Chapter 1141 The Eldest Daughter Who Was Rejected in the Engagement 37
After dealing with Yan, Old Madam Jiang naturally wouldn't let Jiang Chunyun, the instigator, off the hook.
Therefore, Jiang Chunyun was placed in solitary confinement, and her freedom was restricted. Not only could she not go out, but she couldn't even write a letter to An Chongli.
This resulted in An Chongli and Jiang Chunyun being unable to meet, making it impossible for An Chongli to persuade Jiang Chunyun to voluntarily annul the engagement.
Yes, after struggling with this for a while, An Chongli decided that his future prospects would prevail, and he planned to marry a wife who could help him in the future. Therefore, he had no choice but to give up his relationship with Jiang Chunyun.
But now he can't even see Jiang Chunyun anymore. Even if he goes to the Jiang family, Old Madam Jiang won't allow him to meet with Jiang Chunyun. The reason is simple: although the two have already been engaged, it's not good for them to meet before the wedding. She's afraid it will affect her eldest granddaughter's reputation, since her elder sister Jiang Chunxi has been betrothed to Prince Fu.
Yes, Jiang Chunxi participated in the talent show and was betrothed to Prince Fu as she wished. She didn't even have to do anything before Prince Fu took a liking to her at first sight.
To be honest, Jiang Chunxi was starting to wonder if she had stumbled upon a love triangle.
Of course! Even if that's the case, Jiang Chunxi doesn't care. After all, she's not trying to fall in love with Prince Fu. On the contrary, if Prince Fu really treats her as some kind of substitute for his white moonlight, it will actually be beneficial to her.
So what is there for Jiang Chunxi to mind? On the contrary, she would love to be a substitute for the Prince of Fu's white moonlight.
And Jiang Chunxi was right; her eyes resembled those of the deceased wife of the Prince of Fu. In addition, the Jiang family's social standing in the capital was only average, which is why they chose her at first glance.
Of course! Prince Fu's deceased wife was not some unattainable ideal woman in his heart, but he did indeed deeply respect and love his first wife.
"Ah! How come that bitch Jiang Chunxi has such a good life?" On this day, the Prince of Fu's mansion came to the Jiang family to present betrothal gifts. Jiang Chunyun heard the lively noise coming from the front yard and couldn't help but smash things in her room. "That idiot Yan Shi, she couldn't even handle such a small matter as drugging that bitch Jiang Chunxi properly, and she even dragged me into being confined to my room."
"Father, how cruel you are!" Jiang Chunyun broke down in tears. "Have you forgotten how you used to dote on me the most? Is it because you have a new lover now and don't like my aunt as much anymore that you don't even love me, your own daughter?"
"Waaah! Why is my life so bitter? A child with a mother is a treasure, a child without a mother is just a weed."
"Aunt, I regret it. If I had known it would turn out this way, I shouldn't have..."
Jiang Chunyun didn't continue speaking, and she was now truly regretting it. Through being confined, she deeply realized that her father no longer doted on her as he used to, and didn't care about her at all. Otherwise, why would he have allowed his grandmother to confine her?
If she hadn't deliberately let her younger brother get lost, her aunt would still be her father's most beloved woman. Her father wouldn't have allowed that wretched woman, Song, to have the opportunity to steal his heart while she was grieving the loss of her son and going mad. Not only did her aunt fall out of favor, but she, as his daughter, also lost her special place in his eyes.
Jiang Chunyun was filled with regret! She was so regretful she could have kicked herself.
“Master, Miss is really lucky,” Song Miaorou said enviously as she massaged Jiang’s father. “The betrothal gifts brought by the Prince of Fu’s mansion have almost filled the front courtyard.”
"This shows that Prince Fu is very satisfied with the eldest daughter. And if he is satisfied with the eldest daughter, how could he not help you, his father-in-law? I would like to congratulate you on your promotion. With Prince Fu as your son-in-law, it would be difficult for you not to rise in your career."
"Yes! You're right," Father Jiang said with a smug look on his face. "I really didn't expect that Chunxi would be so promising, actually managing to be betrothed to Prince Fu, but..."
Mr. Jiang's expression turned worried: "But that child dislikes me very much, she practically treats me like an enemy. If she marries Prince Fu and whispers anything unfavorable in his ear, my career will be ruined, let alone a meteoric rise..."
“Master, you’re overthinking it,” Aunt Song interrupted Mr. Jiang. “Once a woman gets married, she still needs her family to support her. Besides, they share the same fate. If the eldest daughter harms you, what good will it do her?”
"And don't forget, aren't the eldest young master and the old lady still here? Even for the sake of the eldest young master and the old lady, Miss, you must get Prince Fu to promote you. After all, only when the master's career goes better and better can the old lady and the eldest young master go better and better."
"So don't worry unnecessarily. There's no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight between a father and daughter. Even if there were, as long as there's blood ties, the children would never actually harm their own father."
“Yes! You’re right,” Mr. Jiang’s brows relaxed. “However, even so, I, as his father, have to make some compensation, after all, Chunxi has indeed suffered injustice over the years.”
"I plan to increase Chunxi's dowry even further, making sure she marries into the Prince of Fu's mansion in a grand and magnificent procession. However, if that's the case, then Chunyun's dowry will be..."
“Master,” Song Miaorou’s voice rose in anger, “Don’t forget how the Second Miss’s fiancé viciously killed your precious child. Under such circumstances, what kind of behavior is it if you let the Second Miss marry into the An family with a generous dowry?”
"So, someone killed your son, and you not only have to lose a daughter, but you also have to give your enemy a generous dowry. There's no way you can be such a sucker. If you ask me, this second young lady is out of her mind, just like that idiot Yan Shi. She only has eyes for men and nothing else."
"Otherwise, who in their right mind would marry the enemy who killed their own brother? If you ask me, you should just stop worrying about the second young lady's life or death. Since she insists on marrying into the An family, just send her off with a simple dowry. Why bother preparing a dowry for her?"
Father Jiang's face darkened: "That child Chunyun has indeed disappointed me too much. Since she insists on marrying into the An family, then there is no need to carefully prepare her dowry. Otherwise, my Jiang family will really become a sucker."
“That’s right,” Song Miaorou laughed, her hands massaging Jiang’s father with even more effort. “Master, I want to go to the estate. Although some time has passed, I still can’t let go of the hatred in my heart. I can’t get rid of this hatred in my chest unless I go to the estate and personally give that bitch Tong a good beating.”
