Chapter 663: Chapter 663: The Concubine Enters the Door First (3)_1
"Bai Jinyan must enter the door first!" Pei Qian suddenly spoke in a cold voice.
Yang Boyan startled for a moment, eyes widening, pupils contracting, "What..."
"She came to see me; you agreed to take her as a concubine before your family agreed to let you marry me," Pei Qian said calmly.
Yang Boyan suddenly stood up, "She actually came to Yuanyang County? When did she come to see you?"
"Yesterday." Pei Qian cast her gaze downward, hiding the fury and hate in her eyes.
Yang Boyan looked at her face and couldn’t speak for a while, "... Qianqian, I’m sorry. It was the only way my family would agree to let me marry you as my wife. I had to compromise."
"I know you’ve made many sacrifices to marry me, but I don’t like her! She’s a miss from the Bai family; I might not be inferior to her! Let her marry into the family first! I want to see it!" Pei Qian lifted her gaze, staring intently at him.
"Qianqian! Even if she marries into the family, she will only be a concubine; she won’t threaten your status!" Yang Boyan hurriedly explained.
"I want to see her marry into the family first! I want to see what the rules are like when the Yang family takes in a concubine! My family might not be very high-profile, but we’re not that much inferior to others," demanded Pei Qian.
Yang Boyan felt somewhat troubled, "To take a concubine before our wedding would also be disrespectful to you. Qianqian, you..."
"I just turned fourteen this year. If you want to marry me, you should at least wait until I’m of marital age; there’s still one more year. I want to see her marry in first! Don’t think about marrying me off first, then treat me frugally and later give the concubine I studio grander wedding than mine, thinking you can slap me in the face!" Pei Qian angrily said with a glaring scowl.
"That won’t happen! We too are a respectable family; we would never shame the principal wife! Your honor is also my honor; my family won’t disregard it; you can be completely at ease about this!" Yang Boyan tried to reassure her.
"I’m not at ease! I’ve never had a heart that could be put to rest!" Pei Qian retorted angrily.
Seeing her demeanor, Yang Boyan knew that if he didn’t agree, she would hold a grudge and refuse to betroth herself to him, feeling somewhat helpless, he reached out to touch her head.
Pei Qian stepped back to avoid him, glaring furiously at him with dark clouds over her small face.
"Fine, I agree to it!" Yang Boyan eventually nodded.
Leaving Liu’er Alley, Yang Boyan’s expression turned dark and unpleasant. He hadn’t expected that his cousin would also come to Yuanyang County and had even sought out Pei Qian, saying things he couldn’t even begin to inquire about. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Sending people to inquire at the town inn and the town entrance, he learned that Bai Jinyan hadn’t been in Taiping Town for long before she left, and Yang Boyan went directly to Yuanyang County to find her.
When Bai Jinyan saw that he had come looking for her, she didn’t intend to hide her reasons for coming, "Boyan!"
With an ugly expression, Yang Boyan looked at her, "Cousin... Why have you come to Yuanyang County!?" She had been waiting for several years, and even though he was reluctant to marry her, calling off the engagement like this made him feel guilty towards her. But for her to come and see Pei Qian like this...
Bai Jinyan looked at him and let out a laugh, "What’s wrong? Did your not-yet betrothed, Ms. Pei, tell you to come here to avenge her for feeling threatened or provoked by me, for suffering my wrongs?"
Yang Boyan furrowed his brows tightly, "She only said that you came to Taiping Town, told her about entering the Yang family with her; she said nothing else."
She wasn’t a fool. Bai Jinyan gracefully picked up the teapot and poured him some tea, "That’s indeed the truth. I just wanted to come and see who it was that made you so adamant to call off our engagement, placing me in the position of concubine instead." She naturally wanted to see for herself this person who had taken over her marriage. But it was somewhat disappointing.
Yang Boyan was somewhat helpless, "Cousin, why bother... Given your conditions, you could completely marry into a better family, find a superior man who matches you."
