Chapter 10 Selection
Shen Yuanzhu stroked her chin and muttered, "The marriage agreement between the Xie and Shen families cannot be changed, but that doesn't mean we can't find someone else."
"You want to change your husband?"
Ling'er hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, you mustn't."
Madam Luo snorted: "Why can't it be? Xie Xuchuan dared to do such a thing, why can't our young lady be replaced?"
"Please don't cause any trouble for the young lady."
Ling'er shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum: "Miss, we have all seen how the young master of the Xie family has treated you over the years."
"It must be Jiang Wansu who seduced Young Master Xie, leading him astray. He will eventually see how good Miss is and return to her side."
"The affection between the two of you over the years cannot be faked."
"And as you said, Miss, the marriage agreement between the Xie and Chen families cannot be touched. So, besides Xie Xuchuan, where else in the Xie family is there a more suitable candidate?"
"The only eligible unmarried member of the Xie family right now is Xie Jingyuan, the third uncle of young master Xie, but he is already twenty years old this year, and is five years older than young lady."
"Then there's Xie Qi, the elusive twin brother of Young Master Xie."
"But you've been engaged to the Xie family for so long and haven't even met Xie Qi once. He might be crazy, stupid, sick, or disabled."
"The rest are all toddlers who are three to five years old. Tell me, who else can we replace them with?"
Ling'er earnestly advised, "Miss, Young Master Xie and Jiang Wansu are acting recklessly, but Old Madam Xie and Madam Xie are reasonable."
"Tomorrow, you should go to the Xie family and ask Old Madam Xie to make the decision for you."
"The old lady likes you. If you go and beg her, she will definitely get rid of Jiang Wansu."
"At that time..."
Ling'er gritted her teeth, revealing a hint of ruthlessness: "At worst, I'll just force down a bowl of abortifacient medicine, and then there will be no more obstacles between you and Young Master Xie."
"Silly Ling'er."
Shen Yuanzhu's skin was delicate and fair, but just by rubbing her chin, a blush appeared on her cheeks.
She casually poked Ling'er's forehead: "The reason my wet nurse and I thought about replacing her wasn't because of Jiang Wansu at all. It was because we could see from this incident that Xie Xuchuan's aptitude was too poor."
If Xie Xuchuan were a smart man, he wouldn't have done such a thing with Jiang Wansu when their wedding was approaching.
Even if he was momentarily blinded by lust, if he were decisive, he shouldn't have brought this matter to her attention.
Since the other party has spoken to her, it at least shows that Xie Xuchuan is determined to recognize the child as his legitimate son and have him inherit the Xie family's business.
No matter how much she likes a foolish, lustful, powerless, and delusional young master, he is definitely not a good confidant with whom she can make progress together.
Even if such a person were to become the manager of Xiecuifang, she wouldn't agree, let alone become her husband and spend a hundred years with him.
Thinking that she hadn't been able to see Xie Xuchuan's true character all these years, Shen Yuanzhu rubbed her round cheeks in annoyance.
"I could go to Madam Xie, but what good would it do?"
"Fools don't suddenly become smart. This time you did something ridiculous and went to Madam Xie, but what about next time, and the time after that?"
Shen Yuanzhu said with a sigh, "This mess can never be cleaned up."
She didn't want to be like her mother, spending the rest of her life worrying about protecting her child and being wary of her husband.
Her husband can be ordinary, but he must never be a burden to her.
That's what they say...
Ling'er looked at Shen Yuanzhu with heartache, tears streaming down her face: "Miss, have you ever thought that no matter who you marry into the Xie family, you can't escape the influence of Young Master Xie..."
"You and Young Master Xie were childhood sweethearts and engaged for over ten years. Not to mention the Xie family, who in the entire Suzhou Prefecture doesn't know about this golden match between the Xie and Chen families?"
"Who doesn't know that you and Young Master Xie have a deep affection for each other?"
"No man can accept that his wife has been engaged to someone else, let alone that you, Miss, are betrothed to two different men..."
“If you choose another husband in the future, I’m afraid your new son-in-law will hear some gossip and become upset, and won’t treat you well.”
