Haven't had this for years...
Why did they all pray for Wen Yu? What about so many granddaughters? She began to have meaningless fantasies...
Suddenly, a panicked person came in. "Madam, the old man is back home!"
"What? He's back? What is he doing back?"
"No, I don't know."
"Is the Second Master here?"
"The second master is answering it in front!"
Old Mrs. Wen thought a lot, but she never expected that the old man actually came for Wen Yu!
So, when the old man appeared in her room with a proud look on his face and told her that he had decided to marry Wen Yu to the Qi family...
Old Madam Wen and Wen Feng, who came in with the old man, were both stunned.
Wen Feng stammered, "Dad, are you sure? Marrying the fifth son of the Qi family? Isn't this a dream?"
"Bah! How come my eldest granddaughter can't get married! She is as beautiful as a fairy, outstandingly talented, and generous. Who wouldn't like her? Our Wen family is also a family of officials with a strong financial background. Haha, her father is still an official in the capital. Only you are so useless! Don't think that others are the same as you!" I don't know what he was talking about.
Wen Feng was immediately overjoyed. He had hoped that Wen Yu could enter Prince Wu's Palace.
As a result, there was indeed some hope, but it was ruined by an assassination.
During the Tianlong Temple Dharma Assembly, he had seen Master Qi Wu from afar and couldn't even get close to him!
He had always thought that he was handsome and suave, but after taking a look at Master Qi Wu, he felt ashamed of himself...
Old Mrs. Wen was stunned: How did this bastard know this? Was it Wen Yu who reported it? Impossible!
"How did you know?" There was no point in hiding, so she asked directly.
"Don't worry about it! Anyway, I've decided on this marriage. If you don't agree, I'll take Wen Yu away today. I'll decide on the marriage and I'll pay for the dowry!"
“Haha!” Old Madam Wen sneered: “Do you think that with this coming-of-age gift, Wen Yu, your granddaughter, will be yours?!”
"It was originally mine! After all, I gave it a coming-of-age gift! What did you give me?"
"Maybe I raised her from childhood to adulthood?!" Old Mrs. Wen suppressed her anger and laughed sarcastically.
"Haha, Chen's dowry is with you, right? How come you raised her? She ate her own food and grew up by herself! We are the same! No one should say anything!"
"You!" Old Madam Wen was so angry that she felt dizzy. "You are too late! Wen Yu, I have already promised to marry Song Shang!"
"What?" Neither Old Master Wen nor Wen Feng understood.
"Song Shang wanted to divorce Wei and asked me for Wen Yu's help. I agreed!" Old Mrs. Wen was so proud that she made the old man angry.
"You!" This time, it was the old man's turn to be speechless.
"I don't need to say more about what Song Shang means to the Wen family, right? He asked for help, how could I refuse? Can we still do business? Even you can't do without him, right?!" Seeing the old man's ugly face, the old lady expressed her happiness.
Old Master Wen indeed lost his previous smugness, and instead looked at the old woman coldly.
At this moment, Wen Feng showed his "cleverness"!
"Mother, did the Qi family propose marriage to you directly?"
Both old men ignored him.
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Wen scolded him.
Old Master Wen was a little cautious. He didn't plan to go to the capital. The higher Wen Qian climbed, the less benefit it would bring to him...
But... he thought again, it was the Fifth Young Master of the Qi family who came to him personally for this matter, how could he be so disrespectful to him?
If I offend him, once he returns to Beijing, he will come back to look for me, and I will be finished! After thinking it through, he said, "Song Shang hasn't divorced yet, you are going to accept it now, do you want to let your granddaughter be someone's concubine?"
The old lady had no words to say to this.
They said they were going to divorce, but what if they couldn't do it? That was the Wei family...
"What if he can't do it?" The old man really thought of this, "Missed the Qi family for nothing? Normally, Wen Qian was promoted, and you should also move up. Why, you still can't get out of the circle of petty intrigues and deceit?"
"Hello! If you have the ability, don't use Song Shang! You are far from being able to show off in front of me!" The old lady became anxious and yelled.
But the angrier she got, the happier Old Master Wen became. "Look at you! I don't know which ancestor of the Wen family blessed us with such an outstanding person like Wen Yu! Fortunately, most of the other descendants look like me, otherwise... hehe!"
Old Mrs. Wen had been sad for several days, and the old man made her so angry that she swayed and almost fainted.
Wen Feng hurried over to help. "Mom, what dad said is not unreasonable. Don't be so angry..."
Mrs. Wen panted for a long time before she slowly said, "How can I not know that what you said makes sense? But it's hard for me to do it! Song Shang, you're kneeling and begging, tell me, if it were you, what would you do?!"
With her tricks, Old Master Wen found it a little difficult to deal with.
"He's such a capable man, he begged me for help, and he even..." The old lady thought, I guess I can't take the 200,000 yuan for myself, "He even promised to pay 200,000 yuan for the betrothal gift!"
"What?" Both father and son exclaimed again.
Old Master Wen finally spoke out: "He is crazy? But why?"
"You ask me? How would I know!? There are so many stupid men in the world who are not good at looking down on others!?" Old Mrs. Wen said hatefully.
This included scolding him, but Old Master Wen didn't care.
"Not only that! This morning, Madam Zhang came and asked for Wen Yu to marry Zhang Weiqing. I said that her grandfather already had plans and rejected her!"
"...You are doing a good job of pushing the responsibility!" Old Master Wen gritted his teeth.
"Oh!" Old Mrs. Wen sneered, "You've seen Song Shang's determination, right? Two hundred thousand taels! She is also your granddaughter, so, split the money!" Old Mrs. Wen was completely shameless and so cold that it was chilling.
This time, it was the old man's turn to be anxious.
Unexpectedly, Wen Feng was the most rational one at this moment: "Mother, money is good, but power is more important! No matter how much wealth you have, how much can you keep without power to protect it? Let's not talk about anything else, Dad, isn't it the same with you? It seems that you have a lot of output, but after all the management, how much can you keep?"
Old Master Wen nodded in approval.
Old Mrs. Wen glared at him.
"Mother, if the Qi family hadn't asked, we wouldn't have been able to get in. But they said so, and you didn't continue happily..."
The old man also came to his senses. Yes, this is his chance! If he can seize Wen Yu and use the Qi family as a backer, he won't have to worry about being suppressed by Wen Qian! "You are all shameless!" he replied.
Hehe, what a bunch of bad guys! I had fun writing this, and I hope you guys enjoy reading it.
