Chapter 97 Slapping the Third Son
Hearing this.
Shen Yan's calm and handsome face couldn't help but relax a little, and even the corners of his mouth seemed to be unable to restrain themselves from rising.
His eyes sparkled and he couldn't help but turn to look at Jiang Wanning.
Almost blurted out——
There is such a good thing?!
Unfortunately, before he could be happy, he heard Jiang Wanning continue.
"I'll pick out a few beautiful concubines for you, Lord Marquis. Then they'll give birth to babies like rabbits, one litter after another."
Shen Yan's smile froze: "..."
No hehe.
Even Old Madam Shen looked at her suspiciously.
"Are you... out of your mind? You used to absolutely refuse to let the Marquis take a concubine, but now you're so proactive?"
Chen Yan waved his hand, thinking that Jiang Wanning was testing him.
"Madam, I was just joking. Mother, please don't take it seriously... I swore a solemn oath in front of you long ago that I would only have legitimate sons and daughters born to you in this life, no illegitimate sons or daughters! If I break this oath, I will have no descendants!"
Old Madam Shen's face turned pale and she almost fainted from anger.
"Why are you swearing such a vicious oath?"
Xiao Huaiyu waved his fan and sighed secretly. Everyone said that Marquis Pingyang was a slave to his wife, but he didn't quite believe it.
Now that I see it, it is true that hearing is believing, and seeing is even more true!
No wonder Zhizhi wanted to divorce her husband. With such a father-in-law around, she was bound to dislike everything about Shen Yu'an.
It seems he still needs to work harder!
Jiang Wanning didn't expect Chen Yan to say this suddenly, and he said it so seriously that she felt a little pressured.
But she must be too lazy to give birth again.
The risks for older mothers are too great, and she dare not gamble with her life.
What's more, she had already thought of a solution.
Pulling Song Zhizhi's hand, Jiang Wanning said again.
"Actually, she doesn't have to be a biological daughter. Zhizhi is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and she has severed ties with the Song family... I've discussed it with her, and as soon as the imperial decree comes, I'll adopt Zhizhi as my adopted daughter.
In this way, she will have the Marquis's Mansion as her family home, and I will have a filial and capable daughter. Isn't this the best of both worlds? "
Madam Shen was speechless: "..."
Every word Jiang said was beyond her imagination.
It's simply shocking!
Unheard of!
Adopting a daughter-in-law as her adopted daughter would mess up everything. What a rotten idea! She actually came up with it! And she's so smug about it!
On the side, Xiao Huaiyu reacted very quickly.
He immediately swung his clothes, knelt in front of Jiang Wanning, and bowed.
"Mother-in-law, please accept my son-in-law's greetings!"
Mrs. Shen staggered when she saw this, and if she hadn't been supported by the nanny, she would have almost fallen to the ground.
How could they all be so deviant? And yet they acted as if it was natural, as if she was the heretic!
Seeing Xiao Huaiyu bowing to him respectfully, Jiang Wanning did not rush to respond.
He just cleared his throat.
"Prince Xiao, I quite like you, but Zhizhi has already suffered once, and I can't let her suffer a second time... You can marry Zhizhi, but I have one condition."
Xiao Huaiyu said immediately.
"Mother-in-law, please speak."
Jiang Wanning asked Baojuan to get the unused divorce papers and handed them to Xiao Huaiyu.
Based on the principle that everything written should not be wasted.
He spoke.
"Under the current laws of our dynasty, the price for a woman to divorce her husband is too high. If you wish to marry Zhizhi, you must first sign this divorce agreement. If you dare betray Zhizhi later, you will not be able to take back any of the 500 betrothal gifts... Are you willing to do so?"
Hearing this, Xiao Huaiyu brushed away the hair on his temples and said with a smile.
"How difficult is this?!"
Having said that, he picked up the pen, signed his name on the divorce papers, and then pressed his fingerprint.
It seems that if I write it too late, my wife will run away!
Jiang Wanning even suspected that even if he was asked to sign a contract to sell himself, he would not blink an eye.
He deserves to have snatched away such a good wife like Zhizhi!
But the Marquis has been performing pretty well recently.
Just a little old.
Oh, I don’t know if it’s okay.
…
Ever since Shen Yu'an was put in jail, Jiang Wanning has had a few days of leisure time.
Count on your fingers.
It’s time for Shen Yulin to come back.
Sometimes Jiang Wanning really felt that the original owner was not worth it. She tried so hard to please her three sons, but in the end she failed to please any of them.
The three brothers privately felt that their mother favored other sons, so their relationship was not good.
Because the three of them were prone to quarreling together, they went to different camps.
As the old saying goes, it is not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth!
If the water is not distributed evenly, it will be wasted no matter how much you give.
It’s better not to give it!
Although Song Zhizhi accepted the betrothal gift, she did not want to marry into the Duke's Mansion so soon, so she just set a wedding date and continued to live in the Marquis' Mansion for the time being.
She just changed her identity and is now the fourth lady of the Marquis's Mansion.
In order to promote the "Qingzhi" brand, which was bestowed by the emperor, and to do a good job in disaster relief, she has been running around outside these days, often leaving the house before dawn, and only asking Xiao Huaiyu to send her back after curfew.
Today, he returned home before the sun set, and brought back a girl in mourning.
Most of the servants in the Marquis' Mansion were added after Shen Yan came to Beijing, and they don't know much about the Shen family's affairs.
When Jiang Wanning heard the report, he couldn't help but ask another question.
"Is that girl's surname Ye?"
The maid hurriedly said.
"Madam, it's Miss Ye... She's sitting in the front hall crying. The Second Young Master, ahem, and the Fourth Young Lady are there to comfort her, but they can't stop her."
Jiang Wanning nodded and stood up.
"I see. I'll go take a look."
Nanny Lin followed behind her, her expression full of pity.
"I heard that the battle in Jincheng was extremely brutal! The Ye family defended the isolated city to the death, and all the male members died in the battle. I'm afraid Miss Ye has come here to entrust her orphan to someone else."
Jiang Wanning's expression was also somewhat solemn.
The time when she traveled into the book was not a coincidence.
He didn't have time to inform General Ye, and could only watch the entire Ye family of loyal heroes sacrifice their lives.
Back then, General Ye had helped Shen Yan, and the two families were interested in forming a marriage, so they arranged a marriage between Shen Yulin and General Ye's favorite granddaughter, Ye Linglong.
Now Ye Linglong's grandfather, father and brother all died in the battlefield. Upon hearing the sad news, Mrs. Ye vomited blood on the spot and passed away soon after.
She was the only orphan left in the Ye family.
At the suggestion of the clan elders, she went to Beijing alone to seek help from her relatives in the Marquis' Mansion, hoping to preserve the remaining troops under General Ye.
But who knew...
Shen Yulin, that heartless ungrateful bastard, secretly had an affair with another woman.
Jiang Wanning was waiting for him to come home so that he could give him a good beating!
…
Walk to the front hall.
Jiang Wanning immediately spotted Ye Linglong, who was dressed in plain clothes and had a white flower on her head. The girl was very pretty, with a heroic look in her eyes and eyebrows.
Just a pair of eyes, as red as a rabbit's from crying.
Seeing her come in, Song Zhizhi couldn't help but stand up.
"Mother, you're here... It's all my fault. I don't know how to comfort people. I touched Miss Ye's sore spot, which is why she cried so hard."
Ye Linglong quickly stood up and raised her sleeves to wipe the tears from her cheeks.
Without waiting for Jiang Wanning to come close to him, he knelt down in front of her.
Requested.
"Madam, I know my visit may be abrupt... but my father and brother have both died in battle. If I want to protect the Ye family army, I have no choice but to marry into the Marquis's family and marry Shen Yulin as soon as possible. I hope that Madam will agree to this!"
As soon as the words fell.
Jiang Wanning hadn't even reached out to help her up.
Suddenly, a light call came from behind.
"No, I can't marry her!"
Hearing this half-familiar voice, Jiang Wanning turned around.
Then Shen Yulin walked in with big strides, an impatient expression on his face.
"Mother! I already have a girl I love, and I absolutely cannot marry her..."
“Bang!”
