The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again!

412 Parents’ Orders and Matchmaker’s Words

Madam Qiao’s face turned completely cold, she said sternly, “No, no, I can’t let my daughter suffer such grievances. I don’t know who Madam Kou has found, but they still delude themselves with the thought of marrying our daughter off. It’s simply wishful thinking.”

Imperial Duke Zhan saw that Madam Qiao was angry, and he was afraid that she would get angry and quickly advised, “Don’t worry, as long as Xue’er doesn’t want to, no one can be our son-in-law. Xue’er, I’ve asked around for you. Madam Kou found a merchant family, the Young Master of the Mu family, Mu Chengyao.”

Hearing this, Gu Qingxue raised her brows in surprise. “I’ve also heard of the Mu family.”

Gu Qingxue had heard of the Mu family before, not because she had deliberately tried to understand them, but because the Mu family’s business was spread all over the country. They even had trade relations with neighboring countries. It could be said that their wealth was comparable to that of a country’s.

“Why would such a family want to marry me?” Gu Qingxue wasn’t underestimating herself, but no matter what, she was still a widow with three children. With Mu Chengyao’s identity and family background, he could even marry a concubine’s daughter of an official’s family. Why would he marry a woman who was already married and had children?

“Naturally, it’s because of your medical skills. Xue’er, don’t forget that you’re the hero who solved the plague. Once you marry into the Mu family, they’ll definitely make a big deal out of your matter. At that time, they’ll be able to use your reputation to sell all kinds of medicine.” Imperial Duke Zhan said expressionlessly.

The more Madam Qiao heard, the angrier she got, “When the time comes, as long as the Gu family touches the light, they can also earn a pot full of money.” This group of people, they really have a good plan!”

“Not only that, but Mu Chengyao agreed to this marriage for another reason. It was because of your beauty,” Imperial Duke Zhan said slowly.

Gu Qingxue raised her brows.

Madam Qiao asked in disbelief, “You mean, this Mu Chengyao is also very lecherous?”

“I don’t know if he’s lecherous or not, but I know that he has nineteen concubines in his harem, all of which were taken in by him when he traveled to the north and south to do business. Every time, if he’s not doing a good deed, he’ll save people from fire and water, causing all his concubines to love him so much that they’ll die for him,” Imperial Duke Zhan said with a deep look in his eyes.

“He has so many concubines, but can he take care of all of them?” Madam Qiao just thought of so many concubines living in the courtyard and felt a burst of headache.

“A man like this won’t mind having too many women. Moreover, he should be someone who is very good at pleasing women. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left the position of the main wife empty until now with so many concubines,” Gu Qingxue said slowly.

She had lived for two lifetimes. Although she had no interest in love, she had seen many men and women who wandered between different members of the opposite sex.

There was a type of person who was born to like the opposite sex and could successfully play with the opposite sex with ease.

Mu Chengyao had such a capability, which was enough to show that he was not a good person.

Madam Qiao could not help but spit. “This kind of indecent man should be dragged into a pig cage. When I went to the Gu family, I didn’t know about this matter. If I had known about it in advance, I would have asked Madam Kou about it no matter what. What face did they have to arrange a marriage for Xue’er?”

“It’s the parents’ order and the matchmaker’s words. Although Madam Kou isn’t Xue’er’s biological mother, she’s Xue’er’s stepmother. As long as she wanted to, she can privately arrange a marriage for Xue’er. It’s not something rare,” Imperial Duke Zhan said.
