Chapter 327

Consequently, although they were shocked this time,

they did not find it too unexpected.

Her heart pounding, the ever-proper Li Wan dared not dwell on her mother-in-law's affairs: "Madam, shall we set off now?"

A warm smile graced Qin Qin Qin Keqing's exquisite face: "Very well."

"Third Sister, go and prepare the sedan chair bearers and the coachman."

"Yes, Madam."

Yan Shi, having been summoned, immediately went to attend to it.

Diaochan, You Shi, and the others then crowded around Qin Qin Qin Keqing,

boarding the sedan chairs or carriages together.

It took several minutes just to make it out the gate.

Along the way,

Li Wan, the two Chun sisters, and Lin Lin Daiyu were astonished to see over a hundred soldiers escorting them, with even the City Guard having dispatched a squad from nearby to provide protection!

It truly left them surprised and envious!

Li Wan, the two Chun sisters, and Lin Lin Daiyu

chose to ride together in a spacious, comfortable carriage pulled by four horses.

Inside the carriage, they lifted the curtain to gaze at the grand spectacle outside.

Li Wan smiled bitterly and said to the four young women: "This Marquis Marquis Wushuang Earl's Mansion is truly imposing; neither the Ning nor the Rong mansions possess such a display."

Hearing Hearing Tanchun and Jia Jia Yingchun nodded repeatedly: "Indeed! In terms of grandeur and pomp, I fear not even the princes in the capital can compare; only those in the palace could outdo this."

Sister Sister Xichun, however, wore a look of immense pride!

Lin Lin Daiyu parted her lips and said: "It is because those rebels are too outrageous, daring to hijack a wedding and ambush Brother Hui on his wedding day. It is only natural for Brother Hui to be so cautious about safety!"

Li Wan and the others all nodded.

Hearing this,

they all felt a sense of fear.

"It feels as though the capital has become unsafe lately; it is so chaotic that I dare not even step outside!" Jia Jia Yingchun said, her small face filled with fear.

"Alas, I never expected there to be so many rebels in the capital."

Li Wan sighed along with her.

After hearing this, Sister Sister Xichun immediately said with enthusiasm: "It is fine. In the future, you should just come to the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Earl's Mansion. We are on the same street, and with our mansion here, there are patrolling soldiers all along the road, so you will feel safe."

"Yes, if you need to travel far, just notify our mansion, and we can send some men to escort you."

The timid and fearful Jia Jia Yingchun nodded repeatedly in pleasant surprise.

Lin Lin Daiyu frowned slightly: "But would that not be too much of a burden on the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Earl's Mansion?"

Li Wan and Hearing Hearing Tanchun both looked at Sister Sister Xichun.

In truth, they were wondering: did Sister Sister Xichun really have such authority?

Sister Sister Xichun said confidently: "It is no trouble at all; it is just a matter of a single word. Besides, every one of our concubines is assigned a squad of personal guards when traveling. Even if the main household does not send anyone, I can just lend out my own squad. My husband said I have the authority to use them. And I believe the Madam and the others will agree."

This left Li Wan, Hearing Hearing Tanchun, and the others even more moved and astonished!

"If this were in the past, it would have been unthinkable."

"Even when Fourth Sister was in the Rongguo Mansion, she did not have such authority as a young lady."

"And she certainly would not have been this confident!"

"You are truly living well in the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Earl's Mansion."

Hearing these words,

Sister Sister Xichun became even happier and said with a smile: "Second Sister, Third Sister, and Sister Lin, you should just marry my husband later! Then you will have everything!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of all the women in the carriage widened in shock as they stared at Sister Sister Xichun!

【347】 Worries regarding the marriages of the two Chun sisters and Lin Lin Daiyu; Li Wan's envious melancholy

Li Wan, Hearing Hearing Tanchun, Jia Jia Yingchun, and Lin Lin Daiyu—

none of them had expected

that Sister Sister Xichun would say such a thing.

To actually find concubines for her own husband?

However, considering how doted upon Sister Sister Xichun was, it was understandable that she would want to return the favor.

But to suggest their own sisters?

Hearing Hearing Tanchun, Jia Jia Yingchun, and Lin Lin Daiyu all blushed deeply.

Li Wan teased: "Sister Sister Xichun, you really are a good sister."

Sister Sister Xichun nodded earnestly: "I am, because I know that if you marry my husband, you will live a good life. If you marry anyone else, it is hard to say."

Hearing this,

the women fell silent, agreeing with Sister Sister Xichun.

After all, it was the truth.

And while Sister Sister Xichun and Jia Jia Yuanchun were both finding women for their husbands within their own natal families,

their situations and motives were fundamentally different.

Jia Jia Yuanchun only did it for the sake of her son, to ensure he would not be bullied in the future.

Sister Sister Xichun, however, was entirely focused on Jia Hui.

And, of course, she was also thinking of her dear sisters.

She genuinely believed that following Jia Hui would lead to a good life.

Jia Hui treated his women very well.

He was willing to spend gold and silver on them.

He would give ten thousand taels as a dowry for a concubine without a second thought.

Unlike other families,

such as the Jia, Gu, Xu, and Yuan families—those so-called glorious noble houses—

which of them did not covet the dowries of their wives' families?

And although they had many women,

Jia Hui shared his heart with each of them, trusting them and opening his heart to them.

It was not Love Love Like the fleeting lust of men Love Love Like Sheng Hong or Xu Xu Xu Lingyi,

who would play with a woman and then leave her cold and neglected in a corner.

The difference was immense.

Women need care, concern, and affection,

not just to be blindly given money

and then left to fend for themselves.

Which was better and which was worse,

was clear at a glance.

With such a perfect contrast,

their hearts were even more deeply touched.

Seeing the moved reactions of the women, especially Hearing Hearing Tanchun and Jia Jia Yingchun,

Hearing Hearing Tanchun had long been filled with admiration and longing for Jia Hui.

From the very beginning, she had greatly appreciated such a great hero.

Recently, seeing him repeatedly defeat treacherous officials and rebels,

that emotion had reached its peak!

And now, discovering that Jia Hui also possessed such literary talent,

she was completely infatuated, feeling deep down that he was the only one for her.
