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

Chapter 467

The last two are more important.

Having learned from the lessons of the Qin and Yin families, Ms. Wen now harbors a psychological aversion to her future husband's family when choosing a son-in-law.

When a woman marries, she is not only marrying a man, but also his entire family. The character and ease of getting along with the other members of her husband's family often have a significant impact on the marriage.

Even though Madam Wen found Shen Lingjun a nephew from her own family, and she knew the Wen family very well, it was still hard to guarantee that problems wouldn't arise.

Mo Zhonggui didn't have this concern. He was all alone, without even a relative, so he could go straight to the point and avoid all the trouble.

There are also Shen Lingjun's two children. Although Qin Chuyao can inherit the Yongning Marquis's mansion and his two children don't have to go with Shen Lingjun to marry into it, they are still so young and it's impossible for them to completely separate from their mother's life.

At this point, the quality of the stepfather becomes especially important. How many men truly care for a child who isn't their own?

Mo Zhonggui was the only adopted son and daughter he had, and he couldn't possibly have children of his own. For Qin Jianxi and Qin Chuyao, he was definitely the most ideal stepfather.

The more Wen thought about it, the more she felt that Mo Zhonggui really did have his advantages.

But she was still conflicted: "But..."

Shen Jingyang, who had been listening from the side, stepped forward and said, "Mother, let's not just discuss it among ourselves. We should also ask Lingjun's opinion, and we can also ask Yao'er and Xi'er."

Just as Wen was wondering how to answer Mo Zhonggui, she heard this as a savior and quickly said:

“Yes, yes, Chief Eunuch Mo, Lingjun is no longer a young lady confined to her home. Her marriage cannot be entirely decided by her parents; she still has the right to make her own decisions. Let's ask her opinion first, and then we'll discuss it later. You can take these gifts back first…”

Mo Zhonggui: "Okay, but you don't need to take your things back; just leave them here."

Shen Wei: "How can that be! It's ridiculous. What kind of talk is it to put so many valuable gifts in the Shen family for no reason?"

After much back and forth, the Shen family was ultimately unable to return Mo Chonggui's so-called betrothal gifts, and could only leave them there untouched for the time being.

Shen Wei and Wen Shi couldn't sleep all night. The couple whispered and discussed it for half the night, still very conflicted.

They still didn't want Shen Lingjun to marry a eunuch, but the other candidates also had many shortcomings. No one is perfect; they are just different people with different strengths and weaknesses.

Moreover, the two marriages they arranged for Shen Lingjun and Shen Jingyang were exceptionally bad, causing them to develop a serious lack of confidence in their own judgment.

Do they really think that a suitable son-in-law would be better?

The next morning, the two of them got up with huge dark circles under their eyes and sent someone to the Yongning Marquis's residence to summon Shen Lingjun and the twins, intending to ask for their opinions.

Shen Lingjun had originally planned to go to the Yongning Marquis's residence today and ask Madam Wen not to arrange any more matchmaking for her, but unexpectedly, Madam Wen sent someone to invite her first.

When she arrived at the Shen residence, she immediately saw the mountain of boxes piled up in the front yard. They couldn't fit inside the house, so they were piled up in the yard.

Shen Lingjun asked curiously, "Mother, what is all this stuff? Why is it here?"

Wen sighed, her heart heavy with sorrow.

"Come in, I was just about to tell you this."

In the main hall, once everyone had arrived, Madam Wen spoke to Shen Lingjun:

“Those are gifts from Chief Supervisor Mo. He came to propose marriage to us yesterday, saying he wants to marry you.”

Shen Lingjun: "......!!!"

Wen looked at Shen Lingjun with a conflicted expression.

"Lingjun, you're an adult now. This matter mainly depends on your own decision. What do you think of this marriage proposal with Chief Eunuch Mo?"
