"..." Yang Chuxia shook her head, "I don’t know why either."
If she had known when breaking into the prison last night, she should have asked the people inside; maybe they knew why.
Besides asking Yang Dongxue a couple of questions on the first day, he didn’t seem any different.
Although he would visit Prince An’s Mansion once a day, he never had a chance to be alone with Yang Dongxue. She thought she must have misunderstood his intentions, but who knew it was real.
Why does Prince Le want to marry Yang Dongxue?
Beauty? Compared to Yang Jindi’s refinent, Yang Dongxue’s looks fell short a bit, and how many beauties are there in the Capital City?
Youth? With his status, what kind of young woman couldn’t he have? Especially now, with Prince Le clearly having the upper hand, many people are eager to offer him won.
It couldn’t be a love at first sight, could it?
"Don’t worry, sister will not let you be a concubine."
Secondary Princess Consort is just a nicer title; seriously speaking, it’s no different from being a concubine.
"Sister, I fear it’s not that easy," Yang Dongxue had a different perspective on this matter, though she also didn’t want to be a concubine.
She knew what being a concubine ant, as there were two concubines in her family; her mother frequently talked about them, she knew them very well, and knew there wasn’t much difference between concubines and maids.
But the problem is, can things be as they wish now?
She didn’t understand the big matters outside, but seeing her sister’s household being guarded, and the person ordering the guards was Prince Le, this was indeed a problem.
Yang Chuxia naturally knew it wasn’t that easy either, but she couldn’t really let soone marry over there.
"I also think it’s not that simple," Lele said, resting her chin on her hand, "So many of us are in Prince Le’s control now. If I were him, I would definitely use us as leverage."
"Mom, if Prince Le is determined about this, you cannot stop him!" Lele then turned to Yang Dongxue, "Aunt, you need to be ntally prepared."
"I know!" At this mont, Yang Dongxue couldn’t help but regret coming to the Capital City.
But now it’s too late for regrets. She felt a bit down, yet after thinking about it, she felt a bit happy too.
If she really married Prince Le, would Prince Le then release her brother-in-law and her sister’s family? Although Yang Chuxia was not her biological sister, overall, she wasn’t bad to her. She heard that now the whole Great Zhou belonged to Prince Le, and he might ascend the throne in the future. If she married over, maybe she could elevate the Yang Family.
The Yang Family might seem well-off in Wangquan Town, but outside Wangquan Town, it was not even worth ntioning.
Back in Yangshu Village, their fourth branch always relied on the third branch. If she succeeded, the fourth branch wouldn’t have to depend on the third branch anymore.
Yang Dongxue beca a bit tempted, her eyes shining brightly, which made Yang Chuxia’s heart skip a beat.
She wondered if this girl had fallen for Prince Le. Although the man was good-looking, he was extrely fickle. Apart from different standpoints, just saying his personality was exceptionally ruthless.
"Dongxue, Prince Le is not as simple as you think."
"I know." A simple person wouldn’t be able to imprison her brother-in-law and them. "Sister, if... if it’s hard to refuse... not refusing is also fine."
In the end, the thought of making her family flourish took the upper hand.
After thinking for a while, she continued, "Right now, we are in others’ hands, under others’ rcy; we cannot resist."
"Though saying so, a secondary consort is ultimately just a concubine."
