A Beautiful Duchess with a Dark Heart – Chapter 104

Chapter 104
Old Madam Wen paced back and forth in her room, her mind in turmoil.

It’s been years since it’s been like this…

Why are they all asking for Wen Yu? There are so many granddaughters!

She even started to have pointless fantasies…

Suddenly, someone rushed in through the door. “Old Madam, Old Master is back!”

“What? He’s back? What’s he back for?”

“I, I don’t know.”

“Is Second Master here?”

“Second Master is welcoming him at the front!”

Old Madam Wen had thought of everything, but she never expected that Old Master Wen would come for Wen Yu!

So, when Old Master Wen appeared triumphantly in her room, telling her that he had decided to marry Wen Yu into the Qi family…

Old Madam Wen and Wen Feng, who had accompanied Old Master Wen in, were stunned.

Wen Feng stammered, “Father, you didn’t make a mistake, did you!? Marry to Qi Wulang? This, this is not a dream, is it?”

“Bah! Why can’t my legitimate eldest granddaughter be married off! She’s as beautiful as a fairy, talented, and graceful. Who wouldn’t like her? Our Wen family is also an official family with a solid foundation. Hehe, her father is still an official in the capital. It’s just you, you’re good for nothing! Don’t think everyone is like you!” It was unclear how this was related.

Wen Feng was overjoyed. He had originally hoped that Wen Yu could enter Prince Wu’s residence.

As a result, he really saw a glimmer of hope, but it was brutally destroyed by an assassination.

He had seen Fifth Young Master Qi from afar at the Heavenly Dragon Temple Dharma Assembly, but he couldn’t even get close!

He had always thought that he was quite handsome and romantic, but after a glance at Fifth Young Master Qi, he felt ashamed…

Old Madam Wen was dumbfounded: How did this old dog know? Did Wen Yu tell him? Impossible!

“How did you know?” There was no use hiding, so she asked directly.

“Don’t worry about it! Anyway, I’ve decided on this marriage. If you don’t agree, I’ll take Wen Yu away today. I’ll arrange the marriage and I’ll pay for the dowry!”

“Hehe!” Old Madam Wen sneered. “You think that with a coming-of-age gift, Wen Yu, this granddaughter, is yours?!”

“She’s always been mine! At least I gave her a coming-of-age gift! What did you give her?”

“Perhaps I, raised her from childhood?” Old Madam Wen suppressed her anger, laughing sarcastically.

“Hehe, Chen Shi’s dowry is with you, right? How did you raise her?! She grew up eating her own food! We’re both the same! Don’t talk about each other!”

“You!” Old Madam Wen was so angry that her head was spinning. “You’re too late! I’ve already promised Wen Yu to Song Shang!”

“What?” Both Old Master Wen and Wen Feng were confused.

“Song Shang wants to divorce Wei Shi and asked me for Wen Yu, and I agreed!” Old Madam Wen proudly angered the old man.

“You!” This time, it was Old Master Wen’s turn to be speechless.

“I don’t need to say more about what Song Shang means to the Wen family, right!? He came to ask, how could I refuse? Are we still doing business? Even you can’t do without him, right?!” Looking at the old man’s ugly face, Old Madam Wen felt very happy.

Old Master Wen was indeed no longer as proud as before, but looked coldly at the old woman.

At this moment, Wen Feng showed his “intelligence”!

“Mother, did the Qi family directly propose marriage to you?”

Both elders ignored him.

He continued, “Big Brother has been promoted, and what we need most now are connections! The Qi family is a top-notch family in the capital! As long as this marriage is successful, our social circle in the capital will be several levels higher! Song Shang can’t give us this!”

✿✿✿

“Shut up!” Old Madam Wen scolded him.

Old Master Wen became a little cautious. He didn’t plan to go to the capital anyway, the higher Wen Qian climbed, the less beneficial it actually was for him…

However… He thought again, Fifth Young Master Qi had personally come to him for this matter, could he really refuse him like that?

If he offended him, when he returned to the capital, he would come back to find him, and he would be finished!

After understanding this, he said, “Song Shang hasn’t divorced yet, you’re agreeing now, do you want your legitimate granddaughter to be a concubine?”

Old Madam Wen had no words to refute this.

He said he would go for a divorce, but what if he couldn’t do it? That was the Wei family…

“What if he can’t do it?” The old man really thought of this. “Miss the Qi family in vain? It stands to reason that with Wen Qian’s promotion, you should also aim higher. How come you still can’t get rid of the petty circle?”

“You’re good! If you’re so capable, don’t use Song Shang! You’re still far from showing off your decency here!” Old Madam Wen was anxious and shouted.

But the more angry she got, the happier Old Master Wen became. “Look at you! I don’t know which ancestor of the old Wen family blessed us with such an outstanding Wen Yu! Fortunately, the appearances of other descendants mostly resemble mine, otherwise… Hehe!”

Old Madam Wen had been feeling bad for several days, and after being angered by the old man, she swayed and almost fainted.

Wen Feng hurried to support her. “Mother, what Father said is not unreasonable. Don’t be so angry…”

Old Madam Wen panted for a while before slowly saying, “How could I not know that what you said is reasonable? But it’s difficult for me! Song Shang, kneeling and begging, tell me, if it were you, what would you do?!”

Old Master Wen also found it a bit difficult to deal with her using this tactic.

“Such a capable person, begging me left and right, he also…” Old Madam Wen thought to herself, I probably can’t keep this 200,000 to myself. “He also promised a betrothal gift of 200,000!”

“What?” The father and son exclaimed again.

Old Master Wen finally said, “Is he crazy? But why?”

“You ask me? How would I know!? Are there few foolish men in the world who have no standards!?” Old Madam Wen said hatefully.

This was scolding him as well, but Old Master Wen didn’t care.

“That’s not all! Early this morning, Madam Zhang came to propose marriage for Zhang Weiqing to Wen Yu. I said that her grandfather already had plans and refused!”

“… You’re really good at shifting the blame!” Old Master Wen gnashed his teeth.

“Heh!” Old Madam Wen sneered. “You’ve seen Song Shang’s determination, right? 200,000 taels! She’s also your granddaughter, so let’s split the profit!” Old Madam Wen was completely shameless, her coldness chilling.

This time, it was Old Master Wen’s turn to be anxious.

Unexpectedly, Wen Feng was the most rational one at this moment. “Mother, although money is good, power is more important! No matter how much wealth you have, without power to protect it, how much can you keep? Not to mention anything else, Father, isn’t that the case with your affairs? It seems like the output is quite a lot, but after all the expenses, how much can you actually keep?”

Old Master Wen nodded in approval.

Old Madam Wen glared at him.

“Mother, if the Qi family hadn’t spoken, we wouldn’t be able to get close to them. But they did, and you weren’t happy to accept…”

Old Master Wen also recovered. Right, this was his chance! Seizing Wen Yu and using the Qi family as backing, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of being suppressed by Wen Qian anymore!

“You’re all ungrateful!” He chimed in.

Heehee, what a bunch of bad guys! I’m happy to write this, I hope you guys enjoy it.
