She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Madam Ji Xiaoyuan was also annoyed that Duke An did not regard their Ji Mansion highly, which is why she wholeheartedly encouraged her eldest son and the people from the Xing family to seek justice from Duke An.

Now, upon hearing the words her son brought back, she couldn’t help but frown and ask, "Does this mean that the Duke’s Heir Apparent was not present, and Duke An never gave you special attention throughout?"

Ji Chengxian replied somberly, "I went in with the people from the Xing family, so it wasn’t proper for me to claim a close relationship with Duke An. Duke An just made small talk with me and never mentioned the fourth brother’s wife."

Duke An is one of the few hereditary dukes in the Great Xia Dynasty, and moreover, a First-Rank Duke, honored for ten generations. Even if Duke An truly disregarded their marriage alliance, who could do anything to Duke An?

Madam Zhou frowned and said to Ji Xiaoyuan, "Duke An is treating Xinyi as if she were a concubine-born daughter, doesn’t he? When Ye Hongyang married us, it certainly wasn’t said in this manner."

Ji Xiaoyuan sighed. He considered himself a scholar, having exploited only this one opportunity in life, yet to such an end.

The matchmaking had been done by Ye Hongyang’s paternal aunt, who painted the future prospects of the Ye family’s concubine-born daughter with grand words. In reality, the reputation of the Duke’s Mansion’s Second Miss was indeed very good.

Compared to Miss Ye, the Second Miss, Miss Ye, the elder legitimate sister, was very inadequate, having basically been left to grow up as she pleased. He believed that Duke An had given up on educating Miss Ye, assuming that his daughter-in-law was the only granddaughter within Duke An’s Mansion. Little did he know, their marriage alliance was recognized only by the Ji Mansion and Ye Hongyang, the Princely Heir, and not by Duke An, who did not regard the Ji Mansion differently.
