Chapter 654: Abandoned Daughter
Butler Fan looked at the three people and said awkwardly.
"Mrs. Zhong, which one is the legitimate daughter..."
Old Lady Zhong pointed at Zhong Huiyin who was standing to one side, and then said, "Although there is another engagement...but it was just cancelled today..."
After listening to this, Butler Fan nodded and said, "That shouldn't be the case..."
As he said this, he looked at the other three concubines.
To be honest, Butler Fan was not very satisfied with these three concubines...
These three concubines seem very ordinary.
Butler Fan had worked in the Zhai family for his entire life, and he could tell at a glance that the three women were not easy to deal with...
However, the eldest daughter who is in the lead does fit the bill.
However, the daughter of the firstborn has an engagement, even if she breaks off the engagement today...
It couldn't be her...
The Zhai family would never do something like snatching a wedding...
Seeing this, Old Lady Zhong said to Butler Fan, "Butler Fan, I wonder which one your Fourteenth Master has taken a fancy to..."
Butler Fan said to Old Lady Zhong, "Old Lady Zhong, I was too excited... I didn't come out to ask about this matter... But the daughter of the Zhong family is definitely not wrong... So, you guys accept the betrothal gifts first... After I go back and ask clearly, I will send someone to pass the news to you. What do you think, Old Lady Zhong?"
After listening to this, Old Lady Zhong smiled and said, "Okay...Okay...Let's do as Butler Fan says..."
Butler Fan said to Old Lady Zhong, "Then I will take my leave first... I'll ask you to take care of these things first..."
After finishing speaking, Zhong Nantian sent someone to send him out...
At this moment, the wives of several rooms all had arrogant expressions on their faces.
Old Lady Zhong's attitude towards them has also improved a lot...
"Tell me what you all can tell now... who hooked up with the Fourteenth Master of the Zhai family..." Old Lady Zhong said.
In fact, Wang Shufen at the side said, "Oh, old lady, you said it's too bad to hook up this time..."
"That's right... Old Madam, you are not mistreating our daughter... You are mistreating the future daughter-in-law of the Zhai family..."
"Although he is an adopted son, the housekeeper also said... that adopted son is as close to him as his own son. Moreover, he has thirteen biological sons, but only one adopted son... Moreover, I heard that this adopted son saved Mr. Zhai's life... He is indebted to him for saving his life..." Zhang Rou said on the side.
After listening to the three people's words, Old Lady Zhong said, "What I want to ask is, among the three of you, who has won the favor of the Fourteenth Master..."
Zhong Weiwei said, "Grandma, it must be me...Except for Zhong Huiyin, I am the eldest daughter...It must be me..."
"Okay, why don't you look in the mirror... No matter how old you are, you are still a concubine's daughter... Fourteenth Master, it must be me that you have taken a fancy to... After all, in terms of appearance, I am considered to be one of the best in the entire Lingshan City..." Zhong Xinran said.
"How can you be so shameless... Do you know who the Fourteenth Master is? You never go out of the house all day... How does the Fourteenth Master know you... It must be that after my poems were spread, the Fourteenth Master took a fancy to them... and then sent someone to arrange an engagement... " Zhong Rourou said.
After hearing Zhong Rourou's words, Zhong Weiwei and Zhong Xinran said in unison, "You know him..."
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Zhang Rou said, "Old Madam, the most important thing... is not who is chosen... No matter which girl is chosen... our Zhong family will be the biggest beneficiary... So, we can't let the cancellation of the engagement happen again..."
After Zhang Rou finished speaking, Old Lady Zhong couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are quite smart... You are right... No matter which branch of your family you belong to, as long as you marry into the Zhai family..."
"Did you three hear me clearly? If anything unexpected happens... I will make sure you guys are responsible..."
At this time, Liu Bei said to Old Lady Zhong, " Old Lady , in fact, you should not say this to us... but to Huiyin... Huiyin is an unfaithful woman who has kept a man outside... and the master acquiesced... The Zhai family is a famous and prestigious family... and they cannot tolerate any injustice... If this news is known to the Zhai family... it will inevitably affect our reputation..."
After hearing what Liu Bei said, Old Lady Zhong nodded repeatedly and said, "You are right..."
At this time, Zhong Nantian came out and said, "What nonsense are you talking about... Is that Huiyin's zither player? Also, don't think too much... How can a concubine's daughter marry before the legitimate daughter does?"
Liu Bei came out at this time, looking at Zhong Nantian's expression, and couldn't help but say, "Master, you are right... This is indeed inappropriate... So, I think... You might as well demote Zhong Huiyin to a concubine's daughter... The other three are considered legitimate daughters... This way, the Zhai family will have face... and we will also comply with the etiquette..."
"Fart...you are..."
Old Lady Zhong didn't wait for Zhong Nantian to lose his temper. She smiled faintly and said, "Nantian, don't act on impulse... I know you prefer Huiyin... But you have to consider the overall situation... You know, no matter what Huiyin is like now, she is still a girl whose engagement has been broken off. And there are endless rumors... You know better than me who the man you are hiding in the restaurant is..."
"So it's okay to let Huiyin become a concubine's daughter... Anyway, Housekeeper Fan just said that it will definitely not be Huiyin. Rather than letting this unsafe factor affect this marriage with the Zhai family... we must nip all unstable factors in the bud..."
"Zhong Huiyin, you told me so many great truths yesterday... Now it's your turn to make a real contribution to the family. See if you agree..."
Zhong Huiyin didn't even think about it, and then said, "Grandma, I'm willing to do anything... It's just the identity of a legitimate daughter... I can..."
Old Lady Zhong looked at Zhong Huiyin and said in surprise, "Okay... I underestimated you... Nantian, now Huiyin has agreed... do you have any objections? I don't mind if you want to protect him... but if you want to affect the future of our Zhong family... I will be the first to disagree..."
When Zhong Nantian heard what Old Lady Zhong said, he frowned and said, "Make them all legitimate daughters... I can't have three wives..."
Old Lady Zhong said to Zhong Nantian, "Put them all on my knees, that's fine..."
After listening to this, Zhong Nantian nodded...
