“If Grandmother, Aunt, and Fourth Uncle have all forgotten that period of time, you might as well think about something that happened when Second Master Bai and Third Master Bai got married,” Bai Shijun added.
"You mean, the one who took a liking to your third aunt was the second son?" the princess asked instinctively.
Her twins were born within a quarter of an hour of each other and married within three months of each other. The younger twin married in the twelfth lunar month, and the younger twin married in the second lunar month of the following year.
Before her third son got married, he was impulsive and reckless. He was so desperate for a peasant girl, but suddenly he was willing to go on a date with a girl from the Jiang family. At the time, she was quite puzzled.
As it turned out, the King of Donglin said that he probably got anxious because he saw that his second son had already settled down with the He family girl.
The princess remembered that she had given a large sum of money to the peasant girl's family, asking them to move away from Taizhou Prefecture, the farther the better.
Although they were also born in the countryside, the princess was very disciplined and valued social standing in marriage; she never even considered the farm girl.
“Impossible!” Jiang was the first to deny it. “When we were talking, he told me that he really liked another girl, but that girl suddenly moved away and might not be able to treat me well right away. But he said that if he married me, he would take responsibility for me. There is no rule in the Prince’s Mansion about taking concubines. After several meetings, I finally agreed.”
"Why not? Second Master Bai took a liking to you and wanted to keep you. He could easily switch identities to Third Master Bai. Third Master Bai has someone else in his heart and wouldn't really settle down with you, so he wouldn't care about you. The time you mentioned before the wedding, it was always Second Master Bai who interacted with you. Third Master Bai's sweetheart suddenly disappeared, and he was completely devastated. That coincides with the time he went to the other courtyard to recuperate, and after recovering, he prepared for the wedding." Bai Shijun spoke confidently, as if he knew everything about his parents' youth. "He was indeed recuperating, but it was Third Master Bai who went to recuperate. His heartbreak took many years to heal. Grandmother, do you know that Third Master Bai later met that peasant girl?"
"Second Brother, do you mean that Second Uncle was in love with Third Aunt, but when Grandpa and Grandma arranged the marriage for him, Third Aunt hadn't appeared yet? So, when he helped Third Uncle go to meet Third Aunt, he fell in love with her at first sight? Then Second Uncle impersonated Third Uncle and got Third Aunt to agree to marry him. And Third Uncle couldn't find that peasant girl, was heartbroken, and went to live in another courtyard for a while. When he came back, it was already a done deal?" Bai Shiying summarized Bai Shijun's words.
"Fourth Sister is right, that's roughly how it is. If no one has any questions, I can continue." Bai Shijun nodded, and seeing that no one spoke anymore, he continued, "After Second Master Bai and Third Master Bai got married, Third Master Bai only had one girl in his heart, so it was Second Master Bai who slept in the bridal chamber. Unfortunately, half a year passed, and neither Second Madam nor Third Madam had any pregnancy. Second Master Bai secretly went to see a doctor, who said he had some problems. So, he took Third Master Bai to see a doctor, and it turned out that both brothers had problems and needed to take medicine. Since Third Master Bai couldn't find his sweetheart, he naturally wouldn't try to take medicine every day like Second Master Bai. He always secretly poured it out. He hadn't even slept with anyone. What was the point of treating this illness? Isn't it ridiculous? Third Master Bai, who was always flirting with women outside, hadn't touched a woman for half a year after his marriage."
