623 There is no coincidence in the world

"Hey, hey, Ping'an, Muyang is only two and a half years old. Isn't it a bit early to start learning this year?" Chang Chunfeng grinned from ear to ear.

His eldest grandson is so cute and so smart.

Zhang Jinping also laughed when he mentioned Mu Yang. His son Chuck had a one-year-old daughter after getting married. She was cute, but a little too delicate. How could she be as good as Mu Yang? Every time that kid saw him, his eyes were full of stars, and his little mouth called him uncle grandpa sweeter than anyone else.

"Ping An, let your father bring Mu Yang to my house to play tomorrow. We can go to the farm in the afternoon. Is your wife willing to send such a young boy to the farm?"

Ping An smiled, "Awu is not unwilling. Pingxuan was also raised on the farm when he was four or five years old. Now he is doing well in studying and martial arts. I don't intend to spoil a boy."

Chang Chunfeng felt a little embarrassed. Yan'er was half a year older than Pingxuan, and was not as good as Pingxuan in any aspect.

"Young Master, Jixiang is downstairs. The eldest master asked you to go back quickly. Yuan Zhu is coming to discuss something." Xiao Wu came over at a trot.

Ping An stood up and said, "Dad, uncle, I'm leaving first. The director must be here to discuss the medicinal materials."

Chang Chunfeng nodded: "Go ahead, the director is discussing something important with your master, go quickly."

Zhang Jinping looked at Ping'an and said, "Don't worry, Ping'an will be fine. Brother-in-law, I'm not at home for the past six months. Please come back as often as possible. My father originally wanted to live in Ping'an Village, but now he can't go for the time being."

…

Wan Changsheng and his group were in a hurry on their journey. Seeing that the weather was changing, they finally checked into an inn before dark.

"Erqiang, let's go to the room and settle down first. You order dinner and we'll be down in a minute. It's getting late."

"Uncle Wan, Auntie." A young man's voice came.

Wan Changsheng and Mei Niang turned around and saw a handsome young man and a smiling lady looking at them with surprise.

"Mrs. Fu, Fu An, what a coincidence? Are you returning to Beijing too?" Mei Niang asked happily.

She secretly wondered in her heart, could it be that the mother and daughter returned to Beijing together for that matter?

"Mei Niang, please call me Sister Ying. An'er has been an official for three years and is back in Beijing to report on his work. I came back with him to take a look. What are you doing?"

"Sanqiang and Chen Xuan are back to their hometown to worship their ancestors. My husband and I will take Pingxuan back to visit our hometown. Pingxuan, quickly call Aunt Fu and Brother Fu An."

Sanqiang and Chen Xuan also came over.

Master Chen said, "Well, let's have dinner together. Go back to your rooms and settle down. I'll take care of things here."

Fu An and Mrs. Fu naturally agreed.

As soon as Fu An entered the room, Mrs. Fu walked in and closed the door.

"An'er, I regret it. I still want to marry into the Wan family. Your uncle's marriage is not yet decided. Can we hide this from the Wan family first? I will apologize to them later."

"Mother, no, this is too late. There is no turning back. Ping An is my best friend. I know him best. His whole family is like this."

Madam Fu's eyes were red. "Mother, it's not just because Ping An is a marquis with a promising future. I really like his family, including Xi'er. It's just that our family is not blessed enough. That's all. I will find a chance to tell Ping An's mother about this. We can't delay the girl."

She had made it clear enough back then, and Mei Niang did not refuse, and was more or less willing to do so.

Mrs. Fu shook her head and sighed. She was really reluctant to see such a good marriage fall through.

Her family was rich, and her niece was pretty good, but how could a merchant family compare to a young lady from a marquisate? They were still such a loyal family.

It was all her fault for not paying attention and for being soft-hearted. When she found out about this, she should have given that bitch a bowl of medicine and then sold her off. She should not have let the master and his son know about it.

The more Fu Ying thought about it, the more she regretted it. She wanted to bang her head against the ground. How could she be so obsessed for a moment? What good could a child born by a woman like that be? She actually wanted her to give birth to the child.

Fu An didn't listen to his mother's words. He turned around and saw her crying.

"Mother, some fates are destined by God. Ping An has helped me a lot. It can be said that without his help, I would not be who I am today. I know clearly what he doesn't like, how can I lie to him? Uncle Wan and Auntie are so good to me. I have lived in their home for quite a while. How can I let down such kind people?

Besides, my uncle and his family are very nice to me. Mother, wash your face and let's go downstairs. We can't keep them waiting for too long. It's getting late."

"An'er, this is the thing your mother regrets most in her life." Fu Ying wiped her tears. What's the use of regretting?

Fu An smiled bitterly.

Although he did not have that kind of feelings for Xier, he had indeed been waiting for the little girl to grow up in the past three years. He had long been preparing to propose marriage when he returned to Beijing this time. Otherwise, as a 22-year-old man, he would have already married and had children.

But in the end it was all in vain.

…

The next morning, Fu Ying forced Mei Niang to sit in her car.

Mei Niang saw that she was not in good spirits: "Sister Ying, did you not sleep well last night? Why do you look so bad?"

Fu Ying smiled bitterly: "Mei Niang, I have not been able to sleep well recently. Something happened at home. I..."

Mei Niang didn't want to ask, she looked at her with heartache, "No matter what happens, you have to think about it more open-mindedly, there is nothing you can't get over."

Fu Ying's eyes turned red, and she told the whole story again with gritted teeth.

"It was me who didn't pay attention to the maid at home and harmed my son. I didn't know about it at the beginning. I just heard my son angrily asking me to send the girl away. I asked my son what happened and he said it was nothing. I scolded the maid again and she also said it was nothing and she just made the young master unhappy.

Mei Niang, I was too careless. I should have drunk a bowl of contraceptive medicine regardless of whether she was pregnant or not. When the lady on the farm told me about this, the girl was already five months pregnant.

The Fu family has had few children for generations, and my husband and I wanted to have a child because we were worried about this."

Mei Niang was stunned for a long time.

She thought that marrying into the Fu family was almost a done deal. Her husband and son had no objection, and the Fu family was indeed a very good family.

"Sister Ying, as far as I know, it seems that few families are willing to marry their daughters to a family with a concubine's eldest son. This is not good for Fu An."

Fu Ying's heart sank.

She had more or less had some small thoughts before, and Mei Niang's words were to tell her that there was no possibility for their two families to get married anymore.

"Isn't it? The real rich and powerful families all care about this matter. Our master and I are too soft-hearted. The child in the belly is already so big, and we can't bear to kill the fetus with a bowl of medicine, which has led to such an embarrassing situation now.

I was thinking that after returning to Hezhou this time, I would go to my mother's house. My eldest brother wanted to marry my niece to An'er, but we have never thought of doing so in these years, so now we have no choice but to do it. "

Mei Niang said awkwardly, "It's good to be close relatives."

It's a pity for Fu An, he was a very good young man, very promising at a young age, came from a simple family and knew him well. It's such a pity.

No matter how good a family's eldest son is, she would not want her daughter to marry into the family, and the same goes for the eldest daughter.

Even in the countryside this wouldn't be tolerated.

The Fu family was too soft-hearted, or they cared too much about offspring. Otherwise, the best way would be to solve the problem quietly with a bowl of medicine after knowing the matter. How good a child could a girl like that give birth to?

Sister Ying is still confused.
