Chapter 729: Chapter 728: Seven Hundred and Twenty-Eight: Granting Marriage

“The families with high social status have many rules.” Lin Zizi said, “In the beginning, I said that it was not necessary to choose such a family. A small family may not sound as prestigious, but only we ourselves know whether their lives are at ease.”

Aunt Liu sighed, not knowing what to say.

A married daughter is really like spilled water, and as her aunt, she couldn’t lend a helping hand. Besides, she was a concubine and didn’t have the right to do so.

If her daughter suffered any grievances in her husband’s family, she could only ask her legal mother to intervene.

Aunt Liu realized now that no matter how much she was doted on or how domineering she was, she was just a concubine. Outside, she was no better than a lowly servant.

Her daughter’s in-laws would definitely not take her into consideration.

They would only acknowledge Madam Jiang as their mother-in-law.

She had to serve her mistress well and maintain a good relationship with her, so that she could ask for her help when her daughter needed it.

Now, Aunt Liu had become much more submissive and gentle.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even her relationship with Aunt Bai, who had always been weak and quiet and whom she had never bothered with, had improved a lot.

Jiang Yan laughed and said, “In the past, I thought that after Seventh Sister entered the Imperial Palace, I might not be able to see her again. Who would have thought that there are even more rules here than in the Count’s residence?”

“You’re talking nonsense, girl!” Aunt Bai glared at her, “Of course the Imperial Palace has the most rules. But it’s because the Emperor and the Crown Prince love the Princess Consort that they allow her to visit her family often. How can you compare the two?”

Jiang Yan blushed.

These words struck a chord in Aunt Liu’s heart, and she sighed quietly.

Yes, no matter how many rules there are, how could they be more important than the people?

The Princess Consort was loved, so even in the Imperial Palace, she could come out and stroll around from time to time. The Count’s residence didn’t even care about the rules of visiting her family on the second day of the month, so how could they expect them to treat her daughter well in their daily lives?

Lin Zizi said, “Aunt Liu, you don’t need to worry too much. We all know our Fifth Sister’s personality, and she’s not the kind of person who would compromise. If she has any grievances, just let her speak up. Although Fifth Sister is from a lowly background, she doesn’t have to feel inferior in the Count’s residence. The family will always stand up for her.”

“Thank you, Madam.” Aunt Liu’s eyes reddened, and she lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

Aunt Bai hurriedly comforted her, “Sister, don’t be like this. It’s the festive season, and the Princess Consort is here. Let’s all be happy. When Fifth Sister comes back and sees you like this, won’t she feel upset?”

Aunt Liu quickly wiped her tears and turned around to touch up her makeup.

Jiang Ning laughed, “I brought back some news. However, whether it’s good or bad depends on Sixth Sister.”

Jiang Yan wondered, “What news?”

“The Emperor is going to grant you a marriage.”

“Grant… a marriage?” Jiang Yan was shocked and unconsciously stood up.

Aunt Bai was also astonished, “Why would he suddenly grant you a marriage? Besides, with your status, how can you be worthy of an imperial marriage?”

Lin Zizi disagreed, “Sixth Sister is the daughter of the Jiang Family, how can she not be worthy?”

Aunt Bai quickly explained, “It’s not that I look down on my own daughter, but just stating the facts. After all, Sixth Sister is a concubine-born.”

Aunt Liu was also puzzled, “Being a concubine-born is not a problem. The issue is that in a few days, Sixth Sister will be entering the Palace for selection. Why grant a marriage at this time? Seventh Miss, who is the Emperor marrying Sixth Sister to?”

Everyone looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning laughed, “The grant of marriage is true. As for the person to be married, you must have heard of him, it’s the Kang County Prince, Prince of Zhao, Li You.”
