In order to fill the huge deficit of her family, the wife of the Earl of Jianchang went to Tongzhou specifically to ask for the marriage of her son with Wen Xiaoman, the goddess of wealth.
Their family has status and one has wealth, so marrying into each other is a win-win situation for both sides. This is especially true since the Wen family didn't try hard to curry favor with anyone, but rather it was the Jianchang Earl's Mansion who came to them and sincerely proposed marriage.
The head of the Wen family was very tempted by this. After examining the prince of the Jianchang Marquis's Mansion and confirming that although he did not have any great abilities, he also did not have any major problems, he analyzed the pros and cons of this marriage to Wen Xiaoman in detail.
After hearing this, Wen Xiaoman felt that this marriage was possible, so the two families made the engagement.
However, what the Wen family did not expect was that the wife of the Earl of Jianchang spoke better than she sang, but her actions were so disgusting and despicable that it made people feel as if they had swallowed a hundred live flies.
On the day when Wen Xiaoman and her son got married, she actually arranged for her niece from her mother's side and Wen Xiaoman to enter the house at the same time.
When the Wen family members who were accompanying the bride saw another wedding sedan coming in at the same time, their faces were filled with confusion.
Their first thought was, could it be that this was someone's wedding sedan that went to the wrong door?
The second thought was, could it be that the Jianchang Earl’s Mansion was holding weddings for both his son and daughter at the same time?
The reason for thinking this way is that the Prince of Jianchang has a younger sister who is one and a half years younger than him and is now of marriageable age.
As for whether it was possible that the Earl of Jianchang was marrying wives for both of his sons at the same time, the Wen family immediately ruled out this possibility, considering that the Earl of Jianchang's wife only had one biological son, the Earl of Jianchang's son.
After all, based on their understanding of the wife of the Earl of Jianchang, she would never allow anyone to step on her son, the Crown Prince, to gain attention.
But soon, the Wen family discovered that their guess was completely wrong.
This wedding sedan, which they suspected had gone into the wrong house, not only entered the Jianchang Earl's Mansion smoothly at the same time as their Wen Xiaoman's wedding sedan, but also, in front of the guests' incredulous and shocked eyes, their new son-in-law personally lifted the curtain of the sedan and gently and carefully took out a young girl who was wearing the same bright red wedding dress as Wen Xiaoman.
The Wen family members were collectively petrified, and when they finally reacted, their faces were filled with anger.
Just at this moment, Wen Xiaoman was also pulled out of the sedan chair by the Prince of Jianchang, who did not hide his disgust for her.
Wen Xiaoman staggered as he pulled her, and she finally managed to stand beside him. However, his expression became even uglier, as if he was disgusted with Wen Xiaoman for causing him trouble and losing face.
Wen Xiaoman's younger brother Wen Yuan was young and hot-headed. He rushed over in two steps and tore off his sister's red veil.
The wife of the Earl of Jianchang was about to signal to her son to at least restrain himself in front of Wen Xiaoman's family, but before she could make a move, Wen Yuan was already trembling all over and pointing at the Earl of Jianchang, cursing, "Beast!"
He grabbed Wen Xiaoman's hand and said, "Sister, let's not get married! Their family actually wants to marry two brides at the same time. They are committing marriage fraud. I'm going to sue them at the government office!"
The young boy was only eleven years old. Seeing his future brother-in-law and his family humiliating his beloved sister in this way, he was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he couldn't control his tears.
Wen Xiaoman followed the direction of his finger and soon saw the woman in red standing on the other side of the Prince of Jianchang.
She patted her brother's head, signaling him to calm down, then looked at the wife of the Earl of Jianchang calmly, "Madam, may I know who this is?"
The wife of the Marquis of Jianchang grabbed Wen Xiaoman's hand, her smile as warm and kind as ever. "Xiaoman, it's not that the Marquis's family is trying to embarrass you, it's... Oh, this matter really can't be discussed in detail in public. Besides, it's already the auspicious time, and it would be unlucky to miss it. Why don't we pay our respects first, and then mother can talk to you in detail in private."
Wen Xiaoman smiled faintly and pulled her hand back, "Madam, you are joking. If this matter is not explained clearly, I am afraid that this Tang Xiaoman will not be able to worship."
Without the Wen family knowing anything, a mysterious woman appeared in the Jianchang Marquis's mansion with her, and the attitude of the Jianchang Marquis's son towards her just now clearly showed that he disliked her.
The marriage hasn't even taken place yet, and their family dares to do such a thing to her. What will happen when the marriage really takes place?
Wen Xiaoman was called the female Tao Zhu by her grandfather, which made her a strong woman in the business world. And how could a girl who could achieve success in the business world in a feudal society where men were respected be the kind of ignorant girl who was easily influenced and allowed to be manipulated by others?
Lady Jianchang never expected that Wen Xiaoman, a young girl, would dare to make such a decision on her own regarding her lifelong affairs.
There is also Wen Xiaoman's younger brother Wen Yuan. This bastard actually tore off Wen Xiaoman's veil and threatened that the marriage would not take place and that their Wen family would sue the Jianchang Earl's Mansion for marriage fraud.
What is going on?
You know, although the Jianchang Marquis' Mansion was attracted by the Wen family's money, the Wen family was also attracted by the Jianchang Marquis' noble status.
In the eyes of the Marquis of Jianchang and his wife and their beloved son, a nobleman in poverty is still a nobleman. A merchant girl like Wen Xiaoman, no matter how much dowry she brings or how good she is at making money, is still marrying above their station by marrying into the Marquis of Jianchang's mansion!
The Prince of Jianchang felt very wronged that he had to marry a merchant girl who was full of money. The wife of the Earl of Jianchang also felt that her son was very wronged, but she could not help but let her son suffer this injustice.
It just so happened that Earl Jianchang had a younger sister whose family was also in financial difficulty and who could not afford a generous dowry for her daughter. The two families hit it off and immediately decided to let Earl Jianchang's son marry two wives at the same time.
Of course, they won’t say this to others.
They planned it very carefully.
If the young men from the Wen family who came to escort the bride did not dare to act up and let them do this in a confused manner, then they would tell others that the cousin of the Prince of Jianchang was the principal wife and the girl from the Wen family was the concubine.
If the young people from the Wen family who came to escort the bride made a fuss and took out the marriage certificate to question them in front of the guests, they would announce to the public that Wen Xiaoman was the legal wife and the cousin of the Prince of Jianchang was the concubine.
Anyway, the Wen family also wanted to marry into the Jianchang Marquis's Mansion. The Jianchang Marquis's family felt that since they had something to ask for, they would definitely not dare to directly ruin the marriage. At most, they would only help Wen Xiaoman and the Jianchang Marquis's son's younger cousin to fight for status.
As for status, the Jianchang Earl's family felt that if they could not fight for the younger cousin of the Jianchang Earl's son, then it would not matter even if they gave it to Wen Xiaoman temporarily.
Anyway, the affection of their husbands and parents-in-law is not determined by status. They are very confident. Not only do they think that the Wen family will definitely compromise, but they also think that once Wen Xiaoman comes into the family, they will definitely have plenty of ways to control her, a mere merchant girl.
