Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2349 - 2285: Becoming the First Wife

Back then, Chiang Xiao had been rendered speechless for a long time by Cheng Cheng’s reply.

He claimed that if the residents of the Capital City were to gossip, they would say that if Sixth Young Master Jiang had any justification for taking another wife during these past two decades, it would be to marry Lu Shuangshuang. He would then have to bring his current woman back and request Lu Shuangshuang’s permission. Only if Lu Shuangshuang gave her consent could that woman become the second wife.

In this day and age, does the concept of a first and second wife still exist?

Nevertheless, Cheng Cheng informed her that in Pingzhou of D State, such customs still endure. Within the Great Aristocratic Family, the practice of polygamy remains a reality.

Even though obtaining a legal marriage certificate is impossible, both the family clan and society at large would recognize the arrangement.

Executing such a plan wouldn't be difficult; Sixth Young Master Jiang would merely need to divorce his current wife first, marry Lu Shuangshuang, and then remarry his former wife according to ancient traditions.

They could even organize another wedding feast for her, allowing her to make a formal public appearance.

Naturally, this all depended on Lu Shuangshuang’s approval.

After all, Lu Shuangshuang was his original fiancée. A prior engagement existed, and more crucially, she had waited two decades for him.

To abandon a woman of such profound devotion would truly be seen as a violation of all reason.

Chiang Xiao felt a wave of irritation in her heart as she pondered these complications.

She had never actually met Lu Shuangshuang and was ignorant of her character.

However, she sensed that Ah Liu harbored no romantic feelings for Lu Shuangshuang. If he did, he would have surely felt some sense of guilt toward her after discovering the truth about Chen Zhu.

"Sigh."

Chiang Xiao couldn't help but let out a sigh at the thought.

She had already instructed Cheng Cheng to remain by Ah Liu’s side throughout the day and had him deliver a message to Sun Han as well.

With those two accompanying him, she could feel a bit more at peace.

Cheng Cheng had also warned her to remain vigilant starting today. With the return of the Sixth Young Master, his history, his true identity, and her own existence might soon be exposed, potentially putting her in harm's way.

Chiang Xiao had initially planned to retreat into her Space after her classes to focus on studying other Talisman Diagrams.

She had successfully decoded a new Talisman Diagram last night, and its power had left her stunned. She was determined to conduct further experiments with it today.

However, after reconsidering the situation, she chose to call the school and request a leave of absence.

She decided to stay near the telephone all day.

Meanwhile, at the Jiang Family estate in D State.

Old Master Jiang, dressed in a pristine new long gown, turned to Chen Baoshen and Chen Yiping to ask,

"Doctor Chen, Yiping, how does my spirit look to you today?"

Upon returning to D State from the Capital, Old Master Jiang had tasked Chen Yiping with nursing him back to health while he secretly worked to recover the family accounts. Although investigating everything from scratch was a task beyond his current strength, he was determined to gather as much information as possible for the Sixth Young Master to take over.

Fortunately, Chen Bailey had brought a potion from Chiang Xiao when he arrived from the Capital a few days prior.

After consuming the potion for several days, Old Master Jiang felt a significant improvement in both his physical health and his mental state.

Old Master Jiang found himself deeply missing his great-granddaughter, despite the short time they had spent together.

"You look excellent, Old Master. You seem particularly vibrant, full of Essence, Qi, and Spirit lately," Chen Baoshen remarked with a grin.

Old Master Jiang replied joyfully, "I owe this all to you two nephews, and to my dear great-granddaughter as well."

The moment Chiang Xiao was mentioned, Old Master Jiang’s expression softened, and the deep lines on his face seemed to grow gentler.

The rest of the Jiang family had been utterly shocked by his appearance when he first returned.

When he was originally sent to the Capital, he had clearly been on the verge of death. The Jiang family likely assumed that even if he survived, he would still appear frail and ravaged by illness.
