In the courtyard adorned with flowers.
The brother and sister, who had been gone for half a month, plopped down in their rattan chairs. They hadn't even finished the fruit soup that Aunt Zhang had just served them when they heard this explosive news.
“Yes, the Sun family has been through a lot lately. It seems that Prefect He particularly hates talking about the Prefect's wife.” Xu Mo, who was on leave, nodded slightly.
To vent his wife's anger, or perhaps to win her forgiveness, Prefect He ordered the two "servants" to be given fifty strokes of the cane and thrown back to the Sun family's doorstep, their bodies covered in blood.
Furthermore, he somehow found four even more beautiful women and placed them in the backyard of the Sun family head, which aroused complaints from the family head's wife, and the backyard has been in chaos ever since.
That wasn't the end of it. All the Sun family members who worked in the government office were dismissed, and even several shops on East Street went bankrupt for no reason.
The Prefect He's methods were more forceful than anyone had expected, and he was only acting on behalf of his wife.
For a time, even Xu Mo had to admire him.
If the Wang family is not exposed and the anger is not vented on Wang Fufeng.
In fact, Wang Fufeng was older than all of them, already fifteen years old.
Although getting married a bit early is a bit of a stretch, it's reasonable to get engaged first and then hold the wedding ceremony when they're sixteen or seventeen the following year.
But Wang Fufeng was taking the blame for them, which made Xu Mo feel somewhat guilty.
"Did they say which family's daughter she is?" Jiang Sheng was actually curious about this.
Zheng Ruqian glared at his younger sister with exasperation, then turned to ask, "Is she pretty? Is she smart and quick-witted?"
In the hearts of the six siblings, Wang Fufeng was a figure to be admired from afar. He was intelligent and handsome, and although he was frail and delicate, his uprightness and integrity were undeniable.
I wonder which girl could be a match for such a young master.
"It hasn't been decided yet, but it's definitely going to be a selection in Anshui County." Xu Mo sighed softly. "I don't know if Fufeng is willing, or if he can get married and have children peacefully and smoothly."
After all, such a sickly person also possessed such a clever and insightful nature.
After sighing, Xu Mo turned his head and saw that the brother and sister had resumed their heated discussion.
"Could it be the Wu family?"
"The Sun family? That's unlikely."
"The Liu family? Or perhaps the Bian family? Could they be related to the county magistrate by marriage?"
"Does the Bian family have any young ladies of marriageable age?"
Xu Mo's lips twitched slightly.
Before long, the brother and sister discovered a new problem.
“Although we’ve lived in Anshui County, it seems we don’t know much about this place.” Jiang Sheng opened her big, round eyes. “We can’t even find out how many eligible young ladies there are for Brother Fufeng.”
Zheng Ruqian scratched his head, "I can send Xiaosong out to inquire."
But he wasn't a native of the area, so even though he could manage to get some information, he always ran into obstacles, making things even more difficult.
If you want to quickly understand a city, finding a local becomes the top priority.
Not only in Anshui County, but in other counties and prefectures, it would be so convenient if someone could transport vegetables while also inquiring about things.
Zheng Ruqian seemed to have discovered a new world, and went outside with his eyes wide open.
"Where is the second brother going?" Xu Mo frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Jiang Sheng finished all the fruit soup in one go, and then drank Zheng Ruqian's too. "Maybe he went to inquire for Brother Fufeng."
Ultimately, they were all worried about Wang Fufeng, and they all cared about Wang Fufeng as a friend.
at the same time.
A fierce argument broke out in the Wang family.
Third Master Wang glared at his rebellious son and roared, "Looking back at the heads of the Wang family, which one has taken control of the entire family before even getting married? Now that you've taken over the management of the Wang family and the token, you should get married as soon as possible and give the third branch of the family a male heir."
"Besides, your health isn't good, and you don't know how many more years you have left to live. If you don't get married and have children soon, are you going to be forced into a ghost marriage?"
He's clearly his own father, yet he speaks in a way that's worse than an uncle or aunt.
Wang Fufeng's fingertips trembled with anger. "Father knows I'm physically disabled. If I die, wouldn't it be better to hand over the power back to you? Why have another child and put you in such a dilemma?"
Master Wang was taken aback; this was indeed his original plan.
Everyone in the Wang family, from the eldest son's branch to the second and third sons, was trying to outlast Wang Fufeng so they could seize power.
But the prefect put pressure on him, forcing him to worry about his rebellious son's marriage.
After the marriage, given Wang Fufeng's health, he might die young. As for the offspring, if they are born, they will be children; if they cannot be born, they will just be a lump of pus and blood.
Thinking about it this way, Third Master Wang became cheerful again.
“Let me tell you, it’s a father’s duty to arrange his children’s marriages. You have to listen whether you want to or not!” He threatened arrogantly. “Learn from your brother. He’s obedient and well-behaved. I can tell him when to get married, and he has to get married when I tell him to.”
Wang Fufeng swallowed another long breath.
Even Chang Yan couldn't bear to watch, so she patted his chest with her hand.
Third Master Wang glanced coldly at the short man who frequently visited the Wang family, his eyes gleaming.
"Prepare well for the wedding. Your father will do his best to find you a daughter from a prestigious family." With that, he turned and left.
Wang Fufeng then closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.
Changyan whispered in his ear, "Brother Fufeng, don't be angry. Third Master Wang always says your younger brother is well-behaved, so why don't you marry a sister-in-law for him first?"
Wang Fufeng paused, realizing he had a plan, and simply let go, saying, "Just do what you want to do."
Having spent so much time together, he had absolute trust in the six siblings.
Chang Yan curled the corners of his mouth and whispered a few words into Wang Fufeng's ear.
