Chapter 159 The Resentful Fiancé in the Academy 1
"Wanwan, marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers. How could you say something like that and contradict your father? Apologize to your father now!"
When Jiang Wan opened her eyes, she saw a graceful lady standing in front of her. Even though she spoke harsh words of complaint to her, she was still dignified and decent, maintaining the quiet temperament of a lady from a noble family.
Jiang Wan turned his head away and quickly recalled the plot.
This time, she traveled to ancient society and became Jiang Wan, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.
The original body was doted on by her parents since childhood. Unlike other ladies from wealthy families, she was rebellious and unconventional. When she was eighteen years old, no one dared to propose marriage to her. Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were so worried that their hair turned white. It happened that the Pei family came to propose marriage, and before Jiang Wan agreed, Mr. Jiang agreed to the marriage.
Just after returning from listening to music in the teahouse, the original body heard the bad news and rushed over to have an argument with Mr. Jiang. Now, she had just finished saying harsh words, making Mr. Jiang's beard tremble with anger, and Mrs. Jiang was trying to mediate.
According to the original plot, Mr. Jiang was ultimately unable to defeat the original body, but in order to make a final effort and find a suitable husband for his daughter, he proposed that the original body dress up as a man and go to Huaqing Academy where Pei Shuchen was to conduct a secret investigation.
Although the original body did not like her marriage being hastily arranged, the idea of a woman disguising herself as a man was too novel for her and it was hard for her not to be tempted, so she agreed to her father's request without much consideration.
In order to conceal his daughter's identity and prevent her from being bullied in the academy, Mr. Jiang donated ten thousand taels of silver to Huaqing Academy.
He thought this was a good opportunity to arrange a marriage, but he didn't expect that the president of Huaqing Academy despised people like him who were obsessed with money the most. He accepted the money from the Jiang family openly, but did bad things behind their backs.
On the surface, he agreed to arrange a single room for Jiang Wan, but when assigning the rooms, he angrily accused her of being pretentious and artificial. He ignored her opinion and arranged for her to room with Sheng Huaian, the poorest student in the academy, out of a bad taste.
Pei Shuchen wanted to help her out, but she was a proud little girl. She couldn't back down after being scolded in person, and her fiancé saw her. She was already ashamed and angry, and Pei Shuchen's attempts to be nice only added fuel to the fire.
As if to prove himself, the original body refused Pei Shuchen's help and resolutely followed the arrangements of the headmaster.
A girl is most naive when she is young. After a few interactions and frequent contacts with the opposite sex, she was deeply attracted to Sheng Huaian. She even ignored her parents' opposition and was determined to marry him.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang couldn't resist, and seeing that the Sheng family was poor, with an orphan and a widow with only a thatched hut, they were afraid that they would have to live a hard life in the future, so they forced Sheng Huaian to marry into the family.
However, she didn't expect that he would refuse to comply. She was so obsessed with her lover that she wanted to sneak out of the house and elope with him. The matter was done, and Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to give most of their property to the original body as a dowry.
If they were ordinary people, their harmonious marriage would be a beautiful story, but Sheng Huaian is the male protagonist, so how could his wife be the daughter of an ordinary country gentry?
In the second year of marriage, Sheng Huaian went to Beijing to take the imperial examination with the original body's dowry. The original body was pregnant and took care of the household for him, enduring the nagging of the ignorant mother-in-law every day...
When she heard the news that Sheng Huaian had won the top spot in the imperial examination, she was overjoyed. She thought that she would have a bright future. However, she did not expect that she would die on the delivery bed before her husband returned home.
The original body was the strongest tool man. It was fine to leave the huge family property to Sheng Huaian. He and his children all died for the right reasons, making room for others as quickly as possible. It did not hinder the male protagonist from marrying the daughter of a high-ranking official, getting married, having children, and being promoted to a higher position. He was so happy!
Since then, Sheng Huaian began his legendary life.
People only know that he was the prime minister and a veteran of three dynasties, but who remembers his first wife who gave birth to his children and took care of him when he couldn't even raise the money to go to Beijing for the imperial examination?
