MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 74 Looking for in-laws
Chapter 74 Looking for my husband’s family
Not long after, people from the fifth room gathered in the main room.
The fifth old man and the fifth old lady were sitting in the middle, but the fifth old lady’s arms were still wrapped with herbs.
She is also one of the great contributors to getting these one hundred taels this time.
Therefore, instead of yelling at her in the past, Mr. Wu gave her more of a good look.
Sitting on the right were the impatient Shang Yuding, his submissive wife Guo, and the unmarried Shang Qiniang, who also lowered their heads at the moment and did not show off.
As for those sitting on the left, Shang Yu'an and his wife Ni Shi, they didn't have any special expressions.
It's just that Wulang's wife deliberately held her waist, as if she wanted everyone to see her belly, which was not very pregnant, and she was a little proud.
After everyone had arrived, the fifth lady spoke.
"Whatever Wulang wants to say, please tell me quickly. The whole family is waiting."
Seeing her speak, Shang Wulang looked at Shang Qiniang excitedly, and then said.
“Seventh sister is lucky, your marriage is settled.”
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone looked at Shang Wulang.
As biological parents, Shang Yuding and his wife Guo Shi had some disbelief in their eyes.
The former thought that Shang Wulang could not be so kind and worry about his cousin's marriage, while the latter was surprised. Could it be that God had to pity the mother and daughter and give them a way to survive?
On the other hand, Wulang's wife frowned slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with her husband's regard for his second uncle's cousin.
It’s just that the people present are all elders, and it’s hard for her to show anything, so she can only use a handkerchief to cover her face with disdain.
Shang Qiniang, who was congratulated in person, had the character " fog " in her name.
Just from her name, it can be seen that her status is low and as dispensable as the white mist in the morning.
The five-bedroom house was restrained, and the Guo family was even more impoverished, so they had no good clothes or jewelry to use.
But even wearing outdated old clothes and ordinary hairpins can't hide her beautiful appearance and slender body.
She is indeed a beauty.
When she heard Shang Wulang's words, she lowered her head a little shyly, but there was a bit of excitement and worry in her eyes.
Thinking that you finally have a chance to escape from this family, but don’t know where you will end up in the future?
Because of this, I felt very complicated for a while.
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard Shang Wulang's words.
The first person to ask was the fifth old man.
“Wulang, who are you talking about?”
He actually doesn’t care about the family Qiniang will marry into. What matters most is how much dowry can be given?
That hibiscus ointment is a good treasure. Now he doesn’t have enough money to buy another box.
Hence, if he could send more betrothal gifts, he would naturally be happy to do so.
Hearing this, Shang Wulang immediately said with some pride.
“Prince Min’s Mansion!”
“What? The palace?”
When everyone heard this name, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Girls with three or five bedrooms married into very ordinary families, either in business, from a small family, or from out of town.
Except for Mrs. Shang becoming Princess Fu, it can be said that compared with her, these cousins are like clouds in the sky and mud on the ground.
However, will this great turnaround today also happen to their fifth family?
So, both of them asked excitedly.
"Is he the crown prince? Or are you talking about the prince's other children? Are you going to be a concubine? Or what? How much is the betrothal gift? When will the decision be made?"
A series of questions were asked by everyone.
Even Shang Qiniang’s eyes were full of surprise. She really didn't expect that she would be so lucky.
She couldn't help but feel happy when she thought that she had gone to Prince Fu's Mansion with Mrs. Wei a few years ago and had seen the life her eldest cousin was living now.
If she could live like that, she would be willing to pay any price.
“Okay, okay, let me speak first, don’t you? I don’t know who to answer to your question?”
Shang Wulang was a little proud, but he still suppressed the ecstasy that arose from the bottom of his heart.
He said immediately.
"He is not a prince, nor is he a concubine. If the seventh sister can get this opportunity, she will marry the serious Prince Min! She is really the prince's bed partner. Isn't it much better than those vain people?"
“Your Majesty?”
“But didn’t Prince Min just become Zhengshou not long ago? He is several years older than me!”
The one who spoke was Shang Yuding. It was about his daughter, so he finally spoke up.
As soon as he spoke, Mrs. Guo couldn't help crying.
She was afraid of being beaten, so she didn’t dare to speak casually.
Now that her daughter is going to marry a man who is almost older than her grandfather, no mother can accept it.
What's more, although she didn't know much about what was going on in Prince Min's palace, she had never heard of the death of Princess Min.
That means that she is still a concubine after marrying her, which Mrs. Guo cannot accept even more.
Shang Qiniang on the side seemed to be frightened and did not make a sound.
After all, God still doesn’t want to and is unwilling to favor the people in their house.
Tears flowed silently down my cheeks, and I was greatly disappointed.
On the other hand, Wulang's wife saw the tears of mother and daughter. Now she and her husband were on the same line, so she rushed to comfort them.
“Second aunt and seventh sister, please stop crying. Since Wu Lang said it’s a good match, let’s listen further.”
As soon as she opened her mouth, a cold light suddenly emitted from Shang Yuding's frowning eyes, which were always filled with wine, **** and money.
Hunted coldly and said to Wu Lang's wife.
“I dare to tell you that it’s not our fifth wife, but you will find a way out for your husband.”
Wulang's wife was robbed of her advantage by the second uncle's words, and her face turned red immediately.
No matter how unconvinced she was, she was still an elder, so she could only sit down angrily, tossing the handkerchief around to vent her anger.
Shang Wulang on the side saw it and wanted to vent his anger on his wife, so he spoke to Shang Yuding.
“Second uncle, don’t worry, the highlight is yet to come. My wife is doing this for my own good, so don’t be offended.”
Shang Wulang glanced at her, and Wulang's wife's eyes were also full of affection.
It's a pity that this model is so affectionate in everyone's eyes, but it is not worth the importance of Qiniang's wedding.
The first person to break the deadlock was Mrs. Wu. She must still have the slightest pity for her granddaughter.
So he asked with a frown on his face.
"Wu Lang, don't be too secretive. Tell me quickly. How can we still have a good marriage?"
“Grandma, do you know how much the bride price will be if you take this noble concubine from the Min Palace?”
The fifth old lady shook her head, and the others also didn't understand.
“Ten thousand taels, exactly ten thousand taels.”
When hearing this, everyone present took a breath of air.
