Chapter 433: Concubine of Jingnan Marquis's Mansion 4
Chapter 433: Concubine of Jingnan Marquis's Mansion 4
"No, that concubine Jiang cannot stay," the old lady's expression was full of murderous intent, "otherwise if Jin Yu's feelings for your sister are transferred to that concubine Jiang, there will be endless troubles!"
The old lady knew too well how much her son felt for his previous daughter-in-law, so she did not allow Aunt Jiang to live.
"Mother, Lord Hou is really fond of Concubine Jiang. If we get rid of Concubine Jiang without his knowledge, wouldn't he hate us?" Ding Xinhui said, "Of course, it's okay for Lord Hou to hate me, but I don't want to see mother and Lord Hou quarrel over a concubine."
"So let's not touch Concubine Jiang for the time being. Even if we want to touch Concubine Jiang, we have to wait until Master has grown used to her. As for whether Master Hou will transfer his feelings for his eldest sister to Concubine Jiang, I don't think he will, at least not in the short term."
Ding Xinhui did this for a purpose. Aunt Jiang must be eliminated, and as long as Lord Hou is determined to investigate, he will be able to find her.
Therefore, someone is needed to take the blame. She can just put the blame on her mother-in-law and say that she was just having to follow her mother-in-law's orders. Even if Lord Hou blames her, he can still understand her. After all, as a daughter-in-law, how dare she not obey her mother-in-law?
"Then let's keep Aunt Jiang for a while." The old lady said with a grim expression. In the past, because of her previous daughter-in-law, her relationship with her son was very tense.
It was only after Ding Xinhui came into the family that her relationship with her son gradually eased, so the old lady did not want her relationship with her son to become strained again because of a concubine.
When Jiang Chunxi brought Zhiwei back to the courtyard where she lived, Zhiwei immediately ordered the servants to serve breakfast.
As for Zhixuan, she was still kneeling outside.
"Auntie, Zhixuan is still kneeling outside." Zhiwei said after seeing her master finish breakfast, "It's not a good idea to always let Zhixuan kneel outside. You just married into the Jingnan Marquis's mansion. If you punish your dowry maid and cause something to happen to her, how will the servants of the Jingnan Marquis's mansion think of you?"
Since she could cruelly punish even her own maid who came with her dowry, the servants in the marquis's mansion would only think that the aunt, as her master, was cruel.
When you are in the backyard of a mansion, it is sometimes necessary to bribe some servants. It is not to harm others, but you should always be on guard against other people's calculations, because it is necessary to bribe some servants to act as spies.
It is also because of this that rumors cannot be spread that the master is too cruel to his maid who comes with the dowry. Otherwise, who would dare to work for the master in the future, without fear of getting the money but not being able to spend it?
"Go and let Zhixuan in!" Jiang Chunxi said lightly. Since she wanted to send Zhixuan to Jingnan Hou's bed, she naturally needed to keep Zhixuan by her side as her maid. Otherwise, how could she give Zhixuan the chance to climb into bed?
Zhixuan followed Zhiwei and limped in from outside.
"Miss……"
"You should call her Aunt," Zhiwei corrected Zhixuan, "Since Aunt has married into the Marquis of Jingnan's mansion, we can no longer call her Miss, lest someone with ulterior motives hears it and uses it to make things difficult for Aunt."
Zhixuan's eyes flashed with hatred, and then she quickly said: "Auntie, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to correct my mistakes because I have served you loyally for all these years!"
Although she said this, Zhixuan was cursing Jiang Chunxi to death in her heart.
I always thought I had met a good master, but I didn't expect to see his true face until today.
Humph! She remembered this grudge, and if she had the chance in the future, she would definitely take revenge.
"Do you really know you're wrong?" Jiang Chunxi looked at Zhixuan with a serious expression. "It was fine in the Jiang family before, but now that I'm married into the Marquis of Jingnan's mansion, I can't allow the maidservants who serve me to be so inappropriate. Since you've been serving me since you were a child, I'll let it go this time, but if it happens again, then go back to Jiangnan! I can't tolerate a maidservant like you who doesn't know the limits by my side."
"I will never dare to do it again." Zhixuan said with her head down. As for why she lowered her head, it was of course because her face was full of anger.
Zhixuan has been spoiled by the original owner and has become ignorant of her own limitations. She can't even see her own identity.
That’s why they say some people are born ungrateful. It’s useless to be nice to them.
"Okay, go down and rest!" Jiang Chunxi said, "Just let Zhiwei serve me today, and you can have a good rest for a day!"
"Yes." Zhixuan said in a muffled voice, then walked out with her head down.
Looking at Zhixuan's back as she walked out, Zhiwei frowned fiercely: "Aunt, it seems to me that Zhixuan is very resentful of you for punishing her!"
After being used the loyalty talisman, Zhiwei's loyalty to Jiang Chunxi naturally came first, although her feelings for Zhixuan were like those for her own sisters, after all, the two grew up together.
But if Zhixuan developed other thoughts, Zhiwei would have no choice but to give up her sisterly feelings for Zhixuan.
"I've spoiled Zhixuan," Jiang Chunxi sneered, "When Master Hou comes to my place in the future, just let Zhixuan do all the things to serve him. After all, she has served me for many years. Since Zhixuan has ambitions, I, as her master, will naturally fulfill her wishes."
Zhiwei did not agree with her master's behavior. Since she felt that Zhixuan was ambitious, why didn't she just send her away? Why did she allow Zhixuan to climb into the Marquis' bed?
But since the master had said so, Zhiwei didn't dare to refute anything.
In the evening, Marquis Jingnan naturally came to Jiang Chunxi again, and brought a maid in her twenties with him.
"This maid will serve you in the courtyard from now on. She will be responsible for your dressing and grooming in the future." Marquis Jingnan said in a light tone:
"Yes." Jiang Chunxi naturally wouldn't ask any more questions. With the original owner's memories, she certainly knew what Jingnan Hou was thinking. He just wanted to make her look more like his deceased wife.
And this maid was not a good person either. She used to serve the deceased wife of Marquis Jingnan, so she was very disdainful and resentful of the original owner as a substitute. She felt that the original owner had defiled her former master, and treated the original owner in a very indifferent manner, not taking her seriously at all.
The original owner would choose to tolerate such a servant whose identity was unclear, but Jiang Chunxi would not tolerate it.
"It's just..." Jiang Chunxi looked at Marquis Jingnan in embarrassment, "My Lord, this maid doesn't seem to want to serve me. Otherwise, why is she standing still and not trying to introduce herself to me and salute me?"
"Look at her like this. Those who know her will know that she is a maid. Those who don't will think that she is a master from nowhere. Otherwise, why would she be so arrogant?"
