Therefore, instead of exhausting yourself to fight for an uncertain future, it's better to cut ties now and find something better!
Zhong Wenming was unaware of the actions taken by the second branch of the family. After confirming the authenticity of the documents with Qi Mingyu, he went to the study after dinner.
No one knows what he said to his grandfather and father in the study.
Not long after, the old master of the Zhong family summoned the second wife and her husband over.
Generally speaking, in such matters, Zhong Yufeng's father would be called over, since it's easier to talk to a father and son or brothers.
Furthermore, it is only right that the father should make the decisions regarding his children's marriages.
Unfortunately, everyone in the Zhong family knew that Wang Yunjuan was the one in charge of the second branch of the family.
As long as she doesn't agree, no matter who is from the second wife's family, or what they agreed to or did, it all counts.
Therefore, when the old master of the Zhong family called for help, he also had to call his second son's wife.
When Wang Yunjuan and her husband entered the study, the old man of the Zhong family was sitting at the head of the room, deep in thought, seemingly pondering something.
When Zhong Wenming's father, Zhong Mingjiang, saw his second younger brother, Zhong Minghe, enter, he waved to him.
"Second brother, come sit here!"
Zhong Minghe glanced at his wife subconsciously, and after she nodded, he walked towards his elder brother.
Wang Yunjuan simply found a place to sit and waited quietly for the old man to speak.
Because of her family's connections, even though she came from a merchant family, no one in the Zhong family dared to look down on her.
Seeing that she neither greeted the elders nor stood tremblingly to the side, the Zhong family had long been used to it.
Grandpa Zhong snapped out of his daze and, seeing that his second son and his wife had arrived, asked Zhong Minghe:
"Second brother, Xiaofeng is already fourteen. She'll be of marriageable age in three months, right?"
Zhong Minghe has only one son and one daughter. His eldest son is sixteen years old this year, and his mother-in-law makes the decision about his marriage, so he and his wife don't need to worry about it.
With no word from his mother-in-law regarding their youngest daughter, he and his wife have to worry about her more.
So when he heard this, he nodded: "Yes, Father, Xiao Feng will be of marriageable age in late March."
The old master of the Zhong family nodded: "It's time to arrange a marriage! I think Scholar Qi, who has been staying at the guest house recently, is quite good."
I intend to marry Xiaofeng to him. What do you two think?
When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Wang Yunjuan, and his gaze was exceptionally firm, leaving no room for argument.
Zhong Minghe was different from his elder brother. Although he came from a landlord family, he preferred tending the land and cared nothing for social interactions.
His wife makes all the decisions at home; he just needs to do what he likes.
Therefore, upon hearing this, he subconsciously looked at his wife again.
After taking a sip of the Da Hong Pao tea brought to her by a servant, Wang Yunjuan replied:
"Father, Xiaofeng is still young, there's no rush to find her a husband. We can wait until she comes of age to find someone."
Although Qi Xiucai had the title of Xiucai, it was also said that he was very likely to pass the provincial examination and become a Juren.
But being good at academics doesn't necessarily mean being a good person.
He's a divorced man, dirt poor. Our Xiaofeng is so wonderful; she could have any man she wanted. Why did she have to choose someone like him?
When Zhong Wenming saw that she refused, he said, "Second Aunt, our family is quite wealthy, so we don't care about the other family's wealth."
You may have some prejudice against Mingyu because he is divorced.
The divorce was not his fault; it was all the fault of the Chi family.
Wang Yunjuan now feels nothing but disgust towards this nephew.
Upon hearing this, he immediately retorted sarcastically, "Oh? You say it's the Chi family's fault? Then tell me, what heinous thing has the Chi family done?"
Zhong Wenming was surprised that his second aunt would speak in this tone, and felt as if she knew something.
