Chapter 335: I don't think he's a real benefactor

And this young general sitting there, although he seemed to be having a good time on the surface, a closer look revealed that he was not fitting in very well. When other soldiers looked at him, there was an unconscious alienation in their eyes, and conversations were mostly perfunctory and superficial.

Teng Qisheng was sipping the wine alone, but he was a little absent-minded. He was the eldest son of Marquis Wenchang and his family had high hopes for him. He would definitely inherit the title in the future. He went to the battlefield to gild himself better. This time when he came back, both inheriting the title and his career would be much smoother.

He was well aware of the estrangement of his colleagues, but he didn't care. They had different family backgrounds and their future statuses would naturally be different. So what if they were estranged? He didn't care.

There is also Prince Yun. He has been trying to curry favor with him for several years but has not been able to get in touch with him. Now he has calmed down. After all, there are many young masters from aristocratic families in Kyoto who cannot get along with Prince Yun, so one more would not make much difference.

He had endured several years on the battlefield, and even if he had no merit, he had worked hard. This time he came back to be promoted and get married. Logically, it should be a time of high spirits, but the difficulty lay in his marriage.

Originally, he should have been married a long time ago, but when he was engaged, there was a rumor that it would be very disadvantageous for a woman to get married and have children too early, both for herself and her offspring. This was a foregone conclusion with the emperor's approval and the royal physician's testimony, so no one dared to be careless. For the sake of his offspring, his marriage was naturally postponed.

After that, he went to the battlefield. Now, several years have passed and he has achieved success. This time when he came back, marriage is naturally on the agenda. After all, his fiancée has been waiting for him for several years and is not young anymore.

People say that rich families marry women while poor families marry daughters. He is the eldest son in the family, so naturally his marriage is not bad. His family has arranged for him to marry the eldest daughter of the Duke of Xunguo. Not only is the title of the Duke of Xunguo higher than that of their family, but the official position in the court is also real. Such a family background will definitely help him in his career in the future.

Duke Xun also contributed to his ability to live comfortably on the battlefield and return unscathed. He was originally quite satisfied with this marriage. Most of the marriages of children from noble families are between strong couples. The eldest daughter of Duke Xun is beautiful and well-mannered. She will definitely be a qualified wife of the clan in the future. He is naturally satisfied with it.

With the young lady of the Duke Xun's mansion around, he won't have to worry about the affairs of the harem in the future. He can focus on the court and make great achievements. But this was his previous idea. Now that he has met his sweetheart, he knows that men and women can not only be well-matched and arranged by a matchmaker, but can also be in harmony with each other and support each other.

He met the woman he loved outside, and naturally wanted to give her the best. The Xunguo Mansion helped him a lot, and the engagement had been going on for such a long time, it was not something that could be cancelled easily. But he could never let his beloved woman become his concubine.

He only hoped that the eldest daughter of Duke Xun's Mansion would be magnanimous and agree to let him marry Wu'er as his co-wife, so that he would love her more in the future. Otherwise, she is so old now, and who else would be willing to marry her except him? She would probably have to give up her hair and become a nun. He was so magnanimous, and he only hoped that she would treat Wu'er better in the future and never let Wu'er suffer any grievances.

Only in this way could he hand over the management power of the mansion to her.

"What did you say? A co-wife? You come here and say you want to marry an orphan girl of unknown origin as your co-wife, and you even need to notify the Xunguo Mansion? What do you think the Xunguo Mansion is? You can notify her if you want. The girl has been waiting for you for several years, and you want to marry her as your co-wife when you come back."

"Are you brainless or don't know your own weight? You dare to say anything. I tell you that I don't agree. Even taking her as a concubine is not allowed! Send her back to where she came from. Don't let me see her!"

Lord Yin was so angry that he almost fainted. Originally, he was very happy that his eldest son had returned. After all, he had been a man with military merits. Even if his talent was mediocre, he could inherit the title and get married in the future. With the help of his in-laws, as long as he didn't make any big mistakes, his career would be smooth sailing!

Now that this brat has come back and wants to marry a concubine, what does he think of the Xunguo Mansion? This is such a great humiliation that ordinary families cannot bear, let alone the Xunguo Mansion. Does he want to make an enemy, or even a mortal enemy? This rebellious son went out and left his brain outside and didn't bring it back?

"Dad, Wu'er is my beloved girl, we must be together. Besides, isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? If Miss Yin from the Xunguo Mansion disagrees, she is jealous, and jealousy is a violation of the seven reasons for divorce. I don't want such a jealous woman."

Teng Qisheng said angrily that other people had three wives and four concubines, and brought concubines into the mansion in droves, but he only wanted Wu'er, and she should be content even if she was a girl from the Duke of Xun's mansion.

"You... do you want to piss me off to death? It's impossible. Your wife is only Miss Yin. You can't take her as a concubine or a co-wife."

Lord Yin wanted to open the head of this rebellious son to see what was inside. How could three wives and four concubines be the same as a concubine? Moreover, he wanted to marry a concubine before his wife was even married, and she was an orphan with an unknown identity. This was a slap in the face of the Duke Xun's Mansion. Would they agree?

Besides, he had begged for this marriage at the cost of his reputation. Now that the situation was like this, he didn’t know how to explain it to the Xunguo Mansion.

"Take that woman out of the house right now and tell her to get out of here as far away as possible. Don't let me see her again. And you, make preparations and marry Miss Yin as soon as possible."

"Dad........." Teng Qisheng was unwilling.

"Get lost........." Lord Yin was angry.

Jiang Wanwu, who was sitting in the main hall, appeared weak on the surface, but was actually secretly observing the surrounding environment. This was indeed a wealthy family in Kyoto. Looking at this magnificent mansion, any item taken out of it could probably buy their village. It seemed that she had made the right bet this time. This Teng Qisheng was not bad, but it was a pity for that Prince Yun.

I heard that he has a more noble status and is more handsome, so he is a better choice. Unfortunately, he is really difficult to approach. I don’t know if he has any treasure on him. Even her poisonous insect couldn’t make him fall victim.

Fortunately, there is Teng Qisheng, who is not bad and just meets her standards. She will be able to live a life of wealth and enjoyment in the future.

The lady of the Marquis's mansion who was in charge of reception saw that the woman in front of her looked weak but her eyes kept darting around, with a look of greed that almost spread to the entire hall. Her impression of her immediately dropped to the bottom. She felt that this kind of thing was not a lifesaver and she didn't think she was a real benefactor.

Fortunately, he is not his son’s savior, otherwise, it would be difficult to get rid of him!
