After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

Chapter 532 The Rebirth of a Noble Concubine from a bygone era (Part 7)

……

"Aunt, what did you say?" Jiang Xiuxi was incredulous when she heard what her aunt had said. Divorce? How could that be? Was the Feng family trying to kick them out after they'd served their purpose?

Jiang Xiuxi forced a stiff smile, then said in a dry tone, "Didn't we agree that my cousin would take a concubine, and the children born to the concubine would be raised under my name? Why would my cousin want a divorce? How did things come to this?" Because it was so unbelievable, Jiang Xiuxi even used the way her husband addressed her before marriage.

Things shouldn't have turned out this way! Jiang Xiuxi is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family, married through proper channels!

Looking at her heartbroken niece, Madam Feng hesitated, but thinking of her husband and son, she could only sigh helplessly and said earnestly, "Alas, but when we made this decision, Changqing disagreed."

Thinking back to the suggestion her niece made to compromise for the sake of Feng Chang's eldest grandson, Madam Feng felt that fate was playing tricks on her. "Back then, Chang Qing would rather divorce and remarry than take a concubine. You can tell what kind of person he is."

The old lady felt sorry for her niece and earnestly advised her, "It's also because we disregarded Changqing's wishes and acted too presumptuously, bringing Xiangxiang to our home ahead of time. That's why we ended up like this. Xiuxi, if we had known this would happen, we should have been prepared."

Knowing what was going on? Yes, the reason Feng Changqing was so determined to divorce rather than take a concubine was because he knew he couldn't have children.

As a woman who cannot have children and has been abandoned by her husband's family, what way is there for her to survive? Isn't her suggestion, which is a compromise, a good one? It's the best of both worlds.

But who knew that in the end, everyone else looked beautiful, but she was the one who sacrificed herself.

Seeing this, the old lady could only continue to comfort her niece, "Don't worry, if you don't want to go back to the Jiang family, Changqing said he can buy you a house in the city that belongs to you. You can live alone with your dowry. Don't be afraid that you can't protect your dowry by yourself. As your aunt, and Changqing as your cousin, we will protect you."

Jiang Xiuxi smiled sarcastically. Her aunt spoke so lightly, but little did she know how bitter a woman's life could be in such chaotic times.

Jiang Xiuxi knew that one of her cousins ​​had found a like-minded "true love" outside of her family because her cousin's husband had studied some kind of psychology while studying abroad.

So he resolutely disregarded his cousin's kindness in taking care of his parents and divorced her, sending her back to the Jiang family, which led to his cousin becoming depressed in the end.

And how similar is her current situation to her cousin's? The only difference is that this mistress is someone she found for her husband!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiuxi couldn't help but sneer inwardly. No matter what, she would never allow herself to follow in her cousin's footsteps, and her Jiang family would never have another woman who was divorced.

In the end, Jiang Xiuxi still refused the Feng family's demands, insisting that she stay at the Feng family's house no matter what.

Seeing this, Feng Changqing patiently had a deep conversation with Jiang Xiuxi, but Jiang Xiuxi remained unmoved, looking at her husband who usually treated her with respect.

At this moment, Feng Changqing was wearing a long robe, gentle and refined, and looked rather thin, but his eyes were fixed firmly on me.

Jiang Xiuxi felt that this was probably the first time her husband had looked at her so seriously.

Before they got married, Jiang Xiuxi had feelings for her husband, who was also her cousin. She was happy for a long time after she was able to marry him.

Jiang Xiuxi had thought that for the rest of their lives, they would be buried together in the ancestral graveyard belonging to the Feng family by their descendants, which would be the best ending and the best final resting place for the couple.

Who knew that fate would be so cruel? Just a few years later, because she couldn't have children, another woman came between them.

She thought that woman was just an insignificant concubine to be used as a tool for procreation, but now she has become a stumbling block to her marriage.

Feng Changqing didn't notice Jiang Xiuxi's distraction just now. Seeing that she was unmoved by everything he said, he could only say it at the end.

"Xiuxi, think carefully about my suggestion before you decide. No matter what, even if we're not husband and wife, we're still cousins."

Seeing that Jiang Xiuxi remained unmoved, Feng Changqing continued to appeal to her emotions, "If you really don't want to go back to your uncle's house, you can live at the Feng family's house from now on. I don't have a sister, so I'll treat you like my own sister."

"While you're still young, if you meet a good man in the future, the Feng family will prepare a dowry for you, along with your existing dowry, to give you a grand and respectable life, and..."

“Impossible. My father taught me from a young age that a woman should not marry twice.” Before Feng Changqing could finish speaking, Jiang Xiuxi interrupted him.

Seeing that Jiang Xiuxi was still so stubborn, Feng Changqing was helpless. "If you don't want to, then don't. But even if you don't agree to a divorce, we will only address each other as brother and sister in public, not as husband and wife."

Anyway, Jiang Xiuxi had never traveled far from home, and apart from relatives and friends, even the local villagers and tenants did not recognize the true face of the eldest son of the Feng family's wife.

When the time comes, Feng Changqing will take Xiangxiang and the child to live outside. We'll talk about the future later.

Feng Changqing knew his suggestion was somewhat awkward, but right now he just wanted to quickly clarify things with Jiang Xiuxi so that Xiangxiang could have a legitimate status.

Everyone is selfish. Feng Changqing only wants to ensure that the people he cares about are not wronged, and he doesn't care about Jiang Xiuxi's situation.

If Jiang Xiuxi really insists on maintaining the status quo, at worst, when Feng Changqing goes out to work, he can take Xiangxiang with him, and then they can rent a house in the city and build a small family of their own.

In this way, they could still be seen as a married couple by outsiders. Although Feng Changqing didn't know what the future held, he didn't want to wrong Xiangxiang.

Seeing her husband's earnest efforts to persuade her for another woman, Jiang Xiuxi felt a chill in her heart. She had grown up in feudal ethics, obeying her father at home and her husband after marriage.

Once she got married, she never considered the possibility of taking another path. Moreover, Jiang Xiuxi believed that compared to Tong Xiangxiang, she was at least a good match for Feng Changqing.

Tong Xiangxiang is just the daughter of a servant, at most she's a bit seductive. How could her aunt and uncle let her cousin run wild like that?

She didn't stop her cousin from taking a concubine, nor did she force them to separate. Was her existence so unacceptable to them?

Jiang Xiuxi asked Feng Changqing, "Cousin, did you inform my family about this decision? You were the one who carried me from the Jiang family to the Feng family in a grand sedan chair. Now you want to send me back? Don't my elders in the Jiang family have the right to know?"

Feng Changqing nodded affirmatively, "Father sent someone to my uncle's house to discuss this, but they said it depends on what you think."
