Chapter 4: Break Off The Marriage Engagement (2)
"... This—" The village chief was speechless when questioned in public because he knew that what she said was right.
Tang Zizheng was dumbfounded when he heard Duan Yixin questioning his grandfather. Seeing him just staring at Duan Yixin in a daze, Liang Jiaying felt threatened for no reason. Seeing the way he looked at Duan Yixin, she seemed to be going to lose something very important. She reminded him with a gentle tug on his sleeve, frowning in worry.
Tang Zizheng felt a tug on his sleeve, came to his senses, and turned to look at Liang Jiaying. When he saw her frown, he felt guilty for no reason.
He turned back to glare at Duan Yixin and said, "It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. With your jealous character, no man will be willing to marry you!"
Duan Yixin raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing his words. She found these people's way of thinking quite fascinating. Although in her original world, it was not uncommon for men to have wives at home and mistresses outside, it was a shameful behavior that would be looked down upon by society.
But when her cheap fiancé said those shameless words in public, these villagers did not react at all. It was as if what he was saying was the norm here.
Realizing this, Duan Yixin frowned and thought, 'It seems that the culture of this world is very different from my world. If I don't terminate this marriage engagement when I have the opportunity, it will be difficult for me to do whatever I want in the future. I should strike while the iron is hot.'
Thinking of this, Duan Yixin asked, "You mean, before marrying a wife, you want to take that young lady as your concubine first?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liang Jiaying's complexion paled. Her eyes reddened as she said aggrievedly, "Miss Duan, the relationship between Elder Brother Zheng and me is not as you thought. We are only friends. If you don't like me, then— then I just leave this village."
Looking at Liang Jiaying's expression, which made it seem like someone bullied her, Duan Yixin knew that this young woman was not as simple and weak as she appeared.
She tilted her head slightly, calmly looked at Liang Jiaying, and said, "This young lady, you overthink. I just stated the facts. You two came together and held hands in public. If you didn't have any affair with him, why did you let him hold your hand and touch your body casually? Is this a normal way for friends to get along?"
