My Wife is a Psychic

163 Misjudged

Zhao Hongwei wanted to get angry when Jiang Xi kept talking about Zhao Ruifeng’s dead mother, but then he realized that Jiang Xi was right! The one who had died was Zhao Ruifeng’s biological mother, who was also Jiang Xi’s mother-in-law.

“Miss Jiang Xi, you really have a sharp tongue. Girls should be gentler so that they can be loved by men. Look at all the women in this room, which one of them isn’t gentle and virtuous? Before they married me, they were all role models for women.” Zhao Hongwei was a little proud. Every single one of the concubines in his residence was his confidante. “It’ll be great if all of you can be together and love each other.”

Zhao Ruifeng and Zhao Hongwei could be said to be two extremes. Zhao Hongwei wanted to marry all the women he liked, but Zhao Ruifeng was not greedy. He just wanted a wife.

Just as Zhao Hongwei was feeling proud, Jiang Xi said, “I can’t be compared to these women in the house. They are the role models for concubines, but I am the first wife. There is a difference in status. As for love, it’s me who chose him, not him choosing me, so Zhao Ruifeng’s situation is different from the marquis’.” The unspoken meaning of Jiang Xi’s words was that if she did not like him one day, she could change him, but Zhao Ruifeng, who had been replaced, could only wait to die of bad luck and loneliness.

“No, no, Xixi, we’ve already been engaged, we can’t break the engagement. I’m different from my father. He’s him, and I’m me. You can’t implicate me just because he has a problem.” Zhao Ruifeng quickly tried to get himself out of the situation. He did not want to be implicated in Zhao Hongwei’s nonsense and cause Jiang Xi to have a bad opinion of him.

Zhao Hongwei was speechless. He wanted to help his son teach Jiang Xi a lesson so that she would not be rude when she entered the house. However, not only did his son not appreciate it, he even stepped on him!

Jiang Xi glanced at Zhao Ruifeng, who was in a hurry to explain, and then turned his eyes back to Zhao Hongwei. “Marquis Zhao said that the women in the house are all nice to each other. It’s impossible to see them clearly with just the eyes. I have to wait until I get married before I can carefully experience it.” Jiang Xi smiled sinisterly. The concubines in the room were so frightened that they shivered. In an instant, all the women in the room were suppressed by Jiang Xi.

Zhao Hongwei was a little surprised. Could he have made a mistake? However, upon closer inspection, Jiang Xi was still the soft and harmless-looking little girl from the countryside.

“Forget it. My son is a disappointment. I have nothing to say. You two just live your own lives.” Zhao Hongwei waved his hand dismissively. He felt that there was no need for him to beat Jiang Xi up. Jiang Xi was just a little girl from the countryside. What capabilities could she possibly have? It would be good enough if she could live a good life in Jing City.

Zhao Hongwei, who had misjudged Jiang Xi, did not know that he would soon find out how Jiang Xi would make the women in the residence well-behaved.

Outsiders said that the Zhao family was in chaos, and it could be seen that this was true. How could a concubine eat at the table? In this dynasty, concubines were similar to maidservants. Zhao Hongwei was the only one who felt that he was sincere with every woman, and naively thought these women loved him very much, so they could get along with each other. However, the women in this room might want to kill all the other women except themselves.

Zhao Ruifeng glanced at his father, Zhao Hongwei, and did not comment on his father’s words. However, Jiang Xi was a protective person. She looked at Zhao Hongwei and said, “Lord Marquis, don’t worry. Although my Zhao Ruifeng is disappointing, he has a large number of soldiers in his hands and is still an important official in the court. His Majesty also put him in a slightly better position. No matter how disappointing he is in the future, he will not be like you, Lord Marquis, an idle official who loiters around every day. He will never be as carefree as you in his life.” Hmph, Zhao Hongwei dared to say that her future husband was disappointing. He should take a look at his own status before saying that her husband was disappointing!

Zhao Hongwei was speechless. Why was this daughter-in-law so sarcastic? He did not know why, but he did not think much of Xiao Meili, even when she had angered his original wife to death. However, when he looked at Jiang Xi’s harmless face, he felt as if he was facing a great enemy. He wanted to discuss with Zhao Ruifeng if he could get another wife instead. This daughter-in-law seemed to be a little creepy.

Halfway through the meal, Zhao Hongwei’s new concubine, Mei’er, was already tired. She did not even need to say anything before Zhao Hongwei saw her and said, “It’s tough for Mei’er to be pregnant. Go back and rest early after you’re done eating. You don’t need to accompany me here. I’ll go over to look for you at night. I’ll stay at your place tonight.” Zhao Hongwei wanted to help Mei’er up.
