Chapter 1778: Past
At that time, Jiang Yunfeng liked Yuan Shutong, regardless of the difference in status. She told outsiders that she was an orphan without parents or siblings. However, at that time, Jiang Yunfeng was the eldest son of a noble family in the capital and the heir to the Duke’s estate. With his status, he could choose to marry a princess in the palace and become the emperor’s son-in-law.
However, Jiang Yunfeng had gone against his parents and the entire family for Yuan Shutongs sake. He also handled all the outside troubles on his own. When he came back, he was all smiles to her. All the troubles outside did not disturb Yuan Shutong at all.
At that time, Yuan Shutong would have been moved by Jiang Yunfengs deep affection no matter how hard she tried. Moreover, the other party was her saviour.
Under Jiang Yunfengs insistence, Yuan Shutong married Jiang Yunfeng as an orphan and entered the Duke’s estate.
During that period of time, the two of them were like glue. They were very loving and felt even happier.
However, Jiang Yunfengs parents didn’t like her at all. Therefore, Old Master Jiang and Old Madam Jiang would come over from time to time to find fault with her. They would even insult Jiang Yunfeng from time to time. They would often say in front of Jiang Yunfeng that she relied on Jiang Yunfengs pampering and didn’t put them in her eyes at all. It was fine if she didn’t come to pay her respects normally, but when they sent someone to invite her over, she actually refused.
What was even more outrageous was that the two elders of the Jiang family would often find some beautiful women for Jiang Yunfeng. Then, when Jiang Yunfeng was not around, they would stuff them into the backyard. They would make these women Jiang Yunfengs concubines. This way, they would spread their branches and break the situation of the Jiang family’s few generations of only one heir. If Yuan Shutong had any complaint, she would be deemed as someone who did not put her family first. That was grounds for the two elders to kick her out.
For a woman who grew up in modern society, how could she accept her husband having another woman in a monogamous society?
Obviously, Yuan Shutong rejected it directly.
Jiang Yunfeng was quite happy when she rejected the concubines for the first time. He thought that this was a sign of Yuan Shutongs love for him.
Jiang Yunfengs reaction was dull after the second rejection. He did not think much of it.
After the third rejection, Jiang Yunfeng became a little dissatisfied. He felt that Yuan Shutong was making a big deal out of it. Wasn’t it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Why should he stick with her forever?
After the fourth rejection, Jiang Yunfeng completely exploded and became very dissatisfied with Yuan Shutong.
In his opinion, Yuan Shutong did not have the role model of a good wife and mother. She was not tolerant or considerate of her husband. On the contrary, she had become narrow-minded. As her mother said, she was a jealous and vicious woman. She actually did not allow her husband to take concubines. Was she still a good woman?
Look at the entire capital. Which noble family did not have a nest of women in the backyard?
He was the only one exception.
Since then, the conflict between the two of them grew bigger and bigger, especially when Yuan Shutong was pregnant, and they could not sleep together. Jiang Yunfeng first let a few beautiful girls become his concubines.
Perhaps it was out of spite, or perhaps Jiang Yunfengs resentment towards
Yuan Shutong was growing… In any case, the harem grew bigger and bigger..
