My Wife is a Psychic

Zhao Ruifeng raised his wine glass and covered the smile on his face. He found Jiang Shan, his brother-in-law, more and more pleasing to the eye!

The smile at the corner of Mei’er’s mouth froze. The other concubines burst out laughing. Where did this clown come from? The marquis was feeling sorry for his new concubine. Was it really appropriate for him to expose her so directly?”

Zhao Yingying, who had been seriously ill in the palace, looked a little pale, but the smile on her face was very bright. She liked it when others made her father speechless.

Jiang Shan’s straightforwardness also made Zhao Hongwei a little uncomfortable. “Cough, cough. Mei’er’s body is a little weak. It’s very tough being pregnant. You guys eat first. Treat this place like your own home. Eat whatever you want.” After he finished speaking, he left with Mei’er.

Before she left, Mei’er smiled at Xiao Meili and said, “Madam, Mei’er is not feeling well and has left. Mei’ er has brought some local specialties for the Madam. Madam can try them to ease your homesickness. If you have time, please send some to Lord Xiao. It has been many years since we returned to the Northern Border, and I’m afraid everyone is very homesick.”

“Yes,” Xiao Meili replied. The entire Xiao family was from the Northern Border, but they had all moved away 20 years ago. Lord Xiao had even become an official and had a meteoric rise. If Mei’er had not mentioned it, many people would have forgotten that they were from the Northern Border.”

After Zhao Hongwei left with Mei’er, Jiang Xi said calmly, “Isn’t she afraid of breaking her back if she makes such a big fuss?”

As soon as she finished speaking, he heard Mei ‘er, who had just left the door, scream, “Ah, Lord Marquis!” With a plop, Mei ‘er knelt on the ground. Her face, which had been so graceful just a moment ago, had turned pale in an instant. Zhao Hongwei was so frightened that he quickly called for a doctor.

Everyone in the room was silent as they looked at Jiang Xi in a daze.

“Everyone, don’t be so reserved. Eat whatever you want. I’m an easy person to talk to. I like people who know the rules. One is one, two is two. One will be in whatever position one should be in. There’s a clear line between and no one can cross it. Some of my friends in the past always don’t know their place and only understand when they were at a disadvantage,” Jiang Xi said with a smile.

Many people knew that the Zhao family was known for their lack of manners. Xiao Meili had entered the family as a mistress and had angered the first wife to the point of taking over the position with despicable means. The other concubines had also followed the footsteps of their predecessors. The concubines of ordinary families were similar to servant girls. They were not allowed to sit at the same table as the first wife. Instead, they had to stand by her side and wait for her. However, the Zhao family was different. Zhao Hongwei’s heart ached for every concubine and wanted them to sit at the table. The Zhao family’s main hall had been expanded many times. Moreover, the things that the concubines in the residence possessed had long exceeded the standards that they could possess.

The concubines were on tenterhooks because of Jiang Xi’s words. Of course, some people felt that Jiang Xi was being too nosy. Not to mention that she had not married into the family yet. Even if she had, she was just a rural woman with no foundation. How could she be the head of the family?

“We’ll talk about this after you’re married. You should know your place. You’re the one who’ll suffer in the end.” Zhao Hongwei’s favorite concubine, Concubine Yuan, covered her mouth and laughed hysterically. Her voice was as clear and melodious as an Oriole. If she lowered her voice, it would be a man’s favorite voice. It would make one’s body go soft. Zhao Hongwei loved her soft tone the most.

“This concubine should speak less. If you speak too much, your voice will become rough.” Jiang Xi glanced at Concubine Yuan’s throat. Concubine Yuan snorted and did not take her words to heart.

“Speaking of which, Miss Panpan has been in the palace for a few days. I don’t know what the situation in the palace is. I think that with her appearance, she will be able to get a good marriage. At that time, the Madam will have endless blessings.” Seeing Xiao Meili’s unhappy expression, Concubine Wu quickly changed the topic. Xiao Meili finally relaxed and smiled. “My son and daughter have grown up. As their mother, I don’t have the final say. Whether they are good or bad, it all depends on her own fate.”

“You don’t have a son,” Jiang Shan said indifferently. Since she did not have a son, why would she talk about her ‘son’? She could just talk about her daughter!
