Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

How could the second son of a fifth-rank official compare to Zhao Mingyuan, a young and promising general of the fourth rank?

She was also afraid that her daughter would be influenced by her sister-in-law and would have difficulty finding a husband, so she asked someone to facilitate this marriage to prevent her daughter's marriage from being delayed because of her aunt's family affairs.

Mrs. Fu regretted it very much. She shouldn't have listened to her parents-in-law and husband and stepped forward to drive away her sister-in-law.

If I had given my sister-in-law a hundred or so taels of silver as travel expenses, I wouldn't have ended up in this embarrassing situation now.

When my sister-in-law and her family come back, I can also bring up the marriage in a natural way.

I was in the same situation at the beginning. Why did I speak so decisively to Mrs. Qian? There is no way back now.

Fu Qiuyue was so angry that she smashed the tea set on the table in the house.

She also didn't expect that her aunt would come back, and her uncle would be reinstated and still be the god of war of the Yuan Dynasty, General Zhenyuan.

And my cousin is the fourth-rank General Yunhui.

Fourth rank, two levels higher than her grandfather's rank.

Moreover, my cousin is famous for his good looks in the capital. He is a young general, a beautiful woman, and the dream lover of many women.

When I was very young, my family told me that I would marry my cousin in the future, and my aunt would be my mother-in-law, so she would not get angry with me.

More importantly, my cousin is the only child in my aunt's family, and my uncle is the God of War of the Yuan Dynasty. In the future, all the Zhao family's assets will be handed over to my cousin and her.

Fu Qiuyue had witnessed the wealth and power of her aunt's family since she was a child, and all the people she interacted with were from wealthy and powerful families.

My grandfather was originally just an eighth-rank clerk. His family was insignificant in the capital, with little influence. Anyone one level older than my grandfather could order him around.

Don’t even mention my father, he’s not even as good as my grandfather.

He passed the imperial examination and became a Juren, but his ranking was almost the same as the last one. Although Juren could become officials, so many top-ranked Juren had to wait for several years and still couldn't get a chance, let alone a family like the Fu family who had no background.

Everything started to change after my aunt married my uncle.

My uncle was promoted all the way to the second rank, and he was famous and favored by the emperor. He was one of the most important figures in the capital.

With the help of my aunt's family's power, we can be noticed by others when we go out.

My grandfather was promoted, and my father was given priority in being assigned an official position by the Ministry of Personnel. The people who came into contact with our family were no longer just commoners.

Fu Qiuyue has been cautious at home since she was a child. She has seen the fickleness of human nature and the benefits of power, so she no longer wants to live that kind of life.

If it weren’t for my uncle, my grandfather would probably have worked as an eighth-rank clerk until he was old.

Since her aunt had no daughter, she loved her especially and often took her to live in the Zhao Mansion, which was spacious and elegant, with a garden and a pond.

Therefore, she lived the life of a young lady for a while. The jewelry her aunt gave her was something that neither her mother nor her grandmother had.

She enjoyed such days very much. Every time she returned home from the Zhao Mansion, she felt very annoyed when she saw her small courtyard with two entrances.

It wasn't until my mother told me that my aunt and mother had reached an agreement to marry me to my cousin that I almost went crazy with joy.

As soon as she gets married, she will be granted the fourth rank imperial title, and will be able to eat and wear good clothes. From then on, she will only come into contact with people from the upper class.

She is no longer the granddaughter of a sixth-rank official.

Since then, I have cared even more about my aunt and stayed with her every day.

My aunt often took me to banquets invited by noble ladies, and introduced her to others as her niece. She always treated me as her future daughter-in-law, and the two of us were like real mother and daughter.

Many of the noble ladies who were interested in my cousin were so angry that they glared at me.

Fu Qiuyue was very proud. It was no use wishing for her any longer because her cousin could only be hers.

She also showed concern for her cousin, but he was unwilling to do so, saying that he only treated her as his younger sister.

In order to avoid her, he lived in the military camp and didn't go home.

Fu Qiuyue was angry and resentful in her heart, but she didn't dare show any dissatisfaction on her face. Instead, she persuaded her aunt not to be angry and acted like a virtuous and considerate person.

This made my aunt feel sorry for me. She said she must marry me off to my cousin and gave me a lot of personal jewelry.

Seeing those precious jewels, Fu Qiuyue became even more determined to marry into the general's mansion.

Don’t worry about anything else for now, just coax your aunt. Your uncle will have to listen to her, and your cousin will have no choice but to be obedient.
