MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 75 Bai Gaoxing

Chapter 75 Bai Gaoxing

Even if they were **** and added together, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough to sell them for ten thousand taels.

 Happiness burst out from everyone's eyes, especially the fifth old man and his father Shang Yuding.

They seemed to have thought about how they would spend the bride price after receiving it, and naturally their eyebrows were filled with joy.

 Shang Qiniang was still crying sadly, but when she heard the bride price, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

It would be good if she could see two or three taels of silver throughout the year.

 Ten thousand taels, she never dreamed that she would have such an opportunity.

 Suddenly I felt that King Min's age was not such a terrible thing.

 The veil covered the panic and confusion in his eyes.

At this moment, what she was thinking more about was how to save the bride price and take it away from these relatives who could eat people without spitting out their bones.

Of all the people present, the only one who felt heartbroken was probably her mother, Ms. Guo.

While hating her own incompetence, her three daughters were all married off like animals by the family members, but she didn't know how to refuse.

 At the same time, I also feel sorry for my daughters. They all can’t find a husband. What kind of evil have they done?

 It's a pity that the arm cannot twist the thigh.

Even if she cries to death in this room, no one will care.

 After all, when they heard about the bride price of 10,000 taels, no one cared about what would happen if Qiniang got married.

 Everyone just wants to get things done quickly and then sit back and enjoy the results.

So the fifth old man didn't care about his shame. Even though this "grandson-in-law" was only ten years younger, he still thought it was a great marriage.

 So, I asked again and again with excitement.

“Wu Lang, we are really high on such a good marriage, so when will the royal family come to betrothal?”

The anxious look on his face was hard to look at, but what he asked was something that everyone wanted to know, so no one thought he was going too far.

When Shang Wulang heard this, his originally confident expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

So he coughed twice before saying.

"Grandpa, don't panic. The matter has not yet been decided. Aren't I afraid that Seventh Sister might have concerns? That's why I rushed to send it home as soon as I heard the news. Therefore, the other end of the palace is not sure who it is. What a blessing it is to have this opportunity.”

 Hearing this, everyone present seemed to have been splashed with cold water.

 Especially Shang Yuding, he wanted to step on Shang Wulang a few times.

So that the nephew who was in the limelight in front of his father would be comfortable with being scolded a little more, so he said it hurriedly.

"After a long time, you can't let Qiniang enter the palace? Then what nonsense are you talking about here? It didn't take us a long time!"

 The disgust in his eyes was as bad as the word "trash" coming out of his mouth.

Shang Wulang and his second uncle were not at odds with each other. For such a good thing, if his biological sister Wu Niang was not already married, would it be Qi Niang's turn?

The second uncle didn't express his gratitude to him for sending the news back, but still arranged this meal, which really made Shang Wulang a little angry.

I immediately wanted to give up my job, but Shang Yuan came out to smooth things over.

“Second brother, don’t be anxious. Although this character has not yet been revealed, it is a good thing to know the news in advance. Otherwise, when the palace finds the person, there will be a chance for us Qiniang to miss it, right?”

 After he said this, Shang Yuding became less angry.

On the other hand, the fifth old man was very protective and scolded his eldest son.

“As a father, you don’t even think about finding a good marriage for your daughter. Not to mention the tired Wu Lang running around outside, you are still here picking and choosing the good and the thin ones. Huh, go back, I feel like an eyesore when I look at you!”

 When he got angry, Shang Yuding's face turned blue and white. He glanced at his brother and nephew angrily, and then walked away without leaving any escape route for himself.

  Since he has no status at all in this family, he might as well go out and drink wine.

Hence, he walked out of the gate of Yingjuan Courtyard without looking back.

Once he left, Mrs. Guo and Shang Qiniang had no one to rely on.

Like two lambs waiting to be slaughtered, they were sitting on pins and needles here, but the butcher who was about to slash his knife at them actually seemed a lot more amiable.

 For example, Shang Yu'an started to attack Mrs. Guo and said in a calm tone.

“Second sister-in-law, what do you think of Qiniang’s marriage?”

Mrs. Guo has been married for so many years, but few people have asked her for her opinion, so she has long developed a reticence to speak.

 After talking for a long time, my face turned red but I couldn't say anything.

 Seeing that both the fifth old man and his wife were very unhappy, they regretted marrying such a daughter-in-law to their son.

　　　It means that one cannot give birth to grandchildren, and one cannot speak eloquently.

 It is of no use at all.

Hence, Mrs. Wu also scolded her in a very disrespectful manner.

"I know how to cry all day long. It's no wonder that I can't win over this man. Look how much you have ruined Ding'er. Even the teacher said he was talented before. But since he married you, he has been in the imperial examination. You can't pass the exam, and neither can your son or your son. Bah, you are a harm to others, so you deserve to be divorced!"

 When she said this, she scolded Mrs. Guo, who was already timid, to the point where she could only shed tears.

Although Shang Qiniang also hated her mother's weakness, she still took good care of herself.

 Therefore, although she was a little scared, she still helped and said to Mrs. Wu.

"Grandma, please calm down. If this can happen, my granddaughter is willing to marry someone who can contribute to the family."

Hearing her statement like this, Mrs. Guo, a mother, burst into tears.

On the other hand, the faces of Mrs. Wu and others relaxed a lot, and they said with some relief.

"Qiniang is a sensible and good child. It would be a great good thing if you can get into Prince Min's Mansion. Even though Prince Min is older, he will definitely love you."

 “That’s what grandma said.”

Seeing this, Wulang's wife next to her also raised her head and said.

“With Seventh Sister’s beauty and ability, she will surely stand out in Prince Min’s palace. Didn’t the eldest sister back then also achieve such a high position? Seventh Sister’s good fortune will come later.”

 When she said this, others nodded in agreement.

 It's just that Shang Yu'an's wife, Mrs. Ni, felt a little regretful. She felt a little sad that a good child had to go to Israel to serve people like this.

 But the matters concerning the fifth house are not hers to decide.

 Hence, she didn’t say much.

At this point, the people in the fifth house have reached a consensus and want to send Shang Qiniang to Prince Min's palace.

How can I send it? Yet another problem.

 Shang Wulang thought for a while and felt that he might have to find out more about this matter.

 Otherwise, relying on their connections in the fifth house, let alone entering Prince Min's Mansion, it would be a question of whether they could meet a second-class steward there.
