Chapter 95 The Marquis's Commoner Wife 5
Thinking about her next plan, the old lady stopped causing trouble, took the teacup and took a sip. Originally, she didn't want to drink any, but she was so thirsty that she drank it.
Ning Yan was pleased to see the old lady drink the tea. Han Yongjin was already helping her up, saying, "Alright, the tea is served. Don't kneel anymore, or you'll hurt your knees."
Old lady: ……
"Mother, if there's nothing else, we'll head back."
The old lady said, "Wait a minute. Have you forgotten what you promised me? I have already fulfilled your wish. I will marry Yingying into the family in half a month."
Upon hearing this, Ning Yan pulled her hand away from Han Yongjin's grasp, her face filled with disbelief: "What? You, you're going to marry another woman?"
My husband, if you have someone else in your heart, why do you still provoke me?
I never intended to marry into a wealthy family. When you came to my house to propose, I thought you had feelings for me...
So, you were lying to me all along!
She swayed as she spoke, and looked like she was about to fall to the ground. Han Yongjin anxiously tried to help her up, "Madam, please let me explain..."
Ning Yan shook her head frantically: "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen... I never want to see you again!"
After saying that, she lifted her skirt and ran outside.
The two head maids who had just been assigned to her side: ...The mistress and the marquis are having a fight, should they chase after them or not?
Sigh, it's tough being a servant.
With that thought in mind, they had already chased after him. After all, the Marquis had already run after his wife, and they couldn't be too slow, or they would be punished!
Ning Yan ran all the way back to the main courtyard, then slammed the door shut, refusing to open it no matter how hard Han Yongjin knocked.
"Go away! Go away! I never want to see you again!"
I know that with your abilities, Lord Marquis, opening this door would be easy. I guarantee that as soon as you come in, I will die immediately!
After saying that, he flopped onto the bed and went to sleep.
Han Yongjin, who was outside the door, had originally intended to kick the door open, but after being threatened by Ning Yan, he immediately lowered his foot. He only dared to call out from outside the door, "Madam, Yan Yan, please open the door and let me explain..."
Some things are not suitable for servants to hear. He has agreed to marry Chu Yingying, but he will not touch her.
As for leaving her alone in her empty room, he felt no guilt whatsoever, because that was her own choice.
Moreover, given his family background, even if he rejected Chu Yingying, there would be others. Why not create a target and ask if he wants to become the Marquis's concubine?
The kind where you live like a widow!
Even if there is great profit to be made, few women would be willing to spend their lives without being liked by their husbands.
Furthermore, it is perfectly normal for a man to marry a wife and take concubines; on the contrary, it is abnormal for someone like him to only want to stay with his legal wife.
He could understand that his wife would not accept him taking a concubine since they were newly married, but he could not accept that his wife would not allow him to take a concubine!
He shouted outside for a long time, but there was no sound from inside.
In the end, he could only turn his back and go to the study in the front yard.
Seeing Ning Yan treat her master like this, the head maid Qiu Sheng was filled with anxiety. "Madam, that is, after all, the Marquis. You, you have to give the Marquis a way out. Continuing to be at this stalemate will be very disadvantageous for you!"
If the Marquis really gets angry and never comes to the Lady's courtyard again, wouldn't the Lady lose favor so soon after getting married?
Once Miss Biao enters the household, will there still be a place for a lady in this Marquis's mansion?
Ning Yan lay comfortably on the bed, being fed, having her face washed, and even receiving a massage from a maid. All she had to do was pretend to be innocent and pure, putting on a show. "I know you're right, but I just can't accept it. So please, don't try to persuade me anymore. Let me calm down. Maybe after a few days I'll be able to accept that my husband is going to marry someone else."
Qiu Sheng and Dong Xiao exchanged a glance, both feeling sorry for the lady. They had never seen a family where the wife had arranged for her husband to take a concubine after only one day of marriage.
Yes, a secondary wife. The old lady wanted her son to marry his niece as a secondary wife.
The Chu family was, after all, a prestigious family, though it had declined. However, the Chu family uncle was now a third-rank censor, which was not as high as the Marquis's family, but far higher than the small Ning family.
A wife of high birth could easily remove Ning Yan from power and take control of the household.
The fate of a wife who is disliked by her mother-in-law and has lost her power to manage the household is predictable.
In the morning, Qiu Sheng went to fetch food for Ning Yan, but was stopped by Lie Feng and taken to the study in the front yard, where she met the Marquis.
"How is the lady?"
Qiu Sheng already felt sorry for his wife, so naturally his words were biased towards Ning Yan. After repeating what Ning Yan had said, he even felt a little sorry for Ning Yan.
"My lord, please don't blame the lady. The lady's environment since childhood is different from yours. Her family only married one wife. She probably never thought that her husband would marry someone else. Moreover, she heard such news on the very first day of her marriage. No one could accept it."
When Han Yongjin learned that Ning Yan was adjusting her mood on her own, he felt even more sorry for her. "Go back and take good care of Madam. Try to persuade her not to get stuck in a rut. You'll get your share of the benefits in the future."
Qiu Sheng agreed, and then tactfully withdrew.
After having breakfast, Ning Yan packed some gifts and went home by herself.
Han Yongjin had been waiting for news from the main courtyard. He even followed Ning Yan out, but he was stopped by someone sent by the old lady. People from the Chu family had come and asked him to entertain them.
Ning Yan wouldn't wait for him and immediately told the driver to leave.
Then Han Yongjin turned his head, and his beloved wife was gone...
Han Yongjin: ...His biological father seems to be quite different from what I imagined.
Fortunately, he wasn't stupid. He ignored his uncle who was coming to visit and led his horse to chase after Ning Yan back to Ning Family Village.
Ning Yan was still angry and wouldn't speak to him at all. After returning to her parents' home, she watched the driver carry all the gifts into the house and then went to chat with her sisters-in-law, completely ignoring Han Yongjin.
Han Yongjin went to great lengths to please his wife, giving Ning's father a property deed. "Father-in-law, this is a shop in the capital. The front is the storefront, and the back is connected to a courtyard. It's enough for your family to live in."
I've heard my mother-in-law is quite skilled at making pastries; you could totally open a pastry shop.
Mr. Ning was an honest man. He never expected that his son-in-law, a marquis, would present such a generous gift right away. He quickly declined, saying, "No, no, no, I can't accept this. It's too precious."
How could the Marquis possibly take back what he has given away?
He was also hoping to bring his father-in-law's family to the capital to please his wife.
“Father-in-law, today is our homecoming. Yan’er’s journey by carriage took nearly two hours. But if your family were to move to the capital, she would be able to see you in half an hour at most.”
Moreover, since they live close by, she can go back to her parents' home anytime she wants to visit you.
If you refuse to accept it, is it because you don't want to see Yan'er?
Do you also believe that a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl?
