Her son is the heir apparent and will inherit the title in the future. She absolutely cannot marry a concubine's daughter, as she would be of no help and would be a disgrace to the family!
This little vixen thinks that by climbing into bed she can make her swallow this bitter pill, she's just dreaming!
Just wait and see what happens to her later!
Lady Hou patted Shen Tangning's hand and said sincerely, "You are the daughter-in-law that your mother has chosen, and no one can change that! As for Xiwei, we can only ask her to be a concubine."
She spoke in a light tone, thinking to herself, "Shen Xiwei is just a concubine's daughter; it's an honor for her to be her son's concubine!"
Shen Xiwei felt as if struck by lightning, and her body trembled.
Her face was deathly pale, and she lowered her eyes as if she had lost her soul, a hint of resentment flashing in them.
She had planned all this time, not to become a lowly concubine who could be sold off at will!
Chi Jingyu frowned, clearly dissatisfied with this approach: "Mother..."
Lady Hou's eyes flashed sharply: "You scoundrel! Shut your mouth!"
Chi Jingyu choked, realizing that he had gone too far tonight and angered his mother.
That's all.
We should make it up to Xiwei properly in the future.
Even if Shen Tangning marries into the family, he won't even glance at her!
Madam Chi clenched her handkerchief tightly, her brows furrowed with resentment.
What's the meaning?
So the second wife's family swallowed all the losses?
His son got married happily, contributing both money and effort, but in the end he got nothing and became a laughing stock for no reason!
Even though she has a good temper, she felt a tightness in her chest at this moment.
The old lady was biased, her husband was a taciturn man, and her son was a good-for-nothing!
Madam Chi gritted her teeth, her mouth feeling bitter.
She'll probably have no choice but to accept this loss today!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Shen Tangning withdrew her hand and said gently, "Madam Hou is joking."
Her address of "Madam Hou" clearly distinguished between close and distant relatives, causing Madam Hou's face to stiffen instantly, and she had a bad feeling.
Shen Tangning's face remained calm, with only a faint redness at the corner of her eyes. She spoke slowly and deliberately, each word piercing the heart: "My Shen family has a clean and upright family tradition. We are not the kind of impoverished family that sells its daughters for personal gain. There is absolutely no reason for two women to serve one husband."
Chi Yan looked up at her, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
The smile on Lady Hou's face faltered: "You child, why are you so stubborn..."
“Now that I’ve married into this family, I have no face to return to the Shen family.” Shen Tangning took a step back, glanced around, and then looked straight at Chi Yan, who was watching the commotion. “Young Master Chi is a nice person. I think we should just go with the flow.”
Lady Hou's composure finally crumbled.
Chi Jingyu frowned slightly, and his lips moved silently.
Shen Xiwei looked incredulous. Had she gone mad?
Chi Yan was dumbfounded, blinking blankly: "Huh?"
"What 'ah'!" Madam Chi's face lit up with joy, but she couldn't help but scold, "You brat, why aren't you calling me Madam yet?"
Heaven must be blind! How could such a good girl marry her mentally challenged son?
Oh dear, is she dreaming?
Madam Chi was both flustered and delighted, her expression slightly strange.
Chi Yan glanced at his mother's expression and fell silent: "..."
The way his mother looked like she'd gotten a bargain didn't seem like she'd found him a wife, but rather like she'd found him a new father.
