Chapter 261 Unfair
This is probably what it means to take advantage of one's seniority.
Even Yang had agreed to her relationship with Shen Beiqi.
But this Master Yang, relying on his age, rebuked her so mercilessly in front of her.
If irrelevant people talk about her, she will never hear it.
If someone gossiped about her in person, she could just fight back. Anyway, now that she had Shen Beiqi's power, she could just use him to put pressure on others.
However, Taifu Yang is Yang's father and Shen Beiqi's grandfather after all, and can be considered as her half-elder.
What else could she do except listen and suffer quietly?
Yang came out of the room and pulled her behind him, blocking Taifu Yang's sight, and said, "Father, Hengzhi and Li'er's marriage is a done deal, why are you so angry with the young man?"
Yang's tone of voice was not very good.
When Shen Beiqi's life and death were uncertain, no one in the Yang family stood up for the Shen family. It was Jiang Li who supported the Shen family for her.
It was also Jiang Li who was willing to exchange her own life for Shen Zhiyan's.
Yang has now come to terms with it. No matter how good her reputation is, it is not as important as having a family reunion.
Taifu Yang snorted coldly, "You should protect her. When Lijun enters the mansion, you have to distinguish who is far away and who is close."
After hearing this, Jiang Li showed surprise on her face.
She slowly raised her head and looked at Master Yang.
Tutor Yang seemed calm and composed, as if he had already known that Jiang Li was not aware of the matter.
Naturally, I don't care whether she agrees or not.
His voice was cold and majestic: "You and Lijun are equal wives. This is already a great respect and dignity for you. Don't be ignorant and greedy."
Jiang Li's eyelashes trembled twice and her face became paler.
She thought that after so much time had passed, Yang Lijun's marriage into the Shen family had already been decided.
Unexpectedly, he brought up the old matter again and wanted her to be his co-wife?
Seeing Yang's awkward look, Jiang Li didn't want to make her feel awkward, so she knelt down and said,
"Master Yang, do you mean that if my daughter disagrees, this matter can be dropped? Or, if my daughter continues to push her further, Sister Lijun will have to be a concubine?"
Taifu Yang sneered, "You think too highly of yourself."
"That being the case..."
Jiang Li clenched the edge of her wide sleeves and forced a smile, "Why do you have to say this to me? You should say these words to your grandson, right?"
"How dare you use him to pressure me?"
Taifu Yang sneered, his voice like the biting cold wind in the courtyard, piercing Jiang Li's eardrums.
"How dare you, a little girl, disobey your elders like this? If this happened in my Yang family, I would definitely use family rules to teach you a lesson!"
He stared at Yang, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, and asked, "Is this the adopted daughter you taught?"
Jiang Li wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yang.
Yang: "Father, I really can't make the decision on this matter. I will talk to Hengzhi when he comes back later. You just need to go back home and wait for good news."
Tutor Yang glanced at Jiang Li coldly, then left angrily.
His footsteps were like heavy hammers, each step hitting the ground with a dull sound.
When the footsteps gradually faded away, Yang turned around, held Jiang Li's hand, and patted it twice as if to comfort her.
"Li'er, mother knows that you and Hengzhi have deep feelings for each other, but you also know that with his status and position, you will never be the only woman in this backyard in the future."
Jiang Li understood that Yang wanted to tell her that even if it wasn't Yang Lijun, there would always be someone else.
It felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest, making it impossible for her to breathe.
She forced a smile with difficulty, "I can't make the decision on this matter, and mother doesn't need to explain anything to me. I'm going to see my second sister first."
She knelt down and saluted, then hurried away with Xingping.
As soon as she turned into the corridor, her steps gradually slowed down, and she sat down on the bench in a daze, like a puppet with her soul taken away.
The sky seemed to be covered with a layer of gray gauze, the white winter sun had disappeared, and the cold wind was like a ferocious beast, howling through the desolate garden and through the corridor.
She only felt her fingers were cold, as if ice thorns pierced into her fingertips, flowing through her blood vessels, making her heart tremble.
"Are you okay, miss?"
Xingping was a little worried because the girl's face was so pale that she looked like she would fall down at any moment.
Jiang Li remained silent. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her breathing.
But her thoughts were like a tangled mess, making it impossible for her to remain calm.
In fact, she had already persuaded herself countless times in her heart.
When she was in Luozhu, she understood that Shen Beiqi could never belong to her alone.
She had also anticipated that this day would come.
However, when this day really comes, it is two completely different feelings.
She originally thought that she could handle the situation calmly, and even play the role of a mistress well, carefully selecting a virtuous concubine for him.
But at this moment, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife and the pain was unbearable.
Whether it's a co-wife or a concubine.
After all, you are his, and you want to be with him day and night.
Only today did she realize that she was so selfish and narrow-minded that she was unwilling to share him with anyone.
Why could he ask her with a clear conscience to keep her distance from any man?
And because she is unwilling to share him with others, she should bear the false accusation of being "jealous"?
Even the idea of being together for life seems so excessive and inhumane?
How unfair is this?
It's all his fault. He has spoiled her to the point of losing her mind over time, which has led to her having these unrealistic fantasies.
Since ancient times, it has been common for men to have three wives and four concubines.
Whether she was willing or not, she had no choice but to obey.
Jiang Li wiped away the tears that welled up in the corners of her eyes, forced herself to stand up, and walked towards Yanyu Pavilion with heavy steps.
Just after turning the Moon Gate, Jiang Li walked with his head down in a daze, not noticing the tall young man coming towards him.
He was dressed in a crimson-purple official robe, which showed the majesty and solemnity of a court official. His already handsome features looked even more noble and extraordinary against the backdrop of the robe.
Yue Yang followed closely behind him, holding a long-feathered official hat in his hand, and it was obvious that he had just returned from court.
Jiang Li unexpectedly bumped into a tall wall of people, and subconsciously looked up, meeting the young man's peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you thinking so intently?"
Don’t even look at the road?
Shen Beiqi curled the corners of his lips and held her hand, which was icy cold to the touch.
He frowned slightly and held her hands in his large palms, "Why are your hands so cold?"
She kept her head down and remained silent, as if something was wrong.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever she was wronged, she didn't like to talk and liked to keep everything in her heart.
He tilted his head to look at her, hooked his finger to lift her chin, and smiled, "Let your husband see who made our little Ah Li unhappy?"
