Wife is hell

Chapter 38 The Eldest Princess

Jiang Mu's body was like a pine tree, with the tip of his stick pointing diagonally to the ground.

The evening breeze rustled, causing his clothes to flutter wildly, giving him an air of awe.

The old woman clutched her lower abdomen and rolled around on the ground in pain.

Tears and snot covered my face, and I felt as if I had been branded with a red-hot iron. The burning pain shot straight to the top of my head, and I wished I could faint immediately.

After all, getting hit in that spot really hurts.

"Boss!"

Shi Shuangsui rushed over and hugged Jiang Mu's leg, looking up with her tear-streaked face, sobbing as she complained, "Boss, they hit me..."

Aunt Yan Wenxiu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her nephew arrive. While quickly straightening her disheveled clothes, she pointed angrily at the luxurious carriage and said:
"That old hag brought people to cause trouble for Shi Tou's family, claiming she wanted to avenge her son. When she couldn't find Yu Yu, she insisted on forcibly taking Sui Sui away. These heartless beasts, they even bully children!"

As he spoke, he spat fiercely in the direction of the carriage.

Despite her gentle and modest demeanor, Yan Wenxiu is actually quite fiery and strong-willed at heart; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to give birth to a daughter as spirited and impulsive as An Lingyun.

Jiang Mu lifted the stone slender tassel hanging from his lap, handed it to Shi Yuhua, and stared directly at Madam Yang in the carriage, coldly saying:

"Madam Yang, the case of who killed your son is still undetermined. Yet you bring a bunch of lackeys to bully us. What a grand display of power."

Madam Yang was over forty years old, but because she took good care of herself, her face did not look old. Instead, it had a fair complexion that suggested she had lived a life of luxury.

"No decision yet?"

She scoffed and glared at Jiang Mu with hatred.

"I see you're wearing a constable's uniform, so you must be a constable. If you're a constable, you should know that the murderer has been arrested and imprisoned. How could you say such a brainless thing?"

If you have no connection with the Shi family, get out of here. Otherwise, if you end up with a broken arm or a crippled leg, don't blame me for not warning you!

Jiang Mu tapped the ground lightly with his wooden stick:

"If that's how you put it, then you're not leaving today unless you give me an explanation!"

……

At an intersection a short distance from the scene of the conflict, a beautifully decorated carriage happened to stop.

Two women were sitting inside the carriage.

A dignified and beautiful woman, dressed in a dark blue plain brocade long dress, with a matching wide belt around her waist.

Especially the well-proportioned front and full hips, which, even when sitting upright, create a graceful curve in the dress, showcasing a mature charm.

The woman was Tang Jinxian.

In contrast to her was another noblewoman with a completely different temperament.

The woman was in her thirties, with fair skin, almond-shaped eyes, and peach-like cheeks. She wore a red brocade dress with gold thread embroidery.

Their clothes were quite gorgeous and extremely extravagant.

The collar, front, and even the cuffs are adorned with tiny pearls and tourmalines, creating a dazzling effect.

Beneath the hem of her skirt, a pair of long legs clad in black silk stockings were clearly visible.

The silk is as fine as mist, embroidered with gold thread.

It clings tightly to her graceful leg lines.

Her jeweled attire, far from being gaudy, actually made her appear even more like a precious jewel displayed in a brocade box, thanks to her dignified demeanor and exquisite features.

It shines brightly and exudes an air of nobility.

Just sitting there, he exudes a unique charm that is both languid and passionate.

Tang Jinxian lifted a corner of the carriage curtain.

Seeing the commotion at the alley entrance not far away, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"Hey, we've come at the right time, there's going to be a good show."

The elegantly dressed noblewoman spoke in a soft, sweet voice, leaning languidly against a cushion, toying with an exquisite round fan in her hand.

The fan swayed gently, sending up gusts of fragrant air.

Tang Jinxian's gaze was icy:
"Whose people are these? They're so arrogant. In broad daylight, they dare to let their servants lay a hand on women and children." He then got out of the carriage.

"What are you in a hurry for?"

The elegant woman raised her long, smooth, and lustrous leg to block her way, and said with a smile, "Let me see how that boy you've chosen will handle things."

The noblewoman was none other than the eldest princess of the Great Qian Dynasty.

The emperor's sister.

This eldest princess has quite a legendary story.

She was the first daughter of the late emperor and was regarded as the apple of his eye and was extremely loved from childhood.

He was exceptionally intelligent and once studied at Baiyang Academy.

The late emperor had intended to marry her to the son of a meritorious minister in order to stabilize the court, but before the decree was issued, she shaved her head and became a nun the very next day.

The emperor was so angry he almost vomited blood.

Later, rumors circulated that she had kept many male lovers, led a decadent lifestyle, and even adopted many godsons, which severely damaged her reputation.

However, Tang Jinxian, her longtime friend, knew that these were merely the princess's deliberate attempts to tarnish her image.

They simply wanted to escape the fate of becoming tools for royal political marriages.

She only returned to secular life after the late emperor passed away.

She even deliberately used the pseudonym "Madam Peach" to start a jewelry and rouge business.

However, his daily behavior remains unchanged, maintaining his extravagant and high-profile nature.

As they were talking, they saw Jiang Mu leap towards the servant who was about to hit Yan Wenxiu with a stick, and kick him away.

Then, he struck the old woman between the legs with a stick.

"hiss--"

The princess subconsciously brought her legs together, the stockings under her skirt rubbing slightly.

"This kid is really fierce. If he were to hit me with a stick, he would probably be bedridden for days."

Tang Jinxian sensed something was off.

I have a feeling that this princess, who usually enjoys making crude jokes, is hinting at something.

Sure enough, the next second the eldest princess said, "Especially since I am still a steamed bun..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Tang Jinxian quickly coughed to stop.

Fearing that the princess would start talking about "famous instruments" or something similar, she quickly changed the subject:
"His name is Mu Jiang. He used to be mentally challenged, but his mind recovered and he is very capable. However, the reason I invited you here is to see if the spiritual object on my body is related to him."

"Why is the spirit on your body related to him?"

The eldest princess raised her carefully drawn eyebrows, her eyes becoming somewhat strange.

Tang Jinxian, of course, wouldn't reveal such a private matter as becoming the other party's pet, so she casually made it up:
“At that time, the spirit accidentally got his blood on it and then entered my body. I thought that perhaps the ‘key’ to releasing the spirit was on him.”

"What's so difficult about that? Just cut open his stomach and take a look."

The eldest princess said casually.

"Su Meixin! I'm not joking with you!"

Tang Jinxian said somewhat angrily.

Although the other party was a princess, she was not afraid, especially since the two of them had played on the same bed when they were children.

The eldest princess chuckled, toying with the jade pendant on her round fan, her red lips parting slightly:

"I have a feeling that you're bewitched by that pretty boy. My little darling, this man doesn't look like a good person at all. If you can't handle him, I'll have to take over."

She stepped forward and pinched Tang Jinxian's cheek, smiling:
"If you really like him so much, I'll adopt him as my godson, train him properly, and then give him to you. How about that?"
