Chapter 567 - Selfish, Madam Qus Unreasonable Points (2/2)
So when she heard Yun Ya’s words, her heart thumped. She frowned slightly and felt that she forgot to consider that.
Ya’er was only a few days younger than Mingzhu and was already 16 years old. It was already too late for a 16-year-old girl who had not gotten engaged. Someone was matchmaking for Luo Wenyou. Even though it went smoothly, after the ceremony, he could only get married after this year. Furthermore, after the bride married into the family, the couple would have a sweet time and then the legal son would be born.
In this way, it would take at least two years. At that time, Ya’er would be an 18-year-old girl. Moreover, she would stay in the manor without a t.i.tle. It was not appropriate. If she kept staying in the manor for a few years, it would be too long. It would be inconvenient to settle the matter of two more people at that time.
Thinking of this, Madam Qu grew really worried. General Manor had strict moral standards. The concubine could not have a child before the legal wife did. The concubine often entered the manor after the legal wife married into the manor for at least one year. The problem was that Ya’er couldn’t afford to wait. At such an age, without the t.i.tle, how could she live in General Manor for a long time?
It didn’t seem easy to deal with this matter!
“Aunt, if it’s difficult for you… forget it. I’ll just think that I have no fate with Cousin. I’ll… go back after my mother comes to the capital.” Noticing that Madam Qu had thought of this, Yun Ya immediately put on a sad look. She wiped tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and her tears flowed down. She pretended to be concerned about her aunt.
This made Madam Qu’s heart ache. She held Yun Ya in her arms and patted her. She promised again and again, “Don’t worry, Ya’er. Aunt will think of a way. I’m sure there will be a way.”
Back to their hometown? Her sister had said that the place had a conservative atmosphere, so it was even impossible for Ya’er to be a concubine, let alone marry someone. If she was forced to be sent to someone else’s manor, maybe others would torture her. There was no way for her, a good girl, to survive. Therefore, Madam Qu would never let Yun Ya go back.
“Aunt, do you have any other methods? Can… can you make me marry into the family first? Aunt, don’t worry about me anymore. I have a bad fate. That’s what I should get.”
Yun Ya’s words were choked by sobbing and she leaned on Madam Qu. She covered her lips with a handkerchief, but there was a choked voice. She looked like she was suffering and didn’t want to bother Madam Qu. Madam Qu felt heartbroken, patted her back and comforted her, “How could you have a bad fate? You will never have a bad fate. I will definitely arrange it for you first. If you can’t, you can marry into the family first. Even if we secretly settle the matter.”
At first, Madam Qu was just trying to comfort Yun Ya. But then, an idea came to her mind, and she suddenly came up with a method. Indeed, if she married into the family later, she would inevitably become an old lady. Then, she could marry into the family first. If she entered the family first, she would be able to gain a foothold faster than His Excellency’s wife. Moreover, she would be with Wenyou first. In the future, Wenyou would also protect her. And she would also take care of her, and thus no one would bully Ya’er in the future.
It was unreasonable for a concubine to enter the family before the legal wife, and would damage General Manor’s reputation, but it would at least be able to keep Ya’er safe for the rest of her life. Madam Qu still felt that it was worth it. Furthermore, even though Ya’er had entered the family first, as long as no one spread it out, no one would know that a concubine had already entered the family before the legal wife. By the time the legal wife of His Excellency married into the family, things would already be done. If she fussed about it, it would mean that she would no longer be as gentle and intelligent as a woman.
Madam Qu was thinking for Yun Ya wholeheartedly but had completely forgotten that she was the Second Madam of General Manor!
When she thought of this, all of her thoughts were on Yun Ya. She felt that this was the best solution. In this case, Ya’er would not be bullied. Even though General Manor’s reputation would be damaged, Luo Wenyou was a man, and he would at most be considered as a philanderer. It was not a big deal.
But now there was a new problem. How to make the manor allow Ya’er to marry in first?
Looking at Yun Ya’s expectant eyes, Madam Qu became smart suddenly. She touched Yun Ya’s long hair while comforting her. Under normal circ.u.mstances, it was impossible for Old Madam to agree to let Ya’er marry into the manor first unless there was a special situation. What was a special situation that could make Old Madam agree?
“Aunt… Do you want Ya’er to enter first? No… I can’t do it. I can’t do it. How can I do such a shameless thing? How can I and Cousin…” As she noticed that Madam Qu frowned all the time, but couldn’t think of a way out, Yun Ya was so anxious that she cursed in secret. After thinking for a while, she showed an anxious expression on her face. She grabbed Madam Qu’s clothes and shook, seeming to persuade her eagerly. Her face also turned pale, as if she were in a panic.
At the sight of her expression and words, Madam Qu’s eyes suddenly lit up. She suddenly pulled Yun Ya and said with a smile, “Ya’er, don’t worry. I have a way. Although you can’t make it real, at least your cousin will be responsible for you.”
