The second wife hurriedly said, "I supported the engagement before, but now it's different! Chen Wan is the county lord, and Yuan Qi married her only benefits but not harm!"
Zhenbei Hou said with a slight sarcastic expression: "So, my brother and sister mean, I will sell my son for the sake of a county lord?"
The second wife was a little embarrassed: "Brother, don't say it so badly. Yuan Qi and Chen Wan were originally engaged, so how could they be sold?"
For her, this is clearly a great thing to get a bargain.
Zhenbei Hou really didn't want to pay attention to her and looked at the second master beside him.
"Second brother, do you think so too?"
The second master said with a smile: "Brother, my wife is right. If you can marry a county lord into the door, it will be better than more harmful to Yuanqi and our Marquis' Mansion!"
Zhenbeihou: "..." Yes, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
So the couple couldn't wait to find him, trying to convince him to sell his son and marry Chen Wan into the house.
Zhenbeihou smiled angry.
The Chu family is not very crowded, and the family tradition is clean and honest. There has never been a scandal of favoring concubines and killing wives.
Zhenbei Hou was even more monogamous, with only Chu Yuanqi under his knees.
The second wife in front of me is actually the illegitimate younger brother of Zhenbei Hou, and the two are half-brothers.
The old lady of Zhenbei Houfu family is still alive, and there is no separation between brothers.
Therefore, the second master and second wife, as well as their children, still live in Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
The engagement between Zhenbei Hou Mansion and Nanyang Hou Mansion is known to everyone in the capital.
Since "Chen Wan" returned to the Shen family with her son.
Zhenbei Hou Mansion became a laughing stock in the capital. The young marquis Chu Yuanqi was ridiculed by countless young men from aristocratic families. He was cuckolded before he got married and became a father!
The Zhenbei Hou Mansion will naturally not be slapped in the face like this, and it is even more impossible to marry a woman who has given birth to a child to enter the house.
Therefore, breaking off the engagement is inevitable.
It’s just that Zhenbei Hou underestimated the shamelessness of the Shen family.
Because of the old Marquis and Shen Zhijiang's various refusals, the divorce failed repeatedly and continued to be delayed until today.
Before "Chen Wan" was named the county lord, the second wife had repeatedly mocked Chu Yuanqi in secret.
As a result, I never expected it.
Once the imperial edict fell from the sky, "Chen Wan" turned directly into the lord of Anping County.
The second wife couldn't sit still and pulled the second master to find Zhenbeihou, trying to persuade him not to break off the engagement and let Chu Yuanqi marry "Chen Wan" back!
The reason is very simple.
Just as the identity of a county lord, the value of "Chen Wan" has exceeded that of most noble girls from aristocratic families in the capital.
Apart from the royal princess and the princess, there is no longer a marriage candidate with a higher status than her.
Zhenbei Hou Mansion is a family of military generals. It is inevitable that it will attract attention.
In order to avoid suspicion, the Chu family could not marry a princess or princess with royal blood. Then, having the title of county lord and not the royal bloodline, naturally became the most suitable marriage partner of the Chu family.
What's even better is that she and Chu Yuanqi had an engagement since childhood.
Although there were some problems in the middle, it was not a big deal in the eyes of the second wife.
Sacrifice Chu Yuanqi's reputation and return to the county lord's wife.
Is there any more cost-effective deal in the world? This chapter has been completed!
