My Wife is a Psychic

Chapter 162 - 162 New Concubine

162 New Concubine

“Someone, make Mei’er’s chair a little softer. This chair is too hard. Her waist will hurt if I sit on it for too long.” The swelling on Zhao Hongwei’s face had already gone down. Right now, his face was as suave as the rumors said. No wonder he could attract so many women to willingly enter his residence and bear his children. Although the concubines hated Zhao Hongwei for bringing women home, they also hoped to be doted on by Zhao Hongwei. They were once unique in Zhao Hongwei’s heart.

“What time is it already, and you still need Lord Marquis to personally invite you over? Since you’ve entered the Zhao family, you must understand the rules of the Zhao family.” Xiao Meili sat on the main seat and reprimanded the new concubine with a serious face. When Xiao Meili first got married, she also liked to dress gently and beautifully. However, as the first wife, she needed to be calm and dignified, so her makeup and clothes were more serious and dignified, which was what Zhao Hongwei really disliked.

“Xiao Meili, you’re being too serious. Mei’er is pregnant now. Isn’t it normal to wake up a little later?” Zhao Hongwei helped his new concubine, Mei ‘er, sit down and poured her a glass of water. He then instructed the maidservant behind him, “Tea is not very good for pregnant people. You have to be careful in serving them in the future.”

This one sentence made the eyes of the other concubines in the residence turn red.

“Lord Marquis, you are truly considerate. When I was pregnant, I did not see you so nervous. There are so many sisters in the residence, but no one has ever enjoyed such treatment.” The twelfth concubine was the youngest and also had a very delicate appearance. At this time, her complaints were like coquettishness, and it would not make people feel disgusted.

!!

The new concubine, Mei’er, was holding a cup of clear water. She did not even look at the crowd. Her otherworldly appearance made one’s teeth itch.

“Mei’er is from the Northern Border. She has no family in Jing City, so it’s natural to take care of her. Speaking of which, I remember that you, Xiao Meili, are also from the Northern Border. That’s good. You two can get along well and take care of each other in the residence.” Zhao Hongwei’s eyes lit up as he clapped his hands and laughed.

Xiao Meili’s lips curled into a cold smile.

When Jiang Xi heard this, she also lowered her eyes. She was afraid that her future father-in-law was not very smart to let them communicate and get along well.

“Thank you, Sister Meili. I’m from the Northern Border’s Xin City. How about you?” Mei’er put down her cup and glanced at Xiao Meili.

Xiao Meili was startled and felt a little annoyed. “When I was young, I stayed in Xin City for a few years. Later, my whole family moved.” Xiao Meili did not want to talk about the Northern Border anymore, so she immediately changed the topic and said to Zhao Hongwei, “Lord Marquis, Miss Jiang Xi, and Zhao Ruifeng’s marriage is set to be after the new year. How about we discuss the specific time when Panpan returns? ” She looked at Zhao Hongwei. Zhao Hongwei had always been a frivolous man since he was young. Xiao Meili thought that she would be the one to change him, but what happened? Now that she thought about it, she was afraid that every concubine in the residence thought the same, thinking that she could change him.

Seeing that the topic had shifted to her, Jiang Xi stood up and bowed to Zhao Hongwei graciously. This made Zhao Hongwei a little satisfied. For someone like him who had seen countless women, he actually did not like girls like Jiang Xi. Firstly, she had no talent, secondly, she was not charming, and thirdly, she had no family background. Among all the women in the room, he felt that Jiang Xi was the worst.

“Get up. Since you’ll be marrying into the Zhao family, we won’t treat you badly. Your marriage with Zhao Ruifeng was bestowed by the emperor, and it’s your first time in Jing City. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask Xiao Meili. She’s the matriarch of the Zhao family, so you can treat her like your own mother.” Although Marquis Zhao did not directly say that he was not satisfied with Jiang Xi, his attitude was cold and aloof.

Jiang Xi smiled but did not reply. Treating Xiao Meili like her own mother? She would have killed Xiao Meili long ago.

“Yes, after I marry into the family, I will definitely respect my mother-in-law. I will burn three joss sticks every morning and evening, and I will definitely not pass them to anyone else,” Jiang Xi said indifferently. This mother was, of course, referring to Zhao Ruifeng’s dead biological mother. She did not care about Xiao Meili’s gloomy expression. Zhao Hongwei’s expression also became a little dull. In his opinion, Jiang Xi’s behavior was an act of ignorance. He hated it when people talked about Xiao Meili’s marriage to him and the death of Zhao Ruifeng’s mother.

It involved Zhao Ruifeng’s mother, so everyone in the room was very quiet. Only Jiang Xi was still there, saying, “I often heard Zhao Ruifeng say that my mother-in-law was educated and reasonable. She was the model of a lady in Jing City. Even after she died, her bones were whiter than ordinary people’s. When I marry into the Zhao family in the future, I will definitely learn from my mother-in-law and set her as a role model.”
