Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 466

For a moment, Wen thought she was hallucinating: "Propose marriage? Did Chief Eunuch Mo just say propose marriage? To whom?"

Mo Zhonggui said clearly, "I am proposing marriage to the Shen family. I wish to marry the third daughter of the Shen family, Shen Lingjun."

"..."

The hall fell silent once again.

Mo Chonggui is going to marry Shen Lingjun?!

Wen's expression gradually changed from bewilderment to shock, and then to the point where she was about to roar like a shrew.

"What did you say!?......"

Shen Wei's reaction was better than Wen Shi's. After all, he had heard Mo Chonggui mention back in the Northwest that he wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Shen family to marry Shen Lingjun, so he was somewhat prepared.

Shen Wei quickly stopped Madam Wen: "Madam, calm down!"

While pulling back the enraged Wen Shi, he said to Mo Chonggui in a frantic tone, "Why is Chief Eunuch Mo bringing this up again? Didn't you say it was just a joke last time?"

Wen keenly caught a key word: "Again? He mentioned it before?"

Shen Wei's scalp tingled: "Madam, please calm down. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you'd worry... I firmly refused him before! But I didn't expect him to still have this idea..."

Ms. Wen exploded: "No way! I don't agree!"

Mo Zhonggui calmly asked, "Why?"

Wen was momentarily speechless: "This... it just won't work!"

Not only because Mo Zhonggui was a eunuch, but also because she never considered him as a potential son-in-law!

The Wen family's criteria for choosing a son-in-law were similar to those of Wen Xie. He didn't have to be of high social standing, but his family had to be respectable; he didn't have to be extremely wealthy, but his family had to be harmonious; he didn't have to be exceptionally talented, but he had to be of good character; he didn't have to be a stunningly handsome man, but he had to be gentle in nature.

Mo Zhonggui doesn't fit into any of those categories!

I've stepped on every landmine!

Wen racked his brains, trying to think of a way to make the wording more tactful:

"Chief Supervisor Mo, Lingjun's previous marriage was to the wrong person. It was all our fault for misjudging people back then and choosing the wrong husband for her, which caused her so much suffering. Now that her suffering has finally come to an end, she can have a fresh start. I don't ask that she achieve great success and wealth; I only hope that she can have a normal marriage and enjoy the ordinary happiness of a married couple. Therefore..."

So you, a eunuch who can't become a real couple, are really not in the running!

Mo Zhonggui wasn't angry and said calmly, "I understand. But there are many benefits to marrying me."

He listed them one by one.

"First of all, given my status, my wife can basically do whatever she wants in Bei Yi."

"Secondly, I have no parents or elders above me, no brothers or sisters in the middle, and no children or descendants below me. After marrying into the family, I will not have to serve my parents-in-law, deal with my sisters-in-law, or worry about any disputes over family property. The entire Mo family will be under the management of my wife, and all my property will also be her property."

"Thirdly, I am Yao'er and Xi'er's godfather, and we have a very good relationship. As their stepfather, I will definitely not mistreat them. When Yao'er inherits the title and Xi'er gets married, I will be another pillar of support for them."

Wen: "..."

Hmm...that seems to make sense?

Thinking about it this way, Mo Zhonggui's conditions weren't actually that bad.

The first point didn't bother Wen Shi much. Shen Lingjun wasn't lacking in wealth and status; she was a second-rank imperial consort, and with the Shen family backing her up, she was already extremely prestigious among women in the capital.
