Chapter 858 Shouldering 2 Rooms 2
There wasn't any trouble during the tea-serving session. After all, Jiang Chunxi had just married into the family, so even if she wanted to tease him, there was no need to rush at this moment, right?
The concubines of the second house left after receiving the greeting gifts from Jiang Chunxi. After they left, the old lady sitting in the main seat said, "Since you have married into the Yongzhong Marquis's Mansion, you should be filial to your elders in the future."
As she spoke, the old lady looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Your mother-in-law lost her husband and her son. Although she has a nephew, Zhihao, who is like a half-son to her, she still needs you, her daughter-in-law, to be more filial to her."
"My granddaughter-in-law knows." Jiang Chunxi said respectfully:
"Sister-in-law, why aren't you talking?" This was the voice of Yan Zhihao's mother, Second Madam Liu. "You haven't said a word since you came in. And you look so bad. Did you not sleep well last night?"
As she spoke, Liu's voice choked up slightly: "Did Zhihao marrying Jiang yesterday remind me of Zhifei again, and I cried and couldn't sleep last night?"
Zhifei is the former prince, and the person the original owner was supposed to marry.
"Alas!" This is Yan Zhihao's father, the current Marquis of Yongzhong. "Sister-in-law, the dead cannot be resurrected. Brother and Zhifei have been dead for a year. It's time for you to get over the grief. Now Jiang has come into the family. When Jiang gives birth to a child, you can also enjoy the company of your grandchildren."
In the original owner's previous life, because of what the couple said, the eldest lady Liu looked at the original owner with hatred. Then when the original owner followed Mrs. Wu back to her courtyard, she began to torture the original owner and made the original owner serve her in her courtyard for the whole day. Not to mention eating, she didn't even let the original owner drink a sip of water, which made the original owner almost fainted.
After all, as a pampered young lady, the original owner had never suffered such a hardship since she was a child!
"Hmm!" Wu responded lightly, then lowered her eyes and said nothing more. Unlike the original owner's previous life, she glared at Jiang Chunxi with hatred.
Liu and Yongzhong Hou looked at each other. Why did they feel that their sister-in-law was a little weird today?
The most important thing is that after hearing what the couple said, my sister-in-law didn’t react at all.
In fact, Mrs. Wu did not determine from the beginning that the original owner had killed her husband and son, but was led by Mrs. Liu intentionally or unintentionally to determine that the original owner was a nemesis.
The reason why Liu did this was naturally to make Wu agree to shoulder the responsibility of two wives. After all, only if Wu hated Jiang Chunxi more and more, would she agree to shoulder the responsibility of two wives and could not wait to marry Jiang Chunxi into the family so as to vent her hatred.
Therefore, at this time, Wu was still unclear about the real intentions of the Liu couple, and her torture of the original owner was simply to vent her hatred.
It was not until the original owner became pregnant and came to pay her respects to the old lady that she accidentally overheard the conversation between Liu and the old lady. Only then did she know that Yan Zhihao had taken on the responsibility of marrying Jiang Chunxi from two families, and that the real purpose of the Yongzhong Marquis's Mansion was the Jiang family's huge dowry.
"Alas!" This was the old lady's sigh, "My dear, how can the eldest brother and Zhifei feel at ease underground if you always do this?"
As she spoke, the old lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "It makes me, your mother-in-law, feel bad when I see you always look so depressed."
"I'm sorry to have worried mother," Mrs. Wu raised her eyelids and looked at the old lady, her eyes also red, "I also want to get out of the grief as soon as possible, but...but..."
Mrs. Wu originally wanted to tell Jiang Chunxi about the dream she had last night, but when she glanced at Jiang Chunxi standing beside her, she swallowed her words.
Her husband and son were killed by this nemesis. If Jiang Chunxi, this nemesis, knew about the nightmare she had last night, wouldn't it be a good thing for this bitch, and she would feel at ease.
Mrs. Wu had already made up her mind that after Jiang Chunxi came into the house, she would use the title of nemesis to torture her, making her bear the guilt and torture her both physically and mentally.
"Mother, how about I go back with you first!" Jiang Chunxi said, "I think you didn't sleep well last night. How about I go back with you and have a good sleep?"
"Humph!" Wu sneered at Jiang Chunxi, "You are really filial. In that case, then you should go back with me first!"
As she spoke, Wu looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, I will take my leave now. I will come to pay my respects to you tomorrow."
"Go!" After the old lady finished speaking, Jiang Chunxi stepped forward and helped Wu stand up from the chair, and then left with Wu.
"Zhihao is really a rude kid," the old lady said after Wu and Jiang Chunxi left. "He knew the purpose of marrying Jiang, but what did he do? On the wedding night, he actually left Jiang in the bridal chamber and slept in the front yard."
"Fortunately, Jiang didn't make a fuss, otherwise..."
"Mother, your worries are really overblown," Liu smiled and said, "Jiang is a daughter of a merchant family, how dare she make trouble? Even if she dares to make trouble, the question is, will the Jiang family stand up for her?"
"You should know that the Jiang family's marriage to our Yongzhong Marquis Mansion is a great honor for the Jiang family. They are already busy supporting our Yongzhong Marquis Mansion, so how could they possibly go against our Yongzhong Marquis Mansion for their daughter?"
"That's right," Yongzhong Hou agreed. "The Jiang family gave half of their property to let Jiang marry into the Yongzhong Hou Mansion, not to make things difficult for the Yongzhong Hou Mansion. As long as the surface work is acceptable, the Jiang family will not care how their daughter lives in our Yongzhong Hou Mansion. So even if the Jiang family knew that Zhihao didn't enter the bridal chamber last night, they wouldn't dare to say a word."
"Mrs. Jiang should also be aware of this reason, which is why she didn't dare to say anything just now," said Marquis Yongzhong with a look of disdain, "Humph! Mrs. Jiang is quite sensible, otherwise, she would have suffered a lot just now."
"That being said, Zhihao still has to quickly consummate his marriage with Jiang and have a child with her as soon as possible, lest the plan be delayed for too long and something unexpected happens." The old lady said:
Although the Yongzhong Marquis's Mansion was large and powerful, the expenses of this family were also high! Although it was not to the point where the income was not enough to cover the expenses, the situation was not much better, otherwise they would not be unwilling to watch half of the Jiang family's property slip away, so they came up with the idea of letting Yan Zhihao take charge of both houses.
"Alas!" Liu sighed, "We have already forced Zhihao to marry Jiang and put his children in trouble enough. Now, we can't force his children anymore."
