He Chenglu agreed with this, "My son is right. Man proposes, God disposes. The outcome is not up to us to decide. As long as we try our best, it's fine. Madam, please don't put so much pressure on my son."

He Chenglu has always been a non-competitive person, and he likes to let things take their own course. So even though he has good abilities, he has always been only a sixth-rank official. However, he has no complaints about this.

He Chenglu has been working under Lord Yu for many years and has great respect for Yu Xianjie's character and abilities.

So no matter whether he could get promoted or not, He Chenglu was already very satisfied to be able to work under him.

He Yunsheng's personality is very much like his father's. He is not a man with much ambition. As long as he has a clear conscience in everything he does, he is happy and does not force any results.

He Yunsheng also felt the same way about this marriage.

He has always been a filial son. Marriage has been a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words since ancient times. He Yunsheng thinks that as long as his parents are satisfied, it's fine.

He Yunsheng had never seen Miss Lin Wu before, and he didn't even know whether she was round or flat, let alone have any idea about her.

He only knew that his mother really wanted this marriage to be successful, and that marrying into the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery would be a hundred-fold benefit to their He family, so He Yunsheng would naturally do his best to make this happen.

Mrs. He felt helpless when she saw the father and son trying their best and leaving the rest to fate.

"You two are really going to piss me off. Why does my son have to be like you? Well, my son is a good person. As long as he performs well, he will definitely be chosen."

Compared with the simple population of the He family, the Xia family's personnel is relatively large and complex.

Today, the old lady of the Xia family came in person to support her grandson, and all the members of the Xia family from the first to the third branch were present, which shows how seriously they take this matter.

Xia Tingyu is the only son of the eldest son, and the youngest son that Madam Xia had after she gave birth to three daughters. He has been spoiled since he was a child.

Old Madam Xia doted on this grandson very much, and gave priority to Xia Tingyu whenever she had good things.

With the unique favor of Old Madam Xia, no one in the Xia family dared not to flatter the fourth young master. Over time, Xia Tingyu became more and more arrogant and willful.

Xia Tingyu's father, Xia Zhizhong, was a third-rank Zhongshu Shilang, a high official position, and his family was very wealthy.

From childhood to adulthood, Xia Tingyu has always had everything he wanted. He never had to listen to anyone because the Xia family has always been the one that has given him the most thought.

However, the person Xia Tingyu is closest to is his grandmother. He always listens to his grandmother's words and never disobeys her.

For example, when his parents first mentioned this marriage to him, Xia Tingyu was extremely reluctant.

After all, he had never met Lin Qinghan and had no idea what kind of woman she was.

Xia Tingyu was already very reluctant to obey his parents' decision and marry such a woman, and he could not accept it even more when he learned that he was just one of the candidates.

After all, everything about him has been the best since he was a child, and others have always been the ones to fawn over him. It is not anyone else's turn to be picky about him.

Xia Tingyu got very angry about this matter, and the whole Xia family was in chaos.

In the end, it was Old Madam Xia who came out to persuade and calm Xia Tingyu down.

Old Madam Xia also really wanted to facilitate this marriage.

But it was not because she was satisfied with Lin Qinghan as a person, but because Lin Qinghan was the granddaughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

With the piece of fat meat of the Loyal and Brave Marquis’ Mansion in front of us, who can resist being tempted?

As for Lin Qinghan herself, Old Madam Xia actually looked down on her.

Old Madam Xia has already sent people to investigate Lin Qinghan's identity. Her father was a bastard, and she was originally just a bastard's daughter born to a concubine. She only became a legitimate daughter after being registered under the name of the mistress.

For such a lowly girl, Old Lady Xia did not think that Lin Qinghan could receive any good education. She must be the kind of vixen who was not presentable. How could such a woman be worthy of her precious grandson?

Madam Xia holds the same view about Lin Qinghan. Over the years, Lin Qinghan has seldom appeared in public. Madam Xia firmly believes that this is because of her low status and inability to show up in public, and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is worried that she will lose face in front of others.

So at the beginning, Mrs. Xia was in a dilemma. She disliked Lin Qinghan and didn't want her son to suffer any grievances, but she also wanted to climb up the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, and she was worried all day long.

However, the old lady Xia quickly figured out the trick and persuaded Madam Xia to agree to this matter.

"Old wife, listen to me, the old lady. We must fight for the marriage with the Loyal and Brave Marquis. No matter how bad that girl is, we just have to get married first. After she marries in, she will be a member of our Xia family. Even if she has some tricks, they are just some tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the stage. She can't surpass you and me. Since she has become the daughter-in-law of the Xia family, she must listen to us, and we can do whatever we want to her."

Although Madam Xia felt that her mother-in-law's words made sense, she was still worried and said, "Mother, you are right, but we must not offend the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. If she asks her family for support, what should we do?"

Old Madam Xia said disapprovingly, "Don't worry about that. I've asked someone to find out. That girl is timid and not valued in the Marquis' Mansion. We will have our say in the end."

Mrs. Xia felt relieved after hearing this, but she sighed again, "That's good, but it's hard for Yu'er to have such a wife who is not presentable."

Madam Xia comforted him, "It's nothing. Marrying her is just to take the title of wife as a decoration. Then you can choose a few more that Yu'er likes. It's not uncommon for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Even if the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion is powerful, they can't intervene in these matters. Just rest assured."

After convincing Mrs. Xia, Old Lady Xia took some time to persuade Xia Tingyu to be obedient and told him to behave well and please Lin Qinghan and the Lin family.

The other old ladies in the Xia family were not worried. After all, the Xia family had invited one of the best teachers in the capital to teach Xia Tingyu individually. His talent and ability were recognized by the teacher, so he was no worse than others in this aspect.

It’s just that Xia Tingyu is used to being spoiled, and is a little spoiled and willful, and Old Madam Xia is well aware of this.

She also understood that this side of her grandson must not be shown to others, otherwise he would definitely not be chosen, so she repeatedly told Xia Tingyu to control his temper.

Now standing in front of the gate of Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion, Old Madam Xia still did not forget to remind Xia Tingyu again.

"Yu'er, did you remember everything your grandmother and your mother said?"
