Chapter 437: Concubine of Jingnan Marquis's Mansion 8
"What are you sisters talking about?" Just then Ding Xinhui came out.
Jiang Chunxi and the other two concubines quickly stood up and saluted Ding Xinhui. Even Aunt Cai, who was almost angry to death, had to salute Ding Xinhui first.
After the ceremony, Aunt Cai hurriedly told the story of Jiang Chunxi's evil deeds, but she did not exaggerate, because she knew very well that the lady must have heard the conversation between her and Aunt Jiang in there.
Ding Xinhui really heard everything Jiang Chunxi and Aunt Cai said just now, but she pretended not to know. After Aunt Cai finished speaking, she looked at Aunt Jiang and asked, "Aunt Jiang, do you have anything else to add? Do you want to refute Aunt Cai's words?"
"I have nothing to add, and nothing to refute," Jiang Chunxi said calmly, "Madam, please tell me for yourself whether what I said to Aunt Cai was wrong. Aunt Cai was clearly saying that the Marquis was not in good health, and when she scolded me, wasn't she just fulfilling the responsibilities of a mistress of the house?"
"If Madam thinks I am wrong, then I have nothing to say. After all, even Madam herself does not mind Aunt Cai interfering in other people's affairs, so what else can I say?"
Ding Xinhui's face turned cold, and then she laughed out of anger: "Aunt Jiang is really sharp-tongued. It seems that being favored by the Marquis is extraordinary!"
"Madam, please don't say that," Jiang Chunxi immediately retorted, "Otherwise, I am really wronged. Of course, if Madam insists on defending Aunt Cai, then it is really my fault!"
"But Madam, the rules of the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion are really too bad!" Jiang Chunxi showed a sarcastic smile, "If the Marquis asked for water a few times in the concubine's room at night, it would spread throughout the mansion the next day, and even be brought up by the concubine to talk about it openly."
"Tsk tsk! This rule really makes me feel uncomfortable. After all, my family would not allow such a thing to happen. How can a head of the family call for water in the concubine's room a few times and let people talk about it? After all, my wife is a lady from an official family. The ability of this housekeeper is too ordinary!"
"How dare you," Zi Ling shouted at Jiang Chunxi, "Aunt Jiang, who gave you the guts to speak to Madam like that?"
"Who gave you the guts to speak to me like that?" Jiang Chunxi sneered. "Although I am a concubine, I am still a noble concubine. It's not an exaggeration to say that I am half the master of the Marquis of Jingnan Mansion! You, a slave, dare to scold me, a concubine, without asking the mistress. May I ask who gave you the courage?"
"Madam," Jiang Chunxi looked at Ding Xinhui, "Although what I just said was unpleasant to hear, it is reasonable and well-founded, isn't it? The rules in the mansion are indeed a bit lax, isn't this a fact?"
"It's only because I'm thick-skinned that I'm shameless. If someone were thin-skinned and knew that the servants in the mansion had spread the story of how many times the Marquis and I moaned at night, and even let Aunt Cai use it to lecture me, would she still want to live?"
"Of course, I don't mind it myself, but if the Marquis knew that what I did in the concubine's room was talked about by the servants in the mansion, I don't know if the Marquis would mind it!"
"You are just making sophistry," Aunt Cai said angrily, "How dare the servants in the mansion use the Marquis's affairs as a topic of conversation? Each person has his own actions and is responsible for his own affairs. What I said just now is my own, but it has nothing to do with the servants in the mansion."
Aunt Cai didn't want to say this, but if she didn't, and if the Marquis really got angry, all the servants in the mansion would hate her to death.
The most important thing is that every word that Aunt Jiang said hit the Madam's heart and lungs. Madam might not do anything to Aunt Jiang because of her favor, but she would definitely vent her anger on her, so Aunt Cai had to say this.
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi covered her mouth with her fan and chuckled, "What Aunt Cai said is really funny. If the servants in the mansion hadn't spread the news about how many times the Marquis asked for water in my room last night, how would you, Aunt Cai, know how many times the Marquis asked for water in my room last night?"
"Could it be that you were squatting in the corner of my yard all night last night, and only then did you know how many times the Marquis favored me last night? If that's the case, then it would be a pity for Aunt Cai not to become a knight on the beam."
"That's enough," Ding Xinhui said with a sullen face, "Madame Jiang, why didn't you examine yourself when you were talking about Madam Cai? With your attitude, do you take me, the mistress of the house, seriously?"
"Then I will apologize to you, Madam," Jiang Chunxi stood up and bowed to Ding Xinhui, "So telling the truth in the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion means not taking the mistress of the house seriously! I have learned my lesson, Madam, rest assured, I will never dare to tell the truth in front of you in the future, so as not to make you angry again, then I will really be guilty."
"Oh!" Ding Xinhui was so angry that she laughed again, "Aunt Jiang is convinced that I dare not do anything to you. Do you think that you can challenge me just because I am favored by the Marquis?"
"Yesterday I thought Aunt Jiang was a quiet person, but now it seems that Aunt Jiang is very ambitious."
"If Madam insists on saying so, then I really have no way to defend myself. After all, you are the mistress of the family, and I am just a concubine. So naturally, whatever Madam says is what it is. I can only accept it, can I not cry out for injustice?"
The reason why Jiang Chunxi dared to confront Ding Xinhui like this was, of course, because she knew that Ding Xinhui would never do anything to her openly in order to maintain her image in front of the Marquis, especially since the Marquis of Jingnan still cherished her as a concubine.
Of course Jiang Chunxi was not afraid even if Ding Xinhui came secretly. Besides, she did this to force Ding Xinhui to take action against her as soon as possible, instead of being like the original owner who endured for two years before taking action.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu really admired Aunt Jiang at this time, but at the same time they were speechless about Aunt Jiang's stupidity.
After all, if he wasn't stupid, how could he dare to offend the lady to death like this? Did he really think that he could ignore the lady just because he had the favor of the Marquis?
"Madam, look," Aunt Cai looked at Ding Xinhui and said, "Madam Jiang doesn't take you seriously. If you don't punish her, then Aunt Jiang will become even more arrogant in the future. So I ask Madam to punish Aunt Jiang."
As she spoke, Aunt Cai knelt down.
"Madam Cai is meddling in other people's affairs again," Jiang Chunxi said sarcastically. "But it's true. Madam doesn't mind at all, so it's no wonder that Madam Cai can make decisions for Madam time and time again. It's really rare for a concubine to be as good as Madam Cai. Madam Cai has brought honor to all concubines in the world."
