Chapter 365: One Arrow, Three Eagles
Wen Xianglian sent a visiting card and received a reply the next day.
Mrs. Jiao did not meet Wen Xianglian until two days later.
At first, Mrs. Jiao didn't have a good attitude towards Wen Xianglian.
Wen Xianglian first apologized humbly and praised Mrs. Jiao.
He also kept emphasizing that he and his wife were very optimistic about the young master, but the old lady of the Earl's Mansion and the prince's siblings were not willing to do so.
Mrs. Jiao's expression improved a little after being praised by Wen Xianglian.
"If they don't want to, then what are you doing here?"
"Although our Jiao family is not a marquis or earl's family, we are also a first-class family in the capital."
"To put it bluntly, if my son hadn't fallen in love with your stepdaughter, he would have insisted on marrying her."
She curled her lips and said, "Otherwise, I really don't like your stepdaughter."
Wu Zhiheng's current position was quite important, and he also had a title, which was why he barely caught her eye.
Otherwise, she wanted to find a wife for her son who came from a better family background.
But his son fell in love with the girl from the Wu family at first sight.
Her family lowered their status and took the initiative to propose marriage, and they had already reached the stage of matching horoscopes and getting engaged.
Who would have known that the old lady of the Bo's Mansion was actually unwilling to marry her granddaughter to her son.
The Wu siblings also looked down on her son and called him a playboy.
This made her very angry, and she no longer mentioned the marriage.
After all, her son was of noble birth, but he was a little playful, so the girl from the Wu family looked down on her son.
She even looked down on that damn girl who killed her own mother.
The marriage fell through and her son kept making a fuss.
It also made her dislike the girl from the Wu family even more.
Wen Xianglian’s visit today is definitely not just a simple visit.
She knew that Wen Xianglian had a bad relationship with her stepson and stepdaughter.
Plus, what I usually say tends to please her.
That's why I met him reluctantly.
Wen Xianglian smiled and said, "That's not the case."
"Our family can marry into the Jiao family, which is already marrying up."
"The young master has outstanding looks and temperament, but he just likes to play a little. How can he be compared with those dandies?"
"My stepdaughter is just too proud and arrogant."
"I'm not trying to belittle her, but with her status, if she doesn't marry the young master, she will definitely not be able to marry into a better family."
"Her father and I wanted to arrange this marriage for her own good, but who knew that the siblings would not appreciate it."
She knew what Mrs. Jiao liked to hear.
Although she also despised Mrs. Jiao's youngest son in her heart, who was not only lustful and lustful, but also proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
He is a well-known playboy in the capital.
If it were her daughter, she would definitely not marry such a man.
But because the person he was marrying was her stepdaughter, whom she regarded as a thorn in her side, she spoke against her conscience and did not feel there was anything wrong with it.
Sure enough, these words made Mrs. Jiao feel a lot better.
"That's right. If she wants to climb up the social ladder, she should also consider her status, appearance and talent."
"My son is more than worthy of her."
In her eyes, her precious son is worthy of a princess.
She looked at Wen Xianglian and asked, "What exactly did you come here for today? Just tell me."
Wen Xianglian stopped beating around the bush and said, "Madam, I heard that the young master is still thinking about my stepdaughter."
"Since he likes it, I think why not fulfill his wish?"
Madam Jiao raised her eyebrows, "How can we make it happen? Your mother-in-law and stepdaughter don't want to."
Wen Xianglian chuckled and said, "If they don't want to, then find a way to force them to agree."
Madam Jiao said disdainfully: "Forget it, I really don't like that girl of yours now."
"I'm currently helping my son find another family with a lady who has a better family background and better looks than your stepdaughter."
This is not to deceive Wen Xianglian.
Before, their family took the initiative, but the Wu family was disgusted.
Now that the Wu family wants to take the initiative, won’t their family be disgusted?
Wen Xianglian became anxious and then came up with a solution.
She whispered, "Since the young master likes it, you don't want to marry my stepdaughter as your daughter-in-law."
"Then I think it's okay to let her be your son's concubine."
Madam Jiao was stunned for a moment, "Become a concubine?"
"No matter what, your family is also a count's family. How can it be possible for your legitimate daughter to become my son's concubine?"
She added: "Your mother-in-law and step-sons and step-daughters would object to my son's marriage, and they would be even more opposed to my becoming a concubine."
Otherwise, it would be nice to let that dead girl be her son's concubine.
On the one hand, it satisfied her son's wish and stopped him from making trouble.
Secondly, it can also humiliate that dead girl.
She looked down on her son before, but this time she felt that he was out of her reach.
Even if she was a noble concubine, she was still a concubine not presentable enough.
Wen Xianglian knew at a glance that Mrs. Jiao had an idea.
She took the initiative to move forward and said, "I have a way to make her become your son's concubine."
"And then it will be her, not your son, who will be discredited."
"Besides, I heard that you really dislike Qiao Ye."
"Then we can use this incident to involve Qiao Ye."
"If Qiao Ye's reputation is ruined, not only will she be embarrassed, but her godmother will also be embarrassed."
"My mother-in-law and stepson care about my stepdaughter the most. If she, a young lady from the Bo Mansion, has to come to the Jiao Mansion to be a concubine, it's all because of Qiao Ye."
"Then I will definitely not let Qiao Ye go."
"We can kill three birds with one stone."
That stepdaughter is so arrogant and proud that she doesn't have much respect for her stepmother, so she just lets her be a lowly concubine. Humph.
When Mrs. Jiao heard this, she asked with a playful smile, "That sounds quite interesting."
"If you have any ideas, just tell me."
Wen Xianglian came close to Mrs. Jiao and told her her plan.
Mrs. Jiao chuckled after hearing this and said, "This is a good idea."
"Then it's up to you."
Obviously, Wen Xianglian's idea was very much to Mrs. Jiao's liking.
She added, "It just so happens that my eldest daughter-in-law's birthday is in a few days."
"I asked her to hold a birthday party at home and invite all the ladies to be guests."
"When the time comes, you can bring your stepdaughter with you, and I will ask my eldest daughter-in-law to send an invitation to Qiao Ye."
Wen Xianglian knew that Mrs. Jiao would not refuse.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely bring my daughter to visit you that day."
After chatting for a while, Wen Xianglian left tactfully.
After she left, Madam Jiao asked the trusted nanny, "What do you think of her suggestion?"
The old maid smiled and said, "I think it's great."
"As long as it succeeds, Qiao Ye and the girl from the Wu family will have no chance of having an easy life."
"The girl from the Wu family refused the marriage proposal before, which made you feel uncomfortable."
"When she comes to the mansion and becomes a concubine, you can do whatever you want with her."
"Qiao Ye is the same, shameless."
"I have to teach her a lesson anyway."
These words touched Mrs. Jiao's heart.
The dead girl from the Wu family looked down on her son before.
When it falls into her hands later, I’ll see if she won’t torture that shameless girl to death.
The same goes for Qiao Ye.
She waved her hand and ordered, "Okay, then you can follow what Wen Xianglian said and make the arrangements."
"Call the eldest daughter-in-law over. I'll have her send invitations to all the ladies in the next two days."
The old lady bowed and said, "Yes!"
