Chapter 237: The Things You Borrowed Have Never Been Returned
Not long after Qin Feng left, Jiang Yexin dismissed the other disciples of the Hundred Flower Sect and curiously asked, “How can you ask him to take the initiative to lift your niece’s black veil? Isn’t that something that can’t be taken off at will?”
“My niece has a somewhat proud personality. She clearly likes certain things very much but is unwilling to compete with others. Seeing her like this, her aunt feels quite distressed. Since that’s the case, if I can help a little, I’ll help a little.” Cang Mu sighed softly.
Jiang Yexin seemed to understand something and asked in surprise, “That person is your niece’s lover in the remote small town? How did you know? Wait a moment… it’s that hairpin!”
“Yes, for that girl, actively giving a gift to a man is a first-time occurrence. She probably isn’t even aware of it herself.”
“But hasn’t that Young Man Qin already married? Just now he said the poem was written for his wife.”
Although having multiple wives and concubines is quite common in the Great Qian Dynasty, Jiang Yexin understood that her close friend, with her special status, and the proud women in her family, would not share a husband with other women. Moreover, their elders were quite stubborn about this.
Cang Mu, after hearing this, touched her forehead and said, “Ordinary women have no qualifications to compete with us for men, even if they are already married. We can always find a way to make those ignorant foxes give up. But his wife is different; it’s not practical to try to send her away.”
The words sounded a bit arrogant and unreasonable, but Jiang Yexin felt there was no problem with it. She even agreed, as she didn’t want anyone to share her husband in the future.
However, the focus of the conversation just now was apparently not on this point. Jiang Yexin, knowing the strength of her lazy friend’s family, asked in surprise, “Since even you said that, who exactly is his wife?”
