Chapter 174: Only Being His Daughter
Hu Mingya stared blankly at Jiang Chen, thinking that she must have heard wrong.
Jiang Chen added, “What I said was sincere, I promise.”
It was only then that Hu Mingya felt that she hadn’t misheard just now.
She shook her head in disbelief and muttered, “I’m a bad woman, no one will want me ……”
Jiang Chen said, “Those who can exchange their dignity with death won’t be bad people. You were just tricked and gullible. You’re a good girl, beautiful, simple, and virtuous …… I, Jiang Chen, am willing to marry you and am proud to be able to marry you.”
Hu Mingya’s tears flowed down again, and she swallowed even more, “But I’m already pregnant, and I’m an unclean woman. You go away, a good man like you should marry a better girl”
Jiang Chen said, “In my eyes, you are the best. As long as it’s yours, it’s all good. I’m willing to be the child’s father and love him/her as if he/she were my own.”
Hu Mingya still shook her head, “No way, your family won’t be willing to …… You’re a good person, I can’t harm you and make people a laughing stock.”
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and said, “I have a way, no one will know that the child isn’t mine. I’ll let my mother find someone to go to your house tomorrow to propose marriage, using your father’s quick departure from the capital as an excuse to marry you in spite of it. I will also try to find a way to transfer to a military camp five hundred miles away from the capital, where the father of one of my fellow students is a senator, and he appreciates me so much that he keeps asking me to go to him ……
“I will then take you out of the house and hide you in the countryside there on the pretext that I want you to take care of me. When the child is older then bring it home to my mother, say the child is three months younger, say the child is growing taller, they will believe it ……”
Hearing Jiang Chen arrange things properly afterward, and seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Hu Mingya came to believe that this man was genuinely seeking to marry her.
“You don’t mind me?”
Jiang Chen laughed, “I was thinking when I first saw you, if I’m lucky enough to marry you in this life, it must be heaven treating me well. I can’t wait to be happy, how could I dislike …… you?”
He took out a small tiger head pendant from his collar and stuffed it into Hu Mingya’s hand, “This was passed down directly to me by my grandfather over my father and my elder brother, it’s a family heirloom of our Jiang family. Giving it to you as a table gift represents my sincerity.”
Looking at the pendant in her hand, thinking that she had a way to live, her child had something to rely on, and this man was still so good, Hu Mingya’s heart was sour, all sorts of emotions surged in her heart, and she couldn’t stop herself from crying.
Jiang Chen persuaded her for a while, and then said, “Miss Hu, it’s almost dawn, we must hurry back to the nunnery. If the people who came with you find out that you’re not there and make a scene, things will get big.”
They rushed back to the nunnery, and Late Qing was actually still sleeping.
When morning came, Jiang Chen and Hu Mingya told old Sister Wu about the events of the night, and old Sister Wu was both fearful and happy. Several people conferred for a while, and after breakfast, Hu Mingya and the others went back to their homes in Fengping County, and Jiang Chen fast-tracked his way back to the capital…….
Three days later, the official matchmaker hired by the Wu Xiangfu family came to the door to ask for marriage. Seeing that the Wu Xiangfu family was well off and that Jiang Chen was good looking and sincere in his request for marriage, the magistrate of the county of Hu was happy to agree to it.
The marriage went very smoothly, two months later Hu Mingya married Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen had already been transferred to the military camp in Shizhou, and they went there together after the wedding.
However, a month after Hu Mingya and Jiang Chen were betrothed, Zheng Ji, who had returned from abroad, came to the Hu family, and Hu Mingya was so determined not to see him that the magistrate kicked him out. After Hu Mingya went to Shi Zhou, Zheng Ji ran to Shi Zhou to find Hu Mingya again.
This time, Hu Mingya see, the two talk less than half a quarter of an hour Zheng Ji left, since Zheng Ji never looked for Hu Mingya. At that time coincided with the rise of the war in the south, he followed the old Duke of Meng to quell the rebellion, and then resident in the border ……
It was only after Jiang Yishi turned seven months old that Jiang Chen and Hu brought her back to the Jiang family for a few days, saying that the child was over four months old and growing tall.
When Jiang Yishi was one and a half years old, Jiang Chen was transferred back to the Western Camp. At that time, Hu was also pregnant and returned to the Jiang family to live for a long time, but after giving birth to Jiang Xun hemorrhaged and died. Before she died, she specifically told Sister Qin, not to tell the story, Shiji will always be Jiang Chen’s descendant …….
Jiang Yishi was crying after listening. She was angry at both Hu Mingya’s rash handing over of herself almost to death, and lucky for her good fortune to meet Jiang Chen who truly loved her, and even more angry at why she was not Jiang Chen’s own daughter.
Tearful eyes, she thought of Jiang Chen holding her to buy candy people, hand in hand to teach her to write son, gently talk to her reasoning, ask her what kind of beautiful clothes and jewelry she likes, educate Jiang Xun to love and protect her sister, sister backing ……
There was also that vague memory that became clear, Jiang Chen painfully hit his head against the wall. A little girl pulled the hem of his coat and cried, “Daddy, shi shi is afraid, shi shi is afraid ……”
Jiang Chen squatted down and took the little girl into his arms, and said with more sobs, “Shiji is not afraid, you don’t have a mother anymore, there is still daddy ……”
He completely honored his promise, and loved that child as a raw child, even more than a pro son.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yishi cried even more uncontrollably. Afraid of hearing the commotion outside, she used a handkerchief to cover her mouth to death, not making a sound.
Wu Dabo advised, “Great Grandma is sorry for her loss. Second Master and Auntie went to another world to reunite, Great Grandma still has to continue to live in this world. Great Grandma’s real father is that one, and there are only three people who know the truth. My mother has passed away, and now only Qin Lin and his mother and I know.
“Mrs. Zheng is unhappy with Great Grandma and Second Uncle, the most likely reason is that she holds a grudge against that person for not wanting to return to the capital because she keeps remembering Auntie. This matter is well planned, so as long as we bite the bullet, no one else will know. However, Great Grandma looks slightly similar to that person, so we still need to be wary of Mrs. Zheng, and also don’t have too much contact with the people in the Zheng residence, just in case.”
After listening to Great Uncle Wu’s words, Jiang Yishi wiped away her tears. She raised her head and looked out the window, the white sunlight was blinding, the trees were lush and green, the leaves were spinning in the wind, the birds under the porch chirped happily, with chirping being the most popular.
“Flowers, flowers, Jiang girl, there is a good person in the north, a good person, a good person, a good person, on the side of the water ……”
Jiang Yishi completely peeled herself away from the past.
She looked at Uncle Wu and said, “Thank you, Uncle Wu, for telling me the truth, and thank you for always faithfully guarding my mother, and then me and Xun’er. I understand and will pay attention. Again, please ask Uncle Wu and Sister Qin to continue to keep their mouths shut, I am Jiang Chen’s own daughter, and I am only willing to be his own daughter. You go to the front yard, let Brother You Gui accompany you for a couple of drinks, and rest at home for a few days before returning to the manor.”
Wu Dabo finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that the girl thinks this way. Eyes are long in front, no matter when you have to look ahead.”
Seeing Jiang Yishi nod, only then did Eldest Uncle Wu open the door and walk out.
Seeing her husband finally come out, Sister Wu asked in a small voice, “What is it?”
Wu Dabo frowned and whispered, “Old woman, why ask so many questions.” Striding off to the courtyard gate.
Thank you for the sunny day reward, thank you pro’s monthly ticket.
