Chapter 79 Royal Wet Nurse (1)
Yin Dynasty.
The Changyuan Marquis's Residence.
Today is the wedding day of Jiang Hongfei, the heir of the Marquis of Changyuan.
His wife is Bai Ruofu, the only daughter of the Bai family, the richest family in Jiangnan.
Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants—merchants are considered the lowest class.
It's astonishing that the heir of a noble family would marry the daughter of a merchant.
However, the Marquis of Changyuan's mansion was dilapidated inside, just an empty shell.
They even used all the money in their accounts to hold the wedding.
To die is to face and suffer.
After the marriage, they waited for Bai Ruofu's dowry to fill their deficit and maintain their prosperity.
But for the Bai family, being able to rise from the daughter of a lowly merchant to the wife of the heir apparent was a leap in social class.
It doesn't matter if it costs more money.
Anyway, the Bai family is rolling in money.
This marriage had nothing to do with romance; it was all about self-interest.
Jiang Hongfei and Bai Ruofu had never even met.
-
Bai Ruofu didn't care.
All she needs to do is secure her position as the legal wife, give birth to another son, and enable the Bai family to achieve upward social mobility.
But Jiang Hongfei went too far.
On the day of the wedding, at the auspicious time for the ceremony, he did not appear.
Lady Hou, who is Bai Ruofu's future mother-in-law, sent people to search for her, but they could not find her.
The wedding day should have been a glorious day for Bai Ruofu, the bride.
But she became the laughingstock of the entire capital.
"A merchant's daughter is ultimately not fit for respectable social status."
This is how people describe her.
-
At dusk, Jiang Hongfei finally returned.
A delicate woman dressed in white followed behind him.
Someone recognized the woman as Yun Yarou, the youngest daughter of the Yun family, whose entire family had been raided and whose parents and brothers had been beheaded for committing a crime some time ago.
She was also Jiang Hongfei's childhood sweetheart.
If the Yun family hadn't met with this misfortune, it would definitely be Yun Yarou who is marrying Jiang Hongfei today.
She is now the daughter of a disgraced official.
Jiang Hongfei bought her back from a human trafficker.
On his wedding day, he embraced his beloved Rou Mei, whom he had lost and then found again, on the riverbank where they had pledged their love, and poured out their hearts to each other.
He then resolutely took her back to the Marquis's residence.
The two knelt before Lady Hou.
Jiang Hongfei straightened his back and said, "Mother, your son wants to marry Rou'er as his secondary wife."
“If Mother does not agree, I will commit suicide here today.”
Yun Yarou, standing behind him, immediately chimed in, "Rou'er will die for the young master..."
-
What a pair of lovesick fools!
Lady Hou was so angry she almost fainted.
It's the mother's fault for not teaching her son properly; it's all because she spoiled her only son too much...
This led to Jiang Hongfei's willful and naive foolishness!
Yun Yarou is the daughter of a disgraced official. What benefits would marrying her bring to the Changyuan Marquis's mansion?
Only endless ridicule!
What the Marquis of Changyuan needs most right now is money!
Fortunately, Jiang Hongfei had been well-versed in poetry and literature since childhood, which made him quite pedantic!
He has always regarded money as dirt.
They looked down on the daughters of merchants.
He believed that Yun Yarou, with whom he could discuss poetry and songs, was his soulmate and his ideal woman.
They were too young, thinking that love was enough to sustain them.
Little did they know that without a material foundation, even the strongest relationship is fragile...
Moreover, the Lady Hou knew her own son well.
He doesn't have a particularly resilient personality.
If they don't have money to squander and live a hard life, who knows what they might do in the future...
"Hongfei! Afu is your legal wife! Today is your wedding day, the rest can be discussed later!"
The implication.
Your mother agrees to let you marry someone else.
but not now.
The most important thing now is to keep Bai Ruofu, this big money bag, safe!
"Mother, your son must give Rou'er an explanation today!"
But Jiang Hongfei was incorrigible.
