Chapter 420: You Really Won't Take a Concubine?

"When did you arrive?"

Qiao Sheng stared at Qiao Xuehua and asked.

Qiao Xuehua replied to her, "Older Brother Song just arrived not long ago, and Father and Mother had me come find you; they don't know whether to accept Older Brother Song's marriage proposal."

Upon learning that was the case.

Qiao Sheng then asked, "And Third Sister—"

She hadn't finished speaking.

Qiao Xuehua continued, "Third Sister's face is red, she doesn't know what to say; she likes Older Brother Song, without a doubt she wants to marry him. But Father and Mother are a bit worried, afraid she won't do well after marrying over there…"

Qiao Sheng understood why they thought that.

Qiao Sheng came to their senses.

Qiao Sheng said, "Let's go."

Qiao Xuehua had arrived by carriage, so Qiao Sheng didn't have anyone prepare a carriage and just got into the same carriage she was in.

Today, An Shi and An Er were responsible for protecting Qiao Sheng; as soon as they left, they followed behind.

When they arrived at Qiao's Snack Stall.

The stall was closed.

Qiao Sheng and the others knocked on the door for a short while, and Lan Yue Niang came to open it.

They looked around.

Qiao Sheng didn't see Qiao Hushui or Song Bei Ting and asked, "Mother, Father, where is Older Brother Song?"

Lan Yue Niang told Qiao Sheng truthfully, "They're in the rear courtyard; Older Brother Song's older brother, Song Bei Cheng, has also arrived; he hasn't been here long."

Older Brother Song's older brother also came?

Qiao Sheng had never met his older brother before.

She asked Lan Yue Niang what his older brother was like.

Qiao Sheng strode to the rear courtyard, Qiao Xuehua followed behind, and Lan Yue Niang closed the shop door before heading to the rear courtyard.

They hadn't yet entered the rear courtyard's sitting room.

Qiao Sheng then heard a warm male voice from inside: "Uncle Qiao, my younger brother sincerely wants to marry your daughter Lan Hua; rest assured he won't take a concubine."

In ancient times, few wealthy families refrained from taking concubines.

If Song Bei Ting could really do that, it would be not bad.

Of course, the premise is that he is truly sincere.

Qiao Sheng walked in.

Qiao Xuehua followed behind.

Qiao Hushui immediately introduced Song Bei Cheng.

"Hello."

Song Bei Cheng today wore a moon-white robe, his whole bearing exuding an elegance ordinary people lack.

Qiao Sheng was quite surprised; he didn't look like someone who runs a pawnshop at all.

She also didn't know that Song Bei Cheng was the head of Bei Lou.

If she knew.

She would probably be even more surprised.

"Hello."

Qiao Sheng also smiled and greeted him.

Sit down.

Qiao Sheng, in response to what Song Bei Cheng had just said, asked Song Bei Ting, "Song Bei Ting, you really won't take a concubine?"

"Yes!"

Song Bei Ting answered without any hesitation.

He also couldn't say exactly when he started liking Qiao Lanhua; after returning to the Imperial Capital, he often thought of her and had originally planned to go to Wu Tong Zhen to see her.

Who would have thought.

They had moved to the Imperial Capital.

Upon seeing Qiao Lanhua.

Song Bei Ting was very happy in his heart.

But.

He didn't dare to overdo it, first fearing he would scare Qiao Lanhua, and second fearing she would reject him.

Until.

Only after Qiao Xuehua said that did he act.

Qiao Sheng immediately asked, "If I say if, if my third sister only gives birth to daughters, would you also not take a concubine?"

Qiao Lanhua's expression paused.

She also wanted to know, so she said nothing.

Song Bei Ting said, "Our family isn't lacking sons; we have my older brother to carry on the lineage, so no son is fine. Moreover, compared to sons, I prefer daughters; daughters are more well-behaved than sons."

He truly thinks that way.

Especially after seeing his older brother's troublesome child.

Qiao Lanhua has a gentle disposition, comparable to the original Qiao Lihua.

Qiao Sheng undoubtedly worries about her.

She said to Qiao Lanhua, "Sanmei, let's go out and chat a bit."
