Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 927 - 916: The Time-Traveler Heroine’s Biased Grandmother

"I’m not quite at ease leaving Shu Liang to the two of you. In the future, Shu Chen will live with me. Do you two have any objections?" After a long time, Ye Qiu came out of the room, expressionless, and spoke to the two of them.

"This..." Yang Yuqin and Yao Xue Mei exchanged looks.

"Shu Liang has already agreed himself," Ye Qiu continued.

The couple didn’t understand why their son would agree to move away from home and live with his uncle, but both were not decisive people. Seeing Ye Qiu’s firm stance, they could only nod. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Very well, I’ll send someone to fetch Shu Liang once he’s somewhat better." With those words, Ye Qiu left, unwilling to say another word.

Yang Xiudan returned home a few days later only to learn that her brother had gone to live at her uncle’s house. She felt perplexed, not understanding why her grandmother would take her brother there, nor why he would agree.

However, she had more crucial matters to attend to at the moment, as the fleet she had invested heavily in had finally returned after three years. Despite over half the crew being dead and the loss of ten ships, they brought back countless pieces of gold and silver jewelry, along with the sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes she’d long yearned for.

Looking at these items, which were exceedingly ordinary in her original time, she realized they would cause a stir in this era. These were foodstuffs that could fill bellies and could be planted even on barren lands. If she were to offer these to Your Majesty, what kind of glory might Your Majesty bestow upon her?

With this, there would no longer be anyone who could stand in the way of her marriage to Duan Lin, right? What would those daughters, relying on their fathers, brothers, and ancestors’ shelter, have to compete with her?

However, before thinking about these matters, Yang Xiudan herself had evidently forgotten that not long ago, she too had thought of enhancing her status by relying on her brother. How was she any different from those she disdainfully labeled as the daughters of wealthy families?

Moreover, those people’s ancestors, fathers, and brothers strived hard just to shelter their families; when did that become a disgrace?

Yang Shuliang was at his uncle’s house when he learned that his sister had been specially granted the title of Commandery Princess. He froze for a moment before following his grandmother to fetch water and plant vegetables, feeling a long-lost sense of peace and tranquility.

He knew his sister had always been capable and very independent, despite often behaving exceptionally in various aspects. Nevertheless, she was his sister, and he had always been tolerant.

However, his sister’s autonomy and independence gradually made him realize she no longer needed him or his protection. He couldn’t decide her future; in fact, no one could interfere with her matters except herself. Not even when she got close to the Heir of Marquis Wei Yuan was known to them.

The emergence of sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes indeed caused a stir in the court, as Yang Xiudan had anticipated. After confirming the yield per mu, she was directly granted the Commandery Princess title, basking in endless glory for a time.

However, it also made everyone realize that overseas held countless treasures; the Exotic Treasures brought back by her fleet alone showed this. Hence, the Dayong Dynasty’s maritime trade boomed overnight, and the cost of shipbuilding soared.

Yang Xiudan had a fleet and the Exotic Treasures they returned with had made her a fortune. Added to the Imperial title of Commandery Princess, marriage proposals flooded the Yang Family, even from a Prince offering her the main wife position.

Yet, Yang Xiudan already had someone in her heart, and besides, that Prince had no real power and his mother’s family was not prestigious, leading her to accept the proposal from the Marquis Wei Yuan Mansion instead.

On the wedding day, the dowry lined an entire street; although it followed the specifications of a Commandery Princess’s marriage, some said the abundance of items within the dowry surpassed even a Princess’s.

Once merely the daughter of a merchant lucky enough to obtain unfamiliar foodstuffs, she had come into her current glory, causing the ladies in the capital to envy and subconsciously reject her.

The primary issue was, when the news of the dowry surpassing even a Princess’s reached the Princess’s ears, Yang Xiudan found socializing among the court’s Imperial Mandate circle even more challenging.

She was stubborn and insisted on never being taken advantage of, and in a short time, she brought two mishaps, neither big nor small, to the Marquis Wei Yuan Mansion.

This only increased the dissatisfaction of Duke Wei Yuan and the Marchioness, who originally disapproved of this marriage. They consented to her entry partially because of the Holy Emperor’s praise and partially due to her vast wealth.

But for families like theirs, if they fell in power, what use would immense silver be?

Thus, during this period, the Heir of Marquis Wei Yuan found himself caught between his parents and his wife, feeling aggrieved on both sides. Sometimes, he wasn’t even willing to go home directly after finishing work, as his married life wasn’t as blissful as he had imagined.

Yang Xiudan wasn’t the type to bow to others; since those pretentious women rejected her, why should she flatter them? Instead, she worked harder on developing new products, such as cosmetics, thinking since they disliked her, she might as well empty their wallets instead. Once the market was open, there would be times they would approach her.

It must be said that Yang Xiudan was bold and confident; already the Heir’s wife, she still engaged in business directly, without caring about others’ opinions. Making women even more beautiful was indeed another form of social networking.

Yang Xiudan led a dramatic and lively life, whereas the situations for the first and third branches were peaceful and calm.

Yang Shuchen, gaining the favor of his superior over the past two years, was betrothed to a legitimate daughter and smoothly had a legitimate daughter. The Yang Family wasn’t biased towards males over females, so the first grandson was deeply cherished.

After marrying Du Yu, Yang Xiufen successfully gave birth to a legitimate son. The child was smart and adorable and highly valued by the Du Family, maintaining harmony and happiness with her husband Du Yu.

As for the third branch with Yang Yuxin, because of his outstanding abilities and eloquence, coupled with his niece’s father-in-law as his direct superior, no one dared to take credit from him, so his position gradually rose.

After years of hard work to achieve his current status, Yang Yuxin further realized the importance of knowledge and social skills, devoting himself to nurturing his son. Although Yang Shuhong was still young, he already showed the demeanor of his father.

Among the cousins, the one who fared worst was Yang Shuliang. In the past, if he hadn’t been guided, he might have taken extreme measures or become self-destructive. But after living with Ye Qiu for two years, his mind had returned to peace. Despite not having an official rank yet, his younger siblings, nieces, and nephews all deeply respected him.

Another year passed, and with Ye Qiu’s encouragement, he re-entered the examination hall. This time, he felt no anxiety or pressure, only calmness and unhurriedness.

Even upon exiting the examination hall, while others showed pale faces, he displayed an air of stability and tranquility.
