But if there was one, there would be another.
Yi Xiao sent concubines to the backyard one after another, but none of them were pregnant. Over time, Yi Xiao gave up the idea of marrying a concubine, and the first madam felt much less guilty. The problem of her not being able to get pregnant was Yi Xiao, not her.
Although Yi Xiao also had women after that, they were all nameless. None of them were like Jiujiu.
Even the previous concubines were not like Jiujiu. Yi Xiao personally ordered people to prepare clothes for her and let her choose a maid for her. It could be seen that Yi Xiao took Jiujiu seriously.
The first madam used to indulge those concubines because she knew that no matter what, Yi Xiao didn't take them seriously. But now.
Looking at Jiujiu's young face, the first madam felt uncertain for the first time.
Right now, she was already a woman whose face had aged, but Jiujiu was still in the prime of her youth. Her skin was as soft as a flower petal, and her face had the youthfulness and tenderness of a young girl. What made the Eldest Madam jealous the most was the faint blush on Jiujiu's cheeks. With one look, it was clear that she had just been fiercely pampered.
Such a young and beautiful woman, who was doted on by Yi Xiao, would naturally have a big heart after a long time.
And the human heart was the easiest thing to lose control of. A man's heart was not content, and it was not like these things had never happened before.
The first madam looked at Jiujiu, picked up her handkerchief to cover the corner of her mouth, and chuckled. Her voice was as soft as the spring breeze. "You must be the new sister."
The first madam opened her mouth, and the third concubine, who claimed to be the most favored and arrogant, took over.
The third concubine first looked at Jiujiu with a picky face. After a while, she frowned and said unhappily, "You don't know how to salute the first madam. You are indeed a wild girl from the countryside. You have no manners."
Yi Xiao had many concubines, but most of them were young ladies from big families. Jiujiu was definitely the first one who was favored from the fishing village.
The third concubine liked to be the best in everything. Because of her good family background and beauty, she was favored by Yi Xiao. She was even more eloquent. Even the first madam had to retreat. Therefore, she directly used Jiujiu's family background to make an issue of it.
As soon as the third concubine said this, the corners of the first madam's eyes couldn't help but curve. It was the right choice to bring the third concubine. She didn't spend a single soldier, and the third concubine and Jiujiu another fight.
Jiujiu raised her eyelids and glanced at the five people sitting in the room.
The first was the first madam, followed by the third concubine, the fourth concubine, the sixth concubine, and the eighth concubine. The one who spoke was the third concubine.
The third concubine liked to be the best in everything. When she knew that Hu Mei was pregnant, she wanted to give Hu Mei medicine to abort Hu Mei's child. If it weren't for Yi Xiao's attention, Hu Mei's child would have been killed by the third concubine.
Not only that, but he also directly attacked his background. It was rare to see such a sharp and unkind person.
Jiujiu glanced at the third concubine and then looked at the first madam sitting at the head of the table.
The first madam was not particularly good-looking. At least, she was slightly weaker than the other concubines. Moreover, because she was old, no matter how much she took care of herself, there were still fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Sitting with these young and beautiful concubines, she looked even older.
However, the first madam and Yi Xiao were young couples. As long as she didn't do anything evil, her status as the first madam was definitely very stable.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and bowed to Yi Xiao. "Greetings, first madam. Greetings, all the concubines."
Jiujiu's voice was clear and crisp. If one listened carefully, they could hear a trace of hoarseness. Last night, Yi Xiao had just come to Jiujiu, and her voice was hoarse. What did this mean?
How fierce was the battle last night that Jiujiu's voice could be hoarse? At the thought of Yi Xiao's love for Jiujiu, even the first madam, who had always boasted that she was not jealous, could not help but clench the handkerchief in her hand. Everyone spat in their hearts.
This shameless little slut.
Because she was angry, the first madam pretended not to see that Jiujiu was still bowing. She only turned her head to talk to the third concubine.
After hearing Jiujiu's words just now, the third concubine wanted to tear Jiujiu into pieces. The first madam wanted to teach Jiujiu a lesson, so the third concubine naturally watched the show the whole time.
Jiujiu had been tormented by Yi Xiao for most of the night last night. Today, before she could rest, the first madam had come over aggressively with a group of people. Jiujiu's back was sore, and there was no part of her body that was comfortable. Now, the first madam wanted to teach her a lesson, but it also depended on whether Jiujiu was willing or not.
Jiujiu came here to seduce Yi Xiao as a little vixen, not to please the first madam and the others.
Yi Xiao was in power, and only Yi Xiao liked her. Even if she rode on the head of the first madam, Yi Xiao would not say anything. Therefore, Jiujiu was too lazy to waste her time arguing with the first madam.
Since the first madam did not ask her to get up, she would get up by herself.
Jiujiu stood up by herself.
Just now, when Jiujiu bent down and bowed, the first madam and the other concubines pretended not to see it. Now that Jiujiu stood up by herself, they immediately questioned her.
The third concubine directly said in a sarcastic tone, "You really come from a small family. You're really uneducated. Who asked you to get up?"
When the third concubine spoke harshly, the first madam immediately put on a tolerant smile and said to Jiujiu kindly, "Third sister is outspoken. Sister, don't mind her."
Outspoken? Tsk tsk, wasn't that what the third concubine said?
The first madam had a face like the Empress Dowager's, but she always said something to add insult to injury.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled gently, revealing two beautiful dimples at the corners of her mouth. She looked at the first madam and said, "Although I'm from a small family, I still know what I should know. There are also people like the third madam in our village who say anything. I've long been used to it. Don't worry, madam. I won't mind."
As soon as Jiujiu said this, the third madam's face instantly turned ugly. She wanted to open her mouth and scold her, but if she said it again, wouldn't she really be the person who said anything like Jiujiu?
However, the third madam was very unwilling to swallow her anger.
However, if she opened her mouth, it would be implemented. If she didn't open her mouth, she would suffer in silence. After thinking about it, in the end, the third concubine could only grit her teeth and suffer in silence.
The first madam didn't expect that Jiujiu would refute the third madam as soon as she opened her mouth. She was speechless for a moment. She had thought that the person from the small fishing village was at most a shrew. Who knew that she was not only good-looking but also smart? The most important thing was that she was sharp-tongued and scolded people without spilling blood. As soon as she opened her mouth, the third concubine, who had always refuted everything, couldn't fight back.
