Chapter 1193 The Sickly Child Who Was Schemed Against 7
"Your daughter-in-law greets Mother Consort," Jiang Chunxi said with a smile as she arrived at Consort Cheng's place. "Mother Consort, you didn't sleep well last night. Your eyes are all dark circles. It seems you didn't get any rest at all last night."
Princess Cheng…
After what happened yesterday, it would be strange if she could sleep well.
"I had a bit of a headache last night and didn't sleep much," Princess Cheng said with a weak smile. "But you look much better today. You must have had a good rest last night."
“My daughter-in-law slept quite well last night,” Jiang Chunxi said with a smile. “Not only did she sleep well, but she also had a sweet dream. She dreamed that the maid Taoxiang was pregnant and gave birth to the eldest son for the young master.”
“Mother, Tao Xiang is one of the three maids that I brought from my maiden home to serve the young master. She was the one who served the young master last night.”
"Oh! By the way, Mother, didn't you say yesterday that you would have those two maids in your courtyard serve the young master? When I go back later, I'll take them with me, so that you won't forget to send them to me again."
"Also, I would like to ask Mother Consort to find a few more maids who are good at bearing children to serve the young master. I have thought about it and I think there are still too few people to serve the young master. Therefore, it would be better to find more maids to serve the young master. What do you think?"
What could Princess Cheng say? She could only smile and nod in agreement.
This should be a good thing! Princess Cheng should be happy that Jiang Chunxi is so virtuous, after all, continuing the family line is the most important thing for Prince Cheng's mansion, and she can't wait for her son to have many offspring.
But for some reason, seeing Jiang Chunxi so eager to force women into her son's life, Princess Cheng felt uneasy.
I always felt that her son was just a tool for having children for Jiang Chunxi.
Jiang Chunxi stayed with Princess Cheng for a while longer before leaving, taking the two maids with her.
"Tell me, in the eyes of the Jiang family, has my son become nothing more than a tool for childbirth?" Princess Cheng said to her trusted nanny, Granny Jin, after Jiang Chunxi left. "Hehe! She is truly virtuous! I doubt you can find another one like her in the entire capital!"
“Your Highness, isn’t this a good thing?” said Granny Jin. “No matter what the Crown Princess thinks, she’s doing this so that the Crown Prince can have many children. It’s better than her being jealous and refusing to let the Crown Prince take a concubine.”
"My heart still pounds whenever I think of what the young master said yesterday about one love for one lifetime! It's fortunate that the young master's wife isn't confused, otherwise, what would have happened if the young master had been allowed to act recklessly!"
“That’s true,” Princess Cheng’s face darkened. “Luckily, Madam Jiang isn’t brainless. Otherwise, if we had let that scoundrel Wang Yi, Zhen De, run wild, I would have been furious.”
"However, I still don't believe that this bastard really loves the Chiang family that much. I guess he's plotting something. But if he doesn't say anything, I can't figure out what he's up to no matter how hard I try."
"Sigh! Sons are no longer under their mother's control when they grow up," Princess Cheng rubbed her temples. "These sons are just not as considerate as daughters. Now that they're grown up, they don't want to discuss their plans with their own mothers. They're very opinionated."
"The young master is still very filial to you," Granny Jin said dryly.
"Alright, stop defending that scoundrel," Princess Cheng glared at Granny Jin. "I don't expect him to be particularly filial to me. I just want him to stop doing anything outrageous to upset me."
Princess Cheng's brows furrowed tightly, her head throbbing even more: "The household expenses are almost unsustainable. We were hoping that after Madam Jiang entered the household, we could hand over the management of the household affairs to her and let her use her dowry to make up for the deficit, but we never expected..."
Granny Jin was at a loss for words.
In her opinion, it was clearly the princess who was too impatient. How could a new bride be handed over to the household management so hastily as soon as she entered the house? Besides, the crown princess had fainted during the wedding ceremony.
Under such circumstances, if the Crown Princess had actually taken over the reins yesterday, what would outsiders say about her if word got out?
When Jiang Chunxi brought the two maids back to her own courtyard, she immediately ordered people to arrange a courtyard for them to live in, and even made them her concubines.
Of course, the same was true for Tao Xiang and the other two maids. They were all given courtyards to live in and were given the status of concubines. Someone was also sent to tell Song Zhende that he did not need to come to the main courtyard tonight and could go directly to the concubines' quarters.
The messenger also said that this was all for the sake of the Prince Cheng's offspring, and that Song Zhende should not let down Jiang Chunxi's painstaking arrangements. He should make more efforts with his concubines and not worry about neglecting his new wife.
Not only that, Jiang Chunxi also sent people out to spread the word.
As for what to promote, it was naturally to promote how virtuous she was, and how she had already arranged for her husband to take in several concubines as soon as she entered the household.
"Bang!" As soon as the maid who was delivering the message in Jiang Chunxi's courtyard left, Song Zhende threw the inkstone on his desk hard onto the ground.
Frustrated and furious, Song Zhende felt like he was about to explode with rage, but there was nothing he could do except rage in his own powerless state. He even had to obediently follow Jiang Chunxi's instructions and do his best to fulfill the duties of a stud pig.
"How could this be? It shouldn't be like this!" Song Zhende muttered to himself. "That bitch Jiang Chunxi should be completely under his control, but why doesn't she obediently follow the trap he set for her?"
As night fell, Song Zhende did not come to Jiang Chunxi's courtyard as expected, but went to Taoxiang's courtyard, intending to continue venting his anger on Taoxiang.
As for Liu Meier, she had worked all day without eating anything, not to mention her injuries all over her body. So at this moment, Liu Meier's body was so weak that she fainted.
"She fainted," Jiang Chunxi said, looking away from the ledger in her hand. "It seems that her pampered body is no good! She can't even withstand such a little bit of rubbing."
"Alright, let's go find a doctor to take a look! After all, I, the Crown Princess, haven't had enough fun yet. Of course, I can't let that despicable couple be separated by death. If that wretched maid Liu Meier doesn't make it and dies, that won't be fun at all."
"This servant will send someone to fetch a doctor right away," it was Caiyu's voice, "and while we're at it, let's also check on that wretched maid Mei'er. After all, the young master had Taoxiang serve him again tonight, we have to let that wretched maid Mei'er know, don't we?"
"Go ahead!" Jiang Chunxi said to Caiyu with amusement, "I didn't expect you, you little brat, to be so cunning."
"Isn't this what I learned from the Crown Princess? Why is the Crown Princess laughing at me?" Caiyu stamped her foot, then turned and walked out.
