My boyfriend is not a human being? It’s over. I love him even more!

Chapter 122: The Man with the Baby Seeks for His Wife (2)

The Chu family is the richest family in the city. It is said that their ancestors were high-ranking officials who retired to their hometown, so officials in the city will give the Chu family some face.

The Chu family never bullied others by taking advantage of their power. When the people were having a hard time, they would often give out porridge and do charity work, and they always had a good reputation.

However, recently, there have been a lot of gossips about the Chu family in the city. To be more precise, there was a problem with the engagement between the eldest daughter of the Chu family and her cousin.

Miss Chu is a famous beauty in the city. She has been engaged to my cousin since childhood. However, my cousin is devoted to his official career. He would not dare to marry her unless he has made some achievements. So he focused on the imperial examinations.

Two years ago, he passed the imperial examination and came back to visit his family. It should be the time for him to marry the eldest daughter, but at this time it was revealed that he had a mistress. What was even more unfortunate was that the mistress turned out to be the long-lost daughter of the second master of the Chu family.

This complicated relationship was enough to be a topic of conversation among the neighbors, but unexpectedly, two years ago, the two young ladies went out to worship Buddha and encountered robbers on the way.

The young cousin chose to save the concubine first. Miss Chu was so sad that she went to a nunnery to practice Buddhism and only recently returned to the mansion.

When the cousin who has now become the local county magistrate heard that Miss Chu had returned home, he came to the house to ask for a meeting with Miss Chu.

The weather was excellent today, but standing at the gate of the Chu family was a handsome man who had been turned away. This young man had a cold temperament and a flawless face. Just standing there, the girls coming and going could not help but take a few more glances at him.

The vendor selling candied haws muttered quietly: "I think County Magistrate Pei really wants to meet Miss Chu. Besides, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. What's more, Master Pei is a rare talent. The Chu family can't be so extreme. Miss Chu is too narrow-minded."

"You know shit?" The vegetable vendor said, "That's because he can't make his mistress his wife without the consent of the eldest wife of the Chu family, so he wants to come to the Chu family to discuss it. I guess he wants Miss Chu to agree to be his mistress as his co-wife."

Pei Yuzhou lost his father and mother at a young age and lived in the Chu family. Because he was the nephew of Mrs. Chu, he was treated with courtesy in the Chu family. The marriage between the cousins ​​was arranged when the two children were very young, and regardless of whether Pei Yuzhou passed the imperial examination or not, the Chu family never thought of breaking off the engagement.

It's just because Pei Yuzhou is handsome, calm and self-controlled, and is a rare talent. Even if he is made a son-in-law, there will be people vying for him.

But such a gentleman as elegant as jade did the only foolish thing in his life. That was, after a rain, he saw a charming woman holding an umbrella. When they passed by each other, he helped the woman who was about to fall.

Listening to her soft words of thanks and touching the smooth skin on her wrist, the usually cold-hearted young man was suddenly moved.

He kept this delicate beauty in his outer house, and he became addicted to her. Whenever he had time, he would demand more from her day and night. He was truly addicted to her tenderness and didn't know what day it was.

Unexpectedly, when Pei Yuzhou went to take the imperial examination, the woman secretly left the outer house and disappeared.

The first thing Pei Yuzhou did after rushing back was to look for someone all over the city, thus exposing the fact that he had a mistress. What's even more ridiculous is that this mistress turned out to be the lost daughter of the second branch of the Chu family.

Logically speaking, the second branch of the Chu family found their daughter, and since the matter was already settled, they should have married her to Pei Yuzhou without hesitation. However, the second branch had a superior position to the first branch.

The Chu family girl is someone else's mistress. Does this sound good? Does Pei Yuzhou cancel the engagement and marry the mistress, or does he want to enjoy the happiness of having two wives?

No matter what the result was, the eldest daughter of the Chu family, who was caught in the middle, seemed to have become a joke.

Faced with Pei Yuzhou's request for a meeting, the Chu family did not express their position, whether he wanted to cancel the engagement or fulfill it. If Pei Yuzhou wanted to take a hard approach, he would have to consider the Chu family's deep roots and whether his future career would be easy.

The vendor selling candied haws listened to the gossip of the vegetable seller and couldn't help asking: "Is this going to be delayed like this?"

The vegetable seller lowered her voice and said, "The Chu family came up with a win-win plan before. Pei Yuzhou still married the eldest daughter, but the concubine can only be a concubine at best. It is impossible for her to be on an equal footing with the eldest daughter."

The vendor nodded, "This method is feasible."

The words "jerk" are not pleasant to hear. Even though she is a daughter of a wealthy family who has been stranded away from home, these three words are like a stigma on her, and anyone who mentions them will find it unpresentable. Becoming Pei Yuzhou's concubine is the best outcome for her.

The vegetable vendor said, "But the concubine disagrees. She seems to have said something... something like... she would rather be the wife of a poor man than the concubine of a rich man. She pursues a lifelong relationship with one person and will never be a concubine. And County Magistrate Pei seems to have been drugged and is bent on following this woman. He has not agreed to the one-wife-one-concubine arrangement."

In fact, some political enemies who dislike Pei Yuzhou have been attacking him for his poor personal ethics, but Pei Yuzhou is extremely talented and self-admiring. He does not take the villain's behavior seriously and still stays in the outer house every night.

Before, Miss Chu was not at home. Now that Miss Chu is back, he always visits the Chu family in order to resolve the marriage issue.

The vegetable seller whispered, "I heard that Miss Chu was so sad about this that her health deteriorated. She was away from home for the past two years to recuperate. After she returned to the mansion, the doctor came to visit her frequently."

"Anyway, everyone is now saying that you, young lady, are terminally ill because of Pei Yuzhou!" The little maid was peeling an orange and was very angry when she spoke. The orange in her hand seemed to have become her enemy, vicious and she wanted to bite it.

She was very angry, but the beauty who was reading a book on the recliner was very calm, as if she was out of the matter. When she heard what the maid said, she just said "Oh" perfunctorily.

Yingying has been with the eldest lady since she was six years old. She is two years younger than the eldest lady. Because she is spoiled, she does not have as many taboos as the servants when speaking. Seeing the eldest lady reading the book indifferently, she was very disappointed, "Miss, is this book so interesting?"

"not bad."

It is more than good. It is a storybook that is ahead of its time.

The heroine has a delicate and soft body, is charming and affectionate. To use the words in the introduction, she has only one characteristic: beautiful!
When the cold and aloof young man saw such a beautiful woman for the first time, it aroused his desire for her. Thus, the cold flower fell from the altar. For the first time, the young man broke the rules and kept the woman as his mistress.
