A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!
Chapter 73 The Power of Verbal Combat
Jiang Xinyu's return visit to her parents' home changed many people's minds, including Jiang Wanqiu, who still couldn't forget Zhao Chengye.
Jiang Wanqiu had been thinking a lot these days, and finally opened his box and cut up everything Zhao Chengye had given him.
Jiang Xinyu could casually give away the prestigious Imperial Academy membership card that her father had desperately sought, a disparity that drove her to the brink of madness with jealousy.
She used to think that becoming Zhao Chengye's second wife was the best possible marriage, after all, given her social status, it was the highest level she could reach.
She was determined to be a respected noblewoman and never considered entering the palace or becoming a concubine.
But Jiang Xinyu's experience gave her a new inspiration: as long as she could get what she wanted, some unconventional methods were not out of the question.
Jiang Xinyu was unaware that her boasting only fueled Jiang Wanqiu's ambition to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy, leaving the mother and daughter to the side while she discussed fabrics with her aunt.
Jiangnan has always been a major silk-producing province. Madam Wang's family were imperial merchants, and although she was a merchant's wife, she knew these tribute silk products like the back of her hand.
On the contrary, Jiang Xinyu was a country bumpkin, completely bewildered as her aunt explained what "sky blue gauze" and "doroni" meant.
While productivity was indeed low in ancient times, the high degree of centralization of power led to even greater extravagance and debauchery.
Especially the items used by the royal family were all carefully selected by nine generations of the imperial family, which is completely incomparable to modern quality inspection departments.
Madam Wang was also a cunning woman; the more jealous Liu and her daughter were, the more enthusiastically she talked.
Jiang Xinyu can be quite sharp-tongued, saying one minute that this gauze is suitable for pasting windows, and the next minute that that silk is suitable for making curtains.
Seeing these fine materials, which she cherished so much even for a handkerchief, being ruined like this, Liu felt her heart bleed. She wished she could take all these good things home with her.
Jiang Wanqiu also felt a tightness in her chest, and even though she knew that this bitch was deliberately showing off, she still couldn't help but feel jealous.
The mother and daughter waited and waited, and finally September returned. Their eyes lit up when they saw the name cards in each other's hands.
Today, since her aunt had some rare free time to come and chat with her, Jiang Xinyu didn't want these two to be in her way. Without even looking at them, she waved her hand and told Jiuyue to hand over the visiting card.
"Alright, take your things and go back quickly. I don't provide meals here; they're all delicacies, and I'm afraid you won't be able to digest them."
Oh, right.
Since my younger sister doesn't want to marry into the Ningguo Duke's mansion and eat coarse food, Aunt Liu, you should prepare some better food for her.
"If she eats only bland, watery food for a long time, I'm worried she'll get diarrhea when she visits other people's homes."
The Liu mother and daughter were so angry that they turned red in the face and stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Madam Wang was also disgusted and couldn't help but punch her niece to tell her to watch her words.
Jiang Wanqiu couldn't take it anymore. Having the calling card in hand, she felt relieved and glared at Jiang Xinyu, saying sarcastically...
"My sister is becoming more and more unconventional. She's really given up on herself and doesn't care about saving face at all?"
You don't need to worry about your sister's future; the important thing is for you to live your own life well.
Our Jiang family has never had a woman who commits adultery. Even if my brother-in-law is a bit special, you must remember the Jiang family's traditions.
Don't do anything that would disgrace the family and get you drowned in a pig cage.
Jiang Xinyu chuckled upon hearing this.
"Judging from your logic, is your large intestine connected to your brain?"
So you're saying that if a husband can't satisfy his sexual needs, a woman will definitely cheat on him?
Then why did you remind me?
Based on the degree of kinship, you should also remind your brother Chengye.
On their wedding night, Li Mingyue gave him a potent drug, and the imperial physician personally diagnosed that he could not have sex for a year, otherwise he would be completely ruined.
You'd better make sure he keeps a close eye on his wife so she doesn't cheat on him.
By the way, the most important thing is to take good care of yourself.
Our Xiao Yuan is impotent because he was castrated at a young age and has no manhood. It would be a big joke if someone who is already manhood couldn't perform either.
If he were younger, he might be able to find a job in the palace, but at his age, that's probably not an option.
And another thing, little sister, don't have too high expectations for this matter of the bed.
Nowadays, men have multiple wives, concubines, and countless maids. Even if you marry a healthy man, you might not get to have sex with him more than a few times a month.
Especially after three to five years when the novelty wears off, it's questionable whether your brother-in-law will still come into your house with your looks.
Those who have never tasted meat can still resist, but what if they have to wait until they get to eat meat and end up living a life of celibacy...
Tsk tsk, I was worried you wouldn't be able to stand the loneliness and would end up in a pig cage.
And don't mention your family's reputation in front of outsiders. I'm ashamed, even if you aren't.
Your father favored his concubine over his wife and lived off her, while your aunt became pregnant out of wedlock and seduced a married man.
You've even surpassed your predecessor, flirting and making advances with your sister's fiancé.
You're talking to me about family traditions? Are you trying to make me laugh so you can inherit my dowry?
Jiang Xinyu really dares to say anything; after a string of words, the whole courtyard fell silent.
No matter how shrewd Jiang Wanqiu was, she was still an unmarried young woman, and she had never heard so many lewd words before.
At this moment, he was so angry that his chest heaved and his face turned red. He glared at her with angry eyes but couldn't say a word.
Not to mention Jiang Wanqiu, even Liu, a woman who had been married for many years, was too embarrassed to say a word.
Madam Wang's face turned bright red, and she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand to shreds. She was just waiting for the mother and daughter to leave so she could properly teach her niece a lesson for her loose tongue.
July and September, who were tending to the plants in the yard, wished they could bury themselves in the ground. How could they possibly listen to this?
I'm begging for someone who's never heard this before.
July was especially devastating.
She was also responsible for relaying the Madam's words and actions to the Chief Eunuch. How was she supposed to say that?
Please, Lord Supervisor, don't come back today. Tell Xiaodouzi that she'll grit her teeth and do it.
She wouldn't dare tell the supervisor in front of him whether he had a weapon or not.
The supervisor will beat her to death, he definitely will.
Jiang Wanqiu is just being a jerk; even though she knows she can't win an argument, she still has to be cheeky.
Well, that's how it ended. The mother and daughter, who were almost driven to the point of bursting blood vessels from anger, were slunk out by the other party.
Jiang Xinyu, despite her resounding victory, didn't fare well either. She had just given herself a peace sign when she turned around and was startled by Madam Wang.
This time, there were no outsiders present, and Madam Wang unleashed her barrage of attacks like a machine gun.
From the virtues and words of a woman to the idea of treating one's husband as one's heaven.
From never taking advantage of one's husband's affections to how to get along with him.
Jiang Xinyu felt like a monkey with a golden headband on it, and her whole being visibly weakened.
But she wouldn't argue with her aunt. When she got really annoyed by her aunt's nagging, she would snuggle into her aunt's arms and beg for mercy.
She did dislike these feudal dregs, but Madam Wang's gaze was so warm when she lectured her, full of heartache and worry.
My aunt was afraid—afraid that she would be ostracized for not conforming to societal norms, and afraid that she would be harmed for not following societal rules.
At this moment, Jiang Xinyu suddenly understood why some women, who did not agree with the traditional female virtues and precepts when they were young, still taught their daughters in this way.
It's not that they approve of this rule, it's that they know it's too dangerous to resist and don't want their children to get hurt.
She had been in this world for some time, and the only family affection she had ever felt came from Madam Wang.
Madam Wang was only her aunt, but she truly loved her like her own daughter.
Feelings are mutual.
Regardless of whether it was for the original owner's karma or for the care she had received these days, Jiang Xinyu did not want to upset Madam Wang.
╮(︶﹏︶)╭ Bring me two more pots of strong tea, and I can continue listening.
September: Let's talk about the matter of the supervisor being angry after the aunt leaves.
This fighting power is too strong; she fears that if the lady continues to be lectured, she won't live to see the Eunuch return. =_=
