165 The Family Dinner Is Really Interesting

Xiao Meili thought, ‘No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak.’

“Sons and daughters are the same. It’s more troublesome to raise a daughter, but I’m much happier. The older a daughter is, the more considerate she is,” Xiao Meili said with a smile. The other concubines also agreed. They had no choice. They all had a daughter. If they spoke up for Xiao Meili, they would be helping themselves gain face.

Jiang Shan looked at Xiao Meili. “You don’t have a son, so of course, you won’t experience the joy of raising a son. Without a reference, you can only say that it’s good to raise a daughter. You’re just being silly.” Jiang Shan felt that a daughter should be someone like his sister, Jiang Xi. Then they would be a really caring little girl. Someone like Zhao Panpan was better off.

Xiao Meili could not hold it in anymore, and she glared at Jiang Shan with daggers in her eyes. Unfortunately, Jiang Shan could not see the killing intent in her eyes and looked at Xiao Meili with sympathy. What a miserable person she was. She would never experience the joy of raising a son.

Zhao Yingying watched from the side and laughed so hard that she almost fainted. How could Jiang Shan be so cute? She was already happy that her sister-in-law could control Xiao Meili. She did not expect Jiang Shan to be able to control Xiao Meili as well. This was double the happiness!

!!

“Third brother, don’t always tell the truth. Madam Xiao is our elder. Don’t be so direct when you talk to her. Be more tactful.” Jiang Xi glared at Jiang Shan. Jiang Shan shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.

Xiao Meili’s expression softened when she saw that Jiang Xi criticizing Jiang Shan. However, she did not expect Jiang Xi’s next sentence. “When I marry into the family in the future and have a few sons, Madam Xiao will still be able to feel the happiness of having sons. So, third brother, don’t be too sure.”

Xiao Meili, “…”

Zhao Ruifeng listened from the side, and the corners of his mouth widened. The teacup almost could not cover his mouth. This was his first time attending a family banquet, and it was also his first time seeing his father and Xiao Meili suffer. It was so satisfying! Hehe, which one of these people here was not someone who flattered the strong and stepped on the weak? Every year on his mother’s death anniversary, these people were the happiest. It seemed that this was the only way to prove that they were not the most tragic ones. There were even more tragic ones who were at the bottom.

Xiao Meili did not say a word. Concubine Yuan took a sip of tea and suddenly felt her throat itch. She coughed, and her voice sounded a little rough.

Concubine Yuan did not take this matter to heart. She thought that it might be because of the cold wind and her throat was uncomfortable. She would go back and ask the doctor to prescribe two doses of medicine to recuperate. She did not want to lose her good voice. When in bed, Marquis Zhao loved her soft moans the most.

In the second half of the family banquet, everyone was extremely quiet. Jiang Xi was very satisfied. “Everyone, eat and drink well. The most important thing for a family is to be happy and united. When I married into the family in the future, there will be many opportunities to get to know each other.” Jiang Xi was sitting in a chair. Although she was a guest, she had a domineering aura about her. Behind her, Zhao Yingying’s eyes had long been starry, and her face was full of admiration. Her sister-in-law was a real boss! Awesome!

Regardless of what other people thought, Jiang Xi enjoyed the dinner at the Zhao family’s house very much. She had always had a strong interest in the harem of ancient times. Now that she was going to marry into it and experience it for herself, it was necessary to be excited. However, whether the Zhao family was happy or not was none of her business.

“I’ll come again at the next family banquet. I think your residence is lively and fun.” Jiang Xi was all smiles. Zhao Ruifeng, on the other hand, felt that the next time Jiang Xi came to the family banquet, these concubines might have to pretend to be sick and not dare to come.

Wu Tielong had been waiting outside the Zhao residence. When he saw Jiang Xi coming out, he quickly went up to greet her. They were about to return to the Jiang residence when they suddenly heard the clattering of a carriage coming from the street.

“May I know which one of you is Miss Jiang Xi? The empress hasn’t seen Miss Jiang Xi for many days and misses you very much. She would like to invite you to the palace for a visit.” The head palace maid beside the empress said with a cold expression.

Zhao Ruifeng frowned, “Can’t we talk about it tomorrow? The sky is already dark.” It was not appropriate for a man like him to go to the harem at night. He was also worried about letting Jiang Xi go to the harem alone. Moreover, Jiang Xi had saved Fang Yu some time ago and offended the empress.

Although the palace had already sent people to stop the rumors of Fang Yu’s being buried alive, there were still many rumors. They said that the empress had always liked Zhao Panpan and wanted her to become the crown princess. The reason Fang Yu had been buried alive was that she was in the empress’ way.
