"I told you this earlier, but would you listen? You have high aspirations, what can you listen to?" Meng Yuan scolded.
Meng Yuanxue fell silent. If she hadn't done all these things, how could she be willing to give up the Chu family and choose Lan Yanfeng as her second choice, and be inferior to Lan Ziye?
After a long silence, Meng Yuanxue slowly said, "Father, now that things have come to this, I just want a divorce!"
"Divorce?" Meng Yuan sneered. "What do you want to do after the divorce? Become the eldest daughter of the Meng family forever? Do you think that when your eldest brother inherits the position of head of the family one day, you will be able to live under your eldest sister-in-law's care, and your life will be more comfortable than being the mistress of the Ou family?"
"I can remarry after getting divorced! The fourth lady of the Jin family can remarry and marry into my Meng family. Why can't I marry into one of the five major families?" Meng Yuanxue said unconvinced.
"The fourth young lady of the Jin family is the legitimate daughter of the Jin family. She married into our Meng family when the Jin family was at its peak. Our Meng family is considered to be marrying up. Moreover, she has a daughter who is inextricably linked to the Chu family. Our Meng family married her as a marriage based on a balance of interests! What about you? What do you have?" Meng Yuan sighed and said, "What you did was really foolish. If only Chu Xixuan and Ou Jingyao were present, it would be fine, but the key is that Lan Yanfeng was also there..."
"Lan Yanfeng is such an upright person, and the Lan family doesn't care about marriage alliances. Do you think anyone in the Lan family will marry you after knowing about this?" Meng Yuan asked. "Besides the Lan family, which family do you want to marry into? The Zhu family or the Jin family? Even if you want to marry, are you sure they will accept a divorced woman with a bad reputation? You are the second generation of the Meng family, and the daughters of the third generation of the Meng family have all grown up. Not only the Meng family, but also the Zhu family, the Jin family, and the Lan family have many daughters of marriageable age. Even the Chu family has a Chu Yu. Yuanxue, it is undeniable that you missed the best age for marriage. This time, if you missed Ou Jingyao, you really won't be able to find a suitable one!"
Meng Yuanxue's eyes instantly misted over as she spoke, "But I won't accept this! I've worked so hard and excelled so well, am I really going to be excluded from the five major families? There are so many women in the family who are not as good as me, and whose status is not as noble as mine, but they've married better than me. Do I have to act according to their wishes and beg them to give my husband a meal? I don't want that!"
"Ah!" Meng Yuan sighed and said, "Fate is predetermined by heaven. Besides, apart from not being from one of the five major families, Ou Jingyao is pretty good in every way. At least he's rich! Besides, that kid has everyone on his side. The Ou family is a marginal family second only to the five major families, and he has a good relationship with Chu Xixuan. If you follow him, it won't be as bad as you think!"
"Listen to your father, go back and live a good life, and secure your position as the wife of the head of the Ou family!" Meng Yuan said seriously, "As for that person outside, I will help you investigate the relationship between that woman and Ou Jingyao. Don't believe everything you hear, wait until I have thoroughly investigated everything before we speak!"
"Father, is there no other choice?" Meng Yuanxue still said unwillingly.
"I've said everything I need to say. Think about it carefully!" Meng Yuan said, "In fact, there are only a few wives of the heads of the five major families. You can't be the wife of a head of a family. You can be the wife of those powerless children. It's better to be the wife of the head of the Ou family. What do you think?"
