613: What Else?

What Else?

Xie Niushan stared at him.2

What childhood sweetheart? Why had he not heard about it earlier?

"You..." Xie Niushan was a little slow. He was not as fast as Wen Lancheng, but he was trying his best to keep up with him.

However, he still could not understand.

"Will this girl be willing to be a concubine?" Xie Niushan was helpless and could only whisper.

Wen Lancheng smiled. "Since I've said that I've ruined her innocence, if she isn't willing to be a concubine, then she can only shave her hair and become a monk. So what if I was wrong first? As long as I'm willing to accept her as my concubine, how would she dare to covet being my wife? When that time comes, the rumors out there won't side her." 

Although he, Wen Lancheng, had no parents, he was still an official of the current dynasty?

Young Lady Pei's father had passed away, her mother lived alone after the divorce, and she had been kicked out of the Royal Academy. An ordinary family would not dare to marry such a girl.

What was wrong with him asking her to be his concubine?

Xie Niushan hardly looked at one's family status. Now that Wen Lancheng had reminded him, he thought it made sense.

"Isn't it easy to take a concubine? A palanquin is sent through the door, and once it's through the door, doesn't she have to listen to you?" Xie Niushan was amused. "This idiot dug her own hole and jumped into it. She's tired of living!" 

If he did not like someone, then no matter how pitiful the other party was, he would not be able to soften his heart even a little.

Wen Lancheng smiled bashfully, looking gentle and harmless.

As for the arranged marriage…

When he left his hometown, the elders in the family had indeed mentioned that they wanted to arrange a marriage for him.

However, there was not a suitable candidate at that time, and he wanted to wait a little longer, so he declined. Now that he had sent a message back, the elders in the family would definitely choose a good lady for him immediately.

The Wen family members were not wealthy, and he had no parents or siblings. However, he had never been bullied by the family members all these years.

The reason for this was that the family had never had a child who was more than an elementary scholar in a hundred years, so they had high hopes for him.

Therefore, not only would the family members not fight over his family's wealth, they would guard it for him. As for his future wife... The family members would not act recklessly, and the candidate chosen for him would definitely be an extremely virtuous and gentle good lady.

After a while, Pei Wanyue woke up.

Wen Lancheng walked forward very gently and said, "I really shouldn't have insulted you today. However, I'm willing to take you as my concubine. I will not let you live the rest of your life in a desolate and helpless state." 

Pei Wanyue's pupils constricted. "Concubine?!" 

"What else?" Wen Lancheng smiled. "Young Lady Pei, you can wait at home. When the time comes, I will send someone to fetch you. Of course, if you are not willing, I will not force you." 

After saying that, Wen Lancheng left in a carefree manner.

Xie Niushan was also amused. He clapped his hands and called out, "Amazing!"

He thought Wen Lancheng was a useless scholar. He did not expect that when the time came, he would be quite tough!

Tsk, what a pity. Such a good child, why is he not his son-in-law?!

However... Godson was good enough!

"Son! I'll teach you how to wield a saber! You're taking a wife and a concubine, you can't do it without training your body!" The more Xie Niushan looked at Wen Lancheng, the more he liked him.

This child was much better than his own son!

Xie Pinggang, that coward, always wanted to kill him. He was insensible!

Wen Lancheng turned his head to look at Xie Niushan, then obediently said like a little white bear, "Thank you, Uncle." 

When Xie Niushan heard that, he was elated and even happier.

How sensible!

Xie Niushan was happy, but Pei Wanyue, who was still in the medicine hall, had a ferocious expression on her face.
