"So, you can only suffer in silence?"

"yes!"

Ye Caiping said, "Happiness is something you have to fight for. Of course, status and identity are also things you have to fight for!"

Jin Hua was taken aback and looked at her: "Aunt, do you have a plan? I don't want to be his concubine, I want to be his legal wife! Zi Yang and I are truly in love, why should I interfere with another woman!"

Ye Caiping laughed: "That's the right way to think. Come on, let your aunt give you some advice!"

Jin Hua immediately perked up: "Auntie, you tell me."

Ye Caiping said, "Since you're going to be a concubine anyway, why don't you elope with him and have Zhou Ziyang leave a letter for his mother? He won't come back until she agrees to let him marry you as his legal wife."

Jin Hua was stunned. She never imagined that her aunt would teach her to elope!

What is all this nonsense?!

Jin Hua said urgently, "How can that be! Last time Zi Yang made a scene, and Aunt Xie was so angry that she went on a hunger strike and refused to take her medicine."

"Hmph, you and Zhou Ziyang are both too young." Ye Caiping looked at her. "There are no parents in this world who don't love their children. Look at your parents, you made a fuss for a few days, and they softened and agreed."

Jin Hua was stunned and couldn't help but look at the small box, which was her mother's dowry.

He clearly didn't want her to become someone's concubine, but in the end he compromised! He even gave her a dowry!

Ye Caiping added fuel to the fire: "The reason Mrs. Xie didn't compromise is because Zhou Ziyang didn't try hard enough!"

Jin Hua choked, her heart pounding with anxiety.

Is it really that Ziyang didn't work hard enough?

But what my aunt said was all right!

Just like her parents! They had three children, and she wasn't their favorite. Yet, in the end, they still compromised and even gave her a dowry!

And Zhou Ziyang… he's the only son in three generations! If he causes any trouble…

Ye Caiping continued, "Given your current situation, you might as well elope with him. First, you can gain the upper hand and control Mrs. Xie. Second, you can force his fiancée to back down. Once your elopement becomes a big deal, he won't be able to marry a good girl anymore. Take a gamble, and maybe you can become his legal wife."

Jin Hua hesitated: "But what if Aunt Xie doesn't compromise in the end? And what about his fiancée... Wouldn't this be going too far?"

Ye Caiping laughed. She wouldn't even consider Zhou Ziyang having a fiancée. She'd swear on her life that Zhou Ziyang wouldn't elope with Jin Hua!
