Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 3: Arranged Marriage with a Domestic Violent Man in a Poor Hou Mansion

Wen Qingwan thought that Wen Mingzhu would help her choose a husband's family soon, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.

She went into the house and dressed again when she heard her father sending someone to call her to the front hall.

When Wen Qingwan arrived with two maids, the hall was already full of people, and everyone looked at her with complicated expressions.

Old Madam Wen sat on the armchair in the middle of the hall, while Minister Wen and his brother sat on either side.

On both sides of the brothers sat several high-spirited young men in order of age. They were Wen Qingwan's two elder brothers and Uncle Wen's three sons.

Wen Mingzhu sat next to Madam Wen, and Wen Qingwan walked to the last seat as usual.

"Wan'er, come and sit next to grandma." Old Madam Wen said kindly.

Wen Qingwan obediently walked to the upper seat, bowed and sat down. In her previous life, she had sat in the highest seat at a palace banquet, so she would not feel uncomfortable at this moment.

When I looked up, I saw a matchmaker with heavy makeup, a black mole at the corner of her mouth and a handkerchief in her hand.

Minister Wen glanced at his well-behaved eldest daughter and said, "Wan'er, the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion has invited a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Among all the young men from noble families that your father knows, the man who is most worthy of you is Xiao Jin, the prince of Cheng’en Marquis’s Mansion. He is a man of integrity and integrity.

Your father has already agreed to this marriage. If your sister does well, she will marry the prince as a concubine next month.

As a father, I am also doing this for your own good. I hope that you two sisters will get married on the same day."

"Thank you, father, for your good intentions," Wen Qingwan said softly with her head lowered.

It's good for her!
Three days ago was her coming-of-age day, but why didn’t the Wen family’s mistress, her biological mother, ask Wen Mingzhu to hold the coming-of-age ceremony three days in advance?

Instead, he asked her to wait three days and hold her coming-of-age ceremony with Wen Qingwan.

"Time is short, so Grandmother will decide that you should exchange engagement letters today, and have the prince come to propose marriage tomorrow."

The old lady was extremely pleased to see that her eldest granddaughter was well-behaved, and her tone became even kinder.

"Grandson will listen to grandma. Everything will be decided by grandma and father." Wen Qingwan said obediently, lowering her head even more.

You also know that time is running out!

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was at least a third-rank official in the imperial court, and his family background was not low among the other officials.

It takes about three months for a daughter of an aristocratic family to go through the entire process from proposal to marriage, and after completing the six rituals, it will take at least a year to get married.

Unless His Majesty approves the marriage and the timing is decided by His Majesty, it will not become a laughing stock.

"..."

Madam Wen, who was about to lecture, choked and was speechless.

"..."

The Wen family members who were ready to watch the joke felt even more complicated.

"...Okay, okay, Wan'er is really a sensible child." Minister Wen touched his chin and laughed.

He was afraid that his daughter would not agree to the marriage, and he was so anxious about it. However, Mingzhu said that she wanted to get married on the same day as her elder sister.

There is nothing he can do!

Everyone in the capital city knows that the Cheng'en Marquisate is declining with each generation.

It is said that a hundred years ago, the Xiao family was a prosperous Duke of Protecting the Country Mansion, but by the generation of Xiao Jin's grandfather, the title was downgraded to the Marquis of Cheng'en Mansion.

As the name implies, the Xiao family has to accept the emperor's grace and the grace of their ancestors. Xiao Jin's father is a man who favors his concubine over his wife.

Xiao Jin had been without a mother since childhood, and was the target of competition for favor between his stepmother and his father's concubine.

Xiao Jin was abused by his stepmother and his father's concubine since he was a child, which made him cruel and ruthless.

He went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, and it was thanks to his military exploits that the marquisate was able to avoid being demoted again.

He was also injured and crippled on the battlefield, becoming even more brutal, and no noblewoman in the entire Shangjing City was willing to marry him. Wen Qingwan naturally knew what Minister Wen knew, and knew it in more detail than he did.

Hearing her father's laughter, Wen Qingwan lowered her head even more.

In her previous life, when she agreed to marry the prince in place of her father, her father was also so happy. This was the first time in her life that she received praise from her father.

She got a sentence from her own brother: I appreciate your kindness.

Wen Qingwan knew that all this was Wen Mingzhu's idea. The Wen family had protected her since she was a child and obeyed her in everything.

What's more, she will be the prince's concubine next month. It would be strange if people didn't praise her as a genius!

Wen Qingwan looked very sad, but she was actually laughing inside. She had no fear of the poor mansion, and she didn't eat much either.

In her previous life, for the sake of her life, she tenaciously survived in the cruel palace.

Although she died of exhaustion in the end, at least she was not tortured to death by others.

Wen Qingwan is not bragging, she is much better than Wen Mingzhu in both talent and appearance.

Wen Mingzhu's famous poems are always inconsistent and do not match her circumstances.

Tall and majestic, passionate and fierce, she had experienced stories of talented men dying in sorrow, heroic deeds and the tragic fall of a country, but she had not experienced any of that.

How could she write such a poem?

She never spoke or acted carefully, and often pointed at the foreheads of the young ladies from aristocratic families and laughed, "What do you natives know?"

"When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest. Don't let the golden cup face the moon in vain. Drink today and worry about tomorrow when it comes."

Therefore, in her previous life, she ran away from her marriage and left the chaotic situation to the Minister's Mansion.

However, Wen Mingzhu, who lived for the moment, ended up getting together and separated again and again.

Wen Qingwan didn’t understand what a mama’s boy, a perverted man, or a domestic violence man were before, but she later found out from Wen Mingzhu’s crying.

The prince is definitely the most mama's boy in the world, the most perverted perverted man...

In this life, after Wen Mingzhu entered the East Palace, she found that the prince was not as good as she had imagined. Who should she find to help her get a divorce?
Whenever she thought of that situation, Wen Qingwan wanted to laugh.

No matter what the future holds, this is the happiest moment for Wen Qingwan in two lifetimes.

After her rebirth, Wen Qingwan was sure of one thing - she didn't want to enter the palace!

To survive in the harem, one needs both intelligent and evil people as well as vicious people, and one also needs a keen eye to distinguish true from false.

If you meet someone who wants to harm you, you must be ruthless and do the job.

In my previous life, I had to work hard because I had no choice, so I was exhausted before I turned 30.

When she arrived at the King of Hell's Palace, the two judges argued over her.

A judge said that she had assisted a generation of kings and made the world prosperous, and she should go to heaven.

However, another judge said that she was cruel and merciless and killed loyal people, and she should go to hell.

The King of Hell didn't know how to judge her for a moment, so he waved his hand and allowed her to return to the human world, and also gave her a merit mall.

I also kindly told her that she could buy anything she wanted with merit points, and if she didn't have merit points, she could buy it with gold and silver, but it would be a bit expensive.

Wen Qingwan has no desire for wealth, fame or power, she just wants to die of old age and not worry about dying early.

Mrs. Wen saw her daughter's shoulders shrugging and knew that she was sad.

He spoke softly for the first time, "Wan'er, although Prince Xiao has a limp, he is a famous young general."

"The daughter believes in her father, and the mother can't harm her daughter." Wen Qingwan withdrew her thoughts and said sarcastically.

After Wen Qingwan finished speaking, the hall fell silent. Everyone looked at her, some with gloating eyes and some with pity and sympathy.
