After marriage (1)

  Although she had mentally prepared herself early on, looking at this house full of jade and pearls still made Jiu Si'er feel suffocated and annoyed.

  She didn't dare think more, took a deep breath, and quickly comforted herself in her heart, trying to adjust herself to the best mood.

  "I've seen the princess!"

  In the midst of tangled thoughts, those beautiful women had already knelt down with a gentle smile.

  "Get up!"

  She naturally didn't dare let others kneel for too long, because among them was a woman in pink who had a big belly and looked like she was five or six months pregnant.

  When she looked at the woman in pink, she strongly felt the two gazes from Yang Guofeng beside her.

  She couldn't help but pause for a moment, what? Was she still afraid that she wouldn't be able to bully this pregnant concubine? She immediately turned her head to look at him, but to her surprise, he immediately averted his gaze.

  She was stunned again.

  Uh... what does this mean again?

  It must be tough, huh? Heh... sandwiched between the first wife and the concubine, even heroes are just ordinary people.

  It's really a terrible marriage, I don't know if there's anyone who got divorced on the second day of their wedding...

  "Thanks, Princess Wang!" The pretty woman in the embroidered red jacket with a floral pattern and a low bun immediately said with a smile.

  Wang Yanniang, the eldest daughter of the wealthy Wang family in Bianzhou City, who shares a reputation with the Jiang family, is intelligent and beautiful. Last year, during the first month when Xia Shi was critically ill, she entered the Wang mansion as a concubine.

  At that time, the Wang family should have let this King Yan Niang conceive a younger son, but... Ninth sister's gaze fell on the slender and beautiful body of the woman in front of her, as if the Wang family's plan had fallen through.

  The power of this horse's breeding is not strong, how can it just make one woman pregnant...

  But suddenly she remembered last night, her heart couldn't stop churning, she quickly used her fingernails to pinch the palm of her hand hard, and finally suppressed it.

  The Wang Yan in front of her didn't know about this change in her mind, and with a smile, she was about to say something again.

  "Everyone, get up early and work hard. For now, please go back to your rooms and rest!" But Ninth Sister smiled and spoke first.

  The several beautiful concubines in front of her were stunned by her words, and their eyes all fell on her face.

  She had already turned her head to look at Cui Qiao and Qing Xiang standing on one side.

  The green apricot is unripe, and it's stupidly staring.

  "Your Highness, the princess... everything is ready, just waiting for you and the prince to arrive..." Nangui also hesitated for a moment, but quickly reacted and respectfully said in a low voice.

  "I'll go with Wang Ye to Taihe Hall to pay respects to Mother first, and then spend time with each of the sisters later, how about that?" Jiujie nodded in satisfaction at Cuiqiao, then smiled at the other beauties.

  "Yes... indeed, it's still Sister who thinks of everything!" Wang Yan Niang immediately spoke up, but it was clear that her gaze towards Jiu Si Er had an added hint of caution and humility.

  Jiuer's sharp eyes naturally caught this subtle detail, and she couldn't help but smile slightly in her heart.

  She didn't want to start with this soft nail either, after all, such a beautiful concubine had been waiting for a long time in the morning, but she couldn't help it.

  It's clear that these beauties, although outwardly respectful, actually don't take this young girl seriously.

  Although Wang Yan Niang is dressed in a low-key manner, the hairpin on her head is obviously a rare treasure. Isn't this understated yet elegant way of hers a challenge to you?

  Look at the pregnant woman in pink again, her attitude is extremely humble, and she doesn't even dare to raise her head to look at her properly, but the pink cloud-patterned shirt on her body is quite slim.

  She didn't believe she had nothing to wear, haha... Nothing else, just showing off her belly.

  And the other three, two of whom were tall and had a very beautiful appearance, should be the beauties bestowed by the emperor. They were delicate and charming, without moving or speaking, their enchanting posture was evident on their faces.

  Moreover, at this time, the two people who seemed to be worshiping on the surface were her, but those enchanting eyes that could capture one's soul did not pay attention to Yang Guofeng by her side for a moment.

  Is she an idiot?

  It seems that Yang Guofeng is too busy, hasn't taken care of the two for many days, and has caused them to be so...so longing.

  And the last one with a silver-white small chrysanthemum-patterned qipao was even more exceptional, although not outstanding, but her beautiful face had an air of cold elegance and nobility...

  "Let's go!" At this time, Yang Guofeng, who had been sitting on one side with a cold eye observing everything, stood up and said.

  The ninth sister unexpectedly looked at his face, wanting to find out from it his attitude towards her being treated as a small concubine, but that face was still faintly calm.

  She lowered her eyelids and secretly curled up the corners of her mouth in her heart.

  The morning sunlight shines on the crimson carved pillars, with a halo of light, the air is fresh and fragrant, a very beautiful morning, if not for the cold-faced man walking beside me.

  As she walked along the corridor with sparse flowers and trees, Jiu Si'er thought to herself.

  "...... The green jacket and red skirt were bestowed by the emperor, from the day they entered the mansion, they have been placed in that courtyard next to the ancestral hall." But suddenly a low male voice interrupted her thoughts.

  Uh...

  She was taken aback.

  "Our family has few descendants, Xia's... Xia has a poor body, so mother arranged for them..." At this time, Yang Guofeng spoke again.

  What does this mean? Explanation?

  The ninth sister couldn't help but stare at him again.

  Yang Guofeng also looked at her, their eyes met, and there was a hint of expectation in the man's gaze.

  Why should she feel guilty for all these women in front of her? Hoping that she could understand. Jiuzi'er was stunned again.

  Just now when she looked at that pregnant woman in pink, could his glance be understood as being embarrassed?

  "Hmm!"

  Everyone else has explained for half a day, so it's only natural that she should respond, and so Jiujie nodded.

  Seeing her just nodding, Yang Guofeng couldn't help but feel full of disappointment.

  He didn't want it either, but his mother was anxious about having children.

  It's not mother's fault actually, she has four sons but only one daughter, Hui'er...

  Jiuer naturally saw Yang Guofeng's expression clearly, and she still excluded him, but her mood inexplicably improved.

  Take another look, as long as he's not like last night, hmm, she can consider this Yang Fu as her temporary place to settle down.

  But last night... it was as if she had been bitten by a dog. She thought fiercely, feeling somewhat heroic and tragic.

  It would be better if this dog were to bite once, after all, having become someone's daughter-in-law, otherwise... really... there would be no way to stand firm in this mansion.

  Before they knew it, the two of them had already arrived at Taihe Hall, which was where Madame Meng lived.

  This place is quite similar to the He's house, the only difference is that there is an empty space in front of it, which should be for practicing martial arts.

  It suddenly occurred to me that during that visit to the Jiang family, Mrs. Yang, née Yan, had mentioned that Old Lady Meng loved martial arts.

  People who love martial arts should be generous and bold, doesn't that mean she won't be as rigidly adhering to rules like Li Taijun?

  However, she didn't let her guard down because she clearly remembered that Zou Zhener had once mentioned in a casual conversation that Meng Old Madame looked down on Yang Guofeng's late wife, Xia Shi.

  Although she was better off than Xia's family, her status was a bit embarrassing. She was born out of wedlock and her birth mother was just a lowly maid. She thought that Old Lady Meng would surely have some opinions about this...

  It turned out that Jiu's guess was not wrong, and Old Lady Meng was indeed not the kind of person who rigidly adhered to rules, but she was a bit indifferent to her.

  This should still be okay, right?!

  She glanced at Luo Mama standing aside and thought.

  Since she came in, Luo Mama has been hinting at her, and she thinks that earlier she must have also spoken well of her in front of the old princess.

  She was a little relieved, fortunately she had brought her eyes and had already made a good impression on Luo Mama.

  Fortunately, I was wise and let this dog bite itself...

  "This is your eldest sister-in-law, the one from your uncle's family that you met earlier!" Madam Meng's words pulled Jiu Si's chaotic thoughts back to reality.

  "Eldest Sister-in-law!" Facing the woman in front of her who was smiling at her, adorned with flowers and dressed up, Ninth Sister hastily offered tea with respect.

  "Thanks, sister!" The woman took the tea and sipped it lightly, then said, "Sister, I heard that the Jiang family's soap shop on Ermen Street is also yours?"

  The words made Jiu Jie'er stunned for a moment before nodding her head, "Yes!"

  The atmosphere in the house became rather chilly because of her response.

  "Does Eldest Sister-in-law also like using this? Then I'll give Eldest Sister-in-law two pieces in a moment, okay?"

  At this time, the new daughter-in-law who should have been captured by this cold atmosphere in everyone's eyes suddenly smiled and said, with a calm demeanor and a genuine smile.

  "This... I'd rather not..." Facing her warm and smiling eyes, the woman's face flushed with a hint of shyness.

  The ninth sister didn't say anything else, she just continued smiling.

  Yang's family has many relatives, she has already served many cups of tea and also received many gifts.

  She naturally didn't think there would be any conflict of interest between her and this elder sister-in-law, judging from her attire she should also be a good-looking person, probably just suddenly thought of it and casually mentioned it.

  But she didn't know that her casual remark would bring trouble to her, as the Jiang family was her stepmother's natal family and were only merchants, which would surely make people look down on her, a new daughter-in-law who already had an awkward background.

  In Meng's imperial concubine, the Jiang family was even more meaningful. They had actually wanted to send their daughter to this mansion as a concubine, which naturally provoked Meng's displeasure.

  But all these are facts that cannot be denied, so she can only force herself to calm down, try her best to show elegance and dignity, and tell everyone that the upbringing of this businesswoman's daughter is not bad at all.

  Otherwise, what can be done...

  "Niece-in-law, since Fourth Madame has sincerely offered it to you, don't decline anymore." It seemed that she had done the right thing, as at this moment Empress Meng spoke up, continuing from her words.

  The ninth sister couldn't help but feel secretly delighted and let out a sigh of relief.

  "Grandma, where is my fourth aunt? I've brought my elder brother to see her..."

  At this time, a voice came from outside the house, and then a girl in red led a three or four-year-old child in.

  Jiuer was taken aback, her eyes falling on the child in Yang Hui'er's arms...

  ……

  Digression

  Dear Zilongmo, really no time to write too much!

  Regarding the male lead, I hope everyone can understand that he is just a typical feudal society man, but he will change slowly!
