Chapter 262
Qin Jiu: “After a woman gets married, she has to show filial respect to her parents-in-law and raise her children. This is already very hard enough, so if her husband doesn’t know how to be considerate to her, her life will be too miserable.”
“Anyway, we have dowry, money, hands, and feet. Why should we wrong ourselves!?”
“If the husband is not good then kick him out, isn’t it much better to live happily on your own dowry?!”
“Why do you have to work hard for a heartless scum, and work yourself into old age! Life is just a few decades, be happy.”
Qin Jiu spoke eloquently.
Yun Jiao tilted her face and was still a bit confused but felt that what Qin Jiu said seemed reasonable, on the other hand, she felt that something was not quite right, as if it was completely different from what she had heard since she was a child.
Qin Jiu continued to tell her “truth”: “You see, wangfei is elegant and dignified. She comes from a Zanying Noble Family and has a son. She has no shortage of anything. In the first half of her life, she worked hard to manage the internal affairs of wangye, but she didn’t get a word of thanks.”
“After the divorce, she can do whatever she wants, so why does she have to condemn herself to babysit concubines and raise concubine sons for Duan Wangye?”
Qin Jiu’s words sounded logical, and Yun Jiao was drawn in by her without her knowing it. She was reminded of her mother, Madam Weiyuan. Her father treated her mother well, but at the same time, her mother was also bullied for no good reason by her father’s concubine and concubine-born children.
Yun Jiao nodded: “You are right, Third Miss Qin!”
Her dark eyes flickered and flashed, her gaze burning at Qin Jiu.
After expressing her thoughts straightforwardly and in a cheerful mood, Qin Jiu nodded and said, “That’s for sure.”
She looked at Yun Jiao a little friendlier, thinking that the little girl in front of her was really a child who could be taught!
“Du Ruo, let’s have these three books.” Qin Jiu gave Du Ruo the three books she had picked out and told her to go check them out.
As soon as she finished giving her orders, she heard Yun Jiao say with a hint of expectation: “…it would be great if the emperor would also allow me to divorce in the future.”
Qin Jiu: “…”
Yun Jiao pouted her small mouth and said with a sigh, “Third Miss Qin, have you heard about me…”
Her words were not clear, but Qin Jiu knew that she was talking about her marriage with second prince Gu Jing and after a short thought, she nodded.
“What do you think?” Yun Jiao’s voice was lowered a few more times, and her expression wilted.
Qin Jiu: “…”
Qin Jiu picked up the book again and flipped it without saying anything.
Yun Jiao looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then tugged on Qin Jiu’s sleeve and whispered, “It’s just the two of us here, I’m actually bothered and confused inside.”
At the moment, there are only two customers in the bookstore, and Du Ruo was checking out with the owner on the other side.
“Not a good match.” Qin Jiu gave four words in a concise manner.
In this novel, the hero and heroine were a couple, and anyone who interfered with them would have no good end.
Although she and Yun Jiao only had only met each other a few times and were not very familiar with each other, she still knew that the girl from the Yun Mansion had a forthright disposition. And she has now been dragged into the hero and heroine’s love affair for no good reason, it seems that her bad luck for eight lifetimes was being used now.
Thinking about it, Qin Jiu’s face showed obvious sympathy, thinking that the other party should really go to the temple to worship and get rid of her bad luck.
Yun Jiao naturally saw it, shrugged her shoulders, and said, “You also think I have bad luck.”
After a pause, she couldn’t help but add, “It’s just like stepping on dog poop!”
When she said the first sentence, Qin Jiu could still bear it but when Yun Jiao said the second sentence, Qin Jiu couldn’t hold it and burst out laughing.
Yun Jiao sighed dejectedly, “My parents don’t want to agree, and so do I. But Empress Dowager sent her momo to ask about my birthday last time, and I’m afraid I can’t refuse.”
“As soon as I heard what you said, I thought, if I can’t avoid this marriage, I’d better find a way to leave in the future, and then I will live freely with my dowry.”
Yun Jiao’s small mouth pouted almost like she could hang an oil bottle, she looked both wronged and depressed. She really does not understand why Empress Dowager took a liking to her, could she still change herself?
Qin Jiu felt that the other party was like a pitiful cat, and her hands couldn’t help but felt itchy as she wanted to rub her soft hair.
Closing the book, Qin Jiu said meaningfully, “Miss Jiao, the emperor didn’t grant a marriage yet.”
Yun Jiao: “?”
Qin Jiu winked her right eye at her, then walked towards the owner of the bookstore and pointed at the book, “Boss, this one, I’ll take it too.”
Yun Jiao was afraid that she would lose against the authorities, so she hasn’t realized this truth yet.
It stands to reason that after the second prince and Qin Xin broke off their engagement, the imperial family should arrange a marriage for the second prince as soon as possible, as to alleviate the impact of this incident on the imperial family and suppress outside speculation and gossip.
So, Empress Dowager Liu has already chosen the new bride, and she also has chosen a new second additional concubine but the emperor has not conferred a marriage even after a long time, which means that the emperor does not agree.
Although Qin Jiu did not know whether the emperor would compromise with the empress dowager in the end, if the Yun family really did not want this marriage, now was a good opportunity to show their intention to the emperor.
Yun Jiao stood in the same place and looked at Qin Jiu’s back. She closed her mouth thoughtfully as her eyes lit up and suddenly felt a sense of relief.
She quickened her pace and caught up with Qin Jiu, giving her an intimate hug, “Third Miss Qin, thank you.”
Yun Jiao was so happy that she left a silver ingot and went away with three books in her arms, without letting the boss change her money.
Looking at the lively back of the young girl, Qin Jiu smiled and said: I hope she gets what she wants and does not marry a scum!
Du Ruo look at Yun Jiao, then look at her young miss, and felt that for the short time she was away, something extraordinary must have happened.
After buying the book, Qin Jiu went to the snack shop next door and bought some snacks. Shen then went back to the Marquis Mansion and gave her younger brother a snack, thinking that the naughty boy has been practicing martial arts diligently with his master these days.
The next day, she visited Duan Wang Fei again with the books she had just bought.
On the third day, she brought some small embroideries bought by the embroidery workshop.
On the fourth day, she went out of her way to buy the snacks just produced by Jinshiji.
And on the fifth day, when she went to Jinyu Alley again, she saw a new plaque erected in front of the gate, with the words “Xiao’s Mansion” written on it.
