Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 87: Mid Autumn Festival

While the Ningyuan Marquis residence was discussing how to handle Jiang Yu'e, in the Jiang residence, the third branch courtyard, Yang-shi was also quarrelling with Jiang Yuan Xing for Jiang Yu'e.

"Yu'e is already together with Zhou Yan Bang, she could only marry into Ningyuan Marquis residence!" Yang-shi glared with wide eyes, probably because of Jiang Yu'e's matter. Overnight, she actually appeared to have become much thinner, her face appearing even more sharp and unkind. Her high cheek bones made her look shrewish.

"I will not allow my daughter to be a concubine!" Jiang Yuan Xing transformed from his normal cowardly temper and was as angry as Yang-shi. He said: "Go to Ningyuan Marquis residence and become a concubine, in the future, her son would be just like me, could only be a shu born!"

This time, even Yang-shi was dumbstruck and she looked at her husband. When she married Jiang Yuan Xing, it's not that she didn't like it. Although Jiang Yuan Xing was merely the shu son, the third branch, but she was also merely the shu daughter of the minister of the agricultural department. Wanting to marry into a more prosperous family was also impossible. Moreover, Jiang Yuan Xing looked gentle, literary, and not hateful.

But the days of one's life are lived with daily necessities. People's hearts always like to compare. Compared with the honor and riches of the main branch and the second branch, the third branch lived their days hard pressed for money, causing Yang-shi to be endlessly annoyed. In her heart, there's unreconciliation and blame, so Yang-shi frequently quarrelled with Jiang Yuan Xing. Jiang Yuan Xing never retorted and simply bore, which made Yang-shi see clearly that this man wasn't gentle and literary, but actually had a cowardly temper. In his lifetime, he could only be a document checker.

They'd been married for many years, but this was the first time Jiang Yuan Xing had a dispute with her. Plus, his "just like me, could only be a shu son", this kind of speech came out, Jiang Yuan Xing was obviously angered.

Jiang Yuan Xing was indeed very angry.

Only he himself knew how lowly it was as a shu son. Though it seemed that he normally didn't compare and take these things into account, but in front of his two elder brothers, he always had a low self-esteem and couldn't lift his head. When he was young, he had a fantasy, if his birth mother was old madam Jiang, then it would be great. Just like his elder brothers, possessing all that he could possess and receiving respect whenever he walked. Later, when he grew up, he understood, everything was based on a person's fate. God wanted him to be born from a concubine's belly, thus his whole life was destined to could only be under the foot of his two elder brothers.

His fate could not be altered anymore, but his daughter's could. It's possible for Jiang Yu'e not to walk this path. She could choose not to marry Zhou Yan Bang. If this was the case, her children also would not turn into this kind of miserable fate of a shu born.

"Then say, how to handle this?" Yang-shi unexpectedly became calm. She no longer quarrelled incessantly with Jiang Yuan Xing like before; rather she desperately said: "With Yu'e's identity, she can only marry into Ningyuan Marquis residence as a concubine. Could they possibly take Yu'e as the main wife? Now everyone in Yanjing already knows that Yu'e and Zhou Yan Bang were already together and no one else will marry Yu'e. Don't tell me that you want her to stay in the residence all her life and be a spinster? Or to directly let her cut her hair and go to the temple, spending her lifetime in the nunnery?" Yang-shi mumbled: "I didn't instruct my daughter well, but if you are not just a document checker, if the one meeting with a mishap wasn't Yu'e, but the daughter from the main branch, the result definitely would not be like this."
