Chapter 2: Have New Goals in Life

The carriage slowly returned home. Jiang Ruohua rested on a soft pillow with her eyes closed, thinking about her home, the Duke's Mansion of the Daqi Dynasty. Her ancestors for three generations were all great generals with outstanding military achievements. Her great-grandfather followed the founding emperor to build the country of the Daqi Dynasty. When her grandfather was young, he expanded the territory of the Daqi Dynasty. When it came to her father, he quelled the rebellion and guarded the border for the Daqi Dynasty to protect the people of the world.

A tiger father has a dog daughter.

Her kung fu was taught by her father, but the third wife said that it was rude for a woman to wield a sword and a gun. If she wanted to be a good princess, she had to be docile, so that she could bring honor to the royal family and the Duke's Mansion.

So she did it.

The result was that in the dream, the King of Ying used her and the Duke's Mansion to ascend the throne, but was afraid that the Duke's Mansion would be too powerful to shock the king, so he framed the Duke's Mansion for collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country. She remembered that the people who ran to the front line for the King of Ying to frame and denounce the Duke's Mansion were those in the third room.

Everything in the dream made her feel absurd and breathless. She tried hard to be a perfect princess for King Ying, but this was the ending. The Daqi Dynasty clearly distinguished between legitimate and illegitimate children, but the Duke's Mansion had never treated the illegitimate third room harshly. If it weren't for God letting her dream of the future, she would not believe that the third room, who were treated as relatives, would be so cold and cruel!

Her grandfather had only three children, her uncle, her father, and her third uncle. Her uncle died in the war in his early years and had not yet started a family. Her father had only her as a daughter. After her mother died of illness, her father refused to remarry and went to the border alone to live in danger. The prosperity and wealth of the Duke's Mansion passed through her father's hands, and eventually it would fall on the head of the third room, but they were still so impatient.

Since this is the case, she doesn't want to be the Princess of Ying or the engagement with King Ying! Even if the imperial power is supreme, she, Jiang Ruohua, doesn't want to suffer grievances every day like in her dreams. The daughters of the Jiang family are never easy to bully!

As for everything in the Duke's Mansion, the Third House should not even dream of it! We must strike first and root out the trouble!

"Miss." Hua Chan fanned her with a little worry on her face, "You broke off the engagement without saying anything a few days ago. Didn't you really need to inform the Duke and the Third Madam?"

"The Third Madam will always know." She was rushing to break off the engagement because the people in the Third House were outside and couldn't come back. Otherwise, the huge Duke's Mansion was in the hands of the Third Madam. If she didn't act first and report later, she was afraid that she would be locked up in this mansion by the Third Madam until she was convinced.

Calm and relaxed, Jiang Ruohua thought about the things that happened in the dream, and then she realized how narrow her horizons were before. It was no wonder that other noble ladies didn't want to get involved with her.

On the one hand, she was afraid of the power of the Duke's Mansion, fearing that her father and brother would be suppressed by the Jiang family in the court. On the other hand, she really couldn't stand her being timid and timid.

Those who occasionally spoke to her, now thinking about it, all spoke with sarcasm. Those people knew that she would not make a big deal at that time, so they spoke without mercy.

She did not tell her family. After all, there were not many elders in the Duke's Mansion. Her grandfather had been recuperating since his injury. Her mother died early. If she had to talk about anything, she would contact the Third Lady. The Third Lady always lectured her, saying that being tolerant can show her excellence. She also said that the royal family's wives represent the face of the royal family. Who doesn't have tolerance?

The Third Lady was smart and knew that she had a proud heart and could not be easily tortured into an inferior and cowardly puppet. So she leaned towards her marriage in everything, using the princess and even the future queen to let herself fall into her hands step by step.

Jiang Ruohua sighed. She did pay attention to these things in her dream. In fact, she also paid attention to these things in the past. As a woman, she must not lose the face of her family before getting married, and she must not lose the face of her husband's family after getting married. Especially marrying into the royal family and becoming an existence with a name on the jade book, in her eyes, it is the supreme honor, and it is also the existence that many women emulate and yearn for.

She has been strong all her life. After listening to the words of the third lady, she has been strictly demanding herself according to the words of the third lady, so that suddenly she has no one around her who she likes.

Now think about it, if she was willing to talk a little bit to those noble ladies who were worried about her at the beginning, maybe she would know that the family education of other people's families is not like this at all.

And she believed in the third lady without a doubt, so naturally she rejected the truth in disguise. It was not until she stumbled in the Yingwang Mansion for many years in her dream that she gradually realized how ridiculous she was before.

Suddenly, she felt ridiculous. She didn't have any romantic feelings for the King of Ying. She only knew that their marriage was extraordinary. Being the Princess of Ying was her pursuit for this marriage. Therefore, she never took Zhao Yuexi to heart. The noble ladies who could really achieve her level and become the royal family's wives cared about the position of the Princess rather than the feelings of the Prince. That was what women without family background would pursue.

So it didn't matter if the King of Ying was willing to sleep with Zhao Yuexi all his life, but he shouldn't humiliate her as the Princess and use the Duke's Mansion to abandon her like a worn-out shoe!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruohua's eyes turned cold. Seeing her grandfather and father being killed in her dream, she felt that her anger was hard to contain. Since she decided to cancel the engagement with the King of Ying a few days ago, she was destined to have no chance with the royal family in the future. In this case, it didn't matter whether the marriage was there or not. It was better to say that it was just right.

She didn't want to get married and end up being used by her husband's family, which was almost the same ending as in her dream. Her father was destined to inherit the Duke's Mansion. If she wanted to prevent the century-old foundation of the Duke's Mansion from falling into the hands of the third wife, she couldn't just get rid of the third wife, she had to keep everything firmly in her own hands!

In the Daqi Dynasty, if a woman wanted to protect and inherit her father's family business, she would either recruit a son-in-law into her husband's marriage. However, after her father passed away, everything would still fall into the hands of her husband-in-law, which she did not consider.

The other is for a woman to be able to establish her own family and inherit the family business openly, that is, to be granted the title of princess.

After setting the goal, Jiang Ruohua stretched his eyebrows. Hua Chan, who had seen all this, breathed a sigh of relief. The young lady has always been very powerful, but if she didn't say anything over the years, she must have suffered a lot of grievances. She and the young lady grew up together. See I felt really distressed, and as soon as my mind changed, I changed the subject and asked about something else.

"By the way, Miss, when the marriage was granted that day, how many people endured the reluctance to get married. How did Miss manage to call off the marriage so easily?"

Hearing her question, Jiang Ruohua smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course it's because the Jiang family has military power."

Of course, this was only part of the reason. In fact, after entering the palace, she first went to meet the Queen Mother. The Jiang family served the country loyally. She first hinted to the Queen Mother that the Jiang family was so powerful that they could only cover the sky with one hand in the court, and then talked about the Jiang family. There is no successor, and the most important thing is that all military power must be returned to the hands of the Tian family.
