"Grandmother, please rest assured, I will not marry him," she said coldly.
"What did you say?" Old Madam Chang asked with a hint of surprise.
Mosquito is a pretty good match for Chang Jiao; marrying him wouldn't be a bad thing for her.
"Didn't Grandmother want me to stay and take care of you and my grandnephew?"
So I did as my grandmother wished and brought my little nephew home later that evening.
"You." Old Madam Chang pointed at her, speechless.
She did have this idea, but she never intended for Chang Jiao to grow old alone. She just wanted to... to get her to pay more attention to the Chang family.
The mosquito said somewhat dejectedly, "If you change your mind sometime, come find me again." After a pause, she added, "I have no intention of forcing you into marriage."
He just wanted to take care of her and be good to her for the rest of his life.
Chang Jiao stared intently at the mosquito for a long time before slightly tugging at the corners of her mouth and revealing a smile. "Thank you for your kindness."
She had considered getting married, but when she thought of the old man in front of her, she no longer wanted to marry.
This is a burden she can never get rid of; she can't bring this person to Mosquito's house anymore.
She personally took the mosquito out of the house, and when she returned to the house, she said to Madam Chang, "I've gone to fetch the child."
What exactly do you want?
She said sternly, "Shang Tian owes our family a debt, so what's wrong with him raising our child for us?"
Chang Jiao looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "In what way has Your Highness wronged the Chang family?"
Chang Xiao was forced to the battlefield by you, and Chang An was sent to the battlefield by your own hands back then, all for the honor of the Chang family.
"Now, even if I die standing here, it's to protect the people of Jizhou. What does it have to do with Shang Tian?"
What does this have to do with Shang Tian?
Because he is a king, he is powerful, and he wants fame, so... so...
Madam Chang took a deep breath, unwilling to think any further. "I said no, and that means no."
If we bring the child back, who will take care of him/her?
She was getting old, but Chang Jiao would get married sooner or later. How could her husband's family agree to her bringing a distant relative into the family?
Suddenly, she thought of mosquitoes again. If it were mosquitoes, she would probably be willing, right?
He liked Chang Jiao so much...
A pang of regret arose in Madam Chang's heart; she shouldn't have stirred up trouble.
"Grandmother, have you forgotten that the reason why my grand-nephew was able to be raised in the Shang family is largely because I am a concubine of the Shang family?"
I have absolutely no connection with the Shang family now.
Old Madam Chang's body went limp. Yes, how could she have forgotten?
What should we do now?
"Jiaojiao," she called out with a hint of pleading.
Chang Jiao said expressionlessly, "I will raise him, so don't worry."
As long as I have food, he won't be short of it.
If I didn't have him, he would have starved to death with me.
Old Madam Chang knew that Chang Jiao was truly capable of such a thing. She gripped Chang Jiao's hem tightly and said, "And Mosquito, doesn't he want to marry you?"
"If you marry him, there won't be any problems. He's capable of supporting both of you."
"Grandmother is joking again. My little nephew and I are almost beyond the fifth degree of kinship, aren't we?"
I've heard of people asking their husband's family to help raise their brothers' and nephews, but I've never heard of asking them to help raise relatives who are almost beyond the fifth degree of kinship.
Beyond the fifth degree of kinship, they can only be considered clansmen, but there are not many relatives left; they are only slightly better than strangers.
Old Madam Chang was in tears. Everything she had done was right; she had done it for the Chang family.
But she never imagined that she would face such a predicament in her lifetime.
