CHAPTER 570: 329 CONDITIONS FOR MARRYING INTO THE JIANG FAMILY!_3

Bold and foolish commoner!

As Liu Manyi caressed her belly and saw the old patriarch’s furrowed brows, her expression also became puzzled, "Dad, you don’t... you don’t disagree with their relationship, do you?" Liu Manyi feared disharmony within the residence, and turned cautiously toward Jiang Jiujue to persuade him carefully, "Old patriarch, there’s something... I don’t know whether it should be said or not, but Xuanxuan has been rebellious since he was young, and it took many years for him to settle down. Now that he’s finally come across a girl he likes who can manage him, the Xia Family and Jiang Family are well matched, and Yeye is a girl without fault. In my opinion, you shouldn’t..."

Jiang Jiujue’s eyelids drooped, and although he didn’t completely agree, what Liu Manyi said did make some sense. Even if that Fairy needed to be punished, it would be a matter for after their return to Huier Mountain. In this life, if Jiang Xuan insisted on marrying her, he had no reason to object, and he did not wish to needlessly provoke divine dissatisfaction.

Besides, if he now adamantly refused to let Heavenly Dao be with that demoness, and Heavenly Dao truly defied him, rekindling their past on Huier Mountain, wouldn’t that be an even worse scenario?

It would be better to let them freely develop their relationship now; once Heavenly Dao grew tired and realized that the demoness was not as ideal as he had imagined, that would naturally resolve this major worry of theirs!

Having thought it through, Jiang Jiujue’s expression softened progressively, "I didn’t say I disagreed. Don’t make wild guesses, otherwise Xuanxuan will be unhappy when he finds out."

Seeing that he was serious, Liu Manyi finally felt at ease, "I was overthinking it," then her eyes lit up, "Right, old patriarch, it has been some time since the New Year, and Yeye hasn’t come to visit our home yet. How about I arrange for it this weekend and invite the little fellow over for a meal?"

Jiang Jiujue’s expression darkened upon hearing this, but then he thought that if Heavenly Dao really wanted to be with her, he should indeed take the opportunity to have a talk with her; necessary admonitions could not be omitted.

"Alright, let’s set it for this weekend. I also want to have a talk with her." He agreed immediately, and Liu Manyi felt even more relieved, "However, I still need to go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up this weekend, so I’ll be back later..."

Jiang Jiujue replied, "You should go; I’ll take care of entertaining her."

"Then I’ll leave it to you, Dad," Liu Manyi, thinking of the prenatal check-up, felt a bit annoyed, "Dad, Yeye originally said it would be better for me to exercise moderately, but now my belly is growing so fast that even yoga is inconvenient. Should I consider reducing..."

"Reduce what? A quickly growing belly indicates a healthy baby! You should listen to the doctors and not mess around!" Jiang Jiujue said sternly.

Liu Manyi could not argue with him, "Alright..."

On Saturday, Xia Ye arrived at the Jiang Family as planned.

Wang Dahai drove into the old Jiang residence, where Xia Ye was met with the highest form of etiquette—a personal reception by the Jiang family patriarch.

From a distance, Xia Ye saw Jiang Jiujue holding his cell phone, walking towards him with a fake smile plastered on his face.

"Xuanxuan, I’ve picked up Yeye. I’ll take her inside for a bite to eat right away. You take your time on the road, no hurry..."

As he spoke, the cellphone was thrust in front of Xia Ye’s face, and through it, she saw Jiang Xuan in the video, seemingly in the back of a car.

Seeing Xia Ye, Jiang Xuan’s expression softened, "I’ll be there soon."

Xia Ye nodded her head.

Jiang Jiujue wrapped an arm around Xia Ye’s shoulder, displaying to the video a peaceful coexistence between the two, "Alright then, be at ease. I’m going to hang up now."

Wang Dahai, left inside the car, muttered to himself about how surreal the situation was.

Miss Xia held such a status in the Jiang household?

But as soon as the two of them entered the house and the video call ended, Jiang Jiujue and Xia Ye immediately bounced to positions a meter apart from each other!

As if the other person were covered in poisonous lice.

Already having directed the servants to prepare the noon meal, Jiang Jiujue no longer held her closely. He got straight to the point, "From the beginning, I was firmly against your relationship with Heavenly Dao! But then, after some contemplation, since Heavenly Dao likes you and wishes to grant you a few mere decades of dewy affection, I won’t stand in the way..."

Xia Ye: "??"

"But!" Jiang Jiujue immersed himself in his own rhythm of speech, "If you insist on joining with Heavenly Dao, fine, but I have conditions! The revised Ear Mountain code of rules, totaling 13,684 characters, must all be memorized by heart."

"Embroidery, carriage, etiquette—all must meet the minimum standards."

"Male virtue is rigidity, female function is softness. After marrying into the Jiang Family, you must strictly adhere to women’s conventions, always hold Heavenly Dao in highest respect, and shall not charm the ruler, leading him astray from his duties..."

"You—" Xia Ye couldn’t help but interrupt.

"What about me?" Jiang Jiujue huffed coldly, "Are you trying to say I’m too kind? Hmph, don’t get me wrong, this isn’t for your sake! It’s all for Heavenly Dao!"

"What I was going to say is..." Xia Ye’s veins throbbed at her temple, "You’re sick, aren’t you?!"
