Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 87 Part 1: Mid Autumn Festival

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

Yue 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 Yues 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, its not that she didnt 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 ones life are lived with daily necessities. Peoples 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, theres 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 wasnt gentle and literary, but actually had a cowardly temper. In his lifetime, he could only be a document checker.

Theyd 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 didnt compare and take these things into account, but in front of his two elder brothers, he always had a low self-esteem and couldnt 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 persons fate. God wanted him to be born from a concubines 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 daughters could. Its possible for Jiang Yue 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 Yues identity, she can only marry into Ningyuan Marquis residence as a concubine. Could they possibly take Yue as the main wife? Now everyone in Yanjing already knows that Yue and Zhou Yan Bang were already together and no one else will marry Yue. Dont 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 didnt instruct my daughter well, but if you are not just a document checker, if the one meeting with a mishap wasnt Yue, but the daughter from the main branch, the result definitely would not be like this.

As if hit by lightning, Jiang Yuan Xing staggered two steps backward.

At this time, Jiang Yue ran in from outside. Once she came, she directly knelt down, and while crying, said to Jiang Yuan Xing: Father, I dont want to be a nun, I also dont want to stay in the residence for a lifetime. Its already like this, if I dont marry Zhou Yan Bang, I wont have any other way. Father, are you forcing your daughter to die?

Seeing his wife and daughter like this, then thinking about his current identity, Jiang Yuan Xings complexion was grey. He no longer had the strength to resist, squirmed his lips, and in the end, closed his eyes. After a long time he finally said a word, okay.

Thus, the dust settled.

The days passed leisurely and the summer at last ended. Autumn, along with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, rushed over together from the distant sky.

This summer was exceptionally long, many unconceivable things seemed to have happened in Yanjing. When thinking carefully, except for life and death, they were all trivial matters. However these trivial matters were also discussed by the people incessantly for several months.

One of these was the romance of Zhou Yan Bang from the Ningyuan Marquis residence.

Speaking of, since the palace feast where in front of the guests, Ningyuan Marquiss heir got entangled with two females from famous families, each and every one of the male population envied Zhou Yan Bang for enjoying the joy of having several partners while the female population tacitly sympathized with Zhou Yan Bangs original fiancee, Jiang You Yao.

To speak of, it was an unexpected disaster. As long as the year passed, Jiang third miss would have married Zhou Yan Bang. Who would have known that such a thing would happen midway? Clearly didnt do anything, but got her fiancee snatched away. The people who were jealous of Jiang You Yao clapping their hands and said that everything was retribution. Wasnt Jiang third misss marriage snatched from Jiang second miss? It could be seen that if its not her thing, no matter how they grab it, they wouldnt get it.

No matter what people said, the end of this romance was still Zhou Yan Bangs marriage that was resolved.

Zhou Yan Bang would marry the Shen familys daughter, Shen Ruyun as the wife, and at the same time, take the Jiang familys fifth miss as the concubine.

Zhou Yan Bang was disrespectful to Shen Ruyun, and she was the secretarys younger sister. A daughters innocent reputation was most important, so there was no other alternative but to take Shen Ruyun to enter the door. While Jiang Yue, most of the rumors circulating in Yanjing was that Jiang fifth miss and her about-to-become brother in law had long ago had a secret relationship. In order to mask this scandal, they had no choice but to bring her into the door. Its just that the Jiang familys third branchs status was too low, so she could only enter as a concubine. Naturally, the Jiang familys third branch agreed, invisibly reflecting that Jiang Yue and Zhou Yan Bang truly had a private affair since earlier.

Outsiders saw that Zhou Yan Bang had a tender wife and beautiful concubine in his arms, and also became the current emperors favorite, the secretarys brother in law. This could be considered to everyones delight and satisfaction. However, among these, only Zhou Yan Bang himself understood the feelings clearly.
