Splendid Book

Chapter 69
But Shen Lingchang's first reaction when he heard the news was to think of Aunt Han's words.The eldest girl has someone in her heart, and she still met that person, and even left a token of love.He is naturally happy that his daughter-in-law was able to discuss marriage with the Marquis of Changping. He knows his identity, and when it comes to the marriage of his sons and daughters, he is always a bit out of step.

It's just that he didn't expect that the affairs of the Changping Hou Mansion would happen so quickly.

So when Aunt Han heard the news, she immediately asked someone to prepare a supper and brought it to his study in person.It is not uncommon for Shen Lingchang and Aunt Han to have such a beautiful thing like adding fragrance to the red sleeves. If it is usual, Shen Lingchang may still be interested in doing more interesting things.

But now he just frowned, shaking his head and rejecting Aunt Han's supper.

And Aunt Han put down the cup in her hand very considerately, walked behind Shen Lingchang, and squeezed his shoulders with her slender hands. Although her palms were very slender and slender, she rubbed them with a certain strength.This made Shen Lingchang very comfortable, so in this comfort, Aunt Han spoke.

"Master, what's the matter?" She asked softly, with a touch of concern and worry in her tone, as if she really cared about what he was thinking.

Shen Lingchang didn't speak.

Aunt Han didn't care, she just concentrated on pinching her shoulders, but didn't speak again.After a moment of silence, the wick of the white candle not far away burst out several light sounds in succession.Shen Lingchang's brows were still furrowed, but his eyes were opened, "The Marquis of Changping has come to propose a marriage, and they want Sister Lan's date of birth to be married."

Aunt Han's heart trembled, she knew whether it would be successful or not, and it might be tonight.

"But the big girl..." She only said one sentence.

And Shen Lingchang's brows were furrowed even tighter. Aunt Han only told him that it was a young man named Wei.The birthday banquet in the Jining Marquis Mansion was very lively and there were many guests, but there were not many young descendants surnamed Wei, so he found it very quickly.

Moreover, he also let people sneak into the place where Wei Yansheng lived. He is now renting a private house in the north of the city. When he enters the small yard, he is the only one living there. A woman usually washes his clothes for him.And that silk handkerchief is now in the drawer of Shen Lingchang's desk.

He didn't believe what Aunt Han said was true until he saw the silk handkerchief.

Although the people he sent said, apart from this silk handkerchief, they did not find any other woman's things.But Shen Lingchang didn't know, would there be other things, sachets or more valuable tokens of love?

"It's true, big girl. Such a blessing can't be cherished. If we, Sister Lan, could discuss marriage with such a family, how could we do such a thing? I only pity my sister Lan, who is unlucky. Get out of my aunt's belly," Aunt Han said in a low voice, her tone was full of melancholy, very much like the voice of Shen Lingchang's mother back then.

At that time, his own mother would always say in such an aggrieved and regretful voice, Brother Chang, it was your aunt who dragged you down. If you were born in your wife's womb, you would not be as wronged as you are today.

He couldn't help clenching his fists. When he asked Han to come in, he swore that he would never let their mother and daughter suffer the grievances he did back then.

So he took Aunt Han's palm and said softly: "Don't worry, I will not let Lan'er feel wronged. I will prepare a generous dowry for her in the future."

But no matter how generous the dowry is, it can't compare to a majestic Hou's mansion, Aunt Han sneered in her heart.At this time, she spoke again, her voice was soft and low, as if bewitching, "Master, what if we let Sister Lan marry?"

Shen Lingchang turned his head eagerly, his gaze was like a torch, and Aunt Han's heart felt cold when he looked at that gaze.But up to now, Aunt Han has already told a big lie, and now she can only go her own way and go forward: "Master, think about it for our sister Lan. Over the years, she has been well-behaved and smart. Apart from her background, What's worse than the big girl, besides, Lan'er is still a girl's student. Master, it's not that I'm greedy, but I really love my Lan'er, such a good marriage, the big girl still ruins it like that."

She knelt on the ground, with tears streaming down her entire face, "Although the matter of the eldest girl has not been publicized now, if that person sees her discussing marriage with the Marquis of Changping and makes a fuss, I am afraid that our entire Weiguo Mansion will All the girls must be dragged down."

"So you just want Lan'er to replace Hui'er?" Shen Lingchang looked at her with anger on his face, and said repeatedly: "It's absurd, how can we hide this kind of sister marriage. Besides, Hui'er, who they like , but also because she is a legitimate daughter."

In the end, Shen Lingchang still understood, the Marquis of Changping was able to discuss marriage with his family, and his family was on top.If you let the concubine marry in the past, it would be a blatant slap in the face.

"Isn't it enough for Lan'er to be recorded under the wife's name? As long as the ancestral hall is opened, Lan'er will be born as a descendant. Didn't you promise, sir?" Aunt Han asked with tears in her eyes.

It was indeed Shen Lingchang who agreed to record Shen Lan as a descendant, but the Chen family was always reluctant, so this matter was left on.

Now that Aunt Han mentioned it again, Shen Lingchang felt a little hesitant.In fact, he also knew that paper could not contain fire, but for some reason, Aunt Han's words were like a small drum, echoing in his heart all the time.Shen Lingchang frowned, waved his hand, and signaled her to go out.

A few days later, the Shen family handed the horoscope to the Changping Marquis Mansion as promised.Just because of the low profile, so far, only two know about it.Even Chen's aunt didn't get any news.

And Shen Hui became more and more anxious, until now, Shen Changle has not given her an answer.But for some reason, she was always restless.The marriage contract of Changping Marquis Mansion seems to have come too soon.

And Shen Changle got the news from Shen Ruan in one afternoon.

"I said how this Changping Hou's mansion is like an old house on fire, looking for a wife for his son. It turned out that something like this happened," Shen Ruan said with disdain on his face. He has been inquiring these days, but these Hou The rules of the government are strict, so you can't inquire easily.

However, the Hou Mansion has strict rules and regulations, but it does not mean that other people's mouths are also strict.

The reason why the Changping Hou Mansion was so anxious to find a wife for Feng Youfeng was because he made a girl's belly big.It is said that it was a commoner girl whose family owned a tofu shop in the west of the city, and that girl was a well-known tofu beauty in that area.Therefore, people would often make excuses to tease her, and Feng Youfeng's acquaintance with this girl was like that written in all bad proverbs, in one day, a boy from an official family passing by by chance met a hooligan to tease that beautiful girl.

So in desperation, he came to the rescue.And in the back and forth, almost needless to say, everyone knows the direction of the story.But what Feng Youfeng didn't expect was that the girl was not a good person, she was pregnant.

And soon her parents found the Changping Houfu and demanded that the Houfu be responsible.Who is Mrs. Changping Hou, how could she allow such an ant-like figure to threaten her.So without even thinking about it, she beat him out.

It's just that Mrs. Changping Hou was born in a noble family, married well, and has been dealing with noble ladies all her life.Although this circle is full of blood and blood, what everyone pays attention to is that even if they hate you behind their backs and want to get rid of you, they will still smile on the surface.

Unexpectedly, the parents of this tofu Xishi brought their daughter to the Changping Hou Mansion directly, and threatened that if the Changping Hou Mansion really didn't recognize the child.Then let your daughter slam her head to death at the gate of his house, and then let everyone in the capital know how the son of the Changping Hou Mansion ruined a girl from an innocent family, and how the entire Changping Hou Mansion cruelly raped a woman. Cornered.

The family even had pleadings ready.

It is said that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, and a family who runs a tofu shop can get involved with the noble Hou Mansion as long as they try their best. Do you think they will give up?
What's more, when Feng Youfeng, who received the news, came back, he saw the girl he loved, dressed in white, kneeling at the door, and beside her were her distraught parents.The original vows of eternal love are still in my heart, seeing her so lonely again, the desire to protect Feng Youfeng's heart can be like a tide, endless.

So he knelt in front of his parents and begged, wanting to bring Miss Xi Shi into the mansion.

Mrs. Changping Hou wanted face all her life, but she never expected to be trampled in the face by such a family.She was naturally unwilling, but Feng Youfeng also made up his mind to marry Miss Xi Shi.

What's more, there were her parents shouting at the door, if this really caused a girl to bump her head to death at the door of the house, I'm afraid that the whole Changping Hou Mansion would become the laughing stock of the capital.

Moreover, although this Tofu Xi Shi said she was born in a bad family, she was also a pure and innocent civilian woman. If she really died, her parents would go to Shuntian Mansion to file a complaint.

So in the end, the Marquis of Changping quickly searched the whole city for his daughter-in-law.

When Shen Hui heard the news, her eyes just went dark.Because she knew that her horoscope had been sent to the Marquis of Changping.

"No, their family is cheating on the marriage, we can't just let it go, big sister can't be wronged like this," Shen Changle looked at Shen Hui's pale face, and a sense of justice surged in his heart.

Shen Ruan stood beside her, frowning, as if dissatisfied with what she said.Although he was also very angry in his heart, in his opinion, this was the matter of the second wife and had nothing to do with them.Even if they had to deal with it, it should be the second uncle and second aunt.

"I'll tell my grandmother about it. My second uncle will definitely not give up easily because of this. In his opinion, maybe it's not a big deal at all. But second brother, it's not okay, it's really not okay," Shen Chang Le's voice was very anxious, and Shen Hui, who was opposite, heard her words, and her gray face also improved because of her words.

Yes, there is also a grandmother in this family, and his father is most afraid of the grandmother, as long as the grandmother speaks, he will definitely let go.

"However, grandma may not be able to..." Shen Ruan couldn't help reminding
Shen Changle smiled lightly, and said, "Don't worry, grandma likes Big Sister very much, and she will make decisions for Big Sister."

Just like Shen Changle said, after hearing this, the old lady was silent for a while, but finally nodded.Let them all go back first, she will figure it out.

Just as they were about to leave, Shen Hui suddenly knelt down, kowtowed three times to the old lady, and said in a trembling voice, "Granddaughter thank you to grandma."

The old lady looked at the little girls on the ground gently. The girls of the Shen family were all raised by her.So, she knows who has what kind of temperament, and she also knows what Shen Hui will be like.At the beginning, Chen was looked after by the old lady for Shen Lingchang, but he didn't know how to cherish it. Over the years, he has been indebted to their mother and daughter.

And that night, Shen Lingchang was called to the old lady's yard, and Shen Lingcheng was naturally there.

It's just that after the old lady calmly told about the mess in Changping Hou Mansion, Shen Lingchang had a pale face and didn't speak for a long time.The old lady sneered in her heart, thinking that he was reluctant to part with this marriage, "Tell me, is this rich marriage or your daughter important?"

But Shen Lingchang still didn't speak.

Shen Lingcheng watched from the side, afraid that he would offend the old lady, so he said softly: "Second brother, mother is asking you something."

But in the end, Shen Lingchang said something that no one would have thought of.

"I, I sent Sister Lan's birthday horoscope."

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the room, and even Shen Lingcheng showed a surprised expression.

In the end, it was the old lady above who suddenly let out a series of chuckles.Finally she shook her head, looked at Shen Lingchang and said, "Second brother, you have done a good deed over the years."
