Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine
Chapter 99 Proposal
Everyone in the Meng family breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Meng Xiyue was willing to get married.
Once a woman gets married, she will no longer have much to do with the Meng family.
Arranging marriages is basically the job of the mistress of the house.
But Cui didn't have many acquaintances in the capital, and she didn't know much about anyone's situation.
Meng Qingge asked a matchmaker to find her marriage. She put forward some requirements and asked the matchmaker to find the right person for her.
As for Meng Xiyue, her situation was special and no matchmaker was willing to take on this job.
Therefore, although he was anxious to marry Meng Xiyue off.
But the Meng family just spread the word and waited for someone who was willing to come.
But Meng Xiyue never expected that someone would actually come, and it was someone she didn't expect.
Jiang Chubai's arrival shocked the entire Meng family.
Looking at his handsome face, gorgeous clothes and noble appearance, he has completely lost the immaturity and humility he had in Qingyun City.
The person whom they once looked down upon has now become a hot new upstart in the capital.
Meng Xiyue lowered her eyes. The last time they met was on the street. He was a newlywed and looked very decadent.
Now it seems that he is full of vigor and vitality.
I heard that he has now taken refuge with Prince Liang and is also highly appreciated by the Emperor.
At this moment, Jiang Chubai's brows were full of pride and confidence.
"Yue'er and I were already engaged, and we broke off the engagement due to some misunderstandings. Now, I am still willing to marry her."
After saying that, he raised his chin and looked at Meng Xiyue as if it was a gift.
"Marry me? I haven't heard that you divorced Miss Liang?"
Meng Xiyue sneered, saying that he thought he was a phoenix just by sticking two hairs on him.
His foundation is unstable now, and joining King Liang is not a good choice.
Although it can temporarily improve your status and catch the emperor's eye, it is ultimately just a stone that can be discarded at any time.
"She is still my wife, and so are you. To show my sincerity, I will not let you be a concubine this time, but a co-wife."
She really came prepared. Meng Xiyue was puzzled, "Does Liang Yingxue agree?"
"She has no objection."
"how is this possible?"
After a few days of contact, she was sure that Liang Yingxue hated her very much.
Moreover, she has a strong sense of self-esteem and is jealous. She may not even be willing for Jiang Chubai to take a concubine, so how could she be willing to be his equal wife?
"I have the final say in the Jiang family. How can she disobey me as a wife?"
Now I am a favorite of the emperor, and many people are trying to curry favor with me.
Liang Yingxue used to be arrogant and domineering in front of him, simply because she had a father who was a minister and she needed to rely on his abilities to climb up a little.
But now it is different. Although he is still just a small editor, he has won the appreciation of the emperor and King Liang.
Promotion is a matter of time. King Liang has already promised him privately that he will be promoted to Minister of Rites after one year.
Yuanqing State has a regulation that one must stay in the position for at least one year before being able to adjust.
A year later, he and his father-in-law were on the same level, so he no longer had to consider his father-in-law's mood.
Besides, it was King Liang who suggested that he come to the Meng Mansion to propose marriage. Not to mention Liang Yingxue, even his father-in-law would not dare to object.
"That's great. You two already have a foundation of love. You've been through so much hardship, and you're still together. It's fate. We, as your parents, have no objection."
Meng Qingxiang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Meng Xiyue could find such a good marriage.
I can't help but feel that Jiang Chubai is really devoted to his daughter.
And this time she was not a concubine, but a co-wife.
Meng Qingge and Meng Zirong were standing aside, and they could no longer hide the jealousy in their eyes.
When they heard that Meng Xiyue was willing to get married, they both wanted to watch her make a fool of herself.
She is a woman of unclean character, so no man would be willing to marry her.
They just waited until no one came, and then Meng Xiyue would have to marry a farmer or a servant, which would make everyone happy.
But who would have thought that Jiang Chubai would show up just after the news was released.
He even let bygones be bygones and wanted to marry her as his second wife. How could they not be jealous?
"In that case, Mr. Jiang, please invite your parents over so that we can discuss the marriage together."
Cui forced a smile. She had been looking for a marriage partner for Meng Qingge these days.
Meng Qingge was a legitimate daughter with no virginity, and those who came to propose marriage to her were all from small and medium-sized families. Those from slightly better families could only be concubines.
Even so, most people still came to seek this marriage because of the rules between them and Prince Qi's Mansion.
Nowadays, there are not even any small families left.
She knew that the capital city was different from Qingyun City. Even if a family was just a small one, if they could have a place in this wealthy capital city, their background would be immeasurable.
When it comes to Meng Xiyue, he is the top scholar right away. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with him.
But what he didn't expect was that Meng Xiyue actually refused.
"I don't want to. My fate with Master Jiang has ended. I don't want to be his wife or concubine."
"Why? This concubine is my wife, and she was married in a formal ceremony in a sedan chair carried by eight people."
Jiang Chubai was puzzled. Meng Xiyue was unwilling to follow him at the beginning, and the only thing she minded was that she was his concubine.
He has solved it now, why would she still be unwilling?
His eyes darkened. She couldn't be still thinking about Prince Qi, could she?
Thinking of this, his voice turned a little colder, "Yue'er, you have to know that people in high positions can have any woman they want. They won't be obsessed with one person. What's more, you have already fallen out of favor before you left the mansion."
"Jiang Chubai, what happens between the two of us has nothing to do with anyone else. I just don't want to marry you and I don't like you. It's that simple."
Meng Xiyue frowned. She no longer had any good feelings towards Jiang Chubai.
Even a little disgusted, a typical Phoenix man.
He was a Phoenix man who would break off the engagement with me as soon as I got into high school and wanted to marry the daughter of the minister.
Now that he has gotten what he wanted through this marriage, he wants to step on Liang Yingxue under his feet. He is really selfish to the extreme.
Now, she just felt sorry for Liang Yingxue, a good daughter of a wealthy family, who chose such a handsome man.
"Yue'er, now besides me, who else in the capital is willing to marry you out of old feelings? Now is not the time to be willful."
After saying that, he looked at Meng Qingxiang again, "Uncle, we all came from Qingyun City together. Meng Fan and I are also from the same hometown. In the future, whether in officialdom or in life, we should help each other."
Meng Qingxiang had been an official for so many years that he immediately understood what he meant.
He raised these daughters with great care, simply because he wanted to find a good family for them and pave the way for Faner's future.
Originally Meng Xiyue had given up hope and just wanted to marry her off quickly.
But now that he has encountered such a win-win situation, how could he be unwilling?
