Chapter 320 The First Branch of the Zhen Family
"You should also watch your mouth. We are the ones who benefited, so you shouldn't say anything more. If the second son's family makes a fuss, it will be a huge embarrassment."
The Emperor and all the ministers are now at the Zhen family's residence. Do you want others to laugh at our family? Do you have no respect for our family's reputation?
Seeing her aggressive demeanor, Zhen Chenhao lectured her.
The first wife saw his face darken and her temper flared up. It was unreasonable that the slut outside would give her such a hard time, and now her own husband was giving her the same attitude back in the house.
"What? Can't I, as the eldest sister-in-law, say a few words?"
“I didn’t say you can’t say it, but you should open your eyes and look at the current situation. It’s good to send Jinxiu to the palace for your younger sister to raise, so she won’t learn to be spoiled and willful from you.”
Zhen Chenhao was really having a headache. His wife was always willful and capricious. If she really angered the second wife and others found out and spread rumors, it would be a disgrace to the Zhen family.
"I'm willful and capricious! It's not the time for you to come to my house to ask for my hand in marriage anymore, and now you're saying this!"
"It's all because those vixens outside have blinded you! Let me tell you, your father said the Emperor is currently at the Zhen family's residence, and he's warning you to keep your distance. You mustn't touch those filthy things!"
The first wife was furious! This wasn't just pointing at his face and scolding him for being incompetent and immoral, and for being unable to raise his daughter.
"Look at what you're saying! It's just a few idle words, and you're making such a fuss."
Zhen Chenhao could only try to appease her for now. This lady had never had a sense of the bigger picture, and he didn't want to really alarm anyone.
"Just kidding, pshaw! You're really telling the truth, aren't you?"
You've been blinded by those other women. Let me tell you, I bore children for the Zhen family, and no matter who you ask, I have done nothing wrong.
But you, Master Zhen, are different. I pressed you again and again in the courtyard, but you still took the money and bought two concubines. Even so, you were not satisfied and still went out to seek pleasure with other women.
You still talk about being virtuous and self-disciplined in public? Aren't you afraid people will laugh their heads off?
Zhen Chenhao's gaze towards Madam Zhen seemed to be venomous. Madam Zhen was not afraid of him. She had a son and a daughter to rely on. Her son was promising, and her daughter was even more remarkable. This man could not possibly control her.
Zhen Chenhao pointed at Madam Zhen with trembling fingers, truly regretting that he had listened to his father and married this vicious woman in order to gain the support of his father-in-law's family.
"Women and petty men are difficult to deal with!"
Zhen Chenhao turned to leave.
"Where are you going? Do you intend to go find that little vixen? Let me tell you, the Emperor and the others are all here now. You secretly acquired those two concubines for the sake of your good reputation. But outside, you, Master Zhen, only have one wife."
Zhen Chenhao slammed the door.
"I'm going to sleep in the study."
"Pah, what a piece of trash! Trying to show off, doesn't he even know how many legs he has?"
Madam Zhen felt she had gained the upper hand this time, and lay down in a good mood. She pondered to herself, since her husband valued his reputation so much, could she take advantage of the Emperor's presence at the Zhen family home to secretly deal with that little slut Hongmei?
Liu Ye, who had two concubines, was sensible enough to accept being fed, even if she wasn't favored.
Hongmei's little vixen is alluring and seductive, with a foxy look on her face. She's the kind of woman who knows how to seduce men and is never settled.
The more Madam Zhen thought about it, the better it seemed. In order to avoid attracting attention, these two concubines were now disguised as maids. Since they were maids, she could do with them as she pleased.
