Chapter 3: Making the Best of a Mistake

At this time, Jiang Jiu was very sure that Jiang Mingyue was reborn.

Human nature is complex, and we cannot say who is a good person and who is a bad person.

Back then, Jiang Jiu's family was confiscated and the clan was exterminated, and even the clan members avoided it.

Jiang Liu was kind enough to take Jiang Jiu in at that time. Of course, it might also be because their family was too far away from the capital and in a remote small town, so they were not noticed.

It is more likely that he took her in because Jiang Jiu gave her five thousand taels of silver at the outset.

If Jiang Jiu had not been born with a ruptured fetus, he would have very likely developed a personality like Nanny Qian, unwilling to accept defeat, sulking and grumbling.

After traveling through time from the modern era, Jiang Jiu, a bank manager, had seen many strange customers and was no longer surprised.

People die for money and birds die for food. 95% of the world's troubles are brought by money. Troubles that can be solved with money are not troubles, only those that cannot be solved with money are troubles.

Jiang Liu took her in and raised her, and she respected her, and that was all.

Although Jiang Mingyue did not treat her as a real sister, always compared with her and set traps for her, she never really hurt her.

People are selfish. If she wants to live, then she can change her marriage. You have to walk your own path and control your own destiny. No matter what the circumstances, living out your true self is the real victory.

Jiang Jiu sat steadily in the sedan chair. Her dowry included Nanny Qian and two maids, Xiazhi and Chunxiao.

Nanny Qian was her mother's dowry. She brought her all the way from the capital to the Jiang family. She was loyal and cared for her like a mother, always putting her first in everything.

The summer solstice was picked up by a beggar when she was ten years old.

The head maid Chunxiao was originally trained by Liu. She was a maid who accompanied Liu to her wedding and was also a spy planted by Liu.

The two brides got married at the same time, wearing the same wedding dress and the same dowry, but the people who came with them as dowries were different. Jiang Jiu didn't believe that the groom and the wedding party couldn't tell the difference.

But the groom didn't say a word, and the people welcoming the bride didn't say anything either.

Naturally, the Chang family would not be unwilling. When Chang Zhili saw that the woman who gave him Hong Taozi was Jiang Mingyue's wet nurse, his heart skipped a beat and was immediately filled with ecstasy.

Jiang Mingyue was the daughter of County Magistrate Jiang, so naturally her dowry was large and substantial.

Chang Zhili is a scholar, but scholars also need to eat, and paper, ink, pens and inkstones are quite expensive. Although he only has a mother at home, he relies on his mother's embroidery to support him. Now that he is getting married, Jiang Jiu is already a very good choice.

Jiang Jiu was just a distant relative of County Magistrate Jiang, a niece who came to seek refuge. Even if she had a dowry and several sons, he chose County Magistrate Jiang as his backer.

Now he has become a real father-in-law, which is of course a surprise.

As for Lu Yunyang, he was handsome and there were many women willing to marry him. His marriage was arranged by his family, so it didn't matter to him who he married.

Let's make the best of a bad situation.

After the wedding, Jiang Jiu was sent to the bridal chamber. If everything had gone smoothly, Lu Yunyang would not be called a playboy.

It was already dark, and Lu Yunyang had not returned since he went out to offer the wine. The whole family was waiting for the bridal chamber to be opened, and the guests of the Lu family were getting impatient.

Mr. Lu was so angry that his beard was shaking: "Find him for me. Even if he dies drunk outside today, you have to carry him back for me."

Mrs. Lu was also helpless: "Why didn't you watch? Today is an unusual day. Even if it's tomorrow, she is the daughter of County Magistrate Jiang after all. This boy really doesn't know the seriousness of the matter."

Although the county magistrate is of a low rank, he is still an official. As the saying goes, the people do not fight against the officials.

The servant beside Lu Yunyang was also anxious: "I was watching her originally. Yes, I left in a hurry because I heard that Miss Nichang from Huajianlou was sick. She should be back soon."

There was a panic outside.

In the new house, Jiang Jiu slowly exhaled and lifted the veil.

"Chunxiao, I'm hungry. Go find me something to eat."

Chun Xiao stamped her feet anxiously: "The aunt didn't come back, and the girl took off the veil herself, which is against the rules."

Jiang Jiu looked for food in the house: "It doesn't matter, I'll cover it when he comes back. Who knows, he might not come back tonight, so I have to cover my head even when I sleep."

Nanny Qian was pacing anxiously outside the bridal chamber. The groom hadn't come back yet and she felt sorry for Jiang Jiu who was being wronged.

"This kid from the Lu family is too ridiculous. How could he do this?"

At this time, Xia Zhi came running over in a hurry, carrying a small bag full of snacks.

"Mammy, hurry up and fill the girl's stomach. She hasn't eaten all day."

"Xia Zhi is the one who cares about me." Jiang Jiu grabbed a cake and took a bite.

I haven't eaten for a day. I'm starving.

As soon as Xia Zhi entered the house, Aunt Qian saw eight beautiful young ladies rushing in.

"Mammy, we are the young master's concubines, and we have come to pay our respects to the young lady."

Aunt Qian frowned: "Come to pay respects now? Shouldn't it be tomorrow?"

The leading woman had a round face and big eyes. She smiled before she spoke and looked very friendly.

But the words he spoke were like nails, piercing his heart.

"Tomorrow? Anyway, the young master is not at home, and he may not come back tomorrow. We may not be able to get up tomorrow morning. It is better to meet now, so that we don't have to worry about it in the future."

This is relying on the master's favor to give the bride a warning.
