189 You’ll Definitely Gain Weight After Surviving a Great Disaster
There was no comparison between Zhao Ruifeng and Jiang Xi at all. After all, Jiang Xi alone could fight against thousands of troops. Oh no, it should be from thousands of troops. He was not affected at all. He could not afford to offend Jiang Xi. Anyway, as the seventh child, he had always been humble in front of Jiang Xi in his previous life and did not dare to resist at all.
Zhao Ruifeng knew that Jiang Xi had some unknown abilities. Seeing that she was willing to meet those people, he nodded and agreed. “It’s okay. I’m here for you. You can do whatever you want. I can cover for any trouble you get into.” At this time, Zhao Ruifeng was satisfied with his wife. He did not care even if the sky collapsed. He just wanted a wife.
After Zhao Ruifeng went out, Jiang Xi waved her hand and Hong Mu hurried over to massage her legs and shoulders. Lu Liu handed Jiang Xi a handkerchief to wipe her face, and then took out the snacks that Zhao Ruifeng had brought for her to fill her stomach.
“Young Madam, the Zhao family is really lively. I did a count just now. There are fourteen concubines in the residence. Other than Zhao Panpan, who just got married, there are twenty-seven daughters in the residence. One of them is in Concubine Mei’er’s stomach. Outsiders all say that Concubine Mei’er is pregnant with a son, but from what I can see, it’s probably a daughter,” Lu Liu said with a smile.
Just as they were talking, a burst of frolicking sounds came from outside the door, and occasionally a burst of rough laughter could be heard. Well, this was Concubine Yuan’s voice.
As soon as the concubines entered the door, they sized up Jiang Xi first. They had to admit that Jiang Xi was really good-looking and very likable. After glancing at Jiang Xi, the concubines sat down on their own, while Concubine Yuan stood obediently at the side. The other concubines were surprised. Concubine Yuan was usually lawless because of Zhao Hongwei’s favor, but why was she so well-behaved today?
Jiang Xi glanced at Concubine Yuan, who immediately stepped forward with a smile and poured a cup of tea for her.
“No wonder General Zhao always goes out to see you. I didn’t expect Miss Jiang Xi to be so beautiful when she’s dressed up. If I marry you, I’m afraid I’ll be seduced and lose my mind.” Concubine Fang laughed. She had always been sharp-tongued, and Zhao Hongwei liked it when she was quick-witted.
“Yes, Miss Jiang Xi is much prettier than the previous girls.” Concubine Yu smiled gently, and then inadvertently mentioned Zhao Ruifeng’s previous fiancees.
The concubines in the Zhao residence each had their own merits. Some were gentle, some were quick-witted, some were delicate and charming, some were intelligent, and some had exotic looks. One of them had an affectionate look in her eyes that could make one’s bones go soft, which was Concubine Wen. It was said that she had fallen seriously ill last month and her body had become thinner these days, making her even more pitiful.
At this time, Concubine Wen deliberately dressed in red on Jiang Xi’s big day and looked at Jiang Xi with disdain. “She’s just a little girl. What’s there to look at?”
The other concubines laughed and did not reply. Concubine Wen’s words were like firecrackers, completely different from her gentle and quiet name. She also loved to make a scene, and sometimes even Zhao Hongwei had to avoid her.
“Younger sister, you have just recovered from a serious illness. In the future, you will be blessed. I saw that the marquis looked at you several times today.” Concubine Fang laughed coldly. Concubine Wen had entered the harem after her. Strictly speaking, it was Concubine Wen who had snatched Zhao Hongwei from her.
Concubine Wen did not say anything, but just by leaning back in the chair, she was already very emotional.
When Jiang Xi saw that they had started to fight and ignored her, she suddenly became more interested in these people.
“I don’t really believe in the saying that there will be good fortune after surviving a great disaster, but it is true that you will definitely gain weight after surviving a great disaster. I see that Concubine Wen’s body is too weak, perhaps you will be more charming when you gain weight.” Jiang Xi said with a smile, and Concubine Yuan, who was standing next to her, suddenly shivered. Last time, her throat had become rough because of what Jiang Xi had said casually! Now, she turned her head and looked at Concubine Wen’s weak and boneless appearance.
Concubine Wen did not take Jiang Xi’s words seriously. She would not gain weight even if she ate. Moreover, Zhao Hongwei loved her weak body and said that it would be more romantic when they did it in bed.
“Concubine Wen probably hasn’t seen a King Kong before. When Concubine Wen gets fat, you can look at yourself in the mirror.” Jiang Xi smiled sincerely and gave Concubine Wen her most sincere blessings.
The people here did not understand what ‘King Kong’ meant, but when they saw Jiang Xi’s happy face, they guessed that it was a compliment. All the ladies thought that this new Young Madam did not seem to be so difficult to deal with. Thinking about it, it made sense. She was a girl from the countryside with no foundation in Jing City. Her maiden family could not help her at all and could only rely on her husband to survive.
