1: The wicked matriarch hijacks the future empress.

Great Zhou Dynasty.

Jiang Family.

Above the main hall.

"Father, the Eldest Miss of the Ji Family is already a cripple. How can you make me marry her? And as a matrilocal son-in-law? Isn't this harming me? The engagement must be broken."

Young Master of the Jiang Family, Jiang Beixuan, insisted on breaking off the engagement.

The Family Head, Jiang Li, angrily said, "If the Eldest Miss of the Ji Family hadn't become a cripple, the Ji Family wouldn't even look at you if you wanted to be a matrilocal son-in-law. Your grandfather passed away, and the Zhao Family is eyeing the Jiang Family like a tiger, ready to annihilate us at any moment. Only by marrying into the Ji Family can the Jiang Family be saved. As the Young Master of the Jiang Family, you should sacrifice for the Family."

The highly respected Grand Elder advised, "Xuan'er, if the Ji Family hadn't specifically requested you to become a matrilocal son-in-law, we wouldn't have let you. For the sake of the Jiang Family, we can only ask you to endure this hardship."

Jiang Beixuan's face was grim. 'Old man, you're hoping I become a matrilocal son-in-law. If I do, your grandson, Jiang Feng, can become the Young Master.'

He could only turn to his mother for help.

Madam Liu naturally wouldn't stand by and watch her son become a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family. She began to think of a solution.

Outside the hall.

Outside the hall, many junior members of the Jiang Family were eavesdropping.

"Although the Eldest Miss of the Ji Family is crippled, she is still the Great Zhou's number one beauty. Why won't the Young Master agree? He could win the beauty and save the Jiang Family from peril."

Someone was speaking sarcastically.

Others were secretly delighted. If Jiang Beixuan became a matrilocal son-in-law, the position of Young Master would be vacant, and they would have a chance to become the Young Master of the Jiang Family.

Jiang Yunfan, the second Young Master of the Jiang Family, complained in his heart, 'A broken engagement plot, how cliched. Good thing it's not happening to me.'

However, the Ji Family's engagement was not easy to break. If it went wrong, it could anger the Ji Family and leave them vulnerable to attack from all sides.

'If Jiang Beixuan becomes a matrilocal son-in-law, I won't be able to slap his face anymore.'

Jiang Yunfan looked regretful. Slapping Jiang Beixuan's face was one of his wishes.

In his mind, there was a data loading panel, loaded to 99.99%. It was just a tiny bit short of completion, but this last bit hadn't moved for over half a year.

He was a Transmigration, and a fetal Transmigration at that.

As soon as he Transmigration, he Awakened the Daily Intelligence System, but who knew this dog System needed to load.

He had been waiting for the System to finish loading so he could fiercely slap the faces of those who bullied him. This wait had lasted sixteen years, and he was too exhausted to even complain.

Suddenly, a sharp voice came, "Jiang Yunfan, get in here!"

Jiang Yunfan was startled.

'What does that harsh woman want with me?'

Jiang Yunfan knew that Madam Liu calling him never meant anything good, but he didn't dare not go in.

"Brother."

Jiang Yurou, who was by his side, tugged at Jiang Yunfan's sleeve, not letting him go in, clearly also knowing that the harsh woman calling him in meant no good.

"It's nothing."

Jiang Yunfan patted his sister's hand to comfort her.

He entered the main hall with a nervous heart.

"What did the Madam call him in for?"

"Don't worry, it's definitely nothing good."

Everyone was waiting to watch the show.

"Greetings, Father, greetings, Mother, greetings, Young Lord, greetings, Elders."

Jiang Yunfan bowed one by one. After bowing a full circle, his back ached.

There was no other way; large Families had many rules, and he couldn't not bow.

Jiang Li said, "Why did you call Yunfan in?"

Madam Liu did not speak directly but kept them in suspense, "You said that when you discussed the marriage with the Ji Family Head, the Ji Family Head suggested that your son become a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family, but he didn't specifically name Xuan'er."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunfan immediately guessed the purpose of this harsh woman calling him. She wanted him to replace Jiang Beixuan as a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family. How vicious!

Jiang Beixuan was not foolish and also understood his mother's hidden meaning. He immediately said, "Father, I am the Young Master of the Jiang Family, the future hope of the Jiang Family. How can I become a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family? It would be better to let Second Brother replace me."

'Better my foot.'

'If it's so good, why don't you go yourself?'

'Although they say sisters-in-law are fun, I don't want to have fun!'

Although Jiang Yunfan was usually tolerant, this matter concerned the rest of his life, and he absolutely could not tolerate it. He had to argue reasonably. Just as he was about to speak, Madam Liu gave him a cold look, and her voice came to his ear.

"You must agree to become a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family, otherwise, I will marry off your sister and make her a concubine like your mother."

Jiang Yunfan clenched his fists, and anger flared in his heart.

This venomous woman actually threatened him with his sister. She deserved to die.

His mother was born a maidservant. Because of her beautiful appearance, his father took her as a concubine. His mother's health was weak after giving birth to him and his sister, and her condition worsened when he was eight years old.

At that time, his father was in closed-door Cultivation. He could only beg Madam Liu to bestow medicine to save his mother. Madam Liu insulted her, saying that his mother, being of humble birth, was not qualified to use expensive Spirit Medicine.

Soon after, his mother passed away from illness. He had always harbored hatred for Madam Liu. Now, this harsh woman was again threatening him with his sister to make him a matrilocal son-in-law for her son, which deepened his hatred for her.

"Ding! Daily Intelligence System loading complete."

Jiang Yunfan was overjoyed, then cursed inwardly, "Sixteen years! You dog System loaded for sixteen years! Do you know how I spent these sixteen years?"

"To compensate the Host, this System hereby releases a blue intelligence."

Information appeared in Jiang Yunfan's mind. Intelligence was divided into seven Ranks: white, red, orange, green, cyan, blue, and gold.

[Today's Intelligence (Blue): The Eldest Miss of the Ji Family, Ji Yao, is a daughter of fortune, a future Empress, and a descendant of an ancient clan. Marrying her can grant Luck blessings and enhance one's own Luck. Although Ji Yao has become a cripple, it is only temporary. An Opportunity can allow her to achieve Nirvana and make a comeback.]

[Today's Intelligence (red): The incomplete Cultivation Technique 'Northern Darkness Profound Art' in the Jiang Family's Scripture Pavilion is an incomplete Heaven Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique. It can absorb other people's True Qi for its own use and can also devour Spiritual Qi.]

[Today's Intelligence (red): A severely injured and dying demonic Cultivator escaped into the Dagan Dynasty and fainted on the mountainside of Panlong Mountain, a hundred li away (map transmitted). He has a bone rebirth pill on him. The bone rebirth pill can make one undergo a complete transformation and improve Aptitude. Two days later, a young hunter will go up the mountain to hunt and obtain this Opportunity, like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.]

Future Empress.

Jiang Yunfan didn't expect that the Eldest Miss of the Ji Family, who had become a cripple, was actually a daughter of fortune and would become an Empress in the future. That was the ceiling of existence in this world.

He absolutely had to cling to this powerful figure.

'Jiang Beixuan, she's the wife you didn't want. Your little brother will take over for you. I will definitely take good care of her.'

'Madam Liu, I will definitely make you regret it immensely.'

"Father, I agree to replace Big Brother as a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family."

Madam Liu and Jiang Beixuan both smiled.

Outside, Jiang Yurou, however, was anxious for her brother. How could her brother agree to become a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family?

"Jiang Yunfan, that fool, actually agreed to become a matrilocal son-in-law."

"He must think that becoming a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family will allow him to rise to power in one go. How laughable. Being a matrilocal son-in-law only brings scorn."

Jiang Yunfan becoming a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family surprised everyone, but no one envied him; instead, they mocked him for being foolish.

Madam Liu said, "Family Head, Yunfan has agreed. Let him become a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family!"

The Grand Elder spoke up in opposition, "No, if a concubine's son is allowed to secretly replace the original groom and become a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family, the Ji Family will surely be furious when they find out, and it will backfire."

Madam Liu and Jiang Beixuan's faces instantly turned incredibly ugly. Madam Liu knew that the Grand Elder's opposition was to make Beixuan make way for his grandson, Jiang Feng. As long as Beixuan became a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family, Jiang Feng might become the Young Master of the Jiang Family. She absolutely could not let him succeed.

If the Grand Elder had opposed earlier, Jiang Yunfan would have been happy, but now he didn't want the Grand Elder to ruin his Opportunity.

He was determined to become a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family, and no one could stop him.

"Father, my status indeed makes me unsuitable to be a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family. However, if Big Brother relinquishes his Young Lord position to me and I replace him as a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family, then the Ji Family will have nothing to say."

Upon hearing Jiang Yunfan demand that he give up his Young Lord position, Jiang Beixuan was enraged, "How dare you covet my Young Lord position!"

"Shut up."

Madam Liu scolded him. She said, "Yunfan's idea is good. Just give Xuan'er's Young Lord position to him. That way, the Ji Family will have nothing to say."

Jiang Beixuan calmed down and realized that giving up the Young Lord position to Jiang Yunfan was not impossible. After Jiang Yunfan became a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family, the Young Lord position would still be his.

Guest Elder Zhuo Bufan glanced at Jiang Yunfan. Madam Liu's trick of secretly replacing the original groom was indeed cunning, but unfortunately, this child would soon die.

Jiang Li looked at the Grand Elder, "Grand Elder, what do you think?"

The cunning Grand Elder had nothing more to say and nodded.

Jiang Li said, "From today onwards, the Young Master of the Jiang Family is Jiang Yunfan. He will become a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family two days later."

Jiang Yunfan only left the main hall after the Elders departed.

"Brother."

"Let's go."

Jiang Yunfan pulled Jiang Yurou and left.

[Today's Intelligence (red): The Host's sister possesses a Primal Spirit Body, with the Potential of a Great Emperor of a Saint. The Primal Spirit Body requires absorbing numerous Heaven And Earth Treasure to Awaken.]

Jiang Yunfan was startled. He didn't expect his sister to have the Potential of a Great Emperor of a Saint.

Then what was his Potential of a Great Emperor?

It must be the Potential of a Great Emperor of an Empress.

Jiang Yunfan was very narcissistic.

"Brother, why are you so foolish? How could you agree to replace Big Brother as a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family? Being a matrilocal son-in-law will make people look down on you."

"There's nothing bad about being a matrilocal son-in-law. The Ji Family is the head of the four great Families. Many people would kill to be a matrilocal son-in-law in the Ji Family."

"Don't lie to me. Did that harsh woman threaten you?"

Jiang Yurou was very clever and guessed that her brother was threatened. She then thought of herself and said tearfully, "Did she use me to threaten you?"

"Don't cry, don't cry. I'm most afraid of you crying."

Jiang Yunfan didn't want his sister to feel guilty and smiled, "I did it voluntarily. I'm not valued in the Jiang Family. Perhaps it's better to be a matrilocal son-in-law in the Ji Family. You should be happy for me."

"Alright, I need to go out for a bit. You go back to your courtyard first."

Jiang Yunfan left. He was going to find that demonic Cultivator to get the bone rebirth pill.

Looking at her brother's departing back, Jiang Xuerou clenched her jade hands, secretly vowing in her heart, 'Brother, I will never become a burden to you.'

Jiang Yunfan arrived at the Stable. He rode a precious horse and left the Jiang Family. Soon, he rode out of Tai'an City.

Soon, the news that Jiang Yunfan had become the Young Master of the Jiang Family and was about to become a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family spread throughout the Jiang Family.

"Didn't the Young Master want to become a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family? How did it become Jiang Yunfan! And he even became the Young Master."

"Making Jiang Yunfan the Young Master is just a trick to secretly replace the original groom and make him a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family. He won't be Young Master for more than two days."

The news of Jiang Yunfan leaving the Jiang Family reached Jiang Beixuan.

"Young Master, Jiang Yunfan rode a horse and left the Jiang Family."

"The wedding date is approaching. Why is he leaving the Jiang Family instead of preparing for the wedding?"

"Could it be that he's changed his mind and wants to escape the marriage?"

"How dare he!"

Jiang Beixuan's face was cold, "It's his good fortune that a concubine's son like him can become a matrilocal son-in-law to the Ji Family. If he dares to go back on his word and escape the marriage, I will cripple him and expel him from the Jiang Family."

'How ruthless! That's your own brother!'

Jiang Fan couldn't help but shiver.
