Chapter 115 Some are happy and some are sad
After tossing and turning most of the night, Jiang Xinyu unsurprisingly slept in again the next day.
However, this time in July, I didn't dare let my wife sleep until noon again.
Guests arrived at the manor, and after leaving the ladies waiting for an hour, July finally couldn't resist going to ask for an answer.
The six ladies all came with their own daughters and generous gifts, so whether or not to see her, a mere maid, was not up to them.
In July, when she went in to wake the madam, Chunxing pouted in dissatisfaction.
"What's the point of asking? Since those people came at an inopportune time, let them come again next time."
"She saw it herself; the sheets were torn to shreds, three layers were ruined. My daughter must have been exhausted last night. She has absolutely no sense of compassion."
September blushed and scolded, "You're so shameless! You're so shameless! How can you talk such nonsense? You're such a young lady, don't you know how to be ashamed?"
Chunxing, however, disagreed. "What's with the pretense? The Chief Supervisor doesn't have any maids. If you were asked to go in and pack your things one day, would you pretend to be shy?"
September stomped her feet in anger, “How can that be the same? It’s a maid’s duty to pack things. How can you talk about your master’s bedroom affairs?”
"Don't blame me for not warning you, don't think you can be presumptuous just because the Chief Eunuch is gentle with the Madam. This isn't the Jiang family home."
Chunxing snorted coldly, unconvinced, "I don't care whose family it is, I just feel sorry for my daughter."
Xiao Die rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Chun Xing, you're overthinking it. The bedsheets were torn up by our supervisor."
"The lady is skilled in using blunt force, while our commander uses Eagle Claw Kung Fu; the marks they left are different."
Very good, as expected, being naturally naive is the ultimate weapon; one sentence silenced both September and Chunxing.
The two of them simultaneously thought of the same question: how exactly did the lady (young lady) manage to make the Grand Eunuch tear the bedsheets to shreds?
Jiang Xinyu was fast asleep, wrapped in her blanket, when it took Qiyue a while to gently call her before she finally opened her eyes groggily.
Hearing that those companies had come to apologize, Jiang Xinyu had no choice but to get up.
Let's meet them. It wouldn't hurt to try and win over the enemy of my enemy.
These are the main forces that will cause trouble for Jiang Wanqiu in the future, so she has to go and brew her a pot of tea.
green tea!
The ladies and young women were left waiting for an hour, feeling both frustrated and uneasy. They guessed that this was the wife of the governor giving them a hard time, and could only silently sulk.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinyu was quite polite when she arrived.
They say that guests rarely come to the house and she loves to sleep in, so it's all the maids' fault for being so stubborn and not waking her up.
After hearing the purpose of their visit, she didn't say anything unpleasant. After the girls bowed and apologized, she smiled and waved her hand, saying it was alright.
But then the tone shifted and she sighed, "Ladies, please don't be too harsh on the sisters. In the end, it was all caused by my troublesome half-sister."
I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you all, but since my mother passed away, my father has never remarried. Everyone in the capital knows that my aunt is the head of the household.
Although Wanqiu was born out of wedlock, she had high aspirations. The young ladies here don't understand the intricacies of the situation, but the ladies are well aware of them.
Sisters, please don't blame me for speaking harshly and not saving face for you. When we were unmarried, it was nothing for us to bicker a little, but things are different now that we're married.
Even if I were willing to back down, I still have to consider my husband's family's reputation, don't I?
Upon hearing this, the ladies immediately agreed, and the maids felt a chill run down their spines.
They knew that Jiang Xinyu had married the head of the Eastern Depot, but they didn't really understand it; they only knew that he was a powerful old eunuch.
It wasn't until yesterday, when he faced Xiao Yuan and the others handling the case, that he realized his mistake. Now, as he comes to apologize with his mother, he feels even more resentful towards Jiang Wanqiu.
With one party sincerely apologizing and the other having no intention of making things difficult, this meeting was quite successful, with both host and guests enjoying themselves.
The gifts from the ladies were quite valuable, and Jiang Xinyu accepted them after feigning reluctance.
This is also an unspoken rule; once the gift is accepted, the matter is considered closed. If she doesn't accept it, some people can't sleep soundly.
However, she didn't accept the gift for nothing. She had July bring out several bolts of smoky silk and gave one bolt to each of the girls.
This kind of fabric comes from the palace and even if you have money, you can't buy it anywhere. But the color is too light, she doesn't like it, and her aunt can't use it either. It's perfect to do her a favor now.
The ladies were naturally overjoyed.
It wasn't for the good material; it was because they clearly felt the kindness of the Lady of the Eunuch towards them.
When they got home, the girls were scolded by their mothers, who basically said they couldn't distinguish right from wrong and didn't know what good and bad people were.
This time, the girls humbly accepted the accusation and swore they would never play with Jiang Wanqiu and Zhao Zhenzhen again.
Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.
Jiang Xinyu's reputation quickly turned around, while Jiang Wanqiu's reputation, on the other hand, became increasingly worse.
Jiang Quan also suffered terribly at the Imperial College, crying and refusing to go back several times.
But Jiang Huai was determined not to indulge him this time, and even when he said he was being bullied, Jiang Huai didn't care.
The Imperial College was a place that countless scholars dreamed of attending. Having finally obtained the opportunity, how could they possibly drop out of school so easily?
As for being bullied, who told you to cause trouble? Just avoid them and go away.
Furthermore, the reason why others only bully you and not others must be because you did something wrong.
Jiang Huai's fatherly love is truly laughable. In the past, he spoiled his son without any principles, but now that it has to come down to practical benefits, even his youngest son has been sidelined.
Jiang Quan cried, begged, and even fell ill, but no matter how many methods he used, his father wouldn't budge an inch.
Even as the students became increasingly outrageous and his injuries multiplied, Jiang Huai simply told him to bear it, saying that as long as he studied well, no one would bully him anymore.
However, amidst the bullying from others, Jiang Quan lived like a frightened bird, unable to concentrate on his studies. His grades plummeted, and he visibly grew increasingly haggard.
Liu was heartbroken and pleaded with Jiang Huai many times, but Jiang Huai was no longer the same as before. After arguing with her once, he even took advantage of a maid in his study.
After Jiang Xinyu took most of the money, the Jiang family struggled to make ends meet. Liu Shi became increasingly stingy, and the servants, without any rewards, became lax and unenthusiastic.
Jiang Wanqiu felt a surge of hatred as she looked at her family, who were experiencing all sorts of misfortunes. It was all Jiang Xinyu's fault; it was because of her mistaken marriage that the Jiang family's life had fallen into chaos.
Her family shouldn't be like this, and she shouldn't be living this kind of life.
She was filled with hatred. Why hadn't that wretched woman married into the Ningguo Duke's mansion as she had hoped?
Why should Jiang Xinyu have a good life? She should be tormented by the Duchess, forced to follow the rules, constantly targeted by Zhao Zhenzhen, and disliked by her brother Chengye.
No matter how much Jiang Wanqiu hated her, she was powerless to do anything but try to please her father, comfort her mother, and console her younger brother.
Jiang Xinyu was in a good mood today. After seeing off the ladies, he continued to eat, drink, exercise, and have fun.
Xiao Yuan was in a good mood, but he flew into a rage after learning some news.
The Eastern Depot was originally established to be the emperor's eyes and ears, with numerous well-informed spies. They were the first to detect any disturbances in the capital.
Xiao Yuan had long known about the perverted hobbies of Xie Lin, the eldest son of the Marquis of Chengyi, and Jin Zecheng, the fifth prince, and even that they were involved in several unsolved cases.
However, in such cases, the officials would not investigate unless the people reported it, and even if a case was discovered, it would first be handled by the Prefect of the Capital.
Xiao Yuan never expected that these two would dare to set their sights on his wife. In an instant, murderous intent surged within him, and his eyes turned somewhat red.
Little Bean knew that his master was prone to losing his mind whenever he got involved with his wife, so he quickly and firmly advised him against it when he saw things were not going well.
Putting everything else aside, at least ask July or Xiaodie what exactly happened yesterday.
Killing one or two princes is not out of the question, but we can't just act immediately after hearing a single piece of news. We need to plan ahead, can we?
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, but the killing intent in his eyes remained. He coldly squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.
"Go and call July and Xiaodie here!"
