Fang Zhiyi was born into a prominent family, but he was called the disgrace of the Fang family by outsiders.

This is simply because Fang Zhiyi has no foundation whatsoever to cultivate battle qi.

However, the Fang family treated him very well. After all, the Fang family was a prominent and wealthy family, and they could easily support a playboy.

Moreover, Fang Zhiyi's younger brother, Fang Congyun, was exceptionally talented and showed promise in his teens. It was even said that he had received praise from the emperor. Although Fang Zhiyi did not understand how to cultivate battle qi, she was happy for her brother.

Faced with his congratulations, Fang Congyun remained calm and composed, as always, displaying the demeanor of a future family head. Only after Fang Zhiyi turned away did Fang Congyun contemptuously mutter "useless," which Fang Zhiyi did not hear.

Fang Congyun knew that Fang Zhiyi's greatest use was that he shared the same bloodline as him, and his mission was to marry a young lady from another family in order to solidify the ties between the families.

Otherwise, given her father's temper, Fang Zhiyi would have been slapped to death long ago.

Fang Zhiyi's fiancée was chosen by the Fang family patriarch before his death. She is the young lady of the Jian family, born around the same time as Fang Zhiyi. However, unlike Fang Zhiyi, Jian Xiaoyu has excellent aptitude and has already broken through to the third level in her teens, with a promising future.

In fact, the Jian family refused this marriage proposal, but since the ancestors of both families had arranged the marriage in front of everyone, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept it.

Fang Zhiyi was actually very self-aware. He knew he was just an ordinary person and had thought about breaking off the engagement, but each time he was stopped by his parents' stern scolding, so he gave up.

On the day the marriage was discussed, he felt extremely uneasy. Jian Xiaoyu had a dark expression on her face, but Fang Zhiyi didn't see that behind her, her usually gentle younger brother's eyes were filled with resentment.

On the day Jian Xiaoyu married into the family, she didn't say a word and looked unwell. Fang Zhiyi consciously took her own quilt and slept in the next room for the night. From that day on, the two entered into a marriage of convenience.

But none of that matters, since Fang Zhiyi has completed his mission and the Fang family has no time to concern themselves with his affairs.

Compared to Jian Xiaoyu, Fang Zhiyi preferred to play with Peng Huan'er, the maid Jian Xiaoyu brought with her. Peng Huan'er said that she was bought by the Jian family because Madam Jian said that her smile was cheerful, so she was asked to accompany the young lady.

Although Fang Zhiyi was a spoiled brat, he wasn't a bad person at heart. He was happy to listen to Peng Huan'er talk about his own life, such as how many acres of land his family owned and how his father raised a cow, but the cow was later confiscated by the government, and so on.

When Peng Huan'er talked about these things, a sad expression would appear on her face.

Fang Zhiyi didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only feel sad with her.

“You’re not like those rich young men,” Peng Huan’er said.

Fang Zhiyi asked, "What's different?"

"You seem pretty silly."

"You're the stupid one."

Fang Zhiyi suggested that she ask Jian Xiaoyu for leave on her behalf and then accompany her back to her hometown. Peng Huan'er said that Fang Zhiyi was impulsive, but she was secretly looking forward to it.

Jian Xiaoyu pretended not to see the maid and her husband spending all their time together. In her opinion, Fang Zhiyi was only fit to be with servants. She was waiting for Fang Congyun to become the head of the family. Congyun had said that he would definitely marry her in a grand ceremony.

Even if it's a second marriage, Cong Yun doesn't care.
