115 The People of Jing City Are Really Interesting
After lunch, Zhao Ruifeng sent Jiang Xi back to the Happy Village.
Along the way, Zhao Ruifeng kept glancing at Jiang Xi. When Jiang Xi looked at him, he quickly looked away with an extremely serious look.
...“Don’t worry, i don’t have any other women by my side, and I won’t have multiple wives like my father. In the future, after we get married and become a family, you can do whatever you want. It’s just that you’ll probably have to suffer for a while in the Zhao family.” Zhao Ruifeng looked at Jiang Xi seriously and said, ” I have 28 younger sisters now. I don’t need to worry about the other younger sisters. My stepmother, Xiao Meili, has two daughters. The eldest daughter is Zhao Panpan, you’ve already met her. In two months, she will participate in the imperial selection. If everything goes well, she will become the crown prince’s concubine. Xiao Meili also has a younger daughter. She is 12 years old this year. She is still young. She…”
Zhao Ruifeng paused for a moment, then continued, “When my mother passed away, Xiao Meili brought the four-year-old Zhao Yingying into the Zhao family because she was pregnant… Xiao Meili’s younger daughter was a sharp-tongued girl, but her father doted on her very much, so no one in the Zhao family dared to say anything about her.
Zhao Ruifeng’s thin lips were tightly pursed. He could never forgive them in this life.
“My mother died from anger! You don’t need to flatter any of them!” Zhao Ruifeng clenched his fists tightly.
Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment. When she saw that Zhao Ruifeng’s determined face had a hint of weakness, she could not help but feel moved. She covered Zhao Ruifeng’s cold palm with her soft hand and said, “There’s always retribution. Do you believe in that? ” He had been suffering for more than twenty years, probably just to meet Jiang Xi.
“On the day my father and my stepmother got married, I dug up my mother’s grave in the heavy rain and carried my mother’s body into their new house. So many years have passed, where do you think my retribution is? Their daughter, Zhao Panpan, is about to marry the crown prince and become his concubine. In the future, when the crown prince inherits the throne, Zhao Panpan will be a noble consort, not to mention…” Zhao Ruifeng pursed his lips. Two days ago, he heard that the crown princess had suddenly fallen seriously ill. If the crown princess had really died, then Zhao Panpan would definitely be the crown princess! He had found out that Xiao Meili was behind the crown princess’s illness, but he had not found any evidence.
“Are you sure your sister, Zhao Panpan, wants to marry the crown prince?” Jiang Xi sneered. He felt that some people were trying to shoot themselves in the foot.
“You probably don’t understand, but ever since my stepmother, Xiao Meili, showed up, she has been educating Zhao Panpan according to the palace rules. Especially when she got older, she would enter the palace every few days. The emperor and empress doted on her very much. When Zhao Panpan enters the palace in the future, she will definitely be a noble consort above everyone else.” Zhao Guifeng thought that Jiang Xi did not know about the imperial palace, so he explained to her.
“You’re the one who doesn’t understand.” Jiang Xi patted Zhao Ruifeng’s big hand with a smile. Men would never know that what a woman wanted a moment ago and what she wanted the next moment were probably worlds apart.
“Are all the people who served Zhao Panpan when she was young gone?” Jiang Xi suddenly asked.
Zhao Ruifeng instantly turned his head and looked at her in surprise, “How do you know? Although I didn’t know about Xiao Meili and Zhao Panpan’s existence at the time, I did some research after I grew up. Zhao Panpan’s nurse and servant girls were all replaced.” Not a single one was left. He could not find a single clue even after investigating for a long time. No matter how much time had passed, there would still be some clues left behind. However, there were no clues at all regarding Xiao Meili and Zhao Panpan’s matter.
“Your stepmother is much more courageous than you think,” Jiang Xi chuckled. therefore, it was not a big deal for Xiao Meili to anger Zhao Ruifeng’s mother to death. Jing City was really interesting.
Zhao Ruifeng sent Jiang Xi back to Happy Village. On the way, Jiang Xi asked about many things in Jing City in detail, and it seemed that she was quite interested in Jing City.
“I think you people from Jing City are really scheming.” Jiang Xi said with a smile. Those people were crazy and bold when they played.
The corner of Zhao Ruifeng’s mouth twitched. He did not know whether Jiang Xi’s words were a compliment or a mockery.
“By the way, you can go to Jing City any day, but don’t pick the 17th of August. We have to eat vegetarian food and go to the grave to burn incense.” Jiang Xi waved his hand. Every year on the 17th of August, Yang Fen would go crazy. She would be rude to everyone, and Jiang Xi did not know why.
