After leaving Prince Yi's Mansion, the housekeeper hurried back to the Hou Mansion and repeated Xiao Lingyue's words exactly as they were.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Hou Mansion, the people from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion have not left yet, and they are shaking with anger: "What a Miss Shen San! When my Zhenbei Hou Mansion came to cancel the engagement, she not only avoided seeing her, but also dared to make us wait any longer. Three days is simply unreasonable!”
Shen Zhijiang said with a smile: "Please forgive me, Shen Wan grew up in the countryside and doesn't know etiquette..."
"In my opinion, it's not that Shen Wan doesn't know etiquette, but that your Nanyang Marquis Mansion doesn't take our Zhenbei Marquis seriously at all! In this case, there's nothing to say, so I'll say goodbye!"
After saying this, he angrily threw up his sleeves and walked away.
"No, we don't mean that!" Shen Zhijiang was dumbfounded for a moment, and quickly got up to chase him, and finally watched the people from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion walk away.
Shen Zhijiang was angry and anxious, turned around and kicked the housekeeper hard: "I asked you to bring Shen Wan back, how did you do it!"
"Mr. Marquis, have mercy on me!" The butler knelt on the ground with a plop, "It's not that I don't do my best, it's that Miss Third refuses to come back, and with His Highness Prince Yi here, I don't dare to do anything hard..."
"What a waste!" Shen Zhijiang cursed angrily, and without caring about anything else, he hurriedly went to find the old master.
The Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Nanyang are both first-class hereditary titles, and there is no distinction between high and low.
However, the descendants of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion are ineffective, and now they are gradually declining. The manor is only supported by the remaining power of the old Marquis.
The Zhenbei Hou Mansion is just the opposite. At the height of its power, not only does it have the trust of His Majesty, but it also has real power in its hands, and it is definitely not something that can be easily offended.
"Father, what should we do now? That rebellious woman Shen Wan is so disrespectful to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. If the Zhenbei Hou is blamed, my son cannot afford it!" Shen Zhijiang said with a bitter face.
After hearing what happened, the old marquis cursed angrily: "Who asked you to go to Prince Yi's Mansion to pick someone up? It's just right that Shen Wan refuses to come back. If she's not here, the Shen family has a reason not to break off the engagement, so you still send someone there Pick her up!”
"However, the Zhenbei Houfu has taken advantage of it and is determined to break off the engagement. There is nothing my son can do..." Shen Zhijiang looked frightened and helpless.
"We have to find a way even if we have no choice. This marriage cannot be canceled no matter what!"
The old Marquis said categorically: "Now is the time when the Marquis of Zhenbei is favored by His Majesty. If we can marry him, it will be of great benefit to our Shen family! Even if it is not Shen Wan, another person will still keep this marriage." !”
"Father, what do you mean..." Shen Zhijiang asked, stunned.
"Shen Wan is no longer useful. It is impossible to marry a widow into the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Instead of breaking off the engagement, it is better to marry someone else!" The old Marquis narrowed his eyes and said, "In my opinion, Yu Ting is very suitable. .”
Shen Zhijiang said cautiously: "However, Yuting is just a concubine, so her status may not be suitable..."
The reason why Shen Wan was able to marry the young Marquis of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was because she was the only legitimate daughter of the Shen family.
Both sides are hereditary princes, and they are both direct descendants, so they are from the same family.
If it were Shen Yuting, there would be no match in terms of status. No one would marry a legitimate son to a concubine.
But this is not a problem at all in the eyes of the old Marquis: "Just put Yu Ting in the name of Shen Wan's mother and pretend to be the legitimate daughter."
Just because Aunt Hua can't be his wife, it doesn't mean that Shen Zhijiang doesn't have a wife.
Shen Wan's mother was Mrs. Hou who was once married to a matchmaker. Although she has been dead for many years, as long as her name is still there in the family tree, as long as Shen Yuting is added to her name, she will naturally have the title of legitimate daughter. identity.
This approach cannot be hidden from discerning people, nor can it change Shen Yuting's nature as a concubine.
But for things like marriage, as long as it's decent, that's enough. Popular "" This chapter has been completed!
