Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 2544 498. Eight Precious Jade Foods (Cheng Yuan'er is convinced of Shangguan Marquis' superb acting skills)

I have a fiancée in Dongcang. The woman is old and ugly, but she is powerful in the family. In order to win over their family interests, my father took me, the second son, to be his backer, and I became the marriage partner of the family. tool……"

"What? This is too much!"

After hearing Shangguan Marquis's pitiful reasons, Cheng Yuan'er was shocked, her love mind overflowed again, and the spark of love in her mind began to burn again.

This is the brilliance of Shangguan Marquis. While expressing his own suffering, he also gives hope to others. He attributes all his reluctance to objective reasons and puts himself in a pitiful and pitiful position so that the other party cannot find him. At the same time, I have nothing but sympathy for him.

Marquis Shangguan put on a pitiful look again and sighed: "This is why I never want to go back...Actually, I didn't tell the truth to Brother Cheng...It's hard to talk about it. My father forced me to I was not willing to get married, so I knelt in front of the family ancestral hall and swore that I, the Marquis, could make the family business prosper according to my own consciousness without relying on any external force. After seeing my determination and stubbornness, My father was also very helpless, so he assigned me this hard job, saying that if I could complete this transaction independently and make a profit for the family, it would be recognition of my ability, and I would not need to take the road of marriage. result……"

"What happened?"

Cheng Yuan'er listened with rapt attention, completely immersed in the lies compiled by Marquis Shangguan - now she is willing to listen no matter how outrageous lies compiled by Marquis Shangguan, as long as the other party can leave a gap for himself, she is She can place hope on the other party, which is the outcome she hopes for most at the moment.

Shangguan Marquis looked at Cheng Yuan'er's eyes with anxious and expectant eyes. Knowing that he had tricked her into trap, he continued to give her hope.

"Hey... Unfortunately, I went to the merchants to sell goods this time, and the robbers took all the goods... If I go back at this time, it will be a disguised admission to my father that I am incompetent, and wait for my results. that is……"

When Marquis Shangguan said this, he deliberately choked his voice and didn't say half of the words, just to show his sad mood.

Cheng Yuan'er's eyes trembled. She completely entered the role, as if she could feel the grief of Shangguan Marquis, and said with a sad voice——

"You just want to marry that old and ugly rich girl, right?"

Marquis Shangguan's eyes were filled with despair, and he nodded helplessly. Seeing this, Cheng Yuan'er lowered her eyes and lamented. At this moment, she no longer resented Marquis Shangguan for slapping her in the face. Instead, she began to sympathize with the man in front of her.

"Then...what do you think? If you go back, is there really no way out? Besides...besides...that's my father...how could he do that?"

Shangguan Marquis smiled sadly and said: "In the Hou family, the most indispensable thing is sons... There are eight brothers in my family. Although my brother and I are the legitimate sons of the same mother, my brother cannot tolerate my presence because of his frail body. , my aunt is in a high and powerful position, but she is not as charming as my concubine. My mother's love over the years is far less than before. All my father's thoughts are on the enchanting concubine, and he is becoming more and more indifferent to my mother. My other brothers There are many people with strong backgrounds in the family, and my father attaches great importance to her. The status of my mother determines the status of our brothers and sisters. If she is not favored in the family, the three of us brothers and sisters will be implicated in it. Although I am the legitimate son of the Hou family. , those days may not be as leisurely as those of a concubine, but it just sounds decent, and father’s favor is the most important..."

"I heard from my father and brother that the wealthy families outside may not have the same carefree life as us. It seems that what my father and brother said is true. I didn't expect that you would have such a hard life..."

Marquis Shangguan continued to complain: "Hey... these words are embarrassing to say. I am dissatisfied with you, Miss Yuan'er. My family's business in recent years is not as good as it used to be. It is not easy to do business now. The cloth shop we open at home makes a profit every year. The salt shop was also squeezed out of business because of too many colleagues. The money at home was no longer enough to survive this winter. My father had no choice but to think of marriage, sacrificing the happiness of us sons to achieve recovery. The purpose of my agent..."

"This... is a little unreasonable. You are all human beings. You must find the person you like to marry. This is a lifelong happiness, isn't it?"

"Who says it's not? Unfortunately, we are members of the Hou family. We have grown up eating the food of the Hou family. There are some things that we cannot decide on our own... Just like marriage and other major events, if we brothers have the strength, If you can restore the family business of my Hou family, that would be the best. If we are all idiots, then marriage is a convenient way to inject blood into the Hou family... I only remember that day, the five of us brothers stood at the banquet In the hall, it was like food on the street, for the children of the husband's family to pick and choose. The lady who fell in love with me was a princess of the Quan clan. She lost her husband in her early years. Her father was Prince Ning, and she was the youngest daughter in the family. Especially Being favored, even though she looks ugly, she can do whatever she wants with the power in her father's hands, and she just likes me...I don't know if this is lucky or unfortunate for me..."

"Of course it's unfortunate. Power is not omnipotent. Inner freedom is the most important goal in life. If you marry her, you will bow to power. I'm afraid you will never be able to hold your head up again in this life... "

"How can I marry her? If I marry her, I will marry her, and then marrying her will be an extravagance! It's Miss Yuan'er who thinks highly of the Marquis... You don't know, but all the brothers in my family are envious of me. "Look, it's said to be such a good marriage...why didn't it fall on their heads? And I..."

"What?! Are your brothers' heads squeezed by the door? How could they say such spineless words? If they like it, they will just marry into the family, so why do they have to talk about being nice and asking for an advantage?"

"Haha~ Miss Yuan'er doesn't know something. They don't just get an advantage and behave well, but they really envy me. This Princess Yining has a very high vision. Not just anyone can catch her eye. To put it bluntly, it's a bit unnecessary. In terms of appearance, none of my brothers in the family can surpass me in terms of appearance. There is a reason why Princess Yining likes me... Besides, in the world of the Quan clan, power is paramount. Being able to cling to the big tree of Prince Ning’s Mansion is the result that our Hou family has dreamed of, because once we have the relationship with Prince Ning’s Mansion, many business transactions in the future can be facilitated by using the relationship with Prince Ning’s Mansion, and many policies will be influenced. To dump our Hou family, these policies cannot be achieved with money alone. Naturally, my father will try his best to promote this marriage, because this marriage can turn our Hou family's losses into profits..."
