Song Zhuxin had never thought about getting married until she met Wei Wuxiu, at which point she began to consider it. Unfortunately, she was willing, but he was not, so she stopped trying to force a marriage and decided to live her life as it was.
Therefore, they specifically requested that the man marry into the woman's family so that those with certain social standing or family background would not come.
She had already decided on the final winner; the ending would be a fake marriage, extinguishing some people's hopes and saving her from worry.
She never expected things to turn out this way, and she certainly didn't expect Wei Wuxiu to be so free. Well then, she'll see what Wei Wuxiu is up to. Anyway, she has plenty of time.
Wei Wuxiu was unaware of Song Zhuxin's true purpose in seeking a son-in-law. After briefly meeting Yan Xiao, he rushed off to Qi Liancheng.
He was focused on getting there and didn't have time to think too much, but when he arrived in Qiliancheng, he hesitated.
Especially when he finally prepared himself and mustered the courage to see Song Zhuxin, only to be turned away at the door, he completely panicked.
His usual intelligence vanished in an instant, leaving him completely at a loss.
Xiao Rui watched anxiously from the sidelines, even feeling a sense of disappointment and frustration, but dared not show it due to his position.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he stepped forward and said:
“Master, you’ve been standing here for half a day. If you keep standing here, today’s arena match will be over.”
Wei Wuxiu didn't react at all to these words. Everyone standing on the arena was his man. If he wanted, he could be the final winner of the arena competition.
But if Song Zhuxin already dislikes him and is unwilling to accept him anymore, wouldn't his actions be considered taking advantage of her vulnerability?
Furthermore, Song Zhuxin is looking for a son-in-law to marry into the family. Putting aside his status, he is now the only male heir in the Wei family. Can he really disregard the family lineage for the sake of love?
He stood bewildered below the ring, unsure of what to do, staring blankly as if he had lost his soul.
Song Zhuxin was standing in a pavilion not far from the arena, with Mingxue, who had a strange expression, beside her.
She glanced at Wei Wuxiu, who remained motionless in the crowd, and then at Song Zhuxin, who was standing motionless beside her, looking completely bewildered.
Finally, I couldn't help but speak up:
"Master, if you wanted to see him, why did you turn him away? He's been standing there for ages, what does he want?"
Song Zhuxin didn't answer immediately. After a long while, just when Mingxue thought she wouldn't answer, she finally spoke:
"I haven't seen him because there are some things I haven't figured out yet. He's probably standing there feeling the same way."
Mingxue was even more confused by this answer, but she didn't ask any further questions.
For several days in a row, Wei Wuxiu went to the city lord's mansion to pay his respects on time every day, but without exception, he was still rejected every day.
Then he would stand down from the ring, with Xiao Rui always by his side.
Xiao Rui initially tried to give Wei Wuxiu some advice, but later, seeing that Wei Wuxiu wouldn't listen to anything, he chose to shut up.
That day, Xiao Rui was preparing to go to the city lord's mansion with Wei Wuxiu as usual, but Wei Wuxiu did not show up.
Just as he was wondering, Wei Wuxiu, unusually, took a nap, then took a bath and changed his clothes, and only went out after he had eaten and drunk his fill.
He didn't go to the city lord's mansion afterward, but went straight to the martial arts arena. Before Xiao Rui could react, he jumped onto the arena and introduced himself.
Upon hearing Wei Wuxiu's identity, the people below the arena were initially bewildered, but then erupted into an uproar.
"Who did he say he was? Wei Wuxiu? The newly appointed acting prince?"
"Yes, yes, that's what he said."
"Impossible! Someone with such a background, coming to my Qi Liancheng to be a live-in son-in-law? How is that possible?"
"Yes, how could that be?"
"Judging from his extraordinary demeanor and appearance, he matches the rumors quite well. Could it be true?"
"Yes, what's more, our city lord knows the acting prince. Wouldn't it be exposed if they met?"
"Who says it isn't? You tell me..."
There was much discussion among the audience, but no one else went up to the ring.
The arena manager had met Wei Wuxiu before and naturally knew that his identity was genuine. He also knew that his master had once pursued Wei Wuxiu and that Wei Wuxiu had come to Qi Liancheng long ago.
He looked troubled, and finally had no choice but to hurriedly send someone to the city lord's mansion to report the news, while he himself went up to say, forcing himself to speak:
"Your Highness, we are looking for a son-in-law who will marry into the family. This is not a proper arrangement."
Wei Wuxiu remained expressionless and made no attempt to conceal his thoughts, stating directly:
"I can read!"
"But, you, this..."
The person in charge was momentarily at a loss for words, then heard Wei Wuxiu continue:
"I am the right age and unmarried, fully meeting the requirements. If no one else comes up, shouldn't you announce the final winner?"
Logically, that's true, but it's completely different from the original plan! Besides, he wouldn't dare to just take this old man as a son-in-law for Song Zhuxin like that.
Just as the person in charge was sweating profusely with anxiety, Song Zhuxin arrived.
Song Zhuxin didn't see Wei Wuxiu today. She originally thought he had figured things out and left. She couldn't explain her feelings, but she still came here, only to see this scene.
She was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to deal with it, but she still showed up.
The two looked at each other from afar through the crowd, but when their eyes met, Song Zhuxin inexplicably felt calm.
She walked a few steps onto the arena, looked at Wei Wuxiu, and asked with a smile:
"Prince Wei, have you decided to become my son-in-law now that you're on stage?"
When Song Zhuxin asked her question, hundreds of eyes below the stage turned to Wei Wuxiu, waiting to hear his reply.
Then Wei Wuxiu replied without hesitation:
"No, I just want to be your son-in-law."
