Chapter 432: Concubine of Jingnan Marquis's Mansion 3
"Okay, let's all go!" Seeing Jiang Chunxi's submissive look, Ding Xinhui naturally didn't think of making things difficult for her.
After watching Jiang Chunxi and her group bow and leave, her face darkened: "She really looks a lot like that bitch, my elder sister! I didn't expect that my elder sister has been dead for so many years, but now a woman who looks so much like her appears to add to my bet."
"By the way," Ding Xinhui looked at Zi Ling and said, "I hope that bitch Aunt Jiang drank the contraceptive soup that Aunt You brought!"
Drinking contraceptive soup is not unique to Jiang Chunxi, but all concubines need to drink it after serving the Marquis. After all, even Ding Xinhui herself has to drink it, so how can a concubine give birth to a child?
As for why Ding Xinhui had to drink the contraceptive soup, it was naturally to gain the trust of Marquis Jingnan. After all, she married into the family mainly to raise her eldest sister's two children. Even if she wanted to have children, she had to wait until the two children were older.
After Jiang Chunxi and her group left the main courtyard, Ding Xinhui went to pay her respects to her mother-in-law.
When Ding Xinhui came to the old lady, she hurriedly served her breakfast attentively. It was not that the old lady deliberately tortured her daughter-in-law, but Ding Xinhui insisted on doing so.
In short, the old lady was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
After finishing breakfast, the old lady took the teacup from Ding Xinhui and took a sip, then handed the cup back to Ding Xinhui, wiped her lips with a handkerchief and said, "Feng Ting and Ru Rui are already eight years old, shouldn't you also have a child to give Jin Yu children?"
Feng Ting is the old lady’s grandson, and Rurui is the granddaughter, that is, the pair of children left behind by Ding Xinhui’s elder sister.
"Why don't we wait another two years until Feng Ting and Ru Rui are more sensible, and then I'll consider having a child," Ding Xinhui frowned and said, "I'm afraid that if I get pregnant at this time, Feng Ting and Ru Rui won't be able to accept it, so I'm thinking of waiting another two years until they are more sensible, and then I'll consider having a baby."
"The two children are already eight years old. They understand everything they should understand. Why wait any longer?" the old lady said. "I know you love them as your own, but you are not young anymore. If you don't hurry up and have children, you may not be able to have them."
"After all, no matter how mild the contraceptive soup is, it will still hurt your body. You can't take care of your body just for the sake of your two children's feelings."
"Women! If they can't give birth to children in their lifetime, can they still be considered complete women? Anyway, you listen to me, stop taking the contraceptive soup immediately, take good care of your body, and prepare for pregnancy."
"The daughter-in-law listens to her mother," Ding Xinhui said with a touched look on her face. "It is a blessing for the daughter-in-law to meet such a good mother-in-law as her mother."
"This is what you earned for your filial piety," the old lady was very satisfied with Ding Xinhui's words, but then she thought of something and her face darkened slightly, "Unlike your elder sister, when Jin Yu proposed to marry you, I disagreed in every way, for fear that you would be the same as your elder sister."
"But after you came in, I was extremely glad that Jin Yu insisted on marrying you. I saw how hard you worked in the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion over the years, not to mention that you have always been filial to me. This alone is a hundred times better than your elder sister."
Who as a mother-in-law would like a daughter-in-law who has a firm control over her son's heart and makes her son often talk back to his mother because of his wife, and whose housekeeping is a mess and only knows how to fiddle with music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The most hateful thing is that she cries at the slightest provocation. Sometimes, before her mother-in-law says anything unpleasant, the woman's tears flow like pearls from a broken string, making her seem like an evil mother-in-law.
In short, the old lady could not finish talking about the shortcomings of her previous daughter-in-law and the anger she suffered from her for three days and three nights.
Also because of the contrast with her ex-daughter-in-law, the old lady likes Ding Xinhui as her daughter-in-law even more. How can these two sisters born from the same mother be so different from each other? They are like heaven and earth.
Ding Xinhui's eyes turned red. "Mother, this is the first time a daughter-in-law has heard that her daughter-in-law is a thousand times better than her elder sister. In my mother's family, my parents only had my elder sister as their daughter and ignored me."
"When I was young, I was very jealous of my elder sister, but she was really good to me. As I grew up, my jealousy towards her faded away, and I just thought I had no relationship with her parents. But I didn't expect that things are unpredictable, and my elder sister is gone without a trace."
"I married into the Marquis of Jingnan's mansion to take care of my eldest sister's two children, but I never expected to meet a mother-in-law as good as my mother. So I often think that the grievances I suffered in my parents' home before were only because God wanted to arrange the best mother-in-law for me, so he deliberately let me suffer first and then enjoy the happiness."
"After all, if there is no comparison with her mother's family, how can the daughter-in-law deeply appreciate how good a mother-in-law her mother is?"
"It's the same with mother," the old lady took Ding Xinhui's hand, "If I hadn't experienced a daughter-in-law like your elder sister, how could I have realized how good a daughter-in-law you are? That's why mother is very much looking forward to you giving me a grandson as soon as possible."
Then the old lady let go of Ding Xinhui and said, "By the way, did Aunt Jiang cause any trouble when she came to pay her respects to you this morning? This is the first time that Jin Yu has taken the initiative to take a concubine. I think Aunt Jiang must have some outstanding qualities, otherwise Jin Yu would not have brought her back from Jiangnan and brought her into the mansion as a concubine."
"No, that Aunt Jiang seems to be quite obedient, but..." Ding Xinhui looked embarrassed, as if she didn't know whether she should continue talking.
"Just what?" The old lady's expression became serious. "Could it be that there is something wrong with that concubine Jiang?"
"Alas!" Ding Xinhui sighed helplessly, "That concubine Jiang looks about 70% similar to my elder sister. No wonder Lord Hou brought her back from Jiangnan and brought her into the mansion as a concubine."
As she spoke, Ding Xinhui's eyes became red again. "I'm not jealous, but I feel that the fact that Lord Hou dotes on a woman who looks so much like my sister is a blasphemy to my deceased sister. It blasphemes the relationship between Lord Hou and my sister."
The old lady's face was so ugly now: "Okay, okay, it's really good. Jin Yu thinks that I have been living too comfortably in the past few years, so she deliberately found someone to make things difficult for me."
