"Who do you think you are to tell my children what to do? Who do you think you are?" Yang Cui was furious. "Throw these three idiots out! Don't let them set foot in the General's Mansion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Ming and the others immediately dragged the person out.
Jin Xiuzhi struggled repeatedly: "Let me go! Let me go! Lady, we came with sincerity. The general, no matter how good he was, is gone now. How can you, a woman, manage without a man to protect you? Lady..."
Zhang Junlan struggled and shouted, "Lord Xiang, I'm serious, I truly admire you..."
"Gag them!"
"Mmm..."
The three people were gagged and thrown out the door, where they landed hard on the ground, their buttocks almost splitting in half.
"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Bah! Get lost!" Ma Ming said, then kicked Zhang Junlan, making him howl in pain.
"Weakling!"
Zhang Junlan was both ashamed and angry, her face turning completely red.
With a "snap," the gate to the general's mansion slammed shut again.
Jin Xiuzhi then helped Zhang Junlan up: "Son, are you alright?"
"Mother, I'm fine."
"This Yang is really putting on airs. If she gets married again, it will be her third marriage. Does she still think she's a hot commodity?" Before coming here, Jin Xiuzhi never expected that Yang Cui would refuse.
In this era, second marriages are rare, and women who have been married three times are usually looked down upon. Unless a man from a remote mountain village who can't find a wife would want her, most men who are slightly normal or have better conditions wouldn't marry her. But Yang Cui actually refused!
"She really thinks she's got gold trim." Jin Xiulan's words became increasingly vulgar and offensive, showing no regard for the fact that she had a son beside her.
“Sister, this Lady De’an is very capable. Since she doesn’t agree, just let it go. Junlan is such a good catch, he won’t have trouble finding a wife,” said the matchmaker Jin Ling.
Jin Ling is both an official media representative and Jin Xiuzhi's cousin; otherwise, she wouldn't have made this trip right after Cen Xiao's burial.
"No, I've made up my mind about her." Zhang Junlan was very determined.
She had only heard that Yang Cui was beautiful, but she didn't know that Yang Cui was this beautiful. Others may have such beauty, but they may not have her wealth, let alone her abilities.
Who knows if Yang Cui's education foundation and Hope Academy will not cultivate some talented people in the future? And these people will all become Yang Cui's connections. Yang Cui has a good reputation in Shilin now. Marrying her is equivalent to having money, fame, and access to resources. Even a fool would know which one to choose.
Jin Xiuzhi didn't like Yang Cui very much, but she never went against her son's wishes. She said, "Then let it be as you say. But she needs to change her temperament. She's too shrewish. After she enters the family, we need to set good rules, especially for the children."
Yuan Qiu actually dared to hit her precious son! Does he think he's some great general's nephew? Once Yang Cui enters the Zhang family, the first thing she'll do is teach Yuan Qiu a lesson!
“Girl, you’re overthinking it. The village head hasn’t agreed yet,” Jinling reminded her. “General Cen doted on her when he was alive, otherwise he wouldn’t have been willing to marry into the family and would have rejected even the Duke’s daughter. Now that General Cen has just died, he probably won’t be able to recover his feelings for a while. I think it’s better to visit him in a few months.”
Although there is no tradition of wives observing mourning for their husbands, it is also not common for wives to rush to find another husband immediately after their husbands die. Some wives, who are deeply in love, commit suicide together, remain unmarried for life, or become nuns.
"I know what I'm doing." Zhang Junlan was determined to have Yang Cui. He believed that even the most virtuous woman would be won over by a persistent suitor, and he refused to believe that his knowledge and appearance couldn't sway a woman who had been married three times!
