Chapter 183

This left Sheng Hong instantly in a state of utter confusion!

Sheng Changbai, Sheng Sheng Sheng Rulan, and the others were equally shocked.

【190】 Jia Hui: Stop arguing, I want all three sisters! (3)

Sheng Sheng Sheng Hualan is, after all, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Sheng family.

She is the daughter born to Sheng Hong and his legal wife, Lady Wang, during their newlywed days.

Thus, she has been the apple of her parents' eyes since childhood, and she was raised by Old Madam Sheng for a period when she was young; she is Old Madam Sheng's most cherished eldest granddaughter.

Sheng Sheng Hualan can be called a standard refined young lady of a noble house: intelligent, graceful, generous, virtuous, and kind.

Sheng Hong's expression darkened slightly, and he said with mild anger, "What nonsense are you spouting? Sheng Sheng Hualan is already betrothed to Yuan Yuan Yuan Wenshao, the second young master of the Zhongqin Earl's Mansion."

Wang Wang Wang Ruofu also flared up; she was not one to swallow her pride: "Me spouting nonsense? Hmph, yesterday, just when you had finished driving away Xiao Die, the Yuan family of the Zhongqin Earl's Mansion specifically came to deliver the betrothal gifts for our Sheng Sheng Hualan. Yet, the Earl and his wife did not come to our mansion in person to present the gifts; they only sent their eldest son, Yuan Yuan Yuan Wenchun, and his wife. This had already made me very dissatisfied."

Jia Hui and the others were all taken aback upon hearing this.

They had not expected such hidden circumstances!

If it were truly as Wang Wang Wang Ruofu said.

Wang Wang Wang Ruofu indeed had reason to be dissatisfied.

"Du Du Changfeng was young and ignorant, and he competed in pitch-pot with the guest Bai Ye, nearly losing the betrothal geese. If it hadn't been for Minglan, who is proficient in pitch-pot, stepping forward to defeat Bai Ye, the betrothal gifts for Sheng Sheng Hualan would not have been saved."

"That Yuan family is no good; they are coveting our family's dowry!"

Following this, Wang Wang Wang Ruofu continued to speak with incomparable resentment.

She ranted frantically.

"Rather than marrying this Earl's son, it would be better to be a concubine for the Peerless Earl... That second young master of the Zhongqin Earl's Mansion, Yuan Yuan Yuan Wenshao, is just a second-generation wastrel; no matter what, he can't even inherit a title!"

"What is the use of marrying such a person? It would be better to marry the Earl himself!"

What she said seemed to make a great deal of sense.

Indeed.

The second young master, Yuan Yuan Yuan Wenshao, is neither scholarly nor skilled in martial arts, and crucially, he is not the legitimate eldest son.

Sheng Sheng Hualan marrying him as his legal wife would actually result in her gaining nothing.

Moreover, in the original story, after Sheng Sheng Hualan married him.

She did not live well.

She was devoted to her husband, and although she was liked by her father-in-law, the Zhongqin Earl, her mother-in-law never liked her, constantly making things difficult for her and scheming against her dowry!

It was normal for Wang Wang Wang Ruofu to be dissatisfied and have complaints.

And as Wang Wang Wang Ruofu said.

Being a concubine to an Earl with a limitless future and great power.

Is far better than marrying the second son of an Earl who cannot inherit the title or the majority of the family property.

Take their own family's situation, for example.

Although Lin Lin Lin Qinshuang is a concubine.

As long as she is favored by the Master, or her maiden family is powerful, she can still ride roughshod over the legal wife and throw her weight around.

At this moment, Wang Wang Wang Ruofu was thinking to herself: "I heard that Jia Hui's legal wife's family is just Love Love Like ours, a family of fifth-rank officials, and their status is even lower. Besides, with me as her mother to back her up, even if my daughter marries over there as a concubine, she won't be afraid of being bullied by the Qin woman."

She did not Love Love Like the Yuan family.

The more she thought about it, the more sense it made.

As for why she was pitting the eldest daughter and second daughter against each other.

Naturally, it was because the eldest daughter's marriage was imminent.

If she didn't stop it now, she would just have to marry over there.

The second daughter was still young, and there was plenty of time to choose another good husband!

Sheng Sheng Rulan, however, was less understanding; sharing her mother's temper, she became angry: "Mother, you've gone too far! It was clearly me who took a fancy to him first! I won't have it! I want to marry the Earl!"

"Are you trying to be the death of your mother? You're actually fighting with your own elder sister for a man?!"

Seeing that her daughter did not understand her good intentions, the simple-minded Wang Wang Wang Ruofu immediately flew into a rage.

"You're being unreasonable! It's clearly you who is snatching him!"

"You're the one snatching!"

The mother and daughter actually started arguing in public!

The onlookers were truly dumbfounded!

What kind of bizarre mother and daughter were they!

Sheng Hong was furious to the point of death.

Because Jia Hui and the two Gaos.

These guests were all still present!

This foolish woman!

To actually argue about these things in public!

If you are dissatisfied with the Zhongqin Earl's Mansion, fine!

But couldn't you discuss it in private!

To say such things in public!

It would certainly spread!

The Yuan family would be thoroughly offended, and there would be no turning back!

Sheng Hong looked at the strange expressions on the faces of Gao Hu and the other.

He knew that the marriage between Sheng Sheng Hualan and the Yuan family was finished.

After all.

Once it spreads.

That the matriarch of their Sheng family looks down on the Yuan family and their second son.

If the Yuan family has any shred of dignity, they would never go through with the marriage!

It wouldn't be their Sheng family taking the initiative to break the engagement.

It would be the Yuan family breaking it!

Unless their Sheng family groveled and offered an apology!

That would make the Sheng family look even more pathetic.

And even more shameful!

And then, if the daughter married over there, she would certainly be mistreated!

For the above reasons.

Sheng Hong was simply furious at Wang Wang Wang Ruofu, this wife of his who was sharp-tongued, quick to confront anyone, hot-tempered, and simple-minded!

Consequently.

"You foolish woman!"

"Who are you calling foolish!"

Wang Wang Wang Ruofu was enraged!

He pulled a long face.

Ignoring her.

He turned instead with a mournful face and pulled Jia Hui to the side, so the two Gaos wouldn't hear: "Peerless Earl, our family's eldest legitimate daughter Sheng Sheng Hualan, the second legitimate daughter, the fifth young lady Sheng Sheng Rulan, and the youngest daughter Minglan—please, just choose one."

He, too, had been driven to his wit's end by his wife and second daughter!

One insisted on marrying Jia Hui.

The other insisted that her eldest daughter must marry Jia Hui.

It had become such a mess.

Today, it was impossible not to marry one of them off.

Otherwise, their Sheng family would become a laughingstock.
