Chapter 451: Concubine of Jingnan Marquis's Mansion 23
At the same time, Jiang Chunxi was here.
"Auntie, I didn't expect Madam to move her mother here," Zhiwei said gloatingly as she fanned Jiang Chunxi, "It seems that Madam is really scared this time, afraid that she will be divorced by the Marquis!"
"Oh, Auntie, what should we do next?" Zhiwei continued, "This is just a small fight. It won't really hurt Madam. After all, the Marquis is unlikely to divorce Madam for the sake of his deceased wife."
"Letting the Marquis divorce Madam, wouldn't that be too easy for Madam?" Jiang Chunxi put a black chess piece on the chessboard. "What I really want to do is to drive Madam crazy. If I drive someone like Madam crazy, it will be a great help to me."
The original owner wanted her child to inherit everything in the Jingnan Marquis Mansion, so the young master Zhou Fengting was naturally a stumbling block, and this required Ding Xinhui to remove this stumbling block for her.
As for whether this would be too cruel, after all, Zhou Fengting's child had no grudge against the original owner.
But so what? She is just here to complete a mission, not to be a saint. As long as it does not conflict with her own mission, Jiang Chunxi doesn't mind being kind. But once it is related to her own mission, there is nothing to say. Naturally, she will be as cruel as she can.
Marquis Jingnan did not return until the evening. When he learned about what Ding Xinhui had done, his first thought was to kill Ding Xinhui. After all, the two children were his Achilles' heel. Ding Xinhui even dared to plot against and use the two children. How could Marquis Jingnan not have murderous intentions towards Ding Xinhui?
However, considering his mother-in-law's plea, Marquis Jingnan still gave Ding Xinhui another chance.
Of course, Mrs. Ding also said that if Ding Xinhui dared to plot against the two children again in the future, her son-in-law could do whatever he wanted to Ding Xinhui, except that he could not divorce her, and the Ding family would never say anything.
This was done to prevent Ding Xinhui from hearing what her mother said, otherwise she wouldn't know how angry she would be.
Time slowly came to a year later.
During this year, Marquis Jingnan never set foot in the main courtyard. He usually stayed in Jiang Chunxi's courtyard. He also never went to Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu's houses.
So during this year, Jiang Chunxi was the only one favored, and Marquis Jingnan loved her even more.
Although the original owner was also favored by Marquis Jingnan in her previous life, there was still a big difference between her favor and that of Jiang Chunxi. After all, Marquis Jingnan's favor for the original owner was to dress her up to look more like his deceased wife.
But his favor towards Jiang Chunxi was different. At least Marquis Jingnan did not treat her as a puppet. In the beginning, he favored her because of Jiang Chunxi's face.
But gradually, his favor towards Jiang Chunxi was just because of her.
There was no way, because Jiang Chunxi was too special, especially in that aspect, which made Marquis Jingnan unable to stop, and she could also give Marquis Jingnan some surprises and excitement from time to time.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Marquis Jingnan was not confused.
Ding Xinhui was naturally very anxious about the fact that the Marquis never came to her room again. Fortunately, over the course of a year, the two children gradually let go of their grudges against her.
Especially Zhou Rurui, who became very intimate with her stepmother Ding Xinhui, was very dissatisfied with her father for not moving into the main courtyard.
However, the lesson from the last time taught Ding Xinhui that she dared not take advantage of Zhou Rurui too obviously. She also had to brainwash Zhou Rurui quietly so that Zhou Rurui could help her without making the Marquis think that she, as a stepmother, was taking advantage of the child.
With Zhou Rurui's help, Marquis Jingnan finally stepped into the main courtyard again after a year and stayed in Ding Xinhui's room, finally breaking the situation where Aunt Jiang was the only favorite.
That morning, after Ding Xinhui sent the Marquis to court, when the concubine came to pay her respects, she felt proud to see Aunt Jiang.
"Aunt Jiang doesn't seem to be in good spirits today. Maybe she didn't sleep well last night?" Ding Xinhui said to Jiang Chunxi with a smile.
"Ha!" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "I read a little late last night, so I look a little tired this morning."
"So that's how it is!" Ding Xinhui still smiled and said, "I thought it was because the Marquis didn't go to Aunt Jiang's place last night, and Aunt Jiang couldn't sleep because of that, so she was not in good spirits this morning?"
"Madam, are you showing off to me?" Jiang Chunxi looked at Ding Xinhui sarcastically, "The Marquis hasn't been to your main courtyard for a year. It was not easy for him to finally stay in your room last night. No wonder Madam is showing off to me like this today."
"But what I don't understand is, is there anything worth bragging about, Madam? I advise Madam to show off when you are favored like me! Otherwise, it will be ridiculous, just like a poor man who suddenly becomes rich."
"It's just that the Marquis stayed at your place last night. What is there for Madam to brag about? If it weren't for the fact that I've been having a good time these days, the Marquis probably wouldn't have entered Madam's yard last night."
Then when Ding Xinhui's face darkened, Jiang Chunxi stood up and said, "Since An has been invited, I will take my leave first. After all, I am still sleepy now. I want to go back and take a nap."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Chunxi left with her people. Ding Xinhui was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't do anything about Jiang Chunxi at all.
It is worth mentioning here that Ding Xinhui went to Huguo Temple to ask for a lot of talismans in the past year. She wanted to invite the senior monks of Huguo Temple to Jingnanhou Mansion to take a look and perform rituals.
But Ding Xinhui did not dare to disobey her mother's warning. Of course, the most important thing was that she secretly observed and felt that Aunt Jiang was not really possessed by a monster. This gave up the idea of inviting the monks from the Huguo Temple to the Jingnan Marquis Mansion.
Otherwise, if she was really sure that Aunt Jiang was possessed by a demon, even with her mother's warning, she would have asked the senior monks from the Huguo Temple to come to the Jingnan Marquis Mansion to capture Aunt Jiang, the demon.
As for the mother’s warning…
In fact, Ding Xinhui knew very well that although her mother disliked her as a daughter, she would not really let her die. If she really ignored her mother's warning, her mother would not be so cruel as to find a way to let her die of illness.
"Okay, you all can go away!" Aunt Jiang had already left, and Ding Xinhui was too lazy to keep Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu.
After Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu left, Zishu brought a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine for Ding Xinhui to drink.
Ding Xinhui has been taking care of her body over the past year, and she had prepared the pregnancy medicine early on.
The Marquis finally came to her room last night and even ordered water, so when the Marquis went to the morning court, Ding Xinhui ordered Zishu to personally make the pregnancy-preserving medicine and not to let anyone else get the medicine.
