Chapter 132 - 132 Waiting Outside
132 Waiting Outside
Zhao Ruifeng stood in the warehouse, and his commanding posture scared the butler so much that he quickly went to report to Xiao Meili. Under the strong obstruction of the butler, only one-third of the things in the warehouse was left.
When Xiao Meili saw the drunk Zhao Hongwei, she wanted to complain to him, but he could not hear her at all. Xiao Meili was so angry that she smashed a few antique vases!
“Go, investigate properly. Find out which concubine Zhao Hongwei went to today!” Xiao Meili was so angry that her eyes turned red. She felt so angry that her heart hurt! He looked drunk and did not even know that his entire fortune had been emptied by others!
“Jiang Xi! This woman, Jiang Xi! I think she was born to go against me!” Xiao Meili roared in anger. If the empress had not been soft-hearted, she would have attacked Jiang Xi long ago! So what if the crown prince found out the truth later? Would he fall out with the empress over a dead person?
“Jiang Xi is already so troublesome even before she’s married to my brother. What will we do after she gets married? Mother, how can I bear to let you suffer?” Zhao Panpan looked at Xiao Meili with heartache. “And big brother is so easily coaxed by Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi was never taught how to play by the rules. She’ll spend all the money she’s got in a short time.”
Zhao Panpan let out a low sigh as her hatred for Jiang Xi grew. When Xiao Meili heard that Jiang Xi was going to spend all the good stuff, she became even angrier.
Zhao Panpan’s eyes turned and she suddenly laughed. She looked in the direction of the Jiang residence. The corners of her mouth were smiling, but there was a chill in her eyes. She picked up a pen and wrote a letter. After thinking for a while, she dipped her finger into the tea and a drop of water dripped onto the letter. It looked like a tear. She called for a servant and said, “Send it to the crown prince overnight. Tell him that I miss the empress and that I’ll go to the palace tomorrow to visit the empress.”
On the tea table, there was also an unopened box. It was a gift from Jiang Xi to the Zhao family. Unfortunately, no one had opened it, so no one knew what Jiang Xi had given them.
Jiang Xi had stirred up trouble in Jing City on her first day.
…
Jade Spring Brothel…
“Seventh brother has good alcohol tolerance! This little brother is impressed!”
“Seventh brother, another pot! Sigh, seventh brother, if only I could have met you earlier. Only after knowing you did I realize how boring those days were.”
“Seventh brother, look at the girls from the Jade Spring Brothel. They’ve been passing by our door just now. They’re all here to sneak a peek at you. It’s really a waste of youth if one isn’t lustful. Seventh brother, you’re an outstanding youth!”
“By the way, seventh brother, I’ll introduce you to someone next time. He’s someone I met a while ago. Although he’s a scholar, he doesn’t have the rotten aura of a scholar. He’s quite capable, but he’s from a poor family. His parents didn’t have much foresight and married him to an extremely fierce wife. He’s really pitiful.”
Song Yun and a few of her brothers were drunk. They were clearly using glasses while Song Yun was using a wine pot, but why could they not win against Song Yun? It was fine if they could not win when drinking or fighting, but they could not even win against Song Yun when it came to girls!
“Burp, that’s right, that scholar seemed to have come from the same place as you, seventh brother.” The person who spoke stammered.
Song Yun, “??? ”
Early the next morning, Zhao Ruifeng came to the Jiang residence with a long group of people. There were more than a dozen boxes of clothes and jewelry, and more than a dozen maidservants stood in two neat rows at the gate of the Jiang residence. Zhao Ruifeng also had people buy meat buns from the east of the city and snacks from the south of the city. Everything was available.
Someone curiously asked Zhao Ruifeng why he did not go in. Zhao Ruifeng said it was too early and going in would disturb Jiang Xi’s rest, so he waited at the door. His eager look made everyone in Jing City speechless.
“Why do I suddenly feel a little envious of that village girl, Jiang Xi? ” Some of the unmarried girls in Jing City were a little upset. However, they had forgotten that whenever someone proposed marriage to Zhao Ruifeng, the girls in Jing City would avoid him in fear and trepidation. They did not want to have any relationship with Zhao Ruifeng. However, they envied Jiang Xi’s good life and even felt that Jiang Xi did not deserve to be loved by General Zhao Ruifeng.
When it was almost time for Jiang Xi to get up, Zhao Ruifeng asked people to send the things in one after another.
The old nanny, who was over fifty years old, taught Jiang Xi some etiquette when entering the palace. Then, she personally combed her long hair, trimmed her eyebrows, put on makeup, and put on the new dress that Zhao Ruifeng had brought.
