Chapter 909: Jiu Jiu’s Requirements for a Husband
"Jiujiu..." Seeing Ye Jiu, the Princess Consort of Jing also displayed a look of happiness.
Ye Jiu walked in, looking at the Princess Consort of Jing, but her heart was actually quite complicated.
Clearly, she was the main wife, yet her own husband was taking a concubine, and she still had to help with the arrangements.
Ye Jiu suddenly understood the helplessness of the Princess Consort of Jing at that time.
In any case, in this lifetime, she would never assist Sikong Mo in taking a concubine. Furthermore, just the thought of him one day being intimate with another woman and having children gave Ye Jiu the impulse to chop him to pieces.
Seeing Ye Jiu’s expression wasn’t particularly good, and recalling what she had just said to the Princess Consort, Bai Concubine suddenly felt very embarrassed.
"Um, I still have some matters in my courtyard, so I won’t disturb the Princess Consort and the Commandery Princess, I’ll leave first." After saying this, Bai Concubine departed.
"Nanny, you also go and make arrangements first," said the Princess Consort of Jing to Nanny Liu.
"Yes."
Just as Nanny Liu was about to leave, Ye Jiu stopped her, "Hold on."
"Commandery Princess..." Nanny Liu paused.
"Mother’s body has not long recovered and isn’t suitable for labor. The matter of the new concubine entering the manor, leave it to me to handle," said Ye Jiu with a tone of absolute decision, not inquiry.
"This..." Nanny Liu looked at the Princess Consort of Jing with difficulty.
The Princess Consort of Jing sighed with resignation, "Jiujiu, you are a daughter, it’s not proper to intervene in matters of your elders. It’s most appropriate for this to be arranged by me."
After all, Ye Jiu was unmarried and could manage the household, but it wasn’t suitable for her to intervene in her father’s arrangements.
"Mother, are you upset?" Ye Jiu asked.
The Princess Consort of Jing smiled, "At first, perhaps it was upsetting, but in time, one gets used to it. A woman, sooner or later, has to take this step..."
As she spoke, the Princess Consort of Jing realized she had misspoken but seized the opportunity to educate Ye Jiu.
"Jiujiu, what kind of husband do you want? Shall I make arrangements for you?" As she spoke, the Princess Consort of Jing continued, "I think it’s best if his status isn’t too high, his nature should be gentle, but his looks absolutely cannot be lacking." Otherwise, he wouldn’t be worthy of her beautiful Jiujiu.
"Why shouldn’t his status be too high?" Ye Jiu wasn’t surprised; among these conditions mentioned by the Princess Consort, Sikong Mo only just matched in appearance.
Though not entirely, while he might not be kind to others, in front of her, apart from the first few meetings, he had always been gentle.
A simple question left the Princess Consort of Jing pondering for a while, "Our Jiujiu is a Commandery Princess, her status is already sufficiently noble, there’s no need to cling to someone higher. If the husband’s status is lower, the in-laws will value you more. As for his character, naturally, for our Jiujiu, he must be gentle and caring. Moreover, someone with poor looks wouldn’t match our Jiujiu."
For the first time, Ye Jiu felt as if she truly regarded the woman in front of her as a mother.
Sitting across from the Princess Consort of Jing, Ye Jiu said, "Even if my future husband is immensely powerful, he would not dare to treat me badly."
Otherwise, her Plane Space could certainly make him lose everything.
The Princess Consort of Jing detected a hint from these words, "Does Jiujiu happen to have someone in mind?"
These past few days, she had just intended to investigate the sons of various Aristocratic Families, trying to find a good match for Jiujiu and had not yet considered whether Jiujiu might have chosen someone herself.
After all, marriage has always been a matter dictated by matchmakers and parental arrangements; it was unheard of for young ladies from noble families to personally choose their husbands.
