Men and women are different, so unmarried couples cannot meet each other. The man's family needs to build a new small garden at home.

This is done to let the woman know the situation in the inner courtyard of the man's home. If there is anything wrong, the two families will discuss to terminate the engagement as soon as possible, and then they will get married separately without any further negotiation.

To avoid men, a separate courtyard had to be prepared. This was the only custom in feudal times that allowed women to have a choice, and it was only common among nobles.

However, due to the stigma that will be incurred after breaking off the engagement, it is the man who always raises objections after the end of the month, and few women dare to take the initiative to break off the engagement.

When Amber heard Jade say this, she guessed: "Maybe those girls were treated poorly in the Hou Mansion."

Jade shook her head desperately.

"I heard from Meng Yun that everyone in the capital knew that the prince of the Hou Mansion had lost several unmarried daughters-in-law, but they only speculated about it in private and treated it as a joke. Later, a servant in the Hou Mansion got drunk.

, he bragged to people in the tavern, saying that he saw his prince climb over the wall in the middle of the night and enter the small courtyard where he walked on the moon. He also said that he heard crying coming from inside. He also said that when the prince came out from the small door next to him, his clothes were disheveled.

His face looks so charming." The further Jade went on, the lower his voice became.

Amber was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground.

In addition to being filled with anger, Chun Ge only had bitterness and a sense of happiness about surviving the disaster.

I have always wondered, if the third wife was sure that the eldest wife had chosen her, why the eldest wife would choose three girls to take to Beijing.

I originally thought that the eldest lady wanted to take her to the Li family so that the eldest lady and Li Jianan could see each other. But now it seems that any one of them, Chen Chunli and Chen Chunyao, is useful.

Even if only half of the character of the heir apparent of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion is true. No matter how high-ranking the family members are, they will not marry their daughters to the Queen Mother's family. If they give up their daughters, they may not give up their reputation!

But the eldest wife didn't think so, she wasn't her daughter anyway.

When the eldest wife thinks about it, there is a daughter who has married into the Queen Mother’s family, and her direct grandson will be the head of the Duke’s Palace in the future. If another daughter can be adopted and married into the Queen Mother’s family, the connection with the royal family will be even closer. In the future

Even if the emperor doesn't care about the queen, there is still the queen mother supporting her.

With the queen mother and queen behind you, your son and grandson will naturally have a bright future.

Furthermore, although the grandson has not yet been named the heir apparent of the Duke of Guo's Mansion, his future stepmother will be married to the Chen family, and his biological aunt is the head mistress of the Queen Mother's natal family. Thinking of this, the position of the heir apparent to the Duke of Guo's Mansion will also be considered.

Can't fall on anyone else's head.

People at that time paid much attention to family lineage. As long as they married, the Marquis of Jingyuan would accept the love of the eldest wife. Therefore, even if the girl he married was disobedient or might cause trouble and lose his life, he would still be the Marquis of Jingyuan.

It's a government matter.

The eldest lady doesn't care about their lives at all. All she wants is for herself, Chen Chunli and Chen Chunyao, one to marry to the Li family, one to the Zhou family, and the remaining one to make a good deal for her!

If I didn't know that the eldest wife still had such a plan today, and made one wrong step, 99% of the time, I would be married off to the Marquis Mansion.

Fortunately I know...

But what can I do if I know.

Chun Ge has never felt as sad as she does now. She has been here for so long, and her fate is still in the hands of others. She is like a fish basking in the sun, trying hard to wag its tail, hoping to please the people on the roadside and save her.

In the end of her life, she found that she could only have a chance to get a sip of water by rubbing off the scales on her body bit by bit.

And this water might still be poisonous.
