He Tang sneered, âPerhaps father married you because you were virtuous and capable, able to bear children and serve your in-laws! But if I were to marry a wife, it would be to love her, take care of her, and make her happy and content for the rest of her life. Not for anything else.â
Mother He was startled and subconsciously looked at Father He.
Upon further thought, these words were quite piercing.
No matter how righteous their words sounded, which woman would be willing to be just a tool for bearing children and managing household chores?
Father He felt a bit flustered when his wife looked at him like this. Angrily and somewhat embarrassed, he coughed heavily, âWomen helping their husbands and teaching their children is only natural! Besides, these duties are not contradictory to happiness and contentment! He Tang, have you become foolish from reading too much? Donât use these twisted arguments to resist your responsibility to marry and have children!â
He Tang slowly said, âYou didnât let me marry Jiang Ning and deliberately kept me in the dark when she left, denying me lifelong happiness. In that case, I wonât just marry any woman I donât like to please you! After all, if you donât care about my happiness, why should I care about your feelings?â
He pushed back his chair and strode out.
âHe Tang, stop right there!â Father He shouted angrily.
He Tang didnât look back.
Mother Heâs tears streamed down her face, âWhat has gotten into this child? What is so good about marrying a cripple? How could he be so infatuated with that disabled woman, as if heâs lost his mind?â
Walking towards the doorway, He Tang heard her words, turned around, and said, âI forgot to tell you, Jiang Ningâs leg has healed. Sheâs now just like any normal person!â
Mother He was astonished, âHow is that possible? Didnât she break her leg when she was young?â
He Tang said, âThe Prime Ministerâs Mansion found a good doctor to treat her. Now sheâs married to the Prince of Yu and become the Princess Consort, having given birth to boy and girl twins. The twins, Yuxue, are lovely and adorable.â
âShe could actually give birth to boy and girl twins.â Mother He was surprised, a hint of bitterness welled up in her heart.
âYes, you used to look down on Ah Ning, but she turned out to be not only beautiful but also a noble lady from the Prime Ministerâs Mansion, and she could bear children. Our family canât possibly be a match for someone like that.â
He Tangâs words pierced Mother Heâs heart.
The reason she didnât allow her son to marry Jiang Ning was mainly due to Jiang Ningâs inferior background and lack of family wealth, and only then because of her impaired leg.
But now, not only was she from a prestigious family, her leg was also cured, and most importantly, she was able to give birth to boy and girl twins.
Boy and girl twins.
How many families could have boy and girl twins?
Mother He, who had been longing for grandchildren, felt extremely jealous.
He Tang looked at her expression and added, âIf you had let me marry Ah Ning back then, perhaps you would also have had boy and girl twin grandchildren now.â
Mother He:ââ¦â
He Tang said, âIn any case, my mood wonât improve anytime soon. Father, Mother, please donât introduce me to anyone during this time. The more you force me, the less willing I am.â
With that said, he turned around and left.
Mother He stood there blankly for a moment before sighing, âWhat kind of karma is this! If I had known about that girlâs background, how could I have disagreed to the marriage? But I am not a god, how could I have known?â
Father He indifferently said, âIn the end, it was your disdain for the poor and love for the rich that caused our son to miss out on this good marriage.â
Mother He retorted stubbornly, âMarrying a noble lady from the Prime Ministerâs Mansion doesnât guarantee a good outcome.. Our son might have had to bow and scrape to her, which wouldnât be worth it!â
