"I didn’t go," the girl shook her head, "I heard it from my aunt."
Such a cocktail party is hardly accessible to the average Joe.
"I know about this too," another girl chid in; she was quite close to the first girl.
That girl explained, "Xiaoxi told right from the start, Xiaoxi’s aunt is the mayor’s daughter-in-law, so she attended the cocktail party, no doubt about it."
So here are familiar with Xiaoxi and indeed know that Xiaoxi’s aunt is the capital’s mayor’s wife, so naturally, no one doubted it.
The mayor of the capital of the Empire—such an official is quite impressive to the average person. Suddenly, no one dared to express any doubts anymore, all gaping at Di Jinxuan with eyes filled with both envy and awe that they could hardly conceal.
Di Jinxuan was extrely uncomfortable under those gazes and finally couldn’t take it anymore; she quickly stood up and said to Qin Yun and the others, "I’m going to the bathroom, anyone want to co?"
"Let’s go together," Zhou Yihan said with a raised eyebrow and a sigh of relief, "Co on, we’ll accompany you."
Di Jinxuan grabbed three people and dashed off, leaving behind a group of shocked girls.
After Di Jinxuan had left, the group of girls began discussing.
"Really? Is she really from the Di Family?"
"She must be, otherwise how could she be associated with Jin Palace?"
"She’s so lucky."
"Ah, being born into a good family is indeed a skill, I’m so jealous."
"Miss from the Di Family, huh, I bet even n like those from Jin Palace couldn’t chase her."
"That’s true, ordinary n can hardly catch up, so there’s no need to be envious; being from a too prominent family makes it hard to pick a partner."
"Yeah, her brothers and sisters are all so outstanding; it must be tough for her to get married."
"Since ancient tis, princesses have worried about marriage," soone laughed, "If things between her and Jin Palace go south, it’d probably be tough for her to find another man."
"Yeah, Jin Palace is already twenty-six, and that’s quite a few years older than her too. For soone like her, to find soone of the sa age or not much older but still with good credentials, that’s really tough."
Thinking and discussing thus, the girls felt much better.
n choosing partners is different from won; a very accomplished and top-notch man only needs to choose a wife who is decently beautiful, cos from a clean background, and fits the role of a faithful wife and good mother — he doesn’t need to have made sothing of himself, and no one would gossip.
For won, if their families are too powerful and influential, choosing a man becos difficult.
Firstly, the age difference shouldn’t be too large; secondly, the man’s family background should also be substantial, and besides that, the man himself must be outstanding, otherwise, with a rich and powerful family and each sibling being top-notch, marrying such a woman wouldn’t be happy as a ’weak chicken.’
Being oppressed everywhere, unable to speak up,— who would want such a life?
n, even less so.
Thus, they felt that although Di Jinxuan seed to truly have good fortune, it was a pity she was a woman, and won have to marry — marriage and family are indeed a life’s pursuit.
No matter how good her family is, she’d end up living in soone else’s ho, and if the discrepancy is too big, it would indeed be tough.
Thus, thinking this way, as a form of consolation for their jealousy, they didn’t feel so upset anymore.
So even began to take pleasure in her misfortune, wondering what kind of man Di Jinxuan would end up with if Jin Palace broke up with her.
Whether it’s a woman or a man, the most taboo thing is to find the next partner worse than the previous.
For anyone, maintaining a bit of dignity is always necessary unless you’ve truly seen through the ways of the world, only wishing to lead an ordinary life, unconcerned with others’ gossip or that you once lived like a princess but later like a servant.
