Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

However, after seeing those noble princes and sons of noble families, Shen Erniang did not like the son of a fifth-rank official and was not willing to marry him at all. But because she had caused such a big incident, she now had no say in the marriage, because Jing'an Bo directly said that if she did not want to, he would send her back to her hometown and find a marriage for her there.

The environment in ancient times was already bad. The capital was a little better, but her hometown was so bad. Shen Er Niang couldn't bear it, so she naturally kept quiet and didn't dare to make trouble.

Since Shen Yuanniang and Shen Erniang were both married, Lady Jing'an could devote herself to finding a marriage for Linlang.

The candidate given to Linlang was also the one who was said to be interested by the other party and came to inquire about the situation.

Linlang looked at the candidates.

Although Shen Erniang's development is different from that in her original world, the candidates chosen by Lady Jing'an for Linlang are still those from her original world.

So Linlang made the same choice as her original self and chose Prince Anjiang.

After all, if we want to investigate those who harmed the original body, how can we investigate if we don’t make the same choice as the original body?

Fortunately, Prince Anjiang was good-looking and a nice person, so Linlang chose him.

In fact, as far as the original body's marriage is concerned, it was quite acceptable (by ancient standards). The main problem was that she would soon experience all kinds of dangers, which made the original body's life miserable.

I don’t know who or how many people are causing trouble for me.

This Prince of Anjiang is the second son of Prince An.

According to the system of this dynasty, the eldest son of a prince can continue to be a prince, but the second son can only be a prince of a county. Since Prince Anjiang was the second son of Prince An, he was named Prince Anjiang.

As for Prince An, he is the uncle of the current emperor and is considered a relatively close branch of the royal family.

With my background, it was a bit difficult for me to become a princess. After all, my family was not ranked among the top wealthy families in the capital. The status of a princess is noble. I wanted to compete, but I couldn't. However, becoming a princess of a county was not a problem.

Linlang chose the Prince of Anjiang, and Lady Jing'an had no objection.

Among the families that came to propose marriage, there were sons of powerful officials as well as sons of royal families or nobles.

At their level, no matter which one they choose, the conditions will definitely be good and there is nothing to choose from, so just choose the one that suits you and you don’t have to worry about the conditions.

However, Lady Jing'an was quite satisfied with the Prince of Anjiang chosen by Linlang.

Although members of the royal family with titles could not take the imperial examinations, at least they had a guaranteed income, which was not bad.

Although nobles seem to be in a good position, with titles and the ability to take the imperial examinations, except for the eldest son, the other sons of the nobles do not have titles. At most, they can be given a low-level and sinecure. When it comes to their grandchildren, they will no longer be given titles and will have to rely on themselves to fight for their own success. However, the grandsons of a prince generally have titles, so there is no need to worry about their grandchildren.

As for the children of powerful families, although their fathers were able to call the shots in the court, it seemed that they were doing well, but the powerful officials would eventually retire, and when they did, if these children did not enter the court, they would immediately fall into decline. Therefore, the best were the royal family, which could not take the imperial examinations, but at least had a guaranteed income.

Since Linlang chose Prince Anjiang, Prince Anjiang was also interested in Linlang - the candidate for Lady Jing'an was the one who had intended to gain information before - Prince An's Mansion naturally took action quickly, preparing to discuss the engagement after the Dragon Boat Festival. Now, they have already started the pre-engagement procedures.

Because the process had been followed, everyone in the palace naturally knew that Linlang was going to marry Prince Anjiang.

Shen Yuanniang didn't react much after finding out, because she knew that with Linlang's background, the man she would marry would not be bad.

Although people say that legitimacy or illegitimate status is not important, the key lies in the father's status. Those with high status, like the daughters of powerful officials, can marry well even if they are born out of wedlock. But it is also said that they are the daughters of powerful officials. For daughters like them whose families are not powerful officials, when their family background cannot intimidate others and make the girls in their family, even if they are illegitimate, helpful to the other party after marrying them, they will make comparisons between legitimacy and illegitimate status. After all, when she cannot bring benefits to the man like the illegitimate daughters of high-ranking officials, then everyone will look at other aspects.

Then it is easy to compare that the dowry of a concubine's daughter will not be generous, and the connections behind her will not be as many as those of a legitimate daughter - a concubine's daughter only has her father's connections, while a legitimate daughter has her mother's family connections - in this way, even a fool would know to choose the legitimate daughter.

So in a family like theirs, a legitimate daughter will definitely marry better than a concubine's daughter because of these advantages.

So Shen Yuanniang was not surprised that Linlang could marry into a good family.

But Shen Erniang is different.

Seeing that she was only marrying the son of a fifth-rank minor official, while Linlang was able to marry a prince and become a princess, she once again disliked Lady Jing'an, and felt that Lady Jing'an treated her differently by finding such a bad marriage for herself but such a good one for Shen Linlang.

Even if she had done something shameful and her marriage was a little worse, it couldn't be this bad, right? Even if she couldn't marry a third-rank family like the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, she could at least marry the son of a fourth-rank family. She actually found the son of a fifth-rank official for herself. This was too much of a disgrace to herself.

So, she was not imagining things. Lady Jing'an was harsh towards her concubine's daughter. Look, she carefully planned and found such a good marriage for her own daughter, but found such a bad marriage for herself.

Although she heard from Lady Jing'an that her marriage was arranged by the Earl of Jing'an and had nothing to do with Lady Jing'an, but, those were Lady Jing'an's words, so who knew whether they were true or not.

It was probably fake. My marriage was probably arranged by Lady Jing'an. She only said it was arranged by Lady Jing'an to prevent me from saying that the marriage she arranged was too bad and that she treated a concubine harshly.

Thinking of this, Shen Erniang naturally resented the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an.

But she never thought about it, as she herself said, because she had a scandal, she could not marry into a third-rank family like the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, and could only marry the son of a fourth-rank family.

But if she is of the fourth rank, she can probably only marry a concubine's son. If she is a legitimate son, people may not let her marry him.

After all, she had not done anything scandalous, so she was able to marry into a family like the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, where usually they would marry a bastard's son. Now that she could not marry the bastard's son of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, she could only marry the bastard's son of a fourth-rank official's family. After all, the legitimate son of a fourth-rank official's family was almost comparable to the bastard's son of a family like the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, so he was beyond her reach.

The illegitimate son of a fourth-rank official is similar to the eldest legitimate son of a fifth-rank official. In fact, the eldest legitimate son of a fifth-rank official can inherit most of the family property, even more than some illegitimate sons of fourth-rank officials. Therefore, Marquis Jing'an did not find a marriage for her randomly, but tried his best to find a better one for her.

Who would have thought that Shen Erniang actually felt that this marriage was a disgrace to her, and she even resented Lady Jing'an for it. (End of this chapter)
