After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l
Chapter 277 Would you be willing to marry me?
"Even if we don't get along, I'll deal with this matter first, then divorce my husband, and take the children back to the Jiang family to live a normal life."
Jiang Yuyue spoke casually, as if the matter had nothing to do with her at all, "Anyway, it's just to fool Song Jinglan, there's no need to take it too seriously."
Although she already knew her older sister's personality, Jiang Huanxi still felt a little uncomfortable with her unrestrained style.
"OK then."
Thinking that the matter was urgent, Jiang Huanxi couldn't care less about such details at the moment. She sighed and said, "Then sister, why don't you come home with me first? Such an important matter should be discussed with our parents."
After the siblings returned to the Jiang family, Jiang Yuyue explained her plan to her parents in detail. Upon hearing this, both of them were quite surprised.
"Moon! How can such a serious matter as marriage be treated so lightly!"
Madam Jiang frowned. "You've already suffered enough by disguising yourself as a man for four whole years. Now that you're going to return to your female identity, your parents must find you a proper marriage. How can we arrange it so hastily?"
"mother."
Jiang Yuyue's words carried a hint of helplessness, "I know my parents' good intentions, but this time the situation is different, and there is really no time to make detailed preparations."
"Besides, I've been married once before, and I've long since become indifferent to marriage. Back then, wasn't the Xie family a good match that my parents carefully selected? But in the end, we still entrusted ourselves to the wrong person."
"Even if my parents truly want what's best for me, if they find someone suitable later, we can get a divorce after this ordeal and then arrange a new marriage."
Mentioning the Xie family, both Mr. and Mrs. Jiang's expressions darkened, and they felt even more indebted to their daughter when they thought about this matter.
Jiang Yuyue naturally noticed this as well, and sighed again, "It was my fault for bringing up your painful memories, but this matter cannot be delayed any longer. Please think it over carefully and make a decision as soon as possible."
After Jiang Yuyue's persuasion, although Jiang's parents felt it was somewhat inappropriate, they ultimately accepted her choice.
"OK then."
Father Jiang sighed, “Then your father and I will set about finding a suitable candidate for you. Although your requirements are not high, this matter is too bold. We still need to find someone we know well.”
"You should go and rest now. Your parents will take care of this for you."
Seeing that they had finally relented, Jiang Yuyue was relieved. As long as her husband was settled, the marriage could be officially announced in three to five days. Even if Song Jinglan had wings, he certainly wouldn't be able to return so quickly.
Seeing that a solution had been found, Jiang Yuyue felt much lighter. She had worn this human skin mask for four years, and now she could finally use her own identity again, which was really good.
Jiang's parents acted quickly; within half a day, they had gathered seven or eight suitable candidates and presented their detailed identities and portraits to Jiang Yuyue.
"This is a distant relative of our Shen family. You should call him your cousin. Although he's not good at anything, he's honest."
Madam Jiang pointed to the portraits and introduced them one by one, "And this one, is the son of your father's old friend..."
Jiang Yuyue looked through the stack of papers in her hand, her brows furrowed, seemingly without finding a satisfactory candidate.
"Mother, do the people you've chosen know that this marriage is just a charade?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yuyue's words, Madam Jiang paused in surprise.
Looking at the expression on her face, Jiang Yuyue sighed.
"I am not truly committed to this marriage, so I must make sure they understand that I have no intention of marrying into their family. Otherwise, wouldn't I be unnecessarily causing them trouble?"
"If we deceive them like this, and things really escalate and we break off all ties, how will our Jiang family maintain its standing in Jinling?"
Madam Jiang was quite troubled upon hearing this. "But... but where can we find such a person in such a short time? These people have some connection with our family, after all. We can explain things to them in detail after the marriage, and they should still be able to help us."
Jiang Yuyue shook her head. "Mother, we can't gamble on this."
Although it was meant to deceive Song Jinglan, if the husband's family refused to cooperate and Song Jinglan found out the truth, wouldn't that give him another opportunity to lash out?
Seeing that the matter had reached a stalemate, Steward Xiang, who was standing by, stepped forward and bowed to Madam Jiang and Jiang Yuyue.
"Please forgive my rudeness, Madam and Miss. If you don't mind, my son Xiang Suiyuan might be able to solve our current urgent problem."
Xiang Suiyuan?
Jiang Yuyue knew this person; he was the son of Butler Xiang, and they had a good relationship. He had grown up in the Jiang family since he was a child, and she had always followed him around calling him "Brother Yuan" when she was young.
However, after he grew a little older, we saw him less often. Xiang Suiyuan was sent out to help the Jiang family manage their estate. He has always been conscientious and hardworking, and is indeed an honest person.
Moreover, thanks to Steward Xiang's loyalty, the two families became as close as family. The Jiang family helped purchase most of the Xiang family's land and property. Even Xiang Suiyuan's son was arranged by the Jiang family to study at the academy with Jiang Qimo.
Unfortunately, this man had a hard life. A few years ago, after getting married, his wife died in childbirth, passing away after giving birth to only one child. Since then, Xiang Suiyuan has remained single and never remarried, always cherishing the bond he had with his deceased wife.
Thinking about it that way, he really is a suitable candidate!
Seeing that there was no suspicion of deception and that she knew the truth about him, Jiang Yuyue's eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward.
"Is what you said, Butler, true? And... is he willing?"
"Why would he be unwilling? If Miss is worried, you can call him here now to discuss it with him."
He said to the steward, "It would be our family's blessing to be able to help Miss. However, if Miss chooses my son and marries into the Xiang family, she may suffer some grievances in terms of reputation."
"At this point, why talk about feeling wronged or not?"
Jiang Yuyue's heart stirred slightly, and she just wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible. "Then I'll trouble the steward to invite Brother Yuan over and ask him. If he's willing to help, we can finalize this matter sooner!"
Madam Jiang nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and then sent someone to invite Xiang Suiyuan. Before long, Xiang Suiyuan arrived at the hall.
"Greetings, Madam and Young Master."
Xiang Suiyuan bowed to the two women. The man in front of her was not particularly handsome, and his skin was rough due to years of hard work, but his eyes were exceptionally sincere. One look was enough to tell that he was a man with no ulterior motives.
"Brother Yuan."
Jiang Yuyue stepped forward and got straight to the point, "I have a favor to ask of you right now, and I wonder if... you would be willing to marry me?"
