501: Lord Wang's Decision

u8 reading network

Wang Feng was a little scared when he heard what the Shen family said. In fact, he knew that if what happened today was really spread, he would not benefit much. He might as well accept Shen Zhu. He had taken a fancy to Shen Zhu before. Although this woman was not absolutely beautiful, she had a unique charm. Especially when he recalled the bone-melting and soul-stirring feeling just now, he felt that it would not be a loss to accept her. As long as she was not his legal wife, he could still give her the position of a concubine.

Wang Feng had a good idea, but he didn’t think about whether the Shen family would agree.

Shen Zhu is a good girl. Although she grew up in the countryside, she is beautiful and can read and write. Although her younger brother Shen Ziju is only a Hanlin, he has a bright future and has already arranged a marriage with the Shangshu's daughter. The fourth brother Shen Zian is now the son-in-law of the Loyal Marquis's Mansion and the adoptive father of the eldest prince. The emperor has to give him some face. How could such a girl be allowed to be a concubine? It's simply a dream!

The Shen family was all shaking with anger, but Wang Feng's status was there, so no matter how angry they were, they didn't dare to scold him directly.

Shen Zhu was stunned for a moment and started crying again.

"Father, mother, please let me die! I would rather die than be someone's concubine! I am the sister of a Hanlin scholar. My fourth brother and his wife saved the prince and were rewarded by the emperor! Our Shen family is the in-laws of the Marquis of Loyalty! How can I be someone's concubine?! I can give up my reputation, but do I have to ruin my family's reputation as well?! I might as well just die!"

As Shen Zhu spoke, he made a move to struggle and bang his head against the wall, but was held tightly back by Shen Zhang.

Shen Zhang said loudly: "Daughter! Don't die! Your parents will take you to the emperor to complain and let him judge for us! At worst, we will both die together!"

"Mom, sister, leave this matter to me."

Shen Ziju was also very angry. He thought that although he was only a Hanlin and his official position was not very high, anyone could see that as long as he was given time, he would be able to rise rapidly. His future was limitless, and it was very unlikely that he would be the prime minister in the future. In addition, he had the connections of Shen Zian and Su Zhi, so now all officials, whether they were higher or lower in rank than him, were very courteous to him. Now Wang Feng had insulted his sister, and he didn't even apologize. Instead of marrying Zhu'er in a formal ceremony, he actually said that he would take her as a concubine. This was simply a slap in his face!

Shen Ziju thought that if his sister became a concubine, even if she was the concubine of the noble concubine's brother, no matter how high her status was or how favored she was, it would still affect his reputation in the future. In the future, when people mentioned him, they would say that he had a sister who was a concubine! Some people might even say that he sold his sister for fame!

No matter how much Shen Ziju wants to climb up the ladder, he will never joke about his own reputation!

Shen Youfu yelled at Shen Zian angrily, "Zi'an! Did you hear that? This man actually wants your sister to be his concubine? He really treats our Shen family as soft persimmons and squeezes them whenever he wants! Aren't you very capable now? Why don't you say something! If you have the guts, go and fight your father, but you should help your sister!"

Shen Zhang also begged Su Zhi, saying sadly: "Zi'an's wife, Zhu'er is Zi'an's only sister, and she has been wronged now. She has been despised to this extent, and it happened in your family. You are the eldest daughter of the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion, and the stepmother of the eldest prince. You have to help say something, you don't want to have a sister-in-law as a concubine, do you? You don't want Zhu'er to die in the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion like this, do you?"

After Shen Zhang begged Su Zhi, she begged Madam Mu, with hidden threats in her words. She didn't believe that they would allow things to go on like this, unless they had no face left.

Wang Feng looked at the Shen family. With a frown on his face, he finally realized that Shen Zhu was not one of those ordinary girls he usually bullied. She had many backers behind her. If he could suppress Shen Ziju, then he couldn't afford to offend Shen Zian and his wife and the Loyalty Marquis Mansion. At that time, the emperor and the prime minister would definitely not stand on his side.

Wang Feng thought that if his father knew about this, he would definitely punish him severely, and the best outcome would be for him to marry Shen Zhu.

Wang Feng looked at Shen Zhu and found that her face was all red from crying and she had lost all her usual beauty. He immediately lost all interest in her and was very unwilling to marry such a woman.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi looked at each other, neither of them spoke. Wang Feng was not a good person, and he was the brother of the imperial concubine. It might not be a good thing for Shen Zhu to marry him, or for the entire Shen family. But for a woman who had lost her virginity, marrying him was the best outcome in the eyes of most people.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi could not say that they would not let Shen Zhu marry Wang Feng, nor could they say that they would make the decision for Wang Feng to marry Shen Zhu. They could only maintain a neutral attitude.

Madam Mu knew the dilemma of her daughter and son-in-law, and said, "You all should leave here with me first. I will ask Lord Wang and Madam Wang to come over. If the dispute cannot be resolved in the end, then we will ask the emperor to make the decision."

Madam Mu was also very angry. On the happy day of celebrating her daughter's return, such a disgusting and obscene thing happened in their mansion. It was really disgusting!

The Shen family thought Wang Feng was unreliable, so they would let his parents make the decision. They didn't believe that they would go to the emperor to complain about their son's ridiculous behavior.

Wang Feng was also worried. He thought if his parents knew about this, they would punish him. They would most likely force him to marry Shen Zhu. He looked at Shen Zhu and felt disgusted. He had thought that she was pretty and wanted to take advantage of her, but she turned out to be a tough guy. Now that he was really going to fall for her, his wisdom in this life would be gone. Even if she had many backers, it couldn't change the fact that she was born in the countryside and was a village girl. If he married a village girl, wouldn't people laugh at him?

Even before Wang Feng married Shen Zhu, he already hated her.

Shen Zhu happened to see the look Wang Feng gave her. That hateful and fierce look made her tremble in her heart. If she married this man, would he be good to her? But now she couldn't not marry him. She could marry someone else, but so many people would know her secrets, and they would definitely not have the high status of the Wang family. If she couldn't marry Meng Jinliang and become the queen's sister-in-law, she would at least become the sister-in-law of the imperial concubine!

Shen Ziju sighed in his heart. He thought that the current situation was pressing. His parents and sister all wanted to marry into the Wang family. Although he knew that the imperial concubine and the queen were two factions, the former second prince was likely to inherit the throne, which had already made the imperial concubine's faction ambitious. Now that the eldest prince had returned, they would not give up the throne so easily. There might be a competition in the future, and at that time he might have to face the choice of team. If Zhu'er became a member of the Wang family, it would affect him. But he couldn't stop the development of things, because letting his sister marry someone else would also have many disadvantages, and to be honest, he also hoped to get more help from the Wang family.

So the group left here, and in order to avoid being seen by too many people, they went to a courtyard in the Chrysanthemum Garden. Not long after they arrived there, Lord Wang, Madam Wang, and Mu Yongnian all came over.

When Mu Yongnian learned what had happened, his face turned gloomy. Such a thing happening in his house was like a slap in his face. It would be extremely shameful if it got out. Moreover, today was a celebration for his daughter, but such a thing happened to his daughter's sister-in-law, which would also have a bad impact on his daughter.

"Master Wang, how do you think we should handle this matter?!"

Mu Yongnian asked Lord Wang coldly, almost in a questioning tone.

Lord Wang and Madam Wang were now livid, glaring at their son with hatred. They knew their son too well. He was a playboy. It was so lively in front, with so many women, but he didn't stay there honestly. Instead, he ran to this remote place with few people. They said he was here to enjoy the scenery, but they, as parents, didn't believe it. They believed in their hearts that Wang Feng must have come to chase women. They even thought that Wang Feng did it to Shen Zhu on purpose. They were all very angry at their son's recklessness. Now that the matter was discovered, there was really no way to end it.

"Brother Mu, don't be angry. My son did this in your house. It was his fault. You should forgive him for our long-term friendship. Don't worry, we will handle this matter well and will not embarrass you."

Lord Wang smiled bitterly at Mu Yongnian and said that although he was the father of the noble concubine, he was not as powerful as Mu Yongnian except for this relationship. His distant cousin married Mu Yongnian as a concubine. Moreover, both Mu Yongnian and his son were powerful people, so he had to offend them. Now Shen Zhu was the sister-in-law of Mu Yongnian's daughter, and she was a legitimate relative. His son had severely offended the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion, so he had to bow his head.

When Mrs. Wang heard what her husband said, she knew that the candidate for her daughter-in-law had been decided. She looked at Shen Zhu who was crying with her face covered, and she was very dissatisfied. Although her son was not competitive, he was good in the eyes of parents, and they all wanted to give him the best. She had already searched for a lot of lists of young ladies from prominent families, and was ready to pick the best one for her son to be the principal wife, hoping that her son would be able to take up the family business in the future. As a result, this incident happened now. Shen Zhu was going to be her daughter-in-law. She was a village girl, and she married into the Wang family because of this kind of thing. She just couldn't stand her at all.

"Brother Shen, Sister Shen, no matter what happened, my son and your daughter are already married. Please put aside your resentment and let their children get married. I will send someone to ask for marriage tomorrow, and I will definitely not let your daughter down."

Lord Wang bowed to Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang and politely proposed a marriage.
