Chapter 274

At this moment, the midwife.

Was also met by Jia Hui's people.

And hurried to Wei Shuyi's room to assist with the birth.

Perhaps because Hua Tuo's help was significant.

The labor went very smoothly.

The specific time required for childbirth varies from person to person; generally, a first-time mother has a longer labor, which can take about twelve hours to complete a normal delivery, and some even take between sixteen and twenty-four hours!

But Wei Shuyi was on her second child.

So it took much less time.

Yet it still took a few hours.

Naturally, Jia Hui and his group could not just wait around for several hours.

So after staying at the Sheng family for a while.

He intended to take his leave with Er Gao.

Chief Sheng Hong recalled his own purpose.

The apology banquet was the first.

Marrying off his least favored young daughter, Minglan, to Jia Hui as a concubine was the second.

In fact, it was the primary purpose.

However, the timing was truly unfortunate.

So the apology banquet was postponed to another time.

But the second matter.

He had to settle it immediately to avoid any complications.

After all, Jia Hui was now a Marquis!

Surely countless noble families would want to marry their daughters to him.

Even as a concubine, there would be many willing to do so.

Do you not see that Xu Lingyi is just like that?

After Xu Lingyi later married the concubine-born daughter Luo Shiniang as his wife.

And Qiao Lianfang, the legitimate eldest daughter of a Duke's mansion, was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and held a noble status. Although she was beautiful and talented, she was arrogant and ruthless. She was willing to become a concubine for Xu Lingyi, throwing herself at him like a moth to a flame.

If even a Duke's legitimate daughter is like this.

He, Chief Sheng Hong, is merely a fifth-rank official, and she is just a concubine-born daughter.

Marrying Jia Hui, a Marquis with great power and a limitless future, is not a problem at all.

Therefore.

Chief Sheng Hong, who thought very highly of Jia Hui, immediately took the opportunity before Jia Hui left to lay his cards on the table:

"My Lord Marquis."

"I intend to marry my young daughter, that is, the daughter of the Wei concubine just now, Minglan, to you as a concubine. What do you think?"

After speaking.

He still looked worried, fearing that Jia Hui would refuse!

He wanted to send his daughter for a marriage alliance.

But he also had to see if Jia Hui was willing and if he even liked her!

Hearing him say this.

The Sheng family's Wang Ruofu, the mother and daughter Rulan, and the eldest young master Sheng Changbai were all very shocked!

Although Er Gao was surprised, he also felt it was quite normal.

Gao Hu did not know that his only legitimate daughter also wanted to marry Jia Hui as a concubine.

Gao Sheng, on the other hand, thought regretfully: "It's a pity I don't have a daughter, otherwise even my legitimate daughter would definitely marry this Jia Hui."

Everyone looked at Jia Hui.

Sitting at the head of the guest seats.

Jia Hui held a cup of tea in his hand and pondered for a moment.

He did not rush to express his stance.

Inside, he found it amusing: "Proactively sending the female lead to me as a concubine? I'd be a fool to refuse."

But he had to act reserved.

Actually, the first time I heard about taking Chief Sheng Hong's daughter Sheng Minglan as a concubine, I refused, because you can't just tell me to take a concubine and I'll go do it immediately.

First, I have to test it, because I don't want that after using her, this concubine would go "Duang"—very bright, very soft, and under all kinds of suppression, she would still be self-reliant, observing the world carefully, and relying on her own intelligence, forbearance, and her grandmother's cultivation and guidance, she would go from being neglected and bullied at home to becoming a pivotal figure influencing the family's prosperity, completing the inspirational life path from a sheltered girl to a Marquis's concubine. If the audience saw this, they would definitely scold me, proving that such a concubine is fake... 0

Later, I verified that this young daughter of the Sheng family is indeed a virtuous wife and mother. I used her for about a month, and it felt pretty good. Later, when I used her, I also asked them not to add special effects, because I want the audience to see that after I use her, she looks like this, and after you use her, she will also look like this!

Jia Hui inexplicably remembered the classic commercial lines for Bawang shampoo by a certain international kung fu superstar.

Jia Hui was putting on an act.

Only Cheng Yu saw that his lord was putting on an act again!

It turns out.

His lord is not just an idol, but also a master of acting!

Movie star level!

He really is a match for that Miss Cheng Si from earlier.

For some reason.

Cheng Yu inexplicably thought of Miss Cheng Si.

Chief Sheng Hong was even more anxious.

Thinking he had failed.

He was suddenly panicked!

"Father, you really are something."

"My Lord Marquis, but you are the Wushuang Marquis, how could a mere concubine-born daughter be worthy?"

Rulan opened her mouth at this time to chide her father.

Chief Sheng Hong was dazed and subconsciously nodded in agreement: "What you say is true, what else then?"

"Of course, I should be the one to marry over!"

Said the headstrong, spoiled, and straightforward Rulan!

Chief Sheng Hong was instantly speechless!

Good heavens!

You, as the older sister, are actually fighting your own younger sister for a man?

And fighting to be a concubine for someone?

Forgive me for not being able to understand!

Chief Sheng Hong thought to himself.

"Rulan, what nonsense are you spouting!"

At this moment, Wang Ruofu, the legitimate head wife, scolded her daughter!

Chief Sheng Hong looked pleasantly surprised, thinking that his head wife had finally come to the same conclusion as him!

However.

The next moment!

The smile on his face instantly froze!

"How can you fight your older sister for a man?"

"In my opinion, it would be more appropriate for your older sister Hualan to marry the Marquis!"

Said Wang Ruofu, who had the same straightforward temper as her younger daughter Rulan, in a loud voice!
