Chapter 1363 - 196, protecting
The more outstanding and appealing the woman was, the more she hated her. She could never allow that little bastard to gain anything good in this world, including a wife!
"Daughter, you don’t have to worry about this. Mother has already figured it out. I will find you a son-in-law who comes to marry into our family!" Lady Jiang had already made plans, even if those people in the clan coveted the Chen family’s property, as long as the son-in-law she found was capable, she wouldn’t fear them taking advantage during a crisis.
Hearing Lady Jiang’s words, Chen Leyao almost laughed in anger, "Mother, what are you saying? A capable son-in-law who comes to marry into our family? Ha, have you thought about which man would be willing to be such a son-in-law? Unless he is extremely poor or a man of weak character, who would shamelessly come to be our son-in-law? Besides, do you think your daughter is only worthy of a son-in-law who comes to marry into our family? Even Wu Hanyu, a daughter born from a concubine, could marry respectably, why must I settle for a lackluster man as a son-in-law?"
Just like how a woman is unable to inherit property, a man being a son-in-law who comes to marry into a family is utterly unacceptable. It would be excusable if it were for love, like Li Jiacheng who willingly married An Yixiang, but generally, men who agree to such are deemed spineless.
No wonder Chen Leyao disagreed with Lady Jiang’s arrangement.
"Not interested in a son-in-law who comes to marry into our family? Well then, how about this, let me play matchmaker and let’s make you a concubine to the Third Prince!" Lady Jiang’s eyes shone brighter than the Luminous Pearl on the wall, as if her daughter was already the Prince’s Consort, and was about to enter the royal harem instantly.
Chen Leyao was momentarily unable to adapt to the sudden change of topic from Lady Jiang and inadvertently asked, "Imperial Concubine? Mother, are you dreaming? I haven’t even seen the Third Prince’s face, how could I become an Imperial Concubine?"
Seeing her asking so many questions, Lady Jiang thought her daughter was really interested in marrying the Third Prince and, smilingly, pulled her daughter to sit by her side, whispering mysteriously, "It’s because you haven’t met him, that’s why Mother is finding you an opportunity to meet him! What do you think Mother has been doing these days? Look, I’ve already found the right person, just wait for the good news from Mother!"
