When her family first arranged a marriage for Jiang Xuelin, she knew Yao Yufang. He had a good reputation, good education, a good temperament, and a suitable family background. Jiang Xuelin didn't know much about Yao Yufang, who wasn't a spoiled brat, and after meeting him two or three times, she didn't have any objections.
Anyway, getting married is all the same. At the time, she thought that as long as it wasn't someone like Fu Hanlai, it would be fine.
Who knew that after the two got engaged, they discovered that Yao Yufang was so tender-hearted and caring, that he rented a small courtyard to take in a "homeless" orphan girl.
Who knew that after all the twists and turns, she would end up marrying Fu Hanlai?
When the Marquis of Jing'an's household discovered that Yao Yufang was keeping a mistress, they were furious and went directly to his door to break off the engagement, which ruined Yao Yufang's reputation.
Unless one is trying to curry favor with the powerful or doesn't love their daughter at all, who would marry their pampered daughter to a man who already has a mistress before marriage?
Moreover, because of Yao Yufang and Jiang Xuelin's engagement and the fact that Yao Yufang kept a mistress, the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion became enemies. Several years have passed, and the two families still have no contact.
When the incident happened, it became difficult for Yao Yufang to find a spouse, and he could no longer stay in the capital. That's why he was sent back to Jiangnan for a few years, hoping to avoid the limelight.
At that time, Yao Yufang at least kept his mistress in secret, but he was unwilling to stroll around with a woman in public. You can imagine how much this had affected him in the past few years.
It was only because Jiang Xuelin got married that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion called Yao Yufang back; otherwise, he probably would have had to stay in Jiangnan.
After all, the Jing'an Marquis's mansion was truly rude and unreasonable.
Yao Yufang never expected that she would run into Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai as soon as she returned.
His promising future was ruined because he kept a mistress. As a scholar, he kept a mistress at a young age. You can imagine what his reputation is like now. And a scholar's reputation is the most important thing.
Yao Yufang did not feel that everything was the price he paid because he was blinded by lust and kept a mistress. Instead, he pushed all the responsibility onto the Jing'an Marquis's mansion, which had made the matter escalate.
Some people don't look for problems within themselves; they only push all the blame onto others. Yao Yufang is one such person.
When Jiang Xuelin got engaged, she had only met Yao Yufang a few times. What feelings could she possibly have for him? She could only say that her impression of him wasn't bad. But now... well...
Fu Hanlai noticed the curiosity in Jiang Xuelin's eyes out of the corner of his eye, and realized that Jiang Xuelin had no other feelings for Yao Yufang. He was immediately satisfied.
He said, "How could Jiang Xuelin be so blind as to be interested in a hypocritical and despicable person like Yao Yufang?"
If Jiang Xuelin really takes a liking to Yao Yufang, Fu Hanlai feels he will definitely laugh at her, laugh at her mercilessly.
The first person to discover that Yao Yufang was keeping a mistress was actually Fu Hanlai. At the time, he was just curious about Jiang Xuelin's fiancé.
I was just a little curious.
After all, Jiang Xuelin was his mortal enemy. If Yao Yufang married Jiang Xuelin, then Yao Yufang would naturally become his mortal enemy as well. He didn't want to know his enemy and himself.
As a result, he discovered that Yao Yufang was keeping a mistress.
Fu Hanlai still remembers how he felt at the time; he was furious.
Who is Jiang Xuelin?
He was Fu Hanlai's mortal enemy!
Yao Yufang and Jiang Xuelin got engaged but also kept a mistress, which is equivalent to Fu Hanlai having a fiancée who was having an affair with another man.
So Fu Hanlai directly had someone report it to the Jing'an Marquis's mansion, which led to what happened later.
Of course, Fu Hanlai wouldn't go and tell Jiang Xuelin about this achievement and ask her to be grateful to him. Instead, he chose to keep his merits hidden.
This has resulted in the fact that, to this day, apart from the servant who was in charge of the matter, no one else knows the connection between that matter and Fu Hanlai.
Seeing Yao Yufang at this moment, Fu Hanlai was still unhappy with everything about her.
You despicable person!
Pooh!
"Several years have passed, how come we haven't heard that Young Master Yao got married? Or did Young Master Yao get married in Jiangnan?"
Yao Yufang was already holding her breath, and when she heard Fu Hanlai's question, which he already knew the answer to, she gritted her teeth.
"Your Highness, I am not yet married."
No decent families are willing to marry into this family, and those who are willing are not to be accepted by him or the Duke of Zhenguo's family, which is why things have dragged on until now. In addition, there's the matter with the Marquis of Jing'an's family...
"Oh, you're not married yet? Wasn't that woman you were keeping as a mistress your true love? Why didn't you marry her?"
Yao Yufang: "..."
"I thought that you and that woman were so in love that you were only forced to get engaged to Jiang Xuelin because of pressure from your parents. Now that the engagement is over, you can finally marry the woman you love."
Yao Yufang: "..."
Jiang Xuelin was somewhat surprised when she heard Fu Hanlai's sarcastic remarks that made Yao Yufang's face turn pale.
When I left the Prince's mansion just now, I didn't feel that Fu Hanlai was in a bad mood. Even though he was beaten in the martial arts arena this morning, it didn't affect him much. Why does he seem so angry and speak so rudely now?
Could it be that the two have a grudge?
That shouldn't be the case, right? I've never heard of any conflict between Fu Hanlai and Yao Yufang.
That means the illness has relapsed.
Anyway, Fu Hanlai usually likes to cause trouble when he goes out, and he'll cause a little trouble when he's not in the mood, and he'll cause a big one when he feels like it.
Moreover, Jiang Xuelin also sensed that Fu Han's behavior was unusual these past two days; something seemed off about him.
Fu Hanlai had no idea what Jiang Xuelin was thinking, as he was still talking to Yao Yufang.
"It's such a pity that lovers couldn't end up together."
Yao Yufang: "..."
You fucking...
If it weren't for the difference in their status, and if Fu Hanlai's background weren't so powerful, Yao Yufang would have really wanted to punch that guy in the face right now.
It's so annoying.
But he couldn't. He had only just returned to the capital. If anything else happened, he would definitely be sent away again. Knowing this clearly, Yao Yufang took a deep breath and revealed an ugly smile.
No rush.
He will repay every single one of the insults Jiang Xuelin inflicted upon him and the difficulties Fu Hanlai faced today.
A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan; he cannot let a moment of anger ruin important matters.
Telling himself this in his heart, Yao Yufang forced a somewhat awkward smile, "Replying to Your Highness, I have returned to the capital this time for the purpose of getting engaged."
"Whoa!" Upon hearing this, Fu Hanlai immediately leaned back. "What kind of family would knowingly push their daughter into a pit of fire? Are they planning to sell their daughter for personal gain?"
Yao Yufang: "..."
His face turned completely dark.
