Jiang stands between them, she and Jiang Yunqing cannot be together without worries.
The room where Zhu Xianyue rested was the best in the general's mansion except for the one owned by Old Madam Jiang.
The furnishings and supplies inside were Mu Guidi's dowry, and they were very exquisite.
Sure enough, the world cannot exist without girls.
…
Old Madam Jiang slowly woke up, but didn't like Zhu Xianyue.
Fearing that his mother's health would deteriorate again, Jiang Yunqing didn't dare mention Zhu Xianyue in front of her.
Jiang Yunqing, Old Madam Jiang, and Mu Guidi sat at the same table for dinner.
After dinner, Mu Guidi went back first.
Madam Jiang said earnestly to Jiang Yunqing, "Gui Di loves you deeply. If it weren't for her, your mother would have been tortured to death by your uncles over the years. The Jiang family has only been able to survive to this day thanks to Gui Di's dowry."
"Gui Di is of noble status and shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. Even though you two are engaged, Xia Dynasty law states that if you die in battle, she can find another suitable partner. But she still married into this family because she loves you."
"Over the years, Gui Di has protected an old woman like me and managed the inner chambers, enduring much criticism. She didn't care much when so many people laughed at her for being the youngest widow in the capital... Yun Qing, Gui Di has been waiting for you for so long."
"You should never bring a woman back here to slap her in the face."
"But...but Yue'er is my son's savior. Without her, how could my son be where he is today?"
"You..." Seeing Jiang Yunqing's refusal to budge, Madam Jiang was a little angry, but she issued an ultimatum, "We'll talk about that woman separately. Mother has only one request: you must sleep with Gui Di tonight and don't let her be laughed at again."
Guidi is his wife. If he returns victorious but does not go to her room, Mu Guidi will be embarrassed.
Jiang Yunqing didn't want to agree.
He wanted to save his first time for Yue'er...
But Madam Jiang started coughing violently, which made him feel extremely distressed.
He had no choice but to agree.
…
In the wing room.
The maidservant beside Mu Guicui came to ask for a meeting and brought a gorgeous set of clothes. It was a royal blue floor-length dress, worth a thousand gold coins, and it was also Mu Guicui's most expensive set of clothes.
The maid said, "Madam, feeling sorry for you for your journey, has asked me to wash your dress. Rest assured, young lady, I am a maid specializing in cleaning dresses for noble ladies and will not damage your clothes."
"Thank you..."
However, the floor-length skirt Mu Guiyi sent was too expensive, so Zhu Xianyue asked, "Excuse me, where is the general?"
"The general is drinking with his wife in our courtyard." The maid was a little proud, but after all, she was someone close to Mu Guicui and was brought up by her to follow the rules, so she didn't show it directly.
"Thank you for letting me know."
After the maidservant left, Zhu Xianyue only needed to think about it for a moment before she could guess Mu Guicui's intention.
I'm afraid she wants to take off her dress, not to wash it, but...
But because he felt guilty, he gave Zhu Xianyue a royal blue floor-length dress.
In this way, Zhu Xianyue accepted it with peace of mind.
…
Jiang Yunqing, the powerful general on the battlefield, is always unable to control his own affairs when he returns to the inner house.
It's easy to relieve worries when killing enemies, but when you return home, you can only drink, and not too much.
Fortunately, Mu Guicui did not give him too much advice and poured him some wine, which made him feel very guilty towards Mu Guicui.
People with worries tend to get drunk easily, and Jiang Yunqing soon felt his vision blurred.
