The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Lord Wen didn't ask her to get up, and directly asked, "What's all the commotion outside? Didn't the Second Madam teach you any manners?"

Miss Wen trembled slightly. Although she had come over to fight for herself, she was still a little afraid of her uncle. If it weren't for her future well-being, how could she have dared to risk everything?

Thinking that she was still in a half-squatting position, she decided to go all out and stand up straight. "Uncle, Xiao Si has come to ask you to grant me your wish."

Looking at Miss Wen's appearance, Du Mingxian sighed softly in her heart. Why choose a difficult path when there are good families available? It's truly a case of good advice being useless against a damned ghost.

Let go of the need to help others and respect the fate of others.

Lord Wen frowned deeply. "What do you mean by this? The family I chose for you was personally vetted by me. Are you looking down on them?"

"Xiao Si only wants to enter the Third Prince's harem, she doesn't want to marry into another family."

The room was in an orderly fashion. Lord Wen looked at her with a deep gaze. Seeing this, Du Mingxian spoke up to remind her, "Fourth sister, if you marry directly into the scholar's family, you will be the principal wife. If you enter the Third Prince's harem, you can only be a concubine."

If the eldest daughter of the Wen family were to enter the Third Prince's household, she would likely become his principal wife. However, a concubine's daughter like Miss Wen, born out of wedlock, would only become a concubine, at most a little higher in status than an ordinary concubine, and wouldn't even be able to become a secondary consort.

“Of course I know, but my elder sister should also know that he is just a scholar, nothing at all, a commoner.”

"He has already passed the county-level imperial examination and will definitely pass the provincial-level examination in the future." He will even hold a high-ranking official position, and his character is also very good.

Miss Wen was not listening to anything right now, and she got a little angry when Du Mingxian tried to persuade her. "What you said makes sense, but what if? Who can say for sure that he will pass the exam? There are plenty of people who fail the exam."

Seeing her like this, Du Mingxian simply stopped trying to persuade her and shut her mouth.

That stubborn woman! She was just saying to put aside her desire to help others and respect their fate, and then she turns around and tries to persuade them. How can she possibly persuade them?

At this moment, Madam Wen the Second and Master Wen the Second rushed over, as did Madam Wen the Third and Master Wen the Third.

Madam Wen the Second is now in charge of the inner courtyard. When she learned that Miss Wen the Fourth had come to Lord Wen to make a scene, she immediately became anxious. Such matters should be handled by Miss Wen the Fourth, and Madam Wen should be the one to come to her for advice, rather than by a concubine's daughter directly causing trouble in front of the head of the family.

Madam Wen was even more anxious. She knew what the head of the family meant, and she had already spoken to the girl, but the girl wouldn't listen at all. She never expected the girl to come all the way here.

When Lord Wen saw his two younger brothers and their wives rushing over, he waved his hand and said, "Since you're all here, sit down and listen."

The group sat down somewhat nervously.

Madam Wen even looked to Du Mingxian for help, hoping that Du Mingxian could help her. Now that she was in charge of the household, she was afraid that she might not be able to continue her management duties after such an incident.

Du Mingxian gave her a reassuring look. She understood what Madam Wen was worried about, but Madam Wen was worrying for nothing.

Given the current situation at home, Old Madam Wen certainly can't manage the household, and Cheng Yu is even less of a concern, as there are only a few people in the family.

If this had happened before she was married, the power to manage the household affairs would definitely have fallen into her hands. But since she is about to get married, the power to manage the household affairs cannot be given to her.

The third wife is even more lenient than the second wife, so it's impossible for her to manage the household, nor is it possible for any of the concubines to manage it. The younger brother-in-law hasn't married yet, so it can only be the second wife.

Madam Wen was extremely anxious, but seeing Du Mingxian's calm demeanor and considering the situation at home, she calmed down after analyzing the situation.

"Say what you just said again," Lord Wen said, looking at Miss Wen.

Miss Wen knew she had no way out. If she backed down now, what would be the point of her persistence? Even if she were willing to marry the scholar now, it wouldn't work.

That scholar is no good at all; he doesn't even have a father. It's just not right for him.

"I want to enter the Third Prince's residence, not marry the scholar my uncle arranged for me."

"You should really think about what your older sister said earlier." Lord Wen still wanted to give the child a chance. He wouldn't have cared about others, but since they were family, he wanted to give them another helping hand.

Miss Wen felt wronged. "I know that my uncle loves my eldest sister. Even if my eldest sister is not my uncle's biological child, he still treats her as his own. But my marriage is such a big event, it's the most important thing in my life, how can it be done so hastily?"

“That scholar is nothing, he only has the title of Xiucai now, and no one knows what his future holds. How could I possibly marry such a person? Please, Uncle, grant my request.”

Lord Wen stopped speaking, and Madam Wen was furious. She stood up and was about to hit someone, but Second Master Wen stopped her first, saying, "Let's talk this out."

Madam Wen was trembling with anger. "What are you saying? Do you think she's even listening to anything I say?"

"The family my elder brother chose for her was carefully selected. How could it be wrong? That scholar must be very promising for my elder brother to make such an arrangement. Otherwise, why would he choose her?"

“Listen to what she’s saying now. She’s obsessed with getting into the Third Prince’s residence. We’ve told her repeatedly that it’s not appropriate for the Wen family to be associated with the royal family right now. Did she listen?”

Madam Wen was also angry, but she lowered her head silently. She had raised this illegitimate daughter well, but her temperament... she really didn't know how she had become like this.

She had already given the order that Xiao Si must marry the scholar, because it was the head of the family's arrangement, but Xiao Si really wouldn't listen at all.

Second Master Wen was also angry. "Little Fourth, have you thought this through? If you enter the Third Prince's residence, it will be the same as severing ties with your family."

This is not what Miss Wen wanted to see. What woman can have a good life in her husband's family without her own family? Besides, her uncle is a minister. If she didn't have her family as a backer, she probably wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the Third Prince's mansion.

"I'm willing to enter the Third Prince's residence and sever ties with my family, but could you please not tell anyone about this?"

As long as no one tells anyone, people will think she is still the fourth young lady of the Wen family. Even if she is born out of wedlock, she is still much better than many others, and the third prince will look at her with more respect.

As long as she pretends well enough, she can have another son in a year or two. At that time, whether she has a maternal family or not won't be a big problem. Besides, if she has a child, and the Third Prince really ascends to the throne, her maternal family will come to her aid.
