Chapter 832: The Disabled Young Master 45
Li Shuai had grown up in a brothel from a young age, so naturally he knew quite a lot, while these two women had been trained just as thoroughly. Thus, when the two sides came together, it was practically a clash between experts, and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
After that first time, Li Shuai became somewhat unable to tear himself away.
After all, compared with his two beautiful concubines with their slender figures, Chu Pan'er's body now held little attraction for him.
When Chu Pan'er found out about this, she naturally caused another huge scene.
But Li Shuai dismissed her by saying that his status was different now and that he had to consider the continuation of the Marquis's bloodline.
After some time, both concubines became pregnant.
The Old Madam was overjoyed. While the two concubines were resting and recuperating during their pregnancies, she sent two more gentle and affectionate women to Li Shuai.
Compared with the women from the brothels, the women the Old Madam gave Li Shuai were all guaranteed to be quite beautiful. For a time, Li Shuai was delighted to accept them one after another.
After all, once these two became pregnant, the Old Madam would certainly send several more women to him.
Being the Young Marquis of the Marquis's Residence really was a wonderful life.
He didn't have to do anything and could enjoy all kinds of beautiful women of different types every day.
Even the emperor probably didn't have it as good as him, right?
……
Seeing that Li Shuai now had one woman after another, Chu Pan'er cried, made scenes, and even threatened to hang herself. At first, Li Shuai would still comfort her a few times, but now he couldn't even be bothered to look at her.
He even secretly regretted it.
If he had known Chu Pan'er would become like this, he should have listened to his father back then and married a well-bred noble young lady.
Just look at Chu Pan'er now. She had become nothing more than a shrewish woman!
Yet he had forgotten who it was that had once sworn that he could never marry anyone but Chu Pan'er, and who had directly rejected the Dongbo Marquis's suggestion, insisting that he would never regret his choice.
And now, in less than two years, he had already become just like the Dongbo Marquis.
Of course, the only thing that made him better than the Dongbo Marquis was that he hadn't gone out chasing women everywhere.
……
More than half a year later, Tang Wan gave birth to a daughter.
When the various branches learned that she had given birth to a girl, they were practically gloating, secretly relieved.
He Jiantong, however, was overjoyed.
How could a daughter not be adorable?
After having a daughter, He Jiantong began looking around at the young boys from various families in advance, saying that a future son-in-law had to be raised and cultivated from a young age.
Tang Wan was utterly speechless.
But when she thought that she and Tongtong might die unexpectedly at any time, she agreed with his approach.
Otherwise, after they kicked the bucket, wouldn't their daughter be devoured alive by the other branches?
After looking around, however, He Jiantong took a liking to an imperial prince who was said to be somewhat slow-witted.
The reason was that when he carried his daughter around while visiting the prince's maternal grandfather's family, the child had shown an extraordinary fondness for his daughter, and his daughter also seemed to like him very much. He had made her laugh for quite a long time.
As for his supposedly dull mind, in He Jiantong's eyes, it simply meant that he was honest and straightforward to just the right degree.
Moreover, a prince like this would never become involved in the struggle for the throne in the future. If his daughter married him, she would have the protection of his status without having to worry about being dragged into the struggle for the throne. It was truly the best of both worlds.
However, even if he wasn't very bright, he was still an imperial prince with an exalted status. For a mere merchant like He Jiantong to want his daughter to become the prince's principal wife was practically impossible.
But He Jiantong simply had too much money.
In order to get the emperor to approve the marriage, He Jiantong directly donated one million taels of silver to the imperial treasury, shocking the entire imperial court.
Everyone in the He family said that he had gone mad.
Some even mocked him for being foolish enough to expose his wealth and let the emperor know just how rich he was.
Wasn't that simply inviting trouble?
Yet He Jiantong didn't care in the slightest.
