Chapter 2: New Goals in Life



The carriage slowly returned home. Jiang Ruohua rested on a soft pillow with her eyes closed, thinking about her home, the Duke's Mansion of the Daqi Dynasty. Her ancestors for three generations were all great generals with outstanding military achievements. Her great-grandfather followed the founding emperor to build the country of the Daqi Dynasty. Her grandfather expanded the territory for the Daqi Dynasty when he was young. Her father quelled the rebellion and guarded the border to protect the people of the world. A good father will have

a good daughter.

Her father taught her kung fu, but the third wife said that it was rude for a woman to wield a sword and a gun. If she wanted to be a good princess, she must be gentle, so that she could bring honor to the royal family and the Duke's Mansion.

So she did it.

The result was that in the dream, the Prince of Ying used her and the Duke's Mansion to ascend the throne, but was afraid that the Duke's Mansion would become too powerful, so he framed the Duke's Mansion for collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country. She remembered that the people who worked on the front line for the Prince of Ying to frame the Duke's Mansion and denounced the

Duke's Mansion were the people from the third room. Everything in the dream made her feel absurd and suffocated. She tried hard to be a perfect princess for the Prince of Ying, but this was the ending. The Daqi Dynasty clearly distinguished between legitimate and illegitimate children, but the Duke's Mansion had never treated the illegitimate third room harshly. If it weren't for God letting her dream of the future, she would not have believed that the third room, who were treated as relatives, could be so cold and cruel!

Her grandfather had only three children: her eldest uncle, her father, and her third uncle. Her eldest uncle died in battle at an early age and had not yet started a family. Her father had only her as a daughter. After her mother died of illness, her father refused to remarry and went to the border alone to live in danger. The glory and wealth of the Duke's Mansion passed through her father's hands, and would eventually fall into the hands of the third wife, but they were still so impatient.

In this case, she would not want the title of Princess of Ying or the engagement with the King of Ying! Even though the imperial power was paramount, Jiang Ruohua did not want to suffer grievances every day like in her dreams. The daughters of the Jiang family were never easy to bully!

And the third wife should not even dream of anything in the Duke's Mansion! We must strike first and eradicate the problem completely to prevent future troubles!

"Miss." Hua Chan fanned her with a little worry on his face, "You broke off the engagement without saying anything a few days ago. Didn't you really need to inform the Duke and the Third Madam?" "

The Third Madam will know." She broke off the engagement because the people from the Third House were away and couldn't come back. Otherwise, the huge Duke's Mansion was in the hands of the Third Madam. If she didn't act first and report later, she would be locked up in this mansion by the Third Madam until she was convinced.

Calm and relaxed, Jiang Ruohua thought about the things that happened in the dream, and then she realized how narrow-minded she was in the past. No wonder other noble ladies didn't want to get involved with her. On

the one hand, they were afraid of the strength of the Duke's Mansion, and they were afraid that their father and brother would be suppressed by the Jiang family in the court. On the other hand, they really couldn't stand her being timid and timid.

Thinking back now, the people who occasionally spoke to her were all full of sarcasm. Those people knew that she would not make a big deal at that time, so they spoke without mercy.

She did not tell her family. After all, there were not many elders in the Duke's Mansion. Her grandfather had been recuperating since his injury. Her mother died early. If she had to tell anything, she would have to contact the Third Lady. The Third Lady always preached to her, saying that being tolerant can highlight her excellence. She also said that the royal family's wives represent the face of the royal family, so who can't be tolerant?

The Third Lady was smart and knew that she was proud and could not be easily tortured into an inferior and cowardly puppet. So she relied on her marriage for everything, and used what the princess and even the future queen should do to let herself fall into her hands step by step.

Jiang Ruohua sighed. In her dream, she did pay attention to these things. In fact, she also paid attention to these things in the past. As a woman, she must not lose the face of her family before getting married, and she must not lose the face

of her husband's family after getting married. Especially marrying into the royal family and becoming an existence recorded in the imperial book, in her eyes, it is the supreme honor, and it is also the existence that many women emulate and yearn for. She has been strong all her life. After listening to the words of the third lady, she has been strictly demanding herself according to the words of the third lady, so that she suddenly realized that there was no one around her who she liked.

Now think about it, if she was willing to talk a little bit to those noble ladies who were worried about her at the beginning, maybe she would know that other people's family education is not like this at all.

She believed in the Third Lady without a doubt, so she naturally rejected the truth in disguise.

It was not until she had been in the Prince of Ying's mansion for many years in her dream that she gradually realized how ridiculous she had been in the past. Suddenly she felt ridiculous. She did not have any romantic feelings for the Prince of Ying. She only knew that their marriage was unusual. Being the Princess of Ying was her pursuit for this marriage. Therefore, she never took Zhao Yuexi to heart. The noble ladies who could really achieve her level and become the wives of the royal family cared about the position of the Princess rather than the feelings of the Prince. That was something that only women without family background would pursue.

Therefore, it didn't matter if the Prince of Ying was willing to sleep with Zhao Yuexi for the rest of his life, but he should never humiliate her as the Princess and use the Duke's Mansion to discard her like a worn-out shoe!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruohua's eyes turned cold. She saw her grandfather and father being killed in her dream, and she felt that her anger was hard to contain. Since she decided to cancel the engagement with King Ying a few days ago, she was destined to have no connection with the royal family in the future. In this case, it didn't matter whether the marriage was there or not, or it was just right that it didn't happen.

She didn't want to get married and end up being used by her husband's family in the Duke's Mansion, which was almost the same as in her dream. Her father was destined to inherit the Duke's Mansion. If she wanted to prevent the century-old foundation of the Duke's Mansion from falling into the hands of the third house, she couldn't just get rid of the third house, but also had to hold everything firmly in her own hands!

In the Daqi Dynasty, if a woman wanted to protect and inherit her father's family business, she could either marry a son-in-law, but after her father passed away, everything would still fall into the hands of the son-in-law, which she didn't consider.

Another goal is for a woman to have the status of being able to establish her own family and inherit the family business in a

legitimate way, that is, to be awarded the title of Princess. After setting the goal, Jiang Ruohua relaxed her brows. Hua Chan, who had seen all this, breathed a sigh of relief. The young lady had always been very capable, but she had said nothing over the years, so she must have suffered a lot. She grew up with the young lady, and she felt really sorry for her. She thought about it and changed the subject to ask something else.

"By the way, Miss, when the Tian family arranged a marriage, many people endured the pain of getting married. How did you cancel the marriage so easily?"

Hearing her question, Jiang Ruhua smiled mysteriously and said slowly, "Of course, it's because the Jiang family holds the military power."

Of course, this is only part of the reason. In fact, after entering the palace, she first went to pay a visit to the Queen Mother. The Jiang family served the country loyally. She first hinted to the Queen Mother that the Jiang family was in a high position and had great power in the court. Then she said that the Jiang family had no successor, and the most important military power would all return to the hands of the Tian family.
