Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...

Chapter 189 You Can Only Marry Me in This Life

"My personal opinion is very simple." Du Wanwan looked at Ye Zhenghai and Shen Xiangxiu, then turned her gaze to Ye Tingxiao, "I want him to marry only me in this life, and he cannot have any concubines or maids in the backyard."

"No problem." Chen Xiangxiu answered without thinking, "Men from the Ye family are not lustful people."

Ye Zhenghai had an unnatural expression on his face. He felt that Chen Xiangxiu spoke too quickly. What was there to say about such things? Wasn't it more important to experience it yourself?

"That's fine. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but too many wives and concubines means more disputes. Without them, it's more peaceful. You don't have to worry about disputes between wives and concubines."

Ye Tingxiao had already expressed his opinion, so he didn't say anything. He just smiled and looked at Du Wanwan with burning eyes.

I feel like she is different. She can clearly express her jealousy and put it as a condition. If her parents don't agree, she will never agree to this marriage.

Seeing that her future parents-in-law agreed so readily, Du Wanwan didn't know what to say anymore. She looked at Du Jiang and said, "Dad! Why don't you just agree to it?"

Matchmaker: “????”

So you called me here just for show? You don't even need to ask for my opinion?

When Ye Tingxiao heard her words, the corners of his mouth curved wider instantly, and he looked overjoyed.

Ye Zhenghai looked at Du Jiang and said, "Brother Du! Just agree to it! The child is willing, so let's just go through the motions."

Yao Meixian in the kitchen was also happy for her daughter after hearing this. Although the Ye family was a wealthy and powerful family, the Marquis and his wife were not the kind of people who cared about status. What they valued should be their daughter's ability.

Du Xiuxiu was also happy for Du Wanwan: "Mom! Is my elder sister going to get married? Isn't it true that our family will have two weddings this year?"

"I'm afraid your eldest sister will have to wait until next year. It's too late this year." Yao Meixian's eyebrows showed a gentle smile, "Mom is so happy that your eldest brother is married and your eldest sister will soon be married too.

Your second brother passed the examination for Tongsheng, and will take the examination for Xiucai next spring. If he passes, we will have a scholar in our family."

Thinking about the future, Yao Meixian felt sweet in her heart.

Du Jiang glanced at his daughter, then looked at Ye Tingxiao meaningfully: "As long as Wanwan likes him, I have no objection. But this is the condition of our family. You can't use this as an excuse to bully my Wanwan in the future."

"That's impossible." Ye Zhenghai patted Du Jiang's shoulder, "We are not that kind of people, and neither is Zhongyuan. It's said that heroes are not judged by their origins. The fact that our Zhongyuan can marry Wanwan is a blessing from his previous life."

The matchmaker couldn't get a word in. She was just a decoration throughout the whole process. The couple was really a perfect match, so she didn't need to waste her words.

This matchmaking trip is really easy. All you have to do is sit back and smile, and you can get the matchmaker fee for free.

Chen Xiangxiu also patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry! Wanwan is the daughter-in-law we have chosen. How can we despise her background? So what if some people have a good background? But do they have the ability of my Wanwan?"

Du Wanwan lowered her head and said nothing. She felt that her future mother-in-law was very straightforward. If she were an incompetent person, she probably would not agree to let Ye Tingxiao marry her.

Then I thought about it and it made sense. Marriages for children have always been arranged for the sake of profit. This seems to be the same whether in ancient times or modern times.

All right! Considering that Ye Tingxiao was not bad looking and he was deeply in love with her, she reluctantly accepted it.

Du Jiang didn't know how to answer this question. His Wanwan's ability was no exaggeration. Many stubborn diseases that had not been cured could be cured in just a few days in her hands.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to marry the Chu family’s legitimate daughter as his daughter-in-law.

Just because Wanwan cured her illness, the child was grateful and volunteered to marry into the Du family.

After the marriage was settled, Ye Zhenghai and Shen Xiangxiu had lunch at Du's house and then went back, while Ye Tingxiao went to the farm outside the city.

Hearing that his elder brother-in-law had done a great job in managing the manor, he wanted to go and take a look. The Ye family would become more powerful in the future, and they would definitely select a group of people from the manor to supplement the military camp.

The marriage between Du Wanwan and Ye Tingxiao was finalized, and the news instantly spread throughout the entire Liangjun City.

Everyone knew clearly that to have the Marquis and his wife come to propose marriage together, she was no longer an ordinary concubine, but a princess of the crown prince.

The old lady and the eldest uncle of the Chu family also got the news, and their worries were finally put to rest. The bet on their granddaughter's marriage was a good one, and the Du family was about to turn things around and become the new rich.

Chu Hanfeng also got the news, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face. She would be getting married in a few months, so how could she not be happy?

Chu Hanlan gritted her teeth when she got the news. How blind must she have been to refuse this marriage.

What should she do now to win Mr. Du's attention? She has thought of many ways, but to no avail.

Why? Because she was grounded and couldn't go out.

The old lady and father restricted her freedom, and her aunt was sent away. There was no one around her to give her advice or to cover for her.

Seeing that Chu Hanfeng, the disaster star, was about to marry into the Du family and she could do nothing about it, Chu Hanlan was furious, but there was nothing she could do but to hold her anger in her heart.

The old lady of the Chu family sent someone to call Chu Hanfeng over to discuss the dowry. The original preparations now seemed a little thin, and she had to add a little more to make it more appropriate.

The Du family is a relative of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, and their Chu family is a relative of the Du family. In this way, the status of the Chu family's merchants will be improved.

In the eyes of the major families in Liang County, she was considered to be of high rank. If they met in the future and found out that their granddaughter's dowry was too small, it would be tantamount to lowering their status.

How could they do such a thing? The dowry must be of a higher quality. Even if it cannot be a ten-mile red dowry, it must be presentable in Liangjun City.

Chu Hanfeng arrived at the old lady's yard, greeted her, and also greeted the old man of the Chu family before sitting down.

She asked with a smile: "Grandma called your granddaughter here, but what do you want to tell her?"

The more the old lady of the Chu family looked at her granddaughter, the more satisfied she was. After all, she was a legitimate daughter, knew her limits, and had vision. It was she who had proposed the marriage with the Du family in the first place. Otherwise, the Chu family would not have been able to establish a marriage relationship with the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion.

"Feng'er! Grandmother is thinking about your dowry, but it seems a little short now. I'll give you a farm outside the city! There are three hundred acres of good farmland on the farm. What do you think?"

"No need." Chu Hanfeng declined with a smile, "Grandma! My granddaughter is marrying the son of the Du family. Your guess is correct. The Du family will not build up their family business on a large scale just because of the marriage with the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion.

When my granddaughter gets married, she will not take away any of her husband’s property, not even the servants or maids. All my granddaughter wants is a few shops under her own name.”

Uncle Chu didn't understand: "Why is this?"

The old lady saw something and sighed, "That's fine. You don't have to take the servants and maids with you, but you still have to take the dowry and the farm. After all, you are the eldest daughter of our Chu family. If the dowry is too little, how can the Chu family face people?"
