Chapter 98 - 98: 98: A Daughter Should Be a Chaste and Virtuous Woman
Jiang Ning firmly declined.
Jiang Ruobai said, “Daughter, if you refuse this marriage proposal, it will be difficult to find a better one in the future.”
“I won’t look for one. Dad, do you dislike your daughter so much that you’re anxious to marry me off?”
“Oh, how could Dad dislike you? I love you so much. That’s why I’m trying to find you the best man. If the Prince of Yu is not suitable, then let’s switch to Wenren Zong.”
“No! No!”
“Why not? You have to give a reason. If you can convince Dad, I will refuse this marriage.”
“Because, because…”
“Is it because you still have feelings for the Prince of Yu?”
“Ah?” Jiang Ning was startled, then quickly nodded, “That’s right, that’s the reason!”
Jiang Yi asked, “Seventh Sister, have you fallen for the Prince of Yu?”
“Yes… I guess.”
“Sigh.” Jiang Ruobai sighed, “What do you see in him?”
Jiang Ning:”???”
Weren’t you the one who was eager to become his father-in-law?
Now that my daughter’s married off, you’re still saying this. Do you want her to be married to one man but have her heart set on another?
Perhaps realizing that his words were indeed somewhat inappropriate, Jiang Ruobai coughed lightly, “What I meant was, it’s hard to know the true character of the Prince of Yu. I thought he was a good man, but he turned out to be a deceitful one. My dear daughter, it’s not too late for you to escape.”
“I can’t escape, I just like him!” Jiang Ning spoke righteously.
“He has divorced you…”
“Even if he divorced me, I still like him! There’s only him in my heart, and I can’t marry another man!”
“Isn’t that a bit extreme?”
“A woman can’t marry twice. I swear to be a chaste heroine! I’ll win a chaste archway for our Jiang Family!”
Jiang Ruobai exchanged glances with his son.
His daughter really lacked insight.
What to do?
The Prince of Yu didn’t want her anymore, yet she still had her heart set on him, wanting to be what…a chaste heroine?
What nonsense.
The Jiang Family doesn’t need a chaste archway.
Can it be eaten or drunk?
Why not choose a young, handsome, and promising man?
Such a stubborn girl.
Jiang Ruobai wished he could shake Jiang Ning’s head awake, but he couldn’t bear to.
“Daughter, think it over.”
“My stomach is not well…”
“Alright, alright, if you don’t want it, you don’t want it.” Jiang Ruobai quickly stood up, “I’ll go reply to them now.”
At this moment, Jiang Yuan suddenly walked out from the door and said hesitantly, “Dad.”
“Oh, Fifth Sister, what is it?”
“Dad, I’m older than Seventh Sister.” Jiang Yuan said shyly, “Since Seventh Sister doesn’t want this marriage proposal, then…”
Jiang Ruobai was no fool, he could easily understand his fifth daughter’s intentions.
He thought about it. Since Jiang Ning didn’t want it, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to arrange this marriage for his fifth daughter.
After all, daughters grow up and need to get married.
“Alright, you go with me and meet Lady Yuan first.”
“Thank you, Dad!”
Jiang Yuan was overjoyed and quickly straightened her skirt, following Jiang Ruobai out.
Seeing Jiang Ruobai walk away quickly, Jiang Ning let out a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yi sighed, “Look, as soon as you refused, someone else took the offer. Wenren Zong is actually a really good choice.”
“Then we should congratulate Fifth Sister on her upcoming good marriage.”
“And you…”
“Third Brother, it’s so hot today. I’ll make grass jelly and taro balls for you to eat, is that okay?” Jiang Ning quickly changed the subject.
“What jelly?”
“My cooking is okay. Come on, give it a try.”
“Alright, I can’t do anything about you.”
The siblings headed towards the kitchen.
Thinking of the free and easy days ahead, as well as the comfort of being in the middle of her pregnancy, Jiang Ning was in high spirits and itching to make some dessert..
