222 Quite a Big Change

However, the tailor had a good eye and would not tell the customer that she was fat or ugly. He only praised Xiao Meili’s fair skin and said that she would look better in clothes now that she was more plump. Xiao Meili, who had been nervous, smiled.

“Madam, you’ve always been the role model in our circle of noble ladies in Jing City. I’m afraid you’re going to lead everyone to follow the trend again.” The tailor of Jinyi Pavilion smiled and measured Xiao Meili with a ruler. Well, her waist had gained three inches, her thighs had gained a finger and a half, her arms had gained weight, her face had become greasy, and she had double chins… ‘Oh my God, what did this Madam Xiao eat?’

The tailor of Jinyi Pavilion secretly facepalmed. Who in Jing City did not know that Marquis Zhao favored women with soft figures and sweet words? The Zhao residence’s concubines were all found according to this standard, but now? Everything was reversed. He felt that there was some kind of terrifying power hidden under the muscles of the Zhao concubines, waiting for it to burst out one day… Er, these concubines would not domestic abuse Marquis Zhao, right? There were so many women in the residence. If they really fought, it would be terrible. Marquis Zhao would be ravaged.

“The Zhao family’s concubines have changed a lot,” the tailor said casually.

“Yes, Marquis Zhao loves this.” Xiao Meili did not mind. She was annoyed by those concubines

The tailor paused. He really wanted to ask, how long had Marquis Zhao not returned? Did he know that the woman in his harem had become like this? Would he regret taking in so many concubines? He felt that he had found out something big…

Marquis Zhao was still hanging out with his female confidants outside. He had not returned to the Zhao residence for almost two months, and no one had come to ask him about it. This made the other men very envious.

“Marquis Zhao, your concubines are truly wise. In Jing City, the only person who can manage a harem without any complaints is you, lord marquis.” Jiang Si smiled as he gave Marquis Zhao a toast. Marquis Zhao’s mouth was curled into a smile. He most admired gentle and refined scholars like Jiang Si.

“The concubines in the family are all well-mannered and sensible. Why should the women care so much about the matters of men’s families?” Zhao Hongwei squinted his eyes and sipped his wine in satisfaction. He was lying on a soft couch with a beautiful woman playing the piano beside him.

“The marquis is so powerful, but it’s a pity that General Zhao… Sigh, it’s a good thing that my sister, Jiang Xi, has a tough life and has to spend the rest of her life with General Zhao. It’s just that General Zhao has been wronged. He’s a great general and a favored official of the dynasty, but he can only marry a village girl like my sister.” Jiang Si made another toast.

Zhao Hongwei paused. “What’s wrong with it? He’s just a boorish man who knows nothing but how to play with knives and guns. I’ll only be at ease if he’s as good as you. You’re the most popular student in Jing City this time. Even that old man from the Xiao family thinks highly of you. It’d be great if you weren’t married. I have more than 20 daughters, and they’ll be even better for you.” Zhao Hongwei said enviously. He was a self-proclaimed scholar, so he naturally admired refined young people like Jiang Si. The Xiao family could be considered Xiao Meili’s maiden family, but Xiao Meili’s mother’s status was not high. She had been raised outside, so Xiao Meili’s status was not recognized by the Xiao family. It was only after Xiao Meili married into the Zhao family and became the first wife that they regained contact with the Xiao family. Now that Zhao Panpan had entered the palace and was the Pure Consort, the Xiao family was even more eager to curry favor with her.

Jiang Si pursed his lips. He was filled with regret. If only Song Yun was dead. He had been in Jing City for so long, but he had not even seen her once.

“The marquis is too kind. I probably don’t have the good fortune. My wife is not as well-mannered as yours. If I take in concubines, my wife would probably beat me until I’m disabled.” Jiang Si revealed a bitter smile.

Zhao Hongwei frowned, feeling a little sorry for Jiang Si. He had been surrounded by women all his life and had seen many gentle and considerate women, but he had never seen a woman who was vulgar and violent.

“After you become the top scorer, you can marry another wife. You’ve been married for so long and you still don’t have any children. Your wife is unfilial to her in-laws and will not serve her husband. Divorce her.” Zhao Hongwei waved his hand and did not care at all. He was a playboy, but he was also heartless. Otherwise, the Zhao family would not have so many women. He even watched Zhao Ruifeng’s mother, Madam Xue, die of anger.
