Chapter 726 Fu Laiqing, I'll be your wife
Fu Laiqing calmed himself for a moment, his face drooping with a look of dejection: "I can't blame them."
"Grandmother and the others are all interested in girls from noble families. Who wouldn't care about the reputation of their future husband's family? Moreover, this matter is also related to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion and the former Crown Prince of the deposed emperor. Everyone is afraid of offending His Majesty."
"As for me, it's just that I can't get married. At most, people will talk about me a few times, but it's no big deal."
Fu Laiqing sighed softly, as if muttering to himself.
"Anyway, my marriage is just a matchmaker's arrangement. I'm just looking for someone suitable to live with. After we get married, I'll be an official in the court and won't have much to do with the house. She can be free and at will in the house. If she wants to manage the household, then she can manage it. If she doesn't want to manage the household, I'll do it myself."
"After she marries me, everything will be up to her, and she'll be in charge of the house. I won't force her to do anything she doesn't like. I think there should be a girl in the capital who's willing to marry me."
Qian Qiyue was originally worried about Fu Laiqing, but when she heard his words, she was stunned for a moment, and the next moment her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Fu Laiqing, are you serious?"
"What's real?"
"So after you get married, everything will be up to your wife?"
"nature."
"What about your mother?" Qian Qiyue asked.
Fu Laiqing said, "My mother doesn't care about things. Although she has a bad temper, everything is under the control of my grandmother. If my grandmother can't control it, there are still my uncle and his family. Besides, since I know my mother's temper, I naturally won't let my wife deal with these things."
"After I get married, I will live in the same house with my elders, but not in the same courtyard. The Fu family doesn't have any rules for new daughters-in-law. If mother is really embarrassed, I will stand in front of her."
In other words, if Mrs. Fu really causes trouble, he will take the blame.
Qian Qiyue's eyes brightened when she heard this.
She always knew that the family was arranging a marriage for her, and her mother and father were also very picky about finding the best and most suitable family for her.
Qian Qiyue never doubted the judgment of A Niang and the others. They would definitely choose the one with the best character, the best talent, and the most harmonious family among the families of equal status. However, she also knew that no matter how good A Niang and the others' choice was, and no matter how gentle and tolerant the other family was, once they got married, it would be impossible for her to live as carefree and happy as she did now.
Her mother and father loved her, and her brother and sister-in-law were willing to protect her, but after getting married and having a husband's family, she still had to "adhere to the code of conduct for women" and work hard to become a qualified woman in the inner chambers. She must not drag down the Qian family because of her willfulness and let other women in the Qian family have a bad reputation because of her.
Although Qian Qiyue is not very old, she believes that she has seen a lot of things. Even a smart woman like Rong Yue has been blinded and deceived. She is really not very confident in her own vision.
She was willing to follow her parents' arrangements and choose a suitable family, but she was not without some uneasiness about getting married.
But after hearing Fu Laiqing's words just now, she suddenly had an idea.
Yes, if that’s the case, why doesn’t she look for Fu Laiqing?
Fu Laiqing wanted to find someone to live with, and she wanted to too.
Among the children of the powerful and wealthy in Beijing, Fu Laiqing has a very good temperament. He is ambitious and has no bad habits. He is easy to get along with and is not hypocritical or annoying.
Old Madam Fu from the Fu family appears to be strict but is actually very gentle. The family is simple and there are no conflicts between sisters-in-law. The only eldest sister-in-law is a concubine and has no control over her family affairs.
The biggest problem of the Fu family lies with Fu Laiqing's parents, but as he said just now, they are under pressure from Old Madam Fu, suppressed by Lord Cao, and Fu Laiqing is in the front, plus her father is powerful in her family and is deeply favored by the emperor.
Although Mrs. Fu had a bit of a crooked mind, she was simple-minded and very good-looking. At the very least, she could get away with it by giving her some benefits and scaring her a few times.
As for Fu Laiqing's father, he was easier to deal with. He was bent on scheming and climbing up the social ladder, so he would never dare to offend her father, and would not easily go into the backyard to interfere in his son's affairs.
Even if he really was confused, at worst, she could ask her father to beg His Majesty, and she would pester Tang Ning and find an excuse to transfer him out of the capital. I don't think Lord Cao and Madam Fu would stop her...
The more Qian Qiyue thought about it, the more suitable it seemed to her. When she looked at Fu Laiqing with sparkling eyes, she suddenly felt that his not-so-handsome face suddenly became particularly pleasing to the eye.
Isn't this big brother the future husband's family gifted to her by God? !
Fu Laiqing was extremely nervous when Qian Qiyue stared at him, fearing that his words hadn't touched Qian Qiyue's heart. He pretended to be confused and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Qian Qiyue came forward and said, "Fu Laiqing, what do you think of me?"
Fu Laiqing's heart was pounding, but he tried to remain calm: "What's going on?"
"To be your wife."
Fu Laiqing's eyes widened.
Seeing the "shocked" look on his face, Qian Qiyue thought he was unhappy.
She quickly reached out and grabbed the person and walked to the side. After pushing the person into the chair, she put down the oil-paper bag in her hand, poured a cup of tea very attentively, and smiled and stuffed it into Fu Laiqing's hand.
"Look, you need a wife, and I need an in-law. You want to find someone to get along with, and I want to find someone I like to appease my parents."
"Others might be wary of the Fu family and doubt your family traditions because of Fu Jinrou's affairs, but I won't. My parents are easy to talk to and won't embarrass you for some inappropriate things. Besides, we have such a good relationship and know each other well. After we get married, as long as you don't find anyone to cause trouble for me, I promise to protect the people in your house as if they were my own family."
Qian Qiyue was very eloquent and promised a lot of benefits, then looked at Fu Laiqing with an expectant face.
"What do you think? The time is right, the place is right, and the people are right. Why don't we just make do with it?"
Fu Laiqing: "...This, isn't good?"
He looked embarrassed.
"I wanted to find someone to live with, so that Grandma could be at ease. But after all, we're a family after marriage. Although Grandma is kind, she also values rules. If she knew we'd lied to her like this... she would definitely be angry."
"How can this be called cheating?"
Qian Qiyue said confidently, "We are getting married properly, and there are all the necessary etiquette. Besides, this isn't a marriage of deception. After I marry into the Fu family, I will naturally maintain my status as a junior and will do my utmost to protect you and the Fu family."
"The old lady is just hoping that you and your spouse will be in love and everything will go smoothly. We may not be husband and wife, but we are brothers. I promise to be extremely affectionate with you in front of others and never embarrass you. It's easy to hide this from the old lady."
Fu Laiqing's face twisted for a moment. He was happy that Qian Qiyue took the initiative to jump into the trap and want to marry into the Fu family, but he was choked by her words "brotherhood" and almost suffocated.
