Chapter 367 Compromise
Chapter 367 Compromise
Mrs. Yang was coughing so uncomfortably that she drank two sips of cold water to try to suppress her cough.
Looking at my niece who not only did not look angry but seemed happy, I couldn't describe the feeling in my heart. I just felt like a needle was pricking me in the heart.
The little girl who used to make me happy has grown up and has her own little thoughts.
After Yang Chuyi had some unreliable fantasies in her mind, she looked up at Madam Yang.
Just that one glance made her heart panic.
She clearly saw the disappointment in her aunt's eyes, like a sharp sword piercing her heart.
At that moment, she felt ashamed and her heart was filled with self-blame and regret.
She knew very well that her behavior had disappointed her aunt, and this disappointment was like a heavy yoke that made it almost suffocating for her.
Yes, my aunt had always treated me like a legitimate daughter and raised me with great care. How could she be willing to let such a legitimate daughter who was given high hopes become someone else's concubine?
But compared with her desire to marry Huangfu Yucheng, she had to suppress these regrets.
Not only that, she now has to find a way to change their minds so that she can marry Huangfu Yucheng smoothly.
Because even if my uncle and aunt will be disappointed in me, they are truly thinking about me.
But if I really go against them openly, maybe they will feel that they can't control me and send me back to my biological parents.
After all, her biological parents had found a "regular husband's family and a legal wife" for her.
But she would rather be Huangfu Yucheng's concubine than agree to the marriage arranged by her parents.
She knew that she had not controlled her expression well just now, and her aunt must have seen it. She must be extremely disappointed, so she had to change her expression.
Yang Chuyi lowered her head slightly, sobbing softly.
"Aunt, I don't have to marry Huangfu Yucheng. But he is the only one who doesn't approach me or bully me because of my identity."
Madam Yang frowned slightly when she heard this.
Yang Chuyi squeezed out tears while quietly observing her aunt's expression.
Sure enough, I saw confusion and heartache on her face.
“You know, my identity is a bit embarrassing.
Those whose family background is not as good as Yang Mansion's are thinking of getting into Yang Mansion by currying favor and currying favor. Most of them come for their uncle.
Those whose family backgrounds are comparable to or better than the Yang family actually look down on me.
What they actually want is a legitimate daughter from a legitimate family."
"Chu Yi, don't say that about yourself. I trained you according to the standards of a legitimate daughter. Your abilities, your talents, your character,
You are one of the best in the capital, and many ladies like you very much. There is no need to lower your status."
"But they seldom ask me for their sons, do they?"
Yang Chuyi sobbed twice while speaking.
"Aunt, I'm not devaluing myself, it's just the fact.
If everyone used to treat me as a young lady of the Yang family for your and uncle's sake,
Ever since Chu Xin came back, everyone's attitude towards me has changed a lot. Although it hasn't changed on the surface now, I know all of this.
Some laughed at me, some were cold, and some even cursed me, saying that I was taking over someone else's nest, sob... "
Madam Yang's expression darkened.
"Aunt, it's not that I don't like my cousin, she is my sister, and I have been looking for her for so many years, how could I not like her?
But since the last banquet, she has been recognized by everyone and even got the emperor's marriage. I am so happy for her, how can I not like her?
Yes, I admit that I have been avoiding her recently because I can't stand the comparisons from others and the fact that I am trying to curry favor with my cousin.
I can't stand people saying that I have monopolized everything from my cousin. I really don't know what to do. I really won't get along with her anymore.
Aunt, what should I do? How can I find a good family when I am like this, when I am so miserable and talked about so much? "
When Yang Chuyi was so excited, he knelt down at Madam Yang's feet, hugged Madam Yang's thighs and began to sob.
"I know that you and my uncle are thinking about me and want to find a family with a lower social status so that they will look up to me and won't bully me.
But aunt, people change.
Who can guarantee that they didn't agree to the marriage for the sake of my uncle's face? What should I do if they treat me badly in the future?
By then, I won’t even dare to come back and cry to you and uncle. I might even resent you. I don’t want to become like this.”
Madam Yang caressed Yang Chuyi's head distressedly. She didn't expect that she had to endure so much.
Just now I thought I had spoiled her, but now I think she is a good child, a good child to the core.
"If it is the path I choose, I have no right to resent anyone. Whether it is good or bad, I will swallow it and bear it myself.
Auntie, can you help me?"
Yang Chuyi looked at Madam Yang with tears in her eyes. Madam Yang felt upset again.
"But she is a concubine, child. I raised you so well, not to be someone's concubine.
Besides, can you guarantee that Huangfu Yucheng won’t change his mind?
If you marry a man from an ordinary noble family, you will be recorded in the family tree as the legal wife and you will be the master.
What's more, you have us and your biological parents behind you, and we are all your strong supporters.
But if you are willing to be a concubine, you know the status of a concubine. Not only will you not be included in their family tree after your death, but your children will also be called illegitimate sons or daughters. Have you thought about these?
You know, you have never suffered any hardship since you were a child. Your aunt took good care of you, and I also raised you with all my heart. But you still suffered a lot. Have you ever thought about your future children?"
Of course Yang Chuyi thought about it. She would marry Huangfu Yucheng as a concubine, but she would not be a concubine forever.
Of course, she won't tell anyone about this; she'll have to do it step by step.
Yang Chuyi lowered his head and said nothing, looking listless, which made Mrs. Yang feel really distressed.
"Well, wait until your uncle comes back and I'll discuss it with him."
Yang Chuyi raised her head instantly, tears still in her eyes.
Mrs. Yang picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears, looking at her with eyes full of heartache.
Yang Chuyi knew at this time that the matter was almost half done, and the remaining half was with the Huangfu family.
"Aunt, you are not angry anymore, are you? I really don't have any other thoughts. I just want to care about my marriage. I'm sorry,"
Yang Chuyi was apologizing for what happened to the maid just now.
"Don't do this next time. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. We are a family."
"Well, we are a family, thank you aunt."
Madam Yang had never seen Yang Chuyi so weak and sad in front of her. After all, she was the child she had raised for more than ten years. How could she not feel sorry for him?
Forget it, let's take a step by step.
