Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Ye Xiwu's married life was on the right track, but Jiang Xinxin's troubles had just begun.

Jiang Xianxian was originally given by the Grand Princess to the eldest son Ye Lingyu as a concubine. At the beginning, this beautiful woman with a beautiful face and a good figure was indeed popular, and Ye Lingyu had been fond of her for a long time. However, Ye Lingyu was just a young man who had no other way to make money except receiving a monthly salary at home.

At the beginning, when he still liked Jiang Xianxian, he could easily spend more than ten or twenty taels of silver on her. But he also had to go out and make friends, and his monthly allowance was not enough. Now he had to support one more person, and he had also whetted Jiang Xianxian's appetite early on. Gradually, his money became tighter and tighter, and he even began to get tired of Jiang Xianxian.

When Jiang Xianxian had just gained favor, she used the name of the General's Mansion to bring a lot of direct and indirect benefits to the Jiang family. Now, a year and a half has passed, and the Jiang family of more than ten people can actually buy a three-story house in the capital city where every inch of land is valuable. Although it is located in the outer city, it can be regarded as a meteoric rise after all.

Fortunately, Jiang Xianxian was still doing well at that time, and she didn't care about the money in Jiang Xinxin's hands. But now the situation has changed. Jiang Xianxian can no longer cope with the Jiang family's increasingly greedy appetites, so she can only set her sights on Jiang Xinxin.

More than a month after Ye Xiwu's marriage, Jiang Xianxian found a time when Jiang Xinxin was free and took her to the small garden to talk. At this time, everyone in the general's mansion began to prepare for Ye Bingshang's wedding, and everyone was very busy, so they were naturally not afraid of someone eavesdropping.

Jiang Xianxian first said with envy, "I used to think that the old lady assigned me to serve in the eldest master's room. It was my good luck. If I can give birth to a child for the eldest master in the future, I can also become a master myself and help the family."

"But seeing how my sister is doing now, I now understand how difficult it is to be someone's mistress..."

"If only I had chosen the second girl like my sister did that day."

Jiang Xinxin felt nothing at all, and even felt like laughing.

Although Jiang Xianxian was prepared to humble herself and deceive Jiang Xinxin today, she had not lived a good life for more than a year in vain. She had long forgotten how she dressed when she was a maid. She had a silver hairpin inlaid with pearls weighing more than ten taels on her head. If it were made outside, the materials would cost forty or fifty taels, which was enough to support the expenses of a family of five in the capital for two years!

Jiang Xinxin was too lazy to say more to Jiang Xianxian, and just said, "My family and grandparents and my uncle's family separated a long time ago, and you were able to work in the general's mansion because of my mother's favor. Besides, I gave all the ten taels of silver I earned from selling my body to my grandparents. Why, do my grandparents want to snatch me back and sell me again?"

Jiang Xianxian is now considered to be knowledgeable. Even though she has always been a vested interest holder, she feels ashamed and embarrassed when she hears Jiang Xinxin revealing the secrets of their entire family.

But no matter what, she wanted to achieve her wish today, so she anxiously held Jiang Xinxin to stop her from leaving, and kept apologizing: "Sister, you are joking. When the family was divided, it was indeed because my second uncle asked to leave home for the future of our grandparents. This was also a filial act of my second uncle and second aunt, and others could only praise it."

"As for me, it is indeed because of my sister that I was able to enter this general's mansion and enjoy wealth and honor, but sisters should support each other, right?"

Jiang Xinxin was too lazy to listen to Jiang Xianxian's flattering and confusing right and wrong words. She pulled her arm out of Jiang Xianxian's hand with a deft move, and took two steps back, leaving Jiang Xianxian's reach.

Jiang Xinxin sneered, "You have always been a good talker, and you can coax the whole family to pamper you, but now my parents can only look after my bloodline. Even if you talk to the sky, it doesn't make sense for a granddaughter to provide for the grandparents of her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson and granddaughter-in-law."

"Besides, I can't squeeze anything out of you. I signed a ten-year contract with the General's Mansion, and I've already been registered as a female household. I've also been adopted by my godmother, Mother Chen. I have nothing to do with your Jiang family. Even if you go to the government to sue me, it won't work."

It is said that Sheng and Jing are going to go to war again. In this chaotic world, the status of women is very low. Even if a female household is established, it is just a nice name and it may even bring disaster. Therefore, almost no women are willing to establish a female household these days. If they are desperate, they are more willing to sell themselves to others as slaves in exchange for a chance to survive.

But Jiang Xianxian is different. She has long forgotten her previous life in the village. Although there was a shortage of material things at that time, the Jiang family has never treated her badly in terms of food and drink. They even made many arrangements for her because of her extraordinary appearance. Even though most of them were for other people in the family, they were also for her.

Jiang Xianxian had never been treated unfairly in her life, so she had no idea what kind of life those people who waited every day for free porridge from the rich families in Beijing lived. Therefore, she was stunned by Jiang Xinxin's move to establish a female household.

However, this was the first time Jiang Xianxian had come to Jiang Xinxin since she entered the general's mansion, so Jiang Xinxin decided to give her some advice: "Even if I didn't ask around, I knew that my family was able to buy a house in the city, which shows that life is getting better day by day. Since you have become the eldest young master's concubine, you are considered married to your family. A married woman doesn't need to worry about her parents' family every day. She should focus all her energy on her own little family."

Jiang Xianxian is big enough to be considered a sperm, and it can be seen that Jiang Xinxin is really thinking about her. Thinking about her brother, sister-in-law and nephew who are now obese, as well as her parents and grandparents who have always acted like masters and mistresses and ordered servants around, especially the contempt she has suffered recently because of the less and less money she brings home, her mind that has been confused for a long time finally became clear.

Seeing Jiang Xianxian's thoughtful look, Jiang Xinxin quickly took the opportunity to leave. She was sure that if Jiang Xianxian came to see her again next time, it would definitely be for her own life, and never for other people in the Jiang family.

When Jiang Xinxin returned, she heard the maid say that Mother Chen was waiting for her. After washing her face, she hurried to Mother Chen's room. The first thing Mother Chen asked her was what she thought of the Jiang family.

Jiang Xinxin said expressionlessly: "The Jiang family has nothing to do with me now."

"Jiang Xianxian is a smart person. I remind her to think more about herself. There will definitely be a big conflict between her and the Jiang family in the future. It's just right for her to help me block it."

Mother Chen nodded with relief, "You are still clear-headed. Some relatives can indeed be trusted and close, but some people are only blood relatives, and in fact they are no different from tigers and wolves. If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. It's good that you can break off with the Jiang family early."

It would be better to have Jiang Xianxian standing in front.

This is also the reason why Mother Chen thought about it and was willing to give Jiang Xianxian a chance to enter the mansion to serve. If only Jiang Xinxin entered the general's mansion, then it would be Jiang Xinxin who would be sucked dry at this time.

Look, just having one more Jiang Xianxian will only benefit them and not cause any harm.

The mother and daughter who arrived halfway smiled at each other, and tacitly began to talk about the preparations for Ye Xiwu's dowry. They didn't notice that there was a bird that had been following Jiang Xinxin since the small garden, and it was watching all her performance at the moment and conveyed it to Tan Tai Jin, who was acting as a clothes rack for Ye Xiwu.
