215 Can’t Come Over For the Time Being

“Jiang Si has been close to Lord Xiao recently. I’m afraid the crown prince and the Xiao family…” Guan Yi did not finish his words, but Wu Tielong naturally understood.

At this time, Jiang Xi had already returned to her room. She also drank a bowl of pear juice with rock sugar before she slowly walked towards the main hall.

“At first, when Xiao Meili entered the house, she also planned to reform the harem, but unfortunately…” Zhao Yingying followed behind her and chattered, “It’s a pity that my father loves women. He always feels that all the women in the inner courtyard can be happy and love each other like a family, so he doesn’t allow those rules. Except for Xiao Meili, who they treat a little more respectfully, all the concubines in the residence call each other sister. Sister-in-law, if you want to set rules for them, I’m afraid you won’t be able to.”

Zhao Yingying was a little worried. Jiang Xi had been busy managing the Zhao residence recently, so she did not tell Jiang Xi that the young prince had sent her a letter again recently. Moreover, he had not only sent a letter but also placed candles in a heart shape at the door of the Zhao residence at night. Zhao Yingying had never seen this before, so she was a little curious.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Don’t worry, there will be a way. Anyway, your big brother is not here, and no one in this residence will complain that I bullied them, so I can do my best.” Jiang Xi grinned. She would start by ruling the family now. In Jiang Xi’s opinion, the Zhao residence, Jing City, and even the country all needed to be taught a lesson!

“Yes, yes. When my brother returns, I’ll still be his good little sister in his heart, and you’ll still be his pure and good wife.” Zhao Yingying was all smiles. They could not destroy their beautiful image in big brother’s heart. After all, in big brother’s heart, she and her sister-in-law were very easy to bully, and would not bully others.

When Jiang Xi and Zhao Yingying arrived at the main hall, as expected… Other than Concubine Mei’er, Concubine Wen, and Concubine Yuan, who were sitting obediently, none of the other eleven concubines came.

“They said they’ve been infected with the cold and can’t come for the time being…” said Concubine Yuan in a rough voice.

“Well, are they so sick that they can’t get out of bed? Are they dizzy, have blurry eyes, and have leg cramps? Is their hair falling out in large patches? Are their teeth sore and falling off? Are their eyes red, and their hands and feet twitching?” Jiang Xi said with a smile.

“It’s enough, it’s enough.” Concubine Yuan’s face turned pale with fright, but she was a little afraid when she interrupted Jiang Xi’s words. She was afraid that she would suffer retribution again. In fact, not only did the concubines not come, but the young ladies of the residence also did not come. Concubine Yuan’s daughter was also among them.

“Then do you think they’ll come?” Jiang Xi asked indifferently.

Concubine Yuan and the others felt a chill in their hearts. This Young Madam seemed to be more powerful than the imperial preceptor!

Concubine Yuan was quite capable. In just half an hour, all 14 concubines and 26 of their daughters had arrived. Zhao Panpan was married off, but Xiao Meili’s younger daughter did not come, so there were only 26 young ladies left. Nowadays, many girls had reached the age to propose marriage, but those who came to the Zhao residence were mostly from small families or those who could not inherit the family business. After all, no one wanted to marry a wife who only knew how to give birth to a daughter, so the girls of the Zhao residence were all holding back their anger and refused all the marriage proposals.

“Young Madam, what’s the matter? Why did you call everyone here in such a hurry? I’ve been in the residence for so many years, but this is the first time there’s been such a scene.” Concubine Wan said. She was not exaggerating. after all, even if Xiao Meili called them, they might not be able to meet her. Concubine Wan touched her face. She was from a brothel and was also a top courtesan. She seduced Zhao Hongwei so much that he stayed in her room for more than two months.

Next to Concubine Wan was Concubine Wu. She was a concubine who had married into the family before Zhao Ruifeng’s mother. Her eldest daughter was older than Zhao Panpan and was still unmarried. She was considered the leader of the concubine and everyone listened to her. When she raised her hand, the concubines quieted down.

“I don’t know what orders the Young Madam has. Although we are the marquis’s bedmates, we are still only concubines. If the Young Madam has any orders, just say it.” Concubine Wu’s words were beautiful. They were Zhao Hongwei’s people. So what if Jiang Xi was the Young Madam? How could a daughter-in-law control her father-in-law’s mistresses?

Jiang Xi smiled and did not say anything. They should not use Zhao Hongwei to pressure her. If they wanted to pressure her, they would have to wait until Zhao Hongwei returns.

“From today onwards, everyone will wake up at 5:00 AM. All the concubines will train their physical strength in the residence. I’ve already ordered people to repair the backyard. When the time comes, everyone can train together. We’ll have breakfast at 7:00 AM. After breakfast, everyone will go to the temple hall to pray for my mother-in-law. After that, allocate your time to riding, archery, swimming, fighting, and so on. I’ll personally teach you in the evening.”
