Chapter 483 Bai Chuen
Guagua continued:
[Xiang Haidong's wife is of great importance. She is the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother of Yeyang Kingdom. In other words, she is Qi Yanzhen's adopted sister and the only princess of a different surname in Yeyang Kingdom. She is Bai Chuen.
Bai Chuen was originally the youngest daughter of Duke Bai of Yeyang Kingdom.
Bai Chuen has been very sensible and likable since she was a child, and the Queen Mother likes her very much.
Later, Duke Bai and his two sons died on the battlefield. When Mrs. Bai heard the news, she fell ill and died a few days later.
The Bai family had two sons. The eldest had already married and had a child. When Mrs. Bai received the news that her husband had died in the war, she was so emotional that she gave birth prematurely, resulting in one body and two lives. She was gone just like that.
The second child is not married yet.
At this point, Bai Chuen was the only one left in the huge Duke's Mansion. 】
In the video, a dignified and beautiful woman appeared, with three words written next to her: Bai Chuen.
When she was a child, Bai Chuen was the darling of the Duke's Mansion. Her parents, brother and sister-in-law all loved her very much. She lived a very happy life...
The scene changed, and the huge Duke's Mansion was filled with mourning cloths, looking particularly desolate.
The emperor sent people to take care of the funeral affairs of the Duke's Mansion. From then on, Bai Chu'en was the only one left in the entire Duke's Mansion.
At that time, she was only a nine-year-old child.
The Queen Mother felt very sorry for her. Since she was an orphan at a very young age, she took her into the palace, adopted her as her daughter, and raised her by her side.
The emperor also agrees with this matter.
This was also Qi Yanzhen's arrangement for the affairs of meritorious officials after their death, and it was also done for the military generals and the people of the world to see.
Song Yaoyao: [Bai Chuen is both unfortunate and lucky.
Qi Yanzhen took advantage of this incident to win the hearts of the people!
Guagua, you continue. 】
Gua Gua: [Let’s talk about Xiang Haidong. When he was young, he was handsome and was chosen by the emperor as the third place in the imperial examination.
At a banquet in a minister's mansion, Bai Chuen met Xiang Haidong for the first time and was attracted to him. From then on, she secretly fell in love with him. 】
Song Yaoyao couldn't help but sigh:
[This is another woman who is seduced by beauty!]
But having said that, Xiang Haidong was indeed handsome when he was young. 】
Guagua: [Yes! Xiang Haidong’s appearance is indeed amazing, otherwise he wouldn’t have been chosen by the emperor as the third place in the imperial examination.]
I continued what I had said before.
At that time, Bai Chuen had just reached the age of marriage and was old enough to get married.
The Queen Mother wanted to find a good marriage for her.
During that period, the Queen Mother investigated all the unmarried and talented men of marriageable age in the capital, preparing to choose one from among them as Bai Chuen's husband!
Unexpectedly, at this time, Bai Chuen told the Queen Mother that she had a crush on someone. 】
In the video, the Queen Mother was surprised to learn that Bai Chuen had a crush on someone. After a moment, she asked:
"Xiaochu, do you really have someone you like?"
"Yes, Queen Mother."
"Who is the other party?"
Bai Chuen blushed and hesitated for a long time before saying:
"That person is Xiang Haidong, the third place winner selected by my brother a few days ago."
"Oh? Have you seen this person?"
"I've seen it before."
The Queen Mother did not ask any more questions and said:
"Marriage is a big deal, so don't rush into it. Let me investigate first."
"Yes."
Afterwards, the Queen Mother sent people to investigate Xiang Haidong. Within a few days, all his information was laid out in front of the Queen Mother.
Xiang Haidong was a commoner student, unmarried, without a fiancée, concubines or mistresses. He was a very clean person, and the empress dowager was very satisfied with this.
Looking further ahead, he came from a poor family and had a mother and a younger sister.
Xiang's mother has superb embroidery skills. Over the years, she has relied on her embroidery skills to support Xiang Haidong's studies.
Xiang Xiaomei, who learned embroidery from her mother, can now embroider quite well.
Looking at the information, the Queen Mother sighed. With such a family background, she was not worthy of Bai Chuen at all.
But Bai Chuen insisted, and finally the Queen Mother compromised.
In this way, Bai Chuen married Xiang Haidong with all the belongings of the Duke's Mansion and the generous dowry given by the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
Over the years, with Bai Chuen's help, Xiang Haidong's career has been smooth sailing and he has now been promoted to the fourth rank.
Song Yaoyao: [I don’t see any problem after reading this. ]
Gua Gua: [Host, please keep reading and you will know.
At the beginning, my family was very happy.
Being able to marry the princess is a great honor for the Xiang family’s ancestors!
But later on, I no longer thought so about it. 】
In the video, Xiang Haidong was originally going to be sent to serve as an official in the local area, but because of Bai Chuen, Xiang Haidong was left in the capital.
At the beginning, everyone envied him for marrying a wife with such a background who could help him in his career.
But as time went on, some people began to mock him, saying that he was just a gigolo, relying on women to rise to fame, which was really a disgrace to scholars...
What's the difference between this and the men in those brothels, they all rely on selling their bodies to get ahead...
What you said was very unpleasant.
It was the first time Xiang Haidong heard such words, and he started fighting with the man right away.
This was the first time in Xiang Haidong's life that he had fought. Although both of them were seriously injured, it was that man who started the fight.
When the emperor learned about this, he punished the man, but from then on Xiang Haidong felt a thorn in his heart.
It turns out that in the eyes of others, he is just a useless person who lives on women and can only survive...
He was like a deflated ball, listless every day, and all he did all day was drink!
Later, Xiang Haidong discovered that since marrying Bai Chuen, she had the final say in the entire mansion.
Although Bai Chuen managed the house in an orderly manner, she was filial to her mother-in-law and took care of her younger sister, and she did everything in detail!
Even though Bai Chuen had never said anything bad about her mother and sister-in-law, they were still afraid of her.
She was afraid that they might do something wrong or say something wrong, thus angering Bai Chuen, and she would go to the palace to complain.
If that happens, Xiang Haidong’s future will be over!
Marrying a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family has made Xiang's mother and younger sister live very cautiously over the years.
Seeing how miserable his mother and sister were living, Xiang Haidong regretted marrying Bai Chuen even more.
Song Yaoyao watched the video speechlessly:
[Bai Chuen didn't treat his mother-in-law and sister-in-law harshly. They were just worrying too much. How can they blame Bai Chuen for this?
And I think Xiang Haidong is just taking advantage of the situation.
Because Bai Chuen also got a lot of benefits, in the end he felt that he was a gigolo and couldn't stand it anymore.
This is simply having both! 】
Gua Gua: [The host is right.]
In recent years, Xiang Donghai has been very unhappy and often goes to the pub to drink.
In this way, Xiang Haidong got to know Zi Yuan, the proprietress of the tavern.
