Anning found Princess Fengyang’s thoughts unsurprising.
She had also experienced much of modern society.
The ideas of modern society’s young won are all sorts of peculiar. So indeed prefer not to marry, not to tie themselves down but to savor lifelong romances.
Others think about earning more money, and raising a little puppy with that money seems quite good.
Anning thinks Princess Fengyang is probably one of those girls.
Having traversed many worlds, Anning has gained deep insights into many things.
She doesn’t have rigid expectations for her children either, as long as they don’t commit any cris or cross her bottom line, everything else is negotiable.
Even if Princess Fengyang were to have a few young n in tow, as long as they consent and Princess Fengyang doesn’t forcibly take civilian n, Anning wouldn’t mind; she might even quietly clean up any sses Princess Fengyang causes.
Princess Fengyang happily left Fengqi Palace.
When Xiao Yuan returned, Anning told him about this matter.
Upon hearing that Princess Fengyang doesn’t wish to marry but wants to raise puppies, Xiao Yuan imdiately laughed, "Indeed, she’s my daughter. This thought is great; this thought is truly wonderful. Why should our well-raised girl be married off to others? It displeases to think about it. Fengyang is fine like this, she should stay at ho, happy and carefree for life. Anyway, we can afford it."
Anning chuckled, "Do you plan for all your daughters not to marry?"
Xiao Yuan beca serious, "Of course, it would be good, but... if they want to marry, I won’t stop them. If they don’t, I won’t force them. We worked hard to establish Jiangshan, first to let the common people live better lives, and second to free our children from mundane rituals and allow them more happiness."
"Alright, I understand, I understand."
Anning hugged Xiao Yuan, "You are always like this, a total daughter-fan."
Xiao Yuan hurriedly denied, "I’m not a daughter-fan, I’m a wife-fan."
Anning then ntioned starting a newspaper.
Xiao Yuan thought for a mont, "Let Fengyang give it a try. It’s rare for a child to have ambition; we shouldn’t dampen her spirits. Let her try it, and if there’s anything she doesn’t do well, we’ll correct it. With us watching, she won’t make too big a mistake."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan then ntioned Ms. Chen’s visit, "Dong Da has hidden her away at the manor; we’ll wait and see. If he still cares for Ms. Chen and wants those two children, Le Yang’s marriage to him is off. With a wolf-like Ms. Chen, her children are bound to be foolish and malicious. I won’t feel at ease letting our Le Yang live with soone like that."
Anning said, "If Dong Da is truly unable to see clearly, even if Le Yang cries and pleads on the ground, I won’t let her marry him."
Dong Da visited the manor to et Ms. Chen.
Dong Da was in a foul mood all the way there.
His heart was full of anger.
He didn’t think Ms. Chen cared about marital or parental bonds.
He guessed Ms. Chen hasn’t been living well, and now that she knows he’s titled Marquis, she’s co hoping for a better life.
A woman who can’t share wealth, much less withstand hardship, Dong Da completely disregarded her now.
When Xiao Yuan was reclaiming Jiangnan, Dong Da, being a commander, was also there in battle.
During this ti, Princess Le Yang stayed by Xiao Yuan’s side; throughout the lengthy war, Dong Da and Princess Le Yang got to interact regularly, sotis exchanging fresh items or chatting amid battle.
Even during those brief exchanges, Dong Da was drawn to Princess Le Yang’s character and manner.
He genuinely liked Princess Le Yang.
Honestly, who wouldn’t like a girl like Le Yang?
Beautiful, of noble birth, gentle in character, learned and courteous, well-inford, and most importantly, Princess Le Yang treated Dong Da kindly.
A girl so good, always thinking about Dong Da, taking care of him everywhere, how could he not be moved and fall for such a girl?
Now Dong Da’s thoughts are entirely occupied by Princess Le Yang.
But at this very mont, Ms. Chen and her children appear, causing chaos for him.
Dong Da understands, if he has any dealings with Ms. Chen, Princess Le Yang would absolutely call off the engagent, she would never marry him.
Even if Princess Le Yang were willing to proceed with the marriage, Your Majesty wouldn’t allow it.
Dong Da decided, he needed to cut ties swiftly and send Ms. Chen away.
As for his children, Dong Da didn’t want anything from them either.
When he found Chen Family, his children spoke harshly, saying in front of everyone that he was unworthy of Ms. Chen, unworthy of being their father. At that ti, they decisively severed their ties.
Now that the ties are severed, why co back?
Dong Da was deep in ssy thoughts as he finally reached the manor.
As soon as he entered, he saw Ms. Chen, tied up.
Ms. Chen saw Dong Da and imdiately began to cry, "Husband, husband, make them release . Husband, I’ve missed you so much."
The two children also called, "Dad, Dad, we’ve co looking for you, take us ho, we’re starving, I..."
Dong Da’s face was dark, "Liu San."
A guard imdiately stepped forward, "Marquis, your command."
Dong Da pointed at Ms. Chen, "I recall she’s married into Xu Family, right?"
Liu San chuckled, "Indeed, I also rember. She’s definitely married into Xu Family, and these two are Xu Family’s young master and miss; they’ve even changed their surna to Xu."
Dong Da laughed in anger, "Since they’re Xu Family’s wife and children, then what sort of farce is this? This Marquis does not rember where these supposed wife and children appeared from; I haven’t even gotten married."
Liu San bowed and said, "Isn’t it so, Marquis was appointed Prince Consort by Your Majesty, soon to wed Princess Le Yang; not just anyone can climb that high."
Ms. Chen looked at Dong Da, her face red with anger, "Dong, you heartless, soulless man, you aren’t human. For riches and glory, you abandoned your wife and children. To marry the princess, you’ll do anything; I’m telling you, the marriage to the princess is impossible."
Dong Da’s children also scread, "Dad, you cannot forsake us, we are your flesh and blood, you must support us. Do not marry the princess..."
Ms. Chen shouted once more, "The princess can enter the house as a concubine. She can offer tea, I..."
Upon hearing this, Dong Da kicked Ms. Chen, tossing her over.
If Ms. Chen had said anything else, Dong Da might have tolerated it, but suggesting Le Yang be concubine and serve her tea? That was an insult to Le Yang; Dong Da would absolutely not tolerate it.
"Audacious! The princess is noble; not soone a vile wench like you can disgrace."
Dong Da shouted, "Liu San, take them back to Xu Family. Tell Xu Family Head that this Marquis says that this woman, having gone to Xu Family, is now a Xu Family person in life, a Xu Family ghost in death. If Xu Family cannot keep them, and they run out again, don’t bla this Marquis for being rciless."
