Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 17 Don't bend over (2)
"I know, big brother. Ruo Niang just thinks that the fifth aunt and the others are the daughters of the first branch, and they disdain me. Why should I hang around in front of them and let them bully me? When I fell into the water, I made a In a very long dream, a fairy said to me, man, if you don’t bend your back, others will not be able to step on you. Big brother, I don’t want to bend my back to the fifth aunt and the others again. Big brother, I want to be myself.”

Zheng Jinxiao stared at her blankly, unable to speak for a while.

"Brother, you can't bend your back either. There's nothing wrong with us being descendants of concubines, but we don't need to depend on their direct descendants to live."

After a long while, Zheng Jinxiao showed an embarrassed smile.

"Brother wanted to vent your anger on you, but you taught him a lesson."

"Ruo Niang, Ruo Niang." Many young ladies suddenly poured in at the door, all of them were the daughters of concubines, cousins ​​of Zheng Ruo.As soon as they came in, they greeted Zheng Jinxiao one after another.Zheng Jinxiao couldn't stay any longer, so she told Zheng Ruo to rest well, and left with all the sisters-in-law.

"Ruo Niang, I heard that you went to see Wang Jiulang last night?"

"Ruo Niang, did you really beat the fifth aunt today?"

"Ruo Niang, does Wang Jiulang really look like a fairy in a painting?"

"Ruo Niang, did the Patriarch punish you?"

The sisters-in-law asked questions in one go, some asked her about seeing Wang Jiulang last night, and some asked about her argument with Zheng Wan this morning.Everyone was very curious, surrounded Zheng Ruo, hoping she could answer them one by one.

Zheng Ruo smiled lightly and raised her hands, the sisters-in-law immediately calmed down and looked at her.

"Sisters and sisters, if you just recovered from a serious illness, you are really tired. Please go back first, and if you come to talk about it some other day."

The enthusiasm of the sisters-in-law was poured down by her, and all of them showed dissatisfaction.

Zheng Ruo gave them a salute after finishing speaking, and stepped back into the room stepping on wooden clogs, leaving behind the sisters-in-law who looked astonished.

"What is this? We came to see her out of kindness..."

"That's right, is it really amazing when you are rescued from the water by Wang Jiulang?"

"She beat my fifth aunt today, I think she will suffer a lot in the future."

"Yes, yes."

Zheng Ruo asked Liu Xu to close the door.

"Girl, isn't this good?" Liu Xu hesitated.

"Liu Xu, I have a headache." Zheng Ruo said, already lying down on the bed.

What's wrong with that?Back then when Father had no choice but to marry her to Shi Yue, the group of people outside laughed at her to the fullest. Later, when they became rich, these people came to flatter him one by one.

Even today, under the guise of visiting a sick person, how many people really care about themselves?
After Zheng Wan returned to her courtyard, she heard that her father had just sent a scribe to reprimand Zheng Ruo. In a fit of rage, she brandished a whip and beat to death a maid serving close by.For a moment, all the servants in her yard were silent.

"Aru, why did I suffer such a big grievance, but Father just let someone reprimand that lowly maid?"

Zheng Ru lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said with some uncertainty: "Could it be because of Lord Sheriff?"

"Aru, I don't care who Father is for, if I don't let this bad breath out, how will I raise my head in the mansion in the future?" Zheng Wan raised her head and said viciously.

"What sister said is very true." Zheng Ru looked at her and said, "However, she went to Xie's mansion last night and met Wang Jiulang. people's resentment."

"Aru, what are you afraid of those people? The Wang family and the Xie family are big families, and our Zheng family is not bad."

"Sister, our Zheng family is not bad, but it's only in the west of Liaoning. It's still a little worse than Wang Xie's family." Zheng Ru smiled, "Besides, sister, don't you want to marry Wang Xie?" Is Jiulang already? Although we are the daughters of the direct branch, we are still inferior to the Zheng family in Xingyang." As she spoke, a dreamy color appeared on her face, as if Wang Jiulang was right in front of her.

"Sister, even if I become Wang Jiulang's concubine, I am willing."

Thinking of Wang Jiulang, Zheng Wan's arrogance dissipated a bit, and like Zheng Ru, she smirked and said, "Wang Jiulang looks like an exiled immortal, and being able to be his concubine is also a blessing."

The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, thinking of Zheng Ruo going to see Wang Jiulang alone last night, they felt angry again.

"Aru, what kind of madness did you say she saw Wang Jiulang late at night? How could she be so shameless?"

"Sister, in my opinion, when someone like Wang Jiulang saw her, he must have scolded her severely. How is her behavior different from those lowly singing girls?"

"I think so. Jiulang saved her that day because he was noble, not because he was fascinated by her."

"It really embarrasses us to have such an aunt in our Zheng family."

Twins, you were happy with what you said, and a maid walked in tremblingly, and said, "Ma'am, the Xie Mansion sent someone to send an invitation card."

The two were overjoyed, Zheng Wan jumped up and said, "Did someone send it to Wang Jiulang?"

The maid shook her head and said, "It was sent by Mr. Xie's family."

"No matter who it is, Xie Sanlang is as good as Jiulang, Jiulang must be with him. Quickly bring me the post." Zheng Wan said.

The maid shrank back, took a step back subconsciously, and said cowardly: "Miss Hui, the post is for ten aunts."

"For Ruoniang?" Zheng Wan exclaimed, and Zheng Ru was also dumbfounded.

"Why did you give it to her?" Zheng Wan took a step forward and grabbed the maid by the collar, shouting loudly.

The maid's legs trembled, she knelt on the ground, and kowtowed frequently, "I don't know, I don't know. I got the news and came to tell the girl."

"Zheng Ruo! Why is she against me everywhere?" Zheng Wan turned around and took down the whip from the wall, and rushed outside.When Zheng Ru saw this, although she felt a little resentful and jealous.But seeing Zheng Wan rushing out like this, if someone from the Xie family bumps into her and hears it to Xie Sanlang and Wang Jiulang, what will happen?She also hurriedly followed.
