Chapter 1363: 196, protecting 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 cos 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 cos 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 extrely poor or a man of weak character, who would shalessly co to be our son-in-law?
Besides, do you think your daughter is only worthy of a son-in-law who cos 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 cos 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, n who agree to such are deed spineless.
No wonder Chen Leyao disagreed with Lady Jiang’s arrangent.
“Not interested in a son-in-law who cos to marry into our family?
Well then, how about this, let 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 montarily 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 beco 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 t him, that’s why Mother is finding you an opportunity to et 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!”
Pattng her daughter’s hand, Lady Jiang smiled, confident of her plans.
But Chen Leyao felt like she was dreaming.
Was a prince that easy to et?
Besides, even if she t him, it wasn’t certain she would catch his eye.
After all, he was a prince.
What kind of won hasn’t he seen?
Why would he take an interest in an ordinary rchant’s daughter with no significant talents?
“Ah!
Why are you so pessimistic?
Don’t worry, if Mother says it’s possible, it certainly is.
You, just concentrate on dressing up beautifully, and once Mother receives the letter from that person, she will send you to et him.”
Seeing Lady Jiang so confident of victory, Chen Leyao also felt sowhat moved.
Actually, after hearing that Wu Hanyu had been introduced to the Second Prince, she had felt a bit uncomfortable.
But knowing that Wu Hanyu had failed to impress the Second Prince, she felt a mix of schadenfreude and pride, even thinking that if she t the Second Prince, she would definitely win him over.
However, compared to the Second Prince, she admired the Third Prince more, having heard quite a lot about him from Lin Wei.
In her heart, she had long harbored admiration for the Third Prince.
If Lady Jiang could truly create a chance for her to get closer to the Third Prince, it would indeed be a fortunate event.
Perhaps, her fate could change from this mont?
Maybe, one day in the future, when Wu Hanyu saw her again, she would have to kneel at her feet and respectfully call her “Your Highness”?
Thinking this way, Chen Leyao looked forward even more to the eting Lady Jiang spoke of.
However, the rumors outside were truly distasteful, and for the sake of leaving a good impression on the Third Prince, Chen Leyao indeed persuaded Lady Jiang to release Chen Ruochu.
Not only that, but Chen Leyao also suggested to Lady Jiang that Chen Ruochu should take care of the ss at the Chen Ji Cloth Shop.
Despite being a child born out of wedlock, he had a sharp mind and was even more adept at business than Chen Haigang.
“Humph, that little bastard got off easy!” Lady Jiang could still hardly bear to have released Chen Ruochu, incessantly wanting to curse him.
Chen Leyao furrowed her brows, “Mother, no matter how much you dislike him, he is still Father’s son.
If he is a bastard, what does that make Father?
And what about ?
Besides, what if you slip up in front of the Third Prince?
If you talk like this in front of him, what misunderstandings will he have about your daughter?”
