Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 160 It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs

Jiang Mingyu sighed, shook his head, and remained silent.

Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang exchanged a glance, already understanding the situation, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what exactly is going on?"

Sun Jingyi had clearly calmed down a bit, but she was still sobbing: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you don't know, they're bullying us so much! I really can't stand it for another second."

"Last time you came over, you seemed to be thinking of moving, didn't you? Why did you..." Hui Niang asked directly.

Sun Jingyi, who was still sobbing, immediately stopped crying when she heard Hui Niang's question and lowered her head even further.

Jiang Mingyu looked completely bewildered and asked in confusion, "What do you mean, 'last time'? What do you mean, 'moved away'?"

Xu Qingmeng said softly, "It's been several days now, people are saying that the people in the courtyard are not easy to get along with."

Jiang Mingyu remained silent for a long time before walking to Sun Jingyi's side, squatting down, and asking in a low voice, "So, you only made a scene like this so you could move out?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Jingyi immediately objected, saying, "What am I making a fuss about? What's wrong with wanting to move out? What, is there anything in that courtyard that you're reluctant to leave for? Tell me, is it because that young wife seduced you? Tell me, is that why you don't want to move? Doesn't she find it shameless? Her own husband is still here, and she's already seducing someone else's husband. She's really shameless."

"Sun Jingyi, do you know what you're saying?"

Jiang Mingyu's face darkened, and his voice became cold and sharp.

He never expected Sun Jingyi to say such baseless and extremely offensive things.

Sun Jingyi was startled by Jiang Mingyu's reprimand, but her grievances and anger made her unwilling to back down.

She retorted, "Did I say something wrong? That woman keeps giving you the eye, do you think I'm blind?"

Xu Qingmeng frowned, but it was clear that she couldn't let Sun Jingyi continue to act so unreasonably.

She sat down and took Sun Jingyi's hand, saying, "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. You and Brother Jiang have only been married for a short time. Your unfounded accusations will hurt Brother Jiang's feelings."

Hui Niang nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, sister, you can't just say things like that."

Sun Jingyi's eyes were red as she said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not making this up. You don't know, whenever Jiang Mingyu is around, she practically stares at him. She doesn't care about her husband and even deliberately talks to him in front of me. The seductive look in her eyes is so obvious."

"That's not very interesting. When did I ever respond to her? I just turned around and went inside. Besides, if you want to change courtyards, you can just tell me. It's not a big deal. The money is all with you. If you want to change courtyards, do you think I'd stop you?"

Sun Jingyi paused, stopped crying, and sneered, "What's the use of telling you? You go out the moment you open your eyes every day, what can I say to you? And when I come back and tell you that woman used our things, what did you say? We all live in the same courtyard, so what if she used them!"

"And money? Whose money grows on trees? I just asked you to ask the landlord if we can get a refund since we're not staying here anymore, and you made all sorts of excuses, saying it's shameful and you don't want to go. If we don't stay, then all this money will be wasted. Why should I accept that?"

"you······"

Jiang Mingyu rubbed his temples in frustration. He knew that Sun Jingyi had been wronged in the yard, but he really didn't expect his gentle and charming wife to be so unreasonable.

He was truly angry. He flicked his sleeve, his face darkened, and he roared, "You're being completely unreasonable and irrational!" This was the first time Jiang Mingyu had lost his temper with her since they had been married for so long, but she didn't think she had done anything wrong. She simply tilted her head back and looked at him.

"Alright, alright, let's all keep quiet. Brother Jiang, let me tell you something..." Zhou Yuanjia walked over and pulled Jiang Mingyu into the main room.

Xu Qingmeng handed a handkerchief to Sun Jingyi: "Alright, alright, stop crying. You were just saying those things in anger. Calm down first and don't let it affect your relationship."

Upon hearing this, Sun Jingyi burst into tears, which she tried to wipe away with her handkerchief, but couldn't.

Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang quickly tried to comfort her, and after a long time, they finally understood from her words what had happened today.

That young wife was very unceremonious. She said it was broad daylight, so she wrapped herself in a sheet and took a bath in the yard, and even asked her husband to come and bathe with her.

The courtyard was small to begin with, so there wasn't much room for privacy. How much could the bed sheet really provide? Besides, after the woman finished washing, she leaned against Jiang Mingyu, which infuriated Sun Jingyi.

Jiang Mingyu actually knew what was going on in the yard. He found the house too troublesome, so he went out early on and basically stayed in the yard except for eating and sleeping.

But whenever Jiang Mingyu comes back, that woman starts flirting with him, so it's no wonder Sun Jingyi gets angry.

When Sun Jingyi was with the Jiang family, although her mother-in-law liked to lecture her, she understood that her mother-in-law was kind to her and treated her fairly well. There was no reason for her to be bullied like this.

Whenever Sun Jingyi talked to Jiang Mingyu about the couple, Jiang Mingyu would try to smooth things over, saying things like classical Chinese and telling her not to take it so seriously.

Furthermore, that woman didn't avoid suspicion and even flirted with Jiang Mingyu right in front of her.

That woman was even worse today; she practically clung to Jiang Mingyu. The man was useless too, like a dead man, completely ignoring her.

Sun Jingyi was unwilling to accept this, so she immediately pulled Jiang Mingyu over and said a few words to him, telling him to avoid that woman in the future.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Mingyu said, "I just saw her fall and helped her up, is it really necessary for you to make such a fuss!"

It was Jiang Mingyu's words that caused Sun Jingyi to explode.

The two were newly married, and Sun Jingyi had been restraining herself, always being careful and pretending to be virtuous in front of Jiang Mingyu.

At this moment, she couldn't care less about anything else and let her true nature show. She cried and made a scene, even insisting on going back to Quan County. Jiang Mingyu had no other choice, so the two of them continued their tantrum all the way to their courtyard.

This is why Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang saw this scene as soon as they arrived at the door.

In Xu Qingmeng's opinion, both Sun Jingyi and Jiang Mingyu had some issues. Although Sun Jingyi was a bit cunning, she was doing it for their family, which Xu Qingmeng could understand.

However, as the saying goes, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes. Sun Jingyi is not one to listen to others, so she and Huiniang were also helpless.
