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

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

He explained that if the residents of the Capital City were to gossip about a reason for Sixth Young Master Jiang to take another wife after twenty years, it would be to marry Lu Shuangshuang. He would then bring this new woman home and request Lu Shuangshuang’s blessing. Only with her permission could the other woman be recognized as the second wife.

In this day and age, could the concepts of a first and second wife still exist?

Cheng Cheng informed her, however, that such traditions persist in Pingzhou within D State. Within the Great Aristocratic Family, the practice of polygamy remains a reality.

Even if a legal marriage certificate cannot be obtained, both the clan and the public would acknowledge the union.

Executing such a plan wouldn't be difficult; Sixth Young Master Jiang would only need to divorce his current wife, wed Lu Shuangshuang, and then remarry the former wife according to ancient rituals.

A second wedding banquet could even be held for her to facilitate a public debut.

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

After all, Lu Shuangshuang was his original fiancée. They had a prior engagement, and more crucially, she had remained waiting for him for two decades.

Betraying a woman of such profound devotion would truly be a violation of all reason.

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

She had never met Lu Shuangshuang and had no idea what kind of person she was.

Nevertheless, she suspected that Ah Liu harbored no romantic feelings for Lu Shuangshuang; otherwise, he would have felt some sense of remorse toward her after discovering the truth about Chen Zhu.

"Sigh."

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

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

Knowing those two were guarding him allowed her to feel somewhat more relaxed.

Cheng Cheng had also warned her to exercise caution from this day forward. With the return of the Sixth Young Master, his history, his true identity, and her own existence might soon be exposed, potentially placing her in grave danger.

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

She had managed to decode a new Talisman Diagram last night, and its power had left her stunned, making her eager to conduct further experiments today.

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

She decided to stay close to the telephone for the duration of the 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 appear to you today?"

Since returning to D State from the Capital, Old Master Jiang had relied on Chen Yiping’s best efforts to nurse him back to health while he secretly worked to recover the family accounts. Although he lacked the strength to restart the entire investigation from scratch, he was determined to compile every possible resource for Sixth Young Master to utilize upon his takeover.

Fortunately, Chen Bailey had brought back a potion from Chiang Xiao during his recent trip from the Capital.

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

Old Master Jiang now felt a deep longing for the great-granddaughter he had barely spent any time with.

"You look very well, Old Master. Your Essence, Qi, and Spirit seem exceptionally vibrant 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."

At the mention of Chiang Xiao, Old Master Jiang’s expression softened, and the deep lines on his face seemed to smooth with affection.

Upon his return, the Jiang family had been stunned by his physical transformation.

When he was first sent to the Capital, he had clearly been on the brink of death. The family likely assumed that even if he survived, he would remain a frail invalid.
