Chapter 1455: Chapter 1455 Sister Heart-to-Heart 1

Upon hearing Du Juan’s disdain for those of lower social rank, Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but shake her head.

"The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is crucial. Xiaoyun is inherently fiery, and I’m afraid she might not be able to handle Du Juan, always nitpicking." Although Lu Jiang holds a high position and has a promising future, he is merely a brother-in-law and doesn’t represent Feng Qingyun’s superior origins to Du Juan’s satisfaction. The latter would certainly prefer to marry a woman from a family of a much higher pedigree.

In some people’s eyes, one’s background outweighs everything, but in others’ eyes, existing power and influence are paramount.

Du Juan belongs to the latter category; there are too many people like her who, without cleaning their legs from mud, start to disdain those still muddy and do so with an air of absolute superiority.

If there’s any benefit from policies enacted since the country’s founding, it probably lies in breaking down fixed social strata, though it didn’t last very long.

At this point, Feng Qingxue suddenly shook her head, "No, with Xiaoyun’s methods, she won’t be overwhelmed. She would clash directly with Du Juan, leaving the latter unable to retaliate."

Bearing the injustice? That’s not their family’s style.

Lu Jiang immediately laughed, "Since you’re not worried about Xiaoyun being disadvantaged, then why not agree to Zhanpeng’s courtship?"

Feng Qingxue looked at him sideways, "Did I say so? The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship has always been a problem since ancient times, unsolvable. Zhanpeng hasn’t impressed me enough to overlook everything and let him pursue my sister. I only have one sister, sending off a sister feels just like sending off a daughter, I always hope for her to have a perfect future."

"In life, what’s ever perfect? Just know that too full a moon starts to wane, water that’s too full overflows, slight imperfection instead might be the most beautiful," Lu Jiang spoke a truth.

Feng Qingxue’s lips moved slightly, "How about Wa Sheng and Zhanpeng?"

Lu Jiang thought for a bit, "Didn’t I tell you? Very learned and talented. Wa Sheng, although he moved with the military troupe, was tutored by the prestigious. His teacher was a famous intellectual at the time, a man of great personal cultivation. Zhanpeng most resembles his father with exceptional language talent. Born on the day of the nation’s founding, he grew up in peaceful times, having been wholeheartedly nurtured by his father. He has been exposed to prestigious teachers from a young age, is proficient in several foreign languages, and also skilled in arts, music, horse riding, and shooting. He’s no less exceptional than our own children!"

"That impressive?" Feng Qingxue looked at him with new respect.

"A particularly distinguished young man, how else do you think he’s the darling of the big courtyard?" Lu Jiang spoke about this candidly, "His three older brothers and three sisters-in-law are also extraordinary, two brothers in politics, one in the military, and his sisters-in-law have achievements in various fields. Having an ordinary background doesn’t mean ordinary personal achievements. Rarely seen is their unity and cordial nature."

Feng Qingxue nodded, "That last point you made is quite right, an ordinary background does not mean ordinary personal achievements. Our era isn’t decades later where it’s difficult for those of low birth to rise; how many of our country’s proletarian revolutionaries came from especially wealthy backgrounds? Didn’t they all earn their status today through their own efforts? In others’ eyes, you are merely a son of a landlord of poor ’class status’, and I am just a daughter of muddy-legged peasants, with two disappointing brothers."

Feng Qingxue values character, temper, and interpersonal skills, and does not care about the high or low social ranking. Why should she look down on someone of a similar background to herself? As long as her daughter likes him and can live with him for a lifetime, the rest can be slowly adjusted after marriage. However, according to Lu Jiang, Du Juan is not such a person.
