Chapter 62 Do You Know? 16
Sheng Changfeng looked at the list again carefully. Apart from Wen Yanjing, he didn't recognize the rest of the list. Gu guessed that they wouldn't amount to much in the future, so there was no need to look at it anymore.
"Let's forget about the others. Among them, only Wen Yanjing has some talent. However, not only is his family poor, but more importantly, his mother is not easy to get along with. His future wife will inevitably suffer a lot from her mother-in-law's nagging."
Hearing him say this, Lin Xiaoniang naturally believed him. Unlike her, who was trapped in the backyard and couldn't leave, her son's information was naturally much more reliable than hers. She clapped her hands and said:
“Of course I look down on this Wen Yanjing, but your father thinks highly of him, saying that he is very knowledgeable and will surely have a great future, and wants to marry your sister to him.”
At this point, she complained to Sheng Changfeng, "You are Mo'er's own brother, so you should also care about your sister's affairs. Don't run around outside all day."
"Don't worry, my dear sister. Mo Lan is my own sister, and of course I want her to have a good life in the future."
Sheng Changfeng took out several documents from his sleeve and gave them to Lin Xiaoniang: "The list of eligible men in Bianliang City who are not yet married, of good family background, wealthy family, and good looks is all here. You can choose whichever you like. As long as you can pick one, I will naturally find a way to make the other party come to propose marriage."
To prevent Mo Lan from falling into the Liang family's trap again, he had already begun to think about Mo Lan's future marriage. Knowing that Lin Xiaoniang had suffered a lot of hardship due to her father's influence when she was young, she was determined to find her daughter a wealthy and powerful family so that she would not have to worry about money in the future, and that the family would not decline rapidly due to any setbacks or turmoil.
Therefore, the families he chose were all sons of high-ranking and wealthy families.
Lin Xiaoniang opened the booklet and looked at it carefully from top to bottom. She saw that the candidates listed were indeed all top-notch, and there were even a few families that she wouldn't have dared to even think about.
He thought to himself that men are indeed careless. Although these are all good families and their daughters would be good to marry, why would they be willing to marry the daughter of a minor official?
However, seeing how much he had gone to for Mo Lan, he felt quite gratified. But seeing his arrogant appearance, he couldn't help but smile. He casually flipped through a page in the booklet and couldn't help but tease him, "What a boastful person! Could it be that this company is also capable?"
Sheng Changfeng took the booklet and saw that it belonged to the second son of a member of the imperial clan, a descendant of the Taizu lineage. Although he was not destined for the throne, he was highly regarded by the emperor. This second son was also of good character, so he was considered a good match.
Most importantly, although this family is related to the imperial clan, they are usually low-key, humble and polite, never forming cliques or engaging in private affairs, and they do not associate with the Prince of Yan or the Prince of Yong. Marrying with them would not arouse the suspicion of outsiders.
Even if Sheng Hong prides himself on his family's integrity and doesn't want to associate with the royal family, he would most likely not refuse this marriage proposal.
Most importantly, this relative was secretly a member of the Prince of Yan's faction. On the surface, they did not want to get involved in the struggle for the throne, but in secret, they had already quietly chosen their side and were silently providing assistance to the Prince of Yan.
What a coincidence!
He thought about it for a moment.
"Is the young lady really made up her mind? There are many secrets in the underworld among the imperial relatives. Although this is the second son of the legitimate wife, he is still a member of the royal family."
Lin Xiaoniang assumed he was feeling guilty and continued jokingly, "If Mo'er could marry into this family and become their principal wife, that would be wonderful, of course."
Lin Xiaoniang said it casually and forgot about it afterward, but Sheng Changfeng took it seriously.
He certainly wouldn't rashly go to someone's door to propose marriage; if he did, they would definitely kick him out.
What kind of family background does someone have to covet the legitimate son of the royal family?
Besides, his parents are both alive, so it's not his place to go and arrange a marriage for his sister.
Furthermore, if the Prince of Yan had such a shortcut, why would he bother to do it himself?
It's time to ask the Prince of Yan for help and show our loyalty.
For so long, he had been advising the Prince of Yan without seeking fame or profit. If this continued, the Prince of Yan would inevitably suspect his ulterior motives.
This request for help has reassured the King of Yan.
As expected, when the Prince of Yan heard him mention that his younger sister was still unmarried and wanted to ask him to arrange a marriage for her, he was overjoyed.
Since Sheng Changfeng joined him, he has been without desire or expectation of anything, and he has no excuse to do him any favors. Between the two of them, he has always been in a passive state of accepting the other party's benefits.
The more capable Sheng Changfeng was, the more uncertain he felt. He feared that if too much time passed, the other party would become disheartened due to the lack of returns and would stop assisting him.
Mo Lan's marriage provided him with a convenient excuse to do a favor. Since Sheng Changfeng had taken the initiative to ask for his help, it wasn't a difficult matter. Moreover, since he valued people from his own faction, it was incredibly easy to handle. Furthermore, once the matter was resolved, the two sides would have a closer relationship, which would bring many benefits. Naturally, he readily agreed.
They even felt more at ease entrusting Sheng Changfeng with important responsibilities after discovering that he was not a saint without desires and had weaknesses.
The Prince of Yan took this matter to heart, knowing that it was not good to let everyone know about his relationship with that royal family and the Sheng family, so everything was arranged in secret.
While Lin Xiaoniang was still worrying about Sheng Molan's marriage, Sheng Changfeng had already taken care of it.
"I've taken care of my sister's matter." Sheng Changfeng held a cup of tea and slowly savored it.
"What is it?" Lin Xiaoniang was full of questions; she had already forgotten what she had said that day.
Mo Lan, who was serving tea, quickly came over and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"That day, didn't my mother say that she wanted my sister to marry into the Prince Xin's family? I've already taken care of it, and his family will be coming back to propose marriage soon."
"Ah!" Mo Lan exclaimed with great joy, but then she was surprised that her brother had brought up her marriage directly. She blushed with embarrassment.
Lin Xiaoniang's heart skipped a beat, and she grabbed Sheng Changfeng, saying, "The royal family would take a liking to Mo'er? Are you going to send Mo'er to their family as a concubine to secure your future?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Lan's face turned deathly pale, and then she realized what was happening.
Even though Prince Xin is not as prominent as other noble families now, he is still a member of the royal family. The Sheng family has no connection with Prince Xin, so why would he take a liking to her for no reason?
Seeing Lin Xiaoniang's anxious appearance, Sheng Changfeng couldn't help but sigh at the boundless love and concern of parents!
Although Lin Qinshuang had flaws in her character, she ultimately did nothing wrong in her treatment of her children.
"Don't be anxious, little mother! How could I let my sister become a concubine?" Sheng Changfeng quickly reassured the mother and daughter, then stood up, looked at the scenery by the window, and said proudly:
“My sister will naturally be the principal wife, otherwise all my planning over this period of time would have been in vain. Mother and sister, you just need to wait. In less than five days, the Lady of Xin County will definitely come to the Sheng family to propose marriage and ask for my sister to marry into the family.”
"Is that really true!"
"Just you wait and see!"
Lin Xiaoniang and Sheng Molan exchanged a glance. They both saw the unease in each other.
