Chapter 181 Madam, You Are So Beautiful
Chapter 181 Madam, You Are So Beautiful
Looking at Jiang Xiyu who had finished dressing, Qing'er was completely stunned, "Madam, what are you doing..."
Jiang Xiyu has always been very low-key, so it was really surprising to see her suddenly wearing so many jewelries.
"Today we are going to Zhou's house to visit Xu Rong. Please go and get me some clothes."
Qing'er was stunned for a moment, then turned around and helped her get a soft smoke silk skirt for Jiang Xiyu. After she put it on, Qing'er stared at it and couldn't help but sigh, "Madam, you are so beautiful."
Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's go."
When Jiang Xiyu took Qing'er to the lobby, Zheng was already waiting for them.
Zheng looked at Jiang Xiyu wearing luxurious clothes, and thought about the contrast with her own simple clothes. Zheng's face suddenly darkened.
"Jiang Xiyu, are you doing this on purpose? You are dressed so ostentatiously in public. What on earth do you want to do?"
"Of course I am accompanying my mother to visit my sister. As the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, I have to dress nicely so that the Zhou family won't look down on our Marquis' Mansion." Jiang Xiyu said lightly.
Zheng thought about when she went to Zhou's house and was ridiculed by Zhou, calling her a poor person and even the dowry she prepared for her daughter was so poor.
The anger in his heart subsided a lot, and he raised his chin towards Jiang Xiyu, "In that case, you should get me a set too."
Qing'er looked at Zheng speechlessly.
She wanted to save face, so she wouldn't wear her own clothes or jewelry, but she also wanted to take Jiang Xiyu's things.
Jiang Xiyu smiled and looked at the nanny behind Zheng. "What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear what the old lady said? Go get her something. It has to be the same as the one I'm wearing."
The nanny was stunned for a moment, feeling very embarrassed.
There is nothing left in the mansion now. Most of Zheng's things were pawned to Xu Rong as a dowry. Now she doesn't even have any decent jewelry.
Zheng was so angry that she slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Jiang Xiyu, what do you mean?"
Jiang Xiyu said with an innocent look, "It's not you who wanted to dress so beautifully, mother. I asked the servants to get it for you. Why are you angry, mother?"
Zheng was choked by Jiang Xiyu's words and couldn't utter a word. She just stared at her for a long time before she managed to say, "I asked you to get it for me. I'll return it to you when you're done with it."
Jiang Xiyu sneered, "Mother, I think you haven't forgotten what happened at the flower viewing banquet last time. All of these jewels of mine were given to me by the late Queen Mother, Princess Gui, and Princess Yunling. How can you just borrow them casually?"
"You..." Zheng was once again choked to death by Jiang Xiyu, but she couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
"It's getting late. If mother doesn't need to go back to her room to get her jewelry, let's go to Zhou's house together." Jiang Xiyu no longer paid attention to Zheng and turned away.
Zheng was so angry that she wanted to strangle Jiang Xiyu to death, but this time when she went to Zhou's house, she really needed Jiang Xiyu to stand up for her, so she had no choice but to get up and let the maids help her out.
Jiang Xiyu sat in a carriage and Zheng sat in a sedan chair, and they arrived at Zhou's house one after the other.
When they went to knock on the door, the doorman saw that it was them and looked very impatient.
Because they all received orders from the Zhou family, if the Xu family came to their door, they would just ignore them, except for Jiang Xiyu.
But after seeing Jiang Xiyu dressed in jewels, he thought for a moment and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Please wait a moment, Madam. I will go and report to the master and the madam."
Jiang Xiyu smiled and said, "Of course we have to report it. Let's go to the living room and wait."
Before the doorman could say anything, Jiang Xiyu led his men straight into the Zhou family.
The maids immediately carried Zheng in.
Seeing Jiang Xiyu and Zheng heading straight for the main hall, the doorman became anxious and immediately went to report.
Jiang Xiyu and Zheng were sitting in the main hall drinking tea. The maids and servants in the main hall saw Jiang Xiyu dressed like this and gathered together to whisper.
"This doorman is so bold that he actually let someone in like this. Madam has instructed us not to let anyone from the Yonglin Marquis's Mansion into the mansion."
"Why is the old lady from the Yonglin Marquisate here again? Wasn't it enough that she was scolded by our Madam last time? She dares to come here again?"
"That must be the wife of the Yonglin Marquis, she is truly as beautiful as a fairy and is dressed in luxurious clothes."
"Look at the jade beads and jade bracelets she wears, each one is priceless."
"I heard that the wife of the Yonglin Marquis is the legitimate daughter of General Jiang. When she got married, she had a gorgeous wedding dress that stretched ten miles long. I wonder how many noble ladies in Kyoto envied her. Now it seems that the wife of the Yonglin Marquis is really rich."
"This is the style of a lady from the Marquis's mansion. Unlike that old lady, she is not even as well dressed as our lady and looks very shabby."
Zheng was so angry that her face turned green when she heard the maids and servants talking.
These dogs and scumbags are just slaves, yet they dare to look down on her.
If she hadn't given all her dowry jewelry to Xu Rong as a dowry, she wouldn't have been so shabby.
The most infuriating thing is that even though she gave everything she had, Zhou Qin still complained that the dowry she gave to Xu Rong was too little. It was simply outrageous.
"Ma'am, please have some tea."
Jiang Xiyu was dressed luxuriously, and the maids and servants of the Zhou family all rushed to show their courtesy to her.
Jiang Xiyu smiled and gestured to Qing'er to give them some tips.
After a while, Zhou Lai and Zhou arrived.
When Zhou saw Jiang Xiyu and Zheng sitting in the main hall, her face immediately turned unhappy and she shouted angrily, "What are you doing here again?"
Seeing the maids and servants surrounding Jiang Xiyu and showing their courtesy, Zhou became even more furious and said, "Get out of here!"
Zhou was so aggressive that the maids and servants were frightened and immediately scattered like frightened birds and beasts.
Jiang Xiyu winked at Qing'er, and Qing'er immediately followed suit and retreated.
After all the maids and servants had left, Zhou glared at Zheng and said, "Didn't I tell you not to come? Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Pah." Before Zheng could say anything, Jiang Xiyu threw the teacup in her hand. "Now that our Yonglin Marquisate and the Zhou family are even more closely related, this is my first time visiting the Zhou family. Is this how you treat your guests?"
Zhou was not afraid of Jiang Xiyu's anger at all. She glared at her angrily, "Jiang Xiyu, stop pretending in front of me. You hurt my son like that, and you still want to marry me."
Jiang Xiyu raised her eyebrows noncommittally, stood up, and said directly, "Since Madam Zhou likes to be frank, then I will be frank. We are here to take Xu Rong back home today."
Mrs. Zhou immediately gave Jiang Xiyu a sidelong look. "You said you would pick someone up? This is the Zhou family, not your Yonglin Marquis Mansion. You can't just do whatever you want."
Zhou Lai, who had been silent the whole time, immediately expressed his opinion when he heard that Jiang Xiyu was coming to pick someone up, "Xu Rong is my wife now. Whether she can return home or not depends on me."
