Chapter 59 Our Qin family will not marry a daughter-in-law like your Chen family!
“Yonghua is a good child, but he has become a merchant. I can’t let my daughter marry a merchant,” said Lady Zhong’an, who was standing nearby.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yezhong and Yang Xiurong's expressions turned even uglier.
They hadn't expected the other party to be so blunt.
Qin Yonghua, behind the screen, also looked very unhappy.
He knew that businessmen would be looked down upon. Businessmen would never be as respected as government officials.
He was prepared for this when he decided to take this path.
However, to be belittled by his fiancée's parents and have to break off the engagement is extremely humiliating for a man.
[Looking down on the third brother because of his merchant status is just one reason. The second, fourth, and sixth brothers are all unmarried; why don't they marry one of the other brothers?]
[Fifth Brother has already become the top scholar in the imperial examination, and his marriage proposal to Sister Liu Ying just happened yesterday. They don't even know about it yet. Why don't they marry their daughters to Fifth Brother? To put it bluntly, it's not just that they look down on Third Brother's status as a merchant, but also on the Marquis's mansion.]
Qin Yezhong and Yang Xiurong, who were inside the room, heard this and thought it made sense.
Yes, if they disliked Yonghua for being a merchant, they could have married their daughter to another son instead, without offending the Marquis of Dingbei's family. Why did they break off the engagement?
It seems that, just as her daughter said, she no longer regards the Dingbei Marquis's residence.
Qin Ye was somewhat angry.
You are a marquis, and so am I.
Why are you categorizing people by status and wealth? Why do you look down on me?
Moreover, my son Yonghua once saved your daughter's life. Is it appropriate to just break off the engagement like this?
[Actually, she's climbed the social ladder by getting involved with the eldest son of the Grand Secretary. She's been having an affair with him for a while now.]
Yang Xiurong trembled upon hearing this.
What? Chen Ling Shuang is actually exchanging glances with the eldest son of the Grand Councilor?
She's engaged to my son, yet she still tries to seduce someone else; she's utterly shameless!
Behind the screen, Qin Yonghua's lips trembled slightly with anger. Where did this leave him?
Qin Rufeng and Qin Xiaoyan, who were behind the screen, were also very angry.
The brothers have always been harmonious. To slap the third brother in the face is to slap them in the face, isn't it? This is outrageous!
Marquis Zhong'an seemed oblivious to the anger on the faces of Qin Yezhong and his wife, continuing to leisurely sip his tea.
The eldest son of the Grand Chamberlain is far superior to someone from your humble Dingbei Marquis's household.
People strive for better things; who would pass up a good woman to marry your merchant son?
"I'm afraid Brother Chen doesn't look down on merchants, but rather on my Dingbei Marquis's mansion," Qin Yezhong said unhappily.
Marquis Zhong'an smiled dismissively: "It's only natural for people to strive for higher positions."
Qin Yezhong and Yang Xiurong could hardly believe their ears.
It's like you just said, "You don't look down on my Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, do you?" and the other person immediately replied, "Yes, I do look down on it. Your Dingbei Marquis's Mansion is trash."
Are they not even willing to maintain a semblance of harmony?
"Don't forget that my Yonghua saved your daughter's life! Now you're trying to break off the engagement? Aren't you afraid people will say you're ungrateful?" Yang Xiurong said angrily.
“My daughter is incredibly lucky. Even if your son hadn’t saved her that day, she would have been saved! It’s such a small favor, you shouldn’t still be bringing it up after all this time!” said Lady Zhong’an.
Anyway, our positions will be different in the future, and sooner or later there will be a day when we're at each other's throats, so there's no need to pretend now.
Yang Xiurong was so angry that she trembled.
Such a small achievement?
That day, Yonghua rushed into the fire to save Chen Ling Shuang, and his body was burned, but fortunately only his clothes were burned.
However, Yonghua's throat was damaged by the smoke, and he coughed all day long, taking a full year to recover!
Now, instead of being grateful, they make sarcastic remarks.
[I'm so angry! Those ungrateful wretches! The Marquis of Zhong'an's mansion has gone too far!] Qin Wanying pursed her lips in anger upon hearing this, her chest heaving violently.
Qin Yonghua's fingernails dug deeply into his flesh. However, he was always calm and wouldn't lose his composure.
The reaction of the Marquis of Zhong'an's residence today is very unusual.
In fact, there are two factions in the imperial court, which is obvious to anyone with eyes to see.
Although Qin Yonghua did not participate in politics, he was still knowledgeable about court affairs.
The two forces are Xiao Dongqian's side and the Crown Prince's side.
These two forces have always been at odds.
The Qin family has always been on the Crown Prince's side.
Now that they have directly broken ties with their parents, does it mean that the other party has already sided with Xiao Dongqian?
However, since they want to break off the engagement, so be it. If he really marries Chen Ling Shuang, he'll just be cheating on Third Brother in the future.
In the book, the engagement was not called off, and the third brother still married Chen Ling Shuang.
After marrying him, he immediately cuckolded his third brother.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
This Chen Ling Shuang is indeed unfaithful; she actually cheated on Yong Hua!
Not only that, it would also lead to my third brother's imprisonment. The Marquis of Zhong'an's family later sided with Xiao Dongqian. To distance herself from the Crown Prince's faction, Chen Ling Shuang personally reported them, resulting in my third brother's wrongful imprisonment.
At this point in the book, the Marquis of Zhong'an's mansion had not yet submitted to Xiao Dongqian.
There is no scene of annulment in the book.
However, perhaps because of his arrival, the storyline has changed. Judging from the reaction of the Marquis of Zhong'an and his wife, they have now sided with the War King Xiao Dongqian.
Qin Yezhong and Yang Xiurong fell silent; the air was very quiet.
What? This wicked woman, this despicable Marquis Zhong'an's mansion, actually framed their son and sent him to prison!
Therefore, it seems that this marriage proposal must be called off no matter what.
Marquis Zhong'an had already made up his mind; he had already pledged allegiance to the War King.
If my daughter marries Qin Yonghua, it will really cause a lot of trouble in the future.
If they wanted to sever ties with the Qin family, their daughter would have to personally step forward and accuse Qin Yonghua of a crime, which would be far too troublesome.
Fortunately, his daughter was ambitious and got to know the eldest son of the Grand Chamberlain.
The Grand Chamberlain has remained neutral. If we can win him over through marriage, and then bring him to the War King's camp, wouldn't our future be limitless once the War King ascends the throne?
[This Chen Ling Shuang is no innocent girl. Even after marrying the son of the Grand Councilor, she still has affairs. The Grand Councilor has a bad temper; how could he possibly let her get away with it?]
Hearing this, Qin Yezhong and Yang Xiurong's expressions softened somewhat.
The Grand Chamberlain is indeed short-tempered. If his son marries Chen Ling Shuang, and Chen Ling Shuang is not virtuous, he will probably divorce her and break up with the Marquis of Zhong'an.
Thinking of this, Qin Yezhong was no longer angry.
He was actually looking forward to the engagement being called off as soon as possible, with Chen Ling Shuang marrying the son of the Grand Chamberlain, to see what kind of fate awaited the Marquis of Zhong'an.
Qin Yezhong stood up.
"Lord Zhong'an, my son Qin Yonghua, though he abandoned politics for business, is upright and kind, and has a clear conscience before heaven and earth. On the contrary, your Zhong'an Marquis's mansion is ungrateful and opportunistic."
"Our Qin family disdains associating with such despicable people as you, and we would never marry a daughter-in-law from your Chen family!"
The four people behind the screen found it very satisfying to hear their father's domineering retort.
Qin Yonghua was deeply moved that her father stood up for her.
[My father is so handsome! The engagement should have been called off! My third brother will be incredibly wealthy in the future; the Chen family will regret it!]
