"As long as Niaoniao is married to him as his woman, we will be in-laws, and he won't be able to speak ill of our family anymore."

Grandmother Cheng called her by her nickname affectionately.

But her words were very cold; this was selling her granddaughter.

Xiao Yuanyi, wearing deep red armor, in military attire, with a crown, looking heroic, instantly changed color: "No! How can this be!"

Cheng Shi, who loved his daughter very much, also shook his head immediately: "I will not sacrifice my daughter to be a concubine for someone!"

Grandmother Cheng was dissatisfied that her solution was rejected:

"What do you two mean."

"Could I be harming him?"

"That is the high and mighty Wushuang Marquis, thousands of times stronger than our Cheng family; how many families wish they could marry their daughters to him as concubines but don't have the chance, yet you two are picking and choosing, are you worthy!"

These words were very unpleasant to hear.

But Cheng Cheng, Cheng Zhi, and the other brothers all felt it made a lot of sense.

An eighth or ninth-rank family marrying a Marquis as a concubine.

That was definitely climbing high!

Even those with higher ranks than them didn't necessarily have this opportunity.

"This is a good thing, if Niaoniao can be married to the Wushuang Marquis as a concubine, our Cheng family will not only be able to turn danger into safety but also be blessed by misfortune!"

"I heard that when the Wushuang Marquis was a Viscount, he gave 50,000 taels of betrothal gifts to the Qin woman of the fifth-rank Master Qin!"

"We are concubines, of course, it won't be that high, but at least there should be a few hundred taels, right?"

Cheng Cheng said excitedly.

A few hundred taels was a huge sum in their Cheng family!

"Yes, big brother, sister-in-law, you must prioritize the big picture!"

Cheng Zhi was also blinded by profit.

Said excitedly.

At this moment.

Grandmother Cheng, the Ge couple, and this whole family of Cheng Zhi all stood in line clearly!

Cheng Yang and Sang Shunhua wanted to speak, but couldn't really get a word in.

After all, it was hard for them to talk back to their elders, parents, and husbands.

Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi immediately became the minority.

"No."

Xiao Yuanyi still refused with a clear attitude.

Grandmother Cheng thought of a solution to solve the crisis, and there were rich betrothal gifts, and the future glory and wealth of the family, and she could also drive away Cheng Shaoshang, who was an eyesore; this was killing many birds with one stone.

The more she thought about it, the more excited and thrilled she became, so she glared at this eldest daughter-in-law whom she had always disliked: "You say no, fine, then you come up with a way to solve this matter!"

"Otherwise, you are the sinner of our Cheng family!"

"Making me, this old woman, and your brothers and the whole family have a hard time, being pointed at and scolded for a lifetime!"

"Oh, master, I am so miserable, you died early; if you were still alive, you would probably have been angered to death by these unfilial children! Even if you died, you would be angered to the point of having no peace underground! I don't want to live anymore!"

Crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself.

Directly throwing the whole family into chaos.

The Ge clan and others were busy acting as filial children and daughters-in-law to comfort her.

Cheng Shi was also panicked, "Mother."

Xiao Yuanyi was also confused!

Asking her to think of a way.

What way could she have?

Could it be that she should sacrifice her looks and chastity and recommend herself to the pillow?

Xiao Yuanyi had a splitting headache.

Thinking and thinking.

But found she had no way at all!

This female general, who could kill on the battlefield, was now somewhat helpless and pitiful at home.

Seeing this scene!

Cheng Shaoshang, who had been lying down, sighed in her heart and then said: "I do!"

"......"

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

"Say no more, I am willing to marry the Wushuang Marquis as a concubine."

Cheng Shaoshang's weak voice followed.

"Great!"

Grandmother Cheng and the Ge clan were both happy.

Seeing them like this, Cheng Shaoshang said indifferently: "But Grandmother, don't be happy too early."

"Even if I am willing, it depends on whether he likes me!"

These words made the joy on their faces freeze instantly.

It really was like that!

"No matter what, we have to try."

Third brother Cheng Zhi said.

This made Grandmother Cheng and the Ge clan active again: "Yes, yes, how do you know if it will work if you don't try?"

"Cheng Shi, you two, hurry up!"

"Go to the Jia mansion for me!"

"You must persuade the Wushuang Marquis to agree to take Niaoniao as a concubine."

"Otherwise, you are the sinners of the Cheng family!"

Grandmother Cheng was good at shifting blame!

Good heavens!

Cheng Shi and his wife were clearly the only contributors who made the Cheng family decent from being poor.

They, the grandmother, and the second and third brothers were all sponging off them and sitting back and enjoying the fruits.

Their daughter was also abused by you all these years.

Who were we working hard outside for?

And yet we became the sinners?

Xiao Yuanyi was furious!

Xiao Yuanyi's sworn sister Qing Cong was even more angry and scolded: "You are too much!"

"This is our family business, it's not your turn to manage."

However, they were easily retorted by the Ge clan and others.

Seeing this.

Cheng Shi, as the pillar of the family, suddenly aged a few years, and his back bent a bit.

"I know!"

When he said this sentence!

He didn't dare to look at his daughter's gaze at all.

Although she was the one who agreed first.

Cheng Shi said with full guilt.

For the sake of the whole family!

For the sake of the family's future!

He could only do this!
