Chapter 370: Phoenix Crying in the Middle of the Night
At midnight, in Wang Xifeng's courtyard, the sound of a phoenix crying lasted for half the night before it stopped.
On the embroidered bed in the room, Wang Xifeng was softly nestled in Jia Cong's arms, her face flushed! This Feng Lazi was indeed attractive, and had a charm that no one else had, so Jia Cong had originally returned to the East Mansion, but he couldn't help but come over in the middle of the night...
"You are a wild buffalo, you don't even know how to be gentle and considerate to women!" Feng Ji glared at Jia Cong breathlessly.
This feeling is indeed joyful, but every time I struggle, I still feel like my whole body is falling apart...
Jia Cong kissed Wang Xifeng on her red lips, "Do you like it, Xiao Feng'er?"
The burning sensation beside her ears made Wang Xifeng feel weaker and weaker. "Don't bother me anymore, or I'll be laughed at if I get up late tomorrow. If you want it, go find Ping'er."
Ping'er on the side looked at Fengjie helplessly. Her tolerance was even worse than Wang Xifeng's. How could she have the strength to deal with it now?
"I heard from Sister-in-law You that her two younger sisters also often come to the mansion?" Wang Xifeng asked, leaning on Jia Cong's chest.
Jia Cong nodded, "My eldest sister-in-law told me before that there is only an old lady and two sisters left at home, so moving here to live in the back street can help us take care of each other."
"Master, don't you have any ideas?" Fengjie said with a smile.
"Ideas?" Jia Cong asked puzzledly.
Sister Feng smiled and said, "I heard from Sister-in-law You that the two sisters are beautiful and rare beauties. Wouldn't you be tempted?"
“Bang!”
Jia Cong slapped Wang Xifeng hard with his palm, "Well, you dare to tease me. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you don't know who is the head of our family."
"Good Ping'er, this Feng Lazi bullied you just now, I will help you get revenge now!"
After saying this, Jia Cong jumped on his horse, and the sound of the phoenix's cry, which had just been silent for a while, rang out again. Fortunately, all the people inside and outside Fengjie's courtyard had been replaced by her own people, otherwise, the high-pitched phoenix cry could not be suppressed no matter what...
Early the next morning, Mrs. Xing came happily to the old lady's room.
Both parties have already reached an agreement, but they still need to get the old lady's approval. Although the old lady does not have much authority over Jia Cong's marriage now, she is the ancestor of the family after all, so she needs to at least save face.
"Greetings to the old lady!" After entering the room, Mrs. Xing saw the old lady eating with the service of Amber. She hurriedly stepped forward, greeted her first, and then personally served a bowl of soup to the old lady.
The enthusiasm of the eldest daughter-in-law made the old lady raise her eyebrows slightly. She has always been suppressing the eldest wife. Although this daughter-in-law dare not turn her face away, it is rare for them to be so close to each other.
However, the old lady was in no hurry to ask, and continued to eat slowly.
Madam Xing came forward and served him personally, smiling and saying, "Brother Cong gave me some things before, saying they were rewards from the palace, and I wondered, what kind of position do I have to use such precious things? In our family, only our ancestor has such wealth, so I took them and gave them to him, as a token of my appreciation."
After a long while, the old lady finished eating and then said, "It's amazing that you are so filial!"
"Isn't this as it should be? The eldest master and Brother Lian have committed a crime and are out of town, but I am still the daughter-in-law of the eldest wife. Isn't it my duty to respect the old lady?"
"You are being nice to me for no reason!" the old lady said calmly. "Now, what is it?"
Mrs. Xing smiled awkwardly, "It is a happy event, but I don't dare to make the decision, so I came to ask the old lady for a set of rules."
"Happy event?"
"My niece is here, and thanks to the old lady's grace, she can live in the mansion."
"The old lady also knows that my niece suffered in Jiangnan. Fortunately, she met Congge'er. Otherwise, who knows what kind of disaster would have happened to her. This little girl can be said to have received a great favor from Congge'er. After coming to the mansion, Congge'er also took good care of her. Therefore, my wife wanted to strengthen the relationship between the two families and let my niece serve Congge'er."
"Although my brother's family is small, the old lady has seen the girl before. She is a well-behaved girl. If she were to marry someone else, my wife would still be worried . So, she came to the old lady to ask for mercy..."
"The girl from the Xing family?" The old lady frowned.
Mrs. Xing's little thoughts naturally could not be hidden from her, and for her, it was just a matter of giving Jia Cong a concubine, which was really not a big deal.
After thinking for a moment, the old lady asked, "Have you asked Cong'er what he thought?"
"Brother Cong respects the old lady, so isn't this asking for some advice from the old lady?" Mrs. Xing said with a smile.
The old lady nodded slightly, "If that's the case, I'll talk to my grandson about this matter. If it's settled, I'll find a date to do it."
"That girl is indeed a good-looking girl, and considering Cong'er's status, even if she is a concubine, it won't be a disgrace to her! Besides, she is your blood niece after all. If she enters the mansion, you women will have someone to take care of her in the future. However, you should also have some sense of propriety. After entering the mansion, you will be Cong'er's person. Even if you are his aunt, there are some things you cannot cross."
Mrs. Xing was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly bowed to the old lady and said, "Thank you for your kindness, old lady. I will definitely remember your words in my heart. I dare not say anything else, but I can do it on behalf of the Wang family's sister to show my filial piety to the old lady!"
"My wife has no one to rely on now, so I will accompany the old lady from now on. I dare not ask for anything respectable, but just want to accompany the old lady to relieve her boredom and fulfill my filial piety..."
"Well, it's a good idea for you to have this intention! You can go back first. I will find Brother Cong to talk to him in the next two days."
With the old lady's permission, Madam Xing finally felt relieved. Even when she returned to the East Courtyard, she was still happy . Her niece entered the mansion. Wouldn't she be able to rely on her in the future? Moreover, with Cong'er's temper, how could he treat Xing Xiuyan harshly? Even if she was old in the future, she would not be alone to talk to.
"Go and find Mrs. Fei!" Mrs. Xing said after thinking for a while.
Soon, a maid entered the hall and Mrs. Xing said, "Go and clean up the eldest wife's property, whether it's fields, farms or shops, take out... take half!"
Mrs. Xing hardened her heart. This investment would affect the rest of her life, and she also believed that Jia Cong would not really let her lose money on the things she gave away.
"Go and exchange it for another three thousand taels of silver!"
