Chapter 276: Childhood Sweethearts Not Fated to Wed

he courtyard, facing the direction of the main gate, kowtow three times to send off Ye Si." 。"The two maidservants didn't ask anything, they immediately ran to the courtyard and kowtowed. " 。After thr...Even now, Mrs. Jiang still can't hide her anger over what happened back then.

"When your Uncle Jiang heard this, he immediately went to look for your father. The two first had an argument, then they went out together for drinks and didn't come back until the middle of the night. " 。After you return, just be with me. Let's not mention this again. Forget about the marriage. Don't hold a grudge against the Ye family. Both families should continue as they were. Just act like this never happened. 。But I'm unwilling to accept this, and Wan Ting won't go either. There's no other way, so I'll have to take advantage of the early morning when Uncle Jiang goes to court tomorrow and find your mother by myself. 。When you arrived at the General's Mansion, you saw your family's matriarch punishing your mother by making her kneel in the ancestral hall. As the head of the household, she didn't seem to care about the future of the family. 。"When Madam Jiang arrived here, she could only smile wryly and say, “Your grandmother really has your father wrapped around her little finger.” 。She had to be discreet, always putting the needs of the Ye family first. She couldn't stand out too much, as that would attract unwanted attention from the court and the royal family, potentially leading to disaster down the line. 。Of course she's right. After all, the Ye family controls a powerful army. Once their power grows even stronger, the court will inevitably try every means to suppress them. 。So, it is best for male members of the family to avoid marrying into wealthy families as much as possible. A simple and modest life is preferable. 。But since she cares so much about the family, why can't she be fair Why only suppress your eldest house and not give her favored second son the same consideration" The Jiang Madam also had a fiery temper. As she spoke, she slammed her fist on the table, “I heard long ago that she had her eyes set on Ye Hongzhuang. She’s been wanting to find a good husband for her, and the one she has her sights on is the most promising prince… 。"Why bother with keeping a low profile for the family's future She clearly only wants your main branch to keep a low profile, desperately suppressing you all, wishing that you would each marry commoners and fade away." 。She grabbed Ye Wenyan's wrist, “Yan’er, is your father truly her biological son How can a biological son be like this compared to a concubine's son He's not even as good as a concubine's son!”

Ye Wenyan didn’t understand what was going on either, so he could only tell Madam Jiang: “Biologically, I should be his biological son. As for why the two sons are treated differently, I don’t know.” 。" Madam Jiang sighed again, "Your mother was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall back then, because she had a big argument with the old madam. " 。Because the old madam not only arranged a marriage for your brother with the Yu family, who holds the rank of sixth grade, but also for your older sister with the Fu family, who holds the rank of fifth grade, isn't this going too far Your mother refused, and tried to reason with her, but how could she argue with the old madam Her seniority alone was enough to overpower anyone. 。"Yaner, we truly are smitten with your brother. To have such a humble and kind man like your brother wed into the Yu family... it's simply... simply..." "Simply wasting my brother's good looks and excellent temperament, giving him away for nothing to the Yu family!" 。"That's exactly what I mean." 。"Madam Jiang shook her head helplessly, “Wanting cried for days over this. It took her a whole year to recover. You should know about this." 。"

Ye Wen nodded, she did know that this matter was retained in the original owner's memory, although not complete, but the general meaning could still be understood. " 。The original owner had once accompanied Jiang Wanting to stand guard outside the Yu family's gate for several days, just to see what the eldest Yu sister, Yu Xuanji, looked like. Unfortunately, Yu Xuanji never left her doorsteps, and after waiting for many days, they still couldn't see her. 。Then Jiang Wanting also, maybe they were just too unlike girls, always running outside, not at all like a proper lady who should stay indoors. Flying Jade's brother would be somewhat ashamed if he truly married her. 。From then on, she never mentioned the matter again and returned to her usual cheerful self. 。The original owner thought that Jiang Wanting's enthusiasm had passed at the time, but only when her body was inhabited by another soul did she realize that Jiang Wanting had never let go. She had simply kept it in her heart and never showed it again. 。Mrs. Jiang continued, "Later your Uncle Jiang, Ye Family's consideration was also right. If our family and the Ye Family were to become in-laws, it would mean having both civil and military advantages. How would the court think It's just that the Ye Family chose someone else, why did they choose the Yu Family The Yu Family are from the Ministry of Justice, what kind of character is Master Yu, our family wouldn't know Later on, I discussed this with your mother, and your mother also strongly opposed it. She argued and made a fuss, but unfortunately, your grandmother refused to change her mind, and your father listened to her. So, this matter could only be settled." 。Later on, after some inquiries, we learned that Sister Xuánjī and Lady Hai were reasonable people, and this finally put our minds at ease. 。Mrs. Jiang clearly had a lot on her mind. Today, having gotten this opportunity, she just wouldn't stop chattering with Ye Wenyan. 。Although the engagement didn't work out, your Uncle Jiang and I both consider you all as our own children. 。That night when we heard that the Yu family was causing trouble, we panicked and immediately sent Wenting over without thinking. 。Only later did I realize that doing this wasn't good for Wan Ting and it hurt her again. 。That night, Wan Ting told us everything. Yan'er, we all know Feiyu is a good child. Their engagement has been set for almost three years; it can't just be broken off. Besides, if the engagement were to be broken, what would become of Xuanji sister in the future 。So, if your brother is willing to divorce, and he's willing to renew the marriage contract, we can understand that. 。Your Uncle Jiang also spoke to Wan Ting, asking her to be more careful and consider finding a good husband for herself in the near future. 。" Night Wenyan's mood wasn't very good after hearing this. Jiang Wanting and Ye Feiyu were childhood sweethearts, and their families were equally well-matched. They should have helped each other out for mutual benefit. " 。It's a pity that Ye's overthinking and the interference of an old woman led to this outcome. 。Perhaps that's just fate! She comforted Madam Jiang: "Wan Ting will find someone better, the Jiang family is simpler than ours. Her marriage is up to you and Uncle Jiang, they certainly won't wrong her. " 。I won't make things difficult for her, and when she gets married in the future, she will surely have a grand wedding. 。"

Madam Jiang knew some things, all from Jiang Feng coming back and telling her. So listening to Ye Wenyan's words, she believed that Ye Wenyan was successful, so he must have been successful indeed >>> 。And with Night Warm Words helping to screen the candidates, Wan Ting's future husband will surely be a good one. This matter is probably something she and Jiang Feng don't need to worry about; Night Warm Words just needs to keep an eye on things. 。Then she smiled, "Yian'er, with your words I feel at ease." 。Both I and your Uncle Jiang trust you. With your help, Examining in detail will be more thorough and meticulous than if we did it ourselves. 。Okay, let's not talk about this. It's almost lunchtime. You go see Wǎntíng, and I'll go check on the dishes and rice. 。If you don't have anything to do at home tonight, just stay here. You've stayed here before. 。" That's not possible. I shouldn't even be here today because our family is still in mourning and we shouldn't visit others." 。It's just that the earth dragon has already turned over once when it was happening, and the taboo has long been broken, so I just came over to sit for a bit. 。But staying here is definitely not possible, thank you Auntie Lan for your kindness. 。"

Mrs. Jiang waved her hand, "Our family certainly doesn't have those requirements. I believe you, Yan'er, don't either. It's just that although we ourselves are not particular, we worry that others might..." 。"This life of a person, is it lived for oneself or for others"

At noon, Ye Wenyan stayed at Shangshu's Mansion for lunch, and Zhuai'er also ate with the maidservants from Jiang's family in the side hall. " 。Jiang Wanting had been persuaded by Ye Wenyan enough, her emotions were relatively stable, and she could calmly eat chicken legs with her, even objectively analyzing the elder sister from the Yu family, Yu Xuanji. 。She said, "Yu Jiaguan, although he worked for my father, our families weren't on good terms. At all the banquets in Beijing, I never saw that elder sister..." 。So three years ago, I had you stand with me at the gate of Yu's mansion to take a look at Yu Xuánjī. Unfortunately, we never saw her. 。It was actually from the previous year, a matter of the twelfth lunar month. She heard about your family's misfortune and felt concerned. However, she was too embarrassed to visit you directly out of concern, so she could only do as I did when I visited her—hiding near the Night Mansion and looking at it from afar. 。That time when there was a commotion at your doorstep, wasn't I the one who didn't catch it It was that time I saw... 。"Ye Wen only remembered that there were many people gathered at the door, but she couldn't tell who they were. 。So, I asked Chiang Wan-ting, "What's that Xiuanji like"

Chiang Wan-ting: "You can just tell by her looks, but you can't tell about her personality."

She's not stunning at first glance, but she has a gentle and refined beauty. The more you look at her, the more comfortable and pleasing she becomes. 。This must be called enduringly appealing! Fei Fei told me before that things that get better the more you look at them are called enduringly appealing. 。As for his personality, although it's not immediately apparent, we had inquired about him three years ago and heard he was quite a good person. 。Yu Zhu shi isn't very good, but his legal wife, Hai Fu ren, comes from a scholarly family. Her father used to teach at the National Academy of Learning and is quite well-educated. 。So, Wen Yan ah, if Lady Hai can have a smooth divorce with Master Yu, then the engagement between Feiyu brother and Xuanji could also continue. 。After all these years, everyone in the capital city knows about the two of them. It wouldn't be good to just break up now, and if they did, it would make it difficult for Xuanji to get married in the future. 。" Night Wen wasn't sure how to respond to that. 。Emotionally, she was closer to Jiang Wanting and they got along well. Naturally, she preferred Jiang Wanting as her sister-in-law. 。Logically speaking, just like Jiang Wanting's situation, this marriage has been arranged for three years now. The entire Lin'an city knows about it. If it were to be broken off like this, it would make life difficult for Yu Jia's Xuanji sister in the future. 。Perhaps that night, the brother was willing to pay a dowry again just to leave. He must have been thinking this way. 。She was lost in thought, eating her meal slowly. Some dishes had even started to get cold, but she hadn't eaten much of them. 。 Mrs. Jiang wanted to advise the two of them not to just talk, but to eat more dishes. At this time, a big maid from outside the flower hall walked in, saluted the three in front of her, and then said to Mrs. Jiang: "The Yu family is moving now, the gate is wide open, and there are a group of people gathered, pointing fingers and gossiping, the words are very unpleasant..."nt>>> 。"Well now, are you still without a match Sticking with your Zhao sister's household" That remark made Zhao Sister instantly furious. "Zhang Luoluo, what do you mean Your family is only of the...
