221 Why Is She So Fat?
“Madam, do you think that the marquis will be very happy to see us paying our respects to you every day and serving you every day? Why don’t you ask the marquis if he is satisfied?” Concubine Wu raised her head slightly, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Xiao Meili laughed when she heard this, “Didn’t the marquis often not return to the residence for half a month? Are you targeting me now? Do you want me to call the marquis back so that you little hunchbacks can fight for his favor?” Xiao Meili chuckled and was about to start mocking them when she saw the concubines in front of her shaking.
“No, no. Madam has misunderstood.” Concubine Wu immediately raised her hands and shook them vigorously. ‘Don’t say it! The devil is sitting right in front of you! We’re going to die, we’re going to die!’ The other concubines’ hearts were like dead ashes. After looking at each other, they all got up and placed the food in front of them in front of Xiao Meili. ‘Eat, eat until you can’t take it, and ask the marquis to come back!’
Xiao Meili had also heard about it recently, but she was not sure about the details. Seeing the state of the concubines, she thought that Jiang Xi must have made them suffer. Xiao Meili was so happy that she wanted to laugh out loud. Since she was in a good mood, she decided to waste time with the concubines! Even if she was full, she won’t invite Zhao Hongwei back. She would just watch Jiang Xi kill them all!
No matter what, Xiao Meili refused to invite Zhao Hongwei back to the residence, and the concubines kept pestering her. Every morning, before dawn, they would go to Xiao Meili’s courtyard to pay their respects. In order to prevent outsiders from gossiping, Xiao Meili also woke up early.
The concubines appeared on time for three meals a day, and Xiao Meili forced herself to eat. In any case, she did not want to invite Zhao Hongwei back! The two sides were in a stalemate!
“There’s finally someone who can deal with them!” Xiao Meili had put on a lot of weight these few days. After taking a sip of hot tea, her eyes were full of excitement. She usually did not dare to treat the concubines like this, and Zhao Hongwei quarreled with her a lot because of this.
The servant girl glanced at Xiao Meili and did not dare to say anything. Xiao Meili and the concubines were like dogs biting each other.
“Mother, mother, my clothes are too small. I want to go to the Brocade Pavilion to make new clothes.” The younger daughter hugged Xiao Meili’s arm and tried to please her.
“Yes, our Shanshan is already a big girl. It’s time to make some clothes. Your sister is the pure consort, so our Shanshan has to dress more beautifully.” Xiao Meili smiled and asked someone to invite the people from the Brocade Pavilion to come over.
Brocade Pavilion was a well-known clothing shop in Jing City. They only made clothes for powerful people. They did not produce many clothes in a year, but each piece was of high quality. The concubines in this residence also had a rare big holiday, and all of them were looking forward to it. Women had always been interested in clothes and jewelry.
In the past, the people of the Brocade Pavilion had often customized clothes for the people in the Zhao residence. However, in just a month, the people in the residence seemed to have changed.
“All the concubines look much thinner, but their spirits are quite good.” The Master of Brocade Pavilion was surprised. Why were the Zhao concubines so muscular and more capable? Could it be that Marquis Zhao’s taste had changed?
The concubines laughed. However, in the past, they would lower their heads and smile lightly, and they had to use their hands to cover them. Now, they just laughed and patted their chests like a man. This style was clearly taught by Jiang Xi.
“Oh right, tomorrow, get someone to open up the courtyard we’re staying in. We can even practice martial arts together at night.” Concubine Wan casually rolled up her sleeves to her elbow and casually waved it. A few of the concubines nodded their heads. This was indeed much more convenient. They did not seem to remember how much effort they had put in a month ago to fight for Zhao Hongwei’s favor just to let Zhao Hongwei stay a little longer.
“What if the marquis returns?” Concubines Yuan asked.
“I’ll make a small courtyard for him to live in,” someone answered casually. The Young Madam had said that to deal with men, one had to play hard to get. Only then would their relationship last. They had all been brainwashed by Jiang Xi, and their feelings for Zhao Hongwei had faded.
When the Master of Brocade Pavilion walked into Xiao Meili’s courtyard and saw a slightly chubby woman sitting in the middle of the courtyard, basking in the sun, he looked as if he had seen a ghost. Although Xiao Meili was still a beauty even after she put on weight, did she eat pig feed? How did she get so fat?
